Oats and Scotland.

When DR.. johnson had defined oats as
ga grain which in England is generally
given to horses, but in Scotland supports
the people" Lord Elibank triumphantly
Eetorted, "But where will you find such
horses and such men9" We may admire
the patriotism but we must regret the
loyal mendaoity Of his lordship, for he
must have known how dirty, slow and
slovenly his rural oountrymen were.
The food Of the people was poor, for
they had nothing to cook except oat and
barley meal and green's from their yard,
for no other vegetables were known,
and beef or mutton they seldom saw and
pigs flesh they would not eat if they had
it. Their drink was fermented whey
EeB5fcF a year Ia Barrels, or ale made from
oats and heather. Milk they rarely had,
for the meager COWS provided only two or
three pints a day, and that was kept sour
from being in foul dishes.
So averse were the people to cleanliness
that the butter owed its consistency to the
number Of cows hairs In it and was
churned In kirns, which were kept filthy
because 10 was 'uncanny" to wash them.
The men clad in their rugged, home WOW
en- plaiding coat, with shirts changed
twice a year-at Martinmas and Whit
Sunday-and feet without shoes, save on
Sabbath and in winter snow, were miser-
ably dirty, and their skin hard and with
cred from exposure outside and the peat
reek indoors and subject to the obnoxious
diseases that dirt alone engenders. Scot

Gentlemen All.

All amateur poker players are gentle
men. There is no exception to the rule,
and the amateur poker players themselves
are authority for the statement. Two be-
lated pedestrians were on their way home
the other night, and as they were passing
a house Just inside the limits Of the semi
business section of the street a party Of
Eve men emerged noiselessly from the
doorway.
"Hellol' remarked one Of the men on
their way up town. Poker partly"
'What makes you think soG" asked the
others
"Sure thing. One of them is addressing
the others collectively as gentlemen. It's
one Of the peouliarities of the game. When
a number Of fellows meet to play poker,
II they are not intimately acquainted, they
Invariably address their remarks to the
whole gathering as gentlemen don't
know why it Is unless it is to keep them
constantly reminded of the fact that hold
outs dealing from the bottom Of the deck
and other methods of the professional
gambler are not expected to be introduced
into the game. All l know is that the
members of these gatherings are invaria-
bly, gentlemen. Just 1Otice It, and you

van Beest's Trick.

William Bradford, the American artist,
had begun life as a business man and never
quite overoame the traditions of trade
With this was combined a rigid consoien-
tiousness, derived from his Quaker an
oestry. He and Van Beest were living at
one time in New Bedford. Van Beest
was genuine swashbuokler, gifted with
unusual eloquence in the art Of profane
swearing. Once Van Beest requested
Bradford to refund him loan Of $50.
When the latter protested that it was in
convenient to return it then and pleaded
for time, Van Best let fly a vollsy Of red
hot oaths, swearing that he must have
the money then and there.
With considerable reluctance Bradford
handed him a $50 note. Van Beest there
upon proceeded, with the utmost non
chalanoe, to light his pipe with the bill.
Completely overcome by such an amazing
act Of folly following hard on such blast
OF profanity, Bradford left the room in
state OF stupefaotion After he bad gone
Van Beest burst out laughing and took
the bill from his pocket, telling the by
ISLANDERS that the bill which he had actu-
ally used to light his pipe with was
counterfeit that he had dextrously substi-
tuted for the genuine BILL and that he got
the money from Bradford at that particu-
lar time expressly to play off this trick on
him. m.-San Francisco Argonaut.

as you pass again, you may see that lonely
figure. his eyes always hent upon the ford
beneath him, still keeping his watch.
The man is a salmon catcher In his
hands are a couple Of long ropes, connect

day after day he sits up there intently

The salmon thus caught are sold to
some hotel upon the ford, or sent with
others IN ice to Bergen by the next steam
er. The fisherman gets from threepenoe
to sixpence per pound for his catch-four-
pence Is an average price-and even the
hard earned capture Of three or four sal

long, weary days Of watching means a
