them in the exhibitions where l have

Kinu Buried in Tree Trunk.

princes, he CHANGED to hear the deeds
of King Arthur sung by the Welsh,
and was told the exact burial PLACE OF
the hero of Glastonbury. Some years
later the abbot of Glastonbury, the

was made ruin in Henry Wits time,

occasionally get peeved enough to say
a few sarcastic things. And the other
night came her chance. For wonder,
her husband was at home for an eve

fore the crate fire and reading busily.
For long time she sat silently watch
Ing him, then she asked, "John, what
are you reading" s"My ritual" he
answered. swell, must say" she
remarked with some spirit, "if you

A eorneo Court Of Justice.

If we were transported to the
shores of Borneo, we might see a
group of natives gathered together un-
der the tropical palms, watching two
men sitting on their launches, facing
each other across an earthenware dish
containing limewater. Each holds a
clam in his raised hand, and, at a
signal, drops it into the limewater.
1t would not occur to us that this is
q court Of justice, that the two men
leaning over the dish are litigants,
and that he whose clam first winces
on falling into the limewater loses the
case The people of Borneo believe
that their gods give this as sign to
show who is in the right.

Inxentinu the Blanket.

Poverty is responsible for the inven-
ton of the blanket. Years ago man
in England lost all his wealth and be-
came very poor. One cold winter night
in 1910 he used piece Of rough, I'M
finished cloth for a bed covering to
keep himself warm, and from this
makeshift bed covering he invented
the blanket. The name Of this man
was Thomas Blanket, and the new kind
of bedding has been known under the
name of blanket ever since.-Detroit
