PAROCHIAL
ALMANACK AND YEAR BOOKFor 1922.
OUR FRONTISPIECE
IVBS a good likeness of MR. JAMHS W. RCSLING, for so manyyears the coadjutor with the late Canon Dowdeswell in pre-paring copy for this local Annual which was so dear to boththeir hearts, and was indeed a labour of love with them.
Many lias been the hour that the late Mr. Rusling willingly spentin extracting some local archaeological gem from the dusty crabbedwriting in which it was set. His collaboration has received fromyear to year high praise from the County papers, recognising thevaluable work so done, in rescuing from oblivion so much of localand historic interest that would otherwise have been lost.
On another page is given an account of his life work in Bushley, anddeath. In February, 1913, on the completion of 50 years' service asOrganist at Bushley Church he was presented with an address, a clock,and a cheque for £15. The wording of the address was : " The Parishionersof Bushley and other friends whose names are entered below, desire tooffer to Mr. James Wise Rusling their hearty congratulations on havingcompleted, on June 22nd, 1912, his fiftieth year as Organist of the ParishChurch, and to present to him—in commemoration of his long and faithfulservices—a testimonial of their high regard for him both as a musician ofgreat talent and as a neighbour and friend."
MOSS GREEN.
The Social Club held weekly at the Moss Green Pavilion has been verysuccessful again during 1921. The season began on October 14th, 1920,and consisted chiefly of dances, which have been well attended by theyoung people of the village and neighbouring friends, and appreciated bythe elder folk too.
On Boxing Day the Club gave great pleasure to the children by givingthem a treat, which it is hoped may become an annual affair.
On Now Year's Eve a long evening was very much enjoyed, and theClub was unanimous in the wish to give the takings to the Parish Nurse,and the President forwarded a cheque to Mrs, Yorke for £3.J
2 BUSHLEY.
Later on Mrs. Lyndon Guilding and others arranged a Whist Drive forthe Tewkesbury Hospital, and a nice sum was sent to the Secretary.
At the end of the season an extra night was arranged by the CricketClub to acquire some funds for next season, which was very successful.
The Club closed at the beginning of May, and re-opened on October13th, since when it has been well patronised.
The Club is managed by a Committee of ladies, who undertake to beresponsible for the weekly meetings. It is satisfactory to note that theClub does not only exist for the purpose of amusing the members, buthelps on good work in the neighbourhood.
On July 24th the Infants' School had a very happy afternoon in theVicarage Garden, with tea and games, and the Upper School followed withtheir treat at the Moss Green, where there was more room for theirexuberant spirits. Finally, the members of the Mothers' Meeting hadtheir party in September.
PAYNE'S PLACE.Amongst the changes that have taken from us so many familiar names
and faces in recent years, we have now to record that of Mr. A. J, Stokes,who has removed and is now living in Tewkesbury. His family have hadtheir home in the fine old half-timbered house known as " Payne's Place,"for a long period. Mr. Atherton Berens has now come into residence here,taking up his abode in the old house in March last, and we heartily wel-come him amongst us.
The house is reputed to have been built about the year 1450, and is agood specimen of the fashion of the houses used by the yeomen of that day.The chief feature in the house was the hall, which was twenty feet squareand was originally open to the roof, and the rafters wore supported by avery handsome arch of oak, which may still be seen in a state of perfectpreservation in one of the bed-rooms, the present bedroom iloor havingbeen inserted in the hall probably a hundred years after the house wasfirst built. Many changes have occurred in its history. The easternwing was pulled down early in the nineteenth century and replaced byordinary brickwork. The overhanging upper story in the remaining wingand the beautiful barge boards in the gable are still extant and show ussomething of what the house was like in olden times.
This house at Bonnet's End " was inhabited from 1450 to 1500 by a Mr.Thomas Payne, and his name has been associated with the house ever since.
The late Canon Dowdeswell, in an early issue of this Almanack, givesa very realistic account of how Queen Margaret, wife of Henry VI., afterher defeat at the Battle of Tewkesbury, in 1471, made her way from thestricken field, on the evening of that sad eventful day, to seek shelterunder the hospitable roof of Master Payne.
