Like all the great towns Haggan visited, Edinburgh proved to be running with low characters, with whom, as well as with the flower of the place—for he was received everywhere—he had many strange ..dventures. His affair with the biiilie would make a long story itself, if told in full as he told it; also what he did to thc piper; how he climbed up the Castle rocks for a wager; why he once marched indignantly out of a church in the middle of the singing; the circumstances in which he cut off his sixth button; ikis heroic defense of a lady who had been attacked by a footpad; his adventures with the soldier who was in love and had a silver snuffbox; his odd meeting with James Stewart, lawful king of Great Britain and Ireland. With this personage, between whom and a throne there only stood the constables, Haggart of Thrums hobnobbed on equal terms. The way they met was this. Haggart was de.ilious of the sensation of driving in a carriage, but grudged much outlay on an experience that would soon be over. He accordingly opened the door of a street vehicle and stepped In, when the driver was not looking. They had a pleasant drive along famous Princes street and would probably have gone farther had not Haggart become aware that someone was hanging on behind. In his indignation ho allied the driver's attention to this, which led to his own eviction. The hanger-on proved to bo no other than the hapless monarch, with whom Haggart subsequently broke a button. For a king, James Stewart, who disguised his royal person ln corduroys, was, as Haggart allowed, very ill in order. The spite of thc authorities had crushed that once proud spirit, and darkened his intellect, nnd he took his friend to a gambling house, where he nodded to the proprietor. "Whether they were in company, with designs on my buttons," Hugg.irt has said, I'm not In ft position to suy, but I bear no ill-will to thein. They treated me most honorable. Ay, the king, as we may Will lilm if we speak in a low voice, advises nie strong to gamble a bttttOU at ine go, for, says he. 'You're sure to win.' Lads, it's no for me to say a word irainst liim. but ' tl lit I ■»'" ' ' wink to the proprietor lad, r.nd so I says i in a loud voice, says I, "I'll gamble half* a-erown first, and if 1 win, then I'll put down a button.' The proprietor sort of nods to the king at that, and I plunks down my half-crown. Weel, lads I wor five shillings in a clink." "Ay, but they were just waiting for your guinea." "It may have been so, Andrew, but we have no proof of that; for, ye see, as soon as I got the five shillings and tin.! buttoned it up in my pouch, I says, 'I'll be stepping hame now,' I says, and away I goes. Te carina fay but what thiy treated me honorable." "They had looked thrown?" "Ou, they did; hut, a man's face is his own to twist it as he pleases." "And ye never saw the king again?" "Ay, I met him after that in a close. I gave the aristocratic crittur saxpenci ' "I'll tell ye what, Tammas Haggart: if he was proclaimed king, he would very likely send for ye to the palace and make ye a knight." "Man, Snecky, I put him through his catechism on that very subject, but he had v hope. Ye canna think how complete despondent he was." "Ye're sure he was a genuine Pretender?" "Nafaags! But when ye're traveling it doesna do to let on what ye think, and I own it's a kind of satisfaction to me now to picture mysel' diddling a king ont of five shillings." "It's a satisfaction to everybody in Thrums, Tammas, and more particular to Tillyloss." "Ay, Tilly has the credit of it in a manner of speaking. And it was just ?!.iieh and go that I didna do a thing with the siller as would have commemorate tbat adventure among future ages.'