THE HUDSON RIVER,

Who Was the Real Disc0verer of
This Picturesque StFeam1
No Dutch or English man can affirm
the discovery Of the Hudson river.
Verrazzano must have distanced Hud-
sons archives by nearly hundred
years. However, the Dutch and Eng
lish liaison in the matter is close, Hud-
son is appropriated by Dutch minds
and has a Holland tradition round him.
He came in a Dutch yacht called the
Half Moon in 1909. His sailors were
Hollanders and Englishmen. He rep
resented a Dutch East India company
on its way to find the much sought
for northeast passage to India. He
explored the Hudson, going as far as
the little town that bears his name,
and he himself has been transmitted
to posterity with such blended and
mixed traditions as to constitute him
we'll nigh a half breed in peoples
minds.
The names Of the river are varied.
It has been called Manhattan, the
North river, the Great river, the
Mauritas and in the year 1915 bore
legally for some length Of time the
name Riviere Van den Worst Moritias.

There is a large bowlder lying in a
field near Foremark, England, which is
known throughout Derbyshire as
"hangman's stone" The exposed por-
ton Of the bowlder rises about six
feet above the surface Of the surround
ing field and has a narrow ditch or in
dentation running across the top. The
mark, SO tradition says, was made in
this way: A sheep thief in the dead
Of night, while leaning against the
bowlder to rest, placed his booty above
on the fat surface Of the stone. The
man had the sheep tied with a rope
and in it's effort to escape the creature
slipped on the opposite side, and the
rope, catching under the thief's chin.
choked him to death, The indentation
in the rock was made by the friction
of the rope while the dying man was
engaged in an effort to extricate him
self.

In the little town Of Andreasberg, In
ehe Harz mountains Of Germany, max
ing snow images has been reduced to
science under the stimulus of an annu-
al snow festival in which the residents
Of the town compete for prizes. Dur
ing the time it is in progress the little
village is thronged with guests. One
year 1000 persons enjoyed the sport.
The task Of the judges is by no means
an easy one. In back yards, front
yards and in the streets before the
houses the models, which include fig
ures and complex groups Of all kinds,
have been set up. That worker in the
snow Is wisest who waits until the last
moment and then works swiftly and
Skillfully. Many a good sculptor's work
has been reduced to a shapeless mass
before the judges got around just be-
cause the sun would not hide it's face

Among several of the early tribes Tor
nations, as they called themselves] of
the south Of Mexico all the land was
divided into three portions, one of
which went to the state, another to the
church and general education, and the
third was divided equally among all
ablebodied men in proportion to the
families they had to sustain. In this
way poverty was practically unknown
among them, for provision was also
made by the state for the sick, inflrm,
blind and MANNED. Therefore no one
need be poor, and only the idle and
vicious were. So poverty was punished
as crime.
In several countries Of South Amer
lea this law was also enforced. One
of the most notable examples was
Peru. There one-third Of all the con-
Quered land went to the support Of
the royal court and the government.
the second third to the people and the
third one to the church, practically the
same arrangement, for there, as in
Mexico, the church was the guardian
Of letters and education and the in
structor Of the Peruvian youth.-Mod-

The date of the first manufacture of
pins in England is shrouded in uncer-
tainty, but it is authenticity recorded
that as early as 1464, when money was
tight" extensive cloth workers COM
PEELED their laborers to accept in pay
ment for their work pins, girdles and
other Improbable wares instead of
money" The march Of Improvement
had begun and kept on steadily until
toward the middle Of the sixteenth
century pins began to win appreciation
so high that statutes were enacted pro-
tecting their manufacture, and rigid
laws were passed prohibiting the i'm
portation Of numerous minor articles,
including pins, gloves, knives, tailors'
shears, scissors and irons. Up to this
period female dress was fastened with
ribbons, laces, clasps, hooks and eyes
and skewers Of brass, silver and gold.
The latter were, in fact, pins without
heads.-LOndon Globe.

