Festival of St. Peter

On the eve of st. Peters day bon
fires were commonly prepared and ig-
nited throughout Great Britain. This
festival was most fervently kept up
at Elton during the Middle ages,
where the boys made their bonfires
against the church. In London the
day was also associated with bonfires
in the streets and with the setting of
Watch at night, the Watch parad-
ing with torches, and sometimes num-
bering fully 1000 citizens. History
records how King Hal, disguised in a
guardsman's coat, went privately into
Cheape to witness the pageant. York
shire fishermen remembered st. Peter
on his day by holding festival. dress
ing their boats and painting their
masts. and sprinkling the prows wish
good liquor for good luck.

Early United States
Official Giuen Homo,

The 1922 series of so gold certifi-
Gates bears the likeness of Michael Hill
legas, the first treasurer of the United
States. The germ of the Treasury de-
partment was planted on July %, 1775.
when the Continental congress appoint
ed two treasurers. The appointments
were Hfllegas and George Clymer. The
latter soon resigned to accept his seat
as delegate to the congress HilIegas
discharged the duties of treasurer un-
til September l. 1889.
The Treasury department was or
ganized under an act of September 2,
1883. Strictly speaking, IT was reor-
ganized. for the department. under
various names, had been in existence
since 1775. The Constitution went in
to effect March 4, 1889. Washington
was inaugurated as the first President
of the United States April 30, 1889. 1t
will thus be seen that Hillegas was
treasurer many months after the in
auguration of Washington, and for
nine days after the Treasury depart
ment was organized under the Consti-
tuition.

Intelligent Reading

II the books which you read are your
own mark with a pen or pencil the
most considerable things in them
which you most desire to remember.
Then you may read that book the sec
ond time over with half the trouble.
by your eye running over the para
graphs which your pencils has noted.
It is but very weak objection against
this practice to say. 81 shall spoil my
book; for ! persuade myself that you
did not buy 1t as a bookseller, to sell
1t again for gain, but as scholar, to
improve your mind by it; and If the
mind be improved, your advantage is
abundant. though your book yields less
money to your executors.

Jimson Weed Valuable

Both the leaves and seeds of the
jimson have medicinal properties. The
leaves are collected at the time of
Towering, and the entire plant is cut
or pulled up and the leaves stripped
and dried in the shade The leaves
are poisonous, causing dilation of the
pupil of the eye. and are used princi-
pally in asthma. For the collection of
the seeds. the capsules should be taken
from the plants when they are quite
ripe. but still Of a green color. The
capsules should then be dried for a
few days. when they will burst open
and the seeds can be readily shaken
out. These should then be CAREFUL,
dried.

When PilloTy Was Used

The use of the pillory for the pun
ishment of evil doers was only abol-
ished In England during comparative
ly recent times. and was In active op-
GRAFTON in June, 1897. This peculiar
form of punishment has venerable
history, and was known before the
Conquest. in the form of an instru-
ment of torture called the stretch
neck. The pillory was usually dedi.
Gated to fraudulent dealers. sellers of
sham gold rings. or counterfeiters of
papal bulls. until Star chamber tyrants
made 1t political weapon whereby
many noble heart was tried and
tempered.

Warn, Current EXISTS,
No Matter HoW Called

It was with some CONSERVATION that
one read in the newspapers that the
gulf stream had been proved a myth.
II one of the sacred scientific trinity
had died, what was to become of the
others-the nebular hypothesis and the
law of gravitation?
A closer reading however, was reas-
surfing, remarks the New York Evening
Mail 1t appears that NJ. LIE Danois,
a French savant. asserts that there is
no such thing as gulf stream. What
is called by that name is a combina-
ton of ocean tides.
There are. he says, two kinds of
water in the North Atlantic, warm and
cold The warm moves in north
ward current to some undetermined
point and turns backward again. The
fluctuations, however. are tidal.
One has vague memory of reading
something very like that in the physi-
cal geography book about twenty years
ago. Apparently the phenomena exist,
whether one explains them by the
term gulf stream or as ocean tides.
That which we call a gulf stream by
another name will smell as sweet to
migratory herring and sardine and,
happlly, one can still paraphrase
Romeo and Juliet" regardless of
whether Bacon or Shakespeare wrote
It. And the warm Atlantic current
still saves Europe from a return to
the glacial period regardless of
whether one accept the nomenclature
OF Franklin or that of NJ. LIE Danois.
