Hay on Church Eloor.

4 curious custom Is annually Obsery- ed at Old Neston church on St. Swith- ms day. The church is dedicated to St Swithin, and on festival day the church is strewn with hay. Many years ago some donor left a field to provide money for bread which is dis tributed four times year. The tenant of the field has to supply the hay to strcw the church The custom is sup posed to have originated from the fact that on festival Sunday the parishion- CTS wear new boots, and the idea of the donor was to have the hay laid down to stop the squeaking incidental to new footwear.-Landon Standard.

 As fond as am of reading said a merchant, "I never peruse a legal doe ument without feeling irritable over my inability Co grasp the real meaning of such a paper at a glance Like many other persons not engaged fin the legal profession, I sometimes have to read contracts and other agreements drawn up by lawyers, and l often won der why in this age of common sense the 'whereases,' .aforcsaids' and par ties of the first part are not relcgated to oblivion. The technical verbiage employed is a relic of the age when that which was mysterious and could not be understood was esteemed to be beyond the comprehension of the com mon herd. The use of uncommon Eng fish in purely business circles would not be endured. Why, then, should the transfer of q piece Of property be a process so labyrlnthian and So mys- terious that man of sound sense cannot fathom it? l. has been esti- mated that the clipping of the letter u' from such words as humour, labour and the like has added to the world each year what is equivalent to the productive capacity of 500 ablebodied men, What would we not gain if from every legal paper and from every legal suit there should be removed that vast mass of superfiuity, that au- tiquc verbiage, that bulk of repetition and solemn senselessness that now in- wraps them as the shell inwraps the elamY'- Chicago Inter Ocean.

QUEER TELEGRAPH POLES.
Made of Adobe In seIi~is-orouine
 Trees Used in Hfrics.

Trees Used in Africa.
 The most original telegraph line in the world once extended from the cap 'ital of Bolivia. La Paz, to the town of oruro. In this part of Bolivia there are no growing trees, and wood Is so difficult to find that even the ordinary household furniture of the natives is invariably made not of wood, but of dried mud or adobe.
 So when tine war broke out between Chilc and Bolivia and telegraph line became urgent it was adobe that was chosen for the queerest telegraph poles in existence. These pillars were built on stone foundations and measured about five feet square at the base, with a height of about fifteen feet.
 They were placed at intervals of about 361 feet and thus held the wire at a height sufficient to clear the only animals of the country. the llama and the donkey. The total length of the line was 1JG miles.
 Among other curious telegraph lines Is the growing Dole fine erected in Uganda by an English engineer, who could not find any dead wood which would withstand the white ants and hit upon the idea of transporting grow ing bark cloth trees to tue side of the roads and using them as poles.
 In the Dutch East Indies growing trees are turned 10 account also, but there wire is stretched across the road between the trees on either side, and the insulator is suspended in it's middle. and the line is thus over the road and clear from vecetation.-Chl ca=o Tribune.

On one occasion the British lost | point iE their war with Russia by req son of an error In their geography This was when Commodore Elliot ha, succeeded in blocksdlng the Russia feet in the gulf Of SaghaIln, on th east coast Of Siberia. The Russian were in 8 euIzde-sac. and the Britis ships waited coItentedly for such tin as the enemy should venture to put sea. But they waited in vain, and last an investigation was made. was found that the Russian feet ha vanished. While the British comm, dore waited at the south end of tn gulf, the Russian ships slipped ava through the shaliors at the north en into the sea Of OkbOtsk. Until tn discovery was made the British gov ernment had believed SaghRfln 10 b, 6 peninsula.

GLOUCESTER.
The Creates. Fishing Center in tho
 United States.

Everything smells of fish in Glouces- ter. ft is not an od0r to which any of the natives object. Nor do visitors find in 1t anything of which to com plain, for it Is the pungent ozone of the sea. the smell of fish freshly caught. Gloucester has really never known any thing else, for since It's beginning. ap- preaching three centuries ago, it has always had fishing for it's chief indus try. and today it is the greatest fish Ing center of the United States and. according to tho belief of many, of the world
 When a two masted schooner, laden to the gunwales with it's cargo of fish. comes into the wharfs the fish are ear ried in great tubs. Over these stand company Of experts. men who have cleaned hundreds of thousands of fish and who can make the quick cuts and do tine scraping with Incredible speesl Running to each tub is a hose. and aft CT the waste has been removed an ir stant under the high pressure of wa ter from the hose cleans out the fist. completely and makes it sweet and ready for the next step in the opera ton. Goldfish is dried and salted be fore being sent to the market, and the work is also done on the wharfS. Here are ranged hundreds of tables exposed to the bright sunlight. The cleansed fish are piled up In such manner that the warm rays get most admirable chance at them.
 From the open air drying tables the fish are shifted to the boxing and pack ing establishments, which are also b cated along the water front, and then they are made ready to be shipped to sIl parts of the world. - Springs Union.

Serious Fire Narrowly Avertsd.

Defective electric light wires ui the county recorders office this morn ing about 6 o'clock nearly caused a serious fire. and had it not been that Janitcr Sanders was in ti office short. ly after the fire started nd put into use small garden hose a od put oat t1e fire. the results might 2 ave been very different. The wires where they drop onto the chandeIies formed a short circuit and burned hole about as large around as lea1 .Jencil in the gas pipe. This afforded a chance for the gas to escape, and as it escaped was set on fire by the wires so that it shot the blaze onto the surrounding wood work. and in q few moments would have worked it's way between the ceiling in the record. CTS office and the floor of the ojces above.
 The alarm of fire was given by Jaiior Ned White. who fired a number of shots from the front of the court house. Many thinking that there was trouble in the jail came running from all directions with guns in their hands. As it was there was consider. |able excitement caused, with but very little loss or damage. Had the fire started during the night there would have been much damage done to the court house and records.