* "Ay, man?" "I had the notion to get bawbees for the money, namely, one hundred an.l thirty-twa bawbees, for of course I didna count thc saxpence. Well, what w~,s I tc do with them?" "Put the whole lot in the kirk-plate the first Sabbath day after ye eame back to Thrums?" "Na, na. My idea was to present a bawbee to a hundred and thirty-twa folk in Thrums, so as they could keep it round their necks or in a drawTer as a memento of one of their humble fellow- townsmen." "No humble, surely?" "Maybe no, but when ye do a thing in a big public way it's the proper custom to speak of yersel' as a puir crittur, anil leave the other speakers to tell thc truth about ye." "It's a pity ye didna carry out that notion." "Na, it's no, for I had a better a ue after, the. which I did carry out." "Yea?" "Ay, I bocht a broach to Chirsty with the siller." "Ho, ho, ftiat's whaur she got the broach?" "It is so, and though I dinna want to boast, nobody having less need to do so, I can tell ye it was the biegest broach In Edinburgh at the price." Edinburgh was only a corner in Haggart's field of corn, and from it I have not pulled half-a-dozen stalks. He was in various other great centers of adventure, and even in wandering between them he had experiences such as would have been a loiui for any ordinary mans back. Once he turned showman, when the actors were paid in the pennies Hung at them by admirers in the audience. Haggart made for himself a long blood- red nose which proved such an irresistible target for moneyed sportsmen that the other players complained to the management. He sailed up canals swarming with monsters of the deep. He proved such an agreeable companion at farms that sometimes he had to escape In the night. He rescued a child from drowning and cowed a tiger by the power of th# human eye, exactly as these things undone in a book which belonged to C hlrsty He had eleven guineas with him when he set out, and without a notebook he could tell how every penny of thc money was spent. Prices, indeed, he remembered better than anything. I might as well attempt to walk up the wall of a house as to cut r y way through Haggart's corn-Held. Bolero arriving at the Held I thought to get through it by tuking the hr-ttous one by one, but here I am at the end of a chap ter, and scarcely any of tho ct'.rii is |v>. hind me. I now sec that no hlo'trrtphor will ever be able to treat Hagg.o. on tho humility grand scale he demands; for will force tho*'- who kn■■w \\x'» in hi. prime to draw b.iek gcarrd from the attempt, while younger itt'mlrers have- not the shadow of bis personality to warn them of their responsibility.

Mime urn ts Ilu* Aim of the ONI Town'n Histo iml Society- A Valuable Canadian (ollirlion. There are few places in Canada as full of the traditions of the past as Niagara, and the Niagara Historical Society is doing an impo.tant work in collecting and preserving those of a material character. It has chosen the 17th of September us its anniversary, because on thut dav in the yew 17*>i_ the lirst Parliament of Upper Canada met at Niagara-on-the- Lake. The settlement was at lirst called West Niagara, then butlers- burg, from thc leader of the Hangers, whose name hns been preserved in Butlers Barracks. Col. Simcoc, who was made the first Governor, chansr- ed the name again to Newark, nnd that became the first capital of Upper Canada. In the short space of seven yours the society has made one of the best collections of historical documents and articles in Ontario; it has placed eight stone posts to mark historic spots, and has printed ten pamphlets, all bearing on the early and vital history of Canada. The credit for the work that has been done to preserve from oblivion these relics of the past is chiefly due to the President, Miss Janet Carnochan. There i.s much doubt as to where the first sitting of Pailiament was held, but the weight of testimony is in favor of the old wooden building still standing and known as Navy Hall. Tho Parliament first met on Sept. 17, 1792, and The Upper Canada Gazette published there says that on June 4, 1793, Governor Sim- coe held a levee at Navy Hall And so the probability is that Navy Hall was the meeting place. It is certain lhat many of the official documents of the early part of the yer r were dated from the hall. Tho building is slill standing, though in a sadlv d; lapidated condition. Tho worst wrench was given bv a farm >r who us'.ed the hall as a stable. Throuirh the efforts of the society the atten- i tion of the Government was called to this, and the farmer was ordered to vacate, but in doing so he tore down a portion of one wall in order to carry out his cattle stalls. If this is really the fist seat ol constitutional Government in Upper Canada, more than the antiquarian will approve <>f Is rescue from destruction.

