A Scotch highland minister was very fond-of-commenting on each verse as he read it out. On reading the precept. “Walk circumspectly,” he said: “Ye’ve all seen a cat, my brethren, walking on the top of a wall covered wi’ broken bottles and bits of glass. See hoo it lifts ae fit and then anither fit and hoo slowly and carefully it puts it doon, tc keep clear of the sharp bits of glass.

They were excavating for the purpose of. getting dirt to be used in leveling off the grounds around the new depot at Grass Valley. Yesterday as they were about to ‘quit work the men put in several blasts which loosened considerable of the bank and this morning they were engaged in loading it into the railroad cars. At about 11 o'clock the top of the standing bank began to fall and the men all got out of the way except William Bovey and Frank Osborne. These two gentlemen were buried by the debris and it was necessary for their fellow workmen to dig them out. Not much difficulty was experienced in getting Osborne loose but Bovey seemed to be wedged in tighter and it} was some time before he was released. When the crew went back to help their imprisoned comrades all that could be seen of Bovey wasthe top of his. head and while he was being dug out suffered terribly with his back. When he ‘was put upon his feet he felland was unable to walk. A special engine took the injured man to the Grass Valley depot, from which place he was taken to his home. A doctor was summohed and did whaf he could to relieve the suffering man. It is thought ‘he is internally injured. Mr. Bovey is a brother of the Bovey Brothers, the shoe dealers of this city. While Osborne was bruised conslderably it is not thought his injuries are serious. Death of John Binkieman. After an illness of some time with consumption, John A.

Suicides and Crossroads. ~~ It has been suggested that suicides were buried at croséroads because it was usual to erect a cross’at such . places. Those who were excluded from j holy rites were buried there as the place next in sanctity to consecrated ground. It was an old ‘superstition that the devil danced at crossroads and that the erection of a cross.thereat would prevent such unseemly practices. From this or some other superstition, such as the fear that his.ghost might walk the earth, arose the custom.of driving a stake through the suicide’s body. These plausible theories haye gained many advocates, but it is more Hkely that burial at crossroads was intended as a mark of indignity. The temples, or rather altars; of the heathen Teutons were mostly at the junction of crossroads. The Place of execution ‘Was there, and criminals were sacrificed to the gods; hence suicides were buried at the crossroads to give as heathen burial. Probably, too, the publicity of such a spot, which insured the fact that a great numberof people would become directly aware of the degrading consequences of the crime, had a good deal to do with its selection. A curious fact in this connection is to be found Plato’s Lawes (book ix, appointed place _ where three roads meet, and let all the magistrates, in behalf of the, whole state, carry Secae stone and burl it 7, BAP, bead pt dead body.” ° Giving.

Burns, hearing of this, immediately composed his famous elegy, in which skill of his hero, ending each verse with the plaintive line, “Tam Samson’s dead.” Some one having told Samson that Burns had written a poem—‘“a gey queer ane”—about him, he sent for the poet and in something like wrath asked him to read what he had written. On hearing the recital of his exploits he smiled grimly and seemed by no means displeased. “But,” he exclaimed, “I’m no’ dead yet, Robin. -Wherefore should ye say that I’m dead?’ Burns retired for a few minutes; then he returned and recited to Tam the following verse, which he:had composed in the interval: = PER CONTRA. Go, Fame, an canter like a filly Through a’ the streets an neuks of Killie; -Tell ev'ry social, honest billie To cease his grievin, Yor yet, unskaith’d by Death’s sles Lene Tam Samson’s livin! Samson laughed gleefully and exclaimed, ““That’s no’ bad, Robin; that'll do,” and the poet. was received once more into his good graces.—Chambers’ Journal. Hunting Baboons In South Africa.The baboons which frequent this rocky country are so destructive to the stock farms that organized raids have to be made upon them. It is useless trying to get a shot at the baboon dur ing the day: he is a wily creature and knows the deadly effects Of a Tifie just as well as the hunter. Early in the morning the party leave the farm and quietly surround the kranz, or rock, where the unsuspecting baboons are sleeping. At the first break of dawn the head baboon is on the move, to see that everyibing is right. He no sooner makes an appear ance than he is greeted with a showet ‘s In’an tproar. They rush hither anc thither, bowling with rage and pain ‘. looking for a place of esenpe. But few of them succeed. Directly the hunters have retifcd, the blacks, who. have been following up the party, make a rush for the tails. of the baboons Sometimes they are in so great 2 hurry to secure these that they fail to ob serve that the baboon is not dead and tails are taken to the magistrate’s of fice, where a reward of 2s. 6d. each is paid for them by government.—London Chronicle. .

