Under the heading of " Twa Macdonalds," a correspondent writes to say that he saw two Macdonalds being introduced the other day—the one a Gordon, the other a reverend stranger. Says G.: " Aye, aye, mem, am real gled ta see ye. An' hoo lang is it since ye crossed the Border ? " S.: " Weel, aboot a hundor years." G.: An'is the blood thick yet ? " S.: " Na, moD, na; there's nae a drap o' Scottish blood in my veins." G.: "Toots, toots, mon, dinna say that, for a body can see ye hae the grit o' yer granny's parridge in ye yet, an' yer a Covenanter oot an' oot." S.: "I maunna deny it." G.: " Na, na, mon ; the heather, the parridge, an' the Psalms o' Dauvid leave their mark until the third an' fourth generations." A passer-by who gives a copper to an organ-grinder may be patronis'ng a gentleman unawares (says the Daily Mail). The case has came to light of an ex-lieutenant of the Middlesex Regiment who at one period of his career Commanded an expedition which resulted in the capture of a notable Ashanti chief, and who is now engaged in playing an organ in the streets of Chelsea, Inquiry among the firms in Saffron Hill who make a business of letting out piano organs on hire discloses two instances of peregrinating musicians who have fallen from even higher estate. One is the younger son of a viscount: the other is the third son of an earl. The latter, after performing before a house, requests to see the mistress, to whom he hands a collecting book bearing a coronet. Therein, if she ebooses, sho entors her name and tho amount of her donation. Each of tho aristocratic organ-grinders pays Is 8d per day for the hire of the machine and makes a profit of or 28a a week.

" Many are called, but few are chosen 1" Many medicines are called certain cures, yet how few are chosen as worthy of con,", dence. YJere the choice limited to one, Plantekoa would undoubtedly be selected. Were Mr W. Day, junr., Beaver- roadßleuheim, asked 1,0 select the best remedy for blood diseases, the' following testimonial from him indicates how his choice would fall. He says: "My wife suffered from decayed jaw and poverty of blood. She was treated in the Blenheim Hospital, but got no bfjtter until she tried Plantekoa. She is now completely cured. I consider Plantekoa the best medicine I have ever used, and shall always recommend it.—(Signed) \V. Day, iunr., Juno 21st, 1900. Is it possible to stop \he torture of rheumatism and'gout?
