CHURCH ALES.
An Old English Custom That Was
Suppressed In 1908.

An Old English Custom That Was
Suppressed In 1908.
From almost the earliest times in
England Church ales" were often Civ
en- in a building adjoining any church,
where were q hearth Of good compass
and q stout oaken table upon which
the ''ale" and viands were set forth.
The founder Of the feast gave his best
brew and was content to receive mon
ey in exchange, the spirit animaing
these quasi religious symposia being
akin to that which obtains at the mod
err charity bazaar-that is to say, all
who attended were prepared to pay lib
orally or even dearly for their fare.
Thus the man who had lost his mon
ey and was down on his luck'' would
give 'bid Cbegging ale' that if he
was popular, might suffice to set him
on his feet again. The more romantic
"bride ale' assisted penuHous young
couples into housekeeping, while pro-
sale 'Whitsun ale'' was furnished by
churchwardens, who used to raise
money for the poor, for church repairs
or other pressing cause, the malt pre-
viously presented to them and stored
in the 1.-THE barns.
Dancing was INDUCED in at such
Church ales," and if the season were
propitious an adjournment might be
made to an adjacent meadow, where
archery, quintain and other diversions
would ensue But excesses became
more and more frequent, so that in
1903 Church ales" were summarily
suppressed.

ANCIENT BABYLON.
The Way the Excise Question Was
handled by Its SCIons.

The Way the Excise Question Was
handled by Its SCIons.
4 translation Of King namourabis S
code, written about 2,250 years before
Christ. gives us an insight into the life
of the great city of Babylon at that
remote time and Of the way in which
the excise question was handled by its
legislators.
Nearly all the dealers Of wines and
LIQUORS at that time were women, as
many of the laws translated from the
code speak only Of women as sellers Of
drinks. Severe measures were taken
against those who adulterated the
wines or mixed them with water, so as
to safeguard the purity Of the article
for the use of the public. The barmaid
was held responsible for all disorderly
scenes or drunkenness i'll her premises,
and death was the penalty for those
who did not denounce all cases Of
drunkenness to the police Those wom-
en- who were employed in the temples
were forbidden to enter public hostel
ries under penalty of death, and even
drinking in private was forbidden to
them.
Special police officers were detailed
for the enforcement Of the excise laws
in the city Of Babylon, but then as well
as now the officers charged with this
duty were, if We are to believe the
code in question, either negligent in
the performance Of their duties or
too willing to accept bribes from the
barmaids in the shape of drinks or
even money.
Severe punishment is dealt out in the
document to the police officers who
shall accept bribes in connection with
the enforcement of the excise laws Of
Babylon, but it is probable that then
as we'll as now many of the fair saloon
keepers found q way to bribe the Off
GERS and evade the laws.

The JuveniIe japanese.

There are no children in Japan. They
are dignifed burlesques on the grown
ups. The little girls Of the family take
care Of the babies by having them
strapped to their backs. Nearly every
maid Of five or six has baby tied to
her back, and perhaps that accounts
for the bent back and tottering gait Of
the japanese woman. Though one
never hears Jap baby cry, if one be-
gins to make a mouth and wrinkle up
its funny little face, its child mother
quiets it by raising her body on her
toes and heels as fast as she can, and
placidity reigns in short order. A man
would feel like fool quoting Mother
Goose" to a japanese child or trying
to amuse it as one does our children.
AS for chucking one under the chin,
that's unthinkable

A Dutch FISHING Village.

At Marken, a fishing village Of Hol-
land, few men are to be seen, as they
are nearly always out at sea in their
boats. Those whom one does see are
like Dutchmen in play, in queer
headgear, in the most voluminous
knickerbockers that ever delighted the
heart Of a caricaturist and having on
gathering wooden shoes, which are, as
a coasting skipper once said, the sur
est preventive Of colds and Of "cold
feet (Which he spoke Of as if they
were a disease) to be found in the
world. Clumsy enough these Dutch
fisher folk look, but they are handy
in boat. But there IS agriculture, too,
Of a simple kind at Marken. Not man
usually is to be seen working in the
hay harvest or at other employment in
the fields. The women do the farm

The Voice Of the Turtle Dove.

One Of the most complete nisappre-
tensions with regard to the voices Of
birddom occurs when we listen to the:
monosyllabic coo Of the restful turtle
dove. By 10 means musical sound
in itself, yet it is so bound up In our
minds with the sleepy glamour Of sum-
mer afternoons that we imagine the
sitting dove as grooming to herself from
sheer contentment with her lot. Very
different is the reality. That droWsy
monosyllable is the voice Of the male
dove, not Of the hen upon the nest, and
while he utters it his antics are ludi-
crous to observe Usually he is giving
peremptory orders to his wife to get on
the nest, in order that he may take
her place, and if she hesitates to obey
be cnforces his commands with sharp
pecks upon the head. At other times
he seems merely to order her on the
nest for the pleasure Of witnessing her
devotion to his person, after which he
will suddenly become absracted IN
manner and presently go or to the
feeding place.-London Graphic.

The TyraDt prinaa Donna.

