Abbey, is about to be lighted by
electricity and thrown open to the

under the control of the office OF

apartment, with its double doors Of
oak, was possible only by the aid
of seven keys, which were in the

the place are ciruious stone altar

Some Elahteenth OentuY spOrt..

In his description of eighteenth
renaGly sports in England, Thom-
as Strut, who died 200 years ago,
described the game OF throwing at
cocks, then fayorite amusement
at fairs. The cock was fixed BY both
legs to a peg, and would-be per-
formers paid SO much shy, just
as they do now at a cocoanut, only
the cock was more difficult to hit,
because he lodged the missile. The
work ''cock-shy" is a survival of
this elegant amusement. Another
version Of it was TO put the cock
into an earthern vessel made for
the purpose, and to place him in
such a position that his head anu
tail might be exposed TO view; the
vessel, with the bird in it. was then
suspended across the street about
IL or IA feet from the ground, TO
be thrown at by such as chose TO
make trial Of their skill ? pence
was paid for for throws, and he
who broke the pot and delivered
the cock from his confinement had
him for a reward"

army multiply daily. The most re-
cent is that Of Franski, a non-com-

regiment, who was tried on 1920
counts Of cruelty and convicted on
100 Of them. He got ten years.
The interesting point of the case
was that Fanszki had left the
army and was serving as a police
man in Hamburg when the accu-
sations were made. Another inter
esting case is that of a private who
was tried for desertion i'll Konigs-
burg and sentenced to nine months
Imprisonment. After he had begun
to serve his sentence the case was
reopened. 1t was learned that he
had deserted through fear Of his
life. Once a non-commissioned Of

through with his sword. The orig
inal sentence was quashed and the
soldier restored 10 duty. No less
