NOTHING 9S TOO QUEER.
To Be Placed In the Distended Ear
Lobes of a Masai Belle.
Among certain tribes in British East
Africa an enormously. distended ear
is one of the surest signs of beauty
and ultra -refinement. A belle who
really wants to lead her "set" spares
herself neither pain nor inconveni-
ence to achieve the sort of ear which
fashion dictates. One of the favorite
methods employed is to pierce the
lobe of the ear and insert a small
wedge made of wood. Gradually this
hole is enlarged by the introduction of
thicker pieces of wood, until it is large
enough to receive a stone with a
groove running round it. These stones
vary in size, but the ultimate result is
the transformation of the lobe into a
rounded, cord-like' loop, which in the
black ears of these men and women
looks like a rubber 'band. Among the
Masai women the full-sized ear is con-
sidered to have been attained when

This is the heir—The rulers clid
not acknowledge Jesus to be the
true Messiah, but it -was because,
in their greed and obtuseness, they
had misread prophecy and so look-
ed for a King of different mold.
So it is assumed in the parable that
Jesus is the Son, and known to be
such, and yet is deliberately killed,

FIRST ENGLISH: HORSERACES.
Chester possesses plausible claims
to bo the birthplace of the British
turf, says the Westminster Gazette.
It was one William Lester, who
about 1609, "being Mayor of Ches-
ter, did cause three silver bells to
be made of good value to be run for
upon the Roode Dee." This seems
the earliest definite establishment
of a horserace. From the nature of
the prize was derived the proverb
"To bear the bell," though the
bells in this case existed long be-
fore the "ring." Our ancestors be-
ing more easily satisfied in the
matter of amusement than their
degenerate descendants there was
apparently only one %contest. The
"Chester Cup," which has been
substituted for the "best hell," is
now worth £2,500, to say nothing
of Cheshire cheeses for the three
plaeed horses.
Last year 358,908,000 cubic feet of
gas was manufactured in Geeo,.ock,
an increase of 32,667,000 feet.
