QUAINT, BUT COSY.
The Snug Interior of an Antique Farm
Kitchen in Scotland.

Kitchen in Scotland.
Here is an interesting description of a
Scotch farm kitchen:
What picture of cosiness! The wind
may arise and howl without, the snow
may gather in many a heap, the sheep
may SILVER in their hillside fold, but
here there is warmth and cheer for
man. 1t is a big room, the lamp not
yet lit, and the lights and shadows of
the roaring fire dance many a dance on
the polished hagstones that cover the
floor and the multitudinous rows of
brightly shining plates and cups and
Jugs which grace the shelves.
There are two tables in the kitchen,
long, large one to the left from where
we sit, and smaller one to the right
If you are curious to see what the serv-
ants had for supper take peep at the
larger table and you will see the rem
nants of feast consisting of potatoes
mashed and mixed with cream, onion,
butter, salt and pepper, with al accom-
paniment of skinned milk and I'M
stinted quantities of oatmeal bread
This is the simple fare of our simple
friends. Some have thought and said:
"What a shame that the Carglen
farmer should live so well himself and
half-starve his ill-paid laborerr'
Well, it all depends on what is meant
by living well. Look from the larger
to the smaller table. There sits the
farmer of Linkerstown, and he, too, has
evidently been fed upon the same I'M
many of the larger farms we know,
where the master does not eat with his
men, but LinkerStown was a reminder
of older and better times, when there
was much greater solidarity of inter
est between the employer and the en-
ployed,
On Sunday it is indeed different, for
then the farmer always takes his din
ner and supper "but the hoose;" but it
is well understood that this is only done
because he is always favored with
company" and he would not care to
ask strangers into the kitchen, nor
would his servants desire their presence.
There are many features which de-
serve notice, as we look around but
space forbids their description. One
thing must, however, be mentioned II
is that bundle of birch twigs placed
over the little window in the back of
| the house. The bunch is fresh in ap-
pearance and must have been cut very
recently. 1t is a talisman of luck, and
it was put there by Maggie.
It'll bring guild to the hoose," said
she; but was she not thinking of her
own fortunes? Her heart could possibly
tell. At any rate, she believes in it.
| Ay, and so does every one in this room,
including the farmer himself, by kind
| of instinct, for his reason could hardly
| Justify his credence, ne man OF sober
| life, and sound in the faith. IN. Y.
