NEWSPAPERS IN SCOTLAND.

Tlio Aincrlciui custom of glancing
over the morning pnjer as you Hip your
cofTco at breakfast goes with you
abroad, but it Ih no simple thing nl
wayn to get a morning paper. On com
ing down to breakfast the llrst morning
In Edinburgh, 1 found there was no
paper to bo had, but, thinking It was a
simple matter to buy a Scotsman on
the Htrcct, I went out on Princes street
and walked three blocks without tho
sight of a newsboy. "Where can I get
tbo morning Scotsmnn?" I said to n
policeman. He thought for n moment.
"Wool," said he, "there's n great news
shop about three blocks up, and yc
might llnd one there." I followed tho
direction and found myself In a large
news distributing depot. There were
stacks nnd stneks of newspapers and
magazines all about. "I would like tbo
morning's Scotsman," I said. The mnn
In charge looked bewildered. "I'll see,"
be said, "If we have one." lie fumbled
around a littlo while, nnd then went
bnck Into the renr 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 here In Edinburgh." "No," he said,
"ye'll llnd It illfTeecult." "Whnt do
they publish papers here for, anywny?"
I rejoined. "Do they want to keep
them out of tho hands of the people?
Don't they wnnt people to read them?
Do they print papers to keep tho news
secret 1" lie bridled at once. "I want
ye to understand," ho said, "that tbo
Scotsman Is not published for tbo
. general publeek; It's published for tbo
BUbscreebers."
The Scotsman, you know, probably
ranks next to the London Times.
"Well," I said, "this Is nil new to me.
In my country publishers want to have
their newspapers read. Thoy wnnt 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 wnnt to see tbo
morning paper, though perhaps I shall
have to get a letter of Introduction to
buy one?" "Wool," he answered,
"there's a womnn about n hundred
yards from hero that takes tlc Scots
man. Sho might soil you hers." I took
the direction carefully, found tho wo
man who took the Scotsman sho kept
n thread nnd needle store I bought her
copy, and reached the hotel a half hour
late for breakfast, which I had ordered
before going out on tho dlfllcult quest
of buying n morning paper in tho great
city of Edinburgh. Boston Watchman.
BU'SINESS SENSE.
All thing como to hlni who doesn't
wait, but hustles.
Too many clerks and not enough
salesmen that is tho cry.
Tho sheriff Is always making googoo

Itesolvc. not to worry ho much about
your competitor. Take iho lead for n

Many succeed because they advcrtlso
correctly and over so many fall becauso
they don't.
If you ucver do moro than you aro

more than you do.
If you havo no confldeneo In your cm.

Fli-nt Vue of I'otiltnt-N In Ireland.
In the garden adjoining his house at
Youghal, Halelgh planted the llrst po
tatoes over grown In Ireland. The veg
etable was brought to him from the
little colony which ho endeavored to
establish In Virginia. The colonists
started In April, 1CS5, and Thomas
Harriot, ono of their number, wrote n
description of the country in 15S7. Ho
describes a root which must havo
been tbo potato:
"Openank nro a kind of roots of
round form, some of the blgueoso of
walnuts, some farro greater, which aro
found In moist & mniisli grounds grow
ing many together ono by another In
ropes, as though they wero fastened
with n string. Being boiled they nro
very good meat."

to Europe, but Raleigh was undoubted

SNAKE DIVINITIES.

Serpent worship and tho propitiation
of snake divinities, which once spread
all over Asia, still maintain a tena
clous hold on the littlo native states of
Cochin nnd Travancore,.on the south
west coast of lndln. Hero Hindoos
high and low revere tho cobra ns tliey
did n thousand years ago, nnd It U con
sldcred n heinous crime' to Injure tho
reptile or neglect Its Interests.
In the district of Trnvancore nlono
there arc between 15.000 and 20,000
shrines dedicated exclusively to the
worship of snakes which possess ex
tensive nnd valuable properties for
their maintenance and for the cost of
the ceremonies which the keepers havo
to perform from time to time.
In these shrines the Hindoos net down
fantastic Idols of sonant on n stono
bnse, and the shrine Is protected by a
mud wall. Householders to assure their
welfare should make offering of
dough, milk and cooked rice to the ser
pertlne habitues of the shrine and
placo lights and chant hymns la order
to be assured of their favor.
Every morning tbo king and queen of
tho serpents are bathed, and fruit and
milk are offered to them, to bo followed
at noon by cooked rice and fried grain.
On certain days tho Idols la grove and
household temple aro carried In pro
cession to the bouse, where propltla
tary offerings are made? The presiding
functionary must be the eldest female
member of tho family, who has to prac
tice celibacy from tho day she nttalns
the position.
At famous snake festivals at Tr.ivnn

ceremonies nro conducted with rever
ence the largest cobras of the grove
will come out and show themselves to
the members of the house. The nn
tlves also believe that snake bites In
the neighborhood of these shrines nev
er prGvo fatal. Bo that as It may.
deaths from snake bites are very rare,
though many groves contain as many
as thirty cobras and tho shrines In Trn
vancore number between fifteen nnd
twenty thousnnd.
The snakes of India are rarely ag
