from Mr.. Copper to exhaust every
resource in making the general in

= FREEDOM OF LONDON.
II Carries With It the Right to Keep
Pigs In st. James Parish.

Many towns in Great Britain enjoy
special and peculiar privileges. When,
some years ago, parliament deprived
the Cinque Ports of their ancient privi-
leges. Brightlingsea. a Cinque Port
limb" or "appanage," was In some
way overlooked. Consequently its in
habitants are still exempt from serv-
ing on juries, they cannot be taken by
the press gang, and the town can still
appoint its own ale faster. 1t is at
BrightliLgsea that the ceremony of
electlng the mayor takes place in the
belfry of the parish church.
In at least one manor, that of the
Earl of Carnarvon. the inhabitants
may cheerfully disregard the enact
ments of the ground game act, passed
twenty years ago The ancient right
Of free chase and warren over freehold
iand is still in force there. Indeed it
was actually exercised a very few
years ago, and a private bill was
away with it. The bill however failed
to become law.
The freedom of the city of London
carries with it, nominally, at any rate,
the right to keep pigs in the parish of
st. James, Piccadilly. But, if any one
was disposed to avail himself of this
liberty land in that part of London is
somewhat too costly for profitable pig
arming.-LOndon Family Herald.

Sir Edward Harland was the founder

legend at the works. 1t was said that
he used to survey the workmen through

residence, Ormiston. All the men felt
that his eye was on them. A riveter
who has spite against a fellow work

riveter in this act and. as soon as he
arrived at the works. walked up to the
man and sacked him.

Bears One Crop and Dies.

The sago palm tree bears but one
crop of fruit. Its load of nuts is its
first and final effort in the way of fruit
bearing. The nuts become ripe and are
strewn in thousands around the tree
until the great stem stands up by itself,
empty and bare. The branches turn
brown and drop one by one to the
ground Inside the trunk the work of
decay is going on until what at one
time was mass of white sago and
pith becomes nothing but a collection
of rotten brown fbers. One day the
trade wind blows more strongly than
usual, and the leafless column of the
trunk falls with a crash. destroying in
it's fall many of the young palms that
are already springing from the nuts
scattered some months before.

The OPEN MOUTH.
Causes That Induce II When We Are
lntently Listening.

Causes That Induce Il When We Are
lntently Listening.
Why do we open our mouths when
intently listening?
There are three causes. entirely in
dependent Of one another. but acting
in unison, for this action. There is a
passageway called the eustachian tube,
connecting the back of the throat and
the middle ear, the part behind the
drum. When intently listening we
hold our breath. and this permits
sound waves to enter the mouth and
reach the eustachian tube. and in this
way they reach the drum and re-en-
force the sound waves that come
through the natural channel. the outer
ear.
In concentrated attention the mind is
fully engrossed in the one subject, and
1t loses control over voluntary muscles
that are not directly affected by the
subject or the process involved In the
motor activity that accompanies men
tai activity. The muscles are relaxed,
the lower jaw drops. and this opens
the mouth.
The third cause is referable to alta.
vism. or the tendency to return in form
or action to an early type. Early man,
like the animals, was urged to action
by the fundamental instincts, self
preservation and race preservation.
His two aims were to secure food and
avoid or destroy enemies. Like the
animals. when his attention was at
tracted by a sound he placed himself
in the attitude for instant defense. at.
tack or securing food In this attitude
his mouth was open to grasp instantly
what came in his way The tendency
to open the mouth when intently lis.

On the Dead Rush Because He Had Nc

In Chicago there is a man whom his
friends know as Inahurry Jones. One
morning about 10 o'clock a man with
southern blood in his veins saw Jones,

how tremendous matter was depend

Jones rushed into the Palmer House,
rushed up to the cigar stand, grabbed
cigar, yelled back, "Puteronmyac-

words, and dashed out with the south
erner painting hard behind. After tear
ing down Washington street for half
a block he dived into the Field Office
building and just missed being JAM

termination not to lose a car.
The southerner took the next car up
and entered Jones' Office timidly. GER

conference of at least four of the most
important men in Chicago's financial
world. Inside he found Jones smoking

ANTS HAVE FIVE NOSES.
The Sense of Smell Is Very Important
to These Insects.


to These Insects.
In their antennae, or feelers. ants
have five noses, each of which has its
own duties to perform.
One nose tells the ant whether it is
in its own. nest or that of an enemy;
another Nose discriminates between
odors of ants of the same species, but
of different colonies: third nasal or
gan serves the purpose of discerning
the scent laid down by the ants own
feet, so that it may be able to retrace
the way quite easily: a fourth nose
smells the larvae and pupae. and the
fifth nose detects the presence of an
enemy.
If an ant be deprived of certain
nose, it will live peaceably with enc
mics, but if it retains its fifth nose it
will fight the alien to the death. There
is difference in the functions of nose
one and nose five. although they ap.
pear to be somewhat alike.
This sense of smell does not come
till the ants are three days old. If.
therefore, ants only twelve hours old
are placed among Others belonging to
different colonies, they will grow up
quite amicably and not understand
that they are a mixed lot, because
they will have grown up with ideas of
scent in accordance with their sur
roundings. The sense of smell to them
is as important as the sense of sight
to human beings.
