The compromise is understood to

prorata basis.
All oil coming in above a fixed

Precocity Frowned On
by This African Tribe

When a child in the Bahanga
tribe, of southern Africa, says the
equivalent of mamma" or papa"
before what authorities of the com
munity decide is the normal time,
or if its tiny upper incisors peep
through the gums when they still
should be out of sight, it is just
too bad.
Such a tragedy ranks next to hav-
Ing twins, the Catholic Anthropo-
logical society is told. In the case of
the precocious infant, only it's death
before evil strikes can save the par
ents. 1t is now illegal to leave
the child in the grass to die, so
in recent years an elaborate sys-
tenn of sacrifices has been devised,
but the natives look upon it as Of
doubtful efficiency.
Parents who have twins are con-
sidered accursed. They may not
leave the hut fsr two months for
fear of bringing disaster on the en-
tire countryside. If they do, sick
ness and death will come wherever
they go; crops in the fields along
which they walk will dry up and
wells they use will be poisoned.
At the end of two months the
women of the tribe, by suitable in
carnations, expel the evil spirits
from the house and all is well
again.

Horseshoe Superstitions

There are varying views on the
origin of the superstition concern
ing the horseshoe. Some think it
is lucky because it has seven nail
holes in it. Another idea is that
the horseshoe is lucky because
witches are afraid of it. So If a
horseshoe is placed outside your
door, no witch will dare to enter.
1t is possible that one object of
hanging up horseshoes in the old
days was a desire to appear
wealthy in the eyes of passers-by,
for only comparatively rich man
possessed a horse, shod with iron.
By the way. the luckiest horseshoe
is supposed to be the first one shed
by a mare, and you must hang this
with the opening at the top in or
der that the luck will not drop out !

Generous Allowance of
Wine for Royal Infants

In 1862 milk was not considered
an important item in a child's diet,
and, if the household account of the
chateau Of Amboise is anything TO
go by, the younger generation in
those days could not complain that
wine was scarce.
The six royal children living in
the chateau were supplied daily
with % pints of red wine and a
similar quantity of white wine.
while for their attendants of gen.
teel birth a further % pints of a
cheaper red wine was provided.
Their staff had to be content with
30 pints of cheap claret.
The daily account also shows that
IS dozen loaves of bread were paid
for. Pike, roach, carp, gudgeon,
crawf1sh, a sea turtle, oysters. sole,
cod, white and red herrings also
are listed, including, oddly enough,
four viperS.

Hard to Trace Origin

DR.. Frank Fl. Vizetelly in his
book on "Idioms and Idiomatic
Phrases" says Let her go, Gala
gher!" is an Americanism of un-
known origin, traced by various
persons to different sources. He
quotes, however, G. E. Gallagher of
Youngstown, Ohio, who wrote in
1921: Let her go. Gallagherr' was
first seen by the writer (Mr. Gal
lagher) on posters advertising a
dance at Salamanca, n. Y, about
80 years ago. My father was post
master at that place, and working
in the post Office were a number of
very popular young ladies who
were always active in the social af-
fairs of the town. These posters
referred to the girls who worked
for Gallagher"

Originated Postal System

Hailed by many as the father OF
the modern postal system, the one
hundredth anniversary of Heinrich
Won Stephan was modestly cele-
brated in Germany. He came from
very humble origin and rose to be
director of the Royal Prussian post.
The work for which he is particu-
larly remembered was engineering
the world postal union, which be-
came effective on July 1, 1875, after
the Berne conference had sat only
a week and half before accept
ing his scheme without change.
Germans perhaps treasure Won
Stephan's memory particularly as
the originator of the cheap-rate
postcard. Indeed, his name is
closely associated with all the
postal innovations of his time.

Another Chinese Wall

Another huge Chinese wall has
been discovered by the Or. Suen
Hedin expedition. Al article by

lowed the route over the Mongolian
highlands and the Cobb desert. Thi1
was the first time that motor car
had been driven from Peiping to
Maomo without, at any point Of
the route, encroaching on the terri
tory of the Mongolian republic. The
most remarkable discovery from an
archaeological point of view was a
wall of earth and stone which they
could trace for several hundred me-
ters. 1t was very well preserved
in parts, and 1t perhaps corresponds
with the discovery which Mr.. Berg
man made some time ago of a fort
ress of the early Han dynasty.

one of the black specie in bed with
her one morning last week. Resid-
ing on a farm her husband arose
about daybreak in order to attend

cided to take another sleep before
getting breakfast. She fell in a
doze and was partly awakened by
something tickling her feet She
thought it was her husband trying
to awaken her and she pretended
not to notice it but as the tickling
became more intense she began to
talk to her husband, as she
thought, telling him that she was
not asleep. Receiving no answer
she sat up and then noticed that
the object against her feet was
cold and clammy. Terribly fright
ened, she sprang out of bed and
saw at the foot a large black
snake. Her husband came to her
calls and killed the snake.
