A Stream So Crooked That Il Double
Crosses Itself.
There is 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 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, 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. q. 1893.
when it moved it's mouth three miles to
the northward, presented the town of
Marshfleld 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
II 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.-Bost0n

LIFE IN SANTIAGO.
Curious Customs That Prevail In the
Capital Of Chile.

Curious Customs That Prevail In tho
Capital Of Chile.
They have women conductors on the
electric cars Of Santiago. the capital
Of Chile. This was made necessary
by war, which took so many men to
the front and imposed upon women
the work usually done by men. The
custom has been kept up. the women
having proved equally as efficient as
the men had been.
One of the most peculiar customs
seen here is the evening promenade in
the plaza or park. which is attended
by young ladies and young men and
quite small boys and girls. They do
not mix, but keep quite separate paths.
Yet even the little girls at seven or
eight years are finished coquettes.
Their eyes languidly observe every
man and boy in the plaza, and they
take care that each shall receive due
share of their smiles.
Another curious custom which pre-
walls in Santiago and which is joined
by those fortunate enough to have
fine horses and carriages is the prom
enade at the Parque Causino. a beau
tiful park near the center of the city.
A company of mounted police stands
in single file in the center Of the drive.

coachmen and foctmen and beautiful

police.

King John, it would seem. though ie-
gally married to Isabella of Angou-
lelne 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-

with his wife and remaining children.

John renewed his suit. but only sue
ceeded in driving her to utter silence,

her poisoned egg for her breakfast,
and she died early in 1915 A year
later her remains were translated to

When the news of this crafty muir

discovered to his joy that the barons
were on the point Of declaring war
against John. He at once placed him.

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

hatched the great charter. Whether
the story be true or false, it is Ger
titled 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 a year later, when the war
with the barons was at its 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. 1, 1915, the temporary court

rebellious barons had summoned to
