"Therc is a general impression,
in this country at least, that the
institution known as tar and
feathers is distiuctively Americ-
an. Nothing could be further
from the mark observed Judge
Riley, Of the Virginia bar. "The
fact il, what We understand to be
a coating of tar and feathers is of
ancient origin. There is also an
idea ahoRt that tar and feathers is
sort OF Southern celebration,
that it was invented there, and
that it is Of common occurrence in
that section OF our loved country.
L assure you that both these ideas
are wrong all the way through.
In the first place, while there is
plenty OF tar in the South the
stock of feathers is not so large.
And again, they are too valuable
to use in such q way.
Where IL person deserves such
q treatmcntit is much easier and
better to g.ve him thorough

perIy applied. Tar and feathers
originated in the days of Richard
Corr de Lion, over 800 years ago,
AS is evidenced by one of his or
dinances for seamen, as follows:
That if any man is taken with
theft or pickery, and thereof con-
victed, lie shall have his head
polled and hot pitch poured upon
his pate, and upon that the feathers

The return of Nansen from the
Arctic and lis great achieve
ments are still the wonder of the
scientific world. Nansen's theory
of the movement of the ice pack
and the experience of the Fran
have been a revelation to the
Arctic experts. When the ex-
petition started out it was con-
sidered foolhardy venture, but
it now seems Nansen was right.
Among the many things found to
confirm his theory of the move
ment toward the pole was a
wooden box, which was picked up
near the farthest point reached.
This box was opened and to the
delight of the entire expedition
was found to contain two dozen
bottles of Rainier Beer. 1t was
found to be cool, sparkling and
refreshing, 1t is likely Nansen's
testimonial to the superior quail
ties and taste of Rainier Beer
may be added to the many al
ready given by prominent men of
the Northwest. On tap or in

Shipping circles in England are
at last thoroughly alarmed by the
great danger which constantly
threatens by reason of the large
number of derelicts ahoat in the
Atlantic. The generally accepted
explanation of the mysterious loss
of the White Star steamship Mar
onic now is that she went down
after striking one of these menac.
ing obstacles to navigation. The
accident to the steamer Glendower,
which struck a derelict about 900
miles west of Queenstown, has
aroused general public interest in
tue subject. Tl.re are now no
less than twenty. one derelicts
floating about in the Gulf stream,
some of them in the direct track
of transatlantic travel. The mat
ter is to be brought up in Parlia-
ment early in the coming session.
