The Modernlty of trousers.

1t will assuredly seem more than
strange that within the last hundred
years the wearing Of trousers has
been regarded even as irreligious. The
fact that in October, 1912, an order
was made by St Johns and Trinity
Colleges that every young man who
appeared in hall or chapel in panta-
looms or trousers should be considered
as absent is startling enough; but 1t
would appear that eight years later
the founders of Bethel chapel at Shelf
field inserted a clause in the trust
deed ordaining the under no circum-
stances whatever. shall any preacher
be allowed to occupy the pulpit who
wears trousers" This is striking, but
1t is even more impressive to find that
the Rev. Hugh Bourne, one of the
two founders of the Primitive Metho-
dist Connection, said of his co-found-
er, THAT trousers-wearlng, beer-drink-
ing Cloves will never go ITO heaven"
And it would need student OF "the
Brooches Bible'' to say precisely when
this assumed connection between
theology and trousers began and
where the departure from 1t will end.

Sea of Oranges.

A sea covered with oranges Is one
of the unusual attractions near this
city, at the mouth OF the Santa Clara
River. Thousands upon thousands of
oranges floating ON the oceans sur
face, many of them strewing the
beach, give an indescribably beautiful
golden hue to the sea.
There was wonder for some time
as to how the oranges got into the
sea- The belief was general that
they came from washed out orchards
in the east end of the county. owing
to the high storm waters in the riv-
er. This is not the case, however.
The oranges were deliberately thrown
into the Sespe Creek from the Sespe
River twenty-five miles back from
the coast. From the sespe they found
their way back into the Santa Clara
River and thence into the sea.
The oranges are from the great
packing houses in the Sespe country.
They are known as culls, but most OF
them are good, or were when dumped
off the bridge. 1t is claimed that
only the best oranges can be shipped
and sold.-Ventura correspondence

When Debtor. Were 1mprl.oned.

When Debtors Were ImprisOned.
In nearly every country, until COM
paratively recent times, debtors have
been subject to Imprisonment After
the panic of 1925, one hundred and one
thousand writs for debt We're issued In
England. In 1880, seven thousand per
sons were sent to London prisons for
debt, and on January /, 1910, seventeen
hundred persons were held for debt in
England and Wales, one thousand In
ireland, and less than one hundred In
Scotland. From time to time modifi-
cations in the laws governing the i'm
prisonment of debtors have been made,
soe that fewer debtors ARE imprisoned
for this crime eachtyear. Y,
In 1929 there, were three thousand
debtors in prison In Massachusetts, ten
thousand In New York, seven thousand
in Pennsylvania, three thousand In
Maryland, and a like proportion In
other States Many of these persons
We're Jailed for debts of one dollar, The
law providing for the Imprisonment of
men who could not pay their debts as
shown to be impracticable by statistics
taken from Philadelphia, where In 1928
there were one thousand and eighty
five debtors imprisoned for debts
amounting to twenty-five thousand dol
lars. The expense of keeping these
persons in confinement was three hun
idred and sixty-two thousand dollars
which was paid by the city, and the
amount recovered by this method was
two hundred and ninety-fiye dollars.
Imprisonment for debt was abolished
by Congress in the United States in
1888, though this measure was not fully
enforced until 1880.

nDrunk" in French.

The French have some interesting
SMILES of their own corresponding to
our drunk as lord' or drunk as
wheelbarrow." The most generally
recognized one is the case of "ivre,"
the less extreme and less vulgar word
for drunk" is "ivre CONNIE une
soupe'-"soupe" meaning the piece of
bread eaten with soup as well as the
soup itself, and "bouillion" soaked
piece OF bread offering a natural ST.
mile for saturation. When the less
delicate "soupe' is used instead of
"ivre" the Frenchman may speak of
being as drunk as an ass, cav. a
Swiss or thrush. The allusion in
the last case is to the fondness OF

at vintage time to make them an
