Cattle in London Streets

The custom of driving pigs, sheep
and cattle through the streets, prac-
tice begun centuries ago when London
was village, is still being carried on.
However, II is seldom that the public
generally witnesses the sight, as the
work Is done during the early hours OF
the morning. A herd Of cattle, de-
layed on Its way to the market, got
into a traffic jam recently in Holborn,
one Of the city's main thoroughfares
and extra policemen had to be called
to assist the drivers in their task Of
getting the animals started again The
present-day city regulations provide
that live stock can be driven through
the streets only between the hours Of
midnight and five in the morning.

Home of the Violin

Mlttenwald, Bavaria, is the home Of
some of the most famous viollns of
the world. 1t is the Cremona of Ger
many. Walking down street Of Nit
tenwald, one begins to believe that
violin making is the only thing that
goes on there at all. AS a matter Of
fact, 1t is this industry that keeps
Mittenwald alive. Its violins are ex-
ported to all the countries of Europe
and America This industry was es-
tablished in the early part Of the
Eighteenth century when Mittenwald
was in a most impoverished state as
result of the Thirty Years war. Since
then 1t has prospered and f1ourished
and the inhabitants Of Mittenwald
have good reason to be grateful to
Matthias Klotz. founder Of its violin
industry.

Antiquity of Alphabet

The Phoenlcian alphabet ancestor
of all the alphabets Of modern west
ern civilization, has had over seven
centuries added to it's known period
Of existence as a result Of recent dis
coveries in Asia Minor, Prof. James
A. Montgomery Of the University Of
Pennsylvania told at a gathering Of
members of the American Philo-
sophical society recently. Inscriptions
made by the Hittites and Cretans,
and also others found In Sinai. which
date back to the Fifteenth century
B. c., cause this revision Of ideas on
antiquity of our letters. Previously
the earliest known inscriptions in
these characters was the so-called
"Moabite stone" discovered in 1858,
and generally believed to have been
written about $50 B. C.-Science

Ori9inaL of "Mother Goose"

Very little Is known about the
origin of the Mother Goose rhymes.
The name Mother Goose" is sup
posed to have had Its origin In French
folklore Queen Goosefoot, mother of
Charlemogne, was regarded as the
special patron of children and her fes
tival Is still celebrated. Though the
name originated in France the rhymes
are English. New rhymes have been
added to the collection from time to
time, most of them being taken from
English folklore. There is nothing to
the story that the original Mother
Goose was Mrs Goose who lived in
Boston. As early as 1928 Charles
Perrault published book In England
entitled the Tales of Mother Goose"
Many Of the rhymes were probably
old then.-Pathfinder Magazine.

"Well, sub, it's this way: If it's a

happens to be stranger to the poll

ask him if his father fought for the
Confederacy and if he says yes we
ask him IL he chews tobacco, and if
his answer still is Yes we say to
him: Walk right in and VOTE"

Bronze Turkey Popular
The Bronze turkey is most wide

The Bronze turkey is most widely
nown. 1t is larger and heavier than
the others, often weighing as much as
90 pounds. while the largest of the
other varieties seldom exceeds 80
pounds. In color it is copperish

and white-tipped tail feathers There
are many crosses of this variety with
the wild turkey which can be distin-
guished from the pure breed by the
coior tips of the tail feathers. which
are yellowish brown instead Of white.
