CONSCIENCE OF THE SCOTCH
on Sunday Finally Overcame
Sandy's ScrupIes.

A couple Of tourists staying at 9
village which is in close proximity to
a we'll known Scottish loch had fancy
one fine Sunday to go for row on the
loch. They accordingly sailed forth
in search of the boatman, whom they
met just leaving his house dressed in
his Sunday best and carrying a Bible
under his arm
I'VE want to go for a row." said one
of the tourists.
"Dae We no ken it's the Sawbath?"
answered Sandy; 'yell no get boat
frae me the day, forbye I'll haze We tae
ken that | am an elder o. the kirk"
"Yes, yes" expostulated the tour
lists, that's all very well for you, but
we don't require you with us. You
can go to church; We can row our
selves
"Ay, ay," said the elder, but jist
think whit the meenister'll say
Never mind the minister" was
the reply; "he will know nothing about
it. We will pay you WELL"
"Ah, weel,' said Sandy, "Pll no lei

among the PUSHES? Weel, she's ready
WI the oars inside. Jist We gang

Graceful East Indians.

Describing the women OF India, 9
writer says: Even the most withered
toil-worn bag has dignity OF carriage
and a grace of motion that the west
ern woman might envy. The 'sari' Is
draped in an easy flowing style and
adjusted as 1t slips back with grace
full turn of the silver bangled arm
the skinny legs move rythmically, and
the small feet fall with silent and
pantherlike tread. 1t Is the beauty
of natural and untrammeled motion
and says much in favor OF the aboli
ton of the corset, for the Indian wo
men retain their uprightness and sup
pleness of figure till bowed with age
1.-The commonest type is the coolit
woman, who undertakes all sorts OF
rough work, carrying heavy burdens
on her head, and she Is, perhaps, the
least attractive, for her workaday
garments are usually faded and dirty;
yet, even among this poor class OF
burden bearers, we see many with
handsome straight features and supple
well proportional figures.
mo matter how poor their gar
ments, jewelry of some sort is worn;
necklaces of gold or beads, colored
glass or silver bangles and heavy sill.

ONE TRICK OF THE TRADE
Old Meat Dealers Method Of Getting
a Reputation for Giving Very
Good Weight.

The very latest trick of the trade
was taught to the young butcher by
the marketman who gave him his first
employment The old dealer pointed
to trays of beef, lamb and pork trim
mings beneath the counter
when customers ask to have all
the waste that has been cut from their
own meat wrapped up with their or
der be sure to put in a few of these
trimmings BESIDES" he said. Most al
ways they want the scraps sent home
so they can weigh the whole business
and find out whether they are getting
full weight or not. Enough extra
pieces to tip the scales half an ounce
beyond the supposed weight won't
hurt anybody and will give us good
name"
Shortly after that the new clerk
heard one frugal housewife say to an
other: ooh, why don't you trade at
Blanks? He gives such good measure;
often almost an ounce more than you
pay for
The clerk smiled.

New Thoreau.

Frank 8. Black, former governor OF
New York, has proposed pleasing
system Of philosophy.
Men sit at their DESKS" says Mr..
Black, "and year after year trade their
vitality for money they do not need"
He says that after certain point
time. not money, is what should be
sought. A man who continues to work
beyond that point trades his vitality
for money with no possible prospect Of
adequate recompense.
SO. at So, In perfect health and with
the prospect of many years Of remu-
nerative activity ahead Of him, Mr..
Black has decided TO stop working. He
has all the money he needs. He is de-
termined to do now only the things he
wishes to do.
Out In the country. on a farm, Mr..
Black expects to spend the rest Of
his life. He looks upon this as le-
getimate reward for years of work, a
reward he would be foolish not to
take. He hopes to dismiss every ma
terial care as finally did Thoreau at
Walden. Simplicity, ease and rest are
what he now claims from life.

Henry w. Paine. the eminent Bos-
ton lawyer, once went to one OF the
interior towns of Maine, where q boy
was on trial for arson. He had no
counsel. and Mr.. Paine was assigned
by the court to take charge OF his
case. He discovered, after brief in
terview with the boy. that he was
half-witted. The jury. however, was
composed of farmers who owned
barns such as the defendant was al
legged to have set on fire, and, in spite
Of the boys evident weakness of in
tellect. they brought In a verdict Of
guilty. The presiding Judge turned to
Mr.. Paine. and remarked: "Have you
any motion to maker" Mr.. Paine arose
and, in his dry and weighty manner,
answered: mo. your honor; believe
I have secured for this idiot boy all
that the laws Of Maine and the consti-
tuition of the United States allow
trial Of hiHpeers."

( L. S. IN THE ACKNOWLEDGES
Stevenson, While Fighting Of Dis
ease There, Seemed Indifferent
to the Laws Of Health.

