Frosts on the Thames.— The Thames was
frozen for 14 weeks in 1063, and below bridge to
Gravesend from 24th November to 10th February
in 1434. In 1515, carriages passed over the ice
from Lambeth to Westminster ; and fires and
diversions were witnessed on the river in 1807.
In 1684 the river was covered with ice llin.
thick, and nearly all the birds perished. In
1716 a fair was held, and oxen were roasted on
the ice ; this frost continued from 24th November
to 9th February, A frost in 1740 lasted nine
weeks, when coaches plied, and festivities of
various kinds were celebrated, on the Thames.
From November to January, in 1789, the river
was passable on the ice opposite to the Custom
House, and in 1814 booths were erected. An
intense frost prevailed in that year throughout
the month of January, after which the river
was considered safe for foot-passengers. The
watermen made rough paths, strewn with ashes,
from bank to bank, for which they charged toll,
making a considerable revenue.

Writing ai^d Speaking-.— Habits of literary
conversation, and still more habits of extempore
discussion in a popular assembly, are peculiarly
useful in giving us a ready and practical com-
mand of our knowledge. There is much good
sense in the following aphorism :—(^aeo?i) —
" Reading makes a full man, writing a correct
man, and speaking a ready va&n. —Dunald

OUR ILLUSTRATIONS.

Sandgate. ^

Sandgate, in Kent, is a chapelry and hamlet
two miles "VY.S.W. of Folkstone. The situation
of the town, which lies along the sea shore, with
hills rising immediately behind it, is in the
highest degree salubrious and delightful. Sand-
gate possesses hot and cold baths, excellent
accommodation for sea-bathing, a library, and
reading-rooms. On a neighbouring hill is an
ancient camp, compi'ising about two acres, said
to have been the work of King Ethelbert. The
castle, which was ei-ected in the reign of Henry
VIIT., has been converted into a martello tower,
on a very large scale, to combine with other
martello towers erected on the neighbouring
hills to defend this part of the coast. The walk
on the cliffs to Eolkstone is much frequented,
and the sourroi;nding scenery is of the most
delightful and varied description. About half a
mile from Sandgate commences the military
canal, cut during the great French war, to
impede the progress of the enemy, in the event
of a landing being effected on this shore , it is
about twenty-three miles long, ninety feet broad,
and eighteen deep, with a raised bank to shelter
the soldiery, and enable them to oppose the foe
with better advantage. The canal terminates at
cliff end, Sussex, and on the cliffs were several
strong batteries.

Malvern Priory Church.

The Priory Church of Malvern forms one of the
most complete of the old monastic chx\rches of
England. The first impression of the church is
the likeness of the tower to the cathedral at
Gloucester, and the likeness suggests that the
architects and builders of the one had a hand in
the other. Nor is this improbable. The whole
of the external appearance of the church is that
of the more florid of the pointed and perpen-
dicular style ol Gothic architecture. The nave
and pillars are, however, of Norman construc-
tion. The church is 173 feet long, 63 feet broad,
and the tower is 124 feet high. The tesselated
pavement of the church must have been remark-
able for its ricluiess and beauty. Many of the
tiles yet remain to bear witness to the fund of
inventive design of the old potters. At least
one hundred different designs are noted, among'st
which armorial bearings of the various families
comiected with Malvern or the neighbourhood
are conspicuous. The fanciful carving on the
monks' stalls, and the ancient monuments,
deserve the attention of the visitor. The richly-
coloured reredos, presented in 18S4 by the Rev.
E. Peek, of Malvern "Wells, and designed by Mr.
Arthur Bloomfleld, is composed of Mosaic and
marble. The font is of Norman date, and the
organ is one of the finest instruments in the
country.

Dunluce Castle.

The Castle of Dunluce, about two miles from
the singular and interesting curiosity, the Giant's
Causeway, is one of the most important as well
as picturesque remains of the kind in Ireland.
It is situated on an insulated rock, of a hundred
feet in perpendicular height, v,-hich is separated

from the mainland by a precipitous chasm of
about twenty feet wide. The only way by which
it can be entered is by a narrow wall, one of the
supporters of the ancient di-awbridge. It seems
as if it were split off from the terra firma. Over
the intermediate chasm lies the only approach
to the castle, along a narrow wall, which has
been built somewhat like a bridge, from the rock
to the adjoining land ; and this circumstance
must have rendered it almost impregnable before
the invention of artillery. It appears, however,
that there was originally another narrow wall
which ran acx^oss the chasm parallel to the
former, and that, by laying boards over these,
an easy passage might occasionally be made for
the benefit of the garrison. The walls of the
castle are built of columnar basalt, many joints
of which are placed in such a mamier as to show
their polygonal sections. It was through
mistaking the basaltic columns of the Giant's
Causeway for the walls of Dunluce Castle, and
exhausting their artillery upon them, that the
Spanish Armada was caught in the destructive
storm which completed its ruin.

Gareloch.

The pretty arm of the sea, known as Gareloch,
has its opening in the Frith of Clyde. Its shores
are of singular beauty ; the little hamlet, sea-
side mansions, and handsome villa-like erections,
being richly Avooded, the manse being specially
beautiful. The sail up the Gareloch is very fine,
and the head of the loch extremely so, and the
houses which adorn its gently-rounded shores,
the quoad sacra parish church and village inn
improving the picture, which has the Alps of
AiTOchar, the mountain height of the Cobbler,
and the Argyle bowling-green, " Incics a nan
hicendo" the least smooth spot in a most rough
district. Fi-om the head of Gareloch to the shores
of Loch-Long, is within two miles, the road to
Arrochar for Loch-Lomond, or for Loch-Fine,
leading up its shores while another route leads
southward by the western banks of the Gareloch
and the penmsula-like shaped point of Rose-
neath, as the district is named, which intervenes
between the Garelech and Loch-Long.

Bar Gate, Southampton.

The principal street of Southampton riuis from
the quay northAvards ; it is upwards of a mile
in length, and is particularly handsome and
spacious. This street, Avhich is knoAvn as lligh
Street, is divided about the middle by an old
edifice called the Bar Gate, resembling Temple
Bar in appearance, which once formed one of the
principal entrances into the town Avithin the
toAvn Avails. It is a curious and ancient fortified
gatehouse, with a large room in the upper part
of the building that is. used as a guildhall.

Elgin Cathedral.

Elgin is an ancient and royal city, and the
capital of the county of Moray or Elginshire, in
Scotland, It is situated on the Lossie, about
five miles from its mouth. Its ancient cathedral
is one of the most magnificent ruins in Scotland.

OUR ILLUSTRATIONS.

Pangbourne, Bucks.

As a residence for a time, Pangbourne has
many attractions ; the scenery in the neighbour-
hood is very beautiful, wiiilst lovers of the
" gentle craft " may enjoy themselves here
abundantly. Though Pangbourne is a very
ancient place, being held, according to Dooms-
clay Book, by Miles Grispin of William the
Conqueror, no trace of its ancient features are
now to be found. At one time Pangbourne was
in the Abbacv of Reading ; at another owned by
the unfortunate Duke of Somerset, who was
executed in 1553.

Fulham Church.

In the parish of Pulham, Middlesex, is the
palace of the Bishop of London, and in a quiet
corner of the churchyard lies Theodore Hook,
surrounded by bishops and abbots, and —
"A great many more of a lesser degree.
In sooth a goodly company."

The list of bishops interred here may be forty,
beginning with Irkenwald, bishop under Sigi-
bert, king of the West Saxons, and Conrad, king
of Mereians. But be they forty, more or less, no
cultiu-ed Englishman can survey the graves of
Sherlock and South here, and many more
" whose works live after them," without feeling
that this place is indeed a sacred shrine.

Richmond Bridge.

One of the most interesting roads in England,
from its historical associations, crosses the
Thames over Richmond Bridge. The town of
Richmond itself is full of interest, and the whole
district is studded with attractions of the most
picturesque kinds. Besides the Royal Family
of England, for many generations, it has been
the residence of Bolingbroke, Pope, Thomson,
Sir Joshvia Reynolds, Horace Walpole, Garrick,
and Colman. Thomson's remains were interred
in Richmond Church, as were also those of
Edmiuid Kean. Perhaps in England there is no
single view so beautiful as that obtained from
Richmond Hill; nay, it is even claimed that
there is no view more beautiful in the world.
Such is the opinion expressed by many foreigners
who have beheld the landscape attractions of
many lands. No doubt there is much scenery
more magnificent, broader, more extensive in
every Avay, but none so lovely within similar
limits.

Ilfracombe.

Ilfracombe is a parish, seaport, and market
town in Devonshire, 48 miles I^.W. by N. of
Exeter. It is at the northern extremity of the
county, bordering on Bristol Channel. The
town is chiefly important as a resort for pleasure
seekers and invalids, who use its warm baths ;
and as a haven for wind-bound vessels, which
can put in here when it is dangerous for them to
enter the mouth of the Taw. Nature and art
seem to jointly combine in forming the harbour,
which appears like a natural basin, and is almost
surrounded by craggy heights, overspread with

foliage. On three sides the rocks rise in a semi-
circular sweep ; on the fourth, a bold mass of
rock stretches nearly half way across the mouth
of the recess, afl:ording pi'otection to the little
cove from the northern tempest. This rock,
which is called the Lantern Hill, and is situated
on the north side of the harbour, rises nearly to
a point, and beai's on its summit a lighthouse,
somewhat in the style of an ecclesiastical struc-
tiu'e. There is a pier he^e 850 feet in length,
which was partly built hy Sir Bourchier Wrey,
the lord of the manor.

Dartmouth C&stle.

Dartmouth Castle is not large, and but thinly
mounted with cannon. It stands in a situation
highly beautiful, and is siirrounded by a
number of rich oaks, from the midst of which,
adding greatly to the picturesque scene, spring
up the tower and spire of a small church.
" The view towards the mouth of the harbour,"
observes Dr. Maton, " exhibits such a happy
assemblage of objects for a picture, that it is,
perhaps, scarcely to be exceeded. A rocky knoll,
projecting from the shore, nT^kes an admirable
fore-ground. One of the side screens is formed
by the picturesque castle with the adjoining
church, just emerging from a fine wood, which
em'iches the right-hand side ; the other, a high
promontory, with a fort at its feet ; whilst the
main sea appears in front through a narrow
opening, and leaves nothing for the imagination
to wish for in the composition." The vestiges of
another castle, of a circular form, more ancient,
but not so strong, are visible at the south end of
the town.

Hornsey Church.

Hornsey is a parish and village in Pinsbury
division of the himdred of Ossulstone, the former
including the hamlets of Crouch End, Muswell
Hill, Stroud Green, a considerable part of High-
gate, and a part of Pinehley Common. It is
remarkable for its rural character. The circum-
jacent country is eminently attractive, by its
soft ranges of hills : and the New River, which
meanders through the parish, forms, at many
points, a beautiful object. Hornsey Church is a
plain structure of stone, erected about the year
1500. At the west end is a weighty square to'wei*,
with graduated buttresses, and an octagonal
embattled turret at one angle. The interior
comprises a chancel, nave, and south aisle. The
aisle is divided from the nave by a range of
pillars, supporting broad, but pointed arches.
Here are numerous monuments, but none of a
very striking character.

Cool. — A countryman took his seat at an
hotel table opposite a gentleman who was
indulging in a bottle of wine. Supposing the
wine to be common property, our unsophis-
ticated country friend helped himself to it
with the gentleman's glass. "That's cool,"
exclaimed the owner of the wine, indignantly.
"Yes," replied the other, "I should think
there was ice in it.' '

The Protective Effect of Vaccination.

