QUEER BOOK TITLES FOUND.

As the keeper of 4,000,000 of books, the late Dr Fortescue delighted to tell of the titular curiosities in the British Museum. He found it necessary very frequently to dip deeply into a book before discovering its subject. Thus, "Music of the Wild" resolved it-self into natural history, "LiVht for the Blind" into an appeal on behalf of foreign missions, and "Earl Percy's s Dinner Table" into a war history. But lie boob that baffled him completely was "The Abby on the Marsh." There was internal evidence that the book was an account of a real abbey, . but the author had forgotten to mention its name.
