Ruried l)pside Down.

If Major Labelliere Of Dorking was
buried on the top of Box hill, head
downward. in 1900. he probably got
the idea from Mr.. Hall of Leith Hill
place, who in 1867 built the tower on
the neighboring Leith hill and was
buried there six years later. The usual
Leith hill story, as recorded by one
writer, is that the tower marks the
spot where an eccentric farmer Of the
neighborhood was buried on horse
back upside down, so thar when the
world was turned. as he believed II
then soon would be, topsy turvey, he
might at last come up in the right pc
sition." The tradition might easily be
transferred from one hill TO Its neigh
Dor. There seems no doubt, however,
that Mr.. Hall was buried on the sum-
init Of I.eith hill.-London Chronicle.

NO Team Work In France.

The French nation is mass Of indl-
vidual particles. scintillating, assertive
strangers to all the ethics Of cohe-
sion. They are incapable Of team work.
writes Samuel P. Orth in the Atlantic.
You never read Of French football or
baseball or organized sports. They are
nation of individualists, brilliant In
dividualists Their philosophy, poetry.
art. music. science. literature, all bear
the imprint Of dividualism
that has filed the world with its ra-
dance. They defy every known law
Of human gravitation and fiy on in a
million fragments. careless Of results.
In truth. they never think of results.
They have the ehild's love for the do
ing and the child's scorn for the thing
done They begin more processes, In
ventions, contrivances, experiments,
and end fewer than all the rest OF Eu-
rope put together. The French pro-
pose; the Germans and the English dis
pose.
