VILLAGE ODDITIES.
English Towns Distinguished For Being
One of a Kind.

English Towns Distinguished For Being
One of Kind.
Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
township in England is that of Skiddaw,
in Cumberland. 1t contains but one
house, the ocoupier of which is unable
to exercise the Briton's privilege of vot-
ing because there is no overseer to pre-
pare voters list and no church or 9TH
er place of worship or assembly on
which to publish one.
The most remote village in England
is that of Farley -Pitton. This tru-
ly rural spot is 301a miles from the
nearest railway station. AS contrast
to this may be mentioned the hamlet OF
Ystrad, about 10 miles from Cardiff.
This tiny settlement possesses two i'm
portant main roads, two railways and
two large rivers.
A very unique feature is exclusively
claimed by Trimley, small village in
Suffolk. In the one churchyard of the
parish two churches are to be seen. Serv-
ice is conducted three times a week in
each of these churches at the same hour.
The deepest we'll in England is found
at Hamilton, in Hampshire. 1t stretch
es $50 feet below the surface of the
earth About half way down this we'll
shaft is subway, three miles in length,
which leads to the seacoast.
On the top of the parish church tow
er in Bicknoller, Somersetshire, is q
yew tree, now five feet high and still
growing in hardy fashion. 1t is gen
orally believed that the tree owes it's
origin to a seed dropped by bird.
Perhaps the most splendidly deco
rated church in the kingdom is that of
Whitley Court, Worcestershire. 1t is en-
tirely constructed of white marble, the
pews are chastely carved, and the pull
pit is of genuine Carrara marble, richly
paneled with precious stones.
On the village green at Meriden, in
Warwickshire, there is a large stone
cross which is supposed to mark the
central point of England. Pearson s

A DREAMER.

He is dreamer. Let him pass.
He reads the writing in the grasa
His seeing soul in rapture goes
Beyond the beauty of the rose.
He is dreamer, and doth know
To sound the farthest depth Of woe.
His days are calm, majestic, free.
He is dreamer. Let him be.
He is dreamer. All the day
BEST visions find him ON his way
Past the far sunset and the light,
Beyond the darkness and the night.
He Is a dreamer. Godl To be
Apostle OF infinity
And mirror truths translucent CLEAN
He is adreamer. Let him dream.
He is dreamer. For all time
His mind is married unto rhyme.
Light that ne'er was on land or sea
Hath blushed to him in poetry.
He is dreamer, and hath caught
Close to his heart a hope, thought,
A hope of immortality.
He is dreamer. Let him be.
He is a dreamer. Lo, with thee
His soul doth weep IN sympathy.
He is n dreamer, and doth long
To glad the world with happy song.
He is dreamer. In a breath
He dreams of love, and life and death.
o man, o woman, lad and lass,
He is dreamer! Let him pass.

THE DREADED BACK DRAFT
One of the Worst Periis That Confront
the Firemen.

One of the Worst Perils That Confront
the Firemen.
In ST. Nicholas there is an article on
1.-THE Perils of a Fireman's Life by
Charles T. Hill, who has written sew
eral articles on the New York fire de-
partment for this magazine Mr.. Hill
says
Next to dangerous cellar fire moth
ing is more dreaded by the men than
what is known in their own language
as the "back draft. I" This is a sudden
veering of the flames. usually caused
by the burning away of some portion Of
the building that gives the fire renewed
draft and changes it's course completely.
The firemen arrive and find the whole
second or third floor of building in
flames. Axes in hand, they smash open
the doors. and with the hose dash up
the stairway. This is all afire, and the
flames are rolling above like red pail.
With the engine at work and good pres
sure on the line, the battle between the
two elements, fire and water, begins.
Inch by inch the men fight their way
up the stairway, now to retreat as the
fire gains upon them and now to ad-
vance as it rolls away for moment.
The encouraging words of the COM
manding officer are heard behind them
urging them on: "Now, get in, boysi
That's it-get in-get in! Make the
next landing! Hit it up, boysw and
all the other words of encouragement
that he usually gives.
They finally reach the landing. They
are on the floor with the fire. It rolls
away from them. They drive it farther
back. Encouraged by their seeming vic
tory, they drag up more of the heavy
hose to make IA final dash at it, when
suddenly something falls in at the rear
of the fire that gives it renewed draft.
1t rolls tow ard them, an impenetrable
wall of fire-the deadly back draft!
Their only chance of escape is to throw
themselves upon their faces. in hope
that it may roll over them, or to hUrl
themselves down the stairs up which
they have so gallantly fought their way.
Better broken leg or arm than death
by roasting, and the water of 80 en-
gines could never stay the progress of
that awful wave of flame.
Many brave fellow has lost his life
in this manner, and very often all the
members of company return with
their eyebrows, hair and beard singed
off, bearing evidence that they have
been "ketched," as they express it, by
a less terrible form of this deadly draft.

original inhabitants of the earth and
that Chinese history goes back at least
500, 900, 600 years. The government rec

The letter A is in Hebrew called
aleph, an OK, and the Phenician char
acter which represents this sound was
originally picture of an OK head hence
the name. The right hand stroke of the
A represented the top of the head, the
other down stroke the left side and a
line, since fallen out Of use, represented
the right side Of the head, while in very
old Phenician manuscripts two dots

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

years ago by the people and ignored
by Congress, is again heard through
out the Eastern States. Nearly all
civilized nations have adopted the

to be no good reason why the United
rule. 1t can be conducted without
expense to the Government and its
benefits to the people would be in
calcuable, as has been proven by ex-
p%er1enCe in many parts of Europe.
1t not only supports itself, but is a
SoutCe OF revenue to the Government.
1t encourages habits of thrift among
those who have to work for wages
and among all who have small in
comes. 1t makes people patriotic,
as every depositor has a personal in
terest in maintaining the Government
1t has a tendency to prevent panics,
as depositors would know that their
savings would be secure so long as
the Government existed. The Gov
ernment could invest deposits in
United States bonds so that the peo-
pie would own a share of the public
debt, which is now monopolized by
the gold trust. If the Government
debt was owned by the masses of the
people of the United States, as it
would be if postal savings banks
were established at every money
order post office, instead of by the
European gold trust and its Ameri-
can agents, Mr., Hanna nor no other
boodler could collect a campaign
