Curious Way Of Letting Land.

From the Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle:
An ancient custom in connection with
the letting Of piece Of land at Bourne
known as THE White Bread Meadow"
was observed recently. The land is let
by auction, and at each bid boy is
started to run to a given public house,
and the land Is let to the person whose
bid has not been changed when the last
boy returns. The land was let for SIS
Is Cd. The money Is partly spent in a
bread and cheese and onion supper at
public house and the remainder is
spent in loaves of bread delivered Ito
every home within certain district of
the town.

second time the great head was slowly
raised and the enormous trunk e'evat.

the position for a full minute. There
was no doubt about It. The lady had
hypnotized the elephant. There was a

ordered him to "sit up" Now, this
process of sitting up is one Of the most
difficult tricks an elephant has to do
Granted that he is willing and in the
mood to do so, the trick requires an
immense physical effort. NJ.
At the second command from Miss
Whitlock Billy raised himself few in
ches, but fell forward. On the third
the fore feet were raised higher and
higher and the enormous body was
actually balanced on his hind legs.
What made the feap the more re
markable was that throughout Billy
never for an instant shifted his eyes
from those of his fair trainer Miss
Whitlock meanwhile approached Billy

So Miss Whitlocks still ,ksering her

The advantages Of life at sea are the
entire rest and the absolute necessity
of almost living in the open air that
Is forced upon the patients. There is
besides the absence of dust, the equa-
bility OF temperature, the inhalation
of the saline particles that find their
way into the air, together with the cleo
trical stimulation of the ozone so plen-
tiful at sea. Besides the moist atmos.
phere the ocean has that distinctly sed-
ative effect that occurs in q moist eli
mate with high barometer. An added
benefit is the tonic effect of complete
change from ordinary life on land. ISL
and life possesses the sedative tonic
influences of the ocean without the
ennui of long sailing voyage. These
sailing voyages for therapeutic pur-
poses. should now be reserved only for
dipsomaniacs and errant sons.-Phila-

Earth's Disturbances,

Mother earth has evidently started
In this year to break all records DUR
ing historic times Of gigantic destruc-
tive disturbances.
For the first half of the year we
have to charge her unusual restless
ness with 4S,900 lives through volcanic
eruptlons and earthquakes. Her tor
nadoes have hurled 465 human beings
out of existence, and cyclones have
added 240 more to the list, while
other storms in great numbers, but of
less dignity in name, have placed 72O
to the direct account of violent winds.
Floods have swept 345 persons from
life, tidal waves have drowned ITO
and waterspouts have destroyed IS.
To all of this we must add 2S3 lives
charged to the destructive force of
aValanches and snow slides, and we
have total Of SLOTS; an astounding
mortality from these fierce agencies
of destruction in one-half of year.

Hanged, But Stin Lives.

The action of the Supreme Court in
sending the case of murderer James
Hamilton back to Butler County for
new trial has a peculiar interest from
the fact that Hamilton was hanged by
the neck through a space of more than
one hour and yet lived to describe the
frightful sensation which he UNDER
went while swinging at the end of a
rope. In the spring of 1900 Hamilton
killed George J. Webb, his boss, while
working on railroad not far from Eu-
reka. The men had quarreled and
Hamilton seized an axe and split
Webb's head, causing instant death.
He was captured by the other laborers
and strung up to tree. The men We're
not expert In tying the hangman's knot,
however, and the rope did not COM
press Hamilton's neck tight enough to
entirely shut off his breath.
After he had hung for more than an
hour farmer who chanced to be pass
ing cut him down, but the men who
had been watching from a little dis
tance at once closed in and prepared to
hang him again. And then followed a
strange yet inspiring thing. The farm
er stood over the body of the uncon-
scious man and pleaded with the mob
to let the law take it's course. Little
by little he won them over, until at last
they consented to take Hamilton to El
Dorado and turn him over to the au-
thorities. He was tried, convicted and
sentenced to twenty-one years in the
penitentiary. His attorney appealed
the case to the Supreme Court on n
technlcality. In the trial he had asked
certain of the witnesses If they had not
taken part in the hanging. The county
attorney objected to this question, and
the court ruled it out. The Supreme
Court decided that the question was
proper and sent the case back for a
new trial.-Kansas City Journal.

Mountain Climbers Bravery,

Sidney COwan, a young man from
Nashville, is receiving unstinted praise
for his bravery in mountain climbing
accident at Forest Point, Tenn.
Miss Winnie Tucker, prominent
young woman of Decherd and one of
a party on mountain trip, stepped
over a cliff and Cowan sprang to her
rescue. He caught her, but too late to
prevent her fall, being dragged over
the edge of the precipice, the two going
down together and landing on the in.
cline, thirty-five or forty feet below.
Though Cowan was badly shaken up
he was conscious, and, as his body
rolled down the ledge it caught on a
bush, which stayed his progress. Miss
Tucker, cut and bleeding, was falling
in the path he had come. AS she
passed he caught and held her, their
flight ending three feet from the edge
of a 300-foot drop. To have gone over
would have meant instant death.
Their companions organized rescue
party and descended to the ledge by n
narrow, circuitous path. Cowan was
found clutching the girls clothing in
one hand and clump of bushes IN the
other. Miss Tucker was insensible.

