Tartans, Rarelegs, Highlanders.

Tho first reference to highland cos
tune occurs in the Saga of Magnus Bare
foot, king of Norway, l093-1108, writ
ten by Snorro Sturleson, who was reared
with the children of that monarch s
daughter. Here it is stated that Mag
nus and his men on their return from a
marauding expedition to the west of
Scotland drought with them a great
deal Of the habits and fashions of cloth
ing of these western parts They went
about the streets with bare legs and had
short kirtles and overcloaks, and there
fore his men called him Magnus Bare
foot or Bareleg."
have something like first reference to
actual tartans in the statutes of the
church of Aberdeen, which provide that
"all ecclesiastics are to be suitably APP
pareled, avoiding red, green and striped
clothing, and their garments shall not
be shorter than the middle Of the leg
But it should be noticed that the word
tartar" which occurs in the fifteenth
century, in the accounts of the lord high
treasurer Of Scotland, and which was re-
garded by both Borthwick and Pinker-

LincOln's Advice to Lawyers.


john G. Nicolay contributes to The
Century some fragments that Lincoln
wrote from time to time. Often they
were penned for the mere purpose of
practice in literary composition. Through
painful, rugged ways the solitary man
educated himself in pioneers cabin
and from his own deep thoughts in the
fields and woods.
One Of the fragments is set of notes
on lecture to lawyers. Lincoln tells
lawyers never TO accept full fee in adj
vance and nothing more than small
retainer, because the man must be more
than common mortal who can feel the
same warm interest in prepaid case as
in one where he Is working for his fec.
A good hint Is conveyed here also to
those who hire lawyers.
In the following sentences there are
suggestions which, if lawyers adopted
them, would make the world better off
and happier than it is now:
Extenlporaneous speaking should be prac-
ticed and cultivated. 1t is the lawyers avenue
to the public. However able and faithful lie
may be in other respects, people are slow TO
bring him business if he cannot make a speech.
And yet there is not a more fatal error TO
young lawyers than relying too much on speech
making. If any one upon his rare powers of
speaking shall claim an exemption from the
drudgery of the law, his case is failure in adj
vance.
Discourage litigation. Persuade your neigh
bors to compromise whenever you can. Point
out to them how the nominal winner is often
a real loser-in fees, expenses and waste of
time. As peacemaker the LAWYER has SUI
perior opportunity of being good man. There
will still be bu mess enough.
Never stir up litigation. A worse man can
scarcely be found than one who does this. Who
can be more nearly a ilend than he who habit
ually overhauls the register of deeds in search
of defects in titles, whereon to stir up strife
and put money in his pocket? \ moral tone
ought to be infused into the profession which
should drive such men out of it.

Mr.. J Luning who is probably
known, to number of citizens
will leave tomorrow in the Aus
tralia. There has been some talk
of emphasizing his departure by
a dinner given in honor to the
famous collector, and there has
been a suggestion of presenting
him with a gold-headed cane.
His debtors would probably have
joined in both subscriptions, be-
cause the old sinner ism as bad
as he looks; but it was learned
that the collaterals of his owing"
friends were not sufficient to pay
for a dinner, or for the purchase
of a gold headed stick. And none

The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1894-02-18

Clatsop county Is not the only part Of
the country where road Improvement
agitation is a stirring element, and
meetings are being held all over the
country at this season Of the year with
the laudable object OF obtaining better
country roads, One of the most recent
OF these meetings was that of the New
Jersey State Road Improvement Asso-
ciation, which met at Trenton last week.
The statistics given in the presidents
address as to the extent OF improve
inent by means Of state aid were not,
IL is true. very imposing, but they at
any rate point to an advance, though 1t
may be only a moderate one. 1t appears
that thlrty..ix niles Of stone road were
secured last year through state aid, that
thirty-three miles have been approved
and are in course of erection for the
present year, and that thirty-six more
have been applied for which cannot be
obtained under the present appropria-
ton from the state. Evidently there are
portions Of the continent In which good
country roads are not set at their true
value and duly appreciated.

JUMBO OF FIRE ENGINES.

The largest and most powerful loco

Of hose, 8 1-2 inches in diameter, horl-
zontal stream of water a distance OF
34S feet, and two streams, each as large
as that thrown by an ordinary fire en-
gine, a distance of over 300 feet. The
size of this leviathan is better appre-
ciated when we think that common
horse draught engine only weighs about
5000 pounds, and has q capacity of only
500 or 600 gallons per minute. The road
driving power of the engine is applied
through two endless chains running
over sprocket wheels on each of the
main rear wheels, permitting these
wheels to be driven at varying speeds
when turning corners. The engine may

The Toronto Empire says: THE rich
govern the poor in the United States.
For that reason they win not consent
to the income tax. Instead, they ask
the government to increase the dehclt
for the poor man to pay when times Inn
prove. It is the wage-earners who have
always supplied the revenues Of the re-
public, and apparently it has been de-
termined that they shall continue to do
So" The Toronto paper is evidently un-
aware that the main objection to tho
iniQuitous tax is that It ia class leslsla-
tion, and that In this country II not un
der the British flag, all men are Ten
dowed with equal rights and privil-
eges," whether rich or poor. An income
tax law is not possible of an impartial
operation, and in addition simply puts
a premium on fraud and perjury.
