Oats and Scotland.

When Dr.. Johnson had defined oats
as "a grain which in England is gen
orally given to horses, but in Scotland
supports the people," Lord Elibank trl-
umDhantly retorted: but where will
you find such horses and such men,"
We may admire the PATRIOTISM but
we must regret the loyal mendacity of
his lordship, for he must have known
how dirty, slow and slovenly his rural
cOuntrymen were.
The food of the people was poor, for
they had nothing to cook except oat
and barley meal and kail-greens from
| 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, kept for a year
in barrels, or ale made from oats and
heather. Milk they rarely had, for the
meagre 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 cleanli-
ness that the butter owed it's consis-
tency to the number of cows hairs in
| it. and was churned in kirns which
were kept filthy because it was "un-
canny'' to wash them. The men, clad
| in their ragged, home-wOven plaiding
| coat, with shirts changed twice year
at Martinmas and Whit Sunday
and feet without shoes, save on Sab
| bath and in winter snow, were miser-
ably dirty, and their skin hard and
withered from exposure outside and
the peat reek indoors, and subject to
| the obnoxious diseases that dirt alone
engenders-The Scottish Review.

|he people of Minnesota are moving,

The people of Minnesota are moving,
like those of Iowa did a year ago, to
prohibit the so per cent. reinsurance
clause in fire insurance. The insur-
ance companies in that State, Is in
many others, attach clause in the pol
icy providing that unless the insured
carries policies covering at least 50 per
cent of the value of the property in
sured, in case of loss he shall receive
only that proportion to the face OF the
policy which the amount of the policy
bears to the per cent. In other words,
insurance becomes a partner with the
insurance company SO far as paying the
premium is concerned, but there is a
discount on his dividends so far as the
profits are concerned. The great mass
of people do not look upon it as fair
deal and there is likely to be considera-
BILE inhibitive legislation.

The Money for Bloodshed.

1t is perhaps no eXaggeratiOn to say
that the amount of hard cash now re-
served by the various Governments in
view of possible outbreak of war ex-
ceeds rather than falls short of $780,
100000, which would not under any
circumstances be parted with, even for
the most temporary object. 1t does not
require much investigation TO prove
that the outcome of this must be any
thing but beneficial.
The miser who boards his gold in
jures others as we'll as himself, just
as a landowner who deliberately per-
mits his broad acres to lie waste is in
f1icting blow upon the community
which might live and thrive upon the
produce of the soil. For the greater
part Of the last twenty years first one
nation and then another has played
the part of the miSer, and laid a greedy
hold upon treasure which should have
been allowed to circulate and increase
MANIFOLD the wealth of those through
whose hands it passed. Nor could this
have happened at a more unfortunate
time; for while the output Of silver in
creased by leaps and bounds, that OF
gold fell away rapidly.
The gigantic efforts made to convert
Europe into an armed camp have i'm.
poverished the people, not merely by
demanding their labor, which would
have been more probably employed
in tilling the ground and tending the
mill or the loom, but by heaping upon
them an almost unbearable burden OF
taxation, which they are so much the
less able to meet While this state OF
things continues, and these war chests
are being added to, there can be little
hope of any relief.-Chambers' Journal

measures he is hopeful of seeing passed
in the coming session of Congress are
the Nicaragua canal bill and the bill
permitting railway pooling. Mr.. Storer
would better restrain his hopes. If
Congress can pass no better measures
than those twain it would better pass
none. In time of confusion and strin-
gency of the Government finances, the
nation does not wish to load itself with
an expensive canal enterprise, and the
people have lately found enough flaws
and weaknesses lurking in the inter-
state commerce law to be doubly will
ing now to surrender it's single good
feature-the anti-pooling clause.
