This was the laconic message re

Oldest example OF community farming
by an Englishspeaking people In the

throughout the valley, their houses
built close together and facing COM

forming forts. Some OF these old COM

hs Liked to Play Practical Jokes Upon
His Invited Guests.
We all like our little joke, and east
ern potentates have from time imme-
mortal enjoyed the reputation Of be-
ing the merriest Of monarchs. The
Moorish palace Of Sultan Abu Yakub
Yussuf at Seville-known today as the
Alcazar-contains one Of the most
elaborate practical jokes extant. When
in a gay mood some important mer-
chant or notable of Seville would re-
ceive a pressing invitation summoning
him to the presence. In fever Of de-
lighted expectancy the flattered guest
would don his whitest raiment and HE
him to the palace.
There he would be tremendously
conducted to the gardens and directed
up the long avenue. But, alas, half
way up it he would inevitably tread
upon a moving fagstone resting upon
a spring, and Immediately countless
fine jets Of water would gush out Of
the ground and from the surrounding
Shrubbery and drench him. Amid the
jeers of the courtiers the luckless and
bedraggled wight would beat an I'M
dignified retreat. Before he was al.
lowed to leave the palace, however, he
was sworn to secrecy on pain of death.
At all costs nothing must make the
Joke fall fat when repeated.
The treacherous flagstone has been
removed, and today the visitor may
pass with impunity, but peseta to
the head gardener will usually cause
the fountains to play. Not many peo-
pie know of their existence, however.
The water is sprayed through hun
dreds Of tiny pipes, so small as to be
almost invisible, which are placed in
the cracks between the flagstones.-

1.-THE further we get from this cen
ter the wider should be. the zones.
and with each succeeding zone there
should be an increase of rates. 1t
would not be practicable to definitely
fix the various rates in an act OF
congress. They should be adjusted
upon a scientific basis, and should
be susceptible Of change by the post
Office department, or by some com
petent adjusting board, in the light OF
experience, and in accordance with
principles which can be enacted into
law. Without such elasticity the best
results cannot be expected. In order
to make the law more definite and to
avoid any possible misunderstanding,
or abuse of the principle involved it
might be we'll to name in the act a
maximum and a minimum rate for
each zone, leaving the precise rate to
be fixed at definite points between
these two extremes.
"The maximum weight of parcels
is purely arbitrary. Based upon for
eign experience there seems to be a
consensus of opinion that it would be
about eleven pounds. That there
should be some limit goes without
saying, but it seems to me that this
is matter which could be best de:
termined by experience, and that a
maximum weight of twenty pounds
might be safely adopted with discre
tionary power in the postoface de-
patment to fix the limit 1t any
point between ten pounds and twenty
pounds, and to make subsequent
change in such limit whenever it