In the words of Mr. Dowdeswell's article:—"After the battle, Mar-garet, seeing her gallant son a prisoner, her troops dispersed and slain, allhope gone, commits herself to the care of two poor monks to find her
BUSHLEY. 3
shelter for the night. Their first aim is to put the river between them andthe relentless enemy; there was no bridge then, they must find a ford.Her guides, who belonged to some small religious house in the neighbour-hood, knew well the ford which existed then at the Lower Lode: eachholding a roin of their royal mistress' horse, they boldly enter the riverand safely roach the other side. Here at least they are with friends, forBusliley owned Earl Warwick for its lord. Payne's Place is not far fromthe landing place at the Lode,—the honse at Pulle is two miles further on,the royal fugitive is too weary to ride further that night, and so the goodmerchant, Thomas Payne, comes out, and the good dame, Ursula, his wife,and meet the fallen Queen with all reverence and respect, and entreat herto turn in to their humble house and rest that night; and s.o she did—-atleast so says tradition,—and they prepared for her that pretty room in theeastern wing of the house, on the first floor, no doubt their best room,with its groat window looking out towards the sad battle field, and theglorious old Abbey rising over it, which still is called, in memory of thatnight, ' Tho Queen's Room ; ' and when ahe loft them the next day toseek some surer place of refuge in hop flight, Master Thomas no doubtescorted her 011 hor way, and returned glad to have helped the poor Queenin her distress, but he thought it wise not to tell the victorious King orhis servants where the poor Queen had found shelter on that night. Butalthough the historians never knew it, the fact was handed down throughall these centuries by tradition, and the Queen's Koom is still to be seenin Payne's Place, in which Queen Margaret slept after the disastrous dayat Tewkesbury."
DEATH OF MR. J. W. KUSLING.
NEARLY 60 YEARS SECRETARY OF TUB PULL COURT ESTATB.
far around the village of Bushley the news of the death of.Mr. James Wise Rusling was a subject of deep regret, for itmeant the severing of many old associations. Mr. Rusliug,who [Kissed away on Wednesday morning, January 19th, after.1 long illness, was 79 years of ago. He came to Bushley from
Cleckheaton, Yorkshire, when only nineteen to take charge of ' the^"'>> "Village School, and he remained in the parish all the remainder of^ his long life, honoured and beloved by the children of those who
were his scholars when he first came. He retired from the School-mastership many years ago, and devoted himself to the duties of
Secretary of the Pull Court Estate, a position he held for a very longperiod. Ho was also Organist of the Parish Church for practically thewhole of the time he was connected with the parish. Another work inwhich Mr. Rusling laboured with much love was in connection with thecompilation of the " tfushloy Almanack," in which he assisted for a longperiod. He. was intensely interested in the archaeology of the village anddistrict, and his patient researches into all sorts of matters relating tothem resulted in many an interesting article in the " Almanack.''
4 BUSHLEY.
We recall that at one time he was engaged in this connection, uponthe compilation of what he termed a " directory " of the Pull Court Estate,which extends over the parishes of Bushley, Queenhill, Holdfast, etc., andwhich directory was to date back over several hundred years. Fow menhad greater enthusiasm for such work and more continuity of purpose, andwe imagine that the relationship which lasted so long between the lateRev. E. R. Dowdeswell and Mr. Rusling, when the former was the ownerof the Pull Court Estate and the latter his secretary, must have beenexceptionally cordial^ for they both entered into the spirit of antiquarianresearches of all kinds with a zest which brought to light an immenseamount of interesting matter concerning the district, and often made the"Bushley Almanack," as was said by a contemporary newspaper, to be"almost as delightful reading as Gilbert White's 'Natural History ofSelborne.' "
In 1913, when Mr. Rusling had filled the post of Organist of BushleyChurch for 50 years, the parishioners were invited to Pull Court by theRev. E. R. Dowdeswell upon the occasion of the presentation to Mr.Rusling of a handsome testimonial, to which it was stated every one inthe parish had given something. The presentation was in the form of apurse and a thousand-day clock driven by electricity. Mr. Dowdeswell,in making the presentation, spoke of Mr. Rusling as a very remarkableman, and such a musician that had he given himself to the profession hewould have risen very high. He was a man all respected because he wasa good man, faithful in the discharge of his duties, kind and sympathetic,and one whom they valued accordingly. An address presented to him atthe same time, bearing nearly 100 names of parishioners, expressed "highregard for him both as a musician of rare talent and as a neighbour andfriend."
