Mr. Munro and Sir Hiirry Lauder joined with Sir William Noble in bestowing their blessing upon the effort to preserve the Lowland Scottish dialect. The occasion was the first dinner of the Vernacular Circle of the Scottish Burns, Club. The ide, says Mr. Munro, has taken deep root. Prizes for its encouragement have been founded in the four Secttish Universities and in some forty schools.

An activu

importance of the prophesy soutaited in their assertion that the library was not only a thing useful and expedient for the College of Justice," but also "profitable for the whole antion." When the Copyright Act of Queen Anno's reign was passed, their institution was recognised as being already a Scottish National Library, and it obtained the privilege which it enjoys to this day of receiving a copy of every book published in the United Kingdom, But for many decades the Advocates Library, as compared with ather National Libraries, has been grievously handicapped for want of funds. The Faculty bas done its best, and its generosity has never been greater than in the last few years, but the burden has become intolerable. The country cannot reasonably expect a body propanganda is being carried out abroad, of some 350 professional men to maintain under the leadership of Dr. Crugie. And a National Library.

In these circumstances, the Faculty has resolved to continue its efforts for the transference of the Advocates' Library, to the nation. They hope that private gifts and public sub seriptions may produce an endowment large enough not to purchase the library, for it is offered as a free gift-but to secure its future and to provide for its develop-

THE DOUBLE FLOWERING CHEŁŁY.

The visit of the Prince of Wales to Japan coincided most happily with cherry-blossom time. The double flowering variety grows easily in the open air in Scotland, and although the trees do nos reach the pro portions or the ungiftence they do in Japan, they are exquisitely beautiful.

During the war, a Japanese naval: officar, having heard in some way, while his vessel was in the Firth of Forth, of a private garden in the vicinity in which there were some double-flowering cherries in blossom, uude

The Advocates' Library, though its legal tomes were but little disturbed by him, captured the imagination of its loved Bohemian, R. I. Stevenson, and he describes it as an annex of the Scottish Salle des pas Perdus, Besides the Courts there are installed under the same roof no less than three libraries—two of their of, no mean order, confused and semi-subterraneus, full of stairs and galleries; where you may see the most studious looking wigs fishing out novels by lanthera light, in the very place where the old Privy Council tortare enjoyed his reception by the Chiedonion Covenanters.

The Library housed for its meetings one of the most brilliant of the Edinburgh literary clubs, the Select," which despite its arrogant title, imparted to Edinburgh social life a high literary tone for: among its original members were David Hume, Adam Smith, Dr. "Jupiter" Carlyle, John Home, Lord Monboddo, Lord Kimes and Principal Robertson.

THE BALFOURS OF WHITTINGEHAM.

The Balfours of Whittingebame are descended from an ancient Fifeshire family: indeed they only came to East Lothian in 1817. The new Peer's father, Mr. James Maitland Balfour, married Ludy Blanche Cecil, a daughter of the second Marquis of Salisbury, father of the eminent statesian and Prime Minister. There were five sous, the new Peer being the eldest, and three daughters. The second and third Bons died unmarried.

The death of the third son, Professor

Francis Maitland Balfour, of Cambridge, was a tragedy. This brilliant naturalist was born in Edinburgh in 1851, and is remembered as a distinguished "writer

AN IMMORAL SCOTS JUDAE,

Sir James Denham, who knew practically everybody in Society, has many diverting stories in his "Memories of the Memorable," which is just published. One of them, is related on the authority of the Mackintosh of Mackintosh. Until recent years, when a Scots lawyer (whom we will call Mr. M'Intyre) was elevated to the Beach, he was not called Mr. Justice M'Intyre, us is the fashion in England, but, taking his title from his place, appeared as 'Lord Glenlawe, his wife remaining only as Mrs. M'Intyre. Well, Lord Glenlawe went on the Continent, and of course uppered on the hotel liste as Lord Glenlawe and Mrs.

M'Intyre. The Mackintosh seeing him next year said, "I
