Locked AntIers In Glacier.

Mute evidence OF mortal combat
that may have occurred centuries ago
was revealed to j. X. Magnussen, a
timber cruiser on the slopes of Mount
Baker, says the Portland Oregonian.
Lying In the lower edge of Roose
welt glacier were the crumbling bones
of buck deer Of more than ordinary
size. Digging down into the ice the
cruiser uncovered the remains of a
second animal, the body in an excel.
lent state of preservation. The ant.
lers of the animals were tightly in
terlocked, showing that the deer had
died in battle.
From the position of the skeleton
and the body in the glacier Magnus-
sen is Of the opinion that they had
been carried a long distance down the
mountain side. AS the glacier flows
only four or five inches a day the bat
tie of the bucks may have occurred
centuries ago.

This curious incident comes from
Suhr, Switzerland: An inspector OF
schools, without any previous warn
ing. visited the village school and
found the elderly teacher asleep at
his desk and the children departed
having apparently taken French leave
To give the teacher great surprise
and a bad quarter of an hour, the in.
spector decided to wait until he
awoke and seated himself on a bench
in front of the oulprit. The hours
passed and the Inspector himself
went to sleep. The teacher, on awak
ening and seeing who was sleeping
before him, quietly left the school for
home. Without entering the school
room the concierge locked up the
school and the slumbering Inspector
Several hours later the concierge
heard a great noise and, arming him
self, opened the door, and was greatly
surprised to find the angry inspector
before him.

PLAYED CARDS IN GRAVEYARD
Old-Time Practice Was Until Recent
iy INDUCED Ir At Least One Place
In the United Kingdom.

There is a churchyard In the Bor-
ough OF st. Marylebone, London, in
which q tombstone is pointed out to
visitors as the one on which Hogarth's
idle apprentice" threw dice. Atten-
ton has just been called TO the fact
that this practice of gambling on
tombstones has come down TO the
present day in at least one graveyard
in the United Kingdom.
A lawsuit just decided has stopped
the practice in the churchyard Of
Dungarvan, an Irish village, where
some of the inhabitants were In the
habit OF playing cards on the slabs
placed over graves and of dancing to
the music of an accordion. The rep
resentative church body was the COM
plainant in the case. / sought and
obtained an injunction against sixteen
persons, restraining them from tres
passing upon the battle-ground and
premises adjacent to the Church of st.
Mary. The master of rolls, who heard
the case held that this privilege was
one OF permission, and not right, and
that churchyard was dedicated to
the service of God, and not TO the rec
reation Of man.
In the days before the Reformation
authorities say, the parish churchyard
was used as public playground.
Games and revels were commonly
held there on Sundays and holidays.
At Whitsuntide there was sort OF
church fair, held in graveyards, at
which ale brewed by the church war
dens was served, while dice-throwing.
card-playing and bowls were per-
mitted. Cock-fighting in churchyards
did not cease until the eighteenth
century. There Is story told that q
wealthy man in Hurstbourne Tarrant.
a village of Hampshire, ordered that
a fiat tombstone, large enough to en-
able the boys to play marbles on IT.,
should be placed over his grave.

FAMOUS LEAPS OF BYARD
Hoof Prints Near Newmarket That
Mark Jumps of the Legendary
Blind Horse.

Near Newmarket, in Lincolnshire,
England, there are three marks of a
horses hoofs, and each mark is seven
yards distant from the other. Every
man who farms the field is careful to
keep these marks from being grass
grown or plowed up. For they are the
famous marks of Byard's leap, which
is recounted in the following story;
There was once witch of New.
market who bewitched the cattle and
crops of her neighbors and did all sorts
Of mischief, and at last one farmer
went to wise man and asked him
what to do to overcome the witch.
Tie a naked dagger around your
waist" said the wise man. Then
drive your horses into a pond at night
and throw a stone into the pond.
Mount the horse that lifts his head up
first and gallop off TO the witchs hut
and bid her out to ride with you"
Byard, blind horse, was the first
to raise his head when the farmer
threw the stone, so the farmer mount
ed him and galloped to the witch's
hut.
"Out and ride with me! Out and
ride with mel"
And out came the witch. She jump
ed at the horse, and Byard made his
first leap, and got away. She jumped
again, and Byard made his second
leap and got away. AT the third leap
she sprang behind the farmer and
wound her skinny arms about his
waist. But the dagger cut her left
arm, and she lost all her power, and
was never able to trouble anybody
again.

PSYCHOLOGY OF DRESSING UP
Fancy Dress Balls Supply Cravings
of Ignored Nature, According
to Observer.

The extraordinary vogue of the
fancy dress ball OF late years-espe-
cially when 1t is one Of monster d.
mensions-is one OF the straws which
show which way the wind of national
character is blowing.
For it is not only the young and
curly who throng these gay scenes,
but serious people Of middle age, of
exalted position, and even of advanced
years.
/ fancy this rage for dressing up"
appeals to something profound and in
stinctive in human nature. If you
look with observant eyes at the trav-
estisd figures around you, you will
discover that the dress chosen is SYM
BIBLICAL of secret aspiration, a
thwarted desire, an unacknowledged
ambition.
Thus, the young man who must cen
sit on an Office stool year in, year out,
will brszen it as a pirate, or in the
sauciest of cavalry uniforms.
The British matron will put on the
flounces and languors Of the Travi-
alta, or the striped stockings and mob
cap of a soubrette.
So, also, you shall see ladies Of high
degree scantily attired as Bacchantes,
and leading Dionysian dances, while
the soldier or lawyer will impersonate
Pierrot, and girls of Eighty manners
in private life appear, with downcast
lids, as Puritans or nuns.
Perhaps some such outlet for poor
human nature, which is squeezed into
grooves for which il is often i'll fitted,
is a kind of safety valve which ought
to be encouraged.
Nature is said to take terrible re-
venges on those who steadily ignore
her The putting on Of motley is an
innocent form of occasionally obeying
her behests.-London Sketch.

Strange Things In the Wash.

The women are in such a hurry
these days TO get to their clubs that
they are rather careless in wrapping
up their family washing which goes to
the laundry. Such articles as combs,
brushes, shoe-buttoners, pocket knives,
dishes and many other articles are
quite ordinary finds in family wash
ings. Recently an Erie laundryman
rolled poodle dog out of family
washing. Last week he found an

Bravery a State Of Mind.

The Norsemen never feared death.
They were as brave on land as on the
sea- 1t was their belief that brave
warriors at death would be taken to
the land of Valhalla. where they might
fight and hunt and feast for ages. They
believed that every night wounds re-
ceived during the day would heal. and
they would be ready for fresh adven-
lures in the morning.

Famous Pearls in History.

We read of pearls-oyster pearls.
as they were called-in Chinese rec
ords dating back nearly 1900 years,
and Persian history and Persian poetry
abound in mention of the pearl as a
symbol of purity, and this association
of ideas has persisted until the pres
ent day. But 1t is a curious fact that
though we have read so much about
famous pearls which have played great
parts in history, there is hardly an
authentic instance of any pearl being
still in existence which has any an
tiquity OF its own or made history OF
any Importance. This is partly due
TO the fact that valuable pearls we're
nearly always stolen in the brave days
of yore, and their unlawful ownera
had good reason for concealing their
