Quaint Annual Festival in Shakespeare's Town Coming almost coineideutnlly with Thanksgiving day In Cannda, Is celebrated at the historic town of Stratford-on-Avon, Immortalized by William Shakespeare, what Is called the annual "Mop" dny, the Montreal Family Herald tells us. Its name was derived from the old time custom of men with mops jour neying through the streets; but al though this has now died out, the fair lias never lost Its quaint name. Pigs and other animals are roasted whole in the streets, in small, walled-ln spaces. At the largest Mop, which was just before the out break of the war with Germany, there were 36 pigs and 16 other beasts roasted. The meat Is sold at adjacent tables or to the citizens who send their servants to fetch it. Part of the custom Is to eat Banbury cakes on Mop day. Orig inally a hiring fair, both for farm hands and for maidservants, a fort night later it is followed by the "Runaway Mop." This wrb Insti tuted for those who, having found their situations unsatisfactory, had run away. Servants hired at the "Little Mop" were forced to keep their places until the "Big Mop" came around again. For the "Big Mop" there are countless caravans and side-shows, switchbacks, and wild-beast shows ; but for the "Run away" there are only a small num ber, as few as five pigs and two beasts sometime sufficing for the roast. "Doctor and Quinine" Built Bolivian Railway The most wonderful, and at the same time the most isolated, rail way In the world is In South Amer ica. It begins and ends 2,000 miles from civilization. The terminus of steam naviga tion up the Amazon and Its mighty tributary, the, Madeira river, is at Porto Velho, 2,000 miles from the sea. Here the MndVira-Miirmore railway begins, carrying the trav eler and his merchandise past 250 miles of cataracts and rapids to the navigable rivers nf Bolivia. The task of getting European goods into northeastern Bolivia used to be gigantic. It took six months, and every pound had to be carried on the backs of natives to escape the rapids. The railway was begun as long ago as 1N74, hut it had to be abandoned, because every sleeper laid cost a life. It was only when medical science stepped In to help the, engineers that the colossal task was accom plished ten years asro. The line was built by the gov ernment of Brazil. It circumvents 19 cataracts, starts 2,000 miles from any other railroad, nnd ends at a similar distance In Bolivia. The great waterways complete the Jour ney from Atlantic to Pacific. The Americans say that it was really built by Doctor Lovelace and quinine. I tin glass Production Isinglass Is the commercial name for dried swimming bladders of sev eral varieties of fish. The amount of gelatin In Isinglass Is from 80 to 93 per cent and even more. It Is prepared by tearing the air blad der or sound from the back of the fish, from which It has been loos ened by striking sweral blows with a wooden club, thn washing In cold water. The black outer skin Is re moved with a knife, again washed and spread on a board to dry in the open air, with the white shiny skin turned upward. To prpvent shriveling or shrinking, the blad ders must he fastened to a drying board. The best quality of Isinglass comes from sounds that are dried In the sun. After drying, the sound Is again moistened with warm water and the Interior shiny skln'ls re moved by hammering or rubbing. Finally, it Is rolled between two polished Iron rollers. She Said So, Anyway The young maji who was endeav oring to win the favor of ITughle's pretty sister met the boy on the street one morning and greeted him with much cordiality. "Do you think ynur sister was pleased to know I had called the other day?" he whs at last forced to ask bluntly, after several ef forts to guide ITughle's conversation In that direction. "Sure!" said Hughlp, with grati fying promptness. "I know she was. I heard her sny so. '"When she came home mother said: 'Mr. Jones called while you were out,' and she said: 'He did? Well, I'm glad of that! " Fixed "Index Number" The "Index number" Is a well-established device commonly used for measuring changes In wholesale nd retail prices, and .rjjtes of wages over long periods or time. It Is con structed by securing each month the prices or rates of a uniform list of certain specified places, and strik ing an average. Such numbers are usually reduced to percentages. The lowest price known is some times taken as a base, or as lr. case of Investment stocks, 100 Is used. Ased "When Is a man or woman old?" One man answers that question this way: "You are old, whatever your age, when you automatically re ject a new idea with 'I don't be lieve it !' You are old when the happiness of others no longer In terests or gives you pleasure, when life looks gray, when you lose confi dence In human nature." Concrete is old when it is hard and set, and It Is the same with the brain of man or woman." From Health Culture. He Never Returned Mr. Staylate Really, I must be going. I must say those saddest words ever spoken good-by. Miss Weerle You might say something sadder than that. You might say "Au revolr." Boston Transcript. Pumpkin Sea Story Years ago a Bath shipmaster sail ing out of Boston on a foreign voy age took along a great quantity of pumpkins for ills crew, but left some of them on the wharf, because the steward said he could not use more. They were fed pumpkins so often that the crew became fearfully tired of them, so .one night a large number of them were thrown over board without the captain's knowl edge. The ship was becalmed and In the morning the captain saw pumpkins hohblng about on the sea. He called the steward and asked him what he knew about them. "I think those are some of the pump kins we left in Boston that were thrown overboard after we left and they have followed us so far as here," said the Stewart with a grin I.ewlstonJnurnnl. Various Leathers ' The most Important kinds of leather are: chrome, cordovan and patent. Chrome leather Is tanned by the aid of chromium salts. Tpsts made by the government during the World war proved It to be the most durable for shoes. Cordovan or Spanish leather Is a soft, fine grained product that takes a high polish. It derives Its name from Cordova, Spain where it was orig inally manufactured. At one clme It was made from goatskins only, but row It Is made from plssklns nnd horsehldes as well. Patent