to be seen within st. Andrews church
at WillOughton, near GainsbOrough,
says an English magazine. This Is q
quaint speaking trumpet with an OBJ
scure early history, dating back to the
times Of the knights Templars. In
shape 1t resembles a French horn and
Is more than five feet long, having q
ben at the end of the graduated tube.
1t was formerly six feet In length, but
Is o telescoped at the Joints, where
the metal has apparently decayed.
Tradition declares 1t was formerly
sounded from the tower to summon
aid In case Of need, az. when blown
at a height, the weird, deep notes the
trumpet produced could be heard q
great distance away In bygone days.
1t 10 believed that this curious instru.
ment has often been used to call to-
gethdr the villagers thus dispensing
with the usual bell. and to give add.
tional power and strength to the choir,
being then probably used by the chief
singer. as the trumpet intensiHes vocal
sound to u marked degree.

HenpecLe ed For a Dag,

In the little hamlet Of Nordhastedt,
near MeldOrf, a singular custom is OBJ
served annually. According to tradi.
ton, It dates back to the thirteenth
century. During that era the hamlet
was on n occasion attacked by a
band Of robbers, and the men of the
village were soon compelled to beat a
retreat.
Thereupon the women boldly at.
tackled the robbers and not only van.
quished them, but also took the leader
and several Of the band prisoners. Al
q token Of their gratitude the men
have ever since allowed the women to
celebrate this great event by holding
a festival Mt stated intervals, and on
such occasions they exercise no au.
thOrity themselves, but submit in all
things to the will of the women.
n latter greatly enjoy their tenn
porary supremacy and, as a symbol
thereof, never fail to fasten a large
wooden slipper to every lamp and
chandelier In the hamlet.
