V-r Vf V".' J LAND O1 DRCUTHIE CRONIES. Convivial Caledonln'a Curious Inns and Hotels ami 8oiuh Facts About Them. Rolert Kempt has gathered together many interesting historical items and quaint anecdotes about the inns and hotels of Scotland, says the Caterer. It must lie confessed the historical side begins very late, for in olden days inns were practically unknown over the border, travelers being received in pri vate houses as guests. Consequently there is no record of such ancient Lon don hostelries as the Tabard, in South ward the Mermaid, in Uread street, or the lilue Boar, in Eastcheap. When Defoe went to Scotland he had difficul ty in finding an inn at Aberdeen, and this in spite of a royal edict issued by James I. in 1424, to the effect that in ail borough towns where there was con siderable traffic, hostelries should be established, but these institutions did not flourish till very much later. Mr. Kempt gives some amusing informa tion as to the pains and penalties en- . acted in tne nfteenth and seventeenth centuries regarding the hours of clos ing, drunkenness, etc. The inns of Aberdeen are accorded a whole chap ter, for there is much to say about those of the last century. They practically formed open clubs for the wits and learned men of the hospitable city. Over very modest repasts and potations, grand symposia were held; the philoso phers lived low, but thought and spoke high. Dr. Johnson seems to have appreci ated the Aberdeen inns; he found them almost as congenial as his hannts in Fleet street, and certainly far bet ter than the Scottish houses of enter tainment. Among other interesting items of information Mr. Kempt points out that whisky is a comparatively modern beverage, and that in olden days claret was almost as much drank as ale. The regent Albany is supposed to have made claret popular. In 1180 red Oascony wine sold in Aberdeen at i sixpence a pint, and later on claret and port wine could be had at eighteen pence a bottle. Indeed claret and port in those early days could be pro cured cheaper in Scotland than in most parts of England. In the cities and country side are many inns with historical interests attached to them. In the Irivercauld Arms hotel, llraemar, is the stone on which the standard of Mar was raised in 174,r), the beginning of Prince Charlie's wild escf.pade. Oth er inns are associated with names - ven erated in Scottish history and litera ture. There are many inns in the Highlands closely connected with Hums, the Ettrick Shepherd, Sir Walter Scott and other kindred giants of old. Scott mentions that it used to "be the fashion to eat oysters in the Covenant Close, Edinburgh, and Mr. Kempt has gathered together many de tails as to this once fashionable form of indulgence. During the eighteenth century it seems that the best society in the Scottish capital, ladies and gen tlemen, used to make parties at one of the taverns in "Auld Heekie," there to partake of oysters and porter, ending up with brandy and rum punch, with sonirs and dancing. Some of these old Aberdeenian and Edinburgh inns were the ancient houses of noble families, great rambling buildings, with many rooms, some of remarkably fine pro portions. Even a few of the country inns were lormer mansions of the lairds of the soil. ' OLD NANCY.' History or an Illicit HUH Which Has Ueen Operated for Thirty Years. The capture of an illicit still operated near Sinking mountain by Deputy Col lector Brown recalls a story of long continued defiance of law. The still was bought in New Haven in IMS and was put to use on the plantuliou of the late George Dye. When the war opened, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, it passed into the hands of a Habersham county whisky dealer, who did a rushing business for four years. There was no railroad at the time within one hundred miles of this sec tion, and the liquor made by "Old Nancy," as the still was fondly named, was the favorite trade not only through northeast Georgia, but crossed the lines into North and South Carolina. Once the still was embargoed by the officers of Habersham in 18ISU because of the demoralization it created among the small boys, who, with the old men, were about all there were left. With the restoration of L'nited States authority "Old Nancy" became con traband. Hevemie prisoners brought before United States commissioners would toll about how "Old Nancy" was prospering, but try as they would the officers never could capture the still. When the distillers of one community found themselves too clo.ely pressed