OLD’ CURSE AT WORK STILL Death of English Officer In France Re- : calls Malediction Prorounced : _ penturlu Ago. ; 4

i The death by a German bullet of :Hon. Francis Geoffrey Pearson, Lord ‘Cowdray’s third son has recalled in }Engmnd the violent end of other heirs ito Cowdray, the historic mansion near {Midhurst, and of the .curse that was {pronounced in 1538, when Sir Ar sthur Browne, father of the first Lord iMontagu, received Battle abbey as a {gift from Henry 111 ! ! i Sir Arthur destroyed the great }church at Battle and the cloisters, and converted the abbot’s lodging into g ld_welling house. While he was holding ja feast in the great hall one of the /dispossessed monks entered and sol; lemnly cursed the family, declaring thaq ithe Montagu line should “perish by fire and water.” It was not till 1793, itwo centuries later, that the curse was ifulfilled. In that year Cowdray house iwas destroyed by fire, and a week later the last Viscount Montagu was .drowned in the Rhine, b ; After the death of the last Lord Montagu the Cowdray property came Jinto the possession of the viscount's sister, Mrs. Stephen Poyntz, who soon :after receiving the estate lost her two #sons by drowning at Bagnor. On the fdeath of Mrs. Poyntz the property was divided between her three daughters, ibut was sold to the earl of Edgmont dn 1843.. In 1909 it came into the thands of Sir Weetman Pearson, and when Sir Weetman, on being made a peer in 1910, chose the title of Lord '[Cowdra.y, an old Sussex woman spoke iof the curse, which, says a London let;'ter, is still remembered among the ‘Midhurst people. :

PLAN LONG BRIDGE OVER SEA British Engineers Contemplate Pro. ¢ Ject Successfully Carried e - Through in America. . ' The project of connecting the island of Ceylon with the mainland of India by a railroad bridge has been revived again, though, like all such projects, it must wait till after the end of the ‘war. The distance is 22 miles, nuqmerous rocky islets furnish natural halting places, and the intervening was ter is said to be shallow enough to tmake pier-building easy for modern engineers. . .

. EHven if this bridge is built, it wil] mot be the longest structure of the sort in the world. The Florida East Coast railway goes out to sea 46 miles, from the tip of the Florida, DPeninsula to Key West. At one point, At crosses nine miles of open water, and passengers on its trains are ouf of sight of land. The whole remarks able structure is of re-enforced comy crete, calculated to last for ages. -

- The engineers of British India will have a hard job to beat the precedent, set by the American builders whom [Henry M. Flagler set at work. It iwlll be interest’to see them try. :

An Important Decision.

- An important decision affecting the ‘banking law was made by the appel%te division of the supreme court in Wulff vs. Roseville’ Trust company, in, which the court vacates an attachment in this state against tiie property of a financial institution in New Jersey which has been closed by~ the ‘commissioner of banking and insurgance. The court held that New Jerkey law relating to the closing of a bank by the commissioner is similar to the provisions of the New York banking law and that the commissioner “ls deemed to have become vested, with the title to the assets of said inBtitution as the trustee of an express trust.” The court says that “in such A case no creditor is permitted to obtain a preference over others or to obtain a llen upon the property-of the, banking institution after the commisploner has taken charge thereof.”

: Sneezing as a Diagnosis. g A sneeze is responsible for the discovery by City Clerk Newton that he had three broken ribs and a dislocated, ghoulder, says a Hanford (Cal.) dispatch to the Los Angeles Times. Several days ago Newton and a number of friends were returning from an automobile ride when the machine turned over. He was slightly injured, but. thought nothing of it. - Later he sneezed vigorously and. the pain increased; he sneezed again and then hastened to see a doctor., The physician, after an examination, informed him that he had three broken ribs and a shoulder out of joint. Since then Newton has been too 1l to work. His friends are now wondering whether he would have felt the inJuries if he had not sneezed ,twice. .

“Qur Friends the Enemy.” : A zealous bobby captured a workingman and haled him into court on the charge of being an unregistered German. The man swore he had a Russian birth certificate, and produced it. Then said the magistrate gseverely: , ' &

“But why then have you for ten years been masquerading as a German?” : :

“Because,” answered the man apologetically, “when I came to England ten years ago the feeling against Russia was so strong that I was obliged fo pass myself off for a German.” — Molly Best in Harper's Weekly.

