RELIGION AND BOYCOTT.
It Is the Rule That Moon Cakes Of
China Must Be Made OF Amer
lean Flour.

The fierce struggle to which the boy
colt has given rise mas now entered
the sphere of religion and concerned
itself with ceremonial observances.
Everybody in China knows OF the
great moon feast held about the mid
die of September. One Of the spe-
cial features Of this feast is prepare
rtion of a peculiar species of moon
cakes. which are very popular with all
classes. In the preparation of these
cakes for many years the finest quail
ity of American -four has been used.
1t has now. been decided by the wom-
en- of Canton, whose business it is TO
attend to these matters. that they will
not buy any cakes made of. this flour,
but will content themselves with fried
rice cakes instead.
Moreover, in regard to the cakes
usually presented to the servants, it
has been decided that money shall be
given instead. Indeed, through the me-
dunn of the planchette, the far-famed
god Of war has made known his will
in the matter, and has warned all to
keep from the orthodox luxury or they
will incur q, fierce displeasure.
In addition to this most important
decision, it has been decided that at
weddings and such felicitous occasions
the same rule shall apply.

Invention Of Whisky.

The name of the man who first stag

whisky is lost in the mists Of the mid
die ages and all the ingenuity Of counsel
now employed in trying to find out what
whisky is has failed to disclose his iden-
tity. The fiery potion was known in
England in the eleventh century, in
Scotland not till the fourteenth. But
Scotland made up for lost time. She

MATTER OF PRONUNCIATION
The Word "Frieze' as Applied to
Irish Tweed Is Not
Correct,

Is it too late to make stand against
the mispronunciation of the word frieze
as applied to Irish tweed? On the other
side Of st. Georges channel, says the
London Chronicle, they know better
than to confuse their wall decoration
with their dress material, and pronounce
the one freeze" and the other .frise."
So did we, in old England. Originally
meaning the curling nap on cloth-from
the French "friser," to curl; Welsh,
iris" nap Of cloth-frize, as it was
then spelt and pronounced, came to
mean cloth that had a nap on one side
and is now applied to any rough kind of
homespun. We can be sure of the old
pronunciation from the motto worn by
Brandon, duke OF Suffolk, when, on his
marriage with Henry Wits sister. he
appeared at a tournament on a horse
draped half in "frieze" and half in cloth
of gold:
Cloth Of gold, do not thou tfespise.
Though thou be matched with cloth of
frize:
Cloth of frize, be not thou too bold.
Though thou be matched with cloth OF
gold.

Deer's Strange Necklace.

< Strange accidents will sometimes
happen to deer" writes Scotch hunt
er. "a hind in Caithness came to some
crofter's hut near the forest and was
poking about to see if there was any
thing she could pick up. when she found
an old tin pail lying in some QUITO the
way corner. In went her nose and down
came the handle behind her ears. Then,
somehow, the whole pail slipped down
her neck and there she was, caught.
She was seen several times with her
strange necklace, which prevented her
from drinking or feeding properly. The
clatter when she got under way was
tremendous and the other deer were
frightened for miles. Several unsuc-
cessful attempts were made on her life,
but never heard the sequel. Anyhow,
she must have died soon from nervous
prostration coupled with the shock, or
from some ladylike disease of that sort. .

EARTHQUAKES in China.

Very curious were some of the ex-

felt at Hongkong, Canton and Macao.
The Hongkong Daily Press tells about
them: THE famous dragon whose
privilege it has been to give an .occa-
sional shock to the earth's crust is not
held responsible for the recent scare
in Macao and elsewhere. Some Chi
nese attribute the last shocks to the
water-dragon of Canton, whose anger
has been raised by the reclamation
works. Coolies are dumping daily

These motor skates have attracted
much attention, but the inventor, Mon
steur Constantine, intends to devote
more time In improvements before he
places them upon the market. He
claims, however, that the wonderful
tales Of the seven league boots will
dwindle almost into insignifcance
when the motor skates become the
popular rage.
The skates, as at present construct
ed, weigh about sixteen pounds and
will cost about 500. Each skate is
propelled by motor of one and one
fourth horse power, SUFFICIENT to give
the wearer an opportunity to attain a
speed of from six to thirty miles an
hour.
They are roller skates. the wheels
being eight inches in diameter and
this recillience Of the solid tires is
supplemented by special compensat-
ing suspension, which takes the place
of springs. The gasoline and accumu-
lators are carried in belt, which is
strapped around the waist, flexible
wires connect the belt with the mo-

