FREAK WAGERs OF RECORD
Large Sums of Money Won and Lost
on All Kinds of Extraordinary
Stunts

One of the most difficult walking
feats on record was accomplished by
well-known pedestrian named Lloyd,
who undertook for a bet to walk so
miles backward in nine hours This
he succeeded in doing with IA min
utes 10 spare, on the road between
Bagshot and Portsmouth. says Lon
don Answers.
A still more eccentric wager was
made by Lord Oxford, who backed a
flock of geese to race an equal num-
Der of turkeys from Norwich to Lon
don.
He won the bet. the geese keeping
to the road all the time, while the
turkeys when darkness fell, flew to
rooSt in the trees, from which their
drivers had hard task to dislodge
them. The turkeys were two days
behind the geese.
An extraordinary wager was made
in 1904 by Captain Bennett, who I'M
dertook to trundle hoop from White
chapel church to Ongar, in Essex, a
distance of % miles in three and a
half hours. The stakes were 100
guineas. and Captain Bennett won
with an hour to spare.
Two years later a Cambridge man
bet a considerable sum that he would
walk on stills II miles in four and a
half hours, no stOppage to be allowed,
and his feet not to touch the ground
at any time.
He did his journey in three hours.
fifty-five minutes.

BEGINS HOLY WEEK
For Many Centuries Palm Sunday
Has Been Day Of Peculiar
Significance.

~ AIM SUNDAY is the name
- usually given to the sixth and
Il last Sunday in Lent and the
beginning Of holy week, after
the custom of blessing branches Of
the palm tree or of other trees substi-
tuted in those countries in which the
palm cannot be procured, and of carry
ing the blessed branches in process
SION, in cOmmemoration of Christ's
triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
Palms and branches of the palm
were used in this historic entry be-
cause the palm was then regarded as
an emblem of victory and the carrying
and waving of its branches was en-
blematic of success and in honor of
royalty.
The date of the first observance of
Palm Sunday is uncertain. In the
Greek church it was apparently OBJ
served as early as the fourth century.
In the middle ages the palm, worn
as decoration, denoted that the per-
son so adorned had made the pill
grimage to the Holy Land.
In some countries people made use
of figures of Christ seated on an ass,
carved out of wood, which were car
ried in religious professions and even
brought into the church. In other
countries it was the custom to strew
yards.
The palms used in the procession Of
the day are taken home by the faith
full and used as sacramento. They
are preserved in prominent places in
the houses, barns or even in the fields,
and thrown into the fire during storms.
From the blessed palms are procured
the ashes for use on Ash Wednesday.
Where palms cannot be secured
branches of olive, box elder, spruce or
other trees are used. In Rome olive
branches are distributed to the peo-
pie, while the clergy carry palms fire.
quently dried and twisted into various
shapes. In parts of Bavaria large
swamp willows, with their catkins,
and ornamented with flowers and rib
bons, were used.
Because every great feast at this
time was in some way a remembrance
of the resurrection of Christ and was
in consequence called Pascha, the
Spanish term pascua florida had it's
origin. Thus it was that in 1912 the
state of Florida, which was settled by
the Spaniards, indirectly received its
name.

Concrete FIume in Hawaii.

Owing to the scarcity of steel in the
Hawaiian islands during the war, sub
stituteS for steel had to be used as far
as possible. On one of the sugar planta-
tons a concrete flume was used to
carry water across gulch. The f1ume
was formed as, an inverted Siphon, con-
sisting of a rectangular box resting on
concrete columns. 1t is about 615
feet wide and nearly 5 feet deep
and is supported about So feet above
the bottom of the gulch. A bell-and-
spigot expansion joint connects the
horizontal portion of the flume with
one of the inclined stacks, the space
between being filled with asphaltic ce-
ment. This joint has operated salts
factorily without any signs of leakage
for a number of Notwithstanding

TRIBUTE 70 YANKEE FIGHTER
Magazine Writer Describes the

George Pattulli, a magazine writer
who has been with General Pershing's
army in France, has paid a tribute TO
the American fighting men that is wOr-

The American soldier is about the

Silk Hats Not Popular.

Although silk hats have made their
temperance since the armistice
brought about a partial return to eve

EASTER

It Is Easter, the gladness of Easter is

It 10 Easter, the sweetness of Easter

The blossoms ! missed have come
back to the meadow,
Every last cloud has gone. and gone
with it its shadowl
And each grief that was crowding
about me and showing
Is gone; for my loves shall come back
to my loving.
It Is Easter; the lilies of Easter are

And the babies, their tresses all wind

And their wee fingers fashion me gar

For the ones whom I loved, and who
left me back yonder,
Have grown nearer with Easter,
grown nearer and fonder;
And when the breeze touches the

And so all the gladness of Easter Is
round me,
Its gladness. its love and its peace
have all found me;
To the ones whom I grieved for my

They were far and apart, now they're
nearer and dearer!
And each Easter that comes brings
me near to the going

EASY TO CURE "NAUGHTINESS'
common-Sense Methods of Dealing
With Children Will Always Be
Found Effective.

A morbid exaggeration and perver-
sion of the natural desire which all
children feel for notice by their eld-
ers, is held by Thomson to be the
cause of abnormal naughtiness in
children. These cases are of essen
italy the same nature as those of
moral imbecility" in children who
are in some degree mentally defective.
The proper lines of treatment are
clear enough, and when carried cut
consistently and thoroughly are rap
idly and completely successful. They
may be summarized as follows: ~
All severe corporal punishment must
be stopped-it never does any good.
(2) Nobody must ever appear shocked
amused or even surprised at anything
child does. (3) His misdeeds are
never to be alluded to, much less de-
scribed, in his presence; and, lastly,
he should be noticed and encouraged
in every way when he is good and al
together ignored when he is naughty.

Sa1t Used as Money.

The value of salt is recognized in
all countries, and in those parts of
the world where it is scarce it is used
as money. In some parts of Abyssinia
bars of salt and rifle cartridges are the
only small change in circulation. The
bars are ten inches long and two
inches in length and breadth. Five or
eight salts" make one dollar, de-
pending on the distance of the source
of supply. Three cartridges have the
value of one salt.

Teaches Great Truth.

One can turn better, after that real
ization, to the full springtide and feel
even gladder than nature, knowing
the touch of the eternal flower within.
Wandering amid the old myths, filled
with their beauty and their deathless
attachment to life, one feels always
under the shadow of ended things,
upon the verge where all reality has
gone down in darkness. The lasting
and perfect poetry of these myths lin
gers like gorgeous unsunken sunsets.
AS the latest conner among them many
may class the great Christian story of
the resurrection. 1t is indeed a great
myth, sUperlative myth in the real
meaning of the word as a narrative
founded on a remote event. But the
singular, lone truth it sympolizes like
a direct shaft of light separates 1t
from the darkness of the old myths
forever.
They taught the underworld, where
the shades moved in half life or pale
regret conscious of lost joy, without
hope. A mournful idea of Immortality
that satisfied no heart and from which
the great thinkers of that age reached
out in vain for light.
That light appears in the great sim
pie law. Except the grain fall in the
earth and die it cannot bring forth
fruit"
