ou,Int rneIish Customs.

There Is scarcely a manor in England
where some queer old custom dating
back TO the feudal times does not sur
vive, recalling the former prestige and
glory OF the lords OF the manor
Thus at Broughton, on each Palm Sun
day since time immemorial, the SO
called "gad whip" immortal service
takes place. The lord Of the manor,
leaving his pew In the chancel, advances
TO the steps thereof and cracks heavy
carriage whip three times, while the
rector Is reading the first lesson. Al
the beginning OF the second lesson nc
approaches the parson with the whip in
his hand and a purse with gold pieces
tied to the end OF the lash. This he
waves thrice i'm the air and then holds
the whip so that the purse hangs di-
rectly over the priests head. until the
conclusion OF the chapter. when the
priest takes possession Of the purse and
revcrently places IL on the altar. Vol
umes might bc written about these
queer immortal customs, the origin OF
most of them being lost in antiquity

Whatever manuring is necessary can
also be done during the winter. The

reasons. One is that this condition Is

The Poet Lost Hi. Head,

A little incident that took place the
other day at the main door of the
house of representatives resulted in a
reduction in the house force by the dis
missal Of messenger. Senator
George of Mississippi, who speaks with
a broad Southern accent, walked over
to the house to see Congressman Dins-
more. AS he was about to pass
through the door, one Of the doorkeep-
ers, not knowing the Mississippi sen
ator, laid his hand on his arm and de-
tanned him.
Here. sir, are you a representative?
he called out. 49, q,
''No, sah." replied Senator George,
II am member. sab, of the United
States senate, and / want to see Rep
resentative Dinsmore, sah."s
The doorkeeper was resident of the
Bowery district in New York, and had
cultivated a grim sense of humor,
which he was in the habit of exploiting
at the expense of men with peculiari-
ties. He promptly replied to tile ven
cradle senator:
Representative Dinsmo'; sab,
!. Is not upon the flo, sab;
He went home at half-past TO-, sab,
And won't be back no mo-, sab.

Reversed writing.

The case of John Ghidotti, six years
of age. pupil at the North Adams
State Street school, is attracting con-
siderable attention i'll that city. The
boy is considered a phenomenon by
some because every word he writes
and every figure he makes in school
are reversed, and look like the correct
writing viewed in mirror. The boy
uses his left hand and begins at the
wrong side of the page. His teacher
has made every attempt to correct the
fault, but has not succeeded very we'll.
The boy has made correct letters, but
seemingly with as much difficulty as
one would have in initiating his mega
tive chirography. The case has been
brought to the attention of DIR. G.. w.
Wright of North Adams, who is spe-
cialist en- the eye. The doctor has not
met with any such case before. He
calls the case a freak of nature, and
does not think that it is caused by any
unusual crossing Of the nerve fibers,
but thinks 1t is evident that the image
Of an object appears reversed to the
boy. He prefers to leave the case to
higher hority.-Springfield (Mass.)

safety on water and Land.

The British board of trade has Is
sued statement Of the number Of
lives lost by accident In British mer
chant ships during the past year.
This statement shows the average
loss to he about five-sixths of 1 per
cest Of the number of men employed.
The percentage Of lives lost in sailing
vessels is somewhat larger than that
of steamers.
There were 21S,224 men employed on
British ships registered in the United
Kingdom. OF these 56,O95 were en-
ployed on sailing ships and 1852 100 on
steamships. The latter suffered loss
Of SIS seamen and 81 passengers, maxi
ing total of 947. Sailing vessels lost
1,Og9 seamen and p passengers.
The British statement is interesting
in connection with the report of the
United States inspector general that a
person is very much safer journeying
ON sea than on land, whether on bus
mess or pleasure bent.
According to this report. Of 10000,
600 journeys made last year only 221
ended in fatal accident. Otherwise
stated, the percentage of fatalities was
.OOOOOO36. This very small fraction
means that man who has ordinary
luck can make 2,715,4O trips on yes
sells propelled by steam before his turn
comes to be. drowned or blown up.
Nevertheless, it will probably be long
before people who have read the story
of the fate Of the wrecked Sailer and
the 400 victims who went down with
her can bring themselves to believe
that ships are, as awhole, safer con-
veyances than those serving OIL land
