The subject of mixed bathing has worried many scaside authorities, and there are different regulations in force at nearly every resort. 'At Margate, Yarmouth, and Scarborough, for in- stance, mixed bathing is allowed with- out any restrictions. At Morecambe Bay the sexes must be at least sixty yards apart. Don't take a white bathing costume | with you w Morecambe Bay, as the have taken exception to no intention shell fish. So carefully measure 100s slers must measure ad to tail when Many people imagine that anyone can bathe from the beach, but this the case at some resorts, where parts of the shore are private. At jroadstairs a portion of the foreshore is private property, and the bather is liable to prosecution. The Ramsgate authorities object to and only allow a limited number of these gentry Ww patrol the beach. Why this should be so nobody knows, as fruit-sellers and icecream vendors are very much in demand during the hot weather, and holiday-makers seldom care abouw wglking into the town to quench their thirst Hawkers may hawk, and vendors may vend, at Morecambe Bay, but for. tune-tellers must not tell fortunes-- say those in authority. At some sea- side resorts no hawkers at all are al- lowed. At Yarmouth the beach is stly occupied by seliers of' sea- shells, and only a few hawkers are to be found 7 A curious regulation came into force at Scarborough svine years ago, when the question of running trains on Sun- days was raised. After a good deal of dis¢ussion, the authorities decided to run Sunday trams, but at the same time introduced a bylaw to ferbid the drivers ringing their bells when pass. ing places of worship. Cyclists should therefore refrain trom sounding their bells when passing churches in Sear- borough, 'or they may render them- selves liable to prosecution But English bylaws, although rath- er quaint, have been totally eclipsed by one introduced in America some years ago. At Ashly Park, New Jer- a popular American watering- place, spooning is strictly prohibited! Sweethearts may not patrol the pro- and lovers may not embrace on the beach. It is also illegal for a girl to sit with her sweetheart's head on her lap--a very favorite occupation of Eunghsh maidens. Imagine the consternation the introduction of such a bylaw ai Scuthend or Clacton would bring about! Evidently English holi- day-makers have still a great deal to be thankful for.--Answers, Aunt Julia. Burne-Jones, the artist, used to tell a story litile boy who on one vecasion asked ™ be allowed to go two bed at the children's tea time, a ciry cumstance so unique as to puzzle the domestic authorities. The mother re- fused, but hiid whimpered and pUrsevers succeeded. The father was presently in his study at the bac of the house looking out on the gar- den, when saw the child in his little nightshirt come secretly down the steps and steal to a corner of the garden behind some shrubs. He had a garden fork in his hand. After a lapse of some mivutes he came out again and stole quietly upstairs. The father's investigations revealed some freshly turned scarth. Some few inches down was a closed envelope which the child had buried. On opent ing it he found a lucifer match and a slip of paper, on which was written in pe 'neil, in. a sprawling hand "Dear -Devii: Please take Aunt Julia." wi h ne away Ben Titleit's Trousers.

