Fany man ever made a sauce that was as good as LEA & PERRINS', you can be sure he would not imitate the appearance of the latter.
Yet practically every Worcestershire" sauce tries to imitate: the appearance of the original.
The very fact that it has to imitate the Lea & Perrins label and bottle, amounts to a declaration of its own inferiority. But for all that, thousands of people still say " Worcestershire" when they mean "Lea & Perrins.” Do you ?--

FACTS ABOUT THE GLENRIDDELL

THE POPE'S OWN DESCRIPTION.
Some particulars regarding the Glen- riddell Burns MS8, presented to Scut land by a munificent American merchaut, were given recently in the London Morning font. The following wrticle was written prior to the presentation, but at a time when there were hopes of Scotland acquiring the treasure through the efforts of some patriotic Scotsmen.

The collection, says The Morning Post was sold by the Committee of the Liverpool Atheneum in July last through Mesars Sotheby, Wilkinson, and Hodge. The purchaser was Mr. J. Hornstein, the bookseller of 110, Victoria-street, who in the past has had many valuable Burns manuscripts through his hands. It is unfortunately true that, as the public here have at lust awakened to believe,America now makes the best market for such treasures, and there are many rival collectors" there who would covet a collection so rare, if also neces- sarily so costly as the Glenriddell volumes. It is perhaps their number that makes the restoration of the manuscripts to this country a possibility. Mr. Horn- stein has received sympathetically the

The flywheel consisted of a small paper windmill, with the sails going round horizontally instead of upright. Close to this stood a glass tube shaped like a F, with a bit of electric wire inserted in each of the two top ends. This was the combustion chamber.

Owing to the scarcity of radium Mr. Phillips on this occasion used other means of producing his explosive mixture, but the audience accepted his assurance that the mixture might be produced by radium in solution.

Readers of The Morning Post have already been informed of the recent history of the manuscripts. They were placed in the hands of Dr. James Currie, about the beginning of last century, when he was preparing the first biography of the poet for his edition of the works. Dr. Currie, who was one of the founders of the Liverpool Athenæum, bequeathed. C. E. S.

This was done at the suggestion of Mr. Henry A. Bright, who in the following year published an account of the collection with a calendar of its contents. And so they remained until about 1902, when, according to a rumour that appears to be well founded, Mr. Gordon Duil offered $5,000 for the MSS. on behalf of Mr. Pierpont Morgan. The offer was ultimately refused, and the collection was withdrawn from a publicity which might lead to further tempting suggestions of the same kind.
The collection, the destination of which thus appears to be hanging in the
