"Anlil Ilnliln Urny." A ballad that wou instant fame against the expectation and eveu the wish of its author was "Auld Robin Gray," written by Lady Anne Lindsay about the,eud of the eighteenth century merely for her own satisfaction to re place the coarse versos of an old melo dy that pleased her. She sang charm ingly, and the new ballad soon came Into favor. Great was the curiosity aroused as to the author of this pa thetic song, in whose simple verses all the elements of Q heartrending tragedy are contained, but Lady Anne, modest and retiring by nature, preserved si lence for many years, smiling, no doubt, at the controversy that raged so hotly. In »the course of it her ballad was attributed by some disputants to David Rizzio, declared by others to bo a genuine sixteenth century production and fiually made the subject of a twenty guinea prize to be bestowed on anybody acute enough to bring to light the veritable author.— Cornhill Maga zine. Clgara Few Can Afford. "A long, low strip of land, a vallej between high bills, lies five miles out side of Havana, and there," said a cigar salesman, "the best tobacco in the world is grown. The name of the place is Abajo, and the Vuelta Abajo crops are always bought up two or three years in advance of their plant- Ing. They yield only 35,000 cigars an nually. These cigars sometimes sell as high as $150 a hundred— sl.so apiece. Vuelta Abajo cigars are only smoked by kings and billionaires. There ate many fake Vuelta Abnjos on the mar ket, but the real thing, once smoked, can never be mistaken. Tor there is no other tobacco in the world with an aroma at once so powerful and so del icate."—New York Press. Eat Lena nml Eat It Slowly. Economic methods of eating are so Important and so axiomatic j that it really occasions some surprise that j more is not known about the matter, j Horace Fletcher, in his famous A B Z books on nutrition, very wisely insists upon the necessity of slow mastication j with abundant insalivation. It is real ly astonishing how badly people use the teeth nature gave them for this purpose. Children naturally bolt their food, so it Is said, and adults retain the habit. Not having the digestive power of cats or dogs, which naturally bolt their food, it results that much of our food is undigested and wasted. 400 Acre assignment fine land, easily leveled and put in crop, Put cheap water stock on this and you have a bargain.
