DO AWAY WITH ODD CUSTOMS
Ceremonies That Have Existed in Eng
land Since the Norman Conquest
Will Soon Be Ended.

Long ago England was full or an
cient manor courts, whose lords-lords
of the manor-had power In many
cases to impose fines on their tenants.
The tenants held their land by sys-
TEN called copyhold, and many extra
ordinary customs existed. A tenant
might, for instance, have to pay GER
tain sum when the lords eldest daugh-
ter was married. the sum being a
"fine."
The tenant might have to bring to
the lords court bundle of tirewood
on certain days, or pair OF grey
hounds for the lord to hunt with. In
return for these presents the lord
would hand TO the tenant wand cut,
perhaps, from willow tree, as a sign
Of the tenants right to hold the land
he rented.
Scores of similar customs existed,
and some have been kept up to the
present day; but recent act Of par
lament. the Law Of Property act. have
swept away all these manor courts and
their odd ceremonies, many of which
have existed since the Norman con-
quest.

RIGHT BEGINNING

WHAT you have done a dozen or
so times without getting the re-
suit you sought signifies that your ef-
forts were faulty.
You repeat and repeat, still cling 10
the wrong way, continue your blunder-
ing and finally end In dismal failure.
You may be Il very adroit person,
capable of steering your course
through ordinary difficulties with
commendable degree of confidence and
even succeed in astonishing your en-
ployer, but when the real test of your
ability comes, the one upon which your
promotion depends, your unfavorable
star giares malevolently, and away you
80 hither and thither like leaf In

After the wind has subslded and the
keen edge of your disappointment has
been blunted. you seek consolation in
the thought that OF the millions who
occupy the face OF this planet. great
numbers OF them have passed through
similar experiences and survived.
That this Is true, and in all llkeli-
hood Will remain true until the end OF
time. does not in the least benefit you

II IL good to smile and bear the
burden OF the cross complacently. but
the better thing TO do Is to ascertain
your faults and so improve yourself
that another failure of the same na-

Chinese Suspension Bridges.

The Chinese have been acquainted
with suspension bridges from time i'm

ans write OF bridges hung on iron
chains or on rattan. Such structures
seemed strange TO the missionaries
who renched China. They called Them
'nying bridges" and one recounts his
horror as he felt the bridge swing be
meath his steps ms he crossed deep
chasm.
In Europe people ridiculed these
travellers tales and treated the ne.

stories Lnter on. when they re

Aansestie league in Germany.

The Hanseatic league was politico
commercial association established In
1241 by certain cities OF northern Ger
Germany for mutual benefit and pro
lection. II was organized by Hamburg
Bremen and Lubeck, and ultimately In
cluded 50 towns. lts affairs were con
trolled by n diet called the Hansa,
which met every three years, generally
at Lubbock, md dictated the policy OF
the association. In 134S the league
proclaimed war against Wnldemar,
king Of Denmark, and In 142s against
Eric, with ~ ships and 1900 troops,
exclusive Of seamen.
The league virtually dissolved In
1920, having been greatly injured by
the Thirty Years war. The rise of
commerce In the Low countries during
the Fifteenth century also contributed
materially TO Its decline. In 1870 HIM.

EMBROIDERY IS ANCIENT ART
Has Been P.racticed for Ages, Among
Both Civilized and Savage
Peoples.


Embroidery is the art of ornament
ing cloth and other materials with the
needle. Most of the embroideries made
today are usually copies of the ancient
ones.
Embroidery is believed to have been
applied to skins almost as soon us
needle and thong were first employed
to join pieces of skins together into
garments. In Lapland the natives en-
broider their reindeer skin clothing
with needle of reindeer bone, three of
reindeer sinew and applique of strips
of hide.
Travellers say that in Central Africa,
among the primitive tribes there, the
girls embroider skins with figures of
flowers and animals, supplementing
the effect with shells and feathers.
Among the ancient Greek textiles
exhumed from Crimean graves are
both tapestries and embroiderles now
preserved in the hermitage at Petro-
grad. One of the embroiderles is at
tributed to the Fourth century b. G.
and is in colored woods on WOOL