The funeral took place on Jan. 22nd. The deceased was buried inBushley Churchyard, and the high regard with which he was held wasshown by the large attendance of neighbours and friends from near andfar—to pay a last testimony of respect to one they held very dear.
THE Squire, the Rev. George Bereus-Dowdeswell, and Mrs. Berens-Dowdeswell, came into residence at Pull Court on October 5th last, andtheir arrival was hailed with much pleasure by the inhabitants of Bushleyand the surrounding neighbourhood.
THE BUSHLEY CRICKET CLUB.The Cricket Club, which was revived in the summer of 1920, during
which season only practice was indulged in, launched forth and playedseveral matches against neighbouring villages during the summer of 1921.Sixteen matches were played, and of these nine were won. The seasonwas finished up in the very enjoyable match " Married v. Single," whichwas won by the Married men. The weather throughout the season wasexceptionally dry and enabled tlio pluyors to got a good deal of practice,and the improvement in playing ability was very marked towards the endof the season.
BUSHLEY. 5
The Club is to be congratulated on possessing a very energetic Secre-tary,^ whose untiring cEEoi'ts in arranging matches and all details havehelped to make the season so enjoyable. The following is a list of theofficers ; President—Rov. G. Berens-Dowdeswell. Chairman—Rev. It. D.Russell Cowan. Committee—A. Boreas, Esq., Messrs. L. Guilding, F,Berry. G. Creese, A. Matty, J. Barnfield, R. Guilding, H. O. Ellis, D. P.Morgan. Captain—D. Phillips Morgan. Vioe-Capt. A Matty. Hon. Sec.and Treasurer—G. Underwood.
At the close of the season, £7 (about) stands to the credit of the Club,and it is hoped during the winter to raise more funds which are needed tobuy necessary requisites.
A highly-successful Concert in aid of the Club was held on December8th, at the Moss Green Pavilion, when Mr. George Romans, o£ Gloucester,kindly brought over his Concert party. For two and a-half hours theyentertained a crowded audience, and all the items wore heartily applaudedand much appreciated.

SCHOOL REPAIRS.—It was more than high time that something ratherertensive in the way of repairs should be done at the School: the dilapi-dated condition of affairs had attracted serious notice, and there wasnothing for it but the complete sotting to rights of the fabric and itsbelongings ; to say nothing of the undesirable effect of the dilapidationsupon the minds of the scholars. A cheerful and striking contrast to allthis has now been completed, and the School Buildings thoroughly placedin a decent and well-ordered state : to the great satisfaction, we are sure,of the teachers and managers,—and the parents and scholars in no less adegree.

WHEN THE WATER IN THE CLYDE RAN LOW.
THE SKIPPER'S WARNING.
QIR HARRY LAUDER tells the followingO story of a certain skipper who ran asmall steamer up and down the Clyde.
One day at low tide he managed to get hisvessel on a mud bank, and after he had exhaustedhis entire vocabulary in describing the Clyde, hiserring steamer, and his still-more-to-be-con-demned crew, he leaned gloomily over the sidewaiting for the tide to rise.
Very soon he saw approaching the river agirl carrying a bucket. Obviously she wascoining down to get some water, and the skipper'swrath flamed up anew.
Leaning over the side and shaking his first ather, he gave her this fair warning :
" My lassie, if you tak' one drap o' water oothere till I get afloat again I'll warm yer earfor't."
A CITY OF SALT.
TIHE most amazing salt mine in the worldis at Wieliczka, in Poland. It is a verit-
all of salt. In fact, Wieliczka is one of' thewonders oi the world.
HOW MUCH IS A WIFE WORTH?

WHEN KING GEORGE FIRST MET A PRIME MINISTER.
TEARS AS A BAIT.
THE use of the saying, " crocodile tears," isdue to an old belief that the crocodile, in
order to lure its prey within its reach, sighedand moaned like a person in distress.