Dr.Henry Tomkins. medical superintendent of
the fevei' hospital belonging to the Manchester
Royal Infirmary at Monsall, in a paper which he
read at Owen's College, said: — ''The most
striking of all evidence is, perhaps, Uthat
derived from the smallpox hospitals themselves.
Here the protective influence of vaccination is
seen and proved in a manner beyond alhcavil.
At Highgate, ^lunng an experience of ""iO years,
no nurse or servant having been re-vaccinated
has ever contracted disease, and evidence of the
same character I can myself bring forward, for
during the whole time that I have.had charge of
the fever hospital more than a thousand cases of
smallpox have passed under my care, yet no
sjrvant, nurse, porter, or other person engaged
t'lere, has, after re-vaccination, ever taken it,
though exposed daily to infection in iti most
concentrated form. One woman, a laundress
who escaped vaccination, took the disease and
died ; one nurse, who some years before had
sallered from smallpox, and was then considered
protected, had a very mild attack ; and this
summer a Avorkman, who did not live on the
premises, but came in to work as a painter, was
not vaccinated, and had rather a severe attacsi ;
and still more recently a servant, who by an
oversight was allowed to go about her work three
days before being vaccinated, had, before the
latterhad run its course, a slight abortive attack.
Again, among all the students who during the
p ist two years have attended the hospital for
clinical instructions, not one has suffered, all
hiving been re-vaccinated before being per
mitted to enter the smallpox wards. And in
their case the false argument which opponents cf
vaccination have brought forward to explain the
immunity enjoyed by nurses and others in
attendance on the sick, viz., that constant Inter-
course and exposure to infection renders them
proof against it by the system becoming inured
to the poison, cannot be applied, as these gentle-
men attend the hospital only a few hours once a
week. I d fy the most enthusiastic or con-
pcientious of anti-vaccinators to produce evidence
like this on his side of the question, or to bring
forward even half a dozen persons, choose them
whence he may, who have not been protected
against smallpox, and expose them as the
students are exposed, without more or less of the
number taking the disease. Facts such as these
should convert the most ardent anti-vaccinator
from his folly, and convince him that aweaponof
defeiceso powerful as vaccination should not be
left to the ])leasure of the individual, but that
the State has the right and duty to look after its
mos thorough performance."

The Wonders of Physios.
\Yliat mere assertion will make any man
believe that in one second of time, in one beat of
tho pendulum of a clock, a ray of light travels
over 192,000 miles, and would, therefore, per-
form the tour of the world in about the same
time that it requires to wink with our eyelids,
and in much less than a swift runner occupies
in taking a single stride ! What mortal can be
made to believe, without demonstration, that
the sun is almost a million times larger than
the earth P and that, although so remote from us
that a cannon ball shot directly towards it and
maintaining its full sp ed would be twenty years

in reaching it, it yet affects the earth by its
attraction in an inappreciable instant of time ?
Who would not ask for demonstration when told
that a gnat's wing, in its ordinary flight, beats
many hundred times in a second ? Or, that there
exists animated and regularly organised beings,
many thousands of whose bodies laid close
together would not extend an inch? But what
are these to the astonishing truths which modern
optical inquiries have disclosed, which teach us
that every point of a medium through which a
ray of light passes is effected with a succession
of periodical movements, regularly recurring at
equal intervals, no less than 500 millions of
times in a single second ? That it is by such
movements communicated to the nerves
of our eyes that we see— nay, more, that it is
the difference in the frequency of their recur-
rence which affects us with the sense of tlie
diversity of colour — that, for instance, n
acquiring the sensation of redness our eyes are
affected 482 millions of millions of times, and of
violet 707 millions of millions of times per
second P Do not such things sound more like
the ravings of a madman than the sober con-
clusions of people in their waking senses P
They are, nevertheless, conclusions to which
any one may most certainly arrive who will only
be at the trouble of examining the chain of
reasoning by which they have been obtained.

Superstitions of Sailors.

Sailors, as is well known, have a gru^t
antipathy to commencing a voyage on a Friday,
and even although the weather and tide may be
exceptionally in their favour, they prefer to
postpone setting sail till the following day.
Thvis, as Southey justly remarks, many a good
ship has lost that tide which might hive led to
fortune, because the captain and the crew
thought it unlucky to begin their voyage on a
Friday. In this respect, however, they are not
different from other classes, their being in most
countries a widespread aversion to this day.
Indeed, in France this superstition is carried to
such an extravagant height, that not only is th,e
number of travellers by rail much smaller thatii"
on other days, but the difference is also
materially felt in the receipts of the omnibuses.
That this superstition retains its hold on the
seafaring community was prove I in the year
1871, when, in consequence of the loss of the ill-
fated turret ship Captain, which had left port on
a Friday, the Agincourt, in order to satisfy the
clamour of the crew, did not leave Gibraltar
on tlie presumedly fatal day. The departure of
the last-named warship on the Saturday did
not prevent her strikins on the Pearl Rock a
short time afterwards. This fact might perhaps
stagger Jack's faith for a moment ; but super-
stition is tougher than actual experience in
many of its phases, and Friday will still be a
black-letter day in the sailor's calendar Even
at the present day. too, many a sailor shudders
to commence his voyage if he should happen to
sneeze on the left side at the moment of em-
barking ; whereas to sneeze on the right side is
thought to betoken a favourable voyage. It is
considered, moreover, a very unlucky occurrence
if anyone accidentally numbers the sailors on
board — on the same principle, no doubt that
many persons have a superstitious dread of
counting their gaius.— Leisure Hour.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Whether by accident or design— no one can
now tell— the inclination of the structure makes
it look and feel to the visitor as if it were about
to fall. It is 180 feet high, and 13 feet out of the
perpendicular. This is stated everywhere, and
is no doubt true ; but I suppose there are many
persons who, like myself, expected to see a
building standing erect, the centre of whose top
was outside the centre of gravity. This is not
the case by any means. It is true that a rope
fallingfrom the centre of the top would strike the
wall at the bottom of the tower side ; but the rope
would not fall outside the tower wall. In a short
time I satisfied myself and two other visitors of
this fact. The apparent contradiction of the
law of nature disappears then m a moment.
Taking the building as a whole— letting a line
fall from the centre of the top— if this line fell
outside of the base, in that case the building
would violate the law of gravity if it remained
standing. I believe the architect planned this
optical delusion. There are no signs of any
giving way in the structure — no crack or crevice,
gives evidence of rapid or slow settling of the
walls. The architect knew very well how
easily the eye can be deceived. The firmness of
the masonry, the gradual ascent, the symmetry
of the whole, prove beyond a doubt that it was
built as it now stands. The walls below are
very thick, and unless these should give way
there is but one other method by which the
building could be overthrown. If the stones
were to slip from their places then little by
little it would be dislodged ; but the whole
structure is keyed and bolted and cemented into
a solid mass. If it leaned nine feet more than
it does, then it would fall, because the sum of
its weight would fall outside of the centre of
gravity. The mystery disappears at once when
we examine it : but the curious effect upon one's
nerves in making the ascent and standing on
the top is nevertheless real. — Correspondent of
American paper.

The Holy City of Kairouan.

Kairou^n was founded about twelve centuries
ago by the immediate followers of the Prophet
Mahomet, it having been at first a halting place
for some scattered parties of his adherents
whom his death had dispersed. Kairouan is the
same word which we have corrupted into
caravan — a body of travellers — and thus the
derivation of the city's name is obvious. The
bones of many of those who spoke and lived and
fought with the Prophet have lain within the
city undisturbed through all these twelve
hundred years, in spite of the varying fortunes
of cause and of country. It is easy to
understand how the presence of these relics
renders the city which contains them holy ; and
so jealously guarded is the sanctity of their
precincts that very few Christians have ever
heen admitted within the walls. The few
European travellers who have entered Kairouan
have (with one solitary exception) been
authorised to do so by the reigning sovereign of
the country, have been the bearers of letters of
recommendation to the Governor of the Holy
City, and have been accompanied to its gates by
a mounted escort, and in later times usually, as
an additional security, by a dragoman of the

consul of their own nation. Kairouan was
formerly the capital of all the Barbary States.
It is built entirely of brick, with the exception
of the great mosque, of which I shall have to
speak presently. The city walls which are
thick and strong, are of the same material.' As
a defence against modern artillery, they are
probably not worth speaking of at all : but
without that, even a strong and well armed
force would find it difficult to make Kairouan
open its gates, if a handful of determined
defenders had resolved to keep them closed.
The population is about fifteen thousand souls,
but there is this peculiarity about the place,
that by day there is always neafly double that
number within its-walls. Kairouan is in the
centre of a district containing the flower of the
tribes— the busiest, the best mounted, the most
prosperous— who throng its streets from dawn
to dark, bringing their own products for sale,
and buying largely of the goods manufactured
in the city. It is, in fact not only a Holy City,
but, for the Arabs, a great business centre.
There is an important market there for sheep,
cattle, and all beasts of draught or burthen,
especially camels ; and this is held daily in a
great open square in the city, and not on one
day in the week only, as is the case in most of
the Tunisian towns or villages Avhere such
markets are held. The staple products of the
town are articles in brass and copper, Avoollen
goods, and hand-made carpets of fine quality.
For these Kairouan has been celebrated
almost from the time of its foundation twe've
centuries back. Among the tombs of Kairouan,
some of which are fine edifices externallj, but
which, of course, no Christian is allowed to ap-
proach, are those of the barber of the Prophet,
and of the niece of Sidi Ameer, Mahomet's
trusted minister and friend.— ^ZZ the Year

MisLEADiNa Names and Woeds. — The
Providence Journal calls attention to some
curiosities of misnomer. Black lead is not lead
at all, but a compound of carbon and a small
quantity of iron. Brazilian grass never grew in
Brazil, and is not grass ; it is nothing but stripes
of palm leaf. Burgundy pitch is not pitch, and
does not come from Burgundy ; the greater part
of it is resin and palm oil. Catgut is made from
the entrails of sheep. Cuttle-bone is not bone,
but a kind of chalk once enclosed in the fossil
remains of extinct specimens of cuttle-fish.
German-silver was not invented in Germany,
and does not contain a particle of silver.
Cleopatra's Needle was not erected by the
Egyptian queen, nor in her honour. Pompey's
Pillar had no historical connection with Pom-
pey in any Avay. Sealing-wax does not contain
a particle of wax, but is composed of Venice
turpentine, shellac, and cinnabar. The tube-
rose is no rose, l»ut a species of polyanthus.
Turkish baths did not originate in Turkey, and
are not baths, but heated chambers. Whalebone
is not bone, and is said not to possess a single
property of bone.

A literary lady, expressing to Dr. Johnson her
approbation of his Dictionary, and in particular,
her satisfaction at his not admitting into it any
improper words. " No, madam," replied he, "I
hope I have not soiled my fingers ; I find, how-
ever, that you have been looking for them."

Tornadoes in America.