they would run the still over t he moun tain or down the creeks to where com panions in lawlessness would seenre possession of it, and they would run it until compelled to do likewise. This was the still in quest of which Lieut. Melntyre, of the United States army, was killed in (iilmore county in IH75, Subsequently it was run back east, being operated on Warwoman creek, in Iiiilmii county, for several years. Of late the officers heard that this will-o'-the-wisp, which they have been following for thirty years, was in o" ration in a secluded region near Suiting mountain. Collector lirown, with an unm-d posse, successfully lo cated the spot one night during a violent rainstorm. The moonshiners fled, giving the officers the opportunity of destroying the whole plant. SAWING WOOD. The Old Man Mas Somewhat Poo tad on Human Mature. 'Mornln', boy," said Old Jack, who believed lo judicious flattery, and whose doings are reported in Harper's Young People. A he pok he laid down his haw. "Feelin' well, I hope? Yes? Good. Nothln like feelin' well to make a feller feel good. You don't look powerful strong though, Tommy; you're thin. "What's that? You're wiry, be ye? I don't believe that. You oouldn't saw one o' tltpra sticks tliro(fh, You kio? Ho! BbbUj'i UUhtIa': "Why, ye kin saw purty well. Yer stronger'n ye look. I couldn't o' done that better myself. He beats you on sawin', I guess, Bobby. Eh? He can't? Yes, he kin, I believe. Beat ye all hol ler. What? You'll saw two sticks quicker'n he sawed that? Nonsuns! "llokey! ye went through that like lightnin'; but one stick ain't two sticks. No, sir. One ain't never two. Goin' to do the other? Well, well! Tommy, he's goin' to do the other; whatever you goin' to do? You'll do two? "Don't brag, Bobby. Ain't braggin'? Ye'll do three? Waal, go ahead; don't let me interfere. A Hers glad to see bnvssrmnkv. What! the hull lot sawed? Waal, I'm surprised. That bein"the case, I think I'll go indoors an' rest. Sawin' allers did make me tired." The old man walked into the house, and Bobby and Tommy went home wondering if their friend hadn't put up a little game on them, after all. DO AS THEIR FATHERS DID. Philadelphia People and Their Curious Notion of Social Eligibility. Philadelphia's well deserve their reputation for slowness. Progression is an unknown word in the Quaker city. The fashionable people scorn any innovations, as they desire to con tinue to do as their fathers did. When you look upon the number of slow and uncertain horse-car lines and the ag gravating speed of their cable cars, says a writer in the Pittsburgh Dis patch, you can well judge the tempera ment of a people who will stand by and suiter such things. Philadclphians are perhaps the most peculiar, clan nish, unchangeable people that exist in any city of the country. They pos sess certain traits of character and ideas regarding sociology, which will probably be found still thriving and strong by anyone going to Philadel phia a hundred years hence. The ef fect of the absurd idea that the eligi bility to soar in the mystic circles of fashionable Quakerdom is to be de termined by the answer to the ques tion whether he resides uptown or downtown can never be appreciated by one who is not a Philadelphian, or, at least, well acquainted with that city's social peculiarities. It causes people to pay twice as much rental in the downtown residence district for houses not half as good as could be gotten uptown, not to say anything of the questionable pleasure of living among saloons, groceries and shops of all kinds. Instead of dying out, as one would expect it to do in this en lightened age, this feeling regarding the diil'erence one's place of residence makes upon his social standing is posi tively becoming more bitter. This is one of the peculiarities that Philadel phia will retain as long as it exists. Any attempts that have been made to obliterate the dividing line have only ended in dismal failure, leaving the situation much worse than before. It seems tha t common sense was not dis pensed with a very free hand in Phila- ueipnia, at le nst on tins one point. HER NAME Nt-.VER PRINTED. The Curious III Luck hli li Has tor Years Followed a ViHuhloRtoii Woiimu. It looks as though social notoriety is not to be the fate of one Washington woman whose name for some inscrut able reason for the last half-dozen years has been omitted from all pub lished accounts of gatherings in which she has taken part. An overmaster ing curiosity Anally prompted her to institute an Investigation into the