Quaaltagh Is One Of the
Oldest of British Festivals

Quaaltagh is seldom heard of in
England, but is one of the oldest
British festivals. It is observed in
parts of the Isle of Man, where Gus
toms similar TO "frst-footing" in
Scotland are kept up, says Tit-Bits.
Men 60 from house to house singing
special festival songs, and are in
vited in for bite and a drink.
Always, dark men 60 first.
But there are one or two customs
in connection with Quaaltagh which
are observed nowhere else. Before
midnight the floor of the kitchen is
swept. always starting at the door
and sweeping to the hearth, other
wise good luck will be swept out.
Before retiring, the ashes are taken
from the fire and smoothed over the
hearth with pair of tongs, and in
the morning the housewife looks
eagerly at the ashes for tracks of a
human foot. If there is one and the
toes point to the door, it means
death for one in the house; if the
footprint is reversed, it means the
birth of a child.

Sardine Varieties

All sardines are small fishes Of
the herring family. In California
the variety used is the California
sardine SARDINIA coerulea); in
Maine, the sea herring (Clupea ha-
rengus); in France and Portugal,
the pilchard (Clupea pilchardus),
and in Norway, the sprat (Clupea
sprattus). The name is derived from
that of the island of Sardinia, in the
Mediterranean, around whose coasts
the fish was first caught in quantity.
The Americana states that the name
is a general one applied to various
small fishes of the family Clupei-
dae, as well as, and less correctly,
to the young of some of the larger
species. The usual French sardine
is the yearling fish of what becomes,
when full grown, the pilchard, 8 to
10 inches long. The large Califor-
MIA sardine is also a true sardine,
but in the Maine sardine industry,
the young of the sea herring are
packed.

Now, Danny had had a great deal
Of experience in his short life, and
he knew the ways of Reddy Fox
quite as well as Reddy knew his
ways He knew that it was his wits
against Reddy's wits. He knew, too,
that if he just ran Reddy would soon
catch him, for, of course, d great
big fellow like Reddy cana run a
great deal faster than little BIT of
a fellow like Danny. So he knew
that if he would escape he.must fool
Reddy Fox. So once as Reddy
sprang Danny stopped short, and, of
course, Reddy sprang completely
over him. Then Danny darted back
the way he had just come. For a
minute Reddy was fooled. Then he
heard the rustic of Danny's scurry-
ing feet behind him and knew what
had happened. Instantly he whirled
about and was after Danny once
more.
Now, if Danny had been Ear his
own home he would have ha' plenty
OF safe hiding places, but oy n here
at the home of little Miss N@nny he
didn't know where the hidins places
were and he felt quite helpless. He
was getting quite out of breath and
he felt lame and very sore where
Reddy's claws had hurt him. But
his courage was good and he was
bound that he wouldn't give up. He
had been IN tight places before,
and he was sure that somehow he
would get out of his present trouble
= If he only kept his wits abe It him
and tried his very hardet. He
lodged into little side path just
because it was handy, and fnen he
remembered that this little Gath led
straight to the old brush pie, un-
der which little Miss Nanny had SO
many little galleries, and where
he had tried so hard to find her. If
he could reach that he would be
safe.
Danny drew a long breath and
ran harder than ever. H6 didn't
stop to look behind him. He didn't
need to. His ears told him au that
he needed to know. Reddy Fox had
discovered which path he had taken
and was right after him. The /, was
the old brush pile just aheadt Could
he get there in time? How tired his
legs were. 1t seemed as if he
couldn't run another step. He grit

run faster than ever. -
Plump, Down came the paws of
Reddy Fox, and one of them landed
on Danny's funny, little stubby tail.
He squeaked with fright and pain.

!ecessity Mothered the
Footwear of the Old West

In the days when the West was
.eing won the boots developed as a
randy item for a man who spent q
OF of time in the saddle. The 2
nch heel was designed to prevent
he foot from slipping through the
stirrup. If your foot slipped through
the stirrup and your horse took a
tumble you could be sure Of nasty
fracture The sharp toe was calcu-
lated to fit the foot snugly into the
stirrup, says the Kansas City Star.
The 6 or finch height Of the up
oers developed in much the same
practical manner. They protected
he horseman's ankle from chafing
by the saddle gear, kept the ankles
warm in chilly weather and also
saved wear and tear on trousers.
The same practically applied to
the fancy stitching on the uppers.
These elaborate designs were to pre-
vent the soft uppers from col1apsing
around the wearer's instep. 4 pre-
stiffened leather, upper, it was dis
covered, was not comfortable
enough. The high heel throws the
weight Of the body forward ON Che
ball Of the foot; the proper place
for it. Most persons are inclined
to stand Or walk on their heels.
The heavy-heel shoe stance throws
the body out Of line and II you stand
around that way long enough you
end up with pain in your legs or
in your back.
The pointed toe does not, as you
might think, cramp your foot be-
cause your toes don't extend all the
way. They stop about two inches
short of the tip and have just as
much room as they would have in
regulation army brogans.

MR.. ]. c. FERRARI, of Washing
A'A ton, states that even as early
as two years of age, a child has
shown all the traits which he will
have in adult life, including original
ity, optimism, spontaneity, sinceri-
ty, vitality, sense of humor, leader
ship, etc ! would be willing to
agree that all these traits are pres
ent at two years of age, but ! would
not agree that they do not change
after that. Circumstances may turn
optimism into pessimism, leadership
into self-consciousness, and vitality
into lethargy. Likewise, bad traits
can be turned to good ones, but few
people are willing to expend the eff
fort necessary to do this. Never
theless, it must be admitted that
the two-year-old traits tend to per-
sist unless overcome by circum-
stances. Some persist more active
ly than others.

the need for preserved foods to sup
ply armies in the field. During the
Napoleonic wars so many soldiers
died from deficiency diets or slow
starvation that the French govern

an effective method of preserving
food. The first canned food was
put up in sealed glass jars which
were heated in boiling water after
