MEANING OF SCARLET THREAD
Woven Into British Naval Rope as
Positive Method of Identification
of Royal Property.

Ever since the day of Nelson, pc
culiar custom has been observed in
the British navy. A scarlet thread is
woven into every one of the thou
sands Of ropes used in the British ma
val service. This includes all ropes
from the smallest heaving line to the
largest hawser. Several romantic sug-
gestions have been advanced as to
why the thread Is woven into the
ropes, but the real reason is a simple
and practical one.
It simply means sure way of iden-
tifying royal property, and If any rope
with the red thread Is found In unau-
thorized hands the presumption is
that it was improperly taken. 1t is
forbidden that any rope manufactured
for private use contain the red thread.
In just the same way that In the Uni
ted States the manufacture of paper
for private use containing bits of silk
10 forbidden. This paper In the Uni
ted States is used for currency pur-
poses only.

ACorner In Ancestors
St. John Family
Copyright by Mcclure syndicate,
By ELEANOR LEXINGTON

The ST. Johns are OF Norman
French origin, and took their name
from parish called st. John, near
Rouen. William st. John was one Of
the Conqueror's train. Grand Mas
ter of Artillery and Supervisor of the
Wagons and Carriages" he is called.
His sons and grandsons distinguished
themselves in the wars of William Ru-
fus, and Henry 1.
A daughter of the house of st. John
married Adam de Port, the great feu-
dial baron Of Basing, near Southamp-
ton; and, as her son inherited the pos
sessions of both families, and as
sumed the maternal name, the st.
Johns claim descent equally from Nor
man-French and Anglo-Saxon.
II long array of noble ancestors
counts for anything, then the ST. Johns
of the present day have something to
live up to. They were good fighting
men, were the st. Johns. Crusaders,
many of them, and distinguished
knights in the days of chivalry, and

ST. Johns were royalists, and the head
of the family, at that time, gave three
sons, who fell fighting for their king.

keepinn II Secret.

Papa and mamma were laughing at
a joke on gran'pa and little Tommy
was keeping close tabs. Gran'pas
name is Noah Brown.
Little Mollie Smith was asked at
Sunday school who built the ark
She didn't know and was told to
have the answer by the following Sum
day. Her mother instructed her.
Noah built the ark" she said. Noah.
The same name as Mr.. Brown. His
name is Noah Brown. You know that
don't you? You've seen his name
above his store. Just remember Mr..
Brown, and then you'll think of Noah"
And very naturally when Mollie was
asked the following Sunday who built
the ark she answered promptly: "Mr.
Brown built 1t. He lives right next
door to us"
That's the story papa told mamma
and when she laughed Tommy was
anxious to see the point. Presently
his face lit up. Il know it," ne
cried. "Gran'pa built it all right; but
he doesn't want everybody to know
it."

nephew, "you see the little bird out
side the cage? Well, soon you shall
see the little bird walk right into the
cage without our having to touch the
bird, the cage, or the pencil"
ooh, how?" cried Harry, in astonish-
ment
In answer to this question Uncle
Dick placed the paper in Harry's hand
and drew from his pocket an ordinary
calling card, which he told Harry to
place upon the dotted line and watch
the bird carefully, his nose just touch
ing the card.
All was stu in the room for mo-
ment and then aHrrv cried out:
"He is moving-he really is-there
he goes right into the cage!"
Just then the card dropped and
Harry looked at the paper in amaze
ment, for there was the cage, the dot
ted line, and the bird beyond the dot
ted line just as it had been before.
Uncle Dick laughed at Harry's con-
fusion, then explained to him that it
was sort of trick; that the bird did
not really go into the cage at all, yet
it seemed SO to him because it was
proof of simple sight with both eyes,
or, and he laughed at the look of won
der in the little boys face, what wise
men like your old uncle know as BIZ

Harry committed the long word to
memory, and not willing to be out
done, drew cage with two birds out
side, then whole flock, and joyously
watched them journey inside the bars.