matter, says the Post. She then found that, so far from the omis;;iir,i having been intentional on the part of the cor respondents, it arose from the fact that she was personally unknown even by sight to them. Having satisfied her relf on this score, the incognito short ly thereafter ordered her carriage, and. calling for a friend, took her for a drive. The. little excursion, planned for pleasure, had a most disastrous termination, as the horses, taking fright, ran itwav and, getting beyond tlie control of the coachman, the vehicle f", overturned and both ladien i? jured, the owner of the car riage qui. i.eriously. In the midst of herpat-i :tr. .hi; was being carried home therv '.I;; hed through her mind the thoi;'-!it tVif, the runaway would be giv -:i a in the papers. Then, as the 1'ir:,- 'it was her property, her name would of necessity figure in the iiccourt The following morning a detailed account of the accident np Ii. uri'.l i:i the paper, but by a strange fatality tluit lias for so long ruled her elimination from print, her numu was not meiit iotied. That of her companion was sewrul times repi-ated in the article, which wound up by stating that "a friend who was f". rage nt the time was also injured." MAKING POETRY. There Is Often Hard Wark as Well as In.plratlon. There are yet some persons left who fancy that poetry is the product of a fine frenzy; that the poet of genius awakes from a sublimated cataleptic trance to fill page after page with ef fortless beatitudes. A ijuiiiIht of man uscript bheets of Longfellow's "Kx ccWor," which may be found in Har vard, should not only explode this theory, writes a Boston correspondent, but give hope to many a diwouraired amateur. As Longfellow first con structed the first verse of this peem it ran- The shades of night were falling fast As through un Alpine village paused " jum woo. an me pettHunta sung, Kenponded in an unknown tongue, Kxcelslor. This was manifestly weak, as the only obvious reason why the Alpine peasants sung was that they might af ford a rhyme for the youth's response in an unkn nvn tongue. A scond trial at the verse, however, not only failed to Improve it, but arranged it in Midi ioriu vuut 11 in mmeult to bclievo Long, fellow guilty of the fault. The two lust lines of the verse were made to rend; A youth who bore a pearl of price, A banner with the strange device. Tliere ara pot many, even umuug tha inutfuilne pocti of ttMlay, who W(iul f'OMMlt to fffff to 11 WlllUT h. Highest of all ia Leavening Power. -Latest U. S. Gov't Report ARSOsUTCEIff PURE a "pearl -of price." But the poet had by this time three lines to his liking, and the substitution of "a youth who bore 'mid snow and ice" completed the verse as it has been read and spoken throughout the length and breadth of the land. All of which goes to show that the genius of the poet is in the conception, and that the production of the poem, being quite another matter, lies solely in the direction of patient labor. HEALTH IN CORN BREAD. This Accounts for the tiood Condition of the Southern Laborer. Behold the average colored laborer on a southern plantation, said Hon. P. B. Winston, of Minnesota and Vir ginia, recently. How fat and sleek he looks; how his shining eyes and smooth, ebony skin reveal the robust physical man. He is a type of perfect health, and to what does he owe his superb condition? I'll tell you in two words corn bread. There is the grandest food product in the work!, and all honor to the noble American who is trying to teach the old world people the various delicious uses of corn bread and the many palatable ways it can be prepared for the table. If it were not for corn I don't know how many of the poor people of Vir ginia, white and black, would exist. It is in reality the mainstay of life in many localities of the old state. But to really love corn bread I think one must be used to it from childhood. Southern-born men of the old reginw commenced gnawing on corn "pones" when they were babies; as they grew older the pone accompanied them on every hunting and fishing expedition, and so, when maturity was reached, corn in some form or other was wanted at 1 the table three times a day. This fact will, I think, militate against any extensive use of the cereal as food among the people of Europe they haven't been used to it. It has always puzzled me that our own people, out side of the south, fail to npj&reuiate the glories of maize. In the fcreat corn growing states of the west its use is very limited, and the eastern mind, so far as corn is concerned, is