The destructive effect of a recent tornado
in Minnesota led the editor of the American
Architect to invite information from various
sources as to this class of phenomena Among
the contributions is a valuable collation of data
by Gen. Hazen, of the Signal Service. It ap-
pears that in the passage of those cyclones or
tornadoes, wind pressures of various amounts,
from 181b. to 1121b. per square foot, have been
demonstrated by destruction of bridges, brick
buildings, &c. The upward pressures are some-
times as great as the horizontal, and even
greater. Downward pressures or movements of
wind have not been clearly proved. Upward
velocities of 135 miles per hour seem to be not
unusual, and horizontal velocities of 80 miles
have been recorded with the anemometer. The
destructive wind velocities are confined to
very small areas. A destruction of fences, trees,
&c., is often visible over a path many miles long,
and a few hundred yarJs wide ; but the path of
greatest violence is very much narrower, The
excessive cases above referred to are observed
only in small isolated spots, less than l^Oft.
square, unequally distributed along the middle
of the track. Thus, in very large buildings, only
a small part is subject to destructive winds. In
different parts of thi^ area of maximum severity
the winds are simultaneously blowing in
different, perhaps opposite, directions, the
resultant tending not to overturn or carry off or
crush in, but rather to twist round a vertical
axis. Buildings are generally lifted and turned
round before being toria to pieces. As the
chances are very small that a building will be
exposed to the violent twisting action, it is
evidently the average velocity of rectilinear
winds within the path of moderate destruction
that it is most necessary to provide against in
ordinary structures. These winds may attain a
velocity of 80 miles an kour over an area, 1,00 'ft,
broad and generally blow from the south- vest,
the next in frequency blow from the north-
west. The time during which an object is
exposed to the same destructive winds varies
from six to 60 seconds ; the general average of a
large number of cases is 16 seconds. An ex-
posed building experiences but one stroke, like
the blow of a hammer, and the destruction is
done. Hence, in a suspension bridge, chimney,
or other structure liable to be set into destruc-
tive rhythmic vibrations, the maximum winds
do not produce such vibrations. The duration
of the heavy south-west or north-west winds
over the area of moderate destruction is rarely
over two minutes. The motion of translation of
the central spout of a tornado, in which there is
a strong vertical current, is, on an average,
at the rate of 30 miles an hour. The relative
frequency of tornadoes is, in order of decreasing
frequency, July, May, June . . . January,
December. In the geographical distribution of
247 tornadoes from 1794 to 1~;78, the largest
figures are obtained for New York (24).
Indiana (2>), Illinois, (20), Ohio and Georgia
(16 each). &c., but the records are fragmentary.
The largest number of tornadoes apparently
occur between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., the next
between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Reading. — No entertainment is so cheap as
reading, nor any pleasm-e so lasting.— iat/T/
Ilary Wortley Montague.

The Pall Mall Gazette tells the following
story of Turner on the authority of a living
artist. Turner happening one day to pass a
print shop noticed in the window a copy of one
of the engravings from his famous. " Liber
Studiorum." The print was in a very dh'ty,
ragged state, and Turner naturally felt aggrieved
at seeing the work of his hands in this dilapidated
condition. Entering the shop, he asked to see
the master, and when the ma'i came forward
Turner proceeded at once to blame him in no
measured terms for having neglected so valu-
able a print, and for having allowed it to become
so disfigured. The man protested that it was no
fault of his, as he did but offer the engraving
for sale in the same state in which he had bought
it from some other dealer. This did not satisfy
Turner, however, and he and the man continued
arguing in this fashion for some time, each
making the other more angry by contradiction.
At last the printseller lost all patience.
" Perhaps, sir," he said, " when you have quite
finished what you have to say you will kindly
tell me what you have to do with this engrav-
ing ? and what business is it of yours whether*
the print is clean or dirty?'' " This is what I
have to do with it," answered the enraged
artist: " It was I who drew the original of that
print, my name is Turner, and I did every line
of that engraving with my own hand. Now, do
you wonder that I am angry at seeing my work
in so disgraceful a state?" " Indeed, sir,"
replied the printseller, " so you are the great
artist himself. All my life long it has been my
wish that I might some day have the good
fortune to see Mr. Turner. And now that I
have seen him, I sincerely hope that I may
never see him any more."

The Salt NESS of the Sea is one of its
mostdistinctivecharacteristics. Besides muriate
of soda, it contains several other substances, as
muriatic and sulphuric acid, soda, manganese,
and sulphate of lime ; these ingredients give to
sea water that saltness and bitterness of taste
which render it' disagreeable and unfit for the
use of man. The sea waters do not hold in
solution equal amounts of saline matter, the
water as tested in one locality being in excess of
that in another. The degree of saltness in
particular localities varies from temporary
causes such as the violent tropical rains which
are collected in the great streams, and re'iurned
again to the ocean free of saline particles. In
several places it is found to be less salt at the
surface than at considerable depths ; and,
owing to the melting of large masses of ice, it is
said to be less salt near th*^. poles. The amount
of saline matter is greatest at a distance from the
shores, where the ocean is not diluted by the
volumes of fresh water brought down by rivers.

Hints on Health. - Any kind of fluid
largely taken at a meal, or soon after is
positively injurious to health. A dish of fresh
water should be kept in every room where the e
is a fire, especially an open fire. The water
absorbs the gas arising from the coal and other
impurities in the air. In clothing the great
thing is to vary the character and amount
according to the season, avoiding the extremes
of always being swathed m flannel, no matter
what the temperature, or of never wearing
flannel at all.

Some Queer Dishes.

Amongst mammals and birds, it is difficult to
; say what species are not eaten in the countries
? where they abound. Probably the big cats ani
I dogs would be exceptions, thoxxgh one hears now
I and then of mighty hunters broiling a steak
, from the lion which has just fallen a victim to
I their powder and shot ; but in China and other
parts of the East the smaller domestic varieties
are recognised luxuries of the table, and are
exposed for sale as such in the markets. In a
country so over-populated as China, every morsel
of any substance that is edible is eagerly sought
out and devoured, so that not only cats and
dogs, but rats, mice, slugs, and almost every
living thing in earth, air, or water, go to feed
the half-starved masses. Rats are split open,
dried, pressed, and powdered with a finely-
ground white bark, which gives them the ap-
pearance of haddocks as they hang in long
strings over the vendor's stall. The birds'
nests, convertible into soup, so often quoted,
must not be confounded with the industrial
products of our own starlings and thrushes,
which might be boiled a long time without
yielding much nourishment, unless the bird
happens to be inside ; edible nests really consist
of a kind of isinglass, and are constructed by a
small sea bird out of the gelatinous bones of
dead and decaying fish. Most of them are
brought from some caverns on the seashore
north of Shanghai; but they are not very
plentiful, and there is no great demand for
them. The soup is thick, slimy, and glutinous,
and is neither so nasty as might be expected
nor as nice as could be desired. I have been
vividly reminded of it in Brittany by a decoction
of '■ escargots edibles "—land snails. By-fche-
way, the dogs most in favour with the Chinese
as ''butcher-meat" are those curious hairless
ones, of which a good idea may be formed by
looking at the magnificent pair of E.ampoor
hounds presented by the Prince of Wales to the
Zoological Gardens in Regent's Park on his
return from India. How this hairless breed
originated is a mystery, but they are found in
many tropical countries, and are there usually
highly prized by their owners ; though
extremely delicate and susceptible of cold, they
appear to be free from disease — at any rate, the
skin is healthy and the baldness not in any way
dependent on existing morbid conditions The
tradition is that these naked creatures are the
descendants of the sacred dogs worshipped by
the ancient Egyptians ; and that the peculiarity
originated from their being kept perpetually in
the temples, and bred in and in for centuries. —

Lead Poisoning from Water and
Beer Pipes.

During a meeting of the Manchester Literary
and Philosophical Society, Mr. Wm. Thomson,
P.R.S.E., submitted some notes on the subject
of lead poisoning. He said that tin-lined lead
pipes are used to a large extent, and principally
in making communication between the beer in
the cask and the pump on the counters of beer
retailers. "Such pipes," he adds, "would
give the idea of safety, but it is clear that many
samples may be of such a nature as to con-
taminate beer with lead to a large extent, as

the beer contains a certain amount of free acid
which would in all probability be capable
of dissolving the lead ; and one would expect
that the person who consumes the first glass of
beer from the pump in the morning would get
that which had remained overnight in the pipe,
and would imbibe, therefore, a considerable
quantity— depending on the quality of the tin-
Iming — of the poisonous metal." In order to
test whether this was really the case, Mr.
Thompson obtained some samples of beer drawn
in the morning from pumps, and found ' ' a
considerable proportion of lead " to be present
in each. He obtained a number of samples of
tin-lined lead pipe from different manufacturers,
and tested the purity of the tin lining, but
failed to find one which was not contaminated
with lead, and which did not contaminate
water, when left in contact with it for two or
three days, to a greater or less extent. '' The
majority contained a large percentage of lead,
and polluted the water to a great extent." As
regards another kind, called " tinned-lead pipe,"
the inside of which is covered with a thin
coating of white metal to afford protection
against the action of water, Mr. Thomson finds
as a matter of fact this coating is a mixture of
lead and tin. He expresses the opinion that
tin-coated lead pipe is much better adapted
for use in making communication with the
water mains in large towns than the ordinary
lead pipe. Testing their respective values with
water containing a small proportion of nitrate
of ammonia, he found , at the end of three hours,
that the water from the tinned-lead pipe con-
tained a large proportion of lead in solution.
In some boroughs this tinned-lead pipe con-
tained only a trace of lead, whilst that from the
ordinary lead pipe contained a large proportion
of lead in solution. In some boroughs this
tinned-lead pipe is the only kind allowed to be
used for making communications with the main.
In other places, Manchester included, ordinary
lead pipe is generally employed. Mr. Thomson
has lately observed that the lead pipes which
have been in use in Manchester for many years
contaminate water left m them overnight to a
considerable extent. In Salford, where the
tinned pipes are employed, he finds the water
slightly contaminated with lead, but much less
so than in Manchester. His experience during
the last few years serves to show "that
aerated waters are contaminated with lead much
more often, and in many cases to a much greater
extent, than one would expect, considering the
care which is bestowed by good firms on the
manufacture of these articles." He advises that
the ordinary carbonate of soda, made by
Solvay's ammonia process, should be used in the
preparation of aerated waters, and that the
salts which it is impossible to obtain free from
lead should be dissolved in water and filtered or
boiled with animal charcoal.

The oldest pieces of wrought iron which are
known are probably, according to Fortschr der
Zeit, the sickles which were found by Belzoni
under the pedestal of the Sphinx in Karnac,
near Thebes, the blades which Wyse found
imbedded in the wall of the Great Pyramid, and
the piece of a saw which Layard dug up at
Nimrod. These remains are novr owned by the
British Museum.

Eyesight, Good and Bad,

It is not a little remarkable that altliougli
eyesight is perhaps the most valuable of the
senses, the majority of th-^ pwblic, so far from
taking especial care of it, run great risks of
losing it. The eye is the most wonderful organ
in the body ; but ninety -nine persons out of a
hundred are only aware of its value when it
gives painful evidence of its presence, or,
through failing powers, compels them to pay-
some little attention to a possession which should
never be neglected.

Every eye-surgeon is day after day repeating to
successive patients precepts and injunctions
which should be not only universally known, but
obeyed, for though, there are many manuals on
the care of the eyes, it is remarkable with what

Eersistence old and erroneous ideas retain their
old on the minds of even intelligent persona.
Likening the eye to the photographer's camera,
the image produced on the retina is precisely
analogous to that which is produced on the
sensitive plate. By means of the optic nerve,
the retina is in dii*ect connection with tiie brain,
which interprets the visual appearances and
completes the act of seeing— how, we do not
at present know. It is clear that if the image
on the retina is blurred or imperfect, the brain
cannot remedy the defect ; accurate seeing is
impossible, though as a matter of fact the
brain does do a great deal to compensate for
the imperfect optical condition of the eye which
exists to a greater or a lesser extent in the
majority of mankind.