The expression was a common one as farback as the days of the Latin and Greek authors,Virgil stating that the crocodile " wept at thesight of a man," and, having caused him toapproach, devoured him. The expression isapplied to those who falsely arouse the pity orcharity of men.
Erasmus, in his " Adagia," recounts a legend~)i the third century to the effect that crocodiles
skulls of those who had slipped to make themeasy to masticate.
THE KING AND MR. GLADSTONE.
KING GEORGE first met a Prime Ministerwhen he was quite a child. Queen Victoria,
Mr. Gladstone, and a party of distinguishedguests were sitting round a table discussingweighty matters. All went smoothly till Mr.Gladstone suddenly felt something brushagainst his foot.
" Madam ! " he exclaimed, " there is someoneunder the table overhearing our conversation ! *'
He bent down and dragged out the miscreant,a small boy.
The Queen burst out laughing, and said:11 Mr. Gladstone—he is only my gracelessgrandson, George ! "
The future King had been up to some mischiefin the room when he had heard the partyapproaching, and in order to escape punishmenthe had hidden under ths table.

A LANGUAGE THE CHINAMAN COULD UNDERSTAND.
TEETOTAL PICK-ME-UP.
PUT tbe juice of half a lemon in a tumoict,add a lump or two of sugar, and nearly fill
up with water. Stir the whole together, and putin a few drops of essence of ginger. This makesa suitable drink for warm weather. In the winterthe water may be used boiling, and the thin rindof lemon allowed to infuse in it. Ginger syrup,flavoured with lime or lemon juice, makesanother good drink.
STRANGE, BUT TRUE.
DEW is the greatest respecter of colours.To prove this take pieces of glass or boards
and paint them red, yellow, green and black.Expose them at night, and you will find thatthe yellow will be covered with moisture, thatthe green will be damp, but that the red andblack will be left perfectly dry.
IIT WORKED ALL EIGHT.
A CHINESE laundryman who was once fined-£*• two pounds by a magistrate, declaredthat he was too deaf to hear what was said.
" You are fined two pounds," said the magis-trate, louder.
"Velly solly, no can hear," said the Chinaman." The magistrate says you are fined two
pounds." shouted the gaoler." Velly solly, no can hear,'* repeated the
Chinaman.They wrote it down on a slate. ** Solly, John
no can lead."" I think," said an old lawyer, well versed in
Chinese ways, " I can make him understand."Leaning over the edge of tbe dock he shouted," lohn, you are fined four pounds." •,
" No bally fear ! " retorted John. " Twopounds."

When you enter you are nearly taken offyour feet by the sudden gust of burning hotair. Semi-darkness holds you in its embrace ; theheat is terrific, and the noise deafening. Descendyet further. Glancing at a thermometer, yousee that the heat has now increased. You reachthe very bottom of the ship, and face tne fieryeyes of the long row of furnaces, each " eye "emitting almost unbearable heat. The smallspace between the iron wall and the mouths ofthe furnaces is enlivened by a great number ofmen swinging great shovels and irons. Theirfaces, breasts, hands and arms are coveredwith soot a quarter of an inch thick.
THE DEAN PERPLEXED.
DR. RYLE, Dean of Westminster, was oncetelling a Sunday-school class about King
Solomon, how glorious and great he was.Afterwards, wishing to ascertain if his wordshad gone home, he questioned the boys.
" Tell me, boys," he said, " what was thedifference between Solomon and other men ? "There was no answer. " Come, come," he con-tinued, " was there any difference, for instance,between King Solomon and myself ? "
A small hand went up, and a shrill voice piped," Please, sir, Solomon had four hundred wives."
"Tut, tut!" ejaculated Dr. Ryle. "I wasnot thinking of that. Any other difference ? "
Another grubby hand shot up, and anothershrill voice replied, " Please, sir, Solomon waswise! '*

THE LITTLE PRINCE WHO WANTED 1O MAKE CLOCKS.
TO MEASURE A RIVER.
A NYBODY can measure the breadth of a river•A- without mechanical means. Place yourselfat the edge of the stream, stand perfectly stillface the opposite bank, and lower the brim ofyour hat until it just cuts the opposite bank.Then turn slowly round until the hat brim cutssome point on the level ground behind you.Mark the spot where the hat brim cuts the groundthen pace off the distance, and it will be foundabout the breadth of the river.
