NEWSPAPERS IN SCOTLAND. HOTEL EMPLOYEES, j It la Sometimes * Very Difficult Mat ter to Buy One. Tlie American custom of glancing over the morning paper ns you sip your coffee at breakfast goes with you abroad, but It 1r no simple thing al- ways to get a morning paper. On com ing down to breakfast the first morning In Edinburgh, I found there was no paper to be had, but, thinking It was a simple matter to buy a Scotsman on the street, I went out ou Princes street nnd wnlked three blocks without the sight of a newsboy. “Where can I get the morning Scotsman?" I said to a policeman. Ho thought for a moment. “Weel,” snld he, “there’s a great news shop aboot three blocks up, and yc might find one there." I followed the direction and found myself lu a large news distributing depot. There wore 'stacks and stacks of newspapers and magazines all about. “I would like the morning’s Scotsman,” I said. The man 9 In charge looked bewildered. “I’ll see,” ® he Bald, "If we have one." He fumbled ’ around a little while, and then went back Into the rear of the store for fully three minutes. At last he came back, saying, “We haven't one." “Well," I said, "this Is about the strangest thing I have seen. Can’t get the morning pa per hete In Edinburgh.” “No," he said, “ye’ll find It dlffeecult" “What do they publish papers here for, anyway?” i rejoined. "Do they want to keep them out of the hands of the people? Don’t they want people to read them? Do they print papers to keep the news secret?” He bridled at once. “I want ye to understand,” he said, “that the Scotsman la not published for the general publeek; It's published for the subscreebers.” The Scotsman, you know, probably ranks next to the London Times. "Well,” I said, “thl# Is all new to me. In my country publishers want to have their newspapers read. They want to sell all they can. They don’t try to keep them out of the hands of the ‘gen eral publeek.' Can you tell me where I can get one, for I want to see the morning paper, though perhaps I shall have to get a letter of Introduction to buy oner “Weel,” he answered, “there’s a woman about a hundred yards from here that takes the Scots man. She might sell you hers.” I took the direction carefully, found the wo man who took tho Scotsman—she kept a thread and needle store—I bought her copy, and reached the hotel a half bour late for breakfast, which I had ordered before going out on the difficult quest of buying a morning paper In the great City of Edinburgh.—Boston Watchman. Wanes of Women Workers In ths Blit Hen York Establishments. Employees In tlic linen room receive $'.>0 n month, with room and board, and their hours arc well regulated, in most of the large hotels. The parlor maid or maids ervme next on tho salary list with $18, room and board, ami the tips often bring this sum up to $110 or oven $50. The maid’s duties are to keep the parlor swept nnd dusted and hcrsell' tidy and ready to attend the women guests who desire her services.

In fact, lier Ham let was so badly received lu Dublin tlint she there and then made up her mind never to play It again. And yet her Borneo was such a trl- umpu of acting that James Sheridan Knowles, the great dramatist and crit ic, was completely carried away by It. Of her acting of tho passage where Bo rneo flings himself upon the ground, taking the measure of an unmade every hotel employs a small army, re- <It was a scene of top- eelve $12 each. The work of the last two m08t P" 8 , 8 ™’ named Is distinctly different. A scrub ! no thing—real, palpably.real. The woman would not think of cleaning | ".!!?; paint, nnd n paint clcuucr would feel that she was demeaning herself lu scrubbing the floor. Throughout tho house the question of soclul distinction Is argued, the molds feeling above the bathroom girls, the parlor maid above the other maids and the linen room girls above the parlor maid, nnd so on. Human nature Is much the same the world over. In tho parlance of hotel employees, scrub women nre known us “soubrettes,” the chambermaids ns "the chorus,” while the parlor inulds are call ed ‘‘show girls." The "soubrettes" be gin their work at 1 o’clock In the morn ing and do not finish until about 5. They scrub tho floors and go through out the house with soap and hot water. In one big New York hotel the em ployees are permitted to enter the help’s dining hull at any time of the morning or afternoon between regular meals and have a cup of tea nnd a light lunch —a system which has much to do with tho contentment reigning among the employees of this establishment. The cost Is only a trifle, and, although the plan has been In operation for some time, those who enjoy Its advantages do not abuse It.—Leslie’s Weekly. HUMAN DISSECTION. BUSINESS SENSE. A All things come to him who doesn’t wait, but hustles. Too many clerks and not enough salesmen—that Is the cry. The sheriff Is always making googoo eyes at the store that doesn’t advertise. Besolye not to worry so much about your competitor. Take the lead for a change. Many succeed because they advertise correctly and ever so many fall because they don’t.

Draw your pay and quit.—Brains. Inrgen’ and the Anatuiulut* In the Olden Dnr», For n long time Alexandria was the only mcdlcul center of the world, and the physician Galen, born about 130 A. D., had to Journey from Borne to the African city even to sec n skeleton, He sent his students to tho German battlefields to dissect the bodies of tho antlonal enemies, while he himself used apes as most resembling human beings. Human dissection was revived In Bo- lognn In the fourteenth century, where Madonna Manzollna later was profess or of anatomy, undoubtedly one of the first women doctors, if not the very first. Leonardo da Vinci, pulnter of ‘‘The Last Supper,” was a great anat est fullness of fury, nnd I listened and guzed nnd held my breath, while my blood ran hot nnd cold. I am sure It must have been tho case with every one In tho house, hut I was all ab sorbed In Romeo till a thunder of ap plause recalled me to myself." And of her assumption of the difficult part of Claude Meluotte In “The Lady of Lyons" Justin McCarthy says: "I have seen Claude Melnotte played by many great actors, from Maerendy to Irving, but Miss Cuslimuti eclipsed them all. She created for me the only human, the only possible and the only endurable Claude Melnotte I have ever seen.” Miss Julia Seaman, a once popular actress, was so severely criticised when she played Hamlet some years ago that she turned round on her critics and as sailed them In a very vigorous manner. The late Miss Marriott, who had one of the most beautiful voices ever heard on any stage, was more fortunate, al though It was one of her least success ful assumptions, and In the fifties an American actress, Miss Percy Knowles, made such an unfortunate exhibition of herself as the melancholy one that a country manager actually Issued a no tice warning his patrons against going to see her. Ellen Tree (Mrs. Charles Kean) was the first to put on Hamlet's doublet and hose; Mrs. Glover won Edmund Kean’s approval by her playing of the part, and Mme. Sarah Bernhardt gave a picturesque nnd clever rendering of Hamlet, although It was not to bo com pared with many of her brilliant as sumptions. Churlotto Crnmpton was noted for her clever acting of masculine parts, which would have been even more con vincing If she had not been such a tiny woman. ‘‘There Is a woman," Mac- ready once said, referring to her, "who would startle the world If she were but two Inches taller." She was such a magnificent swordswoman that fow men cared to try their skill against her like a window blind. “When you go on board a proa you go over the bow, that being close to (he water's edge, the stern being away up In tho air.

In the garden adjoining bis bouse at Youghal, Raleigh planted the first po tatoes ever grown In Ireland. The veg etable was brought to him from the little colony which he entBAvored to establish in Virginia. The colonists started In April, 1585, and Thomas Harriot, one of their number, wrote a description of the country In 1587. He describes a root which must have been the potato: ‘‘Openank are a kind of roots of round form, some of the blgnesse of walnuts, some farre greater, which are found in moist & marlsh grounds grow ing many together one by another In ropei as though they were fastened wltMl»strlng.