leather was first manufactured at Newark, Del., in 1810 by Seth Boy den, Inventor. Pathfinder Magazine. n'l!?ns That Are fuzzle to Scientists vj'.is have weighed the plan I'ii sun, and the moon; we know i' distance of stars whose light -ikes eenturies to reach us, and we ran even measure accurately the minute amount of heat given by dis tant stars. For all that, the sky is still full of puzzles which astron omers are attempting to solve. Take, for Instance, the problem of dark stars. Possibly it has never occurred to you that there are such bodies, yet for every bright star you can see on a clear night there must be thousands which have gone cold ahd are therefore Invisible Yet, dead as they are, they are still plunging through space at appalling speed. On February 2, 1001, there blazed out in the constellation of Perseus a star ov amazing brilliance. It was not, of course, a new star. What had really happened was that one of these dark sturs had eltfier lilt another, or, perhaps, struck one of the big gas clouds which hang In space. The result was an ex plosion on a scale we cannot even Imagine. These dark stars and gas clouds are among the greatest of sky puz zles. It Is only three years ago that a Dutch scientist discovered a mystery cloud 1 40,000,000,000.000 miles In length and twice that dis tance from the solar system. It may be gas, It may be dust. We do not know and probably we never shall. Odd Harvest Customs Observed in England In speaking of harvest, It must be remembered that "wheat" is called "corn" In England. Some times the prettiest girl of the vil lage was allowed to cut the final handful of corn. This was then tied up and trimmed to represent n doll, and was called the "Corn Bahy." It was brought home In triumph, nnd sot up In a consplcu- Wins Trip to Europe AV'tv r W? : ;A"TOCASTF David Wilson, 15 years old, of Lincoln H. S., Portland, Ore., is the winner of the League of Na tions essay contest, in which 459ii contestants were entered He '-'-" ' ous place "at supper, and often kept in the farmer's parlor for the rest qt the year. In other parts of the country the doll was supposed to be a representation of Ceres, the goddess of fertility. In Hertford shire the final handful was called a "Mare," and the reapers would throw their sickles at It, crying: "I have her, I have her I" "What have you?" the others would say. "A mare! A mare!" was the an-, swer. This custom, called "Crying the Mare," refers to the time when the corn, being grown in open spaces, wag often trampled down and spoiled by wild mares. In Dev onshire the last handful was called the Nack, and the "crying" consist ed of one word Arnack. This was supposed to signify "our nag," and hence owes its origin to the same Idea as "Crying the Mare." Norse Gave Name to Ship The word "smack" In flshlriE mack Is of Norse origin. The Danes and Norwegians called their vessels "chekka" or shake. These were long, lean galleys, and the resemblance was further suggested by the dragon's or snake's head which often formed their figure-head. Later on In history, when the Dutch became the great seafaring people, the word passed into their language, slightly altered '(to suit their tongue) to "smak." The Dutch boat was of different build, being fat and broad-beamed. We In turn took the word from the Dutch, and turned it into our own smack, us ing it at first for the small sailing cutter which used to act as a sort of passenger tender for sea-going ships. Now, when steam is almost universal, we confine the word al most entirely to the fair-sized open sea fishing boat which works by sail. Curiosity and Fire If you were to get a letter in the mall with one corner of the en velope burned off. wouldn't It arouse your curiosity? One day not long ago about 4,000 people In a certain community all got letters which came In envelopes that bore marks of fire. The lower left-hand corner on each had been burned away. This unusual .little thing attracted much attention. A mer chant about to send out circular let ters to the 4,000 people on his mail ing list wanted to be sure of get ting people to notice the letter. Scorching the envelope did the trick. "It Is our belief thnt on all the circulars we have ever mailed we hava never had anywhere near so large a percentage of them read," states the dealer In discussing the outcome of the experiment. Good Hardware. Another Receiver The woman who stood before the window In the bank was beginning to get a little restless. She had been standing In front of the recelv ing teller for a quarter of an hour and he seemed to be quite unaware of her presence at any rate he took no notice of her. At last she became too Irritated to keep quiet another moment. "Why don't you pay attention to me 7" "I'm sorry, ma'am, we don't pay anything here," was the short but polite reply. "Next window, please." Your Ration of Oxygen Nitrogen does not support life, but oxygen Is the greatest Ilfe-sup- portlng power on earth.

In 1820 the first American typewriter, cnlled a typog rapher, was patented by W A Burt, tn 1844 and 1846 typewrit ing machines were Invented in Eng land, which, like many of the early machines, were designed primarily for the use of the blind and so pro duced embossed characters. About 1867 Charles Latham Sholes began to experiment on the construction of a typewriter, and from this the Remington had Its origin. The first crude model was completed In 1868. Early Form of Tanning The oldest form of satisfactory tanning was effected by massaging oil into the hide after the pores had been opened by repeated washings. To the Hebrews we are Indebted for the introduction of the use of oak bark as tannin. With the rise of the European guild system the leather industry offered various op portunities for organizations, among which were the saddlers, cobblers and tanners. For a time these organizations became Influen tial socially and politically. Early Days of Boxing . In the early days of boxing there was no time limit to the length of a round, which might last for one sec ond or one hour. It ended only with a knock-down, and not more than thirty seconds was allowed for rest and recovery. The knockout blow had not then been Invented. Con sequently, contests were likely to be prolonged fur beyond what Is the case nowadays, when championship battles that are counted In terms of seconds are by no means uncommon.
