the Scotch are far too little patriotic,
that they send their sons and daugh-
tiers to English schools that they eschew
their ancient universities, or are doing
all they can to Anglicize the latter by
filling the chairs with English gradu-
ates, and introducing the old wine of
Oxford into the old bottles of Edin-
bufgh. They are even said to be losing
SOME of their ancient piety; tits GER
tain. that they are less particular about
the observance of Sunday and that the
''kist of whistles, which would have
reused the ire of Jenny Geddes, is rap
idly being introduced into the parish
churches. However, the Scot can
afford to listen. to the jibes. For he
has Still his National cookery, his Ma

FREE COLOGNE ROUTES.
New York Women Who COntrIve to Get
Their Perfumery for Nothing.

New York Women Who COntrIve to Get.
Their Perfumery for Nothing.
The young women of New York have
regular free cologne routes, just as
every old topper has his free-lunch
route. And the lunch-tray isn't worked
with any more thoroughness, either.
1t was unusual year ago for Gus
toner to come in and waste time over
the perfumery bottles; they generally
knew what they wanted and got it.
Now the strange thing is when we
don't have hundred feminines a day
waltzing over to the cologne bottles to
ask questions by the acre and take
free bath, with never anything
more than q suggestion of pur-
chasing. Don't imagine that these are
people who can not afford to buy their
perfumery. Young women who are
known in all the fashionable circles of
the city have got the mania, and one
of those whom you have Just seen is the
daughter of Fifth avenue man who
pays taxes on over million dollars
worth of property. Another woman
chief and scent her dress once week
at least is leader in one of the most
exclusive sets up town. 1t is humorous
to see some of them at the counter.
They uncork every bottle within reach,
sniff and snuff and sniff, till long after
all sense of smell is deadcned; ask the
price of this and the price of that; want
to know who uses the one and who the
other; where one was manufactured
and where another; whether certain
odor is lasting, whether it is fashion
able, whether hundred things, and
then at the tail end over they tip some
one of the bottles, sometimes more than
one, and take their daily bath, Stand
it. Of course we stand it. How can we
help it? Some of these folks who sponge
on us for their cologne are good GUS
toners at other counters, and it never
would do to clash with them on such a
score. Other stores are levied on in
! precisely the same way. As | told you,
the pretty creatures have regular free
lunch routes, and they work them with
the sweetest sort of devotion. Costly!
Well, rather-but not quite so costly
as it was once. Some of the bottles over
on that counter that uncork easily are
not exactly imported. Yes, all the high
sounding labels are on them, butlabels,
my guileless boy, are cheaper than eau
de cologne straight from Paris. Ladies
who really want to buy cologne are not
hurt by this bit of fiction. They know
what they want, ask for their favorite
and get it-not from the display OF
gilt labels on the counter,-M. Y.

WHY HE LIKED THE GOVERNOR.
A Story Which Tobacco Chewers win APP
urccfatn.


A Story Which Tobacco Chewsrs WIN APP
prcciate.
Governors and Presidents have queer
visitors occasionally, and as in re-
publican commonwealth the chief mag
istrate is probably n ''self-made man."
he is likely to have callers now and
then who remember him when he wore
overalls and worked in the dirt. He is
sure to be popular if he welcomes such
persons, and shows that he is not dis
turbed by illusions to his old business.
Ex-Governor John j. Bagley of Michi-
gan (who made fortune as tobac-
conist), used to tell the following Incl
dent of his official experience:
One day, while engaged in the Ex-
ecutive Chamber, there was rather
peculiar knock at the door, indicating
that at least the caller was not of the
usual sort. When the door was opened
by an attendant, the caller was found
to be one of the seediest, dirtiest, most
Notwithstanding tramps that ever
slept under hay-stack. His clothes
were not only shabby and dirty, but
stained with tobacco-iuice, while lib
eral stream of that fluid meandered
from a corner of his mouth.
The tramp eyed the attendant curl
ously, and after little delay said "Is
this the place where Governor Baggle-
ly stopspn
Eyes, sir" said the attendant; "this
is his office"
ais he ter hump" asked the visitor.
Eyes. sir; would you like to SEQ
himp" said the amazed attendant OPEN
| ing wide the executive portal.
just then the Governor, who was
seated at his desk, caught sight of his
odd calleE and thinking there might
be some amusement in store, called
