Even Cursed the kinq.

The period that followed the blacl; death was the golden age of the Eng fish peasant. Says Piers Plowman The laborers that have no land and work with their hands deign no longer to dine on the stale vegetables of yes terday. Penny ale will not suit them nor bacon, but they must have fresh meat or fish, fried or baked. and that hot and hotter for the chill of their nav. Unless he be highly paid he will chide and bewail the time he was made workman. Then he curses tile king and all the kings justices for making such laws that grieve the la borer." Even the peasant with fix ed interest in the soil was strong enough in many cases to extort a charter from the lord of the manor with rental at cents an acre per an. nun.

carnens of Seville.

The most astonishing building In the Cnlle le San Fernando. Seville. is the immense two srIry DarUque editice that covers more ground than the ca thedral plus the court of oranges and serves the purpose of tobacco fac tory. The portal is adorned with busts of Columbus and Fernando Cortes, and I wish very much that we had had time to go inside and see these many cigarette girls at their work. As we passed thought again of Carmen and the story of Bizet's fantastic Sevillian opera, for about 5000 Carmens or ''ci- garreras" like Carmen are employed in this factory and attire themselves today in gay gowns and fascinating mantillas, with flowers tucked under their ears and coquettishly placed in their hair, very much like the heroine of the opera. Like the opera also, ad- joining the factory are the artillery barracks, and one imagines 1t to be quite possible that some impressiona- ble Don Jose should be fascinated by some of these piquant and pretty Car mens.-From Royal Spain of Today" by Mrs. Tryphosa Bates s-Batcheller.

Queer People of Papua.

Tn the Girara country, Papua. a dis trict of New Guinea, where the coun- try is almost entirely submerged, the natives are said to claim descent from the dog. They possess five totems. which are drawn on all their houses. Their villages are erected on hillocks so as to be clear of the water, and tn people of each village inhabit one large, common house, sometimes as much as 400 to 800 feet long and 60 to 80 feet in width. The center of th.s huge building is kind of common hall. which is used only by the men. while the walls of the structure are divided into cubicles in three or four floors. access to which is gained by means of ladders. The women are not allowed to enter the building by the same door as the men. A great deal of sorcery prevails in the western diyi- sion. In the wilder parts of the coun try the chief is himself a head sorcer CT. He claims to be able to separate his spirit from his body and to send 1t on various missions, including that Of killing people.

Seaside Golf In EncIand.

The seaside courses are so open and the wind so strong that the straight ball down the middle of the alley" (the kind we crave for hereJ is practi- cally an utter stranger on those courses. In fact, there would be no ad- vantage in even trying to keep the ball straight in most cases, but really a disadvantage, since the ball in a cross wind, for instance, would be fighting against the wind. Instead. the wind Is made a friend and is used to advan- tage by employing the useful hook and slice (according to the direction of the windy to work with the wind-and a long ball usually results. Those hard hitters who can play a reasonable hook or slice certainly do some really fine smacking. They know how to start the ball for the right place. at the proper height and with the proper de gree of slice or hook imparted to it so that it usually ends up in the right spot a considerable distance past the place arrived at by the man who only plays the straight ball and simply al lows for the wind.-Outing.

One day the artists wife had been showing the sights of the town to a solemn visaged cousin.

JackaI Flies of India.

There are certain East Indian flies. several varieties of them apparently of similar type to our own house favorite. Musca domestica, that have developed a rather ingenious, if somewhat dis reputable, way of making living This is the story told by Captains Pat ton and Craig in the Indian Journal of Medical Research. The proboscis of these flies is soft and not suitable for piercing the skin of man. or the lower animals. So they hang around some one of the several types of biting flies. and when the latter pierces the skin of victim they crowd him away and use the incision for feeding them. selves If the bitter happens to be too large or fierce thus to be driven from his prey, the fly jackals wait until he is finished and then take his place In view of these observations it seems quite possible that the so called non biting flies may play a hitherto unsuS pected role in the transmission of dis ease.

Oil Field In Pacific Ocean,

Unique among the oil fields of the world is the Summerland group of wells in California, which extend out into the Pacific ocean. There are 141 producing wells in this group, which is situated about eighteen miles from Santa Barbara. These wells are drilled out in the ocean just off the coast and 100000 barrels are taken from the oil sands underlying the ocean bed every year. This interesting spectacle of derricks built out into the sea Is visible from the train on the way from Los Angeles to San Francisco.-Engineer ing and Mining Journal.

The parents of ten-year-old boy had so much trouble making him hear their calls while he was at play that they decided his hearing was defective. So they took him to d specialist.
 The latter made several of the ordi- nary tests, and the boy could hardly hear word. To all appearances there was something radically wrong with his hearing. Shaking his head. the specialist walked into the far corner of the room.
