KevhoId Tenure In London.

The curious custom of keyhold ten
ure still prevails at Crowland, the ia
nous abbey town In the Lincolnshire
fens, where there are a number of cot
tages which are neither copyhold, free
hold nor leasehold. They were origi-
nally built on waste land, and in each
case the possessor Of the key holds an
lndisputed tenancy. Although some Of
the occupiers have replaced the mud
and matched. dwellings of antiquity
with brick and slated buildings, they
have no power to sell or will them
away, for they have no deeds. On a
tenant dying the first person to cross
the threshold takes his place If he 50
desires. Many devices have been re-
sorted to to obtain the keys. The prop
critics carry county vote, but the poor
law guardians always refuse to grant
relief to the tenants.-London Globe.

A Peculiarly of Criminals.

Policemen, in spite of their trouble
in solving what appear to be more or
less simple problems, are fond of as
sorting that the ordinary criminal be-
trays an amazing lack or originality.
In support Of this they point out that
when a criminal is arrested after do
ing one stretch" the second charge
against him is generally for the same
sort Of crime. They explain this by
saying that each failure or each loss
shows the ''crook" some point of which
he had been ignorant, and it is easy
for him to convince himself that next
time he will avoid that mistake and
be successful. When he fails and is ar
rested the law shows him just where
he bungled, and the gamblers love of
taking a chance urges him to try his
luck at the old game once more. Then
there Is also always to be considered
the unconscious and gritty" determi-
nation to make success of the thing
anyhow.-New York Tribune.

British Army's First trousers.

Perhaps the army revolution of deep
est interest to the soldier himself was
that effected In 1923, when for the first
time he was put in trousers. The an
nouncement from the horse guards
took the following remarkable form:
"His majesty has been pleased to ap-
prove of the discontinuance of breech-
es, leggings and shoes as part of the
clothing of the infantry soldiers and of
blue gray cloth trousers and half boots
being substituted" In order to indem-
nifty the clothing colonels'' for any
hardship which the new order might
cause it was decided that these gentle
men should no longer be called upon
to provide the waistcoat Of Tommy,
but that Tommy should himself supply
it out of his shilling day. To reas-
sure him 1t was pointed out that he
was in a position to do so with COM
fort, because he would no longer have
to buy gaiters.-London Chronicle.

California has one tree which is the
personiflcation Of mystery. Found no.
where else in the world, 1t had mys-
terious origin and thrives in a region
of mystery. The Mojava yucca Is a
vegetable freak which has developed
into a species. 1t has the characters
tics of several plants, to which no re-

dogen, yet its bark shows concentric
rings such as characterize the exogen-
GUS stems. 1t lives and thrives in
great numbers in a region nearly de-
void of vegetation.-P. E. Magazine.

1t Was an Object Lesson on Playing
Cards With Strangers.
A card sharp well known to the
stewards of the great ocean liners was
a passenger on a recent trip across.
He received line at Queenstown,
which had the effect of keeping him
out of the large games in the smoking
room He contented himself with pc
nuchle and bridge at % cents a hun

landing one of his bridge party, none
Of whom knew that he was a profess

changing the game to poker. Its
bad practice" said the card sharp, ''to
play poker with strangers. There's too
much risk, but it's all right in this
case" The others said there was no
risk If man had good sense and kept
his eyes open. The deal fell to the pro-
feSsional, and when cards had been
drawn by each man he said: Nov
I'll show you how much you know
Mr.. A, you have the winning hand.
Mr.. B, your three queens look good,
but what show have they against Mr.
C's four fives? And what good are

THE SCHOONER.
Where the Fore and After Beats ths
Square Bigger.

