Meaning Of the Green Bouah.

The custom of placing green bough
on the roof of a newly built house is
not confined to Germany. but was
adopted by the French Canadians. who
brought it with them from Brittany
The custom originated from the super
stition prevalent centuries ago that
every tree is inhabited by a spirit;
consequently it was believed that ev-
cry time tree was felled another
spirit was dispossessed. and this was
supposed to cause some bitterness on
his part against society," Rather than
risk having these homeless and dis
gruntled spirits vent their ill feeling

upon the builders branch was plant
ed on the highest part of the house
for their occupancy. They were then
supposed to be Modified. and if they
remained so until the roof was put on
any evil design contemplated would
prove harmless. for the spell would be
broken.-Van Norden's Magazine.

SHAH TAKES REFUGE
IN RUSSIAN LEGATION
Troops Are Expected to etcort Ruler
Across Frontier-Terms OF Sur
render Beinu Considered.

TEHERAN, July 16.-The shah has
taken refuge in the Russian legation.
The terms Of surrender Of Liakhoof
and his cossacks are now being nego-
tiated. The nationalists, after captur-
ing the two south gates which the
shah's troops held on the outskirts OF
the city, are now in full possession.
The offer of Liakhoof TO surrender
under suitable terms was made after
the cossacks had repulsed an attack
on the Central square barricade early
today, but had suffered heavy losses
in the effort. The nationalists came
within ten feet Of the intrenchments
In their attack. and only vigorous
cannonading cleared the streets in
front OF the barricade.
II is thought that the ammunition
of the cossacks behind the barrica3e
is running low and that this Is the
reason that Liakhoof Is willing to con-
slider the terms.
The Russian legation and Its at
taches have been most active In the
shah's affairs since 1t was discovered
that Liakhoof could not hold out, and
IL is generally believed the shah has
accepted the Russian protection and
will be hurried across the frontier az
soon as a Russian force can be
brought here TO escort him to Russian

But the court ruled against any pri-

that If Thaw was reported to have
