CHURCH ALES. As Old En»ll«h Coitom That Waa Supprrned In 1603. From almost the earliest times in Euglsod '•church ales" were often given In a building adjoining any church, where were a hearth of good compass • and a stout oaken table upon which j the "ale" and viands were set forth. ' The founder of the feast gave his best brew and was content to receive money in exchange, the spirit animating these quasi religious symposia being akin to that which obtains at the modern charity bazaar—that is to say, all I who attended were prepared to pay liberally or even dearly for their fare. Thus the man who had lost his money and was "down on his luck" would give a "bld (begging! ale" that, if he 1 was popular, might suffice to set him on his feet again. The more romantic “bride ale" assisted penurious young couples into housekeeping, while a prosaic "Whitsun ale" was furnished by I churchwardens, who used to raise money for the p . t. for church repairs or other pressing cause, the malt previously presented to them and stored In the ti'.l.e bams. Dancing was indulged in at such “church ales." and if the season were prepit: -:s an adjournment might lie made ' > an adjacent meadow, where archery, quintain and other diversions would < s Rut excesses became more ■ ■’. > >re frequent, so that in I I»V<3 "cbureb ales" were summarily suppressed. The Jmenile Jap.ine»e, There re children in Japan. They are dign ■' ’ < ;ues on the grownups. T':-- . ' • -s of the family take care of th ' • s by having them strapped t tl-.r backs. Nearly every maid ■ f five r s:x 'as a baby tied to I her •k. nd perhaps that accounts I for • nd tottering gait of the Jar:: -• woman. Though one I never hears a Jap baby cry. if one be- ■ gins to make a mouth and wrinkle up Its funny little face, its child mother j quiets it by raising her body on her | toes rd t - - fast as she can. and 1 placidity r- g:in short order. A man I would feel like a fool quoting “Motl er j Goos. " to a •’ ;• anese child or trying I to amuse it as • ne does our children. ; As for c! ■, !:-'-g on? under the chin, i that’s unthink.. Ic. Blind Boys’ Football. Foot! all -f.i many ether outdoor games re pl ved by the blind, certain i changes being made so that in each game the seuse of b •. ring t.,i. s the place of sight. In football. for instance. a tiny bell is fastened to th" . ball, and by the bell's tinkle the ball’s I location is determined. The blind delight in races of all sort- They do not run t- ward a tape, as th? seeing do. but tvw-rd a bell that Jangles briskly It is odd to see the blind at their I games. They play gravely and they maintain a profound silence, for if they made a noise the voices of their guiding bells could not be heard. An Inhuman Wretch. “I never saw such beautiful teeth and magnificent ey. s as that girl has." said the young man who raves “Indeed?" answered the cold blooded per- n. “Didn’t you notice them?" “Cert.:inly not.
