ments, etc.,of the grandmothers of

One of the most amazing freak
diners °vet' held in Lendon was re-
cently given by Mr, Charles Stone,
the financier, athis house In Lon-
don, says a Tit -Bit writer. Karl Ka-
viar, King of the Rolling Globules,
the Bi -lingual Bivalves, the Turning
Turtles, O Sole Mio„ the Due d'As-
perge, and a few other stars of Menu -
Land provided marvellous turns.
It was a dregs dinner, the table
at which the guests eat down being
in the form of a eirces ring. The
ceiling was hidden by a tent top, and
the Courses were announced by a ring
master. Admission to the dining -
room was through, a turnstile. Din-
ner was served by fifty waitresses
dressed as elowns.
Biographical notes of the perform-
ers, printed in the program, revealed.
that Karl is far and away the most
travelled member of the Il;aviah fain-
tly. In his garb of astrachan grey he
rolls from place to place, First he
lived in Sturgeon, then went to alijni-
Novgorod and finally to Odessa,
where he, became embroiled in a
Family Jar. Escaping from eaptivitY
by the Head of the Tin-C•anek Dyn-
asty, he made his way to London,
where he won great popularity.
The Bizlingual Bivalves, it Was
stated, spent most of their studious
hours in bed, and, while passing
through Colchester were °highly com-
plimented by the mayor. The Duc
d'Asperge appeared in "Ore -inspiring
feats of bending and suspension."
DRUG ON MARKET.
Britain's Historic Places Will Not
Sell.
One by. one the stately mansions
'which for generations have been cen-
tres of English "country life are fall-
ing into disuse.
Many people who bought these
great houses in the post-war boom
are finding them an encumbrance.
They spent thousands of pounds in
modernizing izinEth m
and now they
cannot sell them even at an enor-
mous sacrifice.
The latest of these country houses
to fall into this unhappy position is
Wootton 'Hall, near Eilastone, on the
borders of Staffordshire and Derby-
shire, a wonderful home under the
shadow of the Weaver Hills at the
southern end of the Pennine :Range.
A year or two ago it was valued at
$500,000; the best offer that has so
far been obtained"is $16,500—scarce-
ly the
16,500—scarce-lythe value of the Iand. It was mod-
ernized at great cost by its last .occu
pant, a millionaire, but it has stood
empty and unwanted for months.,
A leading estate agent said to a
reporter: •
"Country mansions are coming in-
to the market faster than they can
be sold. Few people now want to live
in these enormous mansions, which
are, the.:gloiy of our countryside, but
require an army of servants to main-
tain.
'`One of the reasons for this decline
isthat the heavy taxation has made
big inroads into the incomes of many
of the old families."

The Federation of Old Cornwall
Societies, research , antiquarian or-
ganizations that ` hawe done much
work on the folk -lore of that little-
known part of - Great Britain, are en-
deavoring to
n-deavoring:to bring about a revival of
the old Cornish language.
Cornish has practically disappear-
ed, even . more so than Welsh or
Irish. Whereas these two languages
can still be heard in remote com-
munities where English is rarely us- ,
ed, even in West Penwith, district,
Land's End, the most obscure part of
the Duchy of Cornwall, the language.
is no longer spoken,though individ-
ual words still remain in the English
speech of the inhabitants. The last
person to speak the language fluently
is said to have been Dolly Pentreath,
who died in 1777. An inscription in
Cornish on her tombstone records
this fact, but it iaprobable that the
language was in use somewhat later
in the more isolated sections of Pen
with.
Thrills on Wheels.
A motor-oycle trip round • the world'
has been completed by Douglas R.
Hill, who, to win a wager of £200
and expenses,, undertook to do the
journey in six months. Unfortunate-
ly for him, he took thirty-three
weeks.
He covered 23,000 miles at a cost
of £1,000, and lives mostly on rice,'
eggs, and potatoes.
When in Japan, Mr. Hill was mis-
taken for a spy, while he was nearly
knifed by a peasant at a local fair in
Jugoslavia when he attempted to
claim a pair of stockings that had
been stolen from his sidecar. He had
an encounter with rattlesnakes in
New Mexico, while in Texas he suf-
fered from malaria.
Salisbury Cathedral.
England's most beautiful cathe-
drall, at Salisbury, has been- called
England's finest poem in stone. It is,
indeed, the most harmonious and
best proportioned of the English
eathedrats, for it was built within
the short space of forty years (1220-
1260), where any others have tak-
en centuries to complete them. It .is
a pure example of early linglisb
architecture, unalloyed by foreign
influence.- 1ts spire, rising from the
very middle of the church, is the loft-
iest in England,
