Taverns Played B'g
Part in So:ial Lift
Tar In the Colonial dn.vs anr
In the early day of the republic, es
peclally In New England, wore the
rnoiit Important part of all Ainertear
octal Institutions. In addition t
furnlshlnc rest and refreshment foi
the traveler the tavern wn towt
hall, a court of Justice, an auction
room, a dancing assembly and some
time a church and playhouse.
In . New England, until the repeol
of the antl-theatrlcal law In 17S3, play
acting was rigorously banned as the,
most wicked of all the contrivance
of the devil for destroying the virtue
of the world. ,
However, from the motives ot pa
ternal kindness toward the populace
nd In order that they should not he
wholly without amusing diversions,
pillories, stocks, whipping posts and
bilboes were always set up nearNav
erna so that when petty offender
wero subjected to the operations ol
these pleasant devices the guests oi
loiterers of the taverns could hear
the groans and cries of the victim
while sipping their flip, punch or sack
Thci did our pious forbears furnish
free moral entertainment of a realis
tic character, the very antithesis ot
i-. Cold Didn't Materially
A Chicago Inventor named Brlce, In
1897, was seeking a patent on a proc
ess for making gold from a mixture
of antimony. Iron and sulphur. The
patent office would not grant It with
out proof that the idea had merit,
and the then secretary of the tress
ury was persuaded to d'rect the mint
bureau te try the thing out. There
most have been something wrong
about the methods of the treasury
' laboratory, for not a particle of guld
r sliver wss obtained.
Chinett New Year
rn t-.e vreaslim of the new year
the Chinese exchange the preetlns
"Rung Hal Fat Tsoy," meaning "Con
gratulations; may you collect wraith."
The word "Ulng," meaning "halt." U
repeated by them numerous time
.-During the celebration of the nrv
year all secret societies and giilhl
whose rivalry la often very bitter. J
elare a "Truce of the Gods." when n
man may stuck his brother. This i
generally respected by both the hunter
and the hunted, who are glut! or u
relief.
Proper Food for Parrot
Parrots In the wild state live ot
seed and fruit, snd should! while li
captivity, be fed as nearly as rl
ble the same kind of fo.il. The
should be fed sunflower seed, hemp
seed, boiled yellow corn, stale bread
soaked In water, an occasional plect
of apple or banana, roasted peanuts,
dry crackers. Plenty of water and
rrarel should be kept In the rase
The parrot's cage should be cleaned
every day.
Sure-Footed Coral
Among the strange animals thai
came under the observation of I to;
Andrews, who conducts an expedi
tion Into further China for the Amert
-aq Museum of Natural History, n
the goral, a mountain gout. "1 hnv,
seen a goral,' says the explorer, "rut
at full speed down the side or a tin
that appeared to be almost parpen

One of the most extraordinary of
Australian trees Is the "flro tree"
which Is common In New South
