Dr. Max Wolf, of Heidelberg. to
whom astronomy owes the discovery,
by the aid of photography. of thirty
six new asteroids, has himself never
seen a single one of these little plan
cts. He has only looked upon the i'm
ages of the stars discovered by him,

News Servicc.)
(By Phillip Everett.)
London, Feb. 26.-Of all the quaint
customs In the Western part OF Eng.
land probably the quaintest was wit
messed yesterday.
Some ten miles east Of Penzance is
Godolphin House, once the seat of the
Earls Godolphin, and now the proper
ty of the Duke of Leeds. A high lord
ship is paid by the Duke of Leeds TO
the head of the Aubyn family as reeve
of the manor The obligation had an
interesting beginning.
Some two or three hundred years ago
the respective heads of the houses 0:
St. Aubyn and Godolphin were sitting
together out Of doors when one of
them picked up two snalls, and, pass
ing one. to his friend, suggested that
the snails should race across the ia
BILE for a wager, the stakes to be the
estate of each party. This was agreed
to. GodOlphin's snail did not make
with pin to urge it forward. The
snail shrunk into its she'll and refused
to move, and Godolphin lost.
1t is said that st. Aubyn did not press
the matter, but claimed an annual levy
to be paid before sunrise on Feb. 18th.
Yesterday morning, just before day
break, a party drove up to the fine old
house, and the reeves representative,
knocking at the heavy door three times
said, 20 yes. 0 yes, o yes. here comes
the reeve of the manor of Lambourne
to demand my lords just dues, eight
greats and penny in money, a loaf, a
cheese, a collar, of Drawn, and jack
OF the best steer in the house. God
save the King and the lord of the man
or"
This was repeated at the inner door.
and the reeve then gravely collected
two and ninepence and the whole par
carved oak hall, where Charles the Sec
Ond once dined.
The small shopkeepers of London,
who realize that they are being ruin
ed by the big department stores run
on American lines everywhere in the
city, are going to combine and make a
last attempt to compete with their big
rivals.
AS much of the success of the de-
partment stores Is due to the fact that
the customer can get almost anything
he wants under one roof, they are go
ing to put up in West End large
building on the lines of the big stores.
1t will be filled with every conven-
fence in the way of refreshments, read
ing-rooms, and SO on, and the available
space on the several floors will be let
to approved tradesmen. He will have
his expenses of rent. heating, light
ing, insurance, and advertising cover
ed by an inclusive charge, which will
be considerably less than he would in
cur in small store of his own; and
the delivery of his goods will be under
taken on special terms.
On the other hand. the customer will
benefit, because each tradesman will
be able to devote his sole energy to his
special department. AS for the win