THICK-SKINNEDIPEOPLE.
THE skin of the men and women of s^mcnations is much thicker than that of
others, particularly in hot countries. The CentralAfrican negro has a skin about half as thickagain as that of a European. That of a negrois thickest over the head and back—doubtlessto serve as a protection from the sun.
PRINCE ARTHUR AN APPRENTICE.
rPHE greatest ambition of Prince Arthur ofL Connaugh t, the Governor of South
Africa, when a small boy, was to become aclockmaker. He insisted on it with all hismight.
His father, the Duke, took him to a clock-maker, and said, " My son has decided to be aclockmaker when he grows up. Will you takehim as an apprentice when he is old enough ? "
" Delighted ! " stammered the astonishedman.
" That's settled. Now, Arthur, you can takeyour first lesson and watch Mr. Blank wind upthe clocks."
For some time Prince Arthur made the'roundsregularly with Mr. Blank, but after a while hecame to the conclusion that the work was tame,and he wanted something else to do, so he tookto the Army. And now he is the " GreatWhite Chief " of South Africa.

GARDENING—NOV. AND DEC.
PLANT out lettuce in warm borders. Digall ground thoroughly that is not wanted for
plantitig until the spring, leaving the earthrough, so that it is exposed to the frost and thegrubs are destroyed. Pot all plants that requireprotection. Shelter choice or tender plants fromfrost. Dahlia roots should be taken up nowand preserved from the frost. Inspect fruit instoreroom at frequent intervals. Place auriculasin winter quarters. Pinks grown in open bordersif potted now and placed indoors w i l l bloomwell in the spring. Roses may now be planted.It is necessary to see that all plants in pits andframes have very little water.
INSECTS' WIRELESS.
ONE ot the most common of summer mothsis the Oak Eggar, which lives chiefly in
oak plantations. If you capture a female, youmay make sure of a demonstration in your ownhome of the efficiencv of insect wireless.
The female is easily distinguished from themale, for she is larger and of a lighter colourTake her home alive, and make a little cage andplace her in it. A suitable cage can be made byremoving the lid of a small cardboard box andcovering the top with a piece of gauze.
Put the cage with the moth inside it on yourwindow-sill, leave it for an hour or so, and thengo back and examine it. A male Oak Eggar isfluttering round the gauze. As you watchanother appears, and, at intervals, male aftermale will come flying along to pay court to thecaptive lady.
The place where you caught her may be miles jaway, but she has sent out her message andsuitors have answered. J
A TIGHT-FISTED EARL.
rpHE marriage of Lord Minto brings to mind-L an amusing story told about his father,the four th Karl .
While fishing near Minto House, in Fifeshire,he was accosted by a tall person, who inquiredwhat sort of sport he was having.
The angler replied that he thought he coulddo better on the other side, adding : " I'll gieye sixpence if ye'11 carry me across."
The bargain was struck, and he was carriedthrough the river to the other side.
When the angler proffered the sixpence, theother smiled, and remarked : " Give it to thefirst beggar you meet and tell him it is a presentfrom the Earl of Minto ! "
BEGGING IN LONDON.
IT is calculated that 4,000 persons make aliving in London by begging, and that their
average income amounts to about 305. a week,or over £300,000 a year.
A peaceable man docs more good than one that is very learned.
THESE WILL HELP YOU IN THE HOME.TO FRESHEN VEGETABLES.
TO freshen stale vegetables soak them for an.hour in cold water to which the juice of a
lemon has been added.
MATS SLIPPING ABOUT.T110 prevent small mats from curling up and-*- slipping from their proper places on polishedfloors or linoleum, Hue them with a piece of oldcarpet.
OVEN NICE AND HOT.
TO test the heat of an oven for cakes, put in apiece of white paper. If at the end of five
minutes the paper is quite yellow the oven is atthe right temperature.
TO SOFTEN A PAINT BRUSH.
TO soften a paint brush on which paint hasbeen allowed to dry, heat some vinegar to
boiling point, and allow the brush to simmer init for a few minutes. Then wash well in strongsoapsuds, and the brush will be like new.
SHINY MARKS ON SKIRTS.
