In an article on Historical Houses"
In the House a writer calls attention TO
a curious relic Of the days when the
Northumbrian pastor was compelled TO
live In a fortified house II lie wished to
preserve his worldly goods from the
plundering bands Of moss troopers who
were continually crossing the Scottish
border and raiding the homesteads OF
defenseless villagers. One Of the best
examples of these fortified rectories.
originally built in the fourteenth cen
fury, still exists In Rothbury. IL Is de-
scribed in q list of fortlets In 1912 rs n
"toure and little barmekin. being the
man'con of the p'sonage of ROthbury."
1t has walls eleven feet thick at the
base and six feet at the top. II has
turrets at the corners and n chamber
with a stone floor. into which the rec
tors drove their cattle at night or on
approach of the raiders.

A Nile VILLAGE.

A traveller of the upper Nile thus de-
scribes a typical native village: 1.-The
houses are built of Nile mud, each
house accommodating family of no
matter what size, the inhabitants Of
each village almost all related to each
other, comprising sometimes several
hundreds of people.
"Their streets are Uttered with filth,
animals of every kind obstruct ones
path, dogs growl and snarl at the ap-
pearance and intrusion of a stranger,
and women flee, hiding their faces
in their yashmaks lest q white man
should behold their features. Flies In
swarms settle on the children and lay
their eggs on their eyelids, unwashed,
because they believe it to be contrary
to their religion to wash or remove the
flies from their eyes."-Chicago Record
Herald

4 SUSTAINING DIET.-These are the
enervating days, when, as somebody has
said, men drop by the sunstroke as II the
Day Of Fire had dawned. They are
fraught with danger TO people whose sys-
TENS are poorly sustained; and this leads
US to say, In the interest Of the less ro-
bust of our readers, that the full effect Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla Is such as to suggest
the propriety Of calling this medicine
something besides a blood purifier and
tonic-say, a sustaining diet. 1t makes
1t much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep, and will without any
doubt avert much sickness ut this time Of
the year.

Fighters In London Streets.

The reign of George III. was a great
fighting time. Every man who went
abroad knew that he might have to
fight to defend himself against footpad
or bully. Most men carried stout
stick When DR.. johnson heard that a
man had threatened to horsewhip him
he ordered thick cudgel and was easy
In his mind. There were no police, and
therefore a man had to fight. 1t cannot
be doubted that the martial spirit Of
the country, which was extraordinary.
was greatly sustained by the practice
Of fighting, which prevailed alike in all
ranks.

Nice Little Love Story.

Nice Little Love Story.
A dreamer and a man of action loved
a woman.
The dreamer said: II shall write
verses ii. her praise. They will touch
her vanity, and she will love me for
them
But the man of action said: How
old fashioned! l shall corner the stock
market, and that will bring her."
So the dreamer wrote verses, and he
induced friend of his who ran a mag
azine to print them. And the man Of
action cornered something or other and
became a Millionaire.
In the meantime the girl married a
man who inherited his money and
lived happy ever after.
But the dreamer was so proud of his
verses that he didn't care, and the man
of action was so busy that he didn't
care.
The only one to suffer was the man
she married.-Smart Set.
