Unique Distinction of an Ensllsh VII

Unique Distinction of an English vil-
 laGes
 London Standard.
 The little village of Buclkland-in-the. Moor has many claims to distinction It has a population of less that 100 and entirely belongs to the Rev. w. P. Bastard, who lives at Buckland Court, and who has just celebrated his golden wedding by entertaining his tenants. Time was when the ''bie house." was looked upon as compris- ing half the population. Buckland Is also unique, inasmuch as it has nc public house, no policeman, no phySi. clan, no clergyman and no pauper. Ii is in the ASnburton Church living, and all old people there are pensioned by the estate owner,

 A pleasant Hill man was out to the Amos farm northeast of town the other day and measured that famous Van diver apple tree. which is supposed to be the largest in the West, if not in the entire United States. The tree measured exactly thirteen feet around at a distance of two feet above the ground, which is e. little better than four feet in diameter. Ssventy-ave or eighty years has this old monarch stood. and 1t is still q bear.ng tree.

Heroism Common. Almost Vulgar.

New York Post.
 Heroes nowadays must be almost as common as '4professors" and quite so common as money kings" The daily press scrapes the country clean for their doings; the Carnegie Fund gives them official recognition. It is pity. then, that the world refuses to show the same consideration for the hero that 1t does for the members of any other recognized occupation, such as brik-lying or estock selling.

His Easiest Way.

A Hungarian peasant named Jan Hirsch travelled to Budapest on orsi- ness and availed himself of the op- portunity to order :09 visiting cards which would astonisn his native vil- Iage. When he returned home he found that he cards bore the name of Mavisch instead of Hirsch. This meant a clear loss of thirty-six cAnts unless he could make use of the cards. He accordingly wrote a petition on stamped paper which cost him twenty four cents, asking permission to after his name .--he request was EraEted and now he Is Jan Mavisch, with twelve cents saved.

WINTER DRESS OF JAPANESE WOMEN.
that reminds them of national wars
and military glory, 30 when they play
at snowballing they divide themselves
into two armies, each Of which has q
captain, and the captain carries flag.
The teacher is often the boys umpire.
When q boy is hit with SNOWFALL he
is knocked out of the game and has to
quit. He Is killed, they say. II one OF
the captains has his flag captured by
the enemy, then his side has to give
up at once. The enemy has gained the
victory.
Skating and tobogganing are also IA
vorIte amusements among Japanese
boys wherever there is snow enough.
The japanese, however, both men
and boys, get most fun out Of kite fly
ing, which may be perhaps called the
national winter sport. They begin 1t
about New Years day, which since
1872 has come on the same day rs
ours. New Years day in Japan Is
called Shogatsu. All the grounds
around the cities ard towns at this
season are covered with men and
! boys, and the air Is full Of kites. Some
Of these are simply immense. They
are often five feet long, and they pull
SO hard in a high wind that IT. takes
two men to hold them. The kites are
made Of thin paper stretched over a
bamboo frame. They are beautifully
painted and decorated, often with his
| torical and battle scenes and with the
portraits of famous Japanese heroes
and generals.
The kite flying competitions are,
however, the most interesting feature
Of this fayorlte sport. Great big kites
six feet square are used for the con-
tests. Some Of these great kites have
a whalebone whistle attached, which
shrieks like mad when the string Is
suddenly jerked.
Japanese boys are fond Of walking
on stills in winter to keep them out Of
! the cold and snow, and they are more
expert Mt this exercise than any other
boys. Their stills are often three feet
high and are made Of bamboo.
Little Japanese girls have not had
much outdoor winter fun till recent
years, but now they are beginning to
