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.

"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.

words ever spoken good-by.

something sadder than that. You

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-

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."

Earliest Typewriters
The first typewriter of which
there Is any record was patented In
England in 1714. 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.
