FREAKS OF A RIVER.
A Stream So Crooked That It Double

A Stream So Crooked That It Double
Crosses Itself.
There is stream in Massachusetts
called the North river It 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 a fresh water
river beating it uphill is alone enough
to call attention to itself But there is
much more to 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, aud was
the first American vessel to circum-
navigate the world. 1t is notorious for
having suddenly changed It's mind on
its course on the night of Nov. q, 1898
when it moved its mouth three miles to
the northward, presented the town of
Marshfield with deep harbor, killed
three men and converted about 100000
acres of prime meadow land into salt
marsh.
But the chief thing about this river
is it's crookedness 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 distance of al
most fifty feet and meanders about
for fifteen miles in doing it-Boston

Winter FEEDING Of Teams.

How to feed the team most econom.

lem. II there is any place where wheat
or oat straw can be economically fed
it is to this team to supply part of

hay and oats, will keep them in good
condition and maintain their muscles.
It has been found economical to have
the grain finely ground for horses over
twelve and under five years of age
The teeth of young and old horses will
not usually allow them to thoroughly
masticate whole grain; hence there is a

Cold storage houses have come to
play an Important part in the distribu-
ton and marketing of perishable food
products In freezing temperature
butter, eggs, poultry meat and other
farm products will keep from spelling
for certain lengths of time. At times
when the market is flooded with a
certain kind of product and prices are
down, the cold storage method is a
very convenient one for conserving
said product until needed, or until
prices are again satisfactory. By
combining or forming trust, the
owners of cold storage plants have
even found it possible to corner GER
tain products and sell them at their
own prices, to the detriment of the
consumer. But the greatest cause for
complaint on the part of the consun-
er, is the deterioration in quality Of
the goods thrown on the market, after
being kept in cold storage for long
periods of time There is a limit be-
yond which food products cannot re-
main in cold storage and be fit for
human consumption. Poultry that
has lain two or more years in cold
storage house are frequently offered
for sale in the cities, as "fresh poul-
try But cold temperature alone is
not relied upon to preserve the meat,
powerful chemicals and disinfectants
being often made use of to make it
keep. Such meat Is unfit to eat and
may even be very harmful. 1t is
readily seen that grave abuses have
crept into the cold storage system,
abuses that are a menace to the pub
lie health, and must be corrected
Many states have passed stringent
laws for the regulation of the cold
storage business, and Minnesota will
doubtless enact legislation along that
line at the present session of the leg.

LoNDoN's HISTORIC TOWER.

cd tho Great Charter.

And the Egg From Which Was tsatob.
ed the Great Charter.
Richard Davey in 1.-THE Tower Of
London" connects the historic edifice
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" "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 poisoned egg for her break fast.
and she died early in 1915. A year
later her remains were translated to
the family vault at Dunmow
When the news of this crafty MUIR
der came to the ears of Fitzwalter he
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, it 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
hatched the great charter Whether
the story be 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 af-
fixed his reluctant signature to the
deed.
About 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 it's strange vicissitudes during
this strenuous reign the tower became

get a successor to Superintendent James

learned yesterday that in all probability
he will remain in office until such time
as the Board of Commissioners sees fit
to remove him.
This action is taken by Mr.. Wood. it
is understood. because he believes that
a retirement at this time, coming so
soon after a vague intimation of dissatis-
faction with his administration, would
result in an acknowledgment by him of
that situation.
