During the World war, or even ac cording to one authority, during the Boer war 15 years earlier, the glow of a match was sufficient to give an enemy marksman a target. The first and second man to use the match might be safe, but the enemy would be sure of the range by the time the third cigarette was reached.

Ro) lins in the Los Angeles Times, It was made of a thin plece of board, shaped roughly like a butter. paddle, usually four or five inches long and two Inches or so wide, with #4 sheet of paper or vellum on one tide. Printed on the paper at the top was the alphabet in large and small letters. Then followed the Lord's prayer. This is always found on the early examples. Over. the whole printed page was a thin sheet of transparent yellowish horn to keep the paper clean. Both the pa- per and the horn were fastened to the board by a narrow strip of met al. The handle served for holding during study and also for attaching to the child's girdle. Hornbooks were used to teach chil dren their first lesgons and gradual ly the name came to signify a child's primer. Another name sometimes given them was battiedore, due to the shape and to the fact that horn. | books were often used for playing shuttiecock into use some if the Sixteenth nan until the They were Hombooks came time in the middle century and were con end of the Eighteenth, made by the thousands of wood, ory, stone, leather, brass, copper ctils snd were 0 com. were not thought worth and other n mon they aving United States, England Have Some Old Churches Some of the historie churches of the Old world are: St. Paul's ca thedral, London; Westminster ab- bey.

Mayor by Tap On Head With a Mallet Very few of England's mayors are elected or inducted with the cere mony attached to London's lord mayor. Nevertheless, there are places where curious old customs persist. asserts a writer in London Answers magazine. The mayor of Lincoln, for exam. pia, is inducted office by having on ancient ring placed on his finger. At Cheltenham the heart of the pew mayor is made glad by the gift of a gold-headed malacca cane —a reminder, perhaps. of those days when it was his duty to keep public order in person. But probably the mayors of Dun. stable and Grantham have fo face the mast Interesting, though not the most agreeable, ceremonies. The mayor of Dunstable, for his part, Is well and truly “bumped.” while the chief magistrate of Grantham, for some quaint reason lost in antiquity, is stnartly tapped on the head with a thallet by the town clerk. inth his Use of Perfumes Not many people regard perfumes #3 healing agents.
