CARTS IN SCOTLAND.

many parts Of the lOwlands they were
not in ordinary use, even till 1860,
while in the northern districts sledges

In the drlest weather the roads were
unfit for carriages and in wet weather
almost impossible, even for horses

In Washington not long ago Andrew
Carnegie was in conversation with Il
friend when reference was made To the
servant problem" MIR. Carnegie men
toned the fact that in many scottish
families the old man-seryant is something
of an institution. Such a servant usually
enters the employ of a particular family
when he is a boy adncrcs faithfully to
his place for a long time and resigns
only when the inhrmites Of years crowd
upon him.
As illustrating the sturdy Independence
of the Scottish servant Mr., Carnegie told
the following;
"A certain lady in the north of SCOT
land had in her employ crusty old sorvi-
tor long in the service OF her family,
who gave her no end of annoyance by an
impcrious disregard of her instructions,
At length, the situation becoming unbcar-
able the mistress determined tn see what
effect dismissal would have upon the re-
fractory servant Accordingly she sum
moned him and said:
Really, | can stand this no longer.
You must seek another place At tho
end OF the month YOU leave my service.
AT these words an expression of grim
amusement spread over the countenancc
of the servant, but the characteristic
loyalty asserted itself,
