Professor ‘mstram says that the English wall-painters worked in a kind of "tempera" on the dry plas- ter or even on the masonry izsef. The pigments were» mixed with water and some sticky substance to prevent the colors scaling off. For this the old painters used eg3. hon- ey or skim milk, and their colors were equally simple, yellow or red ochre, varied with charcoal, or lamp black and lime. Some oi’ the best pictures are made with a. palette of three such colors. Cathedrals, or churches with rich patrons, from time to time introduced copper- green, blue. and scarlet. but the bulk of the village work was done in earth calcrs. _

No church however was content- ed with what it had, so every fifty years or so. the walls were whlte-\ washed over and newly painted; nothing ever got d_ry or stale, says the chronicler.

"At the Reformation the white- washers got busy with a. vengeance and put a stop lo this kind of painting for ever.“ They defeated their own ends, for the whitewash preserved the pictures to our ovm day. Professor Trlstram has uncov- ered very many of such pictures, in some cases restoring them with a. "WEN 111ml? and in all H159; making 009195 I01‘ preservation in the great museums of Izhigland.

all the scholars rose and stood at attention till, at a. ivave of the master's hand, they again took their seats and resumed their work. This was a mark of respect towards the stranger and helped us to re- member that our duty to our elders was in the first instance that of politeness. And we certainly were "good" while a stranger was within the gates, whatever we might be a1’- terwards! ‘This custom, I am told, is no longer followed in Britain, and to my mind, 1.1-, ls a distinct loss.

I remember driving vmst an Is- land SChUOi—-\LL was cafi Tnorn- dyke in those days-many years ago. Two boys came out and on nearing me they raised their caps. I responded, greatly marvellnig, be- cause I had not seen the like for years and years! Well-trained boys, I thought, and inwardly praised their teacher. In my schooldays it was "manners" to dofi the cap to a stranger or an elder; but a friend tells me that this salute is now 0X11! made if the stranger moves! first, but every boy must still. raisei his cap to the teacher or if (as Ire-t quently happens) he is not wearing a cap, he gives a military salute. A small matter with an important‘ bearing!

Again, if on our way to or froml school we met a funeral, it was em’ joined upon us to take off our caps if it was summer, or to simply,‘ raise them i: winter, and to stand! at attention till the oortege went‘ by. “Fills last respect to the dead had become so firmly ingrained that the miners, in general the rough- est of men, always stood at. atten- tion on the side of the road while the funeral passed. This custom‘ still lingers in some districts.

One day in the year-I think it was the 29th of May—we were per- mitted by long-established custom. to defy the master, and to "get 8-Way with it." On that morning when the whistle blew "schoofs in" every boy took off down the road which led past the building. At a safe distance. a procession was form- ed and we then marched tn and fro chanting in doggerel rhyme;

Royl 034: Day!

Twenty-ninth o’ May!

If YB divrft (don't) give us halliday We’ll aal run away!

We had about 200 years of tradi- tional right to this act of insubor. dlnation. After the battle of Wor- cester the young Prince Charles (who afterwards became the Sec- ond of that name) was obliged to flee before CromwelPs victorious soldiery. He was befriended by one Richard Penderel, who, when the Search became close, hid the Prince in the branches of an oak tree at E-oscobell, while the Rpundheadg "rode below and humm'd a surly hymn." At. the Restoration in 1660, this day was kept as a holiday, and was not forgotten in my time. Hence our insistence on our rights!

After blowing the whistle a few times and finding us quite marten. tive. the master would send one of the girls to call the eldest boy up to the school gates. On receiving the assurance that they might have a half-holiday if they came in at once and "worked hard.” me little bend marched up ~_.e road, filed m- tO School. and the incident, was clos- ed, as the diplomats say.

When. however. the weather was stormy (and when it rained, up in that hill country, it did rain) an- other meihod was resorted to, quite familiar to all the people 1n the neighborhood. ‘This was called a "barring-out" and consisted m pil- ing the forms (or benches) against the inside of the school dggr so that the master could not enter. Then all the young rustics. taking time by the fore-lock, would eat their dinners (lunches) and wind up by petting each other with the crusts, perhaps breaking we glass- e3 of the wall lamps. Negotiations between the master and a spokes- man would tmke place through a window until terms were agreed upon. The forms were removed and the master resumed sway, doing full justice to those who had bmk. en anything.

But this disorderly custom even then was on its last legs: growth or time. like change or plnca, "had broke the bond oi’ dying use," and after the school Board rook hold there was no more "Rnval Oak Day." There were other school ous- toms which will be held over to a

One of the nicest small fox prop- erties in the Province is owned by W. Harry Tldmarsh of Charlotte- town and is situated at North River, iihree miles from Charlotte- town. Harry has as carstaker Al- bert Cudmore, formerly with J. Walter Jones. The breeding stock and pups are in splendid shape.

The straw problem promises k be one that may cause fox ranchers some worry about June or July 1935. If the hay shortage is as acute as we are led to believe it will result in more straw being z’ . to annuals and make it difllculi for the fox farmer to get sufllcient supplies to bed the animals in tiheir sh ' Florehanded ranchers will probably take the tip and lay in supplies so as not to be caught na/pping next year.

We are indebted to President George A. Callbeck of iihe Canadian National Silver Fox Breeders’ As- sociation, Summersdde for the fol- lowing information which arrived by cable yesterday from Inndon.

The quantities of Silver Fox pelts which will be marketed by the various auction houses at the forthcoming October 8th and after sales are Hudson's Bay 4,000 Lamplsrms 3,000, Arming 8r Cobb 3,000, Ruth's 9,000. Last year's sales which correspond to the above sale had an aggregate number o.‘ 17,660 pelts, about 1,400 less than the coming sale. The fall and winter Iondon Silver Pox sales will start December 3rd.

The dates for next year's sales are January 7th, March 18th, May 29th, Sept/ember 19th. The cable further states the belief that the market will be firm.

Another Wheat Exporter

The press report that France has left the ranks of wheat importing countries to join those of exporters L; of considerable importance to Canada, in that still another com- petitor is added to the list. Prior to 1929. France did not produce suf- ficient wheat to meet her domestic requirements, except in years when exceptionally large crops were harvested. Large crops were grown in that country in 1929, 1932, and again in 1933, so that a surplus of wheat has been built up. In pre- war years Pranoe produced very large crops. The 1890 crop amounted to 330 million bushels, or equivalent to the production of i932. In the five-year period from 1909 to 1913. production averaged 317 million bushels per annum. From 192B to 1932 it was 290 million bushelsor about 27 million bushels under the pre-war average. France has not reached. her pro-war average of wheat which amounted to 16.5 million acres. The 1933 acereage was 13,358,999 and it has not changed materially since 1920.
