Et Was known as York House WntiE
Cardinal WOlseY,S EalE.

Old Westminster palace was the Lon
don residence Of the archDishop3 OF
York and was known as York House
or York Place down to the reign of
Henry VIII. On the downfall Of Cardi-
nal Wolsey, 1929, York House was de
livered and confirmed by charter to Che
king, who changed it's name to White
hall
There were already several White
halls in the country, and the choice Of
the name in this instance may have
been due to new buildings Of white
stone added by Henry VIII, which
contrasted with the red brick in gen
eral use. Another conjecture is that the
king wished to emphasize the depth Of
the cardinals fall by erasing the very
name of the palace so clearly associated
with his elevation to power and posi-
ton
This appears to have been Shake
speare's view, for in Henry VIII. we
read:
Sir you must no more call it York Place:
that's past.
For, since the cardinal fell, that titles
lost.
IT'S now the kings and called Whitehall.

Mrs. Gum nudge.

We have her with us always. Her
nose droops, her mouth turns down at
the corners. her complexion is generally
sallow, her eyes lusterless, and when
small tribulation or great calamity hap
pens to the family she ''feels it more
than the Others" Wonderful is Dick
ems delineation Of Mrs. Gummidge,
whom little Davy found such treasure
trove for his interested observation;
who, when the chimney smoked or the
potatoes failed, wept silently, because,
forsooth, 81 feels it more than others"
She is the girl at school who forever is
having her feelings hurt. Every sens1-
tive" say her friends; very self con-
scious,' sniff her critics.-Philadelphi

SPIDER SILK.
Its Wonderful Strength, Elasticity
md Lasting Quality.

The astronomer after the experience
of many years has found that the spi-
Ger furnishes the only thread which
can be successfully used in carrying
on his wolk, writes Ambrose Swazey
In the Scientific American.
The spider lines mostly used are from
one-tfth to one-seventh of a thousandth
of an inch in diameter, and, in addition
to their strength and elasticity, they
have the peculiar property of with
standing great changes of temperature,
and often when measuring the sun
spots, although the heat is so intense
as to crack the lenses Of the mcrome-
ter eyepiece, yet the spider lines are not
In the least injured.
The threads of the silkWOrm, al
though of great value as commercial
product. are so coarse and rough COM
pared with the silk Of the spider that
they cannot be used in such instru-
ments.
Spider lines although but fraction
of a thousandth of an inch in diameter,
are made up of several thousands of
microscopic streams of fluid, which
unite and form a single line, and it is
because of this that they remain true
and round under the highest magnify
ing power.

THE BLUE RACER.
1T Ts About the Fleetest Thing In the
Reptile Family.

1.-THE swiftest snake l have ever
known is the blue racer, as we used to
call the reptile in the Arkansas foot
hills, and I want to tell you this par
ticular snake can travel like a blue
streak" said man from Arkansas.
'"The fact is, the name blue racer was
given to the snake because of the rep
tiles fieetnesS. | have seen blue racers
dart across the road at such a rapid
pace that you could only see mere
suggestion of blue, and if you did not
happen to know the snake and it's hab-
it's you would not know what it was.
You could not possibly get the idea
that it was snake you had seen flash
through the dust of the country road
unless you knew something of the blue
racer. just what speed the snake
makes I do not know, but it is a rapid
pace The rattlesnake is supposed to
have good speed, and, as matter of
fact. the RATHER can Whiz along at
pretty swift gait, but the rattlesnake
Is not in j. with the blue racer. 1t
would be interesting to know just how
fast different snakes travel, and if we
knew dare say we would find that the
blue racer is about the feetest thing in
the reptile family" - New Orleans

TYPICAL FRENCH CHILD.
The Everyday Life of Girl Eleven
Years of Age.

Let me take Felice Boulanger (Which
isn't her name) as a typical French
child Of my experience, gained after
nearly three years residence in France.
She is one of five children ranging in
age from her brother of sixteen to the
youngest girl of six. Felice has skin
like the sheen of pearl (Which Is
marvellous considering the amount of
indigestible food she bolts five times
a day; big. deerlike eyes, long dashed;
daintily shaped but seldom clean hands;
thin rasping and petulant voice even
in her merriest mood, and a physique
like that of a starved and homeless cat
narrow chested, spider legged and
staminaless generally. Yet she seems
full Of yitality-nervous, irritable vital
ity-eats as much food as an English
navy, and certainly has, as my Ameri-
can lady friend says, "heaps Of sense
But to see the child eating is painful
though interesting in way.
An English girl Of eleven years OF
age, like Felice, would .a sent to bee
at, say. o'clock. Felice and her type
and her younger sisters sit down tt
dinner at $50 p. N. and stay up unit
IL or later, listening to the converse
ton of their elders.-LSuis Becke il

Paris Court Trials.

The demand for seats at Paris
court trial is utilized by the poor to
turn an honest franc. The courtrooms
usually admit of but forty visitors
other than the regular court officers. 1t
is common for a crowd to collect in
front Of the court many hours before
the door is open and wait patiently in
line. Just before the trial begins. when
the doors are open, these men, who
have perhaps been standing all night
