The St. Mang Cloister, in Fussen, now houses a museum and government ofâ€" flces. "Then came the year 1803, when the King of Bavaria and his Minister, Count Montgelas, decreed the dissoluâ€" tion of the cloisters, conficated their lands, sold thoir valuable treasures And ‘pensioned‘ off monks and nuas with 1 gulden a day. Since that date many of theso splendid buildings reâ€" mained unoccupied and fell into decay or were used for secular purposes unâ€" til thirty years later thew were re stored to the various orders. _ But many a cloister had already been sold to private persons, many an art treaâ€" gure had found its way to a museum Oor library, so that many cloisters posâ€" sossed only the fame of their past and had to begin anew, "Southern Bavaria is especially rich in these wonderful buildings, whose history often reaches back to the eighth or ninth century. Remains of ancient cloisters from the earliest days ot the advont of Christianity to this part of the country are proserved in the walls of many of these old edifices.

Laboratory experiments have shown that frozen pork can be exported from Australia and New Zealand and manuâ€" factured into bacon in this country. This discovery has already achioved results, and the report states that a considerable number of frozen carâ€" cases are now being used in this counâ€" try for conversion into bacon. Search for microâ€"organisms which can flourish in cold storage has led to the discovery of a particular organism which amits a strong musty odor capâ€" able of tainting foodstuffs, particularâ€" ly fat and eggs, at a considerable disâ€" tance. The Board‘s report is interesting in showing the vast amount of work done in examining food supplies from all parts of the world. __It is gratifying to note that, of all theâ€" types of apples examined by the Board, the English Bramloy‘s Seedâ€" ling has the highest Vitamin C conâ€" tent, while, at the same time, it loses only a small proportion during storâ€" age. Since, however, the Bramley‘s Seedling is a cooking apple, and cookâ€" ing apples aro, as a rule, peeled as the first stage inâ€"their preparation for the tabls, it would seem that much of their vitamin valuo is destroyed at the outset. _ 70â€" CumCe is UOSLEOY@d by pecling, it is stated in the report for 1920 of the Food Investigation Board of the Deâ€" partment of Industrial and Scientific Research, just fssued.

May woe remember the Swiss Guide‘s prayer: The 1st Gayaza Company in Uganda. The Guides here wear whito tunics and no hats or shoes. They are nimâ€" ble with their fingers, weaving mats and baskets, and are quick toypick up the rhythm of a country dance.

In the home, Dr. HMallingsworth stated, the situation is sometimes very embarrassing to the parent of the preâ€" cocious offspring.

The opportunity for philos ophy under the starry sky must be unique. A night watchman (relates Mrs. Hughes) has just been sued for the return of two books borrowed from a public library â€" Rinstein‘s "Rela tivity" and Bloxham‘s "Chemistry." "Before I could demand my packet of candlos," she says, "the harassed woman looked up at me and said: ‘Oh, do tell me what I can have for dinner! I have had steak and haddock so often that my husband is getting unpleasant about it‘." The friendly spirit shown by Lom don shopkecpers is proverbial Not long ago Mrs. Hughes went into a 1#» tle grocer‘s shop. No behavior in London, warns Mre. Hughes, is viler than to look over your neighbor‘s paper, except to hold your own paper so that your neighbor can‘t see it. Park Lane, London, has always stood for the quintessence of aristoc racy and exclusiveness, and there is a joke (chuckles Mrs, Hughes) about a red socialist knocking at one of the houses and shouting to the footman: "The revolution is here!" only to be met with a chilling reply: "All revoluâ€" tions must be delivered at the trades men‘s entrance." A fow years ago when Big Benâ€" London‘s famous clockâ€"was wound up by hand, the job of winding occupied the full working day of two men, says Mrs. M. V. Hughes (in her delightful book "London At Home.") Big Ben, by the way, is notâ€"the clock but the big bell that does the striking. The name Bon is form Sir Benjamin Halil, who was Commissioner of Works when the clock was put up.

In one of the scenes, the tenor had to throw Calve, as Santuzza, violently to the floor. The sonsitive Princess burst into tears. "I don‘t want him.to hurt the lady," she wailed in such a loud voice that every one turned and looked at her. "As I came off the stage," recalls Calve, in her rominiscences, "I heard the future Queen being thoroughly scolded by her governess." Only a short time ago, Calve met the Queen of Spain (now Duchess of Toledo). Herbert Spencer, the philosopher, deemed it his duty to combat on the instant every erroncous statement, false reasoning or foolish opinion ; and this led to frequent homilies, says James HMoward Bridge, Spencer‘s priâ€" vate secretary for five years. "At his boardingâ€"house, where I sometimes lunched with him," relates Mr. Bridge (in "Millionairos and Grub Street") "corrective or expostulatory explosions came from him as regularly as the dessert followed the roast.
