Deodand Uatin, Dec dandus, to be
given to God) was formerly in English
law any agent or instrument by which
a person was accidentally killed and
which for that reason was to be given
to God-that is, forfeited to the king to
be applied to pious uses and its value
distributed in aims by his high almon-
er.
Thus a kind Of expiation was ar
ranged for such fatal accidents as
might be due to the fall Of ladder,
the toss of bull or the heavy wheel
Of cart, when the victim was, with
out any fault of his own, deprived of
the last sacraments of the church. The
right to these deodands, which were
abolished in 1916, was frequently
granted to individuals or annexed to
lands.
They are mentioned in "Hudibras:"
For love should, like deodand,
Still fall to the owner of the land.

Portland, Or, July 17.-One of the
most important of the many gather
ings in Portland this summer will be
the meeting of the National Irrigation
Congress next month. Through in
creased interest in matters pertaining
to irrigation, the scope of the congress
has been so enlarged that the work of
the forthcoming session will be. sys-
tematized by dividing it into five sec
tions, each conducted by a chairman
recognized as an eminent authority
in his line.
In the various sections information
will be dispensed regarding the in
creasing of production by irrigation
in the humid as well as in the arid
sections; forestry problems in New
England and along the Appalachian
chain, as we'll as along the Rocky and
Sierra Nevada mountains; engineer
ing applied to protect from devasta-
ton by floods; drainage of the sub
merged areas, directing and conduct
ing the water to its most bene-
ficial use; climatology and special
bureau throughout the United States,
and colonization of new areas devel-
oped through irrigation.
The respective section will be pre-
sided over by the following leaders:
Forestry, Clifford Pinchot bureau of
forestry, Washington, d. c.; produc-
tion by irrigation, DIR. A. c. True, ex-
pertinent station director, Washington.
d. c.. engineering and mechanics,
| Frederick H. Newell, reclamation SER
vice, Washington, d. c.; climatology,
| H. E. Williams, weather bureau,
| Washington, D. c.; rural settlement,
Charles w. Eberlein, land agent South
ern Pacific land department San
! Francisco.
In the engineering and mechanics
section will be held a gathering of the
| field engineers of the government
having charge of work on the great en-
terprises being carried forward under
| supervision of the reclamation serv-
! ice, and those yet to be taken up and
approved scattered throughout II
states and territories. Not only will
delegates have the chance to discuss
features of the work with engineers
engaged in the respective localities
but they will also have access to the
elaborate and comprehensive exhibit
of the reclamation service bureau in
the government building at the Lewis
and Clark exposition. This exhibit
contains many models, photographs
and other features showing the magni.
tude of the work undertaken by the
| reclamation service.

An English newspaper says that a
schoolmaster was in the habit of pun
ishing scholars who came late to
school in the morning by keeping
them in in the afternoon. One who
was five minutes late was kept in ten
minutes and so on in proportion. One
morning it .chanced that the school
master was half an hour late, and a
smart boy among his pupils was not
slow to remind him Of the fact I'm
very sorry for being late, boys" said
the schoolmaster, with twinkle in his
eye, land as punish you it's only fair
that you in turn should punish me, so
you will all stay and keep me in for an
hour this afternoon"

There are very few illusions to

these Is interesting. The birds have

English Prison Pits,

Prison pits were vaults in which
criminals in England were kept at
night, chained together. There was
one at Bristol which was in use as
late at 1915. Down eighteen steps, it
was only seventeen feet in diameter
by nine feet high, and seventeen men
were consigned to it every night. Even
more typical was Warwick Jail pit,
which was occupied at least until 1897.
1t was an octagonal dungeon twenty
one feet in diameter and almost nine
teen feet underground. In the middle
was cesspool, and beside it ran a
stream of water which served the pris-
oners for drinking purposes. To this
awful cell forty-two men were con-
signed every afternoon at 3:45, to re-
main there until after daylight the fol-
lowing morning. The inmates had to
sleep on their sides, and their jailer
never visited them without guarding
himself with an antidote against sick
ness

THE ENCORE.
Il Originated In France In the Seven
teenth Century.

teenth Century.
The beginning of the encore dates
back to some time between 1916 and
1909, probably about 1850, when Louis
XIV. demanded the repetition of GER
tain parts of an opera The opera was
by Corneille, Fontenelle and Boileau,
which was sung before his majesty.
and the king was so nleased with GER
tain parts that he asked to have them
repeated. 1t took fully a century for
the ordinary opera goers to obtain the
kings prerogative for themselves. 1t
came about in this way: Gluck had
produced an opera which had been a
failure; but, having rewritten the
worst parts, he produced it again. One
or two songs were accepted by the au-
dience with applause, and one in par
ticular was demanded a second time.
The most remarkable encores on rec
ord are those which were insisted upon
by the late king of Bavaria. Before he
was known to be insane, when merely
thought eccentric, he had plays per-
formed before him as the sole auditor,
the curtain rising at midnight. If he
liked the play he insisted on having it
repeated at once. But, unlike most en-
core fiends, he paid literally for them

The Snakes Tongue.

The snakes tongue proves to be a
most remarkable organ. A student
finds its chief function is connected
with a sense of feeling without touch
and may be a finer development of the
Bense that enables some people to avoid
striking obstacles in the dark. The
forked tip and the numerous folds be
hind it greatly increase the surface ex-

fine nerve fibers, which center in a
deep nerve plexus beneath the epider.

THE PRICE OF A LIFE.
How 1t Was Fixed Under the Old
Anglo-Saxon Laws.

Anglo-SaxOn Laws.
According to Anglo-Saxon laws, ev-
cry mans life, including that of the
king, was valued at fixed price, and
any one who took 1t could commute the
offense by a money payment upon a
fixed scale. The life of peasant was
reckoned to be worth 200 shillings, that
of man of noble birth 1900 shillings,
and the killing Of king involved the
regicide in a payment of 1900 shil
llngs.
1t has been pointed out that the heir
to the throne could thus get rid of the
existing occupant by numbering him
and thereafter handing over the fine,
according to the scale, to the excheq-
uer, when his offense would be purged
and his money would come back to
himself, for in those days the sover-
eign received all fines as personal per
quisites. There Is very little doubt
that these rough means were practical
ly applied in the case Of some rulers of
England in the preconquest PERIOD

The mixture should be used as a gar

THE RUSSIAN ICON.


II Is Simply Religious Picture
Blessed by a Priest.
An icon is simply a religious picture,
generally of little artistic merit, and
the subject usually represented is Ell
ther Russian saint, some event in the
life Of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary
In the Greek church, as in other Chris
tlan churches, the worship of craven
images is forbidden, but no objection
is made to anything reproduced on a
fat surface. Therefore icons are per-
mitted in the form of mosaics, paint
ings, enamels or prints. They play an
important part in the religious life of
the Russians and are to be met with
everywhere-in churches, public offices,
private houses and shops. A picture
to become an icon must be blessed by
a priest, and it Is then regarded not on
ly as an ornament, but as ap accessory
In the worship of the Greek church.
Icons are also worn on the person,
when they take the form of plaque
or book with two leaves. Almost ev-
cry soldier wears one on his bosom,
and when he prays he takes out his
icon and, opening it, kneels down be-
fore 1t as II 1t were portable altar.
Every regiment has its own icon,
which it carries as it would carry its
banner when the regiment goes into
battle.
