The mrule Of "a Tub"

One Of the most ancient of all sea
yarns" is one that ships have escaped
from the fearsome monsters of the
deep by throwing them tub to divert
their attention, in much the same way
that n lundsman might sacrifice Il gar
ment III order to escape II bull. In
MINISTER'S "Cosmography," published
in 1914, there is a picture Of a vessel
escaping from u whale by this STRATA
gem, while the earlier editions Of
Swift's tale of Tub" have Il similar
one. These stories We're usually told
In such an incoherent way that people
became skeptical Of their truth, and
when pleader named Tubb put IL
cause before Sir Thomas More In out
rageously rambling language that chan-
cellor jocularly remarked, Here is IL
tale Of u tub" Thereafter the express
sion became part of the slang of the
period until much later 1t was raised
to n higher rank by becoming the title
Of Swift's famous work.

Students of sociology who are fond
Of tracing back the customs Of latter
day man to the practices Of his re-
mote ancestry will note With interest
the fact that there is authority at least
GOO years old for the entry, "Steal not
this book for fear of shame" by which
schoolboys proclaim their ownership of
n work.
In a curious volume in the Bodleian
library, formerly belonging to the
monastery of Robertsbridge in Sussex,
is the following Inscription: "This
book belongs to st. Mary of Roberts
bridge. Whoever shall steal it OF sell
1t or in any way ALLEVIATE it, let him be
anathcma maranathu."
In the course of the fourteenth cen
fury the book came into the posses
sion of John, bishop of Exeter, who
seems to have been somewhat troubled
by the inscription as being likely to
give rise to injurious suspicious with
regard to himself. Accordingly he
wrote underneath 1t under date 1927,
II, John. bishop Of Exeter, know not
where the aforesaid house Is, nor did
l steal this book, but acquired it in a
lawful way."-London Advertiser.

STYLES In Africa.

The women bore hole in their top
lip and gradually increase this until it
is able to inclose disk Of wood two
and even three inches in diameter. A
AIubira woman came to call on US
whose disk measured two and five
eighths inches across. The size of the
wood inserted proclaims the rank of
the person. Peasants are only allowed
to wear pieces of stick of the same di-
mansions as a match.
The weight Of the wood causes the
lip to fall down over the mouth, and
in order to eat it is necessary to lift up
this shutter with one hand while the
other conveys the food to the mouth.
Frequently the lip breaks under the
strain put upon it, in which case the
disconnected ends are carried back and
tied to the car.-"On the Borders of

So Jess in her best business hand
wrote to the great timber merchants.
And two days went past.
And on the third morning David
Houston was sitting in the armchair,
his face in his hands, crushed and mis-.
cradle.
Jess, pale, but firm, was reading for
the third time the following typewrit-
ten words:

ment inclosed). which. you must be aware.

native hands, and letters are sent by
this means to ships in the ofiing when
other communication with the shore is
impossible. The catamaran requires
steering with paddle through the rag
ing surf, ana, though the boatman may
be frequently dashed out of the rude
skiff by the violence Of the waves, he
leaps into his frail bark again with the
efficiency of long practice, and the cata-
maran, flying over the crest of the
great pillows which threaten instant
destruction, accomplshes the pcrilous
voyage in safety.

"Oh, aye; Ecy busy"

"Oh, aye; gcy busy"
"Wlit's he worllin' Mt the noo?"
II think its his carnations the noo,"
he answered, and could have bitten off
his tongue the next instant. "Ye
muclile sumph! Ye aud eediot!' he
said TO himself. What did We tell her
.for." Then, pulling himself together,
he said aloud: AN he's had wheen
jobs ABBOTT the place. Deed, aye, he's
been gey busy the week, mistress"
Mrs. Wallace after a short pause said
cuttingly. IN tell We somethin', An
gus-yer master oclt to think shame O.
hissel."
Hoo daur ye?" he reared in sud
den passion.
But the visitor, as though she had not
heard him, hurried from the shop, bang
ing the door behind her.
Full Of Indignation, the old fellow
leaned trembling against the bench,
drawing fuiiously ut his empty pipe.
'Hoo daur she say sic thing?" lie
muttered again and again, for the adj
miration of his existence was centered
In David Houston. Angus had room
in his heart for only one other person
besides David, the other person being
his sister, year younger than him
self, but ten years frailer-in fact, an
invalid; hence the emptiness of his
pipe. His modest supply of tobacco,
purchased on Saturday, invariably
gave out by Wednesday night unless
supplemented, as now and then it was,
by n gift from his master. His weekly
wage was small, but he did little for it
except make an occasional mistake,
and David could not afford to pay him
more.
Mrs. Wallace had not intended visit
ing her niece that afternoon, but she
changed her mind on leaving the join
er's shop and set out in the direction
of the cottage, filled with the idea of
surprising David at his gardening and
delivering him lecture on sticking
to his last"
Passing through the village, she
caught sight of the grocer who was
standing ut his door modify survey
ing n dozen or so fowls that were
scraping, pecking or bathing in the
warm dust of the road. He appeared
to be the only wakeful parsonage in
the locality, the other shops in the row
having their doors partly or wholly
closed and their blinds drawn down,
for the afternoon steamer, the arrival
