This Time, Good Yarn
Is Told on Scotsman

One good old yarn that Is exhumed
from time to time, or rather reincar-
mated. since 1t appears in a slightly
different form, concerns the Scottish
land law known as tenure by feu.
which consists in the tenant perform
ing certain services, or making certain
payments, failure IN which may result
in forfeiture of the tenancy.
Some time back it was decided TO
abolish feus on the Sutherland es-
tates. substituting therefor a generous
form of lease which would have the
effect Of making the crofter the own
er, in all but name. of the land he
titled.
To his grace's surprise, however, the
first Highland farmer to whom the
new terms were explained resolutely
declined to entertain them.
But, consider" said the agent "the
rent you will be called upon to pay is
merely nominal, and we are giving
you a lease of 900 years"
The old man shook his head. ma,
na, time soon rims away" he re-

Expression Actually
limitation to Death

The origin of some common express
sions is always interesting, and wheth-
er the following is authentic or not
Is an open question. When in ancient
days the weaving industry of Hall
fax, England, was cottage craft-a
farmers family working on clumsy
handlooms-the pieces" used to be
spread out on the hillside, and were
therefore peculiarly. liable to theft.
Particular crimes led to particular
remedies, and a custom, which had
the authority of local law, grew up,
that anyone convicted Of stealing
cloth to the then value Of 10 pence
halfpenny was liable to immediate exc
cution, a drastic law which naturally
safeguarded the cloth industry.
Punishment was carried out. not by
hanging, but by sort Of guillotine.
This was the Halifax gibbet law, the
name Of which is preserved by a still
standing street in the town, while the
actual knife of the gibbet may be seen
In the old manor rolls Office at Wake
field. Halifax thus acquired a repu-
tation among thieves and vagabonds
as the last town In England desir-
able to visit. And to tell anyone to
go to Halifax is equivalent to bidding
him to $50 hang Chicago Journal.

Old Age Comes When
People Qstit Growing

Most people want to grow. They
would like to advance in their work,
earn more, have greater influence, do
bigger things Yet, strange to say.
the world is full of people who do
not grow up" They have lost the
secret OF their youthful days. They
come to a halt in self-development, and
folks say they are getting "oId" But
person is never old until he quits
growing; and he need not quit grow
ing until the end of his years. The
most conspicuous fact about great
men-men who do big things, and
keep doing them-is that they never
cease growing, They are perpetually
young. They have the real thing of
which Ponce de Icons Fountain Of
Youth" was only an imitation. If a
man sets his heart upon growing, he
has but three things to do: First, he
must be learner all his life. Then,
he must be thinker-and must think
hard Finally, he must be a doer
Some people are long on thinking, but
short on doing They are dreamers.
Success and rewards always come TO
the person who continues to grow, but
the greatest reward consists in having
found the secret that makes life con-
tinuously interesting Maya
zine.

Genius of PhiIology
GiDen Stern Justice

Curious pleas have sometimes been
put forward in support of the reprieve
Of notorious criminals. One Of the
strangest was that on behalf Of
George Ruloff, an American school
teacher. who was convicted in 1870
Of series Of robberies and murders.
his own wife and daughter being
among the victims. For cold-blooded
cruelty his record would be hard to
beat, but Ruloff had his other side.
He was an ardent philologist, and
had been engaged for years on the In
vention of universal language. No
one could attempt to palliate his
crimes. but widely signed petition
was presented to the governor Of Vir-
ginia for his reprieve on the ground
that as his invention, If completed,
would be of the utmost benefit TO man
kind it would be criminal folly to ex-
tinguish such light of learning. The
governor thought otherwise and Ruloff
was duly hanged.

Heavy Drinking Marked
Festivities of Greeks

The festival Of Dionysus had an i'm
portant influence on the life of an
cient Greece, as well as On its litera-
ture and art. There were four of
these every year, the Detroit News
notes. One was celebrated when the
new wine was tasted for the first
time and plentiful drinking was char
acteristie Of this festival. A great
banquet accompanied the festivities. A
feature of another festival, also In
honor Of the wine god, was drink
ing contest. At a signal given by a
trumpet, all who took part in it set
their pitchers to their mouths and the
judges allotted the victory to him who
first emptied his. The prize consist
ed of a skin of wine cakes or some
thing of that sort. Besides the public
banquet there were also private hos
pitalities provided for those who pre-
ferred to celebrate the day by them
selves in the circle of a few intimate
friends and at these also much drink
ing went on.

The Appian way was constructed
as a military road from Rome to
Capua, distance Of about 132 miles,
by the Emperor Appius Caudius,

Good Word for Wasps

The insects eaten by wasps include
bud and blossom destroyers, leaf roll
ers and miners, stem-borers and leaf
cutters-minute vegetarian pests that
we are doing our best to exterminate
by sprays and insecticides.
Another point to be noted is that
while the wasp catches and eats the
egg-laying insect itself, our sprays and
Insecticides can aim only, or chiefly, at
killing the grub; and when that grub
is safely buried inside stem or a
fruit bud, then we are absolutely help

Ninepins 700 Years Old

According to Doctor Ebstein, Ger

game of ninepins was discovered in
an old chronicle of Paderbon, Prussia.
Paderbon is the seat of the Episcopal
church of Westphalia province, and
here some 700 years ago the eccle-
siastics invented the game, which they
played during Lenten season. They
put up nine wooden pins; at which
they threw balls. These balls they
called heather" At first only three
balls were used, but later the num-
Der was increased until. as at present
seventeen balls were used.