It is the rarcst thing to find that any

prima donna has been conspicuous Tor

achieve distinction IS composer.
Handel had 4 short way with the
prIma donna, and threatened to throw
her out of the window if she would
not sing what he had written. for her.
Wagner went further, and refused to
write for the prima donna at all. AND
Verdi, in "Falstafff," did throw her out
Of the window and gave the leading
part to a baritone. To the music lover
the pr1ma donna is nuisance, and a

Blind Boys Football.

Football and many other outdoor
games are played by the blind, certain
changes being made so that in each
game the sense of hearing takes the
place of sight. In football, for in
stance, a tiny bell is fastened to the
ball, and by the bells tinkle the balls
location is determined. The blind de-
light in races Of all sorts They do not
run toward a tape, as the seeing do,
but toward a bell that jangles briskly.
It is odd to see the blind at their
games. They play gravely and they
maintain a profound silence, for If they
made a noise the voices Of their guild,
ing bells could not be heard.

The little creature which possesses
the distinction Of having more legs
than any other animal IS that "hlcn
belongs to the family Of insects Known
as millcpeds, or thousand footed. Ihere
are several different species OF these
but they all possess the common char
acteristic Of having segmented bodies,
each segment Of which IS provided
with its own pair Of feet. These are
set so closely along the body as to re-
sernble hairs, and when they. move one
after another With perfect regularity
the effect is precisely the same on
small scale as that Of field Of oats
undulating under the influence Of the
wind. Some species Of millepeds have
as many as $50 separate and distinct
legs. They are all perfectly harmless,
unlike the centipeds, which frequently
have the power Of inhicting poisonous
wounds.

HORSESHOE LUCK.
4 Superstition Common to SearIy
All Races ard Nations.

y
All Races ard Nations.
The origin Of belief in horseshoe
luck" is so ancient that it never has
been determined with certainty, and
no superstition is moro universal. Ever
since horses began to wear shoes those
crcscents of iron have been accounted
lucky emblems Of all peoples, races
and nations that have been acquainted
with their use.
The Chinese, for instance, say they
nail them UP over their doors as a
charm against evil spirits because of
the close resemblance in shape between
them and the arched body of the sa-
cred snake, Nagendra. one Of their
principal deities.
Ask a Turkish A1ohammedan for in
formation on the subject and he will
tell you that it is because they are in
form like a crescent, the sacred en-
blem of Islam.
a Polish Jew will explain that at the
passover the blood sprinkled upon the
Intel and doorposts, in the manner
directed by their ritual, forms the chief
points of an arch; hence, obviously,
the value Of arch shaped talismans
such as horseshoes are.
The stolid and unimaginative Rus
sian peasant, on the other hand, main
tains that the luck associated with the
horseshoe is due chiefly to the metal,
irrespective Of its shape, iron being
taditionally charm wherewith to
nullify the malevolent designs Of evil
spirits and goblins.
Very different is the story by which
the Irishman seeks to account for his
liking for the same talismanic symbol.
The name "Ironland" or ireland" he
will tell you, originated as follows:
The whole island was once submerg-
cd in the sea, out Of which it only rose
once in seven years, and then only for
a very short time Many attempts had
been made to break the spell and in
duce the country to remain perma-
nently above the waters, but all We're
vain until one day daring adVen-
turer threw horseshoe from q boat
on to the topmost peak Of the Wicklow
mountains just as they were disap-
pearing beneath the waves. Then at
last was the ban removed. The Emer-
aid Isle began forthwith to rise again
from the ocean depths into which it
had sunk. And it has been dry land
more or less-ever since.
In England, up to comparatively re-
cent times, horseshoes were extensive
~ used almost everywhere as anti
witch charms, and the custom is not
even yet an extinct one. No witch, it
used. to be said, could enter building
over the door Of which horseshoe
or, better still, three horseshoes-had
been affixed, prongs downward.
The origin Of this particular belief is
referable to the old legend Of st.
Dunstan This versatile English eccle-
siastic was skilled farrier, and one
day: while at work in his forge the evil
one entered In disguise and requested
Dunstan to shoe his "single hoof."
The saint, although he at once recog-
nized his malign customer, acceded,
but caused him so much pain during
the operation that Satan begged him to
desist This Dunstan did, but only
after he had made the evil one prom
ise that neither he nor any Of the less
er evil spirits, his servants, would ever
molest the inmates Of a house where a
horseshoe was displayed.

WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
No Plot to Assassinate President Lou
bet of France.

Rome, April 25.-The report sent from
Rome to Berlin, printed in the Tage-
blatt of that capital and circulated on
the Bourse, and which reached Paris
(and which also was circulated in the
United Statcs) that there was a plot
against the life of President Loubet and
that an attempt had been made to as
sassinate him, is without foundation.
The report may perhaps have origi-
mated in the fact that a French priest
went to the office of the Italia, where
becoming excited, he cried that he had
come to Rome to kill President Loubet.
The editor of the Italia sent for the po-
lice, but before they arrived the priest
had disappeared. The police then ar
rested several priests, but in none of
them could the staff of the Italia recog-
nize the excited clergyman who had
visited the office.
All search for this priest. has up to
the present, proved unavailipg.
Nobody. however, attached import
ance to the incident.
