WHERE BEDS ARE UNKNOWN
Residents of Merida, Yucatan, Enjoy Repose In Hammocks Which May
 Be SIune Anywhere.

Tn Merida. Yucatan, the majority of the people do not use beds, in fact very few of them have even seen one. They sleep in hammocks. which arc swung across the rooms at night and with no fuss of bedmaking; the per son just goes to bed and Is gently rocked to sleep by any passing breeze. The climate is so hot that 1t Is only during the months of January and February that light sheet may be required as covering.
 These hammocks are usually made by the mother of the family, writes Lilly deG. Osborn, in St. Nicholas, and consist of thread. more or less ane, woven together on great frames with kind of shuttle or needle. Some of the designs are wonderfully intricate and the colors beautifully blended. l saw one very large one, made in the colors of the United States flag, which was to be sent up to the United States for gift. It was certainly work of art, made of the very finest mercerized thread; and yet the hammock could easily support a weight of 300 pounds. A servant always brings his or her own hammock, which Is very conven- lent.

GOVERNMENT MUST BE PARSIMONIOUS SAYS
 REPRESENTATIVE MONDEI

Declaring that Government expendi- lures must be greatly reduced and that the Government must be econom- ical to the point of 'tparsimony" Rep resentatives Frank w. Mondell, the Republican floor leader, during a speech delivered recently in which he discussed finances said that the great est cut in the estimates must be made in the army appropriations. Mr. Mon- dell spoke in part as follows:
 "The patriotic enthusiasm which carried us over the period of direct war expenditures has passed and the public attitude toward the financial operations of the Government is a curiously conflicting mixture of de- mand for relief from the burdens of taxatio non one hand and of insis- tence upon the increase of Federal ex- penditures for a variety of purposes on the other.
 "On my examination of the esti- mates of appropriations and expendi- lures stated that in my opinion, the watchword of this Congress must be economy-economy without parsimony but after further examination of the financial situation I feel that not only must the watchword of the Con. gress be economy, but economy even to the point of parsimony."
 The Representative said that he an ticipated a reduction below the regular estimates well in excess of $1,0O0,. OOO,OO

The Income Tax.

The English income tax. first im- posed by Pitt in 179S as war tax, was abolished at the Peace of Amiens In 1901, and again imposed on the re sumption of hostilities In 1903. At the downfall of Napoleon 1t ceased to be levied for twenty-six years-1S16- 1842-when 1t was reimposed by Sir Robert Peel. in June, 1842, at seven pence in the pound, and produced about i've million pounds. Al show ing the rapid advance of the country in prosperity. the tax which produced about seven hundred and ten thousand pounds for each penny of tax in 1922 yielded two million six hundred and ninety-one thousand four hundred and twenty-two pounds per penny in 1909 1910, and at the present time consld- erably over thrss million pounds for each nenny.

oueits Really Ancient Game.


 The quoit is fiattish ring of iron, used in playing. It Is generally from eight and a half to nine and half inches in external diameter, and be tween one and two inches in breadth. convex on the upper side and slightly concave on the under side, so that the outer edge curves downward, and is sharp enough to cut into soft ground. The game played with such rings re quires two pins, called hobs, driven part of their length into the ground some distance apart; and the players. who are divided into two sides, stand beside one hob, and in regular sue cession throw their quoits, of which each player has two, as near the other hob as they can. The side which has the quoit nearest the hob counts point toward the game, or, if the quoit is thrown so as to surround the hob. 1t counts two. The game slightly re sembles the ancient exercise of throw ing the discus, which has, however, been often translated by this English word.

BIBLES THAT ARE PRICELESS
Four Copies of Sacred Book Regarded as Treasures by Their For
 suratc Owners.

The largest Bible in existence Is in the royal library at Stockholm. The covers are made of solid blanks, four inches thick, and the pages measure a yard in length. It Is estimated that 100 asses skins must have been used to furnish the 300 parchment leaves of this colossal book. It Is considered priceless.
 A well-to-do New Yorker Is the proud possessor of a manuscript Bible written by his only son, cripple. He could only work about two hours a day, so he took over two years to complete his task. It does not contain a single error or slip, for if error or slip occurred the youth discarded the whole page. The verses and headings are all in red ink, and the whole Is bea1tifully written.
 In house in Grafton street, London, there is a shorthand Bible which was written at least two centuries before Putnam was born. It was written by an apprentice in the day of James II, when to possess "common" or garden" Bible was rather dangerous. An American lady cherishes Bible probably as old as the one written in shorthand, which an ancestress baked in loaf of bread when house. toulouse search was being made for stray copies of the sculptures. The sol diers came to search the house, but 1t is not a matter of wonder that they failed to find the book, which now, looking pretty old, Is the lady's chief treasure.

First Wheat Grown In Canada.


 The first wheat that ripened in Ga nadian sunshine was grown in 1907 at Port Royal, now Annapolis Basin, Nova Scotia. Here Champlain and de Monts founded post and built a fort. They were joined by Marc Lescarbot. a lawyer of Paris, poet, and the earliest writer of Canadian history. Love of adventure drew him to Port Royal. Outside the palisades of the fort he cultivated plot of land in part of which he sowed wheat, brought, of course, from France. His sowing was fall or winter wheat. It grew we'll, ripened perfectly, and with sickles Lescarbot and his associates cut the crop. That was the first wheat crop harvested on land now within the Dominion of Canada.
