Seine of the most precious finds that
have ever fallen to the lot of the anti
quarry and collector have been in con-
nection with small cottage homes in
the country, the site of which has
been near old ruined castles, abbeys
and mansions.
AS such ,.ncient buildings fell into
decay in times long past the materials
of which they were composed, and the
very furniture and fittings within
them, were utilized by humble people
for the construction of dwellings, and
in this way relics of the past that are
well-nigh priceless have been frequent
ly found in the walls and woodwork Of
laborers' cottages Some of the most
beautiful colored glass of a very early
period known to English collectors was
found in a cottage not far from Ripon,
in Yorkshire, and the very leaden

frames in which the glass was imbed-
ded were unique and of great value
to connoisseurs, reports London Tit

ars supposed to have come from
Fountains abbey, near to the cottage
in question.
In another case, not far from Ponte-
tract, the stones of an humble cottage
were found to have upon them many
names rudely carved. AS the cottage
was itself tumble-down affair, it was
leveled to the ground by the owner.
and antiquarles then determined that
the stones W the inscriptions upon
them had come from an ancient castle.
The names were those of Cromwellian
and other soldiers for the most part,
but some of the carved names were
evidently those of prisoners of a much
earlier period.

Coming back to the Creole names
to which l have referred, l cannot
find any good reason, or reason of any
sort. for that matter, for their exist
ence. AS rule, they are made up of
Creole sounds, with rather delicate
regard for euphony. Many of them
are fascinatingly soft and musical.
Here, for instance, are the names of
negro women / have known on some
of the plantations in southern Louis
lana; Sounee, Tounon, Cher, Cite,
Bobite, Bella, Sogo. and Grigo, while 1
have known men who toiled in the
field, black, ugly, awkward fellows,
who answered to the names Sacata,
Pito, Faloute, Chinon, Papoute, Cheree
and so on. In some of these names
there is just a suggestion of Spanish,
and some of them, no doubt, owe their
origin to Spanish sounds combined
with certain other sounds peculiar to
the French tongue. The meaning of
these names l do not know, but they
are pretty and euphonious, if properly
pronounced. l suppose this is why
they have been selected, for the negro
you know, has an awfully keen ear for
the harmonies. New Orleans Times

crusty Old Man Bought One of the
Boy to Suppress Noise.

Boy to Suppress Noise.
1t was on a Swarthmore trolley car,
and among the passengers were lot
of youngsters with baskets and ham,
mocks, out for a days fun. One of
the lot was a boy about 5 years old,
dressed in full navy uniform. Sus-
pended from his neck was a whistle
that cost perhaps l or 2 cents. But
the boy behind the whistle was
enough to raise the dead. An old
man sitting opposite stood it for quite
a while, but at last, to stop the noise,
he offered the young marine 10 cents
for the whistle, and the sale was
made and goods delivered.
The boy looked at the two nickels
for while with staring eyes, slipped
them into his pocket and was quiet
and apparently in deep thought for
perhaps ninety seconds. Then he
reached in his pocket and pulled out
another whistle. a mate to the first.
and started in where he had left off,
with one eye on the old man. After
he had got red and purple and tired
from blowing. he said:
Say, mister, do you want to buy
another one?"

Rounding Cape Horn
Test of SedmanShip.

The Isthmian canal will not cnly
save 10000 miles in the voyage be-
tween New York and San Francisco,
but-and this is fact less frequeatly
dwelt upon-it will avoid some of the
toughest navigating known to searlen.
To sail ship round Cape Horn in the
teeth of the prevailing desperate west

manship, and sometimes of human en-
durance.

miles between the Atlantic and the Pa

Familiarity with the Chinese Language

One of the unmarried women liz dip
lomatic circles at Washington is the
Countess Marguerite Cassini. the ac-
complished niece of the Russian am
bassador, who is a countess in her
own right, not by heredity but by the
special grace of the czar, and curl
ous story is told of the manner in
which she won her title. 1t was when
Count Cassini had his fateful confer
ence with Ii Hung Chang at PeSin,
long before the boxer trouble. The
counts interpreter was away, for Lis
call was unexpected. and as the Chi
nese statesman could not speak Rus
sian and the Russian diplomat did
not understand Chinese the conference
came to a deadlock. The counts
niece, who had picked up something
of the language. stepped into the
breach and the affair was arranged to
the satisfaction of both parties. The
Chinese empress loaded her with pres
ents, the czar's government made a
note of the service performed, and
when there was question couple of
years ago of the young lady's prece
deuce at Washington. where the count
was then ambassador, the czar himself
confounded her rivals by making her a
countess. This was something like

Nearly a century before the Dutch
sailors, LIE Marie and Van Schouten,
in 1916 sailed round the cape. Magel-
Ian in 1920 had pushed his way
through the straits bearing his name
and become the first to find a west
ern way from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific.
But the straits of Magellan, tortu-
Gus, windy and narrowing in places to
the width of mile or SO. involve such
great difficulties that in general only
steam vessels attempt them. The
United States battleship Oregon was
brought through those waters in 1898,
On her memorable voyage from the
western coast; but powerful steam
ships are often beaten back and de-
layed by the terrific gales encountered
in the narrow passage.
And in all, the life OF the deepwater
sailor will be much easier when he has
no longer to reckon with the straits
and the cape. Neither of them offers
such a route as man would choose
for holiday journey.

