heard the origin OF the quaint cus-
tom?
Years ard years ago, in the times
when men wore heavy iron clothes
and iron pots for hats, and people
like Robin Hood really lived outside
of story books. men were wild and
lawless. Education was sadly ne
elected, and about the only thing that
men really knew Well was how to
fight and to defend their rights.
The poor stood little chance OF
justice, for the law courts were few
and far between, and seldom fair
and SO by some of the higher class
people who had learned to know
some law and order places of refuge
were provided for the prosecuted
poor. These sanctuaries were some
times in the churches, or perhaps in
the kings own house. They were
called the Kings Cross" or the
Kings X" and it is from these that
the boys and girls of to-day get the
idea Of making a cross with their
fingers as a sign of safety.-Wash.

An Old Observatory.

The observatory on Munjoy Hill, in
Portland, passes into the centenarian
class this year. 1t was erected in
the spring of 1907, when the now
thickly populated section surrounding
it was an immense pasture, in which
the families of the city kept their
cows, and from which the boys Of
the city drove them home through the
street at evening. For one hundred
years it has been one of the city's
most prominent landmarks; it has
witnessed many scenes of festivity
which took place beneath its walls; it
has served in the privateer days Of
1912 to announce to the townspeople
the sailings and the winners of Port
lands ships, and throughout the days
OF our highest commercial and mari
time prosperity it has flown the pri-
vate flags of the city's most success.

compelled her to work from eighteen
to twenty hours a day. The magistrate
ruled that the joint earnings OF pro
duction of husband and wife are, I'm.

the common good of family. Yet
the State does not contemplate that
where wife both rears family and
aids in her husbands affairs she shall
have less protection both as to her
income and strength than an emplOye.
AS matter of reason she should have
more protection. Without having speci-
fed support of the law for his ruling,

A CUTE COLLIE DOG.

A butcher in the great meat market
has a customer who owns fine COL
lie dog. The dog arrived one day
at the market with a slip of paper in
his mouth. The dog dropped the
piece of paper. which proved to be an
order from the collie's master for a
small piece Of meat. He gave the
dog the meat Day after day the
dog came with'like orders. until at
last the butcher took them for
granted, and eacn time sent the ami
NAL home with a piece Of meat. At
ter two months the butcher sent his
customer bill for the meat which
he had supplied the dog. But the
collie's master Informed the butcher
that ne had given the dog only a
dozen orders, whereas the animal
mad rece;:.>. n 7sast fifty pieces OF
meat. The dog WEE carefully watched,
and it was discoveries that the cum
ming beast, when he was hungry,
would lay hold of am piece Of white
paper he could find and run off with
it to the meat market, obtaining for

tanned leave to go and get married
He received pass for the journey
there and back. On the return jour-
ney, being rather flustered, the bride
groom pulled out his marriage certifi-
cate instead of the railway pass and
showed it to the ticket collector. The
latter, Scot, looked long at the GER
tificate in perplexity, and then said:
'Eh. mon, you've got ticket for a
lang. weary journey, but no on the

THE FORESEEING MUSKRAT.

In the month of March, before the
rivers have opened, on the snow
around the heads of the creeks and
about the air-holes in the thick ice
may be seen the curious trail of the
muskrat. 1t can be readily recog-
nized by the firmly planted foot
marks, heavily and slowly impressed,
and the sharp afterdrag of the long,
scaly. blade-like tail.
All through the cold winter
months these heavily furred animals
have lived warm and comfortable in
their well-constructed houses, rear
ing their third and last litter One
house erected about September
seemed planned with almost human
foresight. Here with their long
sharp teeth and strong, inch-long
claws they had cut and cleared wide
paths through all the marshes
paths so deep that three feet of ice did
not close them, so wide that we have
often padded among them, marvel
ing at the great floating masses of
torn-up aquatic vegetation.
These paths were hundred yards
long and four feet wide and were
cut through mass of tangled cover
high enough in most places to thor
oughly conceal a duck hunter and
his canoe.
In the winter months the musk
rats can easily dive from their houses
into these under-ice channels, and
the whole marsh is before them. The
long yellow roots of the wild onion
(the muskrat apple is the more po-
etc Ojibway) hang exposed before
them or are readily torn olt.-From
fHuntins the Muskrat with a Cam
era" by Bonnycastle Dale in the Out

THE MAN IN THE MOON.

There is a quaint tradition about
how the belief in the man in the
moon originated that is worth retell-
ing.
Like so many of these beliefs, it
began way back in Bible times and
in quite another dress. BY many ma
lions the old man Is supposed to be
the one who first made his appear
ance in the book of Numbers (chap-
ter XIV, verse 32). Then he was found
by the children of Israel gathering
sticks on the Sabbath day. He was
taken before Moses and condemned
to death. He was taken later out
side the camp and stoned until he
died. One would think that was
punishment enough even for so aw-
full a crime, but superstition took
him to the moon, where. with bunch
Of sticks on his tired old back, he
was destined to climb forever up the
shining hill and never reached the
top. The story goes that his faith
full dogs were permitted to share his
fate, and if you look carefully when
the night is clear and dark you will
see the pair toiling away upon their
endless climb.
The face of the old man also grew
out of the old-time tradition, but the
figures are quite plain if one puts on
the glasses of Imagination. -Wash''
