DOLLS IN INDIA

Dolls seem to mean more to the children of India than perhaps 10 those of any other country. When little Indian girl has fractured the gravest rules of discipline her punish ment usually consists of dressing her doll in it's best garments. carrying 1t to the nearest river and throwing it in. Thereafter she is not allowed to play with dolls for certain length of time. At the harvest season the girls along the sacred Ganges throw their dolls into the river as a sacrifice and are given new ones. When the girl Is old enough to put away her dolls and to take up the duties of woman that is at a very early age m India she hangs her dolls in the windows and on the doors of her home This is an invitation and a sign to prospec- tive suitors that there is in that there is in that house a girl who is ready to marry. A somewhat similar custom exists in Java, where the pros- pective bride throws her dolls into the fire, with proper ceremony.-Har- " A. Mount. in Leslies.

BENT PAID IN ROSES

King George recently applied to Parliament for permission to sell cer- tain portions of his entailed Duchy of Lancaster estates.
 The total rent roll of these valuable properties is only about s275,000. It ought to be a very great deal more, but for the fact that our previous sov- sreigns were in the habit of granting what were in effect perpetual leases 1t nominal rent, plus a substantial cash payment by the original lessee
 It is for this reason Bat our pre- sent King has to be content Sith g nosegay of roses as rental for that portion of the Duchy estates on which stands St. Olave's Grammar School near Tower Bridge; whereas what the lawyers term it's economic rent ha: been calculated at about $25,000.
 Similarly tablecloth, fur coat, { horse and halter, a currycomb, a night cap, a pair of scarlet hose, a falcon a cross bow and a pair o3 tongs fig ure every year in the Duchy accounts Each article represents the rent" pait pr supposed to be paid, for some man or, farm or piece of land.