THE PUOSPECTOH, LTLLOOET, %Q.. FEBRUARY fi, 1904. i.oi-cl ColeriillfU on tli« Ballon. Lord Coleridge, Lord Chief Jtisti of England front 18180 until U_*~*-i. has been described us England's givatest criniinul rjudge, A writer in the Pall Mall Magazine says that in appearance he has the veiy embodiment oi judicial dignity. lie was ever courteous and considerate, and never tried to win cheap applause at the expense of an inexperienced barrister or overwrought witness. lie had a curious habit, on tlio bench, of leaning back in his chair nnd closing his eyes, and this sometimes led the unwary to conclude that he was asleep. On one occasion, during the trial of a prisoner for setting lire to a dwelling-house, the counsel for tho defence was much upset through his ignorance of thc chief's habit. Throughout the day he had been trying to get before the jury the fact that a man other than the prisoner had openly threatened to burn down the particular house. Each attempt to introduce testimony which the rules of evidence would not admit, was checked by a prompt objection, sustained by the court. But when the speech for the defence was begun Lord Coleridce went off into his usual dee, and thc counsel saw his opportunity. "Gentlemen of the jury," said he, "let me come to another and more • serious point. Vie have heard from the witnesses that a certain Bill ,Smith had, prior to the lire, been dismissed by the prosecutor from his service. Now, gentlemen, I can tell you something—" "Dut not about Mr. William Smith, I'm afraid," came from the bench, in gentle tones which conveyed no sense of irritation or annoyance. Death lioll of tho PUffUC. Over a million and a half people in India have died of plague since the disease first made its appearance in Bombay in 18-5. In 18..6 there were 1,700 deaths. The Mortality increased to 56,000 in IS!)", to .118,- OUt) in 181)3, and to 135,000 in IS'. *>. The following year there was a big drop the number of deaths going down to 93,000, but the hope tnat the. end was in sight was quickly dashed to the ground, the year I'.Ol see ng no less than 274,000 deaths, while the total rose in 1002 to the terrific figure of 5,7,000. Since iVen matters have grown even worse, \\he f.rst three months of the current >ear adding roughly another 800.000 to the list of those who have perished from the disease. ■GUAR PH , iCS. It. A.

At the Canadian Institute rooms in Toronto on a recent S-al'urday l.i.^bt, an addre-s was read by It. A. .Stu- par-fc, l'\\K.S.C, on astronomical matters. Mr. Stupart said the wotld was awaking to the importance of so- le.r physi.s, meteorology, scismo- giaphy ».,d terrestrial magnetism. Much good wor.i had been done by the Toronto Observatory, and he was glad to say that Canadians generally were beginning to appreciate it.. The lecturer traced briefly the lise and growth of meteorological and niagnty^ science, and staled that the Bii.iS* Assoc...♦ion in 1834 ordered a magnetic survey to be made of the pi i.i -ipal lands of the two hemis- jlieics. In 1837 a report was publish.d, and in 1838 an expedition, partly subsidized b.v Queen Victoria, was organized under Sir John Ross and sailed for the Antarctic mi a voyage of discovery and magnetic Investigation. Canada and Van Piemen's Land were selected as being nearest the magne.i'. poles, and St. Helena, because it wns in the sphere of 1 » si magnetic disturbance, and in these three places observatories were or- dore l to be ctccled. Toronto was chosen ns the most suitable point, in Canada, and King's College granted a site. In September, 1810. the lirst magnets weir suspended iu a wooden structure, and f.om then until IH.'_> constant ami careful observations of diurnal changei in magnetic declination and dip were made, but in 1802 the magnets were ruined, as wero those of other observatories in l'otsdam, Greenwich, Kow and Washington by t.he advent of the troll-y car. the electro-magnetic force utilized !><* g so strong as to set up local at tract ions which destroyed thc influence of earth magnetism. Pr.if Stupart then dealt with light, noting that, light, exerts pressure, as is proved by the radionu Lcr. Ue gave a lengthy and lucid description of the Aurora Boreal is, and cx- ll'iniu it according to the theory of primordial matter, with which I r Osborne Reynolds of Owen's College, Manchester lately startled the scientific woi Id. Next. Air. Stupart touched on the su] e. heated steam theory of seismic and volcanic disturbance, referring, of course, to Pelee.

Novel Ways of IIiivIiik Stock. The latest way of selling stock is by measuring with dollar bills. The other day a cow was sold in this manner and the price determined by measuring around thc animal's body b.v $1 bills. it only roquired 11 bills to encircle the cow, and now tht re is one mun in East Flamboro who will never sell that way again. Another game is to offer to buy a hoise lor the amount of money required to measure it from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail, but instead of measuring up over the bead and along the back, the horses tail i.s drawn forward between his bind legs and his head backward between his forelegs, und it is found that the distuncc between the noce and the tail can sometimes be covered by one bill.
