Hkiasino tho Book"

When did kissing the book" come
to be recognized as a part of the Eng
ush oath? Master William Thorpe, a
priest, who was tried for heresy be-
fore the archbishop Of Canterbury In
14O7, has in an account Of his own
trial related a conversation between
man Of law" and master Of d.
vinity'' on the subject Of oaths. The
man Of Law spoke Of witness merely
laying his hand on the book, where.
upon the master Of divinity said, HE
that charge:h him to lay his hand thus
upon the book, touching it and swear.
Ing by 1t, and KISSING it, promising in
this form to do this thing, will say and
witness that he that toucheth thus a
book and kisseth it hath sworn upon
that book" So the practice is at least
800 years old.
kissing tho book" must have been
q familiar practice in Shakespeare's
day, for in 1.-THE Tempest there il
more than one jocular reference to it.
Swear by this bottle how thou earnest
hither," says Stephano to Trinculo.
Here, kiss the book" Offering him his
bottle OF sack. There Is also legal
proof that the practice was well
known I'm the seventeenth century,

"GINGLEs JIN0LES"
"LET IN GLIDE"

When your troubles seem to come In
aocks, and you are sorely tried, and it
looks a. though the clouds would never
break, you can smile If you will do
so. you can say. I'll let or slide. Just
relax and see the change that It will
make. Watch the rays Of joyous SUM-
shine brighten up the path for you,
when the woes have pulled their
freight and you are free. Being cheer
full Is a habit just, the same as feel
ing blue; cut the grief and say, it's
let 'er slide for me. l will change my
ways OF thinking; I'll enjoy instead
Of fret. What's the use OF wasting
time in feeling sad. Being overanx.
ious never has done any good as yet,
30 I'll ditch the whine and cut out
feeling bad. l will go in for a pleas
ant time and laugh dull care away;
I'll dispense the thoughts of discon-
tent, and face the sun today. Feeling
good is just the knack of knowing
how. 1t is worth little solid thought,
when you are batting wide to adjust
your mental works to come across
and forget your cares and troubles
and say, I'll let 'er slide. Do not be
controlled, insist V O.. a
that you are Boss. e"">N 5..yG

Tipping In constantinopIs.


The tipping evil is no joke even In
this country. But 1t has hardly reach
cd the degree Of instdiousness marked
by thu tale from the. near east:
'On the morning Of my departure
from Constanttnopls l gave the letter
carrier who had brought my letters
during my sojourn here half a med
shid as tip.
In the afternoon a man came up to
me and said: My lord, am a stranger
to you. You never received telegram.
But may it please you to know that l
am the telegraph messenger. May it
please you to know that it was up to
me to deliver kilograms to you If such
had been received for you in our Of
fee. surely would have brought
them to you most quickly. l know
you will be just and you will not harm
a man who has always been ready to
serve you. cannot be blamed that l
have never been called upon to be Of
service to you. l, too, deserve half a
medshid. '"-Bruno's Weekly.

Circular Boats.

Still used to a considerable extent,
circular boats in the Tigris may he
seen at Bagdad. just as they appear
ed 2.OOO years ago. when Herodotus
wrote: THE boats which come down
the river to Babylon are circular and
made OF skins. The francs. which are
OF willow. are cut in the country of
the Armenians above Assyria. and on
these. which serve for hulls. covering
OF skins IS stretched outside. and thus
the boats are made. without either
stem or stern. quite round, like q
shield. They are then entirely filed
with straw. and their cargo is put on
board, after which they are suffered
to float down the stream. Their chief
freight is wine. stored in casks made
Of the wood Of tho palm tree. They
are managed by two men, who stand
upright in them. each plying an oar.
one pulling and the other pushing.
The boats are Of various sizes, some
larger. some smaller. The biggest
reach as high as 5000 talents burthen
Each vessel has live ass on board
Those Of larger size have more than
one"

Walfzino Oatrichaa

Waiting Ostrichss.
One OF the oldest sights Of the sandy
stretches Of plain in southern Africa 10
party Of Waiting ostr1ches. A
writer on the subject thus describes
their queer antics:
when there are a number of them
they will start of and after running a
few hundred yards will stop and, with
raised wings, will wh1rl rapidly round
till they are stupefed or perhaps break
leg. The males pose also before
fighting. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other,
while the neck is stretched on q level
with the back, and the head strikes
the sides, now on the right, now on the
left, while the feathers are bristling.
The bird appears at this time so alb
sorbed In its occupation as to forget
all that Is going on around him and
can be approached and caught. The
male alone utters cry, which sounds
much like an effort to speak with the
mouth shut tight" -Philadelphia In
Qu1rer.

Mourninu fridav.

1t was not always called Good Fri.
day. Years ago in Germany it was
frequently referred to as Mourning Fri.
day. Our early ancestors in England
did not call it Good Friday, either, but
Long Friday. Such is the term in an
ancient ecclesiastical law about 1000
years old. The Danes used the same
name, Long, instead of Good Friday.
The reason for using the word "long''
was doubtless found in the seeming
endless and severe fast practiced that
day. At one time the Span;ards en-
phasized the solemnity Of Good Friday
by closing all the churches
Nowhere else that l have happened

Raissd Decorations On Eaashella.

