Origin of Firewater.

When the Hudson Bay Trading COM
pany began its trading among the In
dams it was found that by selling the
Indians liquor they could more easily
be induced TO trade their peltries. The
first whisky or intoxicant of inferior
quality was distilled in England and
brought to America in large barrels,
but in transporting it overland it was
found more convenient TO divide it into
small kegs. The traders soon became
aware of the fact that by diluting the
whisky with water more furs could
be obtained. This was practiced for
some time. but the Indians learned
that good whisky poured on fire
would cause it to fame up, whereas
had the whisky been diluted the fire
would be quenched. 1t was by this
simple experiment that the term fire
water" became a common word among
the Indians. A chief who had expert
enced the bad effects of whisky among
his people said it was most certainly
distilled from the hearts of wildcats
and the tongues of women from the eff
fects ii produced.-Red Man.

crossed hv the Corpse.

Most of WalthamstGw is too modern
to have much mystery about it, but
the WalthamstOw strip of Legion
preserves the memory of curious old
rule. Barely a hundred yards broad,
this strip of land. belonging to Wal
thamstow parish ran right across Ley
ton from the lea to SnaresbrOOk, par
allei with the southern border of Wal
thamstOw. How came Legion to be
crossed by this alien strip? Legion.
it was said, had once refused to bury
a body found in the lea; WalthamstOw
came forward to do it. And in such
cases it was the rule that the volun-
teering parish might take from the
other as much land right through to
the other side as the men who carried
the corpse could cover walking in line
hand in hand arms extended. The
inconvenient result worried both par
ishes until the growth of population
made new parishes necessary.-London
Chronicle.

NATIONS IN CONFERENCE
Protection of Industrial Property Aim
of Washington Meeting.

The fourth congress of revision of
the conference of the International
Union for the Protection of Industrial
Property opened at Washington
with representatives of thirty-four ma
tons attending and Charlemagne Tow
er, former ambassador to Germany,
presiding as permanent president.
The conference, which is expected
to last six weeks, is not merely a gath
ering for the discussion of problems
concerning patented and trade marked
articles of commerce. The delegates
have plenary powers from their respec-
tive governments to negotiate and
sign treaties.