A careless young fellow was often

needless risks he ran of falling victim

sured that If he continued to display his
watch and chain SO negligently they
would inevitably be taken away.

of the son; I'm much too wide-awake
for that to happen"
One evening the father offered to take
his son to theater, and the opportunity
was eagerly embraced.
well, are your watch and chain all
right?" asked the father when he and
his son were comfortably seated.
"Of course they are" was Jacks
amused reply. But when he began to
feel in his pocket his smile disappeared,
and he shamefacedly confessed that his
watch was gone.
'Ha, hal" laughed the father.
Weren't you much too wide-awake for
that to happen? But perhaps you'd
like to know that took it, simply to
prove to you how easy it is for man to

THE EVENING TINES, GRAND FORKS, n. D.
HIS HOLINESS THE MAYOR
London omcial Hal Robes Of State,
i Four Swords and Holds Many
Dignities.

The attitude OF the average New York
er toward the mayor Of his city con.
trasts curiously with that of the average
Londoner toward the lord mayor.
The Office Of the lord mayor Of Lon
don is hedged about with the most
elaborate. formalities. He has gowns Of
scarlet, violet and black for various oc-
caslons and train bearer. The lady
mayoress is attended by maids of
honor; her train is borne by pages in
costumes. In the city his lordship takes
precedence Immediately after the SOW
ereign.
When the king visits the city the lord
mayor meets him at Temple Bar and
hands him the sword of state, which he
returns to him. This quaint feudal cere-
mony was strictly observed at the jub-
il1eSO 1897.
His lordship has the choice of four
swords-the sword of state, for supreme
occasions; the pearl sword, for cere-
monial functions, and the black sword,
borne on the death of member of the
royal family or when attending funeral
services. The fourth sword is hung
above the lord mayors chair at the CEN
trail criminal court.
There are other emblems of Office
the diamond scepter, the seal, the purse
and the mace. They play an important
part at the swearing in Of the lord
mayor-elect.
The city chamberlain, with three
obeisancess. presents the scepter to the
retiring lord mayor. He in turn de-
hvers it to his successor, who lays it on
the table in front of him. The chamber
lain retires with three more reverences,
to return with the seal-and three rever-
ences more. The purse is similarly pre-
sented.
Further genuiexions follow from the
swordbearer, who renders up the
sword; the macebearer also resigns the
mace. The former lord mayor then sur
renders his key to the Golfer in which the
seal is kept.
There are three keys. OF the other
two one is held by the chamberlain, the
second by the chairman of the lands
committee. To unlock the Golfer all
three must be produced.
Though this complex ceremonial may
seem sadly belated, it has it's great his
toric interest. 1t implies the sovereign
power and authority in ancient times of
the chief magistrate of the city. The
scepter, sword and mace are emblems
of royalty.
The lord mayor was a merchant
prince in fact as well as by name He is
still, by virtue Of his Office, admiral of
the port of London, gauger of wine and
oil and other gaugable articles, meter OF
Goals, grain, salt and fruit, and inspector
Of butter, hops, soap, cheese and other
articles coming into thesport of London.
Needless to say, these duties are per-
formed by deputy.
He is, to mention but one or two
more Of his dignities, a governor of
four hospitals, trustee of st. Paul's
cathedral and magistrate Gin several
places" Perhaps his most curious Of
flee, next to that Of admiral Of the port.
is that of coroner. Here again the func-
, ton is only nominally his.
No troops may pass through the city
without the lord mayors consent. The
password of the tower is sent to him.
He IS entitled to enter at any hour, day
or night.

Use Of Hops.

The English were taught the use OF
hops by native Artois, who intro
ducsd them into England in 1924.
They met with some hostility, for
physicians represented them as un-
wholesome, and parliament was petit
toned against them as a wicked
weed" In 1928 their use was prohib-
tied under severe penalties. Henry
VIII. appears to have been prejudiced
against hops, for in manuscript
dated Ethan, January, 1880, occurs an
injunction to his brewer mot to put
hops or birthstone" into the ale.
