Going to ia Fire In China.

Il was in Peking," said an American
tourist, "when fire broke out a few
doors below the house in which was
lodging, and at the first alarm rushed
out and into the burning structure to
see what coull be saved l was at
once arrested and later on discovered
the Chinese way of fighting a fire.
"a policeman first required ru affi
davit of the head of the household to
the effect that he did not deliberately
set the blaze and for this purpose took
him before an official half mile away
A second was stationed to see that no
one removed any furniture until the
papers had been made out
AFTER a lapse of forty minutes the
fremen arrived. They looked at the
burning house and decided that it was
on fire. After much argument it was
further agreed that it would be waste
Of water to t4y to put out the flames.
Two members who erected ladder
and climbed part way up were duly re-
proved for too much zeal, and after the
name, age and habits of the owner had
been taken the fire department retired
in good order.
CAS- the flames were unhindered, the
house burned to the ground, and when
the owner returned he was beaten by
his neighbors for endangering their
property. l was held in durance vile
for two hours and then fined 40 cents"

CHRISTMAS "BARRING OUT"
4 Strange Custom of SchOOlbOys and
Teachers.

4 Strange Custom of SchOOlbOys and
Teachers.
Barring OUT was one of the Christ
mas customs greatly in vogue in Eng
land three centuries ago. 1t is Gus
tom that obtains not only in England.
but to some extent in our own country.
to this day, although it is not particu-
larly q Christmas custom in our coun-
try. Barring OUT was the keeping Of
the teacher or master out Of the school
house until he yielded to such terms
as the boys of his school chose to die
tate. If the boys were able to keep the
teacher out of the schoolhouse for
three days and nights he was boHnd4by
all the laws Of the custom to come
to terms with the boys and to grant
them all that they demanded in the
way Of half holidays and abbreviated
lesson hours and extended recesseS.
If, on the other hand. the teacher out
witted the boys and regained posses
sion Of the schoolroOm, the chagrined
pupils were bound to submit to such
terms as he chose to dictate. AS these
terms usually included the severe
trouncing of all the boys having any
thing to do with the barring out of the
teacher, the boys were on the alert to
than one Christmas time of rejoicing
has been turned into a time Of weeping
and wailing on the part Of boys whom
some barred out teacher has defeated.

THE COMPASS.

The Belief Was Once Held That II
Disclosed Mems Thoughts.
A belief that the mariners compass
disclosed mems thoughts was enter
tanned by number of ancient Next
can companions and allies of Herman
do Cortes. His habit of consulting his
compass and chart in his advance
through the country and the ease and
assurance with which he reached
whatever town or village he deter
mined to make for tended to confirm
this idea.
In the estimation of the Mexicans
the compass was a universal oracle.
Accordingly in one of the conspiracies
which We're set on foot against Cortes
by the AZtecs a number of the natives,
most likely innocent OF what was in
contemplation, were earnest in entreat-
ing COrteS to have recourse to his in
fallible guide, the compass, that he
might ascertain for their mutual salts
faction that they at least Were faith
full. Cortes himself records the singu-
lar idea held of the powers of the mag
netic needle by his Aztec associates
and their request in letter addressed
to the Emperor Charles V. Their be-
lief, he adds, was one in which he took
care to confirm them,
