HssAehoea

1he custom of using horseshoes in- stead of the large fiat. metal rings with which the game of quoits Is pro fessionally played was ancient when Joseph Strut wrote his "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England" well over a hundred years ago. and. according to traveller in modern New England. they are still so used in that part of the world. The trav- eler tells of seeing two Maine farm CTS meet early one morning in the road in front of farmhouse. "Tll play you a game of hoss-shoes." sug- gested one. "Ill play you just one game" said the other. i've got a lot of work to do today" So they be- gan playing. and when the traveller passed that way again late In the af- ternoon they were still at 1t. They had been playing horseshoes all day, and the farmers wife confided to the traveller, not altogether with admir- ation. that they hadn't stopped even for dinner.

NothIno to Do But Eat In Haiti.

You can keep alive, after a fashion. in Haiti without doing any work at all. Nature will take care of you She provides yon with sugar cane, which will sustain life by itself, If 1t doesn't bore you to death. Then she offers you coconuts. bananas, breadfruit. mangoes. and dozen other edible fruits. They all grow wild-so does coffee. though, of course, If you want to use that you have to get the berry and roast 1t. and grind 1t. and take certain amount of trouble In brewing your drink. But 1t Is quite literally true that it's more trouble to starve to death in Haiti than to stay alive. Living off the country Is not phrase of the republic; it's an exact descrip- ton of a very common process.-Wil- Ham Almon Wolff In Golfers Weekly.

Round the World in a Day.

A statement was made recently to the effect that in the near future there will be airplanes capable of travelling 800 miles an hour. possibility that makes the idea of crossing the Allan tic seem almost insignificant. And If this prophecy Is fulfilled we may look forward to race among airmen to be first to circle the earth in day. To fly around the globe in a day over the latitude of London would require a speed of less than TOO miles an hour. while over the equator the speed would have to be 1.05O miles per hour. An interesting point in such One-day world-circling flight would be that if the airman flew from east to west and started at noon. he would travel in day light with the sun at the meridian from start to finish.

llfe's Damage.

It is much easier to die than to take a vacation. A man who Is sum- moned to his last long voyage may set his house in order In an hour; few words, written or dictated. will dis pose of his possessions, and his heirs will gladly attend to the details. This done. he may fold his hands on his chest and depart this vexatious life In peace. It is quite another matter to prepare for a few weeks away from town. There are bills to be paid; the Iceman, and the milkman. and the laundryman must be choked off, and the daily paper restrained from lit tering the doorstep. There Is hair to be cut. and teeth to be tinkered. and so on. In short, 1t takes days to stop the machinery of living for fortnight. and days to start 1t going again. But. my dear, one must have change Chicago Tribune.

Halcyon Days.

When we talk of our halcyon days it refers to those that have been especially bright or restful. This is quite an ancient expression and owes it's origin to the halcyon or kingfsher, bird which was sup posed to build its nest on the water and to lay it's eggs about Christ mas time, because of the calmness of the weather, which was popularly believed to prevail at that season of the year. Consequently, the lat- ter half of December came to be known as halcyon days, and this phrase in it's fgurative sense be- came fixed as signifying any period of calm and content.
