To frenzy's verge she carried him,
And when she'd nearly ended him,

was in the manufacture Of weapons.

Origin of a Custom still Maintained I'm
q Quiet English Village.
An old ceremony which links the pres
ent with an epoch as nearly distant as
the Norman conquest has been duly OBJ
served in the quiet village of Biddenden,
in Kent, near Ashford, England. Easter
was celebrated by the distributing by
the vicar and church wardens of cakes
of gingerbread among visitors to the
place, while the residents were RECALLED
with hunks of bread and cheese. For
nearly 900 years these doles or gifts
have been dispensed, although now all
idea of charity has practically disap-
peared, and the distribution is used
more for an occasion Of conviviality
and ale drinking than for the pious
.commemoration of the two maids of
Biddenden who founded the feast.
These ladies were Eliza and Mary
Ghulkhurst, who lived at the beginning
OF the twelfth century and were Joined
together like the Siamese twins. One
died day after the other, and they
left a bit Of land, of which the rental
is about 5000 2 year, to perpetuate q
fund for the distribution Of bread and
cheese at Easter. The doles are all
stamped with q likeness of the two
maids. with their names and the dates
OF their birth and demise. Many peo-
pie go to Biddenden Tor the express
purpose Of getting a cake and preserv-
ing it as q curiosity.

opened and the wife of the famous
Arctic explorer in another moment COW
cred the little messenger with kisses
and caresses. The carrier pigeon had
been away from the cottage 30 long
months, but 1T had not forgotten the
way home. It brought a note from
Nansen stating that all was going we'll
with him and his expedition in the
polar regions.

carrier pigeon and turned the bird loose.
The frail courier darted out into the
blizzardy air. It flew like an arrow
over thousand miles of frozen waste,
and bhen sped forward over another
Thousand miles of ocean and plains and
forests, and one morning entered the
window Of the waiting mistress and de-
livered the message which she had been
awaiting so anxiously.

and endurance, but this loving little

after an absence of 80 months, accom-

a comparison Of the different meth-
DDS of doing what is practically the

Gates with his fellow mortal in the en-
CINE room. On the Thames, however,
it would be considered practically i'm
possible to convey information in this
manner, and the captains Of the small
paddle steamers on that stream stand
on the paddle boxes and sing, out:
4'Ease 'er!" ''Back 'er!" ETC., apparently
to nobody in particular, while these in
teresting remarks ere promptly repeat
ed in shril tones by a small boy into a
speaking tube which communicates
with the lower regions. On the Seine,
in France, this process is simplifed
and large trumpet-shaped mouth
piece flares out in front Of the man at
the wheel, and he yells his commands
into this funnel, the other end Of which
is supposed to reach the engineer. The
large steamers on the Rhine, in Ger
many, are controlled, not by the usual
wheel placed in the wheelhouse for
ward, but by a very large wheel on q
vertical axis, placed right amidships
upon an elevated platform or bridge,
and several men pass the handles from
right to left, or upon occasion trot
round in circle, and it would doubt
less be considered serious temptation
of Providence, or at least re-
Election upon the fatherland, if anyone
were to attempt to construct a Rhine
