EVOLUTION OF TWEED CLOTIL
The manufacture of tweed cloth is a very important industry on the Scottish Border, the woolen fabric, of Course, takes its name freas the principal river of the district. Sir Walter Scott, is re corded one of the first patrons of the material; he were a pair of trousers ›of tire black and white check known as shepherds tartan. Lord Brougham also wore brecks of the same pattern, as all students of the earlier volumns of Punch Last werk.

THE RETURN OF THE LEWIS FISTERMEX,
The en fishermen of Port of Ness, Lewis, of whose adwuture I wrote last work, have returned to their homes, much astonished to hear of the maxiety which their absence occasioned. It will be re- membered that they sailed for the islet of Sailskier on August 10, and as there had been a great storm and no news revived, they were given up for lost. A pabile subscription was actually started for the relief of the 10" widows" and
orphans." The fishermen say that

The siren of the gunboat, they say, may have been sounded, but the rock of Suil-kier is tunneled through in several places (one fishermann said the islet is set upon five pillars like table) the rear of the see in the tumhels

Another short step was the making of black, green, and blow brniten checks, ideas for colours were called from granite, porphyry, and jasper found in ibe giver Garg and the Pass of Killie- ernakiv. And then there came the henther mixtures, which were first asked for by som gentlemen of the red and gun, who wanted colours which resembled the moorlands and river banks.

The Angle-Senndinavian Society have just spent a holiday and they report that they were received with a hospitality which was impressive and at times ever. whelming. The visitors disappointed the Danos, however, beesuse they did not
come with Seats cups and skirts and naked logs, with plaids of different colours, and with the gontukin bags." But at an evering reception one of the party had the courage to appear in full Highland costume, and this is how one of the newspapers, the "Politiken," de- scribed the scene,-“A crowd of people followed, at more or less distance, the Scottish guests. But all their interest was concentrated in one of the society who actually wore a skirt! He is a elen der, elegant young gentleman, and had his mermaid costume above the usual absolutely irreproachable evening dress- coat, waistcoat, and white tic.

.PHONETIC SPELLING.
At the British Association, Dundee, Sir James Donaldson, Principal of St. Andrew's University, gave, expression to soran novel views on the subject of the spelling of English words. Everybody, he said, should be allowed to spell as he liked. He believed that if our spelling was phonetic we would get hold of the Chinese nation, they would all come to read English: but with the present mode of spelling there was no chance of foreign natione learning our language easily.