As compared with woman in similar walks of life in London, she is a per- fect lady. slender aristocratie she Sunshine and Character. "Sunshine," says an English physi- cian, "has an enormous influence up- on character. As is generally known, the great difference in temperament between the Spaniard and the Swede is almost entirely due to the influ- ence of the sun. "Northern races--and the people of Great Britain are, of course, included among them--enjoy very little sun on the whole. They are more used to leaden skies and dull, rainy weather. In the far north they are subjected to rigorous cold for months on end. Such weather conditions produce in the long run men and women of a hardy, stubborn, self-contained type. They are somewhat melancholy, it may be, but cool-headed, calculating, and business-like. Countries with little sunshine produce the thinkers and the fighters. 1 might even say that' they breed the highest type of man to be found in the world. "Now we come to the countries which are floodéd with warm, golden sunshine almost all the year round. It may seem a curious thing to sug- gest, but is the sun really a helpful, progressive influence upon humanity? I do not think so--from the cold- blooded northerner's point of view. But continuous hot sunshine makes! for poetry of living, joyousness, gal lantry. It produces the passionate, warm-hearted, quick-tempered type of man and woman." African Folk Lore. Major A. J. N. Treadearne of the British army, has spent some years in Northern Nigeria, and has collected a wonderful stock of the folk-lore of the Hausas. These people attach tales, or proverbs, or special peculiarities to every well-known animal, gs well as to the members of every trade or pro- fession. Many of these he described to-day. Thus the spider is considered to be king of cunning, but the dog is rather a fool. If a Hausa is caught telling lies he can always excuse him- self by saying that the story was told in the mame of the "insect king." Then there is a strange magic in| names; to mention a name may bring trouble on its possessor. Thus a first child is never known except by its nickname, and wives are careful never to mention the names of their hus- bands. Moreover, there is a likeli: hood of trouble coming to a child, especially a first child, if the father should ever see it being nursed by the mother. Where Priests Are Beggars. Perhaps it would interest the peo ple at home to know how the Bud- dhist priest of Burmah get their daily bread very morning after sunrise they go out in batches in Indian file, preced- ed by a native boy with a bell, which hw rings at intervals. .This warns the Prople of their approach, and it is wonderful to see with what reverence the people regard these priests. Immediately the bell rings a Bar- mese woman runs out with her offer ing of rice, bananas, eggs, or the best that her house can provide, No words of greeting are exchanged. The offerings are made and received in slence The Buddhist priests may not re- ceive money. This is why they have to beg for their daily bread. An Old Drought Cure. An old time specific for drought was simple enough. It was only ne. cessary to burn fern. An interesting | reference to this belief occurs in a manuscript letter preserved in the Pococke colleetion'in the British my seum. It is dated Aug. 1, 1636. It runs: "To My Very Loving Friend. the High Sheriff of the County of Stal. ford--8r,.: His majesty, having taken notice of an opinion entertained in Staffordshire that the burning ol fern doth draw down rain and being de- girous that the country and himsel' may enjoy fair weather as long as he remains in those parts, hath eom- manded me to write unto you to cause all burning of fern to be forborne." --Londor Spectator.

New Chapter of Canadian History In Archives' Report. A pew chapter in Canadian history has been giver n by the Ontario Gov- ernment in the report of the Bureau of Archives, jus st issued by Alexander Fraser, the Provincial Archivist. The yolume is the record of an enquiry into the location and history of the villages of the Huron Indians. These were nearly all in wha$ is now the County of Simece. For the first time bheir location, which has begn a sub- ect of controversy, has been" definite- AVen. rhe provines is indebted to Rev. A. E. Jones, BJ., archivist of Bt Mary's College, Montreal, 'for the in formation given in the bulky volume. The report is a veritable mine of information and is the result of five years 'work of Rev, Father Jones in tollaboration with Mr. Fraser. All the works extant have been drawn apon. Not only have the "Jesuit Re lations" that had been published been guoted, but much of them is given that has never been published until now. Correspondence of the Je- suit and Recollet missionaries now in the possession of their descendants n France and Switzerland has also een secured. Father Jones is not only the archiv- {st of St. Mary's College, but has charge of the Jesuit records of both the North and South American continents. He has Rone over the most of North Simcoe, and by actual cal- culation, having Be dil e to the To: cords, has definitely located the rt fous villages. His maps are in the report, as well as nine o water color sketches of Father Martin! tnade in 1855. : A chronological and biographical re- cord of the missionaries and mission centres yéar by year from 1615 to 1650 is given. i Letters and records of the period, both in the possession of Father Jones and Mr. Fraser, now see daylight for the first time. For over forty years Father Jones has been collecting and) studying these old records and is re. garded as one of the leading aborigin- alists on the continent. He has ap- plied the term Huronia to this depart- ment of research, and it is now the accepted term on the continent.
