Tea prinkino In siam.

Tea is to be found in every tent and
dwelling in Siam. There is always a
kettle on the fire filed with tea and
prepared for drinking, which is done
by adding milk, butter and salt. This
is their way of fixing this beverage
and is said to be pleasant after one
becomes accustomed to it A peculiar
mode of hospitality is shown by these
people in reference to their tea. 1t Is
always at the disposal of every stran-
ger and traveller. He need not ask for
it. Neither is it expected that he
should, but he must have his own cup.
This is imperative, and accordingly
every one carries a cup with him at all
times Some of these utensils are mar
vels Of workmanship and are highly
valued. They are generally made Of
some fine grained wood and ofttimes
are lined with silver and gold.

PRESENCE OF MIND.

The Earl Kept His Head, and the
Highwayman Lost His.
In Sporting Days and Sporting
Ways" Ralph NeviIl relates two incl
dents of the early nineteenth century
in which English highwaymen figure:
'In August, 1919, Lady Stanley.
travelling from York accompanied by
her servant, was stopped by high
way1nan, when the maid in her alarm
took up a bottle of ginger beer, and
the cork flying out made such a report
that the highwayman instantly galiop-
ed off in great alarm"
Lord Berkeley's encounter with one
of the famous gentlemen Of the road"
had more serious consequences:
Being driven over Hounslow Heath
he was awakened from sleep by his
coach being brought to a standstill
and a threatening face looking in at
the window.
I have you at last, my lord, said
a gruff voice. though you said you
would never yield to a robber Deliver"
Certainly was the earl's reply.
but tell me first who is that looking
over your shoulder?
THE highwayman turned his head
to look and at the same moment Lord
Berkeley shot him through the bead
dead"

rha Linn Of ST. Marx.

The symbol of the Venetian republic
the famous lion of st. Marks made
of bronze. There is tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white, ag-
ates. faceted. Its name is most elaho-
rately wrought, and its retracted. gap
ing mouth and its fierce mustaches
give it an oriental aspect The crea-
ture as it now stands belongs to many
different epochs. varying from some
date previous to our era down to this
century. 1t is conjectured that it may
have originally formed a part of the
decoration of some Assyrian palace.

originally, for 1t was made to stand

To cook a potato pie at the top Of q
chimney 800 feet high by means Of the
heat generated in the fires below would
seem an impossible task, yet such a
feat was on one occasion accomplished
BY John Faulkner, famous Lanca-
shire steeplejack. The incident was
the outcome of wager between Faulk-
ner and the manager of Manchester
gas works, who doubted Johns state
ment regarding the excessive heat A
large iron kettle was procured, and
this. being filed with the necessary in
gredients-sixty-si pounds in weight
was hoisted to the summit of the huge
chimney stack. Faulkner placed the
receptacle on the outer and coolest side
# the brickwork, but despite this the
contents were found to be thoroughly
cooked in one hour and twenty min
utes. or ten minutes less than the supu-
lated time. Faulkner won his wager,
and the pie, which, 1t was said. was
slightly burned at the bottom. was
afterward distributed among the poor
of the district-London Answers.
