methods he may resort to, with lit
tie expense TO himself, to prolong
the red tape of his removal, and then
when he goes the landlord may find
himself compelled to go to the courts
to collect rent, if the tenant happens
to have resources from which it may
be collected.
The situation here arises because
of the application of laws made in
the days when rental was a matter
of annual or semi-annual payment,
when moving" was rare occur
renee and when leases Were little
known. In few respects has the
District code failed to keep pace with
changing social conditions more
than in the landlord and tenant laws.

Feat Of a Wild Boar.

The boar Is a terrible enemy and also
an alarmingIy agile one. An English
sportsman tells OF a splendid escape
made by one of these creatures in
India.
This boar. which had been hard press
ed, galloped into a nullah, a very
sharp, deep cut. more like q narrow
chasm than a ravine. Down this,
along the bottom Of 1t, he raced. fol-
lowed by a man on a swift horse.
The banks on each side oTerhangtng
the boar were six feet or more In
height Suddenly the creature turned
a sharp corner, which hid him from
view. Then by tremendous EFFORT he
scaled the bank and gained the top.
He turned short around, leaped the
entire width Of the nullah and landed
safely on the other side. clearing both
horse and rider as he jumped save for
the mans pith helmet. which he knock
ed of. He had escaped by a narrow
margin

from the version familiar today. II

She's limp around the middle.
Her waist ye weel MIGHT span,

An she has a rolling zee.

Shark a Swimmers.

One I'll service nature has done the
shark-namely. that OF placing a TRAN
gular fin on his back. which acts as a
danger signal and gives warning Of his
approach Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity to
be aware Of this popularity. for had
he been so he would unquestionably
abandon his habit OF swimming close
to the surface Of the water and would
in that case be enabled TO approach
his victim unobseryed The shark is a
slow swimmer for his size and strength.
Byron observes. las darts the dolphin
from the shark" But Byron was n
poet and does not appear to have been
a close observer Of the habits Of In
habitants Of the water or he would
have known that a shark would have
no more chance of catching a dolphin
than a sheep would Of overhauling a
hare.

The Elizabethan era gave vogue to
the button and buttonhole. two inven.
tons which may fairly be regarded as
important, since they did much to rev.

was wholly a product Of needlework,
which was soon improved by the use
Of a wooden mold The brass button
is said to have been introduced by a
Birmingham merchant In 1880. 1t took
200 years to improve on the method

upon the idea Of making the button In
