STRANGE LITIGATION

Among the curiosities of litigation
may be cited the following case. On
the boundary-line Of two farms in an
Austrian village, there grew large
yooseberry bush, from which two
farmers for years gathered the prod
act. What grows on my side is mine.
and you may have the rest was the
agreement
Some time ago the neighbors had
! misunderstanding, and this came to
4 climax when the gooseberries be-
came ripe. A lawsuit followed, and
appeals were made to higher judicial
bodies. The final decision was lately
recorded in the Austrian courts.
Each party is to have the right to
pick the berries which grow on his
side Of the line, just as it was orig
ally, but neither may destroy the
bush. The costs are charged half
to each litigant. Each farmer had to
pay 255 krone. The yearly yield OF
the bush is worth about one-half
krone. and the judge told the fighting
farmers:
With good luck, it will take you
only 800 years to make the bush pay

FEARLESS RAVENS

From time immemorial ravens have
been the subject of song. story, and
superstition. Their fearlessness. trick
cry. contradictory manners, artfulness,
harsh note, ugly form, and beautiful
black plumage have formed the theme
for many a bird-lore story.
Perhaps one of the most curious
facts about the raven is that while
there is no more shy bird, or one more
difficult to get near to, when it is wild,
none tames more easily, and when
tanned it is totally fearless. When
Wild the raven will never dare to at
tack any bird, but will steal eggs or
young, and hover around uttering the
most dismal croaks. But once tanned,
he thinks nothing of walking up to
your dog and using old Towser's back
as Il sort OF penwiper for cleaning his
beak and will often go so far, if the
dog Is asleep, as to pull the animals
ears and tweak it's tail, flying away
with q great scurry when the dog
growls at him, but returning again in
a few minutes to renew the attack.

FEET DEMAND PROPER CARE
Are Hardworked Members Of the Body
and Deserve Better Treatment
Than They Receive.

Women who spend hours caring for
their hands pay little attention to their
feet They are such hardworked mem
bers of the body that they deserve bet
ter treatment
Feet are best kept in condition by
shoes that fit. Never economic IN
shoe leather. and do not yield to vanity
and get foot gear that is too small.
Frequent bathing keeps the feet
from being tired and swollen and 1t
prevents roughness of the skin that
leads to callous spots.
Water in which bit of washing
soda has been dissolved is restful. Hot
salt water is equally refreshing. while
a vigorous rubbing with alcohol will
quickly relieve burning sensation.
Pumice stone. used frequently, keeps
the skin smooth 1t is especially neces-
sary on the heels and on the ball OF
the foot, where the weight of the body
rests in walking.
Never cut the nails too short, as they
are more likely to become ingroWn.
And file them smooth with sandpaper,
so they will not catch and pull the
threads of your stockings.
Occasionally visit chiropodist. He
will detect any irregularity in the
growth of nails and money and pain
are saved

Rick-Rack Braid,

Twenty-Five years and more ago
every one who had a moment to spare
was making lace from the so-called
rick-rack braid There were collars
of rick-rack. cuffs Of rick-rack, edgfngs
Of rick-rack, and even entire over
dresses for the small daughter made
of this braid. Within a short time
the tiny bundles of the braid have
again appeared in the stores, and
have made a strong bid for popularity
according to the Newark News. Al
ready one sees some very attractive
needlewOrk made with this braid as
foundation landings of it are being
used for trimming wash gowns and
some exceptionally pretty table
doi!ies and runners are edged with
rick-rack trimming.

MARINERS QUEER MlxUP

One OF the most extraordinary
stories ever told of the sea is related
by Captain Engellandt, owner of the
steel sailing ship Erndte. He was at
sea with three men on board when
great gale came sweeping and tearing
and screaming over the waves, and
drove his vessel before it into the
gathering blackness of night. The
skipper stuck to the wheel all through
the long hours of darkness, and the
gale dying down to a snarlhg growl
at a. M. he relinQuished his post
and stepped down to his cabin for
change Of clothes.
1t wa6 at this moment the real bust
ness OF the day began. He had just
got into dry underclothing when the
vessel quietly turned bottom upward,
and he found himself standing on the
roof of the cabin, with the door over
his head Theoretically sealed by the
ocean. Was ever a man in such straits
before
He climbed through into the hold
of the vessel, where he found raisins,
condensed milk, prunes, rice, and, of
course, Teutonic sausage. Eating
sparingly of this healthy fare. and
hammering on the steel bottom of
the boat to attract the attention of
any ship that hight happen to pass,
he spent II days in this strange man
ner before he was rescued. The wreck
had to be towed to a mighty crane
before steel plate could be unloos-
ened and the skipper be free to look
once more on the blue sky.

A SUNLESS VILLAGE

In the valley of the Lyn, near Lyn-
mouth, North Devon, there is a quaint
little hamlet called Midlothian, where
for three months in the year the sun
is not seen.
The cluster Of houses forming the
hamlet is surrounded on all sides by
hills so steep and high that from No.
ve5cacr until February the sun does
not rise nigh enough to be seen over
their tops.
The first appearance OF the sun is
eagerly locked for, and as it is first
seen on February IA, the inha bitants
call it their valentine
If the day should be foggy or
cloudy SO ;l.:it it cannot be seen, there
is great disappointment, especially
among the children.
For the first few days after the
l4th the sun is only seen for a very
short time. but as the sun rises higher
in the heavens the time it is in sight
increases daily until its height is
reached. when it gradually begins to
fade from view again until in Novem-
Der it entirely vanishes from sight
for another three months.

Aluminium Shower for Bride.

While the bride to whom such

these time-honored affairs are apt
nowadays to be given with some new
twist without losing their practical
character.
For instance. many brides this year
will be showered with aluminium in
stead of the ordinary kitchen tins and
enamels. This is. of course, more ex
pensive than the tin shower, but it
is more worth while, and by selecting
he smaller necessaries or by COM

Popular Stone.

One of the most popular stones this
season among the less costly jewels
is the amethyst. This beautiful and
most becoming stone is much valued
for it's lovely color, which is particu-

Silver, by the way, is better metal
to use with amethyst than gold. It's
cool grayish tone gives value to the
lovely purple of the stone and has Z
