A Full Description of Edinburgh.
Chicago, Aug. 27,1891.
Landing in Edinburgh, of course, the
first objects of interest to a Yankee are
Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace.
The old castle is now garrisoned by four
or -five hundred Highlanders; short
kilts, bare legs and all. I made the
acquaintance of one, and got him to
show me through the castle, remarking
as he led the way, that in my opinion,
the Highlandman's dress was ill suited
to frosty weather; an opinion in which
my conductor seemed to concur, as I
afterwards learned. His reply was,
"shure bare legs and short kilts was
nae sae warrum aft" a winter's night an
the cault wind frae oe yon forth and
the brases of the East an a mon hae to
keep it guard on yon wall." I told him
that I hadn't a doubt about it, and
afterwards figured it out that he was
apostrophizing the cold winter's wind
from the Firth of Forth and the hills
to the East.
Perched high upon the natural rock,
which on three sides rises straight up
two or three hundred feet, the old castle has successfully withstood hundreds
of seiges,and that greater leveler of the
works of man, the corroding elements
in the grind of time through the rolling away of upwards of a thousand
years. It has seen the history of Scotland commencing with the defeat of its

COUNTRY CIRLS IN THE CITY.
They took for Social lite  Which They
Can Rest Enjoy at Home,
"I have heard country girls talk of
coming to the city for employment,"
says a lady writer in the Cincinnati
Commercial-Gazette, "and they have
given as one reason that they wanted
more social life. Well, that is just
what they will not get. The woman
of business is not a woman of leisure,
and she has no time for society. She
will And more social life in her own
home, even if she be a worker, than she
could ever have in the city, and there
is no lonesomeness more absolute than
the loneliness of a stranger in a crowd.
Salaries are not large enough to permit of such relaxation in the way of recreation, and after the day's work is
over is too tired to go in search of enjoyment.
"In the country home, in these days,
the daily papers a.nd magazines come,
so that one may keep in touch with
the world, even if she be at one side of
the bustle and confusion of city life.
The fashion article tells her how to
dress her hair and make her gown;
gives her the latest notion in small
toilet details. Few towns are so small
that they have no public library, where
all the new books come; and the lecture
and concert are not infrequent in
visits. Railways and telegraphs have
brought the corners of the earth together, so that one is never far from
the center of things. There is occupation, too, for the girls who stay at
home, and particularly those who stay
in the country. Do not throng to the
cities in search of employment, for you
will be doomed to disappointment."

of Palestine, eight hundred years
ago- Here within its gloomy walls,
upwards of three hundred years ago,
Mary, Queen of Scots, gave birth to
James VI of Scotland, who afterwards
became James I of England, Scotland
and Ireland. Hence it is not strange
that one upon entering has the sensation of being in another world and age.
The crown jewels of Scotland are still
preserved here asd to my inexperienced
e\, e, appeared to bo worth sufficient to
pay p,lf the national debt. Gazing on
the Jewel weighted crown, it occured
to me that the composer of the lines
''Uneasy rests the head that wears a
crown," knew precisely what he was
talking about. My conductor evidently
had less, poetic thoughts on the subject,
for- upon lny causually remarking that
I would not relish a night cap of that
kind myself j he laconicly replied "tha
price tilt wald breeug muckle tie fair
gilla the cratur to tickle the thrapple
abunethe nicht and sure twad be a
clear daft carle to speer for a nicht cep
maier fair thot." He got a shilling
which was doubtless judiciously invested to "tickle the thrapple abune the
nicht" with the greatest possible dispatch, eonsistant with the least possible
contraction of working capital,
I went to the outer walls and looked
down a sheer descend of a couple hundred feet, and the thought occurred to
.me what a rare place it would be to
setileSjan account with an euemy; to
take him up here and drop him over
would certainly be effective. Recalling
to mind the stories I have heard concerning the enchant some crazy folks
have for enticing people to the top of
high buildings and then playfully tossing them over the cornice, I eyed my
guide askance and went away. I wasn't
afraid, but, nevertheless, went away as
I was no longer interested.
The entrance is on the eastern side,
and is approached by a steep incline
and is protected by a narrow bridge
crossing a deep cut in the natural rock.
There are also the outer, middle and
inner gates, each of which is protected
by eannou so placed in the sharp angles
of the wall as to command the narrowap-
proaches. The walls of the castle itself
are mounted with a number of cannon,so
as to command the principal streets of
the city. A beautiful park now flourishes
in the former castle moat Rareplants,
trees aud graveled walks occupy the
space once devoted to stagnant slime-
covered water. The main entrance to
this park, which, of course, is considerably below street level, is embellished
with probably one of the handsomest
monuments in the world, that of Sir
Walter Scott.

