In,the early days Of New Lhg1hd II
vas the custom 10 keep the Sabbalh
from shutdown Saturday night until
the snne hour on Sunday. That this
practice was attended by pitfalls IS
shown by an incident told in THE Pa

There lived I'm Ryeheld thrifty
dame. an enterprlslng. driving woman
and notable housewife The good wo-
man was not willing TO lose Sunday
evenings ont Of her catalogue of house
work. but she was pious withal and
strictly kept the day 10 the sunset
limit. As soon as the sun was fairly
below the horizon she would begin her
washing and get her clothes ready for
drying bright and early on Monday
morning.
One cloudy Sunday she, supposins
the day was ended, changed her sun
day gown. rolled up her sleeves ana
went TO work. As she was scrubbing
away In the kitchen. her face toward
the west window. the clouds suddenly
broke. and the great round sun shone
In full OH the poor SabbatH breaker NJ
work. She gave one cry Of amaZement
and horror and fed the kitchen.
After that sinful day she never be-
gan her work on Sunday evening.

A Slap at Mother.

Dinner was done, and the family was

and knees trying TO act like a horse
while little Willie drove him around
the floor.

lady, glancing toward her husband

Natures Vengeance.

Pliny informs us that twelve clties
IN Asia Minor were swallowed up IN
one night. In the year 115 the city OF
Antioch and great part Of the ADA
rent country were buried by an earth
quake. About 800 years after II was
again destroyed. along with 10000 In
habitants. and after an interval OF SIX
ty wears was third time overturned
with the loss OF not less than 5000
souls. In 1892 the city of Port Royal,
In Jamaica. WAC destroyed by ali earth
quake. and the houses sank into gulr
forty fathOms deep. In 1893 an earth
quake occurred in Sicily which either
destroyed or greatly damaged nfy-
four cities. The city OF Catalonia was
utterly overthrown, 10000 inhabitants
of the city perishing In the ruins. In
1855 Lisbon was destroyed by an
earthquake. and It buried under Its
ruins above $4,000 inhabitants. In Au-
gust. 1922. twO-thirds OF the city OF
Aleppo. containing population OF 2oO'-
900. were destroyed by an earthquake.
Thirty thousand OF its inhabitants were
buried in the ruins.

Undodgeable Taxes.

governments were wiser. They levied
taxes that could not be sworn on.
There was. for instance, the English
birth tax NJ the seventeenth century.
A laborer paid shillings as birth tax;
duke paid $50. You couldn't get
round it,
"Burials were taxed. according TO
the station Of the dead. from shilling
to f25. That. too. could not be lodged.
Marriages were taxed. A duke TO
marry paid $50; common person
Ike yourself, paid half a crown.

The sanctity OF the speaker Is an In
violable law of parliamentary England
yet once the necessities OF the nation
were SO great that an assault and bat
terry had to lie made upon his sacred
person. It was I'm the third parliament
Of Charles /. that the angry commons
framed their petition Of rights. This
cut at the very root Of the kings pre-
rogative. and among those In the house
who opposed 1t was Mr.. Speaker. Upon
Sir John Elliott moving its acceptance
the speaker essayed 10 leave the chair
which would, OF course, have proved
fatal to the bill. But they were ready
for him. and Hollis and Valentine seiz-
cd him, one OH each side. and literally
held him in the chair until the for
Hality Of the reading was over. so
vital was the petition considered that
