WORTHY OF ITS NICKNAME
English Parliament Known to Fame
Chiefly for the Things It
Failed to Accomplish.

Addle parliament is name given
to the English parliament which as
sembled in London on April 3, 1911
l07 years before the union Of the par
liaments Of England and Scotland.
The parliament Of King James l was
dissolved on the 9th OF the following
June. 1t was called the addle parlla-
ment because 1t demonstrated with the
king on his levylng "beneyolence" or
forced contributions from his subjects,
which was Illegal, but it passed no
acts. This was due to the clrcum-
stances that It was not given time to
do so, the king dlssolving II and so
getting rid Of troublesome and posi-
bly, dangerous critics. Addle is from
the Saxon word, "adl," sick, diseased.
Addle as an adjective means having
lost the power of development by be-
coming diseased, as eggs. Hence, pro-
ducing nothing, unfruitful or barren,
as addle brains. As a verb II means
to make addle; to make corrupt or
morbid as to addle eggs.

Peculiar Accident.

One very warm evening in 1896 an
Ontario man walking home from work
encountered swarm Of sand flies, one
Of which lie thought had got into his
eye, When he arrived home his eye
was swollen and very sore. The next
morning he was obliged to go to the
doctor, who extracted the head OF n
pin from the mans eye. Several years
after, this mans wife cut up the coat
he had been wearing when he got the
pin In his eye, when out dropped
pin minus the head. The only solution
is that the tailor had forgotten to re-
move the pin while making the coat
and had cut the head off with his
shears. When the man gave a quick
jerk to brush away the flies the head
must have worked through the cloth
and was thrown into his eye. The pin
was In the left sleeve and the man
was left handed.

Moon ThorouahIy Manned.

The visible moon has been carefully
mapped with drawings and photo
graphs. Sir Robert Ball has said,
astronomers know the surface OF the
moon better than geographers know
the interior Of Africa. Every spot on
the face of the moon which is as
large as an English parish has been
mapped, and all the more important
objects have been named
This applies to only one-half of the
moons surface. OF the other we know
nothing The moons surface Is richly
covered with markings, the largest Of
which are great dark spaces which
may be seen with the naked eye The
shadows thrown by the mountains OF
the moon are very dense and sharp
because the moon has no air. BY
means of the shadows thrown the
height of the peaks on the moon have
been measured Some of the craters
are more than 60 miles wide; some
have walls 10000 feet high.

MRS. SQUIRES GIVES BELL
TO FRENCH VILLAGE

at Apremont La Forest
Ruined During War

A copy Of the Paris edition of the
New YORK Herald OF the issue of Sep
/ TENDER & contains an interesting &C
count OF exercises held at Apremont
la Forest in recognition Of American
aid in restoring the town ruined by
Germans during the war. One Of the
features OF the observance was the
dedication OF bell given to the
church of Apremont by Mrs. Elinor
Squier of New York and Old Benning-
ton. An extract from the Herald de-
scription of the ceremonies follows:
American generosity has forged
one more link in the lasting chain Of
Franco.American friendship, and once
again the devastated regions Of
France have been given tangible
proof that friends across the sea, are
still pursuing policy of reconstruc-
tive aN to the people who in silence
are bearing their burden Of the after.

Two ceremonies Of a totally diff
ferent nature, were performed here
yesterday, at both OF which Ameri.
cans played the leading roles. In
the morning took place the blessing
Of a bell given to the church Of Apre-
mont by Mrs. Elinor Squier OF New
York, in memory OF Mary Elinor
Whitman Billiard. The ceremony
was conducted by Mgr. Ginisty, Bis
hop of Verdun, assisted by several
priests from Barbecue, Commercy
and other surrounding villages. 1t
was. indeed, a picturesque sight as
the long procession came down the
gayly decorated avenue, led by the
choir boys in their red robes the
young men and women of the village
coming after and carrying their ban
ners, followed by the different priests
and Mgr Ginisty wearing his richest
ceremonial robes sheltered under the
customary canopy

from moss gathered in the forests.
THE ceremony was short but full
of interest, and Bishop Ginisey, in an
eloquent discourse emphasized the i'm
portanee Of such gifts from a senti-
mental standpoint He brought to
the attention of his auditors the fact
that so many Americans appreciated
just what the yil.aeg church-bell sig

Hand Ball Game Of Ancient Lineage.

Hand ball, by which many business

game Of ancient lineage. Suetonius,
for instance, tells of the Emperor Au-

This emperor, who succeeded julius
Caesar, and in whose reign literature
and the arts fourlshed, had other rec

that this stock would be listed up

fac; that you even sold the com