4 ROYAL FUNERAL.
Strange Ceremonies That Mark the
 Burial of Spanish King.


 Strange and almost weird is the cer- emonial which accompanies the burial of Spanish kings. The pantheon, or royal tomb. is at the palace of the Escurial. situated 1000 feet above the level of the sea and some distance from the capital Only kings, queens and mothers of kings are buried tLere the collins. of inc kings lying on one side, those of the queens on the other After lying in state for several days In the throne room in Madrid an enor- nous procession is formed. accompany ing the body to the Escurial. A halt Is made on the way. and the corpse rests there for one night.
 In the morning the lord high cham berlain stands at the side of the coffin and says in loud tones. "Is your majes- ty pleased to proceed on your jour neyT' After short silence the pro cesslon moves on and winds up to the grand portal of the palace. These doors are never opened except to ad- init royal parsonage, dead or alive. When the casket containing the re- mains is at last placed ia the vault the chamberlain unloclls it and, kneel- ing down. calls with a loud voice: ''Senori Senor, Senor.'
 After a solemn pause he cries again: His majesty does not replyi Then it is true. the king is deadr'
 He then locks the coffin, gives the key to the prior and, taking his stan of office. breaks 1t in pieces and filings them at the casket. The booming of the guns and the tolliDg of bells an- nounce to the nation that the King has gone to his final resting place.

A PRECIOUS EARL.
Alexander of Buessan. Known as the
 ~Wols of Badenoeh.s

During the restoration of Dunkeld ,athedral the workmen unearthed the remains of Bishop Sinclair. one of those who assisted in the building of the cathedral, and of the notorious Alexander, earl of Buchan. whose fe- rocity won for him the significant title of the wolf of Badenoch." A memorial marks the spot where the wolf was buried and it has often been a subject of remark by visitors that q man who plundered churches and in various ways showed his hatred of the clergy should have been laid to rest side by side with bishops and other high ecclesiastics.
 Alexander. earl of Buehan. was a younger son of Robert II. of Scotland During the closing years of the lat ter's reign the chief powers in the state were delegated to his sons, the earls of Fife and Buchan. and after the accession of Robert TIL. an amia. ble but weak prince. this unfortu- nate delegation was allowed to be con tinucd. The Eari of Buchan ruled over the northern part of Scotland with an authority little less than re- gal. He has been described as scarce iy better than a savage-cruel. fero- ciods and relentless. Among his ex- plOits was the destruction of the mag niicent cathedral of Elgin. He car ried of the chalices and vestments. polluted the shrines with blood and finally set fire to the noble ediiice. the houses of the canons and the town itself. He also laid waste a large part of the cOunuy.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Especial to the Review.l

tSBtCidl JUG 11NltNst
 TOMBSTONE. Jan. 1i.-Tho first action to be filed in the district court that involves the question to title to claims in the vicinity of Courtland has been filed in the district court and Is entitled William Blackburn, T. w. MalOney and George McGee, plaintiffs, vs. The Calumet & Arizona Mining company. The Leadville Mining com pany. A. Y. Smith, Thomas Pidwell, J. H. Snyder and l.. n. Shattuck, de fendants. The suit involves the ques. ton of title to the New Year mine and eight other claims in the immed. fate vicinity of Courtland. The com plaint alleges that the plaintiffs were in possession of the property in Ques- ton by right of prior location, and that the defendants have made recent To- cations over the locations made by the plaintiffs, and are thus depriving them of their rightful ownership. The claims in question lie just north and west of where the c. & A. company are at present sinking the new shaft on the Maid of Sunshine mine, and where they are operating the diamond drill on the King Solomon property. F. w. Goodbody appears as the attor- ney for the plaintiffs.
 This is but q starter of what is to follow from the actions cf parties in that district. Claim after claim has been located and then relocated and oyerlapped, so that it is next to i'm possible to determine where the lines of any of the claims are, as there are monuments every few feet in some parts of the district.
 Dan Sullivan is about to start ac. tion against number of parties who have taken in Q portion of his claims, which he has held for a number of years, and upon which he has done as sesment work and has spent no small amount of moley.
 An example of what the excitement in that vicinity has caused those not acquainted in the district to do was the locating of two patented claims the Emmett and Elgin by no less than ten or twelve different parties These claims adjoin the Brown group on the east about one hundred yards from where the Copper Queen company is sinking the new shaft. and have an excellent showing on the surface They are the property of the Kendall Mining company of Kansas City. and when w. R. Kendall of Kansas City was out there a few weeks he found that there had been a number oi parties doing work on the property. and no less than fifteen I0-foot holes for location work had been done on the properties. IL was discovered that the ground vas patented that they would move of and some one else would locate ir, SO that the com pany has some development work oone on their property with no ex. pense tc themselves.
 The next session Of the district court will find number of cases oy, the docket involving the question of ntle 10 mining property in that local fly. This is not only sure of the min ing claims, but there is a iI1lihood that there will be a number of lively disputes arise over the filing of home stead entries in that locality as there have already been filed by differcni parties their intention to claim tho same pieces O: land.
