RELIABLE FIRMS THAT SELL GOOD We
HICLES GEEAPLY.

The new way of selling carriages
and other vehicles, harness and
horse accessories, as practiced by the
Columbus Carriage and Harness Co.,
has proven immensely successful.
The plan is, briefly, to sell high grade
carriages and harness direct to the
user, at factory prices. This enables
the buyer to save all dealers and
agents profits and commissions, and,
besides, affords the additional advan-
tage of selection from a larger and
er can carry. The Columbus Car
riage and Harness Co. manufacture
carriages, buggies, ~surries, phaeton
and harness on an immense scale and
deal very largely in robes, blankets
and other horse equipments. Every
thing they sell is shipped with the
distinct understanding that if not
entirely satisfactory to the purchaser,
the price will be refunded on return

QUEER CUSTOMS.
selling by CandIe-The asin-Eaterk'
of Wales still in Vogue
in England.

The custom of selling by candle
an ancient ceremony-still prevails IN
several towns in England, notably at
Aldermaston. 1t is letting land, not
selling, however, and the property is a
piece of meadow, the church acre"
which was bequeathed some centuries
ago to the church. The custom or cere-
mony is as follows: A candle is lighted,
and one inch below the fame is duly
measured off, at which point pin is
inserted. The bidding then commences
and continues until the inch of candle is
consumed and the pin drops. To the
one who is bidding as the pin drops out
the land belongs. Every three years
this ceremony is performed, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat-
AT Chedzoy the church acre is let
every 81 years by this means, and at
Tatworth sale by lightedcandle takes
place every year. At Warrior the graz
ing rights upon the roadside have been
annually let by the same means, a GUS
tom which has been observed since the
time of George III. The one who pre-
sides at the auction produces the old
book containing the record of the annu-
al lettings since 1915. An ordinary
candle is then cut into five equal por-
tions, about one-half inch long, one for
each lot. At the last auction, attention
was drawn to the fact that the sporting
rights over the old gravel pit were in
cluded in lot 1, but unfortunately there
were no fish in the pond. Get on, gen
tlemen, please; the lights burning"
was a frequent exhortation.
At funerals in some parts of Wales
there is a curious custom. A poor per-
son is hired-"a long, lean, ugly, la
inevitable rascaI'-to perform the du-
ties of sin-eater. Bread and beer are
passed to the man over the corpse, or
laid on it; these he consumes, and by
the process he is supposed to take on
him all the sins of the deceased and free
the person from walking after death.
When a sin-eater is not employed
glasses of wine and funeral biscuits are
given to each bearer across the coffin.
The people believe that every drop of
wine drunk at funeral is a sin COM
mitted by the deceased, but that by
drinking the wine the soul of the dead
is released from the burden of the sin.
In some places it is the custom to
send to the friends of a family, after a
death, bag of biscuits with the card of
the deceased. These funeral biscuits
often small, round sponge cakes-were
known as arvel bread-arvel meaning
ale. When arvel bread ispassed around
at funeral each guest is expected to
put shilling on the plate.

THE LOBSTER AS A FENCER.
Surprising Agility of the Larger Ones
In Evading the GaT OF
the Hunter.

That fencing is pastime among
Holsters I have no doubt, from some
little experiences 1 have had with
them, says writer in Contemporary
Review. Once. found lobster near
low water in a pool some nine feet
long by six wide, having a rough bot
tom and eight or ten inches of water
or it with a cavern at each end. AL
though was armed with crab-crook
or iron gaff about three feet long, the
extreme darting and fencing of the
lobster were too much for me to Crap
pie with. When in the deeper cavern
found it could see me through the
water as plainly as could see it; so
that here the better constructed eyes
of the genus homo had no advantage
over the rough hard stalk eyes of the
crustacean; and as l could not get
to gait across it, every effort l made
was evaded; at last, however, by mere
vigorous and energetic gafing made
the cavern so uncomfortable for the
lobster that like lightning fash it dart
ed between my legs and into the lesser
cavern. Here the same game went on
and with like results; for in moment
he was again between my legs and
back into his old haunt. Finally be-
coming tired of gaffing and missing
(for its fencing was perfect and could
not have been achieved without long
pFactice) I declined to be beaten by
a mere crustacean and proceeded to
bail out the pool. 1t was only by this
effort that 1 eventually conquered it.
And here 1 must confess that through
the battle so deft, crafty and subtle
were its actions that it was like fight
ing being endowed with human in
telligence.
I have further proof that they man.
fest a martial spirit in the sea when
hunting for food. 1t is nothing I'M
common for fishermen, when drawing
up their traps in the morning, to find
the large claw of another lobster in
the pot beside the prisoner; and there
have been instances when three large
claws have been found together under.
the above conditions, and a lobster
with one arm, as a prisoner, showing
that in a recent fight the victor had
lost one, and the vanquished both his
arms. But these are only trif1es COM
pared with what the late Sir Isaac
Coffin saw on the coast of Nova SEQ
tia, for it is given on his authority
that he once witnessed terrible bat
tie between two armies of Holsters,
and that they fought with such fury
that the shore was strewn with their
claws

SUGGESTIONS AND DREAMS.
Finding the CIew to a Pulling and
Terrifying Vision Is Not
Difficult.

eff we could only remember" said
q New Orleans druggist, in the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, Il am con-
WINGED we could trace all our dreams,
no matter how fantastic, to some sug-
gestiOn received shortly before going
to sleep. L have often amused my
self by searching for the clew to some
puzzling vision and in a great many
cases l have succeeded in finding it.
"My most curious experience oc-
Cured at the residence of my brother
in Montgomery, whom 1 visit two or
three times a year. 1 always occupy
the same spare room and have Occa-
sionally been troubled there by a very
peculiar nightmare. The incidents of
the dream were wild and incoherent,
like all Nightmares, and varied great
ly; but they had one feature in COM
mon-the central figure was almost
invariably strange old man, with a
long pointed beard and hair that
stood up at the sides of his head in a
sort of disheveled brush This man
was sure to appear in some connec-
ton at the climax of the dream, and
always inspired me with the greatest
terror, although / cannot remember
that he ever seemed to threaten or
pursue me.
Il never saw anyone resembling
him in life and was deeply puzzled
to know how the conception origin
ated in my brain. On nv last visit
to Montgomery l solved the problem.
I was LAYING my face and hands, pre-
paratOry to going to bed, when 1 hap
pened to look closely at the wallpa-
per, and 10 and behold! there was my
little old man, repeated hundreds of
times in the design. 1t was one of
those sprawling old-fashioned pat
terms in which you may find almost
anything you look for, and two of the
ornamental scrolls joined in such a
manner as to make the exact outline
of the face / had seen in my dreams.
The picture was evidently purely ac-
cidental, but, once seen, it dominated
everything else, and l suppose my
mind took unconscious note of the
grotesque profile to call II up again
in sleep. Since then l have not had
the dream. Possibly my discovery
robbed the impression of its power to
terrify.'