’ Rapid Changing. j ' “Well,” said the janitor of the eity hall in Dixmude, as he shoved another bomb off the bed coverlets preparatory to rising, “well, I wonder which flag Tl'll have to put up over the building ltodg?!”—Detro}t Hows - o : Bitten By a Snake. - Mrs. William MeCaffery of Hartford City was bitten on the anklke by a snake when the reptile struck at her.i from a flower bed.! Physicians do not believe the wound will be serious.. * Now is the time to pay your sube scription to the Banmer. @

'SAVED TRAIN BY SAFETY PIN 'New-Fangled Gown Caused somm of a Confusion at New York

One of those new-fangled trains be, came unswitched at a recent dance at the Claridge,according to the New York ‘Times, and when the owner discovered her loss she and the man at the hote] desk had a lot of trouble. It seemsg that the new train is made so that i{ can be worn or not worn, just as thq owner of the freak to which it belongy. fancies. When her friends expressed their admiration of Mrs. Camille Roe'§ new frock, all went merry as a man riage bell until one 6f these friend§ begagme so enthusjastic over the way ‘Mrs. Roe managed her new train thay the latter drew out of the dance tq‘ explain. ) .

“You see, it is like this,” she began, catching at her skirt. She caught i vain. ‘There was nothing but the skirt; The train had left the station. After & hurried search about the room, Mrs; Roe went out to see if the train had arrived at the desk.

“I've lost my train,” she announced, somewhat breathlessly. : The clerk immediately got out his train guide. He thought she was a commuter who had overstayed her time limit in town, and that shq wished to catch a later train. / “New Haven or New York Central, ma’am?” he inguired, sympatheticaliy, as b® hurriedly turned over the leaves.

The lady explained. The clerk rummaged among the things under the counter. “Nothing like a train here, ma’am,” he reported. “The only thing we have is a girdle that the assistant manager picked up and turned in here a little while ago.” He held it up. It was the-train Mrs. Roe had missed. Pretty soon it was flying through a one-step, ril: its ordinary couplings had been ré-enforced with small safety pins. . ;

RISKS OF RED CROSS. WORK

Doctors Who Operate on the Field Under Fire Require Nerves ‘ That Are Steady. ;

' In the fighting area Red Cross works ers are running greater risks than they have ever done in past campaigns. Those who succor the wounded ‘do not now wait until the end of a battle before they commence their’ humane work, neither do they remain in safety some distance at the rear. The nums bers of the wounded in modern battla are too great for that, and assistance must be given to them on the battlefield itself, with shot and shell whis, tling ‘around. Surgeons now make their way along the trenches under heavy fire, carrying small surgical cases which contain a number of ab-

solutely necessary medicines. These include pain-killing drugs, such as morphine, antiseptics and syringes. On the wounded soldier himself a first-aid outfit can be found, as every military man carries in his knapsack a little packet of antiseptic gauze and 'a roll of bandages. The surgeon makes his patient as comfortable as possible and, if he can, drags him to a point where the bursting shells are not likely to injure him. Then, on his hands and knees; the plucky worker makes hisg way along the rows of dead and' wounded, taking as many, if not more, risks than the “Tommies” themselves.

Of course, working under such trying conditions the surgeon cannot do all he would wish for the wounded. By means of injections from his hypodermic syringe he temporarily alleviates -their pain, and in serious cases stops bleeding by tightly knotted bandages ' placed round the injured limb, while broken bones he puts in a “splint,” provided, in many instanoes, by the stricken soldier’s, bayonet.

An Institute of Agriculture.

More scientific farming resulting in lower food Yprices in cities is the avowed object of the free institute of ‘agriculture which has been in ' progress in New York city throughout 20 weeks of the present year. The institution depends upon co-operation between the natiopal department of agriculture, Columbia university and the New York state department of ‘agriculture. It is intended that per‘sons who intend to go into farming shall be better prepared for this purpose, while those who are not fitted ‘for that occupation may be deterred from attempting it. It is also the hope that abandoned farms near the city may be subjected to proper development. : .

Saving the Babies.

i A recent mayor of Huddersfield offered one pound to every mother who brought to him.a year-old baby of a certain weight, and the result -was .that a great many babies which used .to die did not die. The babies at the ‘end of the year not only came. up ‘alive but they came up to weight. In ;commenting on this fact, Bernard ‘Shaw sald Mr. Broadbent knew that a ‘pound extra in a baby at a certain age iwas ‘an_ enormous municipal profit.— 1 The Living Church. ; -

i In Your Own Home Town. . Your. preacher talks to you about -the sin i{n the great cities and -your ‘heart is' heavy with sorrow at the :thought of wrong‘_a,l;gf_‘ suffering. You may feel called upon to spend your time and money preparing baskets and barrels of Christmas goodies to be sent to some of thé miserable, with whom, thank goodness, you do mnot have to come in contact. But please don’t forget that there’s a devil in your own home town.—Kansas Indus. el 5 ‘The Sparrows Fell. - Considerable damage was done in Whitley county by the storm last Wednesday. Several trees were blown down and part of a barn fell on P, Mowrey's place. Mr. Lincoln Hasty ‘gathered up one hundred dead spary rows he found on his place. ¢
