The urgent demand of the National Council of Defense is that every possible were in the great crop prndueing states be put under cultiva tion.

Old Cottage That Is Much Like Peg goty's Boathouse and Other Freak Dwellings Are Encountered. Tht* largest private dwelling house in England we know. It is Wentwonli Woodhouse, the seat of Earl Fitzwil iiam. in Yorkshire. The oldest inhab ited house is said to be the so-called “Jew's house.” in Lincoln, of the Nor man period, about eight hundred years ■Id. Hut which and where is the most curious habitation in these islands? asks a writer in London Answers. Many tourists who know Conway will no doubt at once declare for he miniature house to be found in that town on the quay, and actually built beneath the grim, ancient walls of Ld ward L- massive castle. It thus forms ■in extraordinary contrast with that great fortress, for it is “the smallest house iu Croat Britain,” as the notice board on its very miniature frontage declares. The people of Conway seeui to be rather more proud of the fame this lit tle slip of a house brings the town than 1 if the creator fame brought by the big ger building, and picture-postcard ven ders do a large trade in cards of it. Between Gravesend and the village of Chalk, and situated in a curious po sition. with the Thames on one side and the Thames and Medway canal on the other, is an old cottage that is half a boat. It lias stood there certainly since tlic time of Charles Dickens, who lived in the neighborhood and may well have bad it in mind when he in vented I’eggotty’s boathouse on Yar mouth sands in “David Copperfiebl.” Tliis is almost such another, and is formed from one of the boats of the old wooden man-o'-wer Wellington, sold out of the servee in 1822. The boat, upside down, forms both roof and up per floor of the cottage. A whimsical freak house of consider able size and great interest is that known as the “Tripod house,” standing in the village of Goodrich, on the River Wye. It was built in 1636 by Rev. Thomas Swift, vicar of Goodrich and grandfather of the famous Dean Swift. His idea was to thus typify the trinity, and to do so he designed and built the house on this curious plan—a central hall, with three wings branching from it at equal distances. The unfortunate vicar and builder of this quaint house was a devoted royal ist, and as such his odd dwelling was pillaged no fewer than twenty times by the soldiers of the parliament, who also stole all his cattle and farm stock. He did not live to see the restoration of Charles II. dying, as he did. in 1636. Our next example of an eccentric dwelling house is to he found in a very different part of the country—away in Lincolnshire, near Horncastle. From Its fancied resemblance to a teapot it is locally known as "Teapot Hall.” It was built, according to tradition, by a retired captain of one of the old “tea clippers," as the fast sailing ships in the China trade used to be called. A very' line and particularly striking residence is that known as “The Grange.” Leominster. Herefordshire, and it has an astonishiug history, hav ing once been the town hall and But ter Cross. Built in 16;t3 from designs by the famous Herefordshire architect, John Abel, who worked chiefly in tim ber. it is a structure entirely of elabo rately marked wood, and formerly stood m the center of the town. It had an open ground floor used as a butter market. This extremely beautiful relic of the seventeenth century was in 1833 found by the town council of Leo minster to be in the way and it was sold at auction for £95. Hay in Church. A curious custom lias been ob served from time immemorial at Old Weston. Huntingdonshire, in England. The church there is dedicated to St. Swithin. and on the Sunday most near ly approaching St. Swithin's day the edifice is strewn with new-mown hay. The tradition is that an old lady bequeathed a field for charitable pur poses. on condition that* the tenant provide the hay, to lessen the annoy ance caused by ihe squeaking of the new shoes worn by the villagers on Feast Sunday. There are other ex planations—one that it is an offering of the first fruits of the hay harvest, and another that it is a survival of the customs of strewing the church (when the floor was only beaten earth) with rushes. Character Forming. The education of the will is really of far greater importance as shaping ihe destiny of the individual than that of the intellect. Theory and doctrine, and inculcation of laws and proposi tions, will never of themselves lead to the uniform habit of right action. It is by doing that we learn to do, by overcoming that we learn to over come ; by obeying reason and con science. that we learn to obey; and every right act which we cause to spring out of pure principles, whether by authority, precept, or example, will have a greater weight in the for mation of character than all the the ory In the world.—Dr. J. D. Morell. Compromise With Stupidity. The public mind is nearly always slow working. The deliberations of a body of men must usually wait upon the intelligence of its least intelligent member, and the final result of such deliberation will ordinarily be closer to the mentality of the stupidest mem ber of the conference than that of the most intelligent. Intelligence must compromise with stupidity. The broad minded must compromise with the big oted. Stupidity and bigotry are near ly always reflected in public opinion.— William Maxwell in Collier’s Weekly.
