Curious Scottish Custom.

In q large fishing community in thu
northeast of Scotland marriage custom
prevails as follows: Bride and bride
groom, followed by large procession ot
friends and neighbors, march out of TIM
village to q farmhouse at some distance
where they are married. Thereafter
bride and bridegroom separate, and, fol
lowed by their friends, proceed to thei
respective homes. From the moment o.
their marriage they are strictly KEEP
apart. the bride entertaining her friends
and the bridegroom his. At certain
hour a party of young men from tn
bridegroom's house proceed to th'
BRIDES house and bring her home to he
husband. They seem to 60 through th
form Of feigning to steal the bride, o
carry her off from her relatives by supe
rior force.

Deaths from Snakes.

The comparatively few deaths among
Us from the bites of animals or reptiles,
give emphasis to the returns just received
in England from India of the number OF
persons killed in that country in the year
1875. by Wild beasts aud snakes. 1t ap'
pears that no fewer than 81 ,39l persons
and 4S ,24 head of cattle perished from

Of them beng natives, who 60 about

Lager Beer.

1t is only about thirty years since lager
beer came into Use in the United States.
The first brewery was established IN
Philadelphia in 1916. Two years later
F. and NJ. Schaefer introduced the busi-
ness into New York. 1t is now one OF
the most important industries of the city.
There are lhirty-seven lager beer brewer
les IN the city and suburbs, and they
turn out over a million barrels in the
course Of the year The beef made by
George Ebert is considered the best; At
all events there ls more demand for it
than for any other. Ebert sold 1872 900
barrels in 1876; Rupert ranks next ss an
extensive manufacturer, his product the
same year being $4,000 barrels. The
Schaefers, who introduced the business :,
sold 45, 900 barrels. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that all the lager beer brewers are
Germans, Some have beGome very rich,
and only few have failed in the business
The capital invested in the business is
very large. Ehert's capital is about ST.
1000, 900. Whsn he started, eleven years
ago, he had to borrow money to carry
him over the first few months. Rupert
has over $3.50, 900 in his breweries, horses,
wagons, etc. He started in 1867. Another
brewer who started in the same year, re-
tired on fortune a few years ago, and
his partner continues the business on q
Icapital of $4OO, 1000. Altogether the mon.
ey invested in the brewing of beer jn and
around New York is probably not less
than IS, ,0O0.0 600.
The men employed in the business earn
from $65 to $75 per month, and have all
the beer they want to drink. Their hours
are long, averaging fifteen out of the
|twenty-four. An employe who doesn u
drink more than twenty glasses q day ie
considered economical. Many 20 up tc
fifty or sixty, and there are some who
boast of capacity for one hurdred. Ru-
pert's men drank eight hundred barrels
last year at the expense of the firm.
Nearly all the beer manufactured now>a.
days is doctored-thst is. drugs are used
to color and tone 1t. The business OF
supplying drugs to the beer men has be
come quita large. The brewers admit the
use of drugs, but maintain that the beel
is improved by them, rather than injured.
The different kinds of beer are so wei
known that any steady i'rbiber can tell a
sip whose beer he is drinkirg.-whethel
it is Ehert's. Rupert's, Dodgers, Claus
sens or some other. Some of the brewer
use Croton water, Laying an immense
tax for it yearly. and others get watel
from Artesirn wells. One firm has ,
well of this that yields over 100000 ga:'
Ions daily.

The Turks.

Phy.icaily (says Colonel Chesney) ths
Turks are a fine race of men, and excellen,
soldiers. We have seen what resistance
was offered to the Russian army by an un
trained force in 1928 and 1899; not only
in he open field, but also in defending
towns. as it were, but half fortified. Ths
speed with which defensive works were
added during seiges Under the fire OF the
enemy, and above all the rapldity with
which the Turks cover an army with en-
treuchmeuts, are examples which might
be followed By ourselves and other ma
tons with advantage. Nor is this all, tol
it appears that the first regular approaches
against fortress were introduced by this
people. Another important war-llke &C
cessory, hot shot, appears. as far as the
author is awsre, to be also of Turkish
origin; it goes back at least to the seige OF
Vienna IN 1858. Tie eo-called Paixhar,
or howitzer gun. is likewise derived from
the Turks. A piece of this kind may be
seen at Woolwich. 1t is one of those cast
by order of Sultan Selim in and previous
to 1895. This piece appears to have been
adopted by the Russians, and was first
used by them under the name of unicorns
at the battle of Smolensko. On this oc-
casion its long range attracted Napoleon's
attention, and the Introduction of an i'm.
proved gun has resul ed from it. The
horizontal shell-firing gun, which was
the chief agent in sending the Turkish
vessels to the bottom at Sinope, was thus
Originally introduced by the Turks. The
works razed at Kurtesse and Schumla ir
1928, and those constructed more recently
at Oltenitza and Ka!afat, are sufficient te
give Us examples. The celebrity and sue
cess with which the operative part of thil
branch of the art of war is executed BY
the Turk, combined with the more gener
al qualifications of valor, obedience an(
which he possesses in an emf
nent degree, offer the best materials TO
the formation Of an army.
