The Wreckers of Seilly, Ag fur back as the time of Henry I. there were royal grants of “the islands and their wrecks,” and frequent was the phrase in centuries following. With toyal encouragement, why should they not be wreckers? One Sunday, long ago, in Secilly, service was in progress when there came the cry of “Wreck!” The men started from their seats. In n moment there would have been a stampede, but they cowered back as the minister sternly thundered a warn- ing. He strode to the door. Again his voice arose. “Let’s all start fair!” he shouted, throwing off impeding cassock ns he ran, while his congregation la- bored at his heels. Most curious of all wrecks was that of a bark, with a car- go of beads, that went ashore 200 years ago. So generous has been the ocean with this treasure that throughout these two centuries it has intermittent- ly been tossing beads ashore, yet so frugally that the supply is not yet ex- hausted, ‘for in a few minutes’ search I found that some had been thrown there since the last search of the is- landers.—Robert Shackleton in Har- per’s. An 014 Meat BillL The state historian of New York in compiling some records brought to light some amendments to laws confirmed at “ye General Court of assizes held In New Yorke, beginning on ye 5th & end- ing on ye 8th day of October, 1670.” The following catches the eye: “Whereas, divers Complaints have been made of the great abuse of bring- ing dead hoggs & Porke into this city & it not being discernible how long they have been Kill’'d by reason they are too often brought frozen, so not ca- pable of being preserved by Salt which tends much to ye disreputacon of that Commodity when sent abroad, and ye Merchants who Export it into Warmer Climates, for ye reasons aforesaid it is Ordered, That henceforth no hogg or hoggs shall be brought dead to this place either for sale or payment of debts, except it shall be in cask well, Salted & Packt according to ye Law, otherwise smoak’t or dryed of which |} all persons are to take Notice, as they will answer ye contrary at their Per- rills.” History on a Watch Face. Almost the last work of the Belglan astronomer Houzeau was an article in which, while arguing in favor of a dec- imal division of time, he pointed out the origin of the double set of twelve || hours represented on our watch and clock faces. The anclent inhabitants of Mesopotamia chose the number 12 as an arithmetical base because it has four divisors—viz, 2, 3, 4 and 6, while 10 has only two divisors—viz, 2 and 5. They counted twelve hours in the day |] and twelve in the night, measuring the day by the progress of the sun and the |] night by the progress of the stars across the sky. This system, prevail- Ing over ‘all others, has come down to us, and so our watches bear on their faces a souvenir of those ancient days when the sun served for a clock hand half of the time and the stars the other half. . Bankes and His Horse. Animal.trainers of the old days led adventurous lives. In 1600 all London was talking of & man named Bankes, servant to the Earl of Essex, who had || taught his horse to count and perform a number of feats, including mounting to the top of St. Paul's cathedral, while “g number of asses,” as the historian puts it, “brayed below.” Sir Walter Raleigh In his history says of Bankes that he “would have shamed all the enchanters of the world, for whatso- ever was most famous ameng them could never master or Instruct any beast as he did his horse.” When Bankes took his horse to Rome both were burned for witchcraft. A Possible Exception. A high sdhoolteacher was examintng the physiology class. “How many ribs have you, Charles?" he asked. ~“Why —er— I Charles. “Didn’t the text books state?” he then queried somewhat sharply. “Yes—oh, yes—of course, but, you see, I'm long walsted.” don’t know,” said Ben Butler’s Retort.

Housekeepers as a rule do not under- stand why it Is the hot water pipe is the first to freeze In very cold weath- er. They think that It ought to be the other way around—that hot water ought to withstand the low tempera- ture longer than cold water will. That' does seem reasonable, but a little in- vestigation shows us that it is'not. Hot water freezes more quickly than cold water for several reasons. In the first’ place, the boiling of water expels the alr from it, and water will not freeze until it has parted with its air. In the second place, there Is always a slight agltation on the surface of hot water, and this promotes congelation by as- sisting the crystals to change their po- sltion until they assume that most fa- vorable to solidification. Then the: particles in hot water divide into small- er globules by reason of the heat, and: less resistance Is therefore offered to the cold than in cold water. Instinctive Tlety of the Irish Gael. As Dr. Douglas Hyde pointed out, “the Irish Gael is pious by nature. There is not an Irishman in a hundred in whom Is the making of an unbe- liever. God is for him assured, true, intelligible. When he meets a neighbor, instead-of saying ‘Bon jour’ or ‘Good morning’ he says ‘God salute you.’” Indeed, all the ordinary invocations and salutations of the Irish language are governed by this re)igious feeling. “When he takes snuff from' you he ‘will say, ‘The blessing of God be with the souls of your dead.’ If a sudden ‘wonderment surprises him he will cry, ‘A thousand laudations to God,’ and if he be shown a young child or anything else for the first time he will say, ‘Prosperity from God on it ”—London Spectator.