Robert Louis Stevenson. for so wise
q man, seems to have been singularly
unaware of, or Indifferent to, the laws
of health, but that, too, may have
been part of his wisdom. He spent
the winter of 1887 in the Adirondacks
struggling against the disease which
was not to subdue him for seven
years He lived In little cottage that
was much overheated and from which
all ventilation was carefully excluded.
The smoke OF his incessant cigarettes
ohscured the atmosphere and perhaps
helped to drive away the visitors who
came to gaze upon him as one gazes
at lion In a den. Fashionable call
ers were specially unwelcome and
Stevenson once remarked, according
to an account in the Medical Record,
that ,"it isn't the great unwashed
which I dread, but the great washed"
But whoever else was unwelcome
there was always a greeting for Rich
ard Mansfield. 1t is an impressive, al
most q tremendous picture, that OF the
elouded room fitfully lit by the flames
OF the log fire and Stevenson huddled
close to the warmth while Mansfield
at the other end Of the rooom gave his
weird impersonation of DIR. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde. It must have been like
God looking upon his handiwork and
finding It good.

Authors and Their Books.

At the dinner given by the Harper
people to Arnold Bennett just before
he sailed for England, a dinner which
was attended by many of the literary
lights that live in or near New York,
q discussion came UP as to whether
in this day of the rapid output OF lit
erature man could live by his books
Mr.. Bennett said he was sure that
many authors could, and he instanced
the case of a young author he knew
in London who was so hard up that
he could not get enough cash to pay
for his dinner.
An idea struck him. He visited his
publishers and there asked for six
copies of his latest novel; which was
priced at five shillings, ordering that
the books be charged to his account.
This was done. With the volumes
under his arm he visited second
hand book dealer in the neighbor-
hood, and, as the books were perfect
ly new, he managed to sell the six
of them for ten shillings, with which
sum he had a rafting good dinner
and an evening at the theater.
"Oh, yes" said Mr. Bennett, "even
the humblest author can live by his
books-if he has published any
books"

BACHELORS PAID A PENALTY
single Dissssdnsss Was consldsrsd IN
ofFenss In the Old Greek
state Of Sparta.

Men were FIRST allowed some free
dom not to marry. but this was grudg-
ingly given. and with many penalties
for the idiosyncrasy. In Sparta, We
are told, bachelors were under ban.
disfranchised by law. excluded from
witnessing the great public process
sions which were tho pride Of the
state; and in winter time compelled
to march naked around the market
place, singing. as they went, a song
testifying to their own disgrace by
which they Justly suffered punish
ment."
And in this land. so insistent In all
other respects upon reverence for the
aged. there was one exception-a
youth might refuse. and without re-
proof. TO rise and give a seat to a
venerable bachelor. even to one who
had done honorable service for the
state, saying:
mo son OF yours will ever rise to
give me seat"
This punishment Of the bachelor
has been common In many ages and
countries, and extended down to the
early days of our own history. In
Connecticut, In 1886, a law was passed
which would not "allow any young I'M
married man to keep house." and
Hartford taxed lone men twenty
shillings a week" for the Selfish lux
ury of solitary living" In 1862 spe-
cial town order gave permission for
two bachelors to keep house together,
$50 they carry themselves soberly and
do not entertain idle persons to the
evil expense of time by day or night"
while as late as the eighteenth CEN
fury a general statute of Connecticut
forbade any householder" under PEN
atty of fine, to give entertainment or
habitation to single persons without
special allowance Of the selectmen."

HOW BIRDS CHANGE PLUMAGE
Prof. Joseph erlnneil Makes Some In
terestlnc Discoveries N'h'c'' Arree
Not With Common BELIEF.

1t has been generally believed that
the brilliant plumage exhibited by the
males OF many species Of birds during
spring-that is. during the mating sea-
sons directly connected with the
physiological condition of the birds at
this time, and various theories have
been formulated to account for the
facts. Prof. joseph Grinnell has found
in the Californian linnet some facts
that do net agree with the common
belief. In this bird the male presents
a brilliant red breast and neck during
the mating season. whereas in the au-
tumn and winter the feathers have a
dull grayish coloring, with mere
suggestion Of pink But the bird does
not moult (change its feathers) in
the spring, nor is there new pigment
formed in the feathers. BY collecting
a series Of feathers from August, when
the bird does mohlt, to the following
spring. and examining these care
fully, 1t was found that In the new
feathers the brilliant red Is confined
to narrow band. which is overlapped
by the edge of the adjacent feathers.
The overlapping portions are white
and brittle. During the winter these
delicate portions are rubbed off and
lost. SO that when the mating season
arrives the bird has its brilliant coat.
Mr.. Grinnell emphasizes especially the
fact that this brilliant coloring is ac-
tually produced in the autumn, after
the mating season. at a time of the
year when the vitality of the birds is
supposed to be at it's lowest ebb