HERE is a recipe for removing shiny marksfrom skirts. After having made coffee,
pour hot water over the remaining grounds. Dipa piece of cloth into this and rub the shiny partsof the dress.
MENDING STOCKINGS.
THIN, soft leather is excellent for mendingthe heels of children's stockings. Small pieces
of chamois leather are to be purchased for atrifle, and th:se are admirable for the purpose.Instead of tue usual darn one of these piecesof leather is carefully sewn over the worn part.
TO CLEAN THE HAIR.
ADD to a wineglass of cold water half ateaspoonful of sal volatile, and with a
small piece of flannel or sponge well wash thehead and hair, dividing it into partings, so thatevery part is washed. This liair-wasn cleansesquickly, and preserves the colour of thehair.
THE VALUE OF BRAN.
FOR paintwork and varnished woodworkbran is invaluable. Coloured goods usually
fade when washed, but if washed in bran waterthey will not lose their colour. It is excellentalso as a scalp cleanser, making the hair glossy.Used instead of soap, it softens and whitens thehands. To prepare bran water, fill a small bagwith bran, place in a bowl, and cover withboiling water.
A USEFUL HATBOX.
GET a large round cheese box, with a lid,from your grocer ; a few pence will buy
one. Scour well with strong soap and water,and stand in the sun for a day or two to dry,when all the smell will be entirely gone. Linethe inside of the box and lid with glazed linen.Make a round cushion for top with a fri l l to hangdown ; drape the sides with same material ascushion, and you will have a nice hatbox andseat combined
THAT FISHY SMELL.TF you wash a pan ia which fish has been friedJ- with strong salt and water it will remove thefishy smell more quickly than soda-water.
RUSTY STEEL FIRE-IRONS.OOAK rusty steel fire-irons in paraffin for a day1 ' before you start cleaning. Then rub wellwith a damp rag dipped in fine ashes and finishoff with emery paper.
WHEN YOU HAVE A COLD.T>UT a bag containing hot water to your feet-*- when you have a cold, to your back whenyou have a backache, or at the nape of the neckwhen you have a headache or feel sleepless.
THE BEEFSTEAK PUDDING.A BEEFSTEAK pudding will take an hour less
•^*- to cook r, before the meat is put in, asmall hole is made in the bottom of the suet crust.This enables the heat to reach the meat quickly.Try it in your next pudding.
MAKING SOFT SOAP.
SOFT soap can be made at home by slicinga bar of soap—two and a half pounds in
weight—into one and a half gallons of water.Add one pound of soda, and boil until dissolved.Keep in a tin or iron receptacle.
REMOVING MILDEW.
TO remove mildew from linen make a pasteof one teaspoonful each of soft soap and
powdered starch, two teaspoonfuls of table saltand enough lemon-juice to mix. Spread thepaste on the mildewed spots and expose to thefresh air for a time. Then wash the linen.
REVIVING BLACK SILK.
BLACK silk which has become dull andshabby is greatly improved by the follow-
ing process ; Well brush and wipe the silk, thenstretch it flat on a table, and sponge it with hotcoffee, which has been strained through a pieceof muslin. Sponge on the right side, and whenalmost dry iron on the wrong side.
COKE INSTEAD OF SANDPAPER.
A SANDPAPER substitute that has specialmerit for removing rust from tools without
scratching is made from crushed coke. Thecoke is crushed to the required degree of finenessand sifted through a piece of cloth on to a pieceof coarse paper which has been coated with glue.After the glue has dried the paper is ready foruse, and may be used on steel tools with im-punity.
TO MAKE A HOLE IN GLASS.
TO make a hole in glass make a circle of clayor cement rather larger than the intended
hole ; pour some kerosene into the cup thusformed, ignite it, place the plate upon a mod-erately hard support, and with a stick, rathersmaller than the hole required, and a hammerstrike a rather sharp blow. This will leave arough-edged hole, which may be smoothed witha file. Cold water is said to answer even betterthan a blow.
A noble fortitude in ills delights heaven, earth and out-selves.
HERE AND THERE IN THE HOMELAND.QUEER NESTING PLACES.
A THRUSH actually built its nest on the axleof a carrier's cart, the bird being thereon
conveyed twice a week from Habton to Malton,a distance of five miles.
