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

There is q stream in Massachusetts
called the North river. 1t starts in a
pond near Hanson and runs 10 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 fresh water
river beating 1t uphill is alone enough
to call attention to itself. But there is
much more to Ii 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 Column
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. p, 1898.
when it moved its mouth three miles to
the northward, presented the town of
Marshfeld 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 its 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 lt.-Boston

LOWER BERTHS
STILL FAVORED
REDUCTION IN COST OF UPPER
BERTHs NO INDICTMENT TO
THE TRAVELLING
PUBLIC.

They are not lining up I'm front Of
the ticket counter with a rush to grab
off the reduced upper berths.
For several days there has been a
marked down sale OF upper berths at
the passenger Offices of the various
railroads over the country. The up
pers are going at a reduction OF 20
per cent of their former value, but as
yet the big red letter railroad sale has
been without noticeable results.
Give us the lowers, even If they
cost a dollar more" observed two COM
mercial men who purchased tickets at
the Calumet station yesterday
Inquiry leads to the statement that
so far I'm the short life of the reduced
price of the upper berth. there has
been no increased demand for it be-
cause you can ride TO Milwaukee for
20 cents cheaper than you could be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion made effective its sweeping order.
1T is early yet and public sentiment
must be counted on" said one veteran
railroad man here this morning.
You see people. and this applies es-
pecially 10 the travelling public, are
very timid about breaking the ice that
covers any new custom. They wonder
what the other people will say. For
that very reason. until the time when
the uppers come 10 be more generally
patronized for their cheapness alone,
you will fine some of the more care
full, those who care more for the Opin-
ion of owners, even more eager for the
lowers.
They have gotten the idea that peo-
pie of a poorer and cheaper class gen.
orally, will now patronize the sleep
ing cars, and that these people will
naturally ride i'm the much despised
upper. When they get rid of this idea
and when a man finds that on a long
trip he can save enough money TO buy
his breakfast and perhaps dinner the
next day on the dining car, believe
you will find the upper will be more
generally patronized.
Railroad men here are inclined to
believe that in the end the reduction
OF price will make a difference They
believe that it will result i'm an in
q eased travel in the upper berth, but
there has been no increased demand
! for the uppers as yet.

l0ND0N'S HISTORIC TOWER.
And the Egg From Which Was Hatch
I sesssss- I'D tho Great Charter g.sel

And the Egg From Which Was Hatch
| sss1ss. ed tho Great Charter. TE5Ei
Richard Davey in 1.-THE Tower of
London" connects the historic edifice
with the wrestling of the great charter
from King John.
King John, IL 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 breakfast,
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, 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
Matched the great charter. Whether
the story be true or false, il is GER
tilted historical fact that the barcns
held the tower in pledge till John con-
scented to accept the charter and af-
fixed his reluctant signature to the
deed.
About n year later, when the war
with the barons was at its height and
John once more 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. 1, 1915. the temporary court
of King Louis Of France, whom the
rebellious barons had summoned TO
assist in the adjustment of their griev-
ances. Appearing before the gates
with q large body of men, he so con-
pletely awed the officials that they
handed over the keys without striking
a blow for their rightful monarch.

EQUALS BEST BARON TOLD
Achievements Of Modern Science Make
Story More Incredible Than Any
Of Munchausen's.

Baron Munchausen's famous book
Of travels was published in 1855, ex'
tctly a century and a quarter ago.
That is not very long time. says the
New York Evening Post. But suppose
Munchausen had professed to carry
bis travels into an undiscovered land,
where science and invention had hac
pared with Europe; and suppose that
be had told of an invention by which
the exact picture of an object was
permanently impressed upon a plate
by a brief exposure to light; that al
first 1t took some minutes OF ex'
posture to make the picture. but that
year by year methods were found for
Increasing the sensitiveness OF the
plates. until at last picture could be
obtained in an almost infnitesimal
traction of a second; that a favorite
amusement of the people was to look
at swift succession of pictures oil
this kind. portraying persons and
things in motion. which produced upon
the eye the precise impression OF the
original living scene; but that some
exhibitors of such scenes got into
trouble because the actors in them
had INDUCED in vile language, forget
tul of the fact that the motion OF their
lips was perfectly reproduced. and
that deaf mutes had been taught TO
read the lips. Would not this story
have been regarded as equaling in In
credibility, and surprising in gro
tesqueness, almost anything the baron
actually put into his book?

TIES CAN BE CLEANED.

Ties need not be cast into the ash
can as soon as they show the least
sign of being soiled.
Why not take a soft cloth and some
benzine and clean them so as to make
them appear new?
In handling this oil extreme care is
required. and it should be kept far
away from fire.
When cleaning the ties you can lay
them fiat on a piece of wrapping pa
per. not printed paper, and with a
cloth and cleaning fluid, administer a
good securing.
DO not be afraid of spelling silks, as
they will not be injured i'm the least; in
fact their rejuvination will be mar
velous.
