mer to keep people awake
At another English church, that OF
Acton, in Cheshire. it was the practice
during the middle of the last century
for one Of the churchwardens to pro-
coed through the church during service
with huge wand in his hand where.
with if any one Of the congregation
were observed to be asleep he was in
stantly awakened by tap on the head
In Warwickshire similar custom
prevailed. A warden bearing stout
wand shaped like hay Nrk at the end
stepped stealthily up and down the
nave and the aisles, and whenever he
saw an Individual asleep he touched
him so effectively that the nap was
broken, this being sometimes accom-.
plished by the application of the fork
to the nape Of the neck.
A more playful method obtained i
another church. The beadle went abou
during service carrying long staff, tt
one end of which was attached foxs
brush and to the other knob. Witt
the former he gently tickled the faces
Of the women sleepers, while with the
knob he bestowed sharp rap on the
heads Of male offenders.-Exchange

Grown Prince William Of Germany
fell from his horse the other day, re-
ceiving a few scratches, and the
great American dailies published his
picture under scareheads and gave
the trifing incident half-column
write-ups. Upon the same day John
Harris of Pittsburg, Pa, was cut to
pieces in saving the life of child
by rushing in front of moving
train, and the great dailies devoted
about an inch of space to the heroic
deed. To the average American this
toadying of the press to ''royal"
sapheads is sickening.

In all POI lives, in various parts of
the world, have been sacrificed to
aerial navigation since the plane
machines were invented. Fifteen of
these aviators were killed in the
month just closed, one of them while
engaged in the daring act of spying
upon Adrianople. Shrapnel from the
Turkish guns brought his machine
to earth. Two hundred and seven
lives is heavy toll to pay to expert
mentation, but ere the flying ma
chine is brought to state of perfec-
tion, where it is absolutely safe,
many more will lose their lives.

Her Simple Question.

A young man took young woman
friend to a ball game for the first
time, and in his superior knowledge
he asked her after the first inning was
over if there was anything about the
game she would like to have explained.
Just one thing" said the sweet
young thing. II wish you would ex-
plain how that rheumatic bush league
relic in the box ever gets the ball over
the plate without the aid of an express
wagon"
/ And in the silence that followed all
that could be heard was the faint
chugging of the young mans Adams
apple working feverishly up and down.

Two good stories of Carlyle appear

Ross. the daughter of the brillian,
Lady Duff Gordon:
The one Of our many visitors tc
Queen square whom l cordially dis
liked was Mr.. Carlyle. He was 1
great friend Of Mrs Austin and pro
1essed to admire Lucykin. as he called
my mother. very much. One after
noon he had a discussion with her or
German literature. and. her wonderful
eAoquence and fire prevailing, Carlyle
lost his temper and burst forth in his
Scotch tongue. You're just windbas

been listening with all my ears, as m,
grandmother always spoke with suct
enthusiasm about him; but, furious at
my mother being, as I thought, called
names by so uncouth a man. l inter.
Eupted and exclaimed, MY papa says
men should be civil to womenr For
which pert remark was reproved by
my mother. Mr.. Carlyle. however
was not offended and only observed
:Lucykin. that child of yours has az
eye for an inference
At a later age she had this expert
snce with him: my cousin. Henry
Reeve, the great Henry as we called
him. while others irreverently knew
him as Baron Puffendorf,' was al.
ways kind to me. When stayed with
him in Rutland Gate I took up my
cob, and we used to ride In the park
with his friend, Charles Greyille
whom did not much like, with De.
lane. jaunty and kindly, who had a
smile and a nod for every one and
looked fresher than many of the young
girls. although he was up till 2 or g
every morning at the Times Office, and
with Mr.. Carlyle.
'Henry welcomed Carlyle with effu.
sion. but generally managed that De-
lane or Charles Greville should ride
with him, while I had to go with Car.
lyle. One day as we were trotting his
wideawake blew off. A civil work.

1t is estimated that the grain yield
of the northwest this year will ex-
coed all previous records by IS, 900, 900
bushels. This will not, however,
necessarily depreciate prices to any
great extent, as there have been light
yields in many European countries
and they will therefore be compelled
to draw more heavily than usual
upon the supply of the United
States. The wheat crop of Argentine
and other South American republics
is also light in consequence of de-
structive storms.

BULLIOT'S RASH BET.

There were few frenzied financiers
In England at the beginning of the
eighteenth cetury if the banker Bull.
Hot, of whom the following story is
told, can be taken as an example: The
feast of St. Swithin, July Is, 1925, was
particularly wet and stormy day.
Trusting implicitly in the old super.
sdton which says that If it rains OF
st. Swithin's day it will rain for forty
days thereafter, Bulliot opened a pool
for every one who was willing to bet
against him. The affair attained SO
much notoriety that the wager was re.
duced to writing
IF, dating from st. Swithin's day."
reads the memorandum, lit rains more
or little during forty days successive
~ Bulliot will be considered to have
gained. but if it cease to rain for only
one day during that time BuIliot has
lost
For two weeks it continued to show
er every day. and so confident did the
banker become that he accepted as
stakes not only money, but gold head
ed canes. jewels. snuffboxes and even
clothes. When his cash gave out he
offered notes and bills of exchange.
Another week passed. and Bulliot's
star was still in the ascendant
But when the twenty-second day

1t is said that the Chicago cold
storage men are taking from the
tomb and placing on the market a
million or so of eggs which they
placed in the sepulchre in the sum-

Doc Wiley was squeezed out Of Office
ancient eggs can be disposed of by

to save 81 children who were in their
charge, six sisters of charity at St.
Johns orphanage, San Antonio, Tex

children would have lost theirs in
