Corfu's Queer Laws.

Corfu, where q magnificent marble
palace belonging to the German en-
peror, is said to have just been pur-
chased by an American millionaire,
can boast of the most peculiar land
laws in the world. The landlords are
nearly all absentees, and their tenants
hold the land on perpetual lease in
return for a rent payable in kind and
fixed at a certain proportion of the
produce.
Such tenant is considered a CO.
owner of the soil, and he cannot be
expelled but for non-payment of rent,
bad culture, or the transfer of hs
lease without the landlords permis-
sion.
Attempts have been made to alter
the law. but both landlord and ten
ants are apparently satisfied with a
system that dates back to the time of

Everything for their comfort and

office, hairdresser, and a postal tele-
graph office. A special feature was
the garden court, containing over 30,-
600 square feet of open space, and
tastefully laid out with palms and
flowers. Here fountains splashed and
an orchestra played while the patrons
lounged on comfortable rattan chairs