A sparrow built its nest among the coal in atender of a Great Eastern Railway engine.
In shunting wagons at Carlisle a thrush'snest was discovered on the axle of a wagonwheel. The nest was placed on the ground untilshunting operations were completed, andreplaced. In spite of this the bird did not forsakeits neat, but lived there for some time.
HOLIDAYS AND WEIGHTS.
HOW holidays benefit children is shown byan experiment once carried out at Finchley.
Before the school broke up the headmasterweighed and measured 150 children. On tlicirreturn, after a month's holiday, he found thattheir average increase in weight was i£ lb.,and in height £ in.
The largest increase in weight was that of agirl, who was 5 Ibs. heavier ; two boys and twogirls each grew ^ in. It is intended to follow upthe experiment by comparing weights andheights of the same children after a month atschool. Quite a valuable experiment.
SO THE MISTLETOE GROWS.
\ S most people know, the mistletoe is most-A usually found on the apple tree. It occa-sionally selects the oak, but this is rare.
The process by which it takes up its abodein the tree is a curious one. A bird feeding onmistletoe berries gets its bill covered with thesticky pulp (which, by the way, is the basis ofbird lime). To rid itself of the pulp, the birdrubs its beak against the bark of any tree whichit chances to visit. The rougher the bark, thebetter it cleanses the bird's bill, and the greaterthe chance of the seeds in the pulp adhering tothe tree. This is especially the case with appletrees, and where, as occasionally happens, theseed gets lodged in a deep crack in the bark ithas a chance to germinate and take root.
A HAUNTED CASTLE.
I UNROBIN CASTLE, the Highland homeof the Duke of Sutherland, has a haunted
>m. The spectre is an invisible one, which
Needless to say, most oE the servants belistory ; but visitors are usually sceptical.
PICTURE WORTH A LARGE FORTUNE.
FANCY paying £14 per square inch for apicture! But that is what the nation's
most valued painting, the " Ansidei Madonna,"by Raphael, in the National Gallery, is worth.The picture was painted to adorn the altar ofan Italian church, but was afterwards sold tothe Marlborough family, who sold it again tothe nation twenty-eight years ago for £70,000.This is one of the biggest bargains John Bullever made, for were that picture to be put up toauction to-morrow it would fetch £115,000without any trouble.
A QUEEN'S CONFESSION.
AMONG the treasures of Belvoir Castle is a" Confession Book " with a page filled in by
Queen Alexandra, then Princess of Wales.*' My Favourite Queen," she wrote, " is
Dagmar ; King, Richard Cceur de Lion ; hero,Marlborough; poet, Shakespeare; artist,Rubens; author, Charles Uickens; virtue,charity ; colour, blue ; flower, forget-me-not;name, Edward; occupation, playing thepiano; amusement, riding; chief ambition,not to interfere with other people's business ;chief dislike, slander; favourite motto, Hanisoil qui mal y pense"
WHEN STEAM IS SUPERSEDED
A SCIENTIST who has made an extensivestudy of engineering looks forward to the
time when the idea of using steam as a motiveforce will be regarded as barbarous and old-fashioned. Immense stores of power are lockedup in natural substances only waiting to beliberated by science when she has learned theway. A few grams of hydrogen have withinthem sufficient energy to raise a million tonsfrom the ground to a height of a hundred yards,and the power in certain elements, such as lead,iron, or sulphur, is even greater. The task ofdriving an engine and train from London toAberdeen would not exhaust the latent power ofa teaspoonful of water, if only we could applyit. Some day we may be able to do so.
ETERNAL BRITISH;SNOWS.
THERE are mountains in Scotland on whichsnow can be found in every month through-snow can e oun n every mon roug-
ut the year. On the northern slopes of the Cairn-orms in the North of Scotland snow can always
be seen until after Midsummer Day, and in the
„_ n jNevis meie sue mavises 01 snowwhich have never been known to disappear. Ina rock gully on Bsn Nevis, in fact, near the oldObservatory, there is a mass of snow and icewhich many authorities hold to be a true Britishglacier. In fact, the British Isles can showfeatures in snow and ice that would be greatlyadmired in Switzerland.
