A Trivial Pastime Popular Among Lam

''coddam'' or Tip it,

quently in substantial sums. Indeed,
says London Answers, there is recog-
nized champion player of tip it," who
is open to back himself for e 25 to click
creation
And this is how it is played: The
rival players take a button, or some
small article, and sit on opposite sides
of a table. The beginner puts his
hands under the table, and, taking the
button in one of them, raises his closed
fists into view, and the business OF the
other is to say in which hand the button
is held. The button changes sides as ii
is found. and the game goes on until the
points are reached.
It is often played with two or four
side. and the champion will meet
dozen at a time, and discover the hand
holding the button by sort of instinct
The position of the thumbs decides
whether the game is ''coddam" or tip
it, On this trivial pastime hundreds
of pounds change hands every year in
some parts of Lancashire.

Rescue Two of Their Kind That Were in
Distress.
One of the most peculiar incidents

CURED in Rutlandshire recently, the
facts of which, says Parsons, are as
follows: Squire X is one of the
best known characters in that part of
the country. \ few days ago he missed
two of his best sporting dogs, and his
general supposition was that they had
been stolen. Recently, however. he
was surprised to see one of his pets
walk into the house, followed a min
ute later by the other, both wearing
the appearance of utter destitution.
Invest igation revealed the following
facts: While out shooting a neighbor
came across "a broken bank on his es-
state, and two of his dogs showed I'M
easiness at a hole in the ground. Moth
ing he could do would induce the dogs
to leave the spot, and he finally Sc
cured n spade and began digging for
the cause of the trouble. Eight feet
OF earth was dug away before the truth
was out. Then he discovered the two
dogs, evideI- tIy buried from their own
exertions in endeavoring to chase a
rabbit
They had been there for 10 days and
were nearly famished. On their re
turn to the squire's house they were
followed by the animals who had res
cued them, and prompt treatment

either as regards male or female dress
or adornment. Saving only for his
firearms, there is no reason TO believe
that the Bodouin OF the desert does not
clothe and adorn himself exactly as he
did in the days of the Patriarchs, and
the women wear their ornaments in the
nineteenth century of the same shape
and in the same style as Sarah and Re
becca did. Among articles of western
costume. the two oldest are probably
the Highland kilt and the smock-frock
of the west country English laborer. 1t
is not probable that either of them
has altered much for 1000 years. The
smock-frock was the peasant dress in
early Saxon times, and the kilt would
seem to be a Development of the kirtle
or fringed girdle, which was probably
the earliest garment worn by man.

them. If Congress did not act Butler
said he would advise The stats of North
Carolina to exercise it's constitutional

other states would adopt the same
course. The naval appropriation bil!

How 1t Looks to the People of the Diff

How 1t Looks to the People of the DIFF
ferent Planets.
The people of Neptune are often in
doubt as to whether or not the sun is
shining They are so far away from
the great central orb that it is mere
speck in the sky which only men with
good eyesight can see. Plenty of plan
cts that are swinging about in the heav-
ems look bigger than the sun to the peo-
pie of Neptune. Those on Uranus are
little better off.
Upon Mercury, on the other hand,
the sun comes up like an immense new
moon, and it burns with an intense
glare, and is so hot that the people there
can cook their breakfast by the light of
the morning sun. When the sun sets
on Mercury it is like large part of the
heavens dropping out of sight, and a
cold breeze Immediately springs up.
Even on Venus the sun looks so big as to
scare an inhabitant of the earth could
he be transported to that planet.
From Mars it looks a good deal
smaller than it does from the earth, but
year on Mars is equal to two years on
the earth. Another curious thing
about Mars is that it has two moons, re-
volving in different directions. One of
these little moons is hardly bigger in
the sky than good-sized cheese, but
it flies through space with the speed of
a cannon ball. This little moon goes
skimming close to the surface of Mars.
and the people there, with their long
distance guns, could easily shoot up and
hit it.
They have to look sharp on Mars to
see this little moon, which comes noise
1essly from one direction and disap-
pears around the corner in another, re-
