. A CROSS ON HIS BACK.

II Was Made With Chalk, but Was
Too Heavy to Carry.
There is story of an envious tailor
current with the French peasantry He
fancied that his neighbor, who receiv-
ed pension for the loss Of an arm In
Cured while fighting for his country,
was better off than himself Both men
went to pay their rent on the same
day.
That's lucky man." said the tailor
to the landlord. HE gets well paid for
his arm"
But who would be willing to part
with an arm, even il he We're paid for
IT." said the landlord.
Il would declared the tailor.
You" cried the landlord. "Why,
man. you wouldn't be willing to bear
anything of the sort, no matter how
much you were paid for it,"
II wish some one would try mo-"
"Now. see here" said the landlord,
who had studied human nature, I'm
tell you what, if you'll wear even so
much as a chalk mark on your back
I'll remit your rent as long as you
wear it on your coat so it can be seen
the condition being that you tell no one
why it is there"
agreed" said the tailor eagerly.
"That's an easy way to pay rent"
So the chalk mark in the form of a
cross was made on the back of his
coat, and the delighted tailor sailed
forth upon the street
Strangers and acquaintance hailed
him to tell him of the mark on his
back. Jokes were made at his expense,
children laughed and pointed at him,
and his wife annoyed him with ques-
lions and with conjugal familiarity
told him he was a fool. The usually
amiable man grew surly and morose;
he Stunned men, women and children
and freQuented back streets. Before
the week was up the tailor found him
self embroiled In quarrel with his
best friend, his wife had threatened to
leave his house and he considered him
self miserable and i'll used.
Finally, one night he took off his
coat and rubbed out the chalk mark
and said: There. | would not wear
that cross on my back another week,
no. not if could have all the money
there is in Paris Compan-
ion.

EngIanG's Old Common Field System.

EngIand's Old Common Field System
a Common field" is quite distinct
from common" 1t is field be-
longing to numerous owners. The land
consists of long narrow strips. perhaps
not more than ten yards wide and run
ming parallel with one another. What
are the exact rules of cultivation that
obtain in Kent today we do not know,
but of old it was usual to have a regu'
lar rotation, such as wheat one year,
barley or oats the second and fallow
the third. When the crops We're har-
vested, each member of the community
getting his or her share all could put
in their cattle, which roamed over the
whole field. feeding on the stubble, etc.
And this was termed the fright OF
sack" The common field" system was
gradually done away with by statutes
in the reigns of George III and VIII
liam IV.--London Express.

Why We Battle.

Professor Vivian Lewes. at the Lon

following answer to the question
"Why do We battle" Twenty eight
miles Of sweat glands In our skin are
discharging &c ounces Of water per day
and leaving upon the outer surface of
the skin a full ounce of solid matter.
These are aided by the oil glands Of The
hair, which facilitate the adherence OF
external dirt. Hence the refreshing

It Is an untloubted fact that the hui
man body is shorter Mt night than in
the morning, and that is due to the
weight Of the body compressing the
intervertetral cartilages. During sleep
or while in recumbent position, the
pressure being removed, their natural
elasticity enables them to resume their
normal size; consequently the height OF

WILL FIGHT
The British Parliament
About Ito See
7RouBLous TIMES
The Irish Members Announce
Their Fixed Determination

London, Feb. 16.-In the course of
an interview In the lobby Of the House
of Commons last evening, in regard to
the opening Of parliament by King
Edward and the attitude Of the Irish
party, Mr.. John Redmond said:
"While the peers and commoners
were jostling each other In vulgar
haste to pay obeisance to Edward VII.
at the opening Of Parliament, every
Irish member deliberately abstained
from any participation In the pageant,
which was only mockery to our peo-
pie, poverty stricken and oppressed as
they are. At the meeting of the IT.
ish national party, it was unanimous
ly decided that, In consideration of
Ireland's present condition, deprived
Of constitutional freedom and over
taxed by English rule, against which
we must ever protest, the Irish mem-
bers would take no part In the cere-
monies inaugurating the new reign.
The resolution was unanimous.
$50 intense is this feeling among
us that for the first time in ten years
80 members met In united party in
Westminster today. They determln-
ed on vigorous campai9 n against the
new King. They intend not only to
discuss Irish questions, but TO inter-
fere in every British question which
may ari,e. The Kings speech gave
the first indication of what the result
of a revival of the movement in Ire
land means. We demand compulsory
sale Of estates by Irish laodlords. The
government now proposes to introduce
a bill Offering Inducements to Irish
landlords to sell these estates volun-
tarily. This will not do, but the pro-
posal is an acknowledgement Of the
power of our new movement.
We pul pose to expose the iniquity
of the Boer war and to make gener-
al assault along the line. In other
words, the accession Of the King In no
way alters the attidude Of Ireland to
England. On the contrary, having a
man to fight, Ireland will relinquish
her chivalrous attitude to the late
Queen, and we demand to know once
for all whether our constitutional
rights are to be awarded to us or not. y
Last evening Mr.. Redmond received
a message from Boston, signed by Mr..
O'Callaghan, saying: "Members of
the United Irish League OF Boston bid
the Irish party Godspeed in beginning
the fight"
Mr.. Redmond's amendment to the
address in favor Of the compulsory
sale of Irish estates will be seconded
by Mr.. Thomas Wallace Russell, form
-er Parliamentary secretary to the
local government board.
1t was reported 10 the lobby of the
Commons last evening that the gov
ernment int tends to raise the civil list
to $500, 900, and the proposal is Likely
to meet with considerable opposition.
