established, but these institutions did not flourish till very much later. Mir. Kempt gives some amusing informa- tion as to the pains and penalties en- acted in the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries regarding the hours of clos ing, drunkenness, etc. The inns of Aberdeen are accorded 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 modestrepastsa 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 MT. 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 14SO red Gascony wine sold in Aberdeen at siXpence pint, and later on claret and port wine could be had at eighteen pence 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 Invercauld Arms hotel, Braemar, is the stone on which the standard of Mar was raised in 1745, the beginning of Prince Charlie's wild esca pade. 9th CT inns are associated with names ven- erated in Scottish history and litera- ture. There are many inns in the Highlands closely connected with Burns, 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 MT. 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 Reekie," there to partake of oysters and porter, ending up with brandy and rum punch, with songs and dancing. Some of these old Aberdeenian and Edinburgh inns we re 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 former mansions of the lairds of the soil.

COnvivia1 Caledonias Curious Inns and
 Hotels and Some Facts About Them.
 Robert Kempt has gathered together many interesting historical items and quaint anecdotes about the inns and hotels of Scotland, says the Caterer. It must be confessed the historical side begins very late, for in olden days inns were practically unknown over the border, travellers being received in pri vate houses as guests. Consequently there is no record of such ancient Lon don hostelries as the Tabard in South wark; the Mermaid, in Bread street, or the Blue Boar, in Eastcheap. When Defoe went to Scotland he had difficult 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 all borough towns where there was con- siderable traffic, hostelries should be

A TRAGIC ROMANCE.
A Texas Desperate Whose Victims Were
 Scattered Far and Wide.


 A Texas Desperate Whose Victims Were
 Scattered Far and Wide.
 The man who told the story between the puffs of his cigar was from Texas, says the Kansas City Times. Clay Allison's life was tragic romance he began. ''Glay Allison was desperado. He lived in the Red river country in the panhandle. Ills trigger finger was busiest in the early sos. His record was twenty-one. He boasted of it. Twenty-one dead men, whose graves were scattered from Dodge City to Santa Fe. Imyself saw him kill Bill Chunk, a bad man, who shot people just for the fun of seeing them fall The two men had no cause for quarrel They were the prize killers of the same section of the country. It was a spirit of rivalry which made them swear to shoot each other on sight Their friends bet on the result of their first chance rencontre. The met one night at cross-road inn in New Mexico and sat down at tables opposite each other, with their drawn siX-shooters resting on their laps beneath their napkins. 4 plate of oysters on the shell had just been set before Chunk, when he dropped his hand, iii careless fashion. and sent ball at Allison be- meath the table. Quick as a leap of lightning Allison's gun replied. A tiny red spot between Chunks eyes marked where the bullet entered. The dead man rolled over on the table and was still, with his face downward in the dish of oysters.
 Allison was a large cattle owner He went on drive to Kansas City once, and while here fell in love, married and took the woman to his home in the west to live. A child was born to them "a child whose face was as beautiful as the face of cherub, but whose poor little body was horribly deformed. Allison loved the child with the great love of his passionate nature. In the babes misshapen and twisted form his superstitious mind read meaning as significant as that of the message which the Divine hand wrote on the palace walls of the king of old in Babylon. God, he thought, had visited curse upon him for his sins. He quit his wild ways He drank no more No man ever after the birth of his child fell before his deadly pistol. He was completely changed. In the new life which followed he devoted himself with absorbing energy to his business interests. He became rich in time. Ten thousand cattle on the Texas ranges bore his brand. A few years ago he was driving from his ranch on a heavy road wagon to town. The heavy wheels jolted down into deep rut. Allison was pitched. headforemost to the ground. His neck was broken.

WINTER BEE-HOUSE.
How to Build One That Is Cheap, Warm
 and Very Comfortable.

Prominent bee men recommend the construction of winter quarters for bees of straw of any requisite size, building two walls, that is, an outer and an inner wall of straw; the straw is confined by stakes, and the space between the two walls to be filled with sawdust, or something of that nature; cheap roof and one door.
 Such place might be made cheap and very warm and comfortable. It need not be very large. It can be modelled to suit yourself. As more expensive affair, after considerable progress has been made, Mr. Quimby recommends a room built as follows: The room for this purpose is Sx16 feet, and seven
 feet high, without any windows; a good coat of plaster is put on the in-

A COSTLY PROCEEDING.
The Penalty of Asking for Kiss in Brit
 sh Burmab.

sh Burmab.
 The police court reports in the Lon don papers sometimes quote the price of kiss, which usually ranges from half crown to half a sovereign, ac- cordlng to the temperament of the magistrate. How ridiculously cheap this is, says a writer in London Truth, will be seen from the following ac- count of the cost of merely asking for kiss, which has been sent to me from India:
 Probably you will hardly credit the story, but it is quite true, and, though the names are withheld by the Allaha- bad paper which gives the facts, the parties are well known. An officer of the Madras medical service was hold in one of the most desirable civil surgeoncies in the province, and there he received visit from civilian and his wife. While driving with the lady in dog-cart the doctor asked her for a kiss. It was very wrong, Especially as there was a native servant sitting behind the couple), and he met with the stern repulse which his impudence and imprudence invited. This exemplary woman afterward wrote to the doctor that she had told her husband of his conduct. The doctor then wrote an abject apology, which the husband submitted to the Madras government. Without being allowed to say word on his own behalf, the doctor was forthwith officially advised to re- sign the service to avoid dismissal. Since then the Madras government has been induced to modify it's decision. The offender is graciously permitted to serve the further nine months neces- 'sary to qualify him for the lowest scale of pension, but he has been transferred from his civil surgeoncy back to mili- tary service and packed off to a remote station in upper Burmah."
