NOVEL NUT-cRAcKlNG CUSTOM
Nobody Hesitated to Take Advantage
of Peculiar Privilege Allowed
in olden Days.

The modern minister likes to have
things quiet when he talks. 1t dis
concerts him to hear baby cry or q
woman cough or an old man snore.
II he is put out by such trifies as
these it Is interesting to conjecture
wha. he would do If he were to take
hold of q congregation where every
body brought nuts to crack during
the sermon. worshipers used to do
this in England, and even in our own
states during colonial days. This dis
turbance was not weekly occurrence
by any means; If it had been. the poor
preacher would have undoubtedly left
his congregation to administer spir-
itual consolation to suit themselves.
But as it only happened once year
he was forced to endure it. This one
day which was attended by such re-
markable license came the Sunday
before Michaelmas day and was
called crack-nut Sunday. Nobody. no
matter how pious he might be. hesi-
tated to avail himself of the peculiar
privilege granted him. and men.
women and children came to church
with their pockets stuffed with nuts.
which they complacently cracked and
munched during the sermon. 1t can
be easily imagined that when forty
or fifty people get to cracking nuts
with all their might the noise Is apt
to be something. terrific. and many
times the minister was hard put TO
It to hear himself think" The GUS
tom. from being regarded with high
favor for many years. finally came to
be looked upon as nuisance. and in
the beginning Of the present century
the habit was suppressed. although
the act of suppression was attended
with considerable difficulty. so firmly
had the nut-cracking fever taken hold
of the fancy Of the people.

FEW CLEVER LITTLE TRICKS
Rings Chase Each Other When Pa

Hoops Change Positions.

There are some tricks that can be
played on persons eyes which are
pure illusions. Hold this paper foot
or more from your eyes and turn it
gently round to the right or left. in
small circles. keeping your eyes fixed
on the three small rings. as shown in
the illustration.
As you move the paper round like
the hands of a watch you will find that
the rings in these circles seem to
chase each other in the same direc-
ton. and the longer and more intent
ly you look at 1t the faster they CO.
Circles can be made with spokes
in them which to some persons seem to
be going in the opposite direction to
that in which the paper is turned. but

PORTABLE LAMP FOR CAMPER
Convenient Form Of Light Consists Of
Acetyiene 04s Generator and
Reflector.


Aeetyiene css Generator and
Reflector.
A very convenient form of lamp
has recently been devised for the use
of campers. hunters. etc. 1t consists
OF a portable acetylene gas generator,
and burner arranged with a reflect
or which is open at the frount for the
escape OF heat. The walls of the re-
Hector are imperforate, to prevent the
passage of air through the reflector
when the lamp is being moved about
or Is exposed to the wind. In this way
the danger of extinguishing the light
is avoided. The accompanying illus
tration shows in Fig. how the lamp
may be attached to the head of q
man, while the gas generator is &C.
cured to his belt. The details of the
head attachment are shown in the
sectional view. Fig. 2. The burner.
A, is attached to The flexible tube. B,
which runs the generator. The re-
fector, C. in which the burner Is tit.

to a cage. e. provided with strap.

of the wearer. AS an additional sup
port to the lamp, small bracket, G.
connects the bottom of the reflector
directly to the head. When it is de-
sired to use this device on q boat or
in camp. 1t is mounted on a stand, H.
as indicated at Fig. 8. This stand il
formed of two sections, one of which
is hinged upon the other, so that the
lamp may be moved laterally. By
means of a thumb screw, I, the two
sections may be clamped at any de-
sired position. The lamp Is taken