The image of an object falls, as we have
said, on the retina in the normal eye ; but eyes
differ, and it is only when the focal length and
the axial length of the eye are precisely the
same that the focus of the parellel rays proceed-
ing from the object falls pi'ecisely upon the
retina. Such an eye is said to be emmetropic,
or in measure, while one in which the axial
length does not correspond with the focal is
ametropic, or " out of measure." The eye may
be out of measure in two opposite directions ;
if the axial length is shorter than the focal
the rays of light will be brought to a
focus behind the retina, and we have what is
called the flat-eye, or hypermetropia ; if, on the
contrary, the ball of the eye is too long from
back to front, the rays are brought to a focus in
front of the retina, and we have a case of
myopia, or short-sight. Hypermetropia is cor-
rected by the use of convex lenses, which
converge the rays and bring them to a forcus on
the retina, while myopia is corrected by con-
cave lenses, which diverge the rays and bring
them to a focus on the more distant retina.
It is clear that as the amount of hypermetropia
and myopia must vary in degree, it is of the first
importance that spectacles should be specially
adapted to the eyes they are intended to assist.

^The modern system of measuring the power
the sight is as accurate and as simple as need
be, for it is based on a unit represented by the
French metre, or say forty English inches.
That is called one dioptric, and the eye which
can distinguish clearly a certain-sized type at
that distance is considered normal. No. 2 lens is
of double the power of the dioptric and half its
focal length ; that is its focal length is half a
metre, or twenty inches. Hence it is equal to
the old l-20th, and No. 4 is the old 1-lOth, and
so on, half and quarter dioptrics being intro-

duced in the lower part of the scale to meet the
requirements of practice. ^ The plus sign is
used to signify convex lenses, and the minus
sign for concave. Thus opticians have an
easily-understood nomenclature and scale to
which they can readily work. "With the human
eye we have what is termed a noar-point and a
far-point, the former being the closest distanGe
at which vision is clear, and the latter the
jfarthest. Between these two points the
accommodation of the eye is brought about by
til. 3 action of the ciliary muscle upon the
crystalline lens, the curves of which it alters to
adapt them to the distance of the object to be
viewed. As we advance in life the crystalline
lens loses its elasticity, and the power cf
accommodation diminishes, until at the age of
seventy -five the eye become passive and the near
point is removed to an infinite distance, and we
have the phenomenon known as presbyopia or
aged sight, which occurs in all eyes sooner or
later.

The Greatest of Engineering Feats.

The Eorth Bridge is regarded by some persons
as likely to be the greatest engineering feat of
either ancient or modern times, Wilh refer-
ence to its gigantic dimensions, or rather its
enormous height, attention has just been
drawn to it in comparison with Tennant's
chimney at St. Rollox Chemical "Works, which
is 430 ft. high from the level of the ground. - If
100 ft. be added to that, then there will be
obtained the height of one of the piers for the
bridge, that on Inch Garvie, the small island in
the centre of the Forth where the structure is
to be reared. Then, placing another pillar or
column of the same height at Sighthill Cemetery
Gate, and one at the Asylum for the Blind—
the former to the north of the chimney, and the
other in a direct line to the south— some idea of
the three piers may be formed which are
intend d to support the suspension bridge, these
piers being 1,600 feet separate from each other.
It is thus seen that there are to be 1 wo spsns
used in bridging the river. Again, it is said,
imagine the bridge suspended at such an
elevation (180ft. above high-w^ater mark) so as
to allow the largest ship afloat to sail under-
neath, and a scene is presented to the mind
enough to make even the boldest holdhis breath.
The Tay Bridge is a grand affair, but it sinks
into insignificance when compared with the
Forth ^viA^e.— Engineering.

Oeigix of the Swiss "Watchmaking
Trade.— The history of the introduction of the
first watch to Chaux-de-Fonds is interesting
enough. It was brought thither, towards the
end of the seventeenth centurj, by a cattle
dealer, and excited much wonder among the
herdsmen and charcoal burners. But, alas, it
had not the gift of perpetual motion, and one
day there was great distress for the wheels had
stopped. Thereupon a young smith named
Daniel Jean Richard, who was of an inquiring
turn of mind, set himself to take the little
machine to pieces. He succeeded perfectly,
restored it to life, and thenceforward was
possessed with the desire of making watches
himself. After a thousand trials and difficulties
success crowned his labours, and in the end he
became the father and founder of what is now a
most important mnxmidiCinve.— London Society.

Star-Lore.

The Bushmen, almost the lowest tribe of
South Africa, have the same star- lore and much
the same myths as the Greeks, Australians,
Egyptians, and Esquimaux.

According to Dr. Bleek, "stars, and even
tke sun and moon, were once mortals
on earth, or even animals or inorganic sub-
stances, which happened to get translated to
the skies. The sun was once a man, Avhose
armpit radiated a limited amount of light round
his house. Some children threw him into the
skv, and there he shines." The Homeric hymn
lo'Helios, in the same way, as Mr. Max Miiller
observes," looks on the sun as a half god, almost
a hero, who had once lived on earth." The
pointers of the Southern Cross were " two men
who were lions," just as Callisto, in Arcadia,
Vy^as a woman who was a bear. It is not at all
rare in those queer philosophies, as in that of the
Scandinavians, to And that the sun or moon has
been a man or woman. In Australian fable
the moon was a man, the sun a woman of
indifferent character, who appears at dawn in a
coat of red kangaroo skins, the present of an
admirer. In an old Mexican text the moon was
a man, across whose face a god threw a rabbit,
thus making the marks in the moon. Among
the Esquimaux the moon is a girl who
always flies from the cruel brother, the sun,
because he disfigured her face. Among the New
Zealanders and North American Indians the
sun is a great beast, whom the hunters trapped
and thrashed with cudgels. His blood is used
in some New Zealand incantations. The Red
Indians, as Schoolcraft says, " hold many of the
planets to be transformed adventurers." The
lowas "believed stars to be a sort of living
creatures." One of them came down and talked
to a hunter, and showed him where to find game.
The Gallinomeros of Central California, accord-
to Mr. Bancroft, believe that the sun and moon
were made and lighted up by the hawk and the
coyote, who one day flew into each other's
faces in the dark , and were determined to prevent
such accidents in future. But the very oddest
example of the survival of the notion that the
stars are men or women is found in the " Pax "
of Aristophanes. Trygaeus in that comedy has
just made an expedition to heaven. A slave
meets him and asks him, " Is not the story true,
then, that we become stars when we die ?" The
answer is '• Certaiiijy ;" and Trygaeus points out
the star into which los of Chios has just been
metamorphosed. Aristophanes is making fun of
some popular Greek superstition. But that
very superstition meets us in New Zealand.
" Heroes," says Mr. Taylor, "were thought to
become stars of greater or less brightness,
accordiag to the number of their victims slain
in fight."— Co7'nhiU Magazine.

About Fleas.

The perfect insects, as is well kiiwvn, feed
upon the blood of warm-blooded animals, and,
as a rule, each species of flea is allotted to
some particular species or group of species of
mammals or birds. The insects conceal them-
selves amongst the hairs or feathers of the
animal on whose blood they are destined to feed,
and generally stick to this comfortable and con-
venient dwelling place for the remainder of
their joint lives ; but it is curious to see how

soon after the host is killed, the parasites
escape from its body and show manifest signs of
perturbation. The common flea is the best
known species, from its habit of drawing its
supplies of food from our own persons. The
fleas of the dog and cat are distinct, and are
chiefly confined to those animals, although they
do not disdain to vary their diet occasionally
with human blood. Other species are still more
particularly limited to certain animals, such as
the squirrel, the hedgehog, the mole, mice and
rats, and bats. The common fowl also has its
particular flea ; another infests pigeons, whilst
others are found m the nests of small birds and
swallows. The largest British species lives on
the badger, and measuring an eighth of an inch
long; an American species is two lines in
length, and a still larger species is described as
infesting the Australian porcupine ant-eater.
The common flea varies a good deal in size in
different localities. Very large specimens are
said to occur about the bathing accommodations
of some watering places, and the flea of the old
reading room of the British Museum used to be
noted for its magnitude and blocdthirstiness.
The muscular strength of the flea is exceedingly
great. They perfoim the most astonishing
leaps, covering at a single bound a space many
times the length of their own bodies, a faculty
which enables them to vanish in the most
wonderful manner at the approach of the finger
of an intending captor. This extraordinary
muscular energy has been taken advantage of in
a very curious manner. Fleas have been
trained to drag small coaches and other objects
to which they were harnessed, and to perform
other tricks, when they were exhibited to an
admiring public under the title of "industrious
fleas." — CasseU's Natural History.

Sanguinary Character of Scottish
History.

There is a character in Scottish history which
renders it . attractive to some persons and
repulsive to others. The story of the kings and
of the nation is gloomy, turbulent, sanguinary.
The chronicle from Kenneth MacAlpine to
Mary Stuart is one of crimes, son'ows, and
misfortunes. Few of the Scottish kings died on
their thrones or in their beds Crownless
monarchs yield their last breath in captivity, or
are. killed in battle, or they are thrust from
greatness into a monastery, From the successor
of Kenneth down to Donald Bane and Duncan
II. — a period of nearly a century and a half— no
one king of Scotland came to a peaceful end.
Of the dozen and a half of succeeding monarchs,
the roil of whose names closes with that of Mary
Stuart, a few passed away in peace, and
regretted b.y their people. But destiny seemed
to pursue the latter of those sovereigns with
insatiable severitj'. The name of James is of
singularly ill omen on this roll. James I.,
after a captivity of a score years in England,
was murdered in his own country. A cannon
ball carried off James II. at the siege of Rox-
burgh ; the third of the name was slain fi.ving
from battle, where his son was his adversary ;
the fourth fell at Flodden ; the fifth died of grief
at the failure of his attempt against England.
This last was the prophet-king, who said so
mournfully, when he heard of the birth of his
sole child, Mary, " Tbe kingdom cam' wi' a lass,
an' it wull gae wi' a lass. — Athenceum,

Insec s in Birds.

A simple and perfectly safe plan of rid-
ding birds and their ca^es of insect posts,
and which I have proved with invaluable
success, is as follows : Take a piece of soft white
calico, large enough to cover the cage all round
about two-thirds down ihe wires, cut a hole in
the middle for the suspending ring to pass
through. When the bird goes to roost place the
calico over the cage, so that it hangs as close as
possible all round. In the morning, as soon as
any light is admitted into the rooiu carefully
remove the cloth, upon which a number of
small red or black insects will be seen ; plunge
this into boiling water; during the day take it
out and dry it thoroughly ; repeat this opera-
tion for several mornings until no insects
appear. I have not tried it over a perforated zinc
roof, which would prevent the cloth hanging, so
close to the cage, and the insects might lodge on
the roof instead of passing through to the cloth.
AYith the wire tops I have never known it to
fail in clearing both the cage and the bird.—

St. Valentine's Day.

A stern moralist has considered that " the
custom of choosing or sending a valentine is a
ralic of Paganism," but this opinion is so harsh
and ill-supported that we much prefer to
believe that it is a mere relic of that nature
religion which was undobtedly the primitive
form of worship in north-western Europe as
elsewhere, and sprang from the recognition of
the peculiarity of the season. " About this
time," to quote Bailej'^'s Dictionary, " the birds
choose their mates, and probably thence came
the custom of young men and maidens choosing
valentines or special loving friends on that day."
Shakspere also alludes, in his " Midsummer
Night's Dream," to the old saying that birds
begin to couple on St. Valentine's Day —

St. Valentine is past ;
Begin these wood-birds but to couple now.