II remember when l was a student
at Wyoming seminary said a clergy
man, "a farmer came to Kingston to
visit his nephew, whom he was edu-
eating,
1.-THE farmer had no urban polish.
His tea when it was brought was very
hot, and he poured it in his saucer, to
his nephew's great modification.
"Finally, unable to restrain himself.
the nephew was so rude as to say:
"'Uncle, why do you pour your tea
in the saucerY
1.-THE old farmer looked up in sur
prise. Then he said in loud, hearty
voice:
""To cool it, to be sure. The more
air surface you give it the quicker it
cools. These here modern seminaries
don't teach much science, do they""

sat down to her desk. 1t took her
| long time to frame the letter she had
decided to write She wrote it in lead
pencil, erasing and interlining, and then
copied it. She set the stamp upon the
envelope with triumphant uplifting of
her head. Something told her that this
letter would make Henry Grimm, bach
elor, think.
1t did. When he had read it the first
time he showed back his chair from his
rich mahogany desk and stared through
the window where the joyous spring
sunlight was dancing on the roofs or
skyscrapers. 1t seemed as if a sudden
new light had flooded the eyrie in
which Henry Grimm had been content
at the game Of making money and
more money. He read the letter again.
Then he laid it down and leaned back
| in his chair. 1t was a womanly letter,
| but it carried a certain force of char
acter in every gentle phrase. And aft
er reading it the third time Henry
Grimm wrote to his nephew. He did
not even dictate the letter to his Sec
rotary, but wrote 1t long hand. Oddly
enough, at the same hour the very next
morning he found himself at the same
desk. The answers to these letters
came in her handwriting, but they bub-
bled over with boyish expressions of
the patient to whom the mail hour was
now the happiest Of the day.
Then the tenor Of the letters changed.
There were only daily reports from
Miss Kent setting forth the trifling va
riations of temperature and respira-
| lions. Young Stanton was wandering
In the land of delirium.
1t was only natural that Miss Kent
should write a few words of comfort
to the now anxious man and equally
natural that he should watch for those
daily crumbs of comfort, but his secre-
tary was amazed when the man of af
fairs suddenly announced that he was
going south. Miss Kent had written
that they expected the crisis in forty
eight hours.
Mr.. Grimm leaned back in the chair
of the parlor car and closed his eyes.
"Of course he will get we'll. He's been
keeping up this gait ever since his first
degree of measles. 1t is foolish Of me
to chase down there" Then he added
quite inconsequently, "I'll wager she's
forty-five and wears corkscrew curls."
.
Young Stanton had been carried out
on the convalescents' porch. He was
waiting for his uncle, who had gone
down to White Sulphur Springs for
weeks stay. II say, governor" he said
when Mr.. Grimm had finished his ac-
count of his trip, don't you think we
could fix it so that Miss Kent could
have little vacation? She looks aw-
fully tired. 1 think we could fix it on
the score that need her to take care
of me on the trip"
Henry Grimm looked up at the
mountains. They were calm and stead
fast. like Marion Kent. He rose sud
denly.

Big Fox Hunt Meet.

Chase City. Va, March livery
Mecklenburg meet here March 22nd
to 10Th, and the inquiries from clubs
and individual sportsmen have been
prompt and gratifying. SO that all ar
rangements are being all the more
cheerfully perfected to make the
grand fox chase a memorable one in
the annals of this manly sport of the
State. The hounds here have been
hardening to the hunt, and have had
fine practice for the past week in sew
eraf chases and will be found ready
to compete with all corners.
Among those who will be present
and are enthusiastic over the meetin'
are Judge A. NJ. Aiken. Danville, Va;
DR.. J. r. Rogers. of Raleigh, N. c.:
Mr. j. M. B. Lewis. of Lynchburg.
Va; who were earliest heard from.
Mr. Lewis suggests strong organiza-
ton here after the National Fox Iunt-
ing Association rules, to meet once a
year for this grand sport. He pro-
poses to bring several members at least
of the Oak Ridge Club and writes that
he would stop off most any business
to be present on such an occasion.
and he believes further that such
meet will do a great deal towards the
better breeding of dogs and horses
enobling the business and pleasure at
the same time. 1t should not be for
gotetn that careful and ample provis-
ion have been made for the pleasure
and comfort of the ladies who may
