Hot Cross Bun Memorial.

At Bromley by Bow is. a public house

WHAT HE WOULD DO.
Colonel Hayes Hnd an Answer Ready
For General Scott.

Colonel Hayes End an Answer Ready
ENor General Scott.
OF ColoDel John c. Hayes, who
served with distinction under General
Winfield Scott i'll the Mexican war; an
amusing story is told by I. e. Parish
In his Gold Hunters of California;"
Hayes, with his command, had been
out scouting. On his return he made
no report to General Scott, who sent
for him. General Scott was yerita-
BILE martinez in enforcing military dis
cipline After Hayes was seated in the
commanders headquarters Scott said.
Colonel Hayes, | have received no re-
port of your expedition against the
padre 81 did not think it worth
while" said Hayes. Every officer of
the army is required to make full re-
port of everything to his superior Off
Ger. Please make your report verbal
""
Hayes began by saying that he struck
the PADRES trail on Il certain day, fol
lowed it for two days, and on the third
day, while his command was resting at
noon and taking their siestM, the old
padre came down on them. The boys
gathered themselves together and whip
ped the Mexicans off, killing quite a
number of the PADRES command. His
own loss was DISQUALIFICATION killed
and three wounded. Surprised you,
eh?" queried Scott Eyes; we were not
expecting him ''Where were your
piclletS:" did not have any,
WHAT shouted General Scott. "a
colonel i'll the regular army of the
United States go into camp in the
heart of the enemy's country and new
err place a picket on guard? What
would you do if surprised when
asleep" .'Shoot the first man that
walked me upr' was the cool reply.

A Fersistent Nest Builder.

One Of the most energetic nest build
ers is the marsh wren; in fact, he has
the habit to such q degree that he can
not stop with one nest, but. goes on
building four or five IN rapid success
sion. And there is nothing slovenly
about his work either. Look among the
cattails In the nearest marsh, even
within the limits of a great city, and
you will find his little woven balls Of
reed stems, with a tiny round hole in
one side. There Is a certain method
even in bis madness. for the nest In
which his wife Is brooding her seven
or eight eggs Is less likely to be found
when there are so many empty ones
around. Then, too. he uses the others

LEGENDARY DEVICES.
How Strange Animals ADpeared In
y. Heraldry In Old .Days.

1 How Strange Animnls Appeared In
Heraldry In Old Daya.
Early writer's on natural history sub
jects make mention Of many strange
creatures that never could have exist
ed save In the. superstitions mind Of
the age In which they wrote, and Of
the many that did exist the accounts
of their structure and habits are so
ludicrous that one may really wonder
II 1t was possible, even in the middle
ages, that people could be so crednous.
Maasss=aef these strangely gsarblea rec
Ords of the animal world were, no
doubt, due to travellers tales and prob
ably had a certain foundation in fact,
but IT Is difficult indeed to account for
the creation of such things as the phoe-
nix, the cockatrice, the wyvem, the
griffin and the dragon. The belief in
the existence Of the unicorn may have
originated from the fact of some of the
early African travellers meeting with
certain antelopes that had lost horn
for 1t is a popularity with most ante
lopes that their horns are never shed
and II injured or broken never grow
again.
The horn, growing out OF the fore
head, betwixt the eyelids, Is neither
light nor hollow nor yet smooth like
other horns, but hard as iron, rough as
any file, revolved into many plights;
sharper than any dart straight and
not crooked and everywhere black, ex-
cept at the point.
Bartholomew asserted that there
were many varieties OF unicorn, and
this would be feasible if this creature
had been created from those horned
beasts that had accidentally lost one
OF the horns.
II How the phoenix was called into be-
ing 1t would be impossible to hazard
guess. 1t was popularity supposed that
there was only one such creature exist
ing In the whole universe and that
there was only one tree In which it
built its nest. We find mention of the
phoenix rs far back as Pliny, who
says, "Howbeit, / cannot tell what to.
make Of him; and, first of all, whether
It be q tale or no, that is never but one
Of them In the whole world and the
same not commonly seem
In the fifteenth century we find Bar
tholomew writing Of this imaginary
bird:
Phoenix is a large bird, and there is
but one that kind in all the wide world,
therefore lewd men wonder thereof.
Phoenix Is a bird without make mate)
and hyeth 300 or 800 years. When
the which years he passed she feeleth
her default and feebleness and maketh
q nest Of sweet smelling sticks that be
full dry, and In summer when the
western wind bloweth the sticks and
the nest be set on fire with burning
heat of the sun and burnetli strongly"
The bird then allows itself to be re-
duced to ashes in this ffre-on this
point all the writer's agree and in due
course rises again from the ashes In
the full glory Of renewed youth s'and is J
the most fatrest bird that Is, most like
to the peacock in feathers, and loveth
wilderness and gathereth his meat of
clean green's and FRUITS
The basilisk, or cockatrice.. was re-
puted to be some strange mixture of
bird and serpent, able to STAY with his
breath and his sight which power was
accredited By some to dragons. est

TIE PUZZLE TANkARD,

1T Was Feature of the Seventeenth
Century Tavern.
"This is a puzzle tankard," said the
antiquary. TRY it,
The tanllard, of peculiar shape, with
odd little spouts protrnding from it in
unexpected places, was made of blue
glazed ware, and on it was scratched
the stanza:
From Mother Earth
! claim my birth;
I'm made joke for man.
But now I'm here,
Filled with good cheer.
Come taste me if you can.
The old man filled the vessel with
fair water, and the youth tried to drink
from it. He could not, though, succeed
To whatever spout he put his lips the
water refused to flow from that open
ing, flowing from half u dozen other
ones instead all over his face and neck
That's enough for me-" he said.
'"This puzzle tanlsard," said the anti
quarry, dates back to the seventeenth
century. Every tavern had one in those
days The landlord would fill it with
ale or sack or beer, and if you could
empty it down your throat you got
your drink for nothing. Otherwise you
must stand treat. Many a seventeenth
century laugh these puzzle tankards
must have caused.
1T was, You know, quite impossible,
unaided, to solve tankard's secret
The secret of this tankard of mine is
to place your little finger over the fur
ther spout, your thumb over that one
and your left hand thumb over the
bulb. Now you can drink, you see,
from the small underspout in comfort"