The youths of Ancient Rome were wont, we
know, during the Lupercalia, celebrated in
February, amongst other things, to put the
names of young women in a box, from which
they were drawn as chahce directed. Later on
the Christian clergy, unable to extirpate what
theg^ considered a heathenish practice, com-
l)romised matters by giving it a religious aspect,
substituting the names of particular saints for
those of the women, a custom still common at
the present time in the Roman Catholic Church.
"Wheth-^r or not the feast of Saint Valentine was
known to our Saxon forefathers history does not
relate, but it is sufficiently evident that the
practice must have spread rapidly in the days
of the Norman. Chaucer, who died in 1400,
and Lydgate both wrote verses in connection
with the daj--, while in 1415, Charles, Duke of
Orleans, who was taken prisoner at Agincourt,
and for several years confined in the Tower of
London, wrote the first poetical love billets that
have been handed down to us. Considering
the time these were composed, some being in
French, others in English they must be allowed
to possess considerable merit .... That
eccentric old diarist, Mr. Pepys, notices Samt
Valentine's Day, thus showing how common

the practice of observing it then was, and in his
diary for February 14, 1667. the following entry
will be found ; "' 1 am also this year my wife's
valentine, and it will cost me £5." " I find."
he adds, "that Mrs. Pierce's little girl is my
valentine, she having drawn me, wliich I was
not sorry for, it easing me oi something more
which 1 must have given to others." The game
entry also shows that it was then thy fashion,
having just been introduced, to draw mottoes
as well as names. In those days, indeed, the
custom of valentine choosing appears to have
been not only veiy general, but also very
expensive, as may be judged from the following
further entry from Mr. Pepy's diary in reference
to Miss Stuarts jewels : ''The Duke of York,
being once her valentine, did give her a jewel of
about £800, and my Lord Mandeville, lier
valentine this year, a ring of about £500."
If the foregoing entry may be accepted as a
fair sample of what was generally expected of
valentines in those days, the post would
certainly appear to have been no sinecure, as
far at least as the pocket is concerned.

Optical Delusions in Arctic Seas.

One can scarcely, without having experienced
it, form any idea of the optical illusions which
are produced by mist in regions where the size
of the objects which are visible through the fog
is not known beforehand, and thus does not
give the spectator an idea of the distance. Our
estimate of distance and size in such cases
depends wholly on accident. The obscure con-
tours of the fog, concealed objects themselves,
besides, are often by the iirnorance of the
spectator converted into whimsical fantastic
forms. During a boat journey in Hinloopen
Strait I once intended to row among drift ice
to an island at a distance of some few kilometres.
"When the boat started the air was clear ; but
while we were employed, as best we could, in
shooting sea-fowl for dinner, all was wrapt in a
thick mist, and that so unexpectedly that we
had not time to take the bearings of the island.
This led to a not altogether pleasant row, by
guess, among the pieces of ice that were drifting
about in rapid motion in the sound. All exerted
themselves as much as possible to get sight of
the island, whose beach would afford us a safe
resting place. While thus occupied, a dark
border was seen through the mist at the horizon.
It was taken for the island which we were bound
aor, and it was not at first considered remark-
tble that the dark border rose rapidly, for we
fhought that the mist was dispersing, and in
consequence of that more of the land was visible.
Soon two white snow-fields, that Ave had not
observed before, were seen on both sides of the
Ian I ; and immediately after this was changed
to a sea monster, resembling a walrus-head, as
large as a mountain. This got life and motion,
and finally sank, all at once, to the head of a
nommon walrus, which lay on a piece of ice in
the neighbourhood of the boat ; the white tusks
formed the snow-fields, and the dark-brown
round head the mountain. Scarce was this illusion
gone when one of the men cried out " Land
right ahead— high land !" We now all saw
before us a high Alpine region, with mountain
peaks and glaciers ; but this too sank a moment
afterwards, all at once, to a common ice-border,
blackened with earth. In the spring of 1873
Palander and I, with nine men, made a sledge
journey round North-east Land. In the course
of this journey a great many bears was seen and
killed. When a bear was seen while we were
dragging our sledges forward, the train com-
monly stood still ; and, not to frighten the bear,
all the men concealed themselves behind the
sledges, with the exception of the marksman,
who, squatting down in some convenient place,
waited till his prey should come sufficiently
within range to be killed with certainty. It
happened once during foggy weather on the ice
at Wahlenberg Bay that the bear that was ex-
pected, and had been clearly seen by all of us,
instead of approaching with bis usual supple zig-
zag movements, and with his ordinary attempts to
nose himself to a sure insight into the fitness of
the foreigners for food, just as the marksman
took aim, spread out gigantic wings and flew
away in the form of a small ivory gull. Another
time during the same sledge journey we heard
from the tent in which we rested, the cook who
was employed outside, cry out, "A bear, a great
bear^. No ! a reindeer, a very little reindeer !"
The same instant a well-directed shot was fired,
and the bear-reindeer was found to be a very

small fox, which thus paid with its life for the
honour of having for some moments played the
part of a big animal. From tliese accounts it
may be seen how difficult navigation among
drift-ice must be in unknown waters. — " The
Voyage of the Vega," by A. E. Nordenskiold.

A Lost Dianfiond.

A youth of Pawtucket, R.I., who wears a
seven-hundred dollar diamond breast-pin, on
retiring the other night threw his shirt on the
floor without removing the valuable jewel.
The next morning the pin was missing, and a
vigilant search failed to reveal its locality. It
happened that there was about the house a hen,
—a setting hen, kept in the house on account of
her occupation and because of the cold weather,
and the thought occurred to the father that the
pin had become detached from the garment
when it was thrown down, and the hen, in her
wanderings, might have been attracted by this
shining valuable, and gobbled it down, For a
couple of days Biddy was kept close, not allowed
to go out of the house, and closely watched in
the hope of finding the missing diamond. But
no pin was found. Finally, on the third day, it
was decided to kill the hen, when sure enough,
in the gizzard was found the missing pin. The
gold setting was bent and scratched in the
efforts of the contents of the gizzard to digest
it, and one of the smaller diamonds was
missing, but four of the diamonds were all right,
and what promised to be a heavy loss was
averted.

Christmas Facts and Memoranda.

Many of the customs that have attended the
celebration of Christmas in the early ages of
Christianity have become obsolete. Among the
Christmas dishes most in vogue were a boar's
head stuck with rosemary, with an apple or an
orange in the mouth, plum porridge and mince
pies. Diocletian, who kept his court at In-
comedia, hearing that multitudes had i;;sembled
to celebrate the nativity of Christ, ordered the
church to be burned. His commands were
obeyed and all the inmates perished. The
Christmas of 1525 was called the " still Chnst-
mas," on account of the plague, which prevented
the King from holding any festival at Court.
The mortality was so great that half of thecitizens
of London are said to have died. The baptism
of Jesus was celebrated by the Eastern Church
as early as a.d. 220, and by the Western Church
as early as a.d. 330. Some authorities fix the
time earlier for the celebration by the Western
Church, and put it in the reign of Constantine.
Miracle plays and Scripture histories are
synonymous with Christmas. The miracle play
of " St. George and the Dragon." one of the first,
is still preserved. There is a town in Germany
where once in ten years all the inhabitants take
part in the representation of the life of Christ.
In the early courts of England, Christmas was
celebrated by arrangements made by the master
of the revels, who was appointed by the King
and was called the lord of misrule. Leland,
speaking of the Court of Henry VII., A.D., 1489,
mentions an abbot of misrule, who was created
for this purpose, who made much sport and did
right well his o^gq.— American Paper.

I he Fatal Last Week.

Towards midnight on December ^28, 1879, the
writer of these notes happened to be in a Scotch
newspaper office, and was thus addressed by one
of the staff : — " Singular thing ! we haven't had
any disaster to wind up the year with. There is
usually a great disaster at the finish — there or
thereabouts. Tli-e old year rarely leaves without

fiving the world a parting kick somewhere,"
[uUo!" he suddenly broke out ; "here's some-
thing and no mistake ! " Edinburgh train
signalled off from Tayport not arrived. Terrible
gale. Supposed accident on bridge."

The plunge of the train into the waters of
the Firth, the flash of a light seen from the
shore, the sudtien extinction of 70 lives— all these
particulars came out afterwards. But there was
enough to produce on the writer's mind a
superstitious apprehension which will never "be
eiSaced. The worst disasters at the close of
188G, unless we count the gale and snowstorm
from the effects of which all Europe is still
suffering, are that reported from Driffield, where
10 men were killed by the fall of a cage down the
shaft of a coalpit, and the sad lifeboat occur-
rence on the Lancashire coast, which resulted
in the drowning of the St. Anne's and the South-
port lifeboat crews, during a gallant attempt to
rescuethecrewofaGerman vessel, Atthe closeof
'85,the country was shocked by the Mardy colliery
accident, in the Rhondda Valley, by which 77
men were killed and the remainder of 900 had a
narrow escape. The year 1884 closed amid
the frightful ruin of the earthquakes in Spain,
in which more than a thousand persons perished
On the 27th of December, 1882, 40 persons were
killed and 50 injured by the fall of a chimney at
Sir H. Ripley's mills at Bradford. The close of
1881 was signalised by thequadruplicate collision
in Canonbury Tunnel. The Tay Bridge calamity
sufficiently darkens the last days of 1879. Thus
we may go back year after year upon the grue-
some record Eor at least three decades there is
an almost unbroken series of disasters by sea cr
land in the last week of the year ; we have space
to note only a. few of the more remarkable. It
was on the last but one of 1870, that the Ash-
tabula railway accident — very similar to the
Tay Bridge catastrophe— destroyed, by shock,
drowning, and burning, more than a hundred
lives. A day or two before five persons had been
killed and thirty injured at Arlesley siding on
the Great Northern Railway ; the station master
at Arlesley went mad on the spot. London
society was distressed on Christmas-day, 1875
by news of the droAvning of three nieces of the
late Mr. Russell Gurney, as well as the crew, by
the upsetting of a dehabeeah on the Nile ; while
only two days earlier the training ship Goliath
was burned, twenty-one boys perishing out of
480. Yet more sad was the close of 1874, when
the story of the emigrant ship Cospatrick reached
these shores. Of 500 souls on board, only five
were saved, and they were picked up only a few
hours before they must have succumbed. At
the same time— on the 24th of December-
occurred the Shipton railway accident, with its
terrible total of thirty-four dead and seventy
injured. Many people will remember the
harrowing story— we do not intend to repeat it—
of the sinking of the steam-tug Gipsy Queen in
the Tyne, and the drowning of eighteen of her
crew on the 26th of December, 1873. We pass
over the two preceding yeare with the bare

mention of the wreck of the English steamship
Germany and the loss of thirty lives at the
entrance of the Garonne, and the traction engine
accident in Glasgow with its havoc among a
crowd of children. The end of 1870 is memor-
able in the history of railway disasters. It is
not only that in the last week (on December 26)
eight persons were killed at Hatfi' Id, but there
had been a series of great fatalities from the end
of November; seven pei'sons being killed at
Harrow, five at Brockley Whins, and 14 near
Barnsley. without counting the injured. There
was also in the fatal last week of 1870 a gun-
powder explosion at Birmingham, killing seven-
teen persons outright and maiming or blinding
more than fifty others. On Christmas-day, 1860,
a whole family of six, the -wife and children of a
policeman, were burned to death in a street near
Burton Crescent. On Boxing-night foiirteen
persons were trampled upon or suffocated in a
mad fight for entrance into the pit of the Bristol
Theatre. That affair will perhaps be remembered
for the act that those who had managed to get
into the theatre knew nothing of what had
happened ; the performance went on to the end
before anybody but the manager and the police
knew that seventeen dead bodies were laid out
in the refreshment room. A terrible colliery
accident near St. Helens cost twenty-six poor
fellows their lives on December 80, 1868. Still
more fatal was the Merthyr Tydfil explosion at
the close of 1865 ; while to the account of that
time also must be put the foundering of the
London, with 220 souls , in the Bay of Biscay.
Then we come to the Moestig explosion in 1863,
the loss of the Lifeguard off Flamborough Head
(fifty-one lives) in 1862, the boiler explosion at
Hetton Colliery (twenty-three lives) in 1860, the
wreck of the Blervie Castle (fifty-six lives) in
1859. and the crushing of fifteen persons to death
at the A'icroria Theatre in 1858 ; all these
disasters occiirred in the last few days of the
year. Research back to a period beyond the
average memory reveals other examples of
this strange coincidence. It was on the last day
but one of 1808 that His Majesty's ship, Anson,
with her crew of 60, perished in Moiint's Bay.
It was on the 22nd of December, 1810, that the
Minotaur, 71 guns, was -wrecked on the Haak
Bank, with a loss of 360 hands. It was on the
fatal last week of 1811 that the three English
men-of-war, St. George, Defence, and Hero,
stranded on the coast of Jutland, and all the
crews, numbering about 2,000 men, with
Admiral Reynolds , were drowned, save only 18
seamen who, more dead than alive, were washed
ashore.

