Used Wells as cranarIes?

In the counties of Kent and Sussex fn England there are to be seen cer- tain curious well-like excavations, popularly supposed to date from the time of Danish rule in England. These are invariably about three feet In diameter. and seldom less than six ty feet in depth. Ingress and egress were provided for by means of rude ladders or hide ropes.
 Various explanations have been of fered to account for their existence, some supposing them to have been places of refuge, others that they were connected with secret forms of wor- ship, still others that they were dug for the extraction of chalk and flint. The latter theory inclines to the view Chat the holes were made to serve az granaries- They are found close to- gether in groups, corresponding with the habit of various tribes of cluster ing in restricted areas.-Harper's Weekly

He Got Fined Anyhow.

In a sparsely settled region of West Virginia a motor car driver was once haled before local magistrate upon the complaint of a constable The magistrate. good-natured man. was not, however. absolutely certain that khe Washingtonian's car had been driv- en too fast. and the owner stoutly in- sisted that be had been progressing at the rate of only six miles an hour.
 why. your honor" he said. my en- zine was out of order. and I was going very slowly because I was afraid it would break down completely. I give you my word. sir. you could have walked as fast as I was running"
 Well" said the magistrate, after due reflection. you don't appear to have been exceeding the speed limit. but at the same time you must have been guilty of something or you wouldn't be here fine you S1O for lettering"

NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACTS
While Drinking Stolen Beer Lunatlo- Informs Policeman of Ills Legal
 Standing.

Joseph H. Choate, the lawyer, said recently at dinner in New York, apropos of the movement toward bar ring insanity as a defense for murder:
 The insane, you know, are too prone to take advantage of their weaknesses. A lunatic, out walking with his keeper, saw case of beer in front of a grocery. He broke away, ran to the case, and opening a bottle, began to drink 1t down, at the same time, ramming with the other hand other bottles into his pocket, just as fast as he could.
 Here, here. said a policeman this won't do.'
 "'Go away was the reply; you can't do anything to me. I'm lunatic, and I'm not responsible for my ac- tions'"

MOUNTAIN GOAT A NUISANCE
Annoy Alaskan Miners by Getting Into Their Tunnels and Eating Their
 Location Stakes.

Miners in Mineral Gulch. Alaska. are having considerable trouble with mountain goats
 During stormy weather the goats crowd into the tunnels that are being driven on the claims we'll up on the mountains. and 1t Is only by throwing a dynamite cartridge into the tunnels in the morning that they can be driven out and the contractors get in to go to work
 It is also stated that they are likely to be the cause of considerable liti- gation among mine owners next year as they have destroyed a number of To- cation stakes by eating them
 Owing to the fact that alder and willow comprise the only wood in the gulch. nearly all the location stakes are of these woods. which. in the ab- sence of other food. the goats attack eagerly.
 A great many of the animals have been killed by the men at work in the gulch. but the number seems to in- crease rather than diminish

Mrs. crunoy.

What will Mrs. Grundy say?" This query occurs in an old play called Speed the Plough" The author of 1t was one Thomas Morton, a forgotten playwright. First acted in 179s-ths year of the Battle of the Nile, and the Irish Rcbellion-this play had then a run" of forty-one nights and sub seQuently 1t was much revived. A farmers wife in the play, Mrs. Ash field by name, insistently refers to her rival, the wife of neighboring far mer, whom she calls Mrs Grundy. This second woman does not appear on the stage. It is the ruling passion with Mrs. Ashfield to have everything superior to what Mrs. Grundy may possess. In the keenness of feminine rivalry Mrs. Ashheld is controlled in all her investments in personal ap- parel, when selecting her new gown, her bonnet, her jewelry, in all she does, indeed, by the determination to -spite" her rival as expressed in the exclamation, What will Mrs. Grundy say?" From Morton's Speed the Plough" came to us the invisible yet ubiquitous Mrs Grundy. By a curl ous transfer of symbolism, however, Mrs. Grundy passed with time into a concrete and personal equivalent for the public opinion which supports the proprieties. the responsibilities.

An old bathroom may be almost made over with unlimited white enam- el paint The woodwork, floors and wall may all be painted. even the in side of an old tub
 Before painting the tub, 1t is neces- sary to be absolutely sure that the tin is entirely free from grease; oth- erwise the enamel will soon crack of |; in fact, two or three coats should be given it as a foundation for the en- amel.