Raised Decorations on EssshsiIs.
1t is easy to work out a design In
relief on an eggsbell, whether the con-
tents Of the egg have been removed or
not. The first step is to draw with a
pencil the design or the lettering that
you wish to appear on the egg. Make
only an outline and the leading points
OF the design. Then melt q small
quantity of candle wax in a shallow
tin and let it set a little, but while it
Is still soft take it out Of the tin and
spread it over the design on the egg.
II there is any difficulty in getting the
wax to hold touch it here and there
with the heated blade of q penknife.
Take vinegar enough to cover the
egg completely and soak the egg in it
for period that may be half an hour
or may be an hour and a half, accord
ing to the strength Of the vinegar. At
the end of that period take the egg
out and peel of the wax. The design
will then stand up in relief against
the rest Of the shell, for the acid OF
the vinegar will have eaten away the
uncovered part and left untouched only
that part which the wax protected

Masking the Guns.

Against air craft observation one Of
the first precautions taken is to splash
guns, limbers and ammunition wagons
with different neutral tints so that they
will blend with the ground about
them. Any earthworks, pits, etc., that
are erected or dug are strewn with
leaves and branches and the earth dis
turbed generally, so that from above
nothing unusual shall be spotted by
keen eyed air men.
A battery Of guns is seldom placed
along the sky line, for there it is an
easy mark. Generally the guns are
concealed some distance down the in
cline In front of the sky line, unless
the guns are howitzers, in which case
they can be best served from behind
the ridge. The idea Of placing the
guns in front Of the ridge is that the
rising ground behind them serves as
an efectual screen, as the guns them.
selves are painted to represent earth
and foliage.-London Standard.

Queer Tail Of q Bird.

his duties nature has equipped him
with a pair Of purple flags fashioned
out Of two long and peculiar tail feath-

at the end OF each. He crosses them
near the middle, and sometimes he
brings the pair Of ''rackets" at the

been sitting In one Of the galleries for
some time watching the senate work.
"C1nch," colloquially responded her es.
cort.
But senator's know differently, for
they are fully aware of what it means
to sit hour by hour and pilot their
august body through the parliamentary
jungles which frequently are confront
ed. The rules for legislative procedure
In the United States senate are prac-
tically no rules at all, paradoxical as
it may seem. The course Of the upper
house is guided largely upon precedent
and past rulings Of vice presidents,
and as consequence the presiding Of

with what his predecessors have done
from the time the nation was born.

Divorces Are Costly In canad.

Divorces Arc Costly In Canada.
Canada's divorce court is never en-
tered except by members of the
wealthy class and not frequently by
them. Only four to six divorces are
granted in Canada annually.
There is no record of a poor man
ever getting divorce in the Dominion
it is said. The average cost of d.
vorce in Canada is $1,000, and the de-
cree is granted for only one offense-
marital infdelity.
The legislature at Ottawa appoints
divorce committee each session, and
all cases are settled by this committee.
There is no appeal in a divorce action.
Those living in the western part of
the Dominion have to pay much more
for decree than those living in the
east because Of the heavier travelling
eKpenses.-Detroit Tribune.

Antiquity Of tho Ballet,

Strictly defined, the ballet is proper
~ theatrical exhibition of the art of
dancing in its highest perfection, CON-
plying generally with the rules of the
drama as to it's composition and form.
1t was in existence in Italy as far back
as A. D. 1900, the court Of Turin in
that day making especial use of it and
the royal family and mobiles taking
part in it. The ballet was first intro
duced in France in the reign of Louis
KILL, and both that monarch and
Louis XIV. occasionally took part in
its dances. About the year 100 wom-
en- made their first appearance in the
ballet, which up to that time had been
performed exclusively by men, as was
the case also with plays and operas,
but no woman ballet dancer Of any
note appeared until 1890.

Earliest School Books.

Among the discoveries in the archaeo-
logical excavations in ancient Baby
lonia are some stone tablets believed
to have been used as schoolbooks ir
the first regular school ever held ir
the world. They are in the collection
OF the University of Pennsylvania
These prehistoric text books have
marks proving that they were used in
a school conducted in a temple in Nip
pur more than $500 years B. C. This
school is known to have been in ex-
istence at least 1000 years. and no
records have yet been found to indi-'
cate the existence Of any preceding it
The tablets contain notes upon several
sciences, evidently made upon the
stone surface by stylus. Several of
them contain two forms of characters
indicating that the pupils attempted
to copy the work of the teacher.

Australia's Stony Desert.

The great stony desert Of north Aus
tralia was discovered by Captain Sturt,
an Australian explorer, in 1856. It
is north of the river Darling and is
about 300 miles long and 100 broad.
consisting Of sandy dunes or ridges.
Its want Of trees, except along the
creeks, gives the country sterile ap-
pearance. These ridges were probably
formed by the joint effect of winds
and gradually retiring sea. Accord
ing to Captain Sturt, these waters were
gradually lost by evaporation or car
ried to some undiscovered sea. The
only vegetation, growing scantily, is
prickly acacias in full bloom, all of
stunted growth. Water is scarce ex-
cept in the creeks which are sheltered.
and this is generally brackish. Few
travellers care to traverse this inhos
pitable desert.