A Quarter of A Century Ago it Is Esti-
mated There Were 300.
The King, it was announced the other
day, has presented the Duke Of Suther-
land with a number of head of red deer
from Windsor Park. They will go 10
reinforce the herd at Dunrobin, where.
we may hope they will thrive and
multiply. Centuries have elapsed since
the red deer was plentiful in England,
and it now survives only in a few old
parks belonging to great and ancient
families, or to those who, rich no longer,
cling to them as survival of their old
en- state. Probably there are not two
dozen deer parks in England which still
contain red deer. and the number Of
head is usually very small
The days when every gentlemen Of
worship had his park. with its essen
tial herd OF deer. have long since de-
parted, for reasons only too painfully
familiar to students of rural economy
Nor is it conceivable that any thing
short Of an agricultural millennium
would be likely to restore the golden
days when the squire ate venis0n 'all
the time and it was the noblest meat
that England afforded. Even the
ambition to own a fine deer park seems
to have died out-racing stables and
motorcars appear now to be more to
the taste of the newly enriched.
Among the few primeval Enclosures
that remain to us may be mentioned
Fridge and Eastwell, Blenheim and
IL
Oldest domain in which deer have
browsed without interregum since 1t
was impaired before the Conquest. 1t
must be remembered that parks fgreat
antiquity never could, in the nature OF
things, have been really numerous.
They were few, but large and it was
inevitable that as time passed the old
est should disappear, Domesday
mentions 81, some of which must
certainly have existed in Saxon times
There is, in fact, nothing to justify the
theory that the fashion for deer parks
"came in with the ConCueror.
We know, approximately, how many
parks there were in Elizabeth's day
and the total-between 700 and S00-is

| is, however, quite possible that tht
number had at that time begun to di-

the power of the great feudal mobiles
so did the growth of trade in Eliza
beths time begin the uprooting of the
old lSnitly families. Land was needed
| for the feeding of beef and mutton
and the growth of wheat, out of which
money could be made. Therefore they
restricted their parks to moderate
size or broke them up altogether. The
| old landed families followed this pro
! fitable example and there can be M

Wester on Wednesday night. Both cap
tains put their vessels over towards the
Cape Ann short for lee. When off
Thatcher's Island they split tacks and
finally both came about at the same
time and unbeknoWn to the captains
headed toward each other, the Crary
holding north on the port tack and the
Palmer south on the starboard tack

The survivors to-day were inclined to
lay the blame of the accident on j. e.
Smith of Portland, Me-, mate of the
Crazy, who had charge of the deck at

They are of the opinion that he thought
he could weather the Palmer, but as in
other accidents the calculation was err
roneous. The Crazy crashed into the
bow of the Palmer. The cut was deep
and it was seen instantly that there
was no hope for either vessel. Most of
the small boats were smashed and some
OF the men killed by the collision but
others of both crews by quick work
launched the long boat of the Palmer,
into which clambered het captains Of
both vessels and thirteen others.
There was not moment for storing
food or water in the boat and the row.
ers had propelled it only short dis
lance from the schooners when the
Palmer went down. Three minutes
later the Crazy disappeared.
Without food and water, drenched to
the skin, spray freezing to their gar
ments because of the bitter cold the
fifteen survivors underwent sufferings
Understandable. -Four men of the Crary
on Friday lay down in the bow of the
boat and that night they died. Eleven
remained up till Saturday night when
Franz Banta went insane and under
4 the delusion that his mother beckoned
4 to him he walked into the sea. The
others were powerless to restrain him.
Shortly after this the two captains
decided that the bodies of the four dead
men should be consigned to the deep
and bending over them Captain Potter
Of the Crazy repeated as much Of the
burial service as he could remember.
Then the strongest of the survivors put
the bodies overheard.
In the three days and a half that the
men were afoat their boat drifted
steadily off shore until at s o'clock
Sunday morning it was forty-five miles
off Highland Light There the lookout
on the fishing schooner Manhassett
caught glimpse of the boat and with
in half an hour the ten men We're in
the cabin of the schooner.
Captain Malone at once crowded on
all sail and brought the survivors into
Boston.