They were excavating for the purpose of. getting dirt to be used in leveling off the grounds around the new depot at Grass Valley. Yesterday as they were about to ‘quit work the men put in several blasts which loosened considerable of the bank and this morning they were engaged in loading it into the railroad cars. At about 11 o'clock the top of the standing bank began to fall and the men all got out of the way except William Bovey and Frank Osborne. These two gentlemen were buried by the debris and it was necessary for their fellow workmen to dig them out. Not much difficulty was experienced in getting Osborne loose but Bovey seemed to be wedged in tighter and it} was some time before he was released. When the crew went back to help their imprisoned comrades all that could be seen of Bovey wasthe top of his. head and while he was being dug out suffered terribly with his back. When he ‘was put upon his feet he felland was unable to walk. A special engine took the injured man to the Grass Valley depot, from which place he was taken to his home. A doctor was summohed and did whaf he could to relieve the suffering man. It is thought ‘he is internally injured. Mr. Bovey is a brother of the Bovey Brothers, the shoe dealers of this city. While Osborne was bruised conslderably it is not thought his injuries are serious. Death of John Binkieman. After an illness of some time with consumption, John A.

Suicides and Crossroads. ~~ It has been suggested that suicides were buried at croséroads because it was usual to erect a cross’at such . places. Those who were excluded from j holy rites were buried there as the place next in sanctity to consecrated ground. It was an old ‘superstition that the devil danced at crossroads and that the erection of a cross.thereat would prevent such unseemly practices. From this or some other superstition, such as the fear that his.ghost might walk the earth, arose the custom.of driving a stake through the suicide’s body. These plausible theories haye gained many advocates, but it is more Hkely that burial at crossroads was intended as a mark of indignity. The temples, or rather altars; of the heathen Teutons were mostly at the junction of crossroads. The Place of execution ‘Was there, and criminals were sacrificed to the gods; hence suicides were buried at the crossroads to give as heathen burial. Probably, too, the publicity of such a spot, which insured the fact that a great numberof people would become directly aware of the degrading consequences of the crime, had a good deal to do with its selection. A curious fact in this connection is to be found Plato’s Lawes (book ix, appointed place _ where three roads meet, and let all the magistrates, in behalf of the, whole state, carry Secae stone and burl it 7, BAP, bead pt dead body.” ° Giving.

Burns, hearing of this, immediately composed his famous elegy, in which skill of his hero, ending each verse with the plaintive line, “Tam Samson’s dead.” Some one having told Samson that Burns had written a poem—‘“a gey queer ane”—about him, he sent for the poet and in something like wrath asked him to read what he had written. On hearing the recital of his exploits he smiled grimly and seemed by no means displeased. “But,” he exclaimed, “I’m no’ dead yet, Robin. -Wherefore should ye say that I’m dead?’ Burns retired for a few minutes; then he returned and recited to Tam the following verse, which he:had composed in the interval: = PER CONTRA. Go, Fame, an canter like a filly Through a’ the streets an neuks of Killie; -Tell ev'ry social, honest billie To cease his grievin, Yor yet, unskaith’d by Death’s sles Lene Tam Samson’s livin!

Hunting Baboons In South Africa.The baboons which frequent this rocky country are so destructive to the stock farms that organized raids have to be made upon them. It is useless trying to get a shot at the baboon dur ing the day: he is a wily creature and knows the deadly effects Of a Tifie just as well as the hunter. Early in the morning the party leave the farm and quietly surround the kranz, or rock, where the unsuspecting baboons are sleeping. At the first break of dawn the head baboon is on the move, to see that everyibing is right. He no sooner makes an appear ance than he is greeted with a showet ‘s In’an tproar. They rush hither anc thither, bowling with rage and pain ‘. looking for a place of esenpe. But few of them succeed. Directly the hunters have retifcd, the blacks, who. have been following up the party, make a rush for the tails. of the baboons Sometimes they are in so great 2 hurry to secure these that they fail to ob serve that the baboon is not dead and tails are taken to the magistrate’s of fice, where a reward of 2s. 6d. each is paid for them by government.—London Chronicle. .
