When did “kissing the Book” come to be recognized as a part of the English oath? “Master “illiarn Thorpe,” :3. priest, who was tried for heresy before the Archbishop of Can- terbury in 1407, has, in an account of his own trial. related a conversation between a "Man of Law” and a “Mas- ter of Divinity” on the subject of oaths. The man of law poke of 2; Witness merely laying his hand on the Book, whereupon the Master of Divinity said: “He that char geth him to lay his lzand thus upon the Beak, touching it and swearing by it, and kyssing it, promising in this form to do this thing, will say and witness that he that toucheth thus a books .11: .:l kisseth it had sworn upon that book." So the praétice is at least five laun- dred years old. “Kissing the Book” must have been a familiar practice in Shakespeare’s day. for in “The Tempest” there is more than one jocu- lar reference to it. “Swear by this bottle how thou camest lzith says Stephano to Trinculo. “Here, kiss the book,” offering him his bottle of ::;;Z: There is '1 0 legal 3root that the practice was v.ell known in the. in crop rotations, the increase in its production is likely to only correspond to the slow improvement effected in native methods of farming. “There remains Australia.

Spirits’ Advice to a Lover A Birmingham lady, Jessie Evelyn Charlton, was awarded damages for breach of promise against Albert Thomas Taylor, of Edgbaston. She said that at Christams, 1913, Taylor began the study of spiritualism, palm- istry, and phrenology, and she noticed a change in his conduct. ”The spirits, said, had told him he must not marry The homelier a man the wire trusts him. The news of the death of the Earl of Mexborough at Florence revived interest in a remarkable personality and family long noted for its curiously mixed marriages. The Earl, who was in his 73rd year, was many years ago converted to Buddhism, 3 step which caused no little surprise, following as it did the conversion to the Eastern faith of Lord Headley. The Earl, whose step-mother was a Jewess, who became a Roman Catholic, was mar- ried three times. His second wife was a. Roman Catholic, his third wife was a Protestant, and his successor, the Hon. John Henry Savile, his half- brother, is a Roman Catholic, who married the Hon. Margaret Knatch-- bull-Hugessen, a Protestant. Curiously Mixed Marriages in Earl of Mexborough Family the ever-increasing requirements of the paper-making industry. To secure minimum shipping charges it is essential that shipments be made in car lots, as the less than car lot rate is much higher. Usually the paper must be shipped to considerable dis- tances to the mill or dealer and ad- joining municipalities might, if neces- sary, co-operate in making up car lots. Apart from the monetary return for saving this wasted material, there is the further incentive of assisting to reduce the demand upon the forests of Canada to supply new material for low vaiuc, and collecting and ship- ping charges reduce very materially the final returns from same.

For shipping, the paper should be put into bales, for which a baling press is necessary. There are many types of press on the market, several at moderate prices. Co-operation Very Members of well known West End f clubs, and particularly those of a B0- .hemian character, have been the re- cipients of "private and confidential” communications from an evidently educated tout in the nieghborhood of Mayfair who has been offering, under the pledge of secrecy, to receive novi- tiates in his “eleoantly furnished flat" and to supply them, “amidst luxurious surroundings," with “the fascinations of the East in the form of opium smok- ing.” His tees are heavyâ€"$15 to $25 being calmly quoted, with reductions for a “series.” Women, too. are approached in other 'srays, and it is asserted that a well known actress was only rescued, just in time, from the insidious hold which 1 this vile drug has upon the weak-i minded. Private rooms in West End hotels have. it is said, been rented for no other purpose than an opium de-l bauch. and rumor says that all crevices and openings are plugged and a Chinaman from Limehouse “smuggled" in to prepare the pipes. up visions of the East and of the ‘extraordinary dreams that the dis- » ciples of ‘the drug are said to enjoy. 'It is in the East (of London) and is found in the fact that from the Antipodes comes the request of the Commonwealth Government of Ans-l tralia to the police authorities in the hofie country to endeavor to prevent the smuggling of opium into their land. It is asserted that large quantities of 3 the drug have reached Australianj ports, bundles of it being hidden byi coolies in the coal.

Aviators as Fire Rangers In Wisconsin the forest service established an aeroplane patrol. The State expert reports: The etficiency of an aeroplane in spotting forest fires is without doubt as practicable as any use to which it could be put. I my- self was very much surprised with what ease a fire could be spotted and located, and there is no question in my mind but what the aeroplane will practically do away with some ob- servation towers.

Winnipeg. “The adults are being killed off in the war, and we must conserve the child. ren. The school trustees must see that the schools are sanitary, and it is up to the women, especially in rural districts, to see that the trustees toe the mark." {Ranchers Give Interesting Views Re- I garding Livestock industry Before the Saskatchewan livestock ,commission in Calgary the ranchers ' and commission men were very unani- Emous in their opinions along certain lines. They were all opposed to the present system of insurance of one- half of one per cent. to protect buyers from loss from disease and condemned stock. It developed that in Calgary this charge is not levied on stocker cattle as it is in Winnipeg. They were all agreed that more elastic credit for the livestock industry was essential but were all opposed to any form of cattle loan company that had the packers as the source of the money to be loaned. While all were not en- thusiastic about it, all were more or less willing to see an attempt made by either federal or provincial govern- ments to control and supervise the livestock industry on somewhat simi- lar lines to the present control of the grain trade. All were unalter- ably opposed to the present charge of 75 cents per car for cleaning and dis- infection of stock cars. It was gener- i ally characterized as little short of iniquitous. 11011110111 t‘1i~ p:11'1 .‘vL.'I1° 1‘11: 18.
