On their arrival in New Zealand
according to London Tit-Bits, party
of English people drank the health OF
the vessel which had brought them
safely to their destination. One of the
gentlemen who was asked to join IN

MutlIate Art Treasures.

Authorities who have in charge
some of England's ancient treasures
try to discourage the habit of carving
initials on these relics. A fine of $15
was recently imposed on a man who
had Clipped his name in letters six
inches high on one of the stones in the
"Druids' Circle" near Keswick. Close
to the giant stone globe at Swanage
a special slab is provided for the
harmless reception of the names of all
who are addicted to this self-advertise-
ment. On popular Alpine SUBMITS

Will Not Supply Pigs.

Bacon curers are usually among the
most prosperous firms in Belfast, but
they have had to warn the farmers
throughout the north not to kill any
more pigs until the strikes are settled
for it is impossible to handle the car
casses. Business has thus been divert
ed to other Irish bacon-curing centers'
although the majority Of farmers have
simply respited their pigs and are
making no attempt to supply the mar
ket. Danish bacon factories will thus

Terms That Seem Strange.

There are many puzzling differences
between Scottish and English law
terms. For instance, bankruptcy is
in Scotland "an act of sequestration.
a solicitor is either writer" or
law agent" the argument In case
is the debate" and assizes is the
Jury, a wrongdoer is delinquent" an
idiot-in Scottish LAWS "a fatuous
person." and burglary is with true
Scottish caution). "housebreaking

thor is, in Scotland, not a person who
writes. but the vender or seller Of real
property, from whom the title to it
is derived.

STANDARD OIL OFFICIAL

Charles M. Pratt, who has been giving the
most startling evidence in the suit to bust" the
Standard Oil trust, is one of the younger men
who has done in comparative obscurity the real
work of the great trust. So carefully has he
avoided the limelight, that few people have ever
heard of him, although he has long been direct
or and secretary of the company.
To the surprise of everyone, Mr.. Pratt has
been frank witness. He admitted that when
the Standard Oil Co. of Ohio dissolved
by the courts, it was simply reorganized. The
stockholders of the old company were the stock
holders of the new, and each held his proportion
of the stock. 1t was the same company under
a new name.

Large Supply OF Bass.

Many of the pot hunters who have been
driven out of business. it is stated are
employing their time operating small nets

fishing a. much attention as they did to
the operation of their big guns it is be-
lieved local dealers in marine products

work. Dealers are getting large shipments
of bass and quite number of white
perch and rock from the Potomac fisher
men. Bass were sold at 10 cents a pound
a few days ago. but they are now retailing
at IL and 20 cents. White perch are
bringing about the same prices as the
bass, while rock fish are bringing as much
as 20 cents d pound. Salt water fish are
bringing their usual prices. Oysters are
fairly plentiful, but the best bivatve5 are
high.
