Trenchers of Wood
Often Works of Art

Wooden trenchers, commonly called
''treen" were in common use during the
Middle ages in Great Britain. "Masers"
or cups and bowls were frequently men,
toned in wills and inventories. The
finer specimens belonged to the richer
abbeys-thus, there was the Great
Maser at York, the Judas Cup at Dur
ham, and at st. Savior's. Southwark,
there was "a maser with bordour and
knop Of sylver and gilt which was
given to the church wardens TO drink
when they mete." These valuable
wooden cups were sometimes orna-
mented by rim of silver, but other
wise they were seldom decorated by
more than a few low holdings or in
cised lines. Their value and beauty
lay in the granting of the wood. gen.
orally maple, and the old turner's
chose the part of the trunk where it
divided off into branches so as to OBJ
tain the speckled bird s-eye granting
BY Tudor times pewter began to take
the place of treen, though poorer folk
continued to use these wooden trench
ers and bowls till much later, especial
ly in the north Of England and in Scot
land.

The Marriage Problem

You can no more make yourself
keep on loving some one to order than
you can make yourself fall in or out
of love with some one to order. It's
like asking small boy to light a
street lamp with only a match. He
can't reach-the whole things beyond
him. That's the tragedy-the whole
relationship is dependent on some
thing that sails as airily remote above
your head as drifting cloud. To
base on that an irrevocable agree
ment? It's simply asking for trOu-
Bile. It's like jumping into ten feet

Burial of Broddock

Gen. Edward Braddock was buried
In the middle of the road about so
miles from Cumberland, Md. Care
was taken to close the grave and have
the troops and wagon train pass over
it to efface all marks of the burial.
This was to prevent dissertation of the
remains by the Indians. Many years
later General Braddock's grave was
discovered when a road was being
built through that part of Pennsylva-
mia. Part Of the bones of Braddock
finally found their way to a museum
in Philadelphia. 1t is said that some
of them were also taken to England.
At any rate they were removed from
their resting place in the forest.

Woodcock Second to No
Bird for Intelligence

II we may believe the naturaIists,
the woodcock Is an unusual bird.
When migrating he flies at a great
height until he wishes to rest, and
then descends almost perpendicularly
to the spot which he has chosen. AS
a worm-digger he is unexcelled, and
has even been known TO have a batting
average of 1000 when sticking his
long bill into the turf in search Of
breakfast.
Among the other characteristics is
dislike of bright light, which makes
him keep in the dark during the day
time. Whether this Is due to thwarted
vanity, naturalists do not tell us, al
though he is described as having legs
which are too short for his large body.
tail only half as long as it should be,
neck which is both too short and too
fat, and a bill which is too long and
too straight. To complete the list of
his qualities, his eyes are said TO be
too far back and his head entirely out
of drawing.
Undoubtedly the nature takers could
tell US what sort of complex afflicts
him, for they have again revived the
story that the woodcock is capable of
Self-surgery, and has been known to
put broken leg in splints and TO dress
his wounds with plaster made of mud
and grass. The authority for this as
sertion is given in the Living Age as
writer in PEcho de Paris, who has
gathered testimony from witnesses in
Sardinia, Thrace and France The
jackdaw of Reims apparently isn't In
1t for pure avian acumen.

zen, and known as a Highland cock,
has broken away from the bird ira

among the trees or caves, has launched
out on bold and original lines of its