Those who like to philosophise upon the
phenomena of events may make what use thej'
please of this recital. It will be remembered
that the end of the year, in these latitudes at all
events, is a period when all the forces of nature
are warring against man ; a period of cold and
storms and depression and fog— resulting in
disasters by sea and land, on the railway, and in
the mine. It may be said that such accidents as
fires and panics in theatres are specially liable to
follow upon the peciiliar circumstances of the
season. But then it happens that the opening
of the new year has been singularly free from
calamity ; yet in January the natural conditions
are not appreciably different from those of
December. However, we purpose neither to
explain nor moralist.

The Oldest Republic.

The most ancient Republic in the world is
hat of San Marino, a little old world spot about
-en miles from the Adriatic Sea, and which is as
completely forgotten by the rest of the world as
3 the name of the first shipbuilder. Of all the
republics of the Italian middle ages this is the
3nly one Avhich is left. It has withstood
assaults from all sides and in all forms.
Moorish invaders, Italian condottieri, Papal
aggressors, the great first Napoleon himself even,
jiave failed one and all to pluck the astute
jMarinese from their lofty hill. The entire
population of the Republic is 8,000. all told, and
|:hearmyis l,v>00 strong. The Government is
vested in a Sovereign Grand Council of sixty
inhabitants, forty being plebeian, and twenty
aristocrats by birth. At the end of this
magnificently-christened executive stands the
captains regent — the supreme presidents of the
5an Marino. One of these gentlemen must also
be plebeian and the other an aristocrat. Their
term of power lasts only six months, at the end
3f which time they retire, and other two captains
regent are duly elected into the vacant place.
[Nearly everybody, therefore, of note or unusual
powers and intelligence in iSan 'Marino has a
;hance of receiving at the hands of his fellows
;he greatest honour in their power to bestow
ipon a Marinese citizen. The most laughable
eature about this tiny toybox republic,
lowever, is its legal machinery. No less than
twelve members of the Sovereign Grand Council,
it appears, are told off to assist the captains
regent in any litigation which may arise —
a number which would seem to point to an
exceeding litigiousness on the part of the
inhabitants

Surviving English Superstitions.

"VVe find that old customs' and habits of a
domestic nature still exist to a great extent in
the northern and western portions of England.
In the north, especially amidst the great Black
Country, they are almost universal, whilst in
the Midlands and the south they seem to have
disappeared. Many of these customs come
jwithin the category of superstitions, but they
iare none the less interesting, as tending to dis-
prove the assertion that "the further north one
goes, the less sentiment one finds." A few
^instances will suffice. In the north, no child's
nails are ever cut on a Sunday, no infant's
Innils are cut until it has attained the age of one
year, but are bitten; the inside of a child's
ii:ii:d3 are never washed until thi'ee weeks after
r birth ; infants before they are carried down-
t^stairs are alwa5's taken upstairs, in order to
11 ensure their course in the world upwards; no
|| child is shown itself in the glass, or its teething
i| process will be painful ; cake is always given to
the first person met on the road to the christen-
ing; marriages should never be performed on a
Saturday, but always if possible, on a Wednesday;
tho person who sleeps first on the wedding night
will die first, as will the person who kneels first
' at the marriage ceremony. In Cornwall no
miner whistles underground ; a Cornish child
born after midnight will see more of the world
than ordinary folk, and Sunday is considered an
.especially lucky day for hirth.— All the Yiar
Round.

Phenomena of Sound.

In the Arctic regions persons can converse at
more than a mile distant when the thermometer
is below zero. In air, sound travels from 1130 to
1142 feet per second. In water, sound passes at
the rate of 470S feet per second, Sound
travels in air, about 900 feet for every pulsation
of a healthy person at 75 in a minute. A bell
sounded under water may be heard under water
at 1200 feet distant. Souncs are distinct at
twice the distance on water that they are on
land. In a balloon, the barking of dogs on the
ground may be heard at an elevation of three or
four miles. On Table Mountain, a mile above
Cape Town, every noise in it, and even words
may be heard distinctly. The fire of the
English on landing in Egypt was distinctly
heard 130 miles on the sea. Dr. Jameson says,
in calm weather he heard every word of a
sermon at the distance of two miles ! Water is
a better conductor of sound than air. Wood is
also a powerful conductor of sound, and so is
flannel or riband. Sound affects particles of
dust in a sunbeam, cobwebs, and water in
musical glasses ; it shakes small pieces of paper
off a string in concord. Deaf persons may con-
verse through deal rods held between the teeth,
or held to the throat or breast. Echoes are
formed by elliptical surfaces combined with
surrounding surfaces, or by such of them as fall
into the respective distances of the surface of an
ellipse, and are, therefore, directed to the other
focus of the ellipse ; for all the distances from
both foci to such surface are equal, and hence
there is a concentration of sounds at those points
direct from one focus, and reflected back again
from the other focus. An echo returns a
monosyllable at 70 feet distance, and another
syllable at every 40 feet additional. The echo of
artillery is increased or created by a cloud or
clouds. Miners distinguish the substance bored
by the sound ; and physicians distinguish the
action of the heart or lungs by a listening tube.
Gamblers can distinguish, in tossing money,
which side is undermost, though covered by the
hand.

The Work op the Heaet.— Dr. Benjamin
W. Richardson in a recent Cantor lecture,
speaking of the mechanism of the heart,
described the number of the pulsation of the
heart in different animals — in fish, frog, bird,
I'abbit, cat, dog, sheep, horse — and made a few
comments on the remarkable slowness of the
heart— forty strokes per minute — in the horse
This was followed by a computation of the
average work performed by the heart in a
healthy adult man. The work was traced out
by the minute, the hour and the day, and was
shown to equal the feat of raising 5 tons 4 cwt.
one foot per hour, or 125 tons in twenty -four
hours. The facts relating to the work of the
heart by the weight of work accomplished was
supplemented by a new calculation, in which
the course of calculation was explained by
mileage. Presuming that the blood was thrown
out of the heart at each pulsation in the propor-
tion of sixty-nine strokes per minute, and at the
assumed force of nine feet, the mileage of the
blood through the body might be taken at 207
yards per minute, seven miles per hour, 168
miles per day, 61,320 miles per year, or 5,150,880
miles in a lifetime of eighty-four years.

Boy Inventors.

Some of the most important inventions have
been the work of mere boys. The invention of
the valve motion to the steam enp;ine was made
by a boy. Watts left the engine in a very
incomplete condition, from the fact that he had
no way to open or close the valves except by
means of levers operated by the hand. He set
up a large engine at one of the mines, and a boy
was hired to work these valve levers. Although
this was not hard work, yet it required his
constant attention. As he was working these
levers he saw that parts of the engine moved in
the right direction, and at the exact time that
he had to open or close the valves. He pi'o-
cured a strong cord and made one end fast to
the proper part of the engine, and the other end
to the valve lever ; the boy had the satisfaction
of seeing the engine move off with perfect
regularity of motion. A short time after the
foreman came around and found the boy play-
ing marbles at the door. Looking at the engine
he soon saw the ingenuity of the boy, and also
the advantages of so great an invention. Mr.
Watts then carried out the boy's inventive
genius in a practical form, and made the steam
engine a perfect automatic-working machine.

Buffalo Hunting on the Plains.

Buffalo hunting is an occupation common to
all the plain tribes. They are hunted by the
tribesmen at all seasons, and the bullet, the long
lance, and the arrow play an equal part in the
work of destruction. They will even entice
them into "pounds," V-shaped enclosures, or
rather traps, where they will be slaughtered
remorselessly. Sometimes a herd will be driven
in the direction of a high precipice, and one
after another, either unaware of the danger or
unable to avoid it, will tumble over and be
killed on the spot. If the animals attempt to
turn back in time, their fate is equally certain,
for few escape this running the gauntlet of the
Indians. In the winter they are pursued by
the Indians in snow-shoes, and numbers are
killed while struggling almost helplessly through
the snowdriits. Sometimes the buffaloes will
attempt to cross a lake on the smooth ice, when
they become perfectly helpless, and fall an
easy prey to their enemies. They will be even
pursued on foot during the summer months, the
Indians creeping within range by means of the
disguise of a wolf-skin drawn over their naked
bodies. The buffalo suspects nothing, for the
cowardly prairie wolf will never attack the
buffalo when in herds, but only singly ; then
the silent arrow soon does its work. So de-
pendent are many of the tribes on the buffalo
that if the herds do not approach for a length of
time within a reasonable distance of the village
the tribe is reduced to starvation, and there is
nothing for it but to resort to the buffalo dance.
So certain is this dance of bringing the game to
the village that every adult must keep by him a
mask, composed of the head and part of the
hide of the buffalo, so that, when occasion
arises, he may take part in this very necessary
Terpsichorean rite. It never fails, because with
a logic as incontestable as that of the rain-
maker, it has to be continued till the buffaloes
come. When one man is exhausted, another
pretends to kill him, and so being supposed to be
hors de combat, another takes nis place ; and

thus the weird dance continues, day and nighti
until the buffaloes come in sight, when, o
course, it is patent to every unprejudiced mind
that this 'medicine dance "-^ has been of
sovereign power. The rate at which buffaloes
are butchered has rapidly thinned them, and
though still existing in immense herds, their
area is year by year narrowing ; and eventually,
with the settling up of the prairies, their
intersection by railways, and the general use of
fire-arms by the Indians, their extermination is
only a question of time. Thousands are
annually slaughtered through sheer -wasteful-
ness, and the hides of the cows being in greater
request for robes than those of the bulls, the
former are killed in greater number. In the
Missouri region alone nearly 4,500,000 werei
massacred in three years, and the number of
buffaloes shot annually cannot be much less
than from a quarter to half a million. When
Coronado went on his famous expedition hei
traversed, says Castenada,- the historian of his
expedition, "immense plains, seeing nothing for
miles together, but skies and herds of bison"
To this day, in many places, thousands may be
seen at one view. When Lewis and Clarke
first crossed the prairies, tkey saw on one
occasion as many as 20,000 in a herd. At
another spot such a multitude of these animals
were fording the Missouri that for a mile the
stream was so filled up that they could not pro-
ceed until the herd had passed. Such sights, if
not already among the things of the past, soon
will be, and when the last buffalo becomes
extinct, the last prairie Indian will disappear.—
The Peoples of the World.

