Most of us assoclate chintz with all that is English, and it comes as a surprise to learn that chintses are a comparatively recent introduction to England. In 1700 '"callicoes decor- ated In India" were prohibited be- cause they appealed much to English- women and English weavers could not produce their equal. 80 strong was. the feeling in 1710 against Indian chintzes, or even their English imitations, that riots re-| sulted. A contemporary writer ob-| served: '"Tis true that women, boys and girls, which belong and depend on the weaving trade, cannot endure to see any callicoe gowns pass in the Streets unmolested." But apparently the "Callicoe Madames," as they were called, considered it was better to wear a torn gown than one that was not in the height of fashion, as were these dresses, made of "out- law'd Indian chints." Prohibition bad merely added to the charm of she fabric the fascination of the for- attractive chapter in the book deals with the printing of English cottons before the introduction of ery. It opens thus: "Our great-great-grandmothers took the greatest interest in their 'callicoes' both for gowns and furniture. The "fineness of the fabric, the brilliance and fastness of the coloring, the ele- gancy of the designs were matters that concerned them deeply. Of course if real Indian "chintz" could be obtained, their highest ambitions Were realised; but, if not, English drapers had a large selection of home-printed goods to offer them, Not only had the stuff to look well when new, but it had to prove its worth in wear, and it is on record that one . lady took her flowered gown back to the seller fn high dudgeon because the color had begun to fade--tiwo years after she had bought it." Colfor-making was carried out by the printers themselves; the actual application _of the colors was by means of a block. The printer stood by his table, over which would be spread the plain cloth; he placed the block, he struck blows on the bloek with 8 "maul" or mallet, thus driving the color evenly into the material, Guy Fawkes Celebration.

His father's vast estates of 202,000 acres, to which he later sue ceeded with the dukedom, were, sai¢ the marquis, mostly bleak moors and deer forests in the highlands, unable to stand the new imposts: It was 3 gloomy outlook. His predictions have been even ex ceeded by the war taxes. During the recent elections in Britain, his wife the Duchess of Atholl, one of the new | women M.P.'s, stated from the plat | form that at last she and her hus | band had been forced by taxes tcf move out of their old castle at Blake) Atholl, into a cottage. Times have changed indeed, since the days when, according to the old Scots song, a former head of the house of Atholl, home from the wars sang to his sweetheart: "Blair in Atholl's mine lassie, Fair Dunkeld is mine lassle, St. Johnstone's Bower and Huntting Tower And all that's mine is thine, lassie." This. and 'the Toronte episode are recalled by a story that the Alban: lans have just offered the Duke of Atholl the crown of their turbulent little country, ' which offer, says "rumor, has been gratefully declined. For though the rent rolls of his high- land farms have been sadly diminish- ed by Governmental levies, the duke gets $10,000 a year and some extras as Lord Great Chamberlain of Eng land. - As such, he ranks sixth among the reat officers of state. In his official apacity he carries a white staff. wears a golden key typical of the key 'f the palace, of which he is supposed to be in charge. Hé is responsible arrangements con- coronations and royal marriages, christenings and funerals. He exam- Ines the claims of those who desire to be presented at court. All invita- tions are sent out in his name by command of the sovereign, by whose side he stands at royal levees, an- nouncing the names of the persons who are approaching the throne. He is also, be it said, the licensor of Plays and can order the removal of an objectionable show from a London theatre, Besides all this, the duke is the only person in Britain authorized like the great nobles of olden days, to keep a private army. Queen Victoria granted the Atholls this privilege by fpeclal decree. And perhaps he would rather rely on the allegiance of these 250 Atholl Highlanders of his own clan than on the fealty of the elans and tribes of Albania with its popu lation of severel millions, including Some brigands, and its 11,000 square Liles, comprising much mountain. The Jast ruler of Albania, Prince Wil- liam of Weld, had a rather thin time before he was forced to Vacate the throne fn 1914.

TERRORS OF THE DEEP. Risks Life to Study Submarine Monsters in Caribbean Sea. The unknown horrors of the deep | ! seas and the perils of those who go down in small boats to catch them, sre told by F. A. Mitchell Hedges, a 'amous explorer who went out to the 'aribbean Sea in 1921 in the twenty- on yacht Cara. His object was to ¢rove his theory that giant submar- | 'ne creatures, every whit as mighty ind horrible as those of the Meso- | sole era, still exist in the depths of he Seven Seas. He has done so. His story is an epic of high ad- venture, a tale to stir the blood and Set a great imaginings atoot in the brain. Mr. Mitchell Hedges has done | what no other has ever done.

It was thirty-one feet long, and weighed 6,700 pounds. Its "saw" would have cut a rowing boat in half., On an- o.her occasion he and a companion hooked, played and landed sixteen sand sharks and a tiger shark whose gross weight was 6,490 pounds, He saw such fights as make the imagination stand still. | A battle be- tween a sea-cow and a giant shark, a fight with a tiger shark which had terrorized Kingston Harbor, the catching of a 1,460-1b. shovel-nose shark and a hammerhead shark, whose capture caused such n- ation" among the tative fishermen that they begged to be allowed to cut the line rather than face the "sea Mr, Mitchell Hedges has brought photographs and giant vertebrae back to England which proves to the hiit his assertion that the horrors of the deep seas are no whit less terrible than they were in pre-historic days. He has pit a new color of romance into a drab century. He was accompanied throughout by Lady Richmond Brown, who dared death in horrible forms a score of times. Floating Gardens, In old-time Mexico and in Kashmir there were real floating gardens. Mexico City is surrounded by a lake crossed by long causeways built In the time of the Astecs. As the eity was too small for gardens the Aztecs made great rafts of wood and wickerwork, 100 yards long and more, filled them with a couple of feet Of soil. Trees were planted on these floating gardens, to give shade, and huts were built for the gardeners. Some were vegetable gardens and others grew beautiful blossoms for the emperor and to adorn the temples of the sun. It was easy to bring the Vegetable produce to market---you Just punted' the garden in from the lake and sold the stuff to passers-by on the quay. The low-lying ground sround the aly of Kaskmir is liable to floods each rainy season; the vegetable gare dens are made so that they rise on the flood, on the same plan as those of ancient Mexico. During the dry weather the floating gardens are run aground, on the beach or on a shoal. You would not suspect, from a glance, that they were anything out or the common. y But when the torrential downpour comes and the water rises, lo and be- hold; the gardens rise with it, and cruise gently hither and thither until &- convenient anchorage has been found. Then stout polés are ram- med into the bottom and the gardens are moored until fine weather comes again, Joke Was on the King, The late King Christian of Den- mark was what might be. termed a good sport. 'He once plunged in and saved a sallor from drowning. Not long ago before Hs death he was cruising in his yacht off the Danish coast when he was startled by the sound of fire arms. He ordered the yacht to turn at full speed in the direction of the sound and soon came within range of a fearful spectacle. From the deck of a steamer some men were firing on a rowing-boat, and as the Rita came near a girl threw herself from the boat into the water. A motor launch was lowered from the yacht, and the drowning girl was hauled aboard: this by the king himself. His majesty then noted a boat with a huge camera, and found that he had been acting for the benefit of a cinematograph opera- tor. annoyed the king saw the humor of the situation, and gave permission for the film to be ex- hibited. ---- Raining Cats 'and Dogs.
