In Perak, a state IN the Straits Set
Elements, the Malays have one form Of
amusement which is probably not to be
enjoyed anywhere else in the wide
world.
There is a hinge granite slope In the
course OF a mountain river, down which
the water trickles about two inches
deep, the main stream having carved
out a bed by the side OF the bowlder.
This rock, the face Of which has been
rendered ns smooth as glass by the con-
slant flow Of water during hundreds Of
years, the Malays-men, women and
children-haye turned into n toboggan.
Climbing TO the top Of the rock. they
sit IN the shallow water with their feet
straight out and a hand on each side
for steering and then slide down the
sixty feet into q pool Of water.
This Is a favorite sport on sunny
mornings, as many as 200 folks being
engaged at n time and sliding so quick.

Of two, four or even eight persons that
they tumble into the pool q confused

little danger In the game, and, though
some choose to sit on a piece Of plan

Nine. Myriam Harry. the Partisan

a good deal, described what evidences
OF affection are priced by men and
women Ia different countries. In Je-

said: Lucky wOmani Her husband

ry was told that there a husband was
not believed to love his wife properly
until he had made a present to her OF

she causes him to endure. Nine. Harry

III HORSE cHtslNur.
A Theory or Two rs 60 the Origin Of
Its Name.

A Theory OF Two rs 60 the Origin Of
Its Name.
The horse chestnut tree IS well
known, and the nuts nrc lean to boys
and sufferers from rheumatism. But
the statement was made lately. and 1t
is even found in some encyclopedias,
that the name is given OH of
its c%oarseness: Like a horse. or like
that Of u horse; hence. coarse and un-
refined" The reflection OH tho horse is
an unworthy one. but let that pass. Is
not the explanation given In Gcrarde's
Herbal $500 a more Aeasonable one?
"Called in English horse chestnut, for
that the people Of the east co.. ries do
with the fruit thereof cure thu. horses
OF the cough and such like Diseases"
There is a long list Of plants that
have animal prehxcs-horse, dog, cat,
bear, COW pig. wolf. mouse. rat. toad.
frog. dragon, snake, etc. In some In
stances the name OF an animal pre-
hxed has a totally different slgnilca-
ton, denOtlng size. coarseness and fire.
Quently worthlessness or spurious
ness" but names have also originated
from the particular uses to which cor
tain plants have been put, and the
horse chestnut Is an example. The
Turks, Arabians, P~erslans, all believ-
ed that these nuts cured horses Of
coughs, shortness Of wind and such
other ailments. In England Il prep0ra-
ton Of the nut was once used for
bleaching yarn.
Yet there may be something in the
statement of an Englishman. Al
fred A. MillwHrd: "The tree possesses
a feature which l have often found TO
be not generally known. II is n very
distinctly marked horseshoe, with sew
N dots corresponding to the nails Of
the horseshoe, and this appears at the
knuckle Of the branches, large and
small. but more clearly on the latter"

pretty maiden. th~oughtfully selecting

ply, because you're even nicer than
you used to be-"

said. I'm not Miss Preston-I never
saw you before. I'm here for the car
nival, and l lost my people in the
crowd this morning; and then you
came and-I know It was horrid Of

The pretty maiden and her parents
dined with friends that night, and the
pretty maiden went in to dinner with
Mr. Randolph, TO her unoOunded sur
prise. Mr.. Randolph looked a similar
feeling. Then they both laughed.
