Quaint Annual Festiva!
In Shakespeare's Town

Coming almost coincidentally with
Thanksgiving day in Canada, is
celebrated at the historic town of
Straford- -on-Avon, immortalized by
William Shakespeare, what is called
the annual Mop" day, the Montreal
Family Herald tells us. It's name
was derived from the oldtime custom
of men with mops journeying
through the streets; but although
this has now died out, the fair has
never lost its quaint name. Pigs
and other animals are roasted
whole in the streets, in small walled
in spaces. At the largest Mop,
which was just before the outbreak
of the war with Germany, there
were SO pigs and Is other beasts
roasted. The meat is sold at ad-
Jacent tables or to the citizens who
send their servants to fetch it. Part
CT the custom is to eat Banbury
cakes on Mop day. Originally a hir-
ing fair, both for farm hands and for
maid servants, a fortnight later it is
followed by the Runaway Mop"
This was instituted TOR those who,
having found their situations un-
satisfactory, had run away. Ser
wants hired at the Little Mop" were
forced to keep their places until the
Big Mop" came around again. For
the big Mop" there are countless
caravans and side-shows, switch
backs. and wild-beast shows; but
for the Runaway" there are only a
small number, as few as five pigs
and two beasts sometimes sufficing
for the roast.

Built Bolivian Railway

The most wonderful, and at the
same time the most isolated, railway
in the world is in South America.
1t begins and ends 1000 miles from
civilization.
The terminus Of steam naviga-
tion up the Amazon and its mighty
tributary. the Madeira river. Is at
Porto Velho, 1000 miles from the
sea. Here the Madeira -Marmore
railway begins, carrying the traveller
and his merchandise past ESQ miles
of cataracts and rapids to the navi-
gable rivers Of Bolivia.
The task of getting European
goods into northeastern Bolivia used
to be gigantic. 1t took six months,
and every pound had to be carried on
the backs Of natives to escape the
rapids. The railway was begun as
long ago as 1874, but it had to be
abandoned, because every sleeper laid
cost life. 1t was only when medi-
cal science stepped In to help the
engineers that the colossal task was
accomplished ten years ago.
The line was built by the gov
ernment of Brazil. 1t circumvents 19
cataracts. starts 1000 miles from any
other railroad, ar1 ends at similar
distance in Bolivia. The great wat
erways complete the journey frbm
Atlantic to Pacific. The Americans
say that 1t was really built by Doctor
Loveace and quinine."