Where the Fore and After Beats the
Square Bigger.
The ability of the schooner to meet
the requirements of present day con.
ditions, while the square Triggers have
been found wanting, can be readily
understood when we take into consid-
GRAFTON the numerous advantages pos
sessed by the fore and aft rig that are
essential to the ideal carrier.
Operating expense, that prime factor
in all transportation problems, is here
reduced to a minimum, for there is no
motive power so cheap as the free
winds of heaven and no other craft SO
well adapted to utilize and control this
force. The sails are of handy form
and can be readily handled from the
6eck by a handful of men or with
steam power If desired. The schooner
can sail several points nearer the eye
Of the wind than a square rigger is
able to do.
Built on the old clipper model, they
sail like witches and owing to their
peculiar constructions can be readily
loaded and discharged They require
but little ballast and having no heavy
top hamper can, if necessary to the
trade, take on immense deck loads.
In the lumber traffic Of the Pacific
northwest we find these vessels leav-
ing port with huge deck loads tower
ing ten to fifteen feet above the rail-
Occasionally they get caught in a blow
and have to sacrifice a portion of the
deck load, but where one meets such
a mishap dozens reach their designa-
tons safely and land their cargoes in
tact.-James G. McCurdy in Outing
Magazine.

THE AIR BRAKE.
It Was Ushered Into Actual Use In
Most Dramatic Fashion.

Most Dramatic Fashion.
The air brake was ushered into actu-
al use in most dramatic fashion. The
trial trip occurred in April, 1869. The
train selected was the Steubenville ac-
commodation, running between Pitts
burg and Steubenville, o.
When the train was going at full
speed, suddenly as he came around a
sharp curve the engineer saw stalled
wagon in the middle of the track dead
ahead. With only hand brakes moth
ing could have prevented terrible
smashup. The formal time for the
trial of the air brake had not come,
but the brake was there, and in des-
peration, not believing for a moment
that the thing could possibly avail, the
engineer threw on the air. But it did
avail.
The observers in the rear were al
most catapulted out of their seats by
the shock of the sudden stop. But
when they saw the engine fairly polk
ing its nose into the wagon bed, so mar
row had been the margin between
safety and disaster, they forgot all
about their shock and stood in awed
silence. The air brake had come into
its own.-Everybody's Magazine.

The Barbecue.

The word barbecue" is derived from
the Spanish word "barbacao" and is a
native Haitian term for a wooden
framework supporting meat or fish to
be smoked or dried over a fire. In
its popular sense it means large So
cial or political entertainment in the
open air at which sheep or oxen are
roasted whole and all the feasting is
on most liberal scale. Georgia is
probably the native home Of the bar
becue and is called the Barbecue State.
Who prepared the first barbecue Is IN
known. Deer, bear and other game
constituted the meat roasted in the
barbecues Of fifty years ago.-Cincn-

Queer MARRIAGES.

In southern India marriage with IN
animate objects is not altogether I'M
known. A man who has lost two
wives and wishes to marry another
will go through a formal marriage
ceremony with plantain tree, which
is afterward cut down. This stands
for the third marriage. which is con
sidered inauspicious. and the man feels
free to make fourth marriage with a

To cut bread into dice before frying,
if it is to be used as croutons, is not
the most approved method. When done
in this way it becomes very hard and
indigestible. The bread should rather
be cut into thin slices and then stamp
ed out in circles a little larger than u
quarter or cut into squares Of about
the same size or in oblongs two inches
long and over one-half inch thick.
These tossed into hot lard and taken
out almost instantly in the frying
basket are the most palatable.

People who really know nothing
about it used to say that elephants
never lie down to sleep. This Is not
true at all, says one writer. They have
been known to stand for twelve
months without lying down to sleep.
This is regarded as want of confidence
in their keepers and Of longing to re-
gain their liberty, for when they are
perfectly at ease and reconciled to
their fate they will lie down on their
sides and sleep peacefully.

Il PAYS to Advertise.

A theatrical manager was holding
forth on the value Of publicity the 9TH
er day and pointed his moral with this:
when the teacher was absent from
the schoolroom, Billy, the mischievous
boy of the class, wrote on the black
board:
Billy Jones can hug the girls bet
ter than any boy in school,
Upon her return the teacher called
him up to her desk.
William, did you write that?' she
asked, pointing to the blackboard.
Yes, ma'am,' said Billy.
"'Well, you may stay after school,
said she, as punishment
''The other pupils waited for Billy to
come out, and then they began guying
him.
"'Got a licking, didn't you?
Nope said Billy.
"'Got jawedP
"'Nope.'
"'What did she do?' they asked.
"'Shan't TELL said Billy, but it pays
to advertise '-Des Moines Register
