No Laws DeIav Here.

In Perak, in the Malay peninsula,
lawyers find no business, for mOdi-
fed form of trial by ordeal decides all
disputes. In place of the legal practi-
toner the pleader is native boy who
is assigned to one or the other Of the
sides and is given bamboo tube in
which is sealed the pleading of the
person or party whom he represents.
When all is ready two stakes are
driven into the bed Of a stream, and
by aid of a bamboo pole the heads Of
the two boys are submerged at the
same time. BY grasping the stakes
they are enabled to remain under wa
ter for quite awhile after their natural
inclination would bring them to the
surface, but at last one of them gives
in and, releasing his hold of the stake,
comes to the air. He is Immediately
seized. and the tube he holds is cast
aside. The other lad is led ashore, his
tube opened, and the document con-
tanned therein stands as the decision in
the case.

house one day. We had sold him be-
fore in a small way, and he always
paid. He had enlarged his business,
he told us, and wanted a bigger line
than usual, but before making his Sc
lections he wanted us to give him ref
erences. We expressed surprise at
such an unheard of demand, but he
said, My two brothers-in-law have
gone in with me, and they're very par
ticular as to whom they do business

and he came back, said we were all

and in sixty days he busted We

later l met the man in Cincinnati and

Scott Relics at Abbotsford.

The present estate of AbbOtSfOrd was
formed during the years 1911 to 1917
from various small farms, the first
one purchased bearing the "inharmo-
NOUS designation" CLARITY Hole. After
Sir Walter SCOTS death in 1884 com
mittee Of friends collected $4,000 to-
ward the redemption of the estate, and
Mr. Cadell, the publisher, contributed
the rest on receiving the rights over
SCOTS works. The library and mu
scum had been given some years be-
fore by the creditors. AS his son
Lieutenant Colonel w. Scott, died on
his way home from India, the prop
erty descended to J. r. Lockhart, his
son-in-law, and thence to his daugh

daughter held the estate for some
years. Many Scott relics are preserv-

Queer Eyes Of a Queer Spider.


The attus family Of spiders, abound
Ing in Java, have in addition to nu-
merous smaller eyes a pair of large
ones which have been called gig
lamp" eyes. A specimen of the spider,
captured near Buitenzorg, exhibits a
remarkable power Of changing the col
or OF its eyes. When taken the eyes
were dark brown like the body, but
suddenly they changed to bright grass
green. Soon afterward they turned
back from green to brown, and this
change of color was repeated several
times in succession. apparently at the
will of the creature. Whether this ac-
ton on the part of this curious spe-
cies of spider is an effort to inspire
terror in it's enemy or whether it is an
effect of its own terror is uncertain.
Another singular fact is that the color
Of either one or both eyes could thus
be changed at wallpapers Weekly.

Hard For the Eskimos.

One Of the difficulties Of the Nora
Wan missionaries in Labrador is to
make the Old Testament, with it's
wealth of pastoral detail, Ineligible
to the Eskimos, not one of whom has
ever seen horse. ''Sheep and CATTLE"
says Hesketh Pritchard in Hunting
Camps In Wood and Wilderness"
they cannot realize or conceive Of,
for there are no domesticated animals
save dogs in that portion of the PENN
sula. They comprehend the story of
Esau, the hunter, and that of Samson
and the lion, which animal can be
translated as polar bear, but Of Abra-
ham in the land Of Mesopotamia they
can form no picture. The nearest APP
proach to these ideas is drawn from
the harvest of the sea, seals and fish
taking the place Of flocks and herds"
