forthwith returned to England and
discovered TO his JOY that the barons
were on the point Of declaring war
against John. He at once placed him
self at their head, hoping, il is said, to
combine his personal revenge with his
duty as an English peer and is indeed
supposed to have forced the king to
sign the great charter for the express
purpose of humiliating his daughters
murderer. Thus from an egg was
patched the great charter. Whether
the story he true or false, it is a GER
tilted historical fact that the barons
held the tower in pledge till John con-
scented to accept the charter and at
fixed his reluctant signature TO the
deed.
About q year later, when the war
with the barons- was at it's height and
John once more a power. the tower
again fell into his hands, and, though
the barons laid siege to it, they were
repulsed by the kings men. To COM
plete its strange vicissitudes during
this strenuous reign the tower became
on Nov. l, 1915, the temporary court
Of King Louis of France. whom the
rebelious barons had summoned TO
assist in the adjustment Of their griev-
ances. Appearing before the gates
with a large body of men, he so com
pletely awed the officials that they
handed over the keys without striking
a blow for their rightful monarch.

And the Egg From Which Was Hatch.
ed the Great Charter.
Richard Davey in The Tower Of
London" connects the historic edifce
with the wrestling Of the great charter
from King John.
King John, it would seem, though le-
gally married to Isabella of Angou-
leme, fell desperately in love in 1914
with Matilda" or Maud" 1.-The Fair"
the beautiful daughter of Robert, Lord
FitZwalter. This lady, remaining deaf
to his entreaties, was treacherously
abducted from her fathers seat at
Dunmow by the kings order and shut
up in the round turret of the White
tower. On this Fitzwalter made a
vain attempt to rouse the people to re-
volt, but was forced TO fly TO France
with his wife and remaining children.
Maud once safe in the tower, King
John renewed his suit, but only sue
ceeded in driving her to utter silence,
which so Infatuated him that he sent
her a poisoned egg for her breakfast,
and she died early in 1915. A year
later her remains were translated to
the family vault at Dunmow.

FREAKS OF A RIVER.
A Stream So Crooked That II Double
Crosses Itself.

/ stream 80 CROOKED nat II Doubie
Crosses Itself.
There is n stream in Massachusetts
| called the North river 1t starts in a
pond near Hanson and runs TO the sea
at Scituate. 1t is ten miles by air line
from Hanson to Scituate, and the river
is forty miles long
This river is probably the most re-
markable body of water, barring the
Dead sea, on this footstool and has
stood more abuse and bad language
than the Chicago river. When the tide
is coming in the river runs upstream,
and not only that, but the upper part
of it, which is fresh water, also runs
up, and the spectacle of q fresh water
river beating IT uphill is alone enough
to call attention to itself. But there is
much more 10 IT than that
The North river Is noted for being
the scene of the last Indian raid on the
coast settlements. 1t is notable for
having given birth to the ship Colum-
bia. whose captain discovered and
named the Columbia river, and was
the first American vessel to circum-
navigate the world. 1t is notorious for
having suddenly changed its mind on
its course on the night Of Nov. 81, 1898.
when it moved its mouth three miles to
the northward, presented the town OF
Marshfield with a deep harbor, killed
three men and converted about 100000
acres Of prime meadow land into a salt
marsh.
But the chief thing about this river
is its croo1edness. This river is so
crooked that it double crosses itself.
If you don't believe it go and see.
There is one place in Hanover where
by making three loops the river moves
toward the sea for a distance of al
most fifty feet and meanders about
for fifteen miles in doing it.-Boston

The Omen Fire,

The open fire is a primitive, elemen-
tai thing. 1t cheers with more than
mere heat; IT is a bit of the red heart
of nature laid bare; it is a dragon of
the prince docile and friendly there
in the corner. What pictures, what
activity. how social, how it keeps up
the talk! You are not permitted to
forget IL for a moment How ii re-
spends when you nudge 1T! How it re-
joices when you feed it, Why. an
open fire in your room is a whole lit
erature. 1t supplements your library
as nothing else in the room does or
can.-John Burroughs in Country Life
In America.

THE SELECTION OF
GOOD DAIRY COWS

In an address before the Vermont
Dairy association Professor Cook of
New York said that after an expert
ence of lifetime he believed the only
sure way to tell a good COW is to bring
out the scales and Babcock test. One
COW that came pretty near being eligi-
BILE for the BOBBY prize had to her
credit 500 pounds of butter for the year.
Professor Cook mentioned this to show
how impossible it is to judge a COW
entirely on her looks. As man
looks the dairy COW in the face she
should show good head and a fine
eye. not too prominent The lips
should be strong and the nostrils large,
with good openings. Strong lips in
dictate good digestion. and good nos.
trils indicate lung power. The COW
should be wide between the front legs
and have good length of body.
Continuing. Professor Cook said
My experience is that good dairy
COW has good, heavy shoulders, not
beefy. for, in fact. there should not be
a bit of fat on a dairy COW.
The ribs should be far apart. The
mammary veins do not always indi-
cate what the COW will produce, but
they come pretty close. Milk veins
should be prominent and many of
them. This indicates good blood
circulation. Contrary to the impress
sion of many, there is no milk in the
milk veins. They are filed with blood
returning from the udder to the heart.
| always like large milk wells or open
ings. like to see milk veins on the
udder
The skin of the animal should be
loose and snap back when released
Watch out for thin, papery hide.
Such an animal is likely to have poor

There seems to be a peculiar func
ional activity with the udder OF some
cows to turn out q lot OF work. They
have the peculiar ability to take a lot
Of nourishment from the blood as II
passes through the udder. That is
why we urge farmers to select the
COW with extra good circulation. If
the milk veins are prominent on the
abdomen and udder II indicates q
good circulation and the proba bility
that a lot Of nourishment Is being
utilized through the udder. A soft.
velvety or silky udder is as good an
indication as | know Of what Is going
on inside.
