evaporated from the towel the heat is

QUAINT SCHOOL CUSTOMS.
Long Ordeal for New Boy at Rugby
The "kish" at MARLBOROUGH.

The "Kish" at Marlborough.
j. l.. Patton, head master of Man
chester Grammar School, in a speech
at Rochdale, referred to a custom ut
Rugby School which forbids a boy OF
less than three years standing to turn
up his trousers and insists on his
doing so after that period.
The custom is only a minor instance
of the quaint practices that exist at
all the great public schools, and are
maintained with religious care, though
in many cases their origin is obscure
or unknown. The Shrove Tuesday
tossing of the pancake at Westmn-
ster School. with its ensuing scramble
for the largest fragment, which gains
for its possessor a guinea from the
dean, is, perhaps. the best-known
among them.
curious custom at Marlborough
requires every boy to bring to school
with him n cushion technically termed
a "ldsh"-with the 81" long. This
article Is his inseparable companion
in school time. and in addition to the
ordinary functions of a cushion is en-
ployed 10 carry books from one form
room TO another.
At Shrewsbury School at the begin
ming of each term hall elections" are
held for the posts of hall crier hall
constable. hall postman and hall
scavengers. The genial brutality OF
youth often selects for the position OF
hall crier either the most nervous boy
in the school or one who is afflicted
with a stammer.
The new boy in the schoolhouse at
Rugby is carly called upon to take
Ids part in house singing" At this
function, which is held in one of the
dormitories, he has to render a song
to the satisfaction of his audience,
the penalty being the swallowing Of
a mouthful OF soapy water.

sweerNEss NOT ALL ALIKE.
Difference for Which Allowance Must
Always Be Made.

IN testing recipes, allowance must
be made for the differences in fiavors
strength Of ingredients. and purity Of
materials used. For instance: The
so-called strained honey, especially the
kind already strained and to be had in
bottles and tumblers, is rarely ever
pure honey, is very strong and
biting, and apt to impart a disagree
able tang when even very little too
much is used If one can obtain
honey directly from the comb, the
recipe may be followed. Sugars vary;
powdered sugar often has -four or corn
starch mixed with it, and will not
sweeten properly; granulated sugar
may be very coarse, or fine, and when
moist, as some of 1t is, weighs more
heavily than the dry kind. Molasses
is often interpreted by the inexperi-
enced to mean any kind of syrup from
corn to cane and sorghum; but corn
syrup (glucose) is not as sweetening
as cane sugar and sorghum is strong,
and not always of agreeable flavor.
Molasses is usually meant to designate
the sugar-cane syrup. Beet sugar is
not as sweet as cane sugar The
proper use of these different qualities
can only be the result of experience
and personal good Judgment Ex-
change.

requires every other dog within 40
blocks to walk chalk line and bow
to him as he passes by. He can lick
everything on four feet up to twice his
size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the-
Pump. His master attributes Zips
prowess to his fondness for the pipe.
Like Old King Cole:
He calls for his pipe,
He calls for his glass.
He calls for his fiddlers three
That is the most remarkable dog in
the world" says his master He takes
my pipe out OF my mouth and smokes
1t, standing on his hind feet See. The
stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco
doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on
his fours and chase all over the house
to create a draught When the fire is
well started again he finishes his
smoke and returns me the pipe
Strong? He ought to be named Sam

weighs 900 pounds. Tie Zip to it with
a rope and he will pull it all over the

Ruined financially, and with not a

obtain immediate use OF his heavy
life insurance
Furthermore. IL he fingered on he
would be unable to pay the premiums
on his policies, which unfortunately
were not old enough to carry them
selves. so that they would forthwith
lapse.
Death, therefore, was the only soIu-
tion to the problem. It was a decision
the bitterness OF which can only be
understood by those forced by circum-
stances to confront it,
He put on his hat and overcoat and
went out Of the house, lest the express
sion ON his telltale countenance should
betray to his loved ones his fell inten-
tion. While he was traversing the
crowded streets he would consider the
best and least suspicious modes Of
communicating his purpose. II he
could encompass 1t so that the thing
looked to the world like an accident,
so much the better There would
then be no scandal.
AS he stepped from the curb to
cross the street an automobile, driven
by a reckless joy-riding chauffeur,
came teariEg around the corner at ter
rifying speed
And the energetic leap which the
would-be suicide made back to the
out of harms way was a
