THE THRIFTY SCOT.
Superior in Earning Power to English
men or Irish.

From the London News
The superiority Of the Scots over the in
habitants Of the southern kingdom which
they annexed when their King Jamie be-
came monarch Of the whole island is a
dogma which there Is no dsputing-across
the Tweed. 1t may be interesting to the
mere Englishman to know the counts on
winch he is beaten by the Scotsman. A
writer In the Peoples Friend has gone to
the trouble of cataloguing the matters in
which Scotsmen are at the top, and here
they are:
The Scotsman earns more than either
the Engiishman or Irishman. The Scots
man earns on the average s45 year, the
Englishman 9sS. and the Irishman f2O.

upkeep OF police. roads. bridges. harbors,
education. ETC., while the Englishman and
Irlshman contribute f2 1885, and fl As. re-

THE LARGEST HARVESTER.

FOR TEN ER FEET
RELIEF MAY BE HAD IN A
SIMPLE MANNER.
A Physician Recommends the Aban-
Substitution Of White

In a fashionable uptown cafe this morn
ing a gentleman in homespun and patent
leather Oxfords appeared unhappy.
What is the matter with you?" asked a
friend. You appear Ill.,
II have bad attack of feet, and each
summer am worse"
What's 'feet?' -
Something that puts rheumatism out of
business" explained the young man. II
buy spider-web open-work black Isle hose,
costing 81 a pair, wear low shoes, use
faithfully all sorts Of foot powders and To-
tions, but obtain only temporary relief. My
feet burn and swell so>much that walking
is a torture and life burden
There are so many people like you," re-
marked the third man. a well-known Wash
ington physician. that anything which
will tend to alleviate their suffering ought
to be received as public benefit. You and
the thousands like you may be relieved and
without medicine.
First abandon black hose Cotton and
Isle thread black hose, 1t matters not how
thin, delicate or open. bind the feet and
cause them to burn and swell, the black dye
exerting peculiar combination with the
hard thread Isle which is simply ruin to
tender feet. Substitute thin unbleached
balbriggan. The relief is almost instanta-
neous. You can buy hose with all white
feet, or half white feet called splits or, IL
white or balbriggan hose to the dyer and
have them dyed at the tops to suit your
taste. but the all balbriggan is better.
Men who have tender feet think that the
thinner they can get their Isle thread hose
the more relief they will experience. but
this is an error. as the feet will burn like
a furnace even in black open work Isle
gauZe. While black Is the fashionable color
you can afford to discard your low shoes
and wear thin bafbriggan with high shoes
If you have not the courage to sacrifice
style for comfort.
Ladies can attain the same result if they
will cut the white feet off hose Of that color
and sew them to the tops Of the fashionable
black hose which are worn. When you
hear a man say that he has spent hun
dreds of dollars on his feet and obtained no
relief. tell him what I have told you, and
he will get reasonably well for nothing. All
new cotton undergarments, including hose,
should first be washed before worn. The
manufa cturer's sizing is washed out, and
they feel much more comfortable.
Feet is a complaint which is really Sc
rious to the patient and by none other ap-
preciated. To obtain more than temporary
relief the black hose must go on the part
of those thus afflicted"

VOLTAGE OF LIGHTNING.
One Bolt Contains Extraordinary Car
rying Power.
he RrOoklrn

Few people have any underst anding OF
the disruptfve power OF a severe bolt Of
lightning. The figures quoted convey little.
even when one is told that at the present
time the limit Of carrying power of an
electric plant is electricity at 10000 volts.
one-tenth Of that of a heavy lightning bolt.
Perhaps a truer conception is to be gained
from the story of an old Long Island resi-
dent, who admits being very fond of squir-
rel hunting, and says: ''In a piece of clear
woods near where lived several years ago
was an enormous white oak tree four feet
through at the stump. and spreading over
half an acre Of ground. Under certain con-
ditions l could always count on finding a
fox squirrel in that tree, and 1 knew every
limb of 1t.
"One morning after tremendous thun-
der storm. in which We all had noticed a
mighty thunder bolt, / visited this tree.
Only pile Of broken brushwood and thou
sands Of little splinters scattered all over
the ground for the distance of several hun
drcd feet all around marked where this
giant Of the forest had stood. Some ex-
plosive effect had torn the roots out until
there was a hole in the ground eight feet
deep and ten feet across.
THAT one bolt of electricity had torn that
tree to pieces in a way that ten woodmen
working an entire week could not have ac-
complished."

THE MEERscHAuM INDUSTRY.
Where in Turkey the Mines Are Lo-
Gated.

From the Scientific American.
The British foreign office has issued
report upon the meerschaum mining in
dustry of Constantinople. This product.
which is extensively utilized for the manu-
facture of pipes, is almost entirely con-
fined to Turkey. The meerschaum can be
mined by any person at Sari-sou, Sepetdje.
Gheikli and Menlou on payment of five
pias to the administration of mines-the
cost of permit. The mines of Sari-sou
are situated at a distance of about seven
teen miles to the east OF Eskichehir. The
pit at Sari-sou was opened twenty years
ago, but today there are 5000 mines opened.
of which, however. only 1000 are worked.
the remainder having been abandoned.
Some 1900 miners work these mines. and
every Friday a market Is held at which
they dispose OF the blocks OF meerschaum
they have extracted during the week For
the accommodation OF the workmen some
600 huts have been erected.
At Sepetdje, about eighteen miles to the
northeast OF Eskichehir. there are some
only $50 are worked, all the others being
exhausted. 1t is said that these mines
were opened loo years ago. which 10 not
incredible. as II is well known that mag
nesia was formerly used for many pur-
poses other than the fabrication OF pipes:
moreover, Fuiier's earth used to be worked
on a vast scale by the ancients. The meer-

miners. who live In the surrounding Wiz

Rhymeless Words.
From the London Chronicle.

Orange" Is another of the rhymeless
words which have puzzled versifiers But
several correspondents have been able to
supply the lack. together with the rhyme
to month" which lacked a letter when we
quoted itsthe other day. A well-known ex-
pert In Hindu gods thinks the verse was
brought forth by Sheridan to win bet on
couple Of difficult rhymes. The stanza,
remembered vaguely by many, Is yariously
given. Here Is specimen:
From the Ganges to the Blorenge
Game the Rajah In q month,
Sucking now and then an orange
Reading all the way his Grunth.
The Blorenge Is a range Of hills in Wales,
and the Grunth is sacred book of the

not rhyme, as the ''h' Is silent the word
