Married by Order.

A document suggesting that tn :
holders of certain lands in Scotland
are bound under heavy monetary pen.
aties to marry at the royal pleasure
has been brought to light during Il
Scottish appeal case in the house Of
lords. The document is said to have
been prepared by the king and queen
of Scotland in 1859. and 1t refers to
tenure known as ward" The
heir or possessors of land held in this
manner cannot obtain possession un
Ill they are twenty-one years of age
IL males and fourteen years of age if
females. If such heirs on taking pos
session are not married they are bound
to marry at the pleasure and will of
the king with persons of good reputn-
ton and similar rank. The penalty
payable to the king for refusing such a
proposed marriage is double the pc
cuniary benefit of the marriage.
(which marriage" adds the order, lis
esteemed much too dear in this coun'
try and almost at the value of the
lands"

Husbands Are AopinQ.

Recently an Irvington woman in
vited few of her friends to play cards
during the afternoon. There was a
strong intimation that the highest
score would be rewarded with a prize
That stimulated interest to a degree.
The women had visions of the or
binary prizes given for card prof.
cheney. One of them thought of a nice
ly hemmed towel, another saw visions
of a cut-glass tumbler, and still an
other dreamed of something else, There
was but one table and as the hostess
was barred the contest was wholly be-
tween the remaining three. Finally
the games were over and the scores
tabulated. Then the hostess came In
with a big glass of currant jelly and
presented it as the prize of the aft
ernoon, She picked the currants in
her own garden and had made the
jelly herself.
There is hope in the hearts of some
Irvington husbands that the fad Of
giving real food as prizes will grow
Then. if their wives are good enough
bridge players there may be something
to eat when husbands come home in
the evening.-Indianapo News.

Only Live okapi in Captivity.

The only live okapi in captivity has
been brought to Antwerp from the
Congo, The okapi is the survivor of a
distant ancestor of the giraffe. An
adult stands about five feet high, and
although it has the general shape of
the giraffe, its neck is relatively
shorter and its forelegs are not so high
in proportion to the headquarters.
The sides of the animals head are
light fawn color and the general color
alton of the body is a dark purple.
The most striking characteristic is
that the rump, and the upper part of
the legs are transversely striped with
black and white. It was first known
in 1901. having been found in the
Semliki forest, haunting low under
growth and swamps.

MANf FA:R'--S III 23-EN ISLE
Idea That the Gaca-s +lave DIS
appeared Is Declared 10 Ga
Altogether Erroneous.

There still are fairies in Ireland. de-
clares the Ulster Folklore, which ex-
plains by saying: To many. perhaps.
this statement will be really news. OF
course, anyone who has never taken
any interest in the matter at al knows
that in the days gone by there were
plenty of them from one end of the
green isle to the other-are not their
old haunts, the thorn bushes, their
raths, forts, coves and souterraines
still to he found in every corner of
Ireland just as they have existed
since time out of mind?
But 1t has been the general belief
that the fairies themselves long ago.
In one fashion or another, had for
saken or been driven from their Sc
cret places, the last hagira being
plnced at as modern a period as the
middle Of the nineteenth century-the
night Of the big wind. in fact when
they We're all supposed TO have been
blown into the sea with the exception
of few that landed in Scotland.
AhS SiiOi VI tlllt UelleI, however,
has been scientifically ascertaiaed in a
series of Investigations pursued by
Miss Elizabeth Andrews, F. r. A. l.,
for decade or so.
"The belief Is general" Miss An
drewS says that these little people
were at one time very numerous
throughout the country but have now
disappeared from many of their for
mer haunts. At Ballynahinch | was
told they had been blown away 80
years ago by great storm. and the
caretaker at Klllevy said they had
gone to Scotland. They are, however.
supposed still to inhabit the more re-
mote parts of the country and the old
people have many stories of fairy Wis
itorS and of what happened in their
own youth and in the time of their
fathers and grandfathers."

Historic Tree Now Only a Memory

The tree In the road" a mile and
n half west of Hartford. Mich. has
been cut down to clear the way for
Il new concrete road. This maple tree.
supposed to be more than a hundred
years old, was the most famous and
most cherished landmark of the re
gion. Standing in the middle of the
road on the crest of a hill it had
from the time of the oldest inhahitant
been used as point from which all
distances were measured.
In giving directions place was al
ways said to be certain distance
"this side of the tree in the road" or
a certain distance beyond the tree in
the road" With the advance of civi-
lization, however the natives have
reluctantly concluded that the Tree
can be dispensed with. since the only
distance people ask about now is the
distance between gasoline tanks -Ex-

to 1160 1t led a precarious but spec

defense guaranteed by the expend-
ture of millions of dollars by the
French government though millions
were stolen and wasted by dishonest
officials and unhappy officers. whose

Industry Oyerdone.

The development of the coconut of
Industry in the Philippines has been
very rapid. due to war conditions. The
exports of oil in 1918 amounted to
$4,000 tons, as compared with $4,000
tons in 1917 and 10000 tons in 1916
There is a scarcity of shipping to take
copra to Hull, England, and Marseilles
France. which are the great centers
for oil crushing, hence it is found more
profitable to ship the less bulky oil to
the United States. A number of new
OIL mills have been constructed in the
Philippines in order to fill the demand
for oil. bat it is serious question
whether the present crushing capacity
of the Philippine mills is not in excess
of the normal supply of copra.