a howling wilderness. MEN TIGERS OF INDIA. A Strange Superstition of the Ignorant Native. The belief is very general through out India that men are turned into tigers by eating of a certain root. It is supposed that tigers who destroy many human beings are men who have partaken of this peculiar root. The Sarimant, chief of Deori, related to the author of "Rambles and Recollections" the following anecdote: "The tigers which now infest the woods from Sagar to Deori are neither more nor less than men turned into tigers a thing which often takes place in the woods of central India. The only visible difference between the two is that the metamorphosed tiger has no tail, while the lora, or ordinary tiger, has a very long one. "In the jungle about Deori there is a root which if a man eat of it he is con verted into a tiger on the spot; and if I.' this state he can eat of another root he becomes a man again. When I was a boy a melancholy instance of the root eating occurred. "My father's washerman, llaghti, was, like all washermen, a great drunkard; and, being seized with a violent desire to ascertain what a man felt in the state of a tiger, he went one day to the jungle and brought home two of these roots and desired his wife to stand by him with fine of them, and the instant she saw him assume the tiger shape to thrust it into his mouth, "The washerman ate his root and became instantly a tiger, but his wife was so terrilied at the sight of her hus band in this form that she ran off with the antidote in her hand.

SIGNING THt DECLARATION. Bothersome Flies Expedited the Impor tant Proceeding. Jefferson was fond of telling a story which illustrates in a forcible manner the Importance that absurdly insig nificant matters may sometimes as sume, says the Philadelphia Press. When the deliberative body that gave the world the declaration of inde pendence was in session its proceed ings were conducted in a hall close to which was situated a livery stable. The weather was warm, and from the stable ctftne swarms of flies that lighted on the legs of the honorable members, and, biting through the thin silk stockings then in fashion, gave in finite annoyance. It was no uncommon sight, said Jefferson, to see a member making a speech with a large hand kerchief in hand and pausing at every moment to thrash the flies from his thinly-protected calves. The opinion of the body was not unanimous in favor of the document, and, under other circumstances, discussion mlrrVif have been prolonged for days, if not weeks, but the flies were intolerable. Efforts were made to find another hall free from the pests, but in vain. As the weather became warmer the flies grew worse, and the flapping of hand kerchiefs was heard all over the hall as an accompanimeut to the voices of the speakers. In despair, at last some one suggested that .matters be hurried so that the body might adjourn and Eft away from the flies. There were a few mild protests, but no one heeded them, the immortal declaration was hurriedly copied, and, with handker chiefs in hand, fighting the flies as they came, the members hastened up to tlie table to sign the authentic copy and leave the flies in the lurch. Hail it not been for the livery stable and its inmates there is no telling when the document would have been completed, but it certainly would not hnvn lu..n signed on the Fourth. Very strange. The Somerville Journal has a story of little Dorothy, six years old, who, like other children, is a born egotist. She went out for a horse ear ride with her aunt. She had her new purse with her and was very desirous to pay her own fare, but her aunt said no. "You are my guest," she explained to Dorothy, "so I must pay your fare, but you may take the ten cents and hand it to the conductor, if you like." So Dorothy took the dime and when the conductor came along she handed it to him tn the most dignified manner. He gave her a quick look, and estimat ing that she was under the llve-yecr limit, he rang In only one fare, and handed back a five-cent piece, which Dorothy took without a word. "Wasn't it strange," she asked after she got home, "the conductor took my fare, but he didn't charge Aunt Alice any fare at all?" A i' id zk of 45,000 Is offered by Count Orloff Davidolf for the discovery of a remedy "perfectly certain to cure or to protect honied beasts against cattle plague." The award of the prize is in the hands of the curator of the Im perial Institute of Experimental Medi cine of St. Petersburg, and the compe tition is open to the whole world.