Snakes and Insects.

A very nice little snake story appeared some
time ago in a paper which devotes a large
portion of its space to popular natural history,
and was headed, " Extraordinary Sagacity in
Spiders." Three of those sapient insects it ap-
pears, came across a snake and resolved to eat
him. But first — and this is where the sagacity
comes in— they artfully spun threads round his
mouth, and so tied it up to prevent his biting ;
and then, having him quite helpless and at their
mercy; they sagaciously devoured his body at
their leisure. Ants, hovrever, have been known
to cluster in myriads on a serpent which has
incautiously strayed into their nest and to
destroy it, the reptile being unable to shake
them off ; but it frequently happens that ants
and other insects or parasites attack a snake's
eyes and positively eat them, those organs being
undefended by eyelids and therefore always
open. The outer layer of the conjunctival
membrane is continuous with the cuticle of the
whole body, and is desquamated with it when
the creature "sheds its skin:" ordinary im-
purities or particles of foreign matter are got rid
of in this way, but if the transparent plate
covering the cornea be perforated, as it is by
the ravages of these insects, the snake's sight is
permanently destroyed. This accident has
frequently happened, in spite of every care, in
the reptile house at the Zoological Gardens,
where the cages are very old and the woodwork
semi-rotten, affording abundant harbour to these
pests ; in the reptilium, now in course of con-
struction, Portland cement and zinc will replace
the use of wood as far as possible.— .4 ^Z the Year

Two Remarkable Needles

The International Exhibition of I^eedlework,
which was held at Sydenham in July, 18^4,
included among other curiosities, two things
which were not the least of the attractions of the
exhibition. One was the famous needle
presented to the Emperor of Germany some
time since under circumstances worth re-
calling. The Emperor was visiting the
great needle manufactory at Kreuznach,
and was desirous of seeing for himself the
relative power of machinery compared with
skilled hand labour. A bundle of superfine
neeciles was placed before him, 1,000 of which
weighed less than half an ounce, and he
expressed his astonishment that eyes could be
bored in such minute objects. Thereupon the
foreman of the boring department asked his
Majesty to give him a hair from his beard, and
receiving it, he bored an eye in it, threaded it,
and handed back to the astonished Emperor
this improvised and most peculiar needle. The
other curious needle was manufactured at
Eedditch, and presented to the Queen, It is a
sort of miniature Trajan's column. All around
it are represented scenes from the Queen's life,
executed so minutely that a magnifying glass is
required to distinguish them. This needle can
be opened, and within it are a number of very
fine needles, on which also scenes have been
engraved.

Growth of London.

One of the most interesting points in the
annual report of the Chief Commissioner of the
Metropolitan Police is the official record he
supplies of the yearly growth of London. The
year 1883 has not been a flourishing one for the
London builders, and the Chief Commissioner
speaks of their operations being "somewhat
restricted." These somewhat restricted efforts
have, however, succeeded in adding 21,110
houses to the vast aggregate of dwellings which
is called the metropolis ? thus forming 361 new
streets and one new square, covering a distance
of 56 miles and ^<4 yards. It is difficult to form
any mental picture from these figures. It is
easier to understand what they mean when we
compare the number of houses with some
existing town. Now Brighton in 1881 had
20,379 inhabited houses, so that London in 1883
added to itself a town a little bigger than
Brighton. Bolton, in Lancashire, had 21,043
houses, so that more were built in London in
one year than that busy town contains. It
would require two Coventrys, or more than two
Baths, orCambridges, or Oxfords, or Ipswiches,
to represent the additions made to London in a
single year. Yet 1883 shows a steady falling off
in tiie highest number of houses built. There
was an immense bound in 1880, when 24,945
houses were added to London ; in 1881, the
highest point was reached, when the number
was 26,170. It fell to 23,301 in 1882, and then to
21,110 in 1883. If we put these four years
together we shall find that from the end of 1879
to t e end of 1883. London added to itself a
town larger than Liverpool, Manchester, or
Birmingham. It must, however, be understood
that the London to which this vast addition is
made is not that of the Metropolitan Board of
Works, but the Greater London of the Metro-
politan Police.

The English Languagei

A pretty deer is dear to me,

A hare with downy hair :
I love a hart with all my heart,

But barely bear a bear.
'Tis plain that no one takes a plane

To have a pair of pears ;
A rake, though, often takes a rake

To tare away the tares.
All rays raise thyme, time razes all ;

And through the whole, hole wears.
A writ, in writing " right," may write

It " wright " anrS still be wrong —
For " write " and " rite" are neither " right,"

And don't to wright belong.
Beer often brings a bier to man,

Coughing a coffin brings.
And too much ale will make us ail.

As well as other things.
The person lies who says he lies

"When he is but reclining ;
And, when consumptive folks decline,

They all decline declining.
A quail don't quail before a storm —

A bough will bow before it ;
"We cannot rein the rain at all —

No earthly powers reign o'er it.
The dyer dyes awhile, then dies ;

To dye he's always trying,
Until upon his dying-bed

He thinks no more of dyeing.
A son of Mars mars many a sun ;

All deys must have their days.
And every knight should pray each night

To Him who weighs his ways,
'Tis meet that man should mete out meat

To feed misfortune's son ;
The fair should fare on love alone.

Else one cannot be won.
A lass, alas ; is something false;

Of faults a maid is made ;
Her waist is but a barren waste —

Though stayed, she is not staid.
The springs spring forth in Spring, and shoots

Shoot forward one and all ;
Though Summer kills the flowers, it leaves

The leaves to fall in Fall.
I would a story here commence,

But you might find it stale ?
So let's suppose that we have reached

The tail end of our tale.

When to Eat Feuit.— Fruits, to do their
best work, should be eaten either oh an empty
stomach or simply with bread — never with
vegetables. In the morning, before the fast of
the night has been broken, they are not only
exceedingly refreshing, but they serve as a
natural stimulus to the digestive organs. And
to produce their fullest, finest effect, they shouM
be ripe, and of good quality, and they should
ha eaten raw. "^"hat is belter than a bunch of
luscious grapes or a plate of berries or cherries
on a summer morning, the first thing on sitting
down to breakfast ? Or a fine ripe apple, rich
and juicy, eaten in the same way P In our
climate apples should constitute not the
finishing but the beginning of a meal, particulaly
the breakfast, for at least four months in the
year ; and fruits, raw or cooked, should make a
part of the morning and evening meal (pro-
vided suppers are eaten) during the entire year.

The British Constitution.

The Constitution of Great Britain is com-
posed of the Sovereign and. the three estates of
tlie realm, the Lords Spiritual, the Lords
temporal and the Commons.

The SovEKEiG-N has tlie power of summoning
and proroguing or dissolving Parliament, or
dismissing a ministry, and gives the Royal
assent to measures which have passed both
houses. The death of a sovereign does not dis-
solve Parliament, but renders necessary an
immediate assembling of both houses; and if
there be no Parliament in existence, the old
Parliament must re-assemble, and may sit again
six months. It is also in the power of the
Crown to call Parliament together by proclama-
tion for the despatch of business in six days
from the date of such proclamation, if the
house be adjourned for a period above four-
teen days.

The Lords Spiritual and Lords Tem-
poral sit together in the same legislative
chamber, which is called the House of Lords.
The Lords Spiritual consist of the Archbishop
of Canterbury and York, and twenty - four
Bishops of the Church of England ; the number
not being increased by the successive creation
of new bishoprics. The Archbishops, and the
Bishops of London, Durham, and Winchester
are always entitled to sit ; the other bishops
only receive a writ of summons when the
avoidance of a see decreases the total number of
lords spiritual to less than twenty-six, and the
writs are issued in order of seniority of ap-
pointment. A bishop on resigning his see
ceases to be a Lord of Parliament. The Lords
temporal may be divided into peers whose right
to sit is hereditary, representative peei's of
Scotland and Ireland, and Lords of Appeal.
The Scottish peers send sixteen representatives
to the House of Lords, which are elected im-
mediately after a general election, and sit until
Parliament is dissolved. The Irish peers elect
twenty-eight representatives who sit in the
House of Lords for life. The Lords of Appeal,
of whom there may be no more than four
appointed, enjoy the dignity of Baron for life,
but lose the right to sit on resigning office. A
Scotch or Irish peer other than a representative
peer may sit under an inferior title to the one
by which he is generally known, as a peer of the
United Kingdom. ^Thus, the Duke of Argyle
sits as Baron Sundridge and Hamilton, and the
Duke of Buccleugh as Earl of Doncaster. What-
ever be the rank of a peer, each is equally
entitled to sit and vote, and, as in the House of
Commons, each must be present to record his
vote. The officials of the House of Lords are
the Earl Marshal (hereditary office), the Lord
Gi'eat Chamberlain, the Garter King at Arms
and the usher of the Black Rod.

The House of Commons is an elective body,
chosen by a majority of the people from their
own body, in which, with certain exceptions,
any male of full age may be elected to sit as
rejjresentative of any constituency in the United
Kingdom. English and Scotch peers are entirely
disqualified from holding a seat, but Irish peers
may be returned for any constituency. The fol-
lowing are also disqualitied:— All English, Scotch,
and Irish Judges (except the Master of the Rolls
in England) ; all clergymen of the Established
Church of any of the three kingdoms ; Roman
Catholic priests ; the holders of various offices

specially excluded by'statute (including revenue
ollicers) ; persons who have been convicted of|
certain offences ; aliens who have been natural-
ized (except in certain cases where exceptions
are made) ; imbeciles ; government contractors
(except contractors for government loans) ; and
sheriffs and returning officers within the con- «
stituencies for which they act. A seat in the
house is vacated when the holder is created a
peer, or succeeds to a peerage, or by the accept-
ance of any office of emolument under the
Crown, but any member accepting is eligible for
re-election, should a constituency approve of
such acceptance ; but this rule does not apply to
such offices as that of Secretary to the Treasury
or other similar appointments not held direct i
from the crown, and a change from one office to
another does not involve going again to the con-
stituency. A member cannot resign his seat
without the consent of his constituents, but he
may accept the office of honour or profit under
the Crown, of the Stewardship of theChilternc
Hundreds, or of the Manors of J^forthstead,
which is granted to him by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and resigned immediately after its
purpose is served.

A peer or peeress of Great Britain, or of Scot-
land or Ireland, whether representative or not,
and a peeress, whether by birth, marriage or
creation— but not a peeress by marriage who
has become widowed and married a commoner
— is free at all times from arrest or imprison-
ment on civil process. The same privilege ex-
tends to members of the House of Commons
during the sitting of Parliament, and for forty
days before the meeting of Parliament and forty
days after its prorogation, and for an uncertain
or " reasonable " time after its dissolution.

Peers who become bankrupt are disqualified
from sitting and voting in the House of Lords
until the bankruptcy be determined either by
being annulled or by the satisfaction of the
creditors ; and the seat of a representative peer
for Scotland or Ireland is vacated unless his
bankruptcy be determined within one year after i
the date of his becoming a bankrupt. If a mem- ,
ber of the House of Commons be adjudged a '
bankrupt, he is unable to sit and vote for one year
unless the order of adjudication be annulled, or j
his creditors be satisfied ; and if at the expiration '
of one year the bankruptcy be not determined
in one or other of these ways, the seat becomes I
vacant.