and entered the precincts of the sacred
First Presbyterian Church. taking the
hymn books and Bibles from the pews
and ruthlessly tearing them to use as
wadding for their guns, it was Gurdie
who boldly spoke up and asked: "Is
that the way you're going to give us
Watts and the Bible?"
The fight which followed was stiff
and long. The power of the young
American cannon, placed nearly oppo.
site the church was taxed to its utmost.
To-day any one passing the spot can
see this cannon preserved as relic
where it then stood, looking the very

than that Of Gurdie and her spouse.
One Of this stalwart woman's strong
points was her excellent housekeeping.
Near her great brick oven stood al
ways huge pot Of indigo ready to dye
the wool from the shorn sheep. Clean,
smooth and in order, the loom also
awaited her pleasure at weaving. Her
water from "the north side of the
lwellY .was cooler than could be had
elsewhere. Her cream Invariably
turned to butter. Gurdie could smooth
out most folks wrinkles.
When the muddy, staggering feet of
the British despoiled her polished floors
she made it understood that they
should rest in the cellar, where home
made wine was in casks, until she had
prepared their meal. Leading to this
place was n narrow fight of steps and
an old-fashioned trap-door. 1t was,
however, light and spacious, and the
men cracked many joke over their en-
tertainment.
At last Gurdie called to them that
their supper was ready. leave your
guns stacked in the cellar" she said;
there's no room for them above"
This they did and came tumbling up
the stairs. Gurdie then closed the trap
door with spring, which only she
knew. The men, suspecting nothing
fell eagerly to eating. To her stutter-
ing husband outside the window she
quickly passed the word, and thus a
short while later goodly number Of
unarmed men were carried off as pris-
oners by the American boys.
The signal which her husband gave
about the town as he passed from man
to man, and which has come to us
through history, was simply the record
of his clever wife's deed, "B-Gur- Cur
Gurdie's g-g-got th-th-the gu-gu-guns."

THE CoAcHMAN'S PASSING.

The Old Timers Disappeared From the
Earth When Railroads Came.
One often wonders what became of
the old coachman when railways drove
the last Of the mails off the road and
those who had known few pleasures
that were not associated with the
movements of lively teams and the
hum of rolling wheels or genial inter.
course with the travelling world could
enjoy those things no more. There
must be deep pathos in the unwritten
romance of that period. With few ex-
ceptions. the drivers of stage coaches
had 40 aptitude or inclination for other
work, though they were masters of
their own. Many time in boyhood
l have heard amateur whips pay ad-
miring tribute to the professionals of
an older generation who, for all their
dissolute habits and uncouthness, We're
workmen to the core with hands as
gentle as woman's. Bob Pointer,
who taught many Oxford under grad
yates how to handle an awkward team,
was one of the hard drinkers, but no.
body ever saw him in difficulties" to
which his skill was not equal. His
wise maxims are still remembered and
worth remembering: Never let your
horses know you are driving them, or,
like women, they may get restive.
Don't pull and haul and stick your ell
bows akimbo; keep your hands as
though you were playing the piano;
let every horse be at work and don't
get Hurried; handle their mouths light
ly; do all this, and you might even
drive four young ladies without ever
ruffiing their feathers or their tenn
pers. From the "Old Road Coach" by
Henry Fl. S. Pearse, in Outing.

Planting Grape Vines.

Grape vines should be planted about
eight feet apart each way and about
ten inches deep, cutting them back to
two or three buds above ground. A
crop Of potatoes or Strawberries may
be grown between the rows the first
two years. An excellent plan is to
allow two canes to grow the first year,
cutting back each year to three buds,
again allowing two canes to grow.
When the vines are five or six years
old from three to five canes may be
left. Always cut the old wood back
to about foot Of the ground if stocky
vines are required. 1t is the young
wood that bears fruit.

Protecting Plants For the Winter.


The amateur gardener often finds It
difficult to decide as to the time when
winter protection should be given his
plants. Sometimes we have pleasant
weather until late in fall, and we put
off this work from day to day, thinking
they would be injured by covering
them while warm weather continued.
All at once cold weather comes and
finds our plants wholly unprepared for
it. We at once set about doing the
work that ought to have been done be-
fore, but whatever is done under un-
pleasant conditions is likely to be poor
ly done, and the result of our neglect
is quite apparent when spring comes.
We are entirely safe in counting on
cold weather by the first of November
at the North, and 1 would advise get
ting plants ready for winter at that
time. 1t is so late in the season that
no harm will be done by it If the
weather continues mild. Choose a.
pleasant day for this work, if possible,
and do it leisurely, that it may be we'll
done. 1t doesn't pay to hurry it, for
hurry means half-doing what you un.

Do not make the earth in the boxes
and flower pots too rich. All plants
protected during the winter by setting
them on a stand in warm room, such
as geraniums, should not make heavy
growth but be kept In good condition
for slipping, as the spring and sum-
mer is the proper season for having
them to perfection. The mealy bug
must be guarded against when the
plants are kept in a warm atmosphere.

strong pappery taste, is very astrin-

results, to cuts and sores. The tea is
