Matrimonial Exports.

In the early days Of Virginia, when
the adventures were mostly unmarried
men, it was deemed necessary to export
such women as could be prevailed upon
to leave England as wives for the plant
ers. A letter accompanying one of the
matrimonial ships, dated London, Aug.
10, 1921, says:
"We send you in the ship a widow
and II maids as wives for the people
Of Virginia. There hath been especial
care taken in the choice Of them. for
there hath not one of them been receiv-
ed but upon good recommendations.
There are 80 more that are ready to 60.

Foxv Ways of the Japs.

The first ten days that one spends
in Japan impress him with the idea
that the people there are the best to be
found anywhere. But little by little the
conviction dawns that the bowling and
scraping is all slammed and that the
japanese are as unscrupulous as any
one. They cannot be trusted to keep
contract that is not favorable to them.
In all the large establishments, espe.
cially in the hotels, one always finds a
Chinese as cashier. Seemingly the Jap
anese are afraid to trust one another
The women are quite different. They
are faithful and honest and have low
able nature / have met large num-
ber of foreigners who have married
Japanese women and they are all en-
thusiastic in their praise. - Tacoma

The Treating Habit.

Is was Pope Telesphorus, who died
before the year $50 A. D., who institut-
ed christmas as festival, though for
some time it was irregularly held in
December, April and May. But for GEN.
turtles before there had been feast of
Yule among the northern nations, whose
great enjoyment was in drinking the
wassail bowl or cup. Nothing gave
them 20 much delight as indulgence in
"carousing ale, especially at the sea-
son of short days. when fighting was
ended. 1t was likewise the custom at all
their feasts for the master of the house
to I'LL large bowl or pitcher, to drink
out of it first himself and then give to
him that sat next, and so it went
around. !" This may have been the origin
Of that popular American custom known
as treating. It is certain that upon
our Christian observance of this glorious
day have been ingrafted habits taken
from rude and barharous people.

Continuous Steel Pine.

The West Australian government has
taken a contract to lay nearly $50 miles
of water pipe of novel character. This
pipe is to be made of steel spirals pack
ed in concrete. Sheet metal is cut into
strips Of the required width These are
fed into machine and welded into one
continuous strip. AS the strip is fed il
to the machine rivet holes are punched; !;
then the edges Of the laps are brought
together by machinery and held during
the process of riveting, which is all
done by compression. The lap is thrown
on the outside of the pipe, rendering the
inner surface sooth and even throughout
it's length. A tenacious hydraulic ce
ment is packed around the laps, making
the pipe absolutely water tight.

Paid the Full Penalty.

In the early days Of railways North
American Indians were many and loco
motives few, but in a comparatively
small number Of years these positions
have been reversed. Unfortunately,
perhaps, for lovers of adventure yarns,
the interesting experiences Of the driv-
ers and guards who accompanied the
first trains which ran from East to
West across the United States have
only on rare occasions been recorded in
black and white; and, therefore, when
an old hand can be induced to speak
of those stirring times, he is sure Of
ready audience.
More than once, remarked an Ameri.
can engine-driver, remember charg-
as the train approached, obstinately re-
fused to leave the line, preferring to be
run down rather than to turn tail on
the iron horse.
Their surprise ut this strange mon-
ster, however, could not have eQualled
that of the two Indians who made a
desperate attack on an engine, in the
hope, ] presume, Of securing it's scalp.
Mounted on fleet steeds, they took up
positions, the one close to the line it.

to the right on the opposite side. AS

Of the engine, while the former let fly
an arrow at the cab. In the excitement
at seeing his fellow warrior violently
jerked by the lasso clean out Of the

on to the line, where both paid the full
penalty for his rashness.

Dancing Birds

One Of the many strange sights on
the plains of southern Africa is party
of waltzing ostriches. Their queer an
tics have been described thus:
"When there are number of them,
they will start off in the morning and
after running few hundred yards will
stop, and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied or
perhaps break a leg. The males pose
also before fighting and to make their
court. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other,
while the neck is stretched on level
with the back and the head strikes the
sides, now on the right, now on the
left, while the feathers are bristling.
The bird appears at this time so absorb
ed in it's occupation as to forget all that
is going on around him and can be ap-
preached and caught. The male alone
utters cry, which sounds much like
an effort to speak with the mouth shut
tight"

SERVANTS EXCUSES.

We have heard the story of the Cana

in her house, was obliged to go to- the

Each Of the servants declined the task

History of Cleveland, relates an an
ecdote of Margaret Wharton, who,
while accepting her servants excuse,
yet made them do her will.
In one of her visits to Scarborough
Mrs. Wharton, with her usual economy,
had family pie for dinner, which she
directed the footman to convey to the
bakehouse. This the man declined to
do as not belonging to his place. or
rather, as derogatory to his conse-
quence. The lady then moved the ques-
tion to the coachman, but found still
stronger objection.
To save the pride OF both Mrs.
Wharton resolved to take the pie to the
shop herself. sShe ordered one man to
harness and bring out the horses and
the other to mount and ride behind, and
thus the errand was done with all honor
and ceremony Then in due time the
coachman was ordered to put to Sec
ond time and the footman to mount be-
hind, and Mrs. Wharton brought back
the pie in the same dignified state.
