nance In Seaside prohibiting cows to
run at large, but It is not enforced.
Cows are allowed to roam the streets
at will. break into yards. destroy gar
dens and shrubbery, and not sim
gle effort is made to stop it. There
is an ordinance requiring all dogs to
pay license. Out Of over 100 dogs,
only S6 have paid. Next year, It will
be impossible to collect any license,
as 1t is not right that one should pay
and another escape. II these ordl-
nances are not to be enforced, there is
not any use Of so many town off,

CURIOUS SEA CUSTOM.
Nsptuns's Court on Vessels Crossing
the Eouator.

the Equator.
OF all the ceremonies connected with
the sea, perhaps thar nefd on board
some ships when crossing the line as
the equator II called, Is the oldest Of
all. The most venerable sea dog will
tell you that in his early days to fore
go the ceremonial when the vessel was
crossing the line would amount to al
most crime In the opinion Of season.
ed sailors.
When the ship Is nearing the equa-
tor, d strange-looking figure appears at
the bows one morning with long
beard and hair made OF oakum. He is
supposed TO be Neptune, and ne comes
to convene his court. When all are
gathered round him including the cap
tain. he asks. in loud voice: Have
you any chickens aboard?' BY which
he means youngsters who are now
crossing the line for the first time.
Yes, SIR" answers the captain. in his
politest tone; for does not this strange
figure represent the god Of the sea,
the controller Of all the craft that
sails on the mighty main? "Then, "'
answers the deity. II will hold my
court on board at half past tomorrow
morning"
Throughout the day extensive prep
arations are made. A sail. rugged up
on the gangway Of the upper deck, is
filled with sea water and throne for
Neptune Ia constructed.
At the hour appointed the sea god
and his satellites. to the number OF 20
or thereabouts, make their way to the
captains quarters. and are regaled
with grog prior 70 the opening OF the
court. Then, followed by the captain.
they go TO where the throne stands
waiting. and Neptune and Amphotrite
sit in the center.
Meanwhile the sailors have been
hunting the craft over for the youngs-
ters, and one by one they are dragged
before the gaudily dressed tribunal,
whereupon they are tried and sentenced
according to the trouble they have
given in being brought to justice.
AT a signal from Father Neptune, the
chicken is tilted head over heels into
the sail filed with salt water. where
the bears" standing up to their
waists. are ready to receive him. Here
he is ducked time after time. and push
ed under by one person and another
until he is practically exhausted. Ev-
cry time he attempts to break away
from his tormentors and climbs up the
slippery sides OF the sail he Is hit
in by some one standing on the deck
armed with a truncheon filled with
oatmeal; while simultaneously some Of
the bears win grab at his legs and
drag him back again for an extra duck
ing as reward for his audacity in
trying to escape. Not until he is thor
oughly exhausted Is he allowed to go
in peace, and fresh victim is taken in
hand to be treated in the same way.
The court generally holds this ravel
up until midday, whereupon q number
Of sailors, with hose pipes, appear on
the scene, and send sharp jets of wa
ter into the faces of everybody. UP in |
the rigging several men are waiting
with buckets Of water. which they
empty onto the head Of a victim as
he passes beneath. This sort Of thing
may be kept up FOR several hours, until
the decks are running with water and |
everyone is drenched to the skin

A level headed exchange imparts
this truth: There are Thousands Of
families in the United States who are
forced from one cause or another to
change their abiding place. Each one
naturally hopes to better himself, and
each one looks for a live town and
not dead one. No village or town
should be content to stand still. Some
Improvement should be planned and
carried out every year To stand stlll
means decay and TO lose population
instead of gaining
