Recall Days of Drake

When-if ever-the Nicaraguan
canal is built and the United States

the Mosquito coast on Little Corn

English of the days Of Good Queen

They are lineal descendants of the
British buccaneers who once made
letter-of-mark warfare on the fleets of
Spain numbering up from the south
to beat their slow way through Yucca

applied to the game itself, and by ex-
tension to the place where the game
was played. Thus Pall-Mall (pro-
nounced pell-mell). famous street in
London, received its name from the
fact that the site was formerly pail.
mall alley. In the United States "The
Mall" is applied specifically to strip
of land lying between the capitol and
the Washington monument. It is
bounded on the east by the capitol
grounds. on the south by Maryland
avenue and B Street Southwest, on
the north by Pennsylvania avenue and
B Street Northwest, and on the west
by Seventeenth street. It includes
the botanic garden, East Seaton
park, West Seaton park, Henry
park, Smithsonian grounds, agricul-
tural grounds and the monument
grounds. In the original plans pre-
pared by the French engineer, Len
FAINT, and approved by Washington,
the Mall was to be 1000 feet wide
and was to present an unobstructed
vista from the monument to the cap
itol. This plan was departed from.
and there are now a number Of build

use the name "Mall" on his maps Of,

the rural districts of Hungary girls
and women wear from eight to a
dozen daintily embroidered petticoats,
all in different colors, making the
wearers appear like Dresden dolls

Hungarian girls still use wooden
stockings and recently. when a local
coquette ignored village gossip to the
point of wearing silk hose, she was
held up to public Opprobrium. Petit
coats and all dresses are heirlooms as

Europe, for centuries on the other
side of the world from America, is
now "just across the way'-by tele-
phone. The telephone first bridged
the gap across the Atlantic January
Z, 1927, when service was established
between New York and London. Since
that time the telephones of many ma
lions have been made available to
users on this side of the ocean. Today
the 100000 telephones serving the
United States are available for inter-
communication with 100000 tele-
phone stations in many foreign coun-
tries.
Nations whose telephones may now
be interconnected with those of the
United States include Canada, Cuba,
Mexico, Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Spain, and Spanish Morocco,
AITiCd, belSluuls I1Ollduu, OWlLZe1'
land, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Dam
zig, Hungary, Austria, and Czecho-
Slovakia.
In. establishing the service between
the United States and foreign coun-
tries many notables have talked with
each other. Only recently with the
Inauguration of telephone service be-
tween the United States and Spain.
NPresident Coolidge exchanged felici-

Navajo Blankets

The Smithsonian institution says:
"The Yebechai are nature gods of the
Navajo whose chief function is heal
ing the sick. The so-called Yebechai
dance is ceremony for this purpose.
Up to some years ago representations
of the gods were painted in colored
sands at the ceremony and wiped out
at the close. Later. the Navajo began
to weave the Yebechai figures in rugs
for sale. These rugs are usually made
on hand loom. This may easily be-
told if the designs are alike on both
sides as to form and color. Such spec-I
linens were never common" ~H,11

Parrot Loved a Puppy

An uncommon story of parrots
supreme love for puppy comes from
Charleroi. A month ago the owner of
the parrot adopted puppy a few
days old, which had lost its mother.
The helpless state of the dog
seemed to have been understood by
the parrot, which at once made its
home beside it in its basket. kept Il
warm with it's outstretched wings, and
permitted no one to approach its
protege except Its master at feeding
time.
Unfortunately the puppy died. The
parrot was inconsolable, refused to
eat or drink, and has also died.

1t is curious to find clergyman put
ting forward the view that the title,
''the Lords House." applied to
churches, was originally given to them
because lords of the manor held courts
there. This appears in a book about
a remote Kent parish, All Hallows,
Hoo. 1t is certainly true, as the au-
thor contends, that churches in pre-
Reformation days were more like vii.
lage halls. Plays were acted in them
and inquiries of any kind held; some
times valuables were stored there. But
they were to the people Gods houses

in the close populated island. The
varied and radiant hues of their raj

ali occasional batik "sarong" lend
them a picturesqueness unknown to

"Go hide thyself." But we do not
like the hiding. We prefer publicity.
We do not like the mirth and the
merry-making silenced and sit alone
with conscience and think on our
conduct. To be called from popu-
laritv to obscurity is not pleasant.
But there is a reason for this
divinely appointed seclusion, for un'
til we are on our faces before God,
we are not fit to be on our feet be-
fore the people.

the Joy of worship and the inspira-
tion of the presence of God. This is
our need today. The restoration of
the lost art of worship. Then our
attendance at Church will be the
most natural expression of the long
ing of our souls. When We hide
with God we can help our fellow
pilgrims. We can help the Church
to make effective the program of
Jesus.
