The Red man wont to tell his Children the
story Of an Indian maiden which may well be Dor
rowed by the peoples of every land every cline every
nation and every tongue.
Having been led into cornfied by the Great Spirit
that guarded the true and faithful members of her
tribe until such time as they passed over to the hap
by hunting grounds the Indian maid was told that
each ear of she plucked while passing through
the field, would be transformed into precious jewel
and that the richer the she picked the brighter
would be the gems into which they turned The
only condition imposed her that she pass
through the field but
Overjoyed with the offer, the maiden started
her way, and although she many full and ripe
she passed them by in the belief that she would
find many others, better, farther In the field.
However, she went the corn grew thinner and
until at length she reached the edge Of the
cornfeld with empty hands and regrets in her heart
for having failed to pluck the golden ears 30 freely

Impaiinu the Wild Boar.

In Germany the boar hunt occur an
nually. Trained hounds are held in
leash until the lair of the boars is sniff
ed, and then they are let go. Off rush
the bristling beasts. They run fast,
and the faster they skip along the wild
er and 'madder' they get. Sometimes
they are shot, but the correct style of
killing is to use Il long spear or Il short
swordlike knife. The hunter spies his
boarship speeding along in an almost
straight line, blinded with rage and
ferocity. Bending Over sideways to the
earth, the sportsman thrusts his spear
dull end downward in the soil and the
sharp point slanting upward and turn
ed directly to the boar's path. Straight
on the wild hog rushes, and with all
the impetus of his long flight he plunges
upon the spear point and there, impaled,
dies a bloody death.

"A Riaht and Lawful Rood"

An example of the old rough and
ready methods of arriving ut a meas
urement is the EliZabethan way of
getting the feet Falentin Leigh,
who wrote on surveying, records that
after service on Sunday sixteen men
were stopped at the church door, just
as they happened to come out, and
drawn up in line, left foot to left foot.
The length thus obtained was taken
as "a right and lawful rood to meas
ure and survey the land WITH" and
a sixteenth part Of it as "a right and
lawful foot" Although big and little
men were thus roughly averaged
against each other, the results nat
urally varied to some extent. Hence
it is, as Shaw Sparrow notes i'll treat
ing of this rood" as the architectural
.'bay'' which gives US the bay win
dow" that a bay is sometimes found
to be rather less than sixteen feet Of
twelve inches.-London Chronicle.
