SCOTCH SlNECURE.
That May Ee Obviatcd After Running
Six Hundred Years.

1t is proposed 10y the lord of the
treasury to commute the payment o.
gag 15s, which is annually paid to the
holder of the ancient office of heritable
usher of Scotland.
The Office, says the London Mail
was originally conferred on Alexander
Cockburn, of London, and his heirs
by an act of parliament in Scotland in
1898, and the original grant was con-
firmed by subsequent acts of the Scot
tish parliament in 1851 and 1856, the
latter act attaching a salary of e G25C
year to the Office. but certain statu-
tory DEDUCTIONS have reduced the
amount row payable to { 242 15s.
In 1905 the office, with the salary,
being a hcritable subject capable OF
being assigned away, was acquired by
Sir Patrick Walker for e7,6OO, sum
equivalent to 31H years purchase OF
the salary. In 1890, the question
whether the grant was permanently
binding was submitted to the law Off
GERS OF the crown in Scotland, who
stated that in their opinion it was le-
gally binding. as resting on series of
acts OF the Scots parliament.
No duties of an onerOus kind are or
have been required for a long time
from the holder of the Office, and it is
now proposed TO commute the payment
at 81 years purchase.

BUTCHER GOWNS.
And Gowns, busters, Cents and
sleeves in Various Occupations.

And Gowns, Busters, Conts and
sleeves in Various Occupations.
Butchers gowns, which are made OF
cotton and linen, come often in all white,
sometimes in blue check, often in ma
terial that is plaided off with lines on
white ground. Sometimes the lines are
all of the same color; sometimes lines
of two or three different colors are
woven into the fabric. There are many
tasteful designs in the materials used
for butcher gowns. Beef handlers wear
usually gown or duster made of a
dark blue material, says the New York
Sun.
Fish dealers wear duster or gown
of blue check. Grocer's busters are
made most commonly of blue linen, as
are the busters worn by druggists;
they are sometimes made of a striped
cotton material. The bartender wears
white duck coat, and there are white
duck coats made for BARRIERS.
There are aprons made in various
STYLES, for butchers, bartenders, and
others. Aprons are almost always
white. Sleeves are sold for butchers
made of white material, and also of ma
teral to match the gown. Straw cuffs
are worn by many. Winter ulsters are
made for butchers and others whose
business or occupation may make them
desirable.
There are tailors who confine their at
tention to the making and selling of
butcher and other gowns, busters
and coats. and the aprons, sleeves and
cuffs commonly worn with them.

TEAR PITS" OF THE DEER.
Grounds for the Poets Claims That
II Stag weeps.

Grounds for the Poets Claims That
Stag Weeps.
Both the poets and the prose writer's
of imaginative or contemplative turn
of mind have often alluded to the tears
shed by stags and other wounded cfea-
lures of the deer family, says the St.
Louis Republic. Shakespeare put it in
this way in describing the injured stag:
The big round tears
Courscd one another down his innocent
nose
In piteous chase.
There is, of course, more poetry than
truth in these references to the actual
shedding of tears by members of the
deer family, yet it is q fact that such
animals are provided with curious set
of organs, the action of which has
given rise to the tear shedding belief.
The organ in question is the lachrymal
sinus or tear pit" which is situated
Just below each eye. 1t is kind of
closed cavity, capable of being opened
at the pleasure of its owner and which
secretes a greasy, waXy fluid. When
creatures provided with this curious
organ get hurt or become enraged it
has the effect of softening the waXy
substance in the tear pit" When SO
softened, it escapes as tears would and
flows down over the nose and face.
The uses of this queer set of so-called
lachrymal organs are not clearly under
stood by the biologists.

One of the richest men living, whose
immense wealth makes him target
for poor people, has recently been in
Paris and the way in which he repelled
one of the applicants for his generosity
is related like this, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch: On the opposite side of the
hotel table sat woman who had once
been rich.
Monsieur, you Englshmen are so
chivalrous-so ready to assist those in
distress"
Yes" said the man OF wealth, hest
tating. He had heard that before and
thought he knew what was coming
next.
"Would you, with your usual gener-
isity, do me favor and great kind.
ness?"
"Yes, madam-that is, it depends
somewhat-"
Think well, monsieur, before you
promise, for it is great kindness"
1t was the same old plea that he had
heard many times before from people
who wanted loan.
II am afraid, madam, that I shall
have to-but what is it you wish?"
only that would be kind enough,
monsieur, to pass me the mustard. You
have everything on your side of the
table"

TWO TYPES OF THE SOUTH,
Early Settlers from England Leave
Their Traces to This Day.