1 central tower, the rose window in the nave are of old stained glass, the carving of the triforium is exquisite, the altars are works of a master hand. The long pointed windows in the body of the church, throw mellow, many colored lights across the stone floor. lighting here and there the deep shadows of the aisles.
 The greater part of the cathedral was built during the thirteenth cen tury and is cited by Ruskin in his Lectures on Architecture" as being "one of the earliest. if not the very earliest, examples of the fully-devel- oped spire, showing the complete do mesticity of the work, the evident treatment of the church spire merely as a magnified house roof
 The view from the top of the west ern tower Is deservedly renowned Below, in the foreground, are the sloping fields; the green of the or chards on the hillsides; an old mill and its quiet stream; farther away the ruins of the Roman aqueduct; in the distance, through the haze, rise the Isle of Jersey and the roofs of St. Malo.
 In the medieval town of Dol the fif- teenth century houses are rather fa- nous for their oddity. Situated on the Rue St. Jacques, their upper sto- ries project far over the lower, and are supported by stone pillars, the matched roofs slope low over the street, the rooms are mere holes, blackened by squalor and constant use However, that does not at all prevent their being occupied at the present time. and the daily routine of life continues quite as well within CT and newer houses. Dol has also famous cathedral and one hotel. And the hotel has a reputation of its own. All the guide books state that the best chocolate served in France is to be had here.
 The cathedral stands apart some what isolated at the edge of the town. Its most striking feature Is the fifteenth century portal on the south side, with the beautiful porch of Saint Magloire. It is most unique in it's oH6CJ, US uldSSlN0 dICuOS dT6 c4QuAS- itely carved, with designs in delicate tracery over the doorway and about the windows. Otherwise the exterior is extremely simple, even plain, and Is not enhanced by one of the towers be- ing unfinished.
 The somber gloom of the interior was frightened by dozens of candles burning on the high altar. It was fete day, in whose honor the chapels were decorated with gaudy artificial flowers The original stained glass of the thirteenth century Is still in- tact in large window in the choir; in one of the transepts is the tomb of Bishop James, who died in 1903; un- fortunately Its sculpturing Is mutilated and marred and its statue by Jean Juste, Is lost.
 One of the most beautiful inner chapels Is built in honor of St. Sam son, an English monk to whom the ca- thedral is dedicated, and who Is said to have crossed the channel and founded a monastery on the site of Dol

ABOUT FARM COOKING
REASONS WHY IT TOO OFTEN IS
 NOT OF THE BEST.
Women Not Given Proper Chance to Do Good Work-condItIons Such That Wholesome, Nutritious
 Meals Are Impossible.

We believe that more dyspeptics are every year produced on the farm counting equal numbers-than in the cities. and this belief Is based on many years of observation and con. siderable actual experience
 | The reverse would naturally seem to be true, as the farm cook has a great advantage over her sister in the city in the matter of raw mate rials-fruits. vegetables, butter. milk and poultry, being always at hand in abundance and fresh and wholesome in condition.
 With these advantages it may be , the charge then is due to ignorance i or carelessness or both of the women folk on the farm But this is not al ways true.
 The fact is that the men, who by the way are the severest critics, are | themselves to blame. They do not give their wives half a chance to do good cooking. On thousands of pros porous farms the housewife never has sufficient time to do her work well i; she is not provided with the proper facilities. Her kitchen is provided with nothing more than the barest necessities and she is deprived of such aids as hot and cold water. quick fuel and an abundance of cooking utensils and tableware.
 She is not only the cook but the handspring of the whole family. She is doctor. nurse. counselor and friend; -f ~~f ten milks the COWS, makes the but ter, hoes the garden and makes new clothing for her husband and children. mends the old, sweeps and dusts, gathers her own vegetables and fruit and prepares them for cooking.
 She is expected to make no ex- cuses when the meals for the family large or small. are not ready and on the table to the minute.
 Naturally. under these conditions which exist on thousands of farms and they are not overdrawn. no wom an, no matter how good cook she may be. can properly prepare and cook wholesome and nutritious food.
 If the farm cooking is to be i'm proved the men must supply their wives with everything needed in the kitchen and pantry. They must sup ply them with help. at least until the children are old enough to assist.
 The wife must insist upon having what she needs to work with and she must abandon the work of the dairy, garden and the poultry to the men folk. She can teach her chil- dren. either boys or girls. to be of great assistance in her daily tasks She can so regulate her work hours that she will have time in which to do good cooking. But, she cannot do these things alone; she must have the active and sympathetic assistance of her husband, and if he refuses to give her these, the family must be aban. doned to dyspepsia and it's attendant miseries.-Exchange.

Champ Clark loves to tell how lIA the heat of a debate Congressman Johnson of Indiana called an Illinois representative jackass. The expres- sion was unparliamentary, and in re- traction Johnson said:
