Queerest Town In EnaIa nd.

The most curious town in England is
Northwich. There is not straight
street nor. in fact. a straight house in
the place. Every part Of it has the ap-
pearance Of an earthquake. Northwich
is the center Of the salt industry in
Cheshire, England. On nearly all sides
Of the town are big salt works, with
their engines pumping hundreds Of
thousands Of gallons Of brine every
week. At a depth Of some 200 or 800
feet are immense subterrancan lakes
of brine, and rs the contents Of these
arc pumped and pumped away the up

ings, and they arc drawn all ways and
give the town an extremely dissipated
appearance.

PuzzIino Scottish Terms.

There are many puzzling differences
between Scottish and English law
terms. For instance, bankruptcy is in
Scotland an 'act Of sequestration," a
solicitor is either n writer" or a claw
agent" the argument in a case is the
"debate," the aSsze is the jury, a
wrongdoer is delinquent" an idiot
in Scottish LAWS "a fatuous per-
son." and burglary is with true Scot
fish cautiom "housebreaking with an
aggravation." Finally, an author is In
Scotland not person who writes, but
the vendcr or seller Of real property,
from whom the title to it is derived.

where the roads are weak. break

"One great difficulty in enforcing
wide-tire ordinances with horse-drawn

ton is required with wide tires. on
slippery clay or billy roads, II is very
difficult In wet weather TO manage a