Early Settlers from England Leave
Their Traces to This Day.
The two leading types of southern
population are plainly the Virginian
and the South Carolinian of the tide
water, For this fact there are both
historical and physiographic reasons,
declares the Atlantic. Virginia was the
first and South Carolina the second
southern colony TO be settled by we'll
to-do Englishmen who desired to found
permanent homes. The introduction OF
slavery and its application TO staple
crops speedily gave an aristocratic tone
to society in both provinces, but be-
tween them, in North Carolina, and to
the south of them, in Georgia, there
were fewer wealthy settlers and nc
staple crops to speak of, so that from the
first society in these provinces was
more or less democratic in spite OF
slavery. Before, however, the gentry OF
the coast could expand and occupy the
country lying between the Blue Ridge
and the Alleghanies and beyond the
latter range of mountains a very
different sort of people had moved in
and taken possession. Among these
people, owing TO their habits and the
nature of their soil, slavery could take
no strong hold, hence they remained
democratic and distinct from their tide
water neighbors, as, indeed, they are
to this day.

conductor gives the penniless passen.
ger an envelope addressed to the office
of the company in which to forward
later the lacking nickel. This is done
as u matter of course. and only pas
senger who looks disreputable meets
with refusal. This system has been in
operation some time, which is apparent
proof that the passengers who thus get
trusted for their fares use the envelopes
given them for the purpose for which
they are intended.

THE SKIES IN MARCH.
Conjunction of Planets Practical
Use of Astronomy

Conjunction of Practical
Use of Astronomy.
The planet Venus which is still an
evening star will continue to act in
this capacity until about the last of
April. This beautiful planet, which
shines with light so splendid that
none can mistake her, can be seen
before the twilight has ceased to be
visible. And she will set about 9
O'Clock In the evening. Venus never
shines in the western horizon more
than three hours after sunset, nor
appears in the eastern horizon more
than three hours before sunrise.
Consequently any star or planet, no
ma tier how brilliant, which sets later
or rises earlier, cannot be Venus.
Owing to certain laws in optics,
Venus will be at her greatest brillian-
cy on the 21st Of this month.
The royal Jupiter, king of the
planetary host, now forms an object
in the heavens we'll worthy of atten-
ton. This largest of all the planets
can be seen just above the eastern
horizon as soon as the sun has set in
the distant west; and he continues to
shine with brilliant light nearly all
night, setting just before the sun
rises. The planet Mars, SO much like
our earth, sets between l and 2
O'Clock in the morning. While the
ringed planet S iturn rises soon after
IL O'Clock in the evening and shines
the balance of the night. Thus are
the nocturnal skies during March
particularly honored by the presence
of SO many bright planets.

however, having seam in the middle or
being cut whole, according to fancy. Re-
vers have disappeared to great extent, the
jacket buttoning up to the collar, which
to be fashionable must be high and flaring.
Sometimes it is turned down upon itself
in the form of seal laps, tabs or plain

sewed on the garment or may be cut in
one with it. Novelty demands that it shall
be lined with fur, mouflon, chinchilla, err

The sleeves are close to a point well
above the elbow, above which there is a
moderate fullness. When the sleeve is in
one piece-that is, without an outside seam
it is necessarily less tight than when 1t
is in two pieces. 1t is ornamented to match
the body of the jacket.
Straight sacks show the same effects in
collars and sleeves, although the latter are
sometimes loose, gathered into a deep cuff

corners of the yoke are bows of velvet fas-
tened by paste buckles. The sleeves have
cuffs of black velvet and are also orna-
mented with coquilles of the cloth. The

GIVE 1T TO US STRAIGHT.

The individual who should assert
that the English language is a sensi-
BILE article and good enough for all
purposes in any English speaking
community, would not, to any great
extent, be charged with insanity, and
yet In some quarters there seems to
exist an immense hankering for
opportunities to use foreign Ian
guages-not that they better express
the idea involved, but for the reason
that it is a popular fad.
If a person saunters into an eating
house or hotel he prefers to eat in the
English language. If he anticipates
taking dose of medicine he would
naturally choose that it be ordered
and put up in comprehensive Eng
lish that he may know just what it is
to cure-or to kill him. The masses
of the people cannot translate the
menu bills at many of the hotels, nor
the prescription which the physician
offers, and even the College graduate
after a few years removed from his
latin or Greek dictionary, is unable
to distinguish, with confidence, be-
tween the dishes served by foreign
bill of fare, which rs orders and par
takes at his personal risk, with the
same fearful premonitions of the
future which are suffered when he
carries the "R" hieroglyphics from
his doctor to the druggist.
The hotel man and physician have
the community at an advantage
when they furnish food or medicine
in a dialect composed of Hebrew abb
breviations and the Chinese alphabet
rather in the old English which ought

WHO WILL GUIDEHIM ?

"Fellow citizens: In obedience to
the will of the people and in their
presence by the authority vested in
me by this oath, assume the ardu
Gus and responsible duties of Presi-
dent of the United States, relying in
the support of my countrymen and
invoking the guidance of Almighty
God. Our faith teaches that there is
no safer reliance than upon the God
of our fathers, who has SO singularly
favored the American people on
every national trial, who will not
forsake us SO long as we obey His
commandments and walk humbly in
His footsteps"
So said Mr.. Mckinley in beginning
his inaugural address yesterday. 1t
is earnestly to he hoped that the
President will look only TO the good
Father for guidance, instead OF
listening to the advice of Mark
Hanna and his crowd.
McKinley's address in many re
spects is a good conservative one,
from his standpoint, and if his policy
can be carried out strickly, our
country will be in better condition
than it has for some time.
OF course this is not saying that
we agree with Mr.. Mckinley in all he
says.
