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.
"Poor old Itaghu took to the woods.

and there ate a good many of his old
friends from neighboring villages; but
he was at last shot and recognized
from the circumstance of his havine
no tail. e
"You may be quite sure," concluded
Sarimant, "when you hear of a tiger
without a tail that it is some unfortu
nate man who has eaten of that root
and of all the tigers he will be found
the most mischievous."
tJh.e arimant religiously believes
the truth of this story and so do his at

of Sagar not one would doubt the
story of the washerman if he heard it.
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?"
