On the last day of the last month in the year 1809 a very curious legal battle was fought between the English ‘ecrown and a gentleman, lord of the| manor of Holderness; it was a strug-| for a cask of wine thrown upon | the scashore on the coast of that par- ticular manor, The lord’s balliffs and the customs oflicers both raced to the spot and the contending parties each laid hold of the cask, Then the officers decided to o back to the custom house for further instructions, and during their absence the balliffs removed the cask to the cellar of the hanor house. At the trial the akguments on both sides were very learned and exceed- ingly lengthy. The decision of the ! court was in favor of the lord on lhc‘ grounds that no permit Is required t& remove spirits unless it has pald duty that wine to be liable to duty wmust | he imported; that wine cannot be im- ported by itself, but requires the ageney of someone e to do it; that, therefore, wine wrecked, having come | on shore by itself or without human volition or intention, was not fmport- ed, and was not subject to duty, and did uot require a permit for its re- moval.—Clhicago Journal. Trees Look Like Ostrich Tips. Forestry assoclations in the East have developed the habit of touring the national parks and natlonal for- esis of the West, and are bringing back many interesting feature pictures as well as technleal data. Among the photographs in New York Forestry is the ostrich tree of Monterey, matter of fact it would be s easy and far more correct to trees In this case, for the cele- two trees—coast cypresses, which wind and weather have inter- laced so that their follnge seems al- most one. These California ostrich trees are vanguards of a grove of picturesque; storm-beaten eypresses not so very far from the city of Monterey. All aside from the freak pair, which resemble a huge ostrich, stalking ‘long shore, they would well repay any tree-lov- er's visiting. Salt ‘Monopoly in Ecuador, 7 The production and sale of salt In Ecuador is monopolized by the govern- ment, which enjoys a good profit there- from. Salt Is obtalned from the sa- linas in the provinces of Guayas, Ma- nabi and El Oro. The works consist of blocks of land whose surface has been lowered a few feet, into which sea-awater is permitted to seep. The Air at the Rate of 60,000 Miles a Second.

Burials in “the Abbey.” Westminster Gazette: How many more burinls will there be in West- minster abbey? Within its walls lie the remains of close on three thou- sand people, and so numerous are the monuments and memerials that it is impossible to prevent them jostling ench other without the slightest pre- tentions to artistic arrangement. Both Westminster abbey and St. Pauls’ are excepted from the general prohibition of intramural interments, but the time has almost arrived when, from sheer want of space, no further burials will be possible in the abbey. It has been suggested that a national mau- soleum should be provided by utilizing the old “undcreroft” to the enst of the Great Cloisters, part of which is the Chapel of the Pyx and part of the gyvmnasium of Westminster school. | Though this is outside the abbey itself, it is in the abbey precincts. Old England’s Twelfth Night. Twelfth night is a time-honored fes- tival in England, the chief feature of the evening being the cutting of a cake containing varicus small articles of spe meaning. The incompar- able Pepys rarely falls to. make spe- clal reference to the date in his diary. He has been to see “Twelfth Night” and finds it “but a silly play, not re- lating at all to the name or day.” At another time his wife and her com- pany stay up all night to celebrfite, but he merely choosgs his plece of cake and goes.to bed. Again he at- tends a great dinner on tweifth night, and as his piece of the cake contains a clove, “the mark of the knave,” he slyly manages to stuff it inta the slice taken by another man. A year or so later he celebrates the date with a simply gomgeous time at his own house, his guests staying all day apd until midnight. He says: “In the evening I did bring out my cake—a noble cake—and there “cut, it into | pieces with wine and g(md drink.”| And so we were mighty merry llll it was midnight; and, being moon- | shine and a fine frost, they went home, | help_to carry them.” \ water Is slowly evaporated by the ! sun, precipitating crystals and thus forming a considerable layer of salt, which is broken Into pleces for dis- tribution.

The story runs that in an early day & Frenchman named Abar was ascending the Missourl river in a Canadlan boat. Just below the present site of the town of Wellington he came to the mouth of a little river or creek. “See now, my children; here we have a sni, placed by the good God for our backs’ relief,” he sald, “A little breathing space; a quict time, a resting from the rlver. Abh, tho dear snil” Sni is French for slough. Abar f:m- cied he had struck a quiet loop of backwater which would lead him again to the river in a mile or two. Rut in a mile it became apparent that it was no slough, but a small stream. And 80 the boat was turned and poled back to the Missouri. From this circum- stance the creek was called Sni-a-Bar, from the word “sni” and the name of | the Frenchman, Abar, | gardsd as Inseparable From the | Period of Courtship. ito start in a flower message as any “mher_\my. the lovelorn swain indi- | cating his passion by tossing a pale !ject of his regard is carried by him.
