Canada Has No National Flag.

Canada has no national flag. \ So

This flag. by warrant dated Febrn-

minion" This limits its domain 20

thorization was given to fly 1t on

case II has not been formally adopted

MAKE ODD WILLS
Many Freakish Documents Filed
for Probate.
One Drawn at the Time OF the "Black
Plague" Placed In Bottle
Of Spirits.

All wills for which probate is grant
ed are fled i'm Somerset House. They
can he inspected by the public on the
payment of fee. The only excep-
ton TO the above rule applies 10 the
wills of the king and queen of Eng
land, which are kept In the records
but are sealed.
Almost every day the principal pro
bate registry Office has To deal with
wills of original construction.
One of the most recent was the por-
trait OF pretty girl upon which the
testator had simply written, Il leave
all To her The legator, a soldier,
had duly signed II, and affidavits OF
identity being forthcoming, the Will
was admitted 10 probate and filed
In the archives of Somerset House.
A quaint will, yet these same ar
chives contain others just as fancful
AMI some that are remarkable for
their historical interest.
one of this collection, interesting
from medical point OF view, was
made by ar unfortunate who died of
the black plague that ragged at one
time in London. This will was placed
in bottle filled with spirits and then
corked.
A precaution, no doubt. 10 preserve
his majesty's law officers who would
have subsequently 20 handle IT in the
course OF their duties, from infection
by the deadly bacilli.
Another will is in shorthand. Con
sidering its date, somewhere round
the year 17GO this is not a little re-
markable. for the well-known cipher
invented by the famous Mr.. Pitman
saw the light of day over hundred
years later.
Luckily the testator left key,
else the authorities would have been
put TO no little trouble TO declpher it,,
for shorthand was unknown in those
days.
4 will salvaged from the bottom Of
the sea supplies the nautical Interest.
This will was recovered after a long
period of immersion. and the only dam
age It received was in the way Of
shrinkage
1t was made on parchment, and this
when tished up was found TO have
shrunk to about tenth its normal
size. But so beautifully had 1t been
inscribed that tie writing remains
as clear rs print 10 this day, and though
very minute IL can be read easily with
the naked eye
Another quaint, though cumbersome
record is the leg of a fOur-poster bed.
The will Of Il certain earl was hidden
in recess at the top of this leg, and
as there was dispute over the grant
Of probate the leg and its large wood
en castor had to he filed and kept as
evidence.

ONCE GREAT INDOOR SPORT
Roller Skating Was at the Height Of
Its Popularity in This Country
In the SOS

The roller skate vas patented In
France as early * 1919 Since that
time scarcely year has passed with
out the recording of some improve
ment. plmpton's Improvement con-
sisted in 50 gearing two pairs Of
wheels that they would "cramp" when
the foo'plate was canted 10 either
side, and thus cause the skate 10 move
on curved line. Several years
elapsed before the value Of this nven-
iion was recognized generally. Ia the
meantime the inventor was busy max
ing Improvements ami taking out 9th
er patents and in 1874 had brought
the skate practically to lis present
condition.
The device OF "crarlpin.S .Ae heels
secured the initial saccess " roller
skating. The earlier inven,.os were
crude affairs compared with t.. mod.
eln appliances. About S6i Tie mania
Cor roller skating appeared ia iingand.
Two years later the "rinking" fever
broke out in Australia. and spread
thence 10 England and the United
States. Since that time the craze has
appeared az intervals only 10 die ont
again. During 1881 and 1880 The sport
was at its height ia the United States.

THE HOME THE TOWN BUILT

This is the youth with pep and vim;
Clean, honest labor looks good to him;
He is the one who owns the place
As YOU can see by his satisfied face;
The property stands in his own
name
To Gown a home" is plenty of fame
And he takes part in the village biz,
To hold up the value Of what is his,
For this is the home the town built.
This is the maid so filled with love,
Who makes the home like the Heaven
above;
Her work is play" the whole day
long,
She fills the house with happy song,
For the house is new and clean you
see,
And Just as convenient as it can be-
For this is the home the town built.
But what is this army that stands
outside
And watches the house with looks Of
pride?
Why. they are the ones who helped to
build
This HOME! No wonder with joy
they're filled!
They, too, deserve their place in the
sum-"
For it is a wonderful work they have
done
Cnstructing the home the town built.
First, the ARCHITECT drew the plan;
Then the lot was got from REAL
ESTATE man;
The LAWYER found that the title
was right
And the BANKER showed the money
in sight.
The LABORER dug the cellar so
deep;
And the MASON made the foundation
TO keep
The base for the BRICKMASON'S
solid wall
And the chimney above, so straight
and tall.
LUMBER YARD
All manner of wood, both soft and
hard,
To make the partitions, the shelves
and the doors,
The shady porch and the wide, smooth
floors.
The ROOFER shingled (perhaps he
timed
And the GLAZIER guarded against
too much wind.
The Plumber saw that the water was
right;
The GAS and ELECTRIC men han
died the light;
The LATHER and PLASTERER COW
cred the wall
And the Painter finished the last of
all.
But these arc just the ones who build;
The house is empty and must be filed;
SO the rest of the town then takes
part
To prove that each has a will and a
heart
TO make that house a HOME indeed
And here is the rest of this jingly
scrced.
The FURNITURE man gives table
and bed,
A chair and a carpet on which to
tread
The DRYGOODS man provides the
sheets
And towels and napkins for the eats.
The Crockery man sets up cup
And plate and dish from which to
sup.
The CUTLERY man then gives the
tools,
knife, fork and spoon by fashions
rules.
The HARDWARE dealer would think
it strange
If he could not provide the range
Together with many a pot and pan
That woman needs to feed a man.
These are the men, if the house is
small
Who help to build, but they are not
all.
If the maiden wants PIANO to play,
An ALARM CLOCK to waken her
early each day,
A VACUUM CLEANER, PICTURE
FRAME,
A FRONT DOOR PLATE to hold her
name,
Then others step into rank and file
To make her house HOME WORTH
WHILE:
For this is the home the TOWN built
The GROCER, the BAKER, the seller
of MEAT,
The MERCHANTS who handle all
good things to eat;
