A CURIOSITY IN BOOKS.
The Famous Chained Library of
WimbOurne, Ireland.

The Famous Chained Library of
Wimbourne, Ireland.
Wimbourne, ireland, is noted for
many things, but its famous chained
library is perhaps the most notable of
its curiosities. The library possesses
unique interest as being one of the
earliest attempts to disseminate knowi
edge among the people. The collection
was made accessible to the people III
1856 and numbers some 200 volumes.
The scarcity of books and the value of
the collection are both indicated in the
care taken for their preservation, and
especially against loss of such treas
ures by theft. BY means of chains
and rods the books were securely faS.
tened to the shelves, and these chains,
it is rather surprising to learn, were
not removed until 1857, when the Ii
Drary fittings were repaired. Among
the interesting works of the collection
is copy Of the first edition of Sir
Walter Raleigh's "IIistory of the
World" 1914. 1t has suffered from fire,
and tradition says that Matthew Prior
was responsible for it's condition, the
story being that he fell asleep when
reading it once upon a time, and the
pages were burned by his candle. 1t
has been neatly repaired, and it's mis-
hap now adds to it's interest. The old
est volume in the library is fine old
copy in yellum of "Reginum Aninna-
rum" 1t is in manuscript and bears
the date 1343.

THE LONDON CosTER.
He Is the King of the Curb In the
British Metropolis.

He Is the King of the Curb In the
British Metropolis.
London's outdoor man is the coster.
He is the Ishmael of the cutters. A
very jolly Ishmael, it is true, who is
more than content to acknowledge the
line of demarcation between himself
and the true cockney. But, neverthe-
less, in modified, twentieth century
way he is still the wild man whose
mans against his. He is probably the.
last remnant of the worlds old race of
wanderers-the last suggestion of the
primitive man-left to the cities. He is
to us town jewellers what the gypsy is
to the countryside. His descent seems
to spring from the same rowing stock.
And he is. regarded, from safe dis
lance, with the same contempt by
those who don't know him. His habits
and his impulses still SAVIOR strongly of
the days when tribe Warred against
tribe and every mans arm was for
himself and his clan. And, although
his pitch is below the curb, his caravan
a barrow and his beast of burden a
Russian pony,'a donkey or himself, he
is as free and exclusive as any other
lusty scion Of the people who live under
the skies. Ishmael he is, and Ishmael
he chooses to remain. And the chances
are ten to one that whoever goes a-fish-
ing for information among the barr ows
will come back with an empty creeI OF
a fine show of fishermens tales, for
your coster knows both how to keep
silence and how to use his tongue pic
turesquely in defense of his jealousy

economies of his existence Outing

TRIAL BY ORDEAL.
The Queer System That Exists I'm the
Sinai Peninsula.

The Queer System That Exists In the
Sinai Peninsula.
In the Sinai peninsula trial by ordeal
is still practiced. In all criminal cases
where no witnesses are forthcoming
the judge, eel mabashaa," tests the
suspected person by fire, by water or
by dream. In the first the judge places
an iron pan in the fire until it is redhot
and gives it to the accused to touch
three times with his tongue, If marks
of burning are shown on the tongue
the accused is pronounced guilty. The
theory apparently is that if he is not
guilty the moisture on the tongue pre-
vents it from being burnt; if guilty his
tongue would dry up from fear of be-
ing discovered.
The test by water is described as fol
lows: 1.-THE 'mabashaa' sits with the
accused and the spectators in circle
with copper jug full of water placed
in the center. This jug is then made
to appear to move round the circle by
means of witchcraft or hypnotism. If
the jug returns back to the judge the
accused is pronounced not guilty, but
if the jug stops opposite the accused
he is pronounced guilty"
This description is rather wanting in
detail and it is difficult to know how
jug which only appears to move can
be a trustworthy index. In the test by
dream the "mabashaa" sleeps and sees
in a dream if the accused is guilty or
not.-Chicago News.

1t Is Rapidly Becoming an Apartment

The American parlor is thing of the
past, according to architects, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer No more will
there be a room reserved for state oc=
casions, such as the receiving of form
al calls, the visit of the minister and
for weddings and for funerals.
eve never take the parlor into con-
sideration any more, said a Cleveland
architect recently. ''The parlor is
merged into the living room. The good
old fashioned parlor, which was held
in so much reverence in the old days,
has no place in modern architecture.
''The demand is for a large living
room in q small house, together with
dining room and kitchen. In d larger
house there is usually a large living
room, library, den dining room and
Kitchen.
Il had a client yesterday who desired
to have a reception room or parlor not
connected with the living room. He
decided later to have a sort of recep-
ton room in connection with the hall
way
when the parlor idea began to lose
ground we did not make a radical
change, but reduced the parlor to .
small reception room, isolated from tie
others, where formal calls could be re
ceived Now we make no provision
for the parlor
In these days the reception rooms
Go not have to be closed only to be
opened on the occasion of the visit OF

the passing of the old fashioned coun
try parlor, with all its memories of Wis
itors, courtship and occasions which
left impressions which have not been
eradicated by the strenuous age of to-
day.
