Ono of the at rankest “ wishing

respondent in the Ixindoc Morning
Post, is situated near Batavia, in
Java. The revived patronage of
Scottish wishing walls can scarcely
provide such a sight as may be seen
aay day barely a stone’s throw from
tha town.
Interest there is centered upon an
ancient cannon, half imbedded in
tha earth, to which comes a multi-
colored 'procession of Javanese,
Malays and other orientals, bring
ing gifts of painted lanterns. Each
visitor circles three times rounjj the
cmnnon, places his lantern beside it
and ailently makes his wish. The
solemnity of the rite is enhanced
by a belief that the cannon is one
of a pair, of which one has been
lost, and that, if ever the two are
brought together again, the whole
course of the country’s future will
bo altered.

The secretary of war lias recom
mended that nearly a dozen old
army forts, including four in Mary
land, be abandoned. Among these
four is Fort McHenry, which bears
the name of an early secretary of
war, James McHenry, who had
been secretary to General Washing
ton. It had its beginning as a forti
fied area in 1776. It was then that
construction of the first fortifica
tion, a water battery, was started.
Later, in 1794, it was developed in
to an inclosed, bastioned fort.
The fort gained immortal place
in American history in 1814, when
it withstood intense bombardment
for two days, and repulsed the Brit
ish fleet.

At one of the market stands
a farmer stopped to buy two small
steaks. And they were small in
deed.
\a the butcher was wrapping
them up he said: “Those are vary
fine steaks for SO aants.”
But somehow the farmer did not
feel that he was getting a bargain,