There was a separate ward in the
jail for the female prisoners, and
though female prisoners are usually
fewinnumber.it generally happens
that some of them are very bad and
unmanageable. It was not easy to devise a system of rewards or punishments for these women. They were
required to spin thread, or to clean
eotton, which were probably their
ordinary avocations in their own
homes. If they behaved well some indulgence could" be contrived for them,
such as to let them dress their hair according to their own fancy, instead of
wearing it plain or cut short. It was
amusing to see the wonderful plaits
and structures they made with their
long and thick hair. Another indulgence was to let a woman cook her own
food,instead of having to take her portion cooked by the mess cook. When
these indulgences had been granted,
the withdrawal of them served as a
punishment for misbehavior. Fortunately the majority were quietthough
guilty creatures, who had taken the
life of a child or a grown-up person in
some moment of passion or jealousy,
but had seldom been out »f the precincts of the zenana.
There were, however, some who had
been bad, and had led a vicious life
before they came to jail, and they gave
every possible trouble to the jailer and
his guards. Their command of abusive
and vile language was incredible.
There was one who was preeminently
mischievous and fractious. One day
when she and her companions were
taken out to bathe as usual in the jail
tank (a large reservoir, about one hundred yards square) just outside the
jail wall, this young lady swam out into the middle of the tank and defied
the jailor for hours. Of course her
bathing in the tank was stopped for a
time, but at last she proposed to the
jailer to Juive fetters put on her leg. so
that she could not swim if taken out to
bathe. The jailer kindly consented to
gratify her whim; but -no soouer had
she reached the water than she struck
out boldly swimming, and then pretended to be drowning from the weight
of the fetters. The jailer was terrified,
and came rushing to me for orders. I
went to the side of the tank aud saw
the lady plunging about like a young
porpoise, and setting us all at deliance.
A fisherman's canoe was brought, aud
the woman was eventually hunted to
the shore, not without making several
atlenipts to upset the. boat. A great
crowd had assembled while her performance was going on. and although
she had at last to submit to capture, I
think that she certainly had the best of
the day's * amusement.—The Rational

P. P. MAST & CO.'S TRAIN.
Description of the "Great Train which will
Leave for the "West July 4th.
(From the Springfield, Ohio Daily Republic-Times, June 23, 1891.)
At S o'clock on the morning of the
Fourth of July a remarkabl e tran will
•leave the Arcade depot over te Big
Four, the I., I. & I., aud Santa Fe routes
for Kansas City and the Great West.
It will consist of forty cars, all exactly
alike in size and color, each of a carrying capacity of 60.000. lbs. loaded with
BUCKEYE LOW DOWN 1HUIXS
of all styles and sizes, over 1,000 in
nuuibtr. including pin hoe drills.sprinj;
hoe drills and shoe drills of from eight
to twenty-four shoes or hoes, some
with press wheels and some without,
anil rigged for from two to six horses;
and including quite a large lot of the
combined grain aud grass feed fertilizer
drills, which the people of Kansas are.
bi'ginniug to call for, and which have
for years been used in the East.
This will be the largest shinment of
drills ever sent out by any factory, and
will be greater than the entire produet
of some good-sized factories. Some
idea of its magnitude may be gathered
from the tacts that the weight of the
drills will be about 1.450,000 pounds,
their value, at wholesale, between 880.-
000 and S90.000. am! the freight charges
between 89,000 and S10.000.
Each car will be elaborately decorated with banners, flags, and bunting and
will be made otherwise attractive.
A special feature of the train will be
TWO ADVERTISING OAUS
One, an open platform car on  which
will be a pair of handsome dapple-grev
horses loi hands high, harnessed   to a
Buckeye Low Down Shoe Drill,  and at!
all stops the people will be jnveu   an J
opportunity to examine the  drill,  and.]
by competent attendant, will be shown '
the advan5age#s of the low-down principle, the four wheels, the> limber tongue and the single lever. Both the
ear and the horses will be decorated
and will make au exhibit worth going
miles to see.
From the,othcr advertising car. which
will be the last in the train, will be distributed, very  liberally,  in  the towns
en route, souvenirs of the  great ship
merit in the form of an elegant,.specia-
ly imported picture cards eommeiuor
ative of the occasion; also other adver
tising novellies'in useful and attractive
forms.    The train >vili not  be run  at
night in order that all towns  may  be
passed in daylight.
The drills in this are sold to dealers
in Kansas ami \V.est«rn Missouri, and,
with the exception of a few ear loads,
which will be set out at different points
in Missouri, the solid train will be run
through to Kansas City, where.it will
be divided, and each car fordwarded to
its destination.
This shipment is the opening of' the
season, only a starter ■for the tremendous fall trade which is already assured
and another large shipment will soon
follow to St. Louis, to supply the trade
tributary to that point ^in^Southern IH
inois and Eastern Missouri. Still another will soon be started for Texas,
and later on another for Kansas and
Western Missouri, as .this lot does not
fill nearly all the orders from that see-
'iion. and many car loads are not to be
shipped nn}il Aug. 1st to 15th, or later.
This shipment clearly breaks fhe
record in the drill business, and shows
the popularity of the Buckeye Low
Down Drills throughout the West.
