"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.