Napoleon's Preparations for Battle.

Before engaging in battle, (says Bourriene in
his pleasing work), Buonaparte made little pro-
vision for subsequent events, if successful ; but
occupied himself much with what ought to be
done in the case of defeat. I here report a fact
of which I have often been a witness, leaving to
his brethren in arms the decision on the merits
of this conduct. He was enabled to accomplish
much, because he hazarded all, grasped at all,
and was cautious in nothing. His excessive
ambition urged him on to power, and power
obtained only added to his ambition. None ever
more firmly held the conviction tliat a nothing
often decicfes the greatest events. This supplies
the reason why he was more solicitous in watch-
ing, than in tempting events; he beheld them
in theix" progress of preparation and matuiity,
when, suddenly seizing, he directed them at
will.— T/je Olio.

" The author's endeavour has been to recall those qualities in the personal character
of the Queen and the incidents in her life which have most endeared her to her people
during the last fifty years ; and he has also aimed at giving a brief but comprehen-
sive summary of the great public movements of the time. In both efforts he seems
to have succeeded to admiration. Dr. Macaulay writes en jileine connaissayice de cause.
He has witnessed the events which he, narrates, and been brought face to face "with,
the personages whom he portrays. He has the liveliest ocular remembrance of ' Fifty
years since.' " — Illustrated London Neius.

HE LIVES "WELL THAT LIVES IN PEACH.

ANECDOTES OF BYGONE TIMES.

It was Count Charles de Morny's practice, when-
ever be dined at a table d'hote, to instruct his valet
to come in and sit down with the company, place
himself at the liottom or top of the table, treat his
master as a perfect stranger, and help him to the
best of everything !

Dr. Kitchen, Bishop of Llandaff, from an idle
abliot under Henry VIII. was made a busy bishop ;
Protestant under Edward, he returned to his old
master under Mary; and at last took the oath of
supremacy under Elizabeth, and finished as a par-
liament Protestant. A pun spread the odium of
his name ; for they said that he had always loved
the Kitchen better than the Church.

The most honourable kiss, both to the giver and
receiver, ever recorded, was that which Queen Mar-
garet of Prance, m the presence of the whole Court,
impressed upon the lips of the ugliest nuui in the
kingdom, Alain Chartier, whom she one day found
asleep, exclaiming to her astonished attendants, "t
do not kiss the man, but the mouth that has uttered
so many charming things." It was worth while to
be a poet in those days.

When Junius Brutus and the sons of Tarquin
asked the Delphic oracle who was to succeed Super-
bus on the throne of Rome, they received for an-
swer: "He who shall first kiss his mother." While
the two Princes hastened home to fulfil what they
thought was indicated, Brutus fell to the earth, and
exclaimed, " Thus kiss I thee, oh earth! the great
mother of us all ! "

James THE Second, who so seldom said a good
thing, one day said a very ill-bred one. He declared,
in the midst of his courtiers, that "he had never
known a modest man make his way at Court." To
this observation one of the gentlemen present boldly
replied, " And, please your majesty, whose fault is
that?" The King was struck, and remained silent.

The favourite studies and amusements of the
learned La Mothe le Vayer consisted In accounts
of the most distant countries. He gave a strik-
ing proof of the influence of this master-passion,
when death hung upon his lips. Bernier, the cele-
brated traveller, entering and drawing the cur-
tains of his bed to take his eternal farewell, the
dying man turning to him, with a faint voice in-
quired, "Well, my friend, what news from the Great
Mogul?"

Charles the Second laid it down as a rule, that
in his convivial parties the Khig was alivayft absent.
Being one night in a select party of this kind, one of
his courtiers, who had contributed a good deal to
his mirth, ventured to ask him for a place. Charles,
though he liked the man as a companion, was yet
unwilling to break through a fixed rule; and he
therefore quickly replied, "You may depend on it,
I will speak to the King to-morrow about it."

Some soldiers once fell upon a watchm.'in in a
small town in Ireland, in a lonely street, and took
away his money and coat. He immediately repaired
to the captain of the regiment, to complain of his
misfortune. The captain asked him whether he
had on the v.'aistcoat he then wcn'e when he was
robbed by the soldiers. " Yes, sir," replied the poor
fellow. "Then, my friend," rejoined the captain,
" I can assure you they do not belong to m/'com-
pnny, otherwise they would have left you neither
waistcoat nor shirt I "

Frederic THEGREAThadflvclibraries, all exactly
alike, and containing the same books, ranged in the
same order: one at Potsdam, a second at Sans Souci,
a third at Berlin, a fourth at Charlottenburg, and a
fifth at Breslau. On removing to any of these places,
he had only to make a note of the page at which he
had left off, to pursue his studies without interrup-
tion on his arrival. Accordingly, ho always bought
five copies of all books which he wished to possess.

A MUSICIAN complaining that the tyrant Diony-
sius gave him nothing, after promising him much,
for the exercise of his art — " Youfool,weai'c quits,"'
said the tyr.iut ; " you tickled my ears, and I did the
very same by yours."

Sylvester, the translator of "Du Bartas," Fcn-
Hidered himself fortunate when he found in the
name of his Sovereign the strongest bo:id of affec-
tion to his service. In the dedication he iJi -js loyal
changes on the name of his liege, James i:ituart ; iu
which he finds a just master.

It appears by an Act dated in 1510. that in those
days the Bible was called Bibliotheca, that is, per
emphasim, "The Lil)rary." The word library was
limited in its signification then to the Biblical
writings ; no other books, compared with the Huly
Wi itings, appear to have been worthy to rank with
them, or constitute what we call a library.

Louis XII. one dav looA-ing at himself in his
mirror, was astonished to icee a number of grey
hairs on his head. "Ah!" said he, "these must
be owing to the long speeches I have listened to ;

and it is those of M. le in particular that have

ruined my hair."

A PEiisON, who had some small interest in the
farming of the taxes, was one day pronouncing an
eulogiumupon the financiers, maintaining that they
alone were the support ot the State. " Yes," replied
his antagonist, "as the rope supports the criminal
—by hangiug him."

The Constal)le Anne de Montmorency had a sin-
gular species of devotion. He was accustomed to
count his beads during the march of his army ; and
as he fingered them, he would give orders, some-
times to set a village on fire — sometimes to sur-
prise a party, to massacre a garrison, or to hang a
soldier.

The Duke de Nivernoiswas intimately acquainted
with the Countess de Ro(thfort, and never omitted
going to see her a single evening. As she was a
widow, and he a w;dower. one of his friends ob-
served to him that it would be more convenient for
him to marry the lady. " I have often thought so,"
replied the Duke, " but one thing prevents me : in
that case, where could I pass my evenings ? "

The Spaniards, who disliked Sixtus V., circulated
a report that he had sold himself to the devil, on
condition of his enjoying the l'<jpedom for six
years. Afterwards, said they, it happened that a
young man. aged nineteen, committed a murder in
Rome, and his judges represented to the Pope that,
though guilty, his execution ci>uld not take place,
the law requiring twenty years of age before a
capital puuishmeut could be inflicted. The I'ope,
vexed at this disappointment of the ends of justice,
answered, without thinking, "0,if that is all, I will
lend him one of luine." At the end of five years,
Sixtus fell sick; the devil appealed, and told him
he came to carry him off. Sixtus told him his time
was not come, as only five years out of the six al-
lowed him had elapsed ; but the devil reminded hiiu
of his promise on the execution of the young man,
and immediately put an end to his life.

VuEEN Elizabeth loved the Earl of Essex so
well, that ill a lender moment she gave him
a ring, telling him that if he ever slunild be
guilty of undertaking anything against the State
worthy of death, he had only to send to her that
ring in order to ensure his pardon. Th.e Earl of
Essex some time iifterwards fell in love with an-
other lady, and finally revolted, and was condemned
to death. In this last extremity he intrusted the
rins,' to this lady to be conve.xed to Elizaljeth. As
the lady knew the secret connected with the ring,
she preferred keeping it, and allowing her lover to

STATE LOTTERIES IN ENGLAND.

THE first lottery in England, so far as
is known, began to lie drawn on the
nth of January, 1569, at the west door of
St. Paul's Cathedral. The scheme, which
had been announced in 1,567, shows that
the lottery consisted of forty thousand
lots or shares at ten shillings each, and
that it comprehended "a great number
of good prizes, as well of ready money as
of plate, and certain sorts of merchan-
dise." Any profit that arose from the
scheme was to be devoted to the repara-
tion of harliours and other useful public
works.

Tlie last State lottery in England wa«
drawn on the 18th of October, 183ii, the
ceremony taking place in Cooper's Hall,
Basinghall Street, London. The aboli-
tion of lotteries deprived the Govern-
ment of areveuue of £250,000 or £300.000 a
year ; but it was rightly thought that
the inducement to gambling held out to
the public wasa great moral evil helping
to impoverish many, and diverting atten-

I tion from legitimate industi'ial modes »f

j money-making.

I Whilst lotteries lasted they gave rise

I to many curious anecdotes, and some of

I these we shall set d'^wn here.

Early in the reign of George II., the
footman of a lady of quality, under the
absurd infatuation of a dream, disposed
of the savings of the last twenty years
of his life in two lottery tickets, which
proving blanks, after a few melancholy
days he put an end to his life. In his
box was found the following plan of the
manner in which he would spend the
five thousand pound prize, which his
mistress preserved as a curiosity : —

"As soon as I have received the money
I will marry Grace Towers; but as she
has been cross and coy I will use her as

LEISURE IS THE LUXURY OF THE POOR.

a servant. Every morning she shall get me a mug
of strong beer, with a toast, nutmeg and sugar in it ;
then I will sleep till ten, after which I will have a
large sack iiosset. My dinner shall he on table at
one, and never without a good pudding. I will have
a stock of wine and brandy laid in. About five in
the afternoon I will have tarts and jellies, and a
gallon bowl of punch ; at ten a hot suiiper. If I
am in a good humour, and Grace behaves herself, she
shall sit down with me. To bed about twelve."

On the 31st of August, 1731, a scene was presented
which strongly marks the infatuation andignoT'ance
of lottery adventurers. The tickets for the State
Lottery were delivered out to the subscribers at
the Bank of England ; when the crowd becoming
so great as to obstruct the clerks, they told them,
" We deliver blanks to-day, but to-morrow we shall
deliver iirizes;" upon which many, who were by
no means for blanks, retired; and by this bold
stratagem the clerks obtained room to proceed in
their business.

A gentlewoman in Holborn, whose husband had
presented her with a ticket, put up prayers in the
church the iiay before drawing in the followiufr
manner: "The prayers of the congregation are de-
sired for the success of a person engaged in a new
undertaking."

In the lottery of 1770 the holder of the ticket en-
titled to the first prize of £20,000 was Captain Towry
of Isleworth. A very remarkable circumstance put
it in his possession. Mr. Barnes, a grocer in Cheap-
side, purchased four following numbers, one of
which this was; but thinking the chance not so
great in so many following ones, he carried this
very ticket back to the offlce, and changed it for
another.

On the .5th of January, 1774, at the conclusion of
drawing the State Lottery at Guildhall, No. ll.Ooo,
as the last drawn ticket, was declared to be entitled
to the £i,000, and was so printed in the paper of
benefits by order of the Commissioners. It won
besides a prize of £100. But after the wheels were
carried back to Whitehall, and opened, the ticket
No. 72,248 was found sticking in a crevice of the
wheel. Being the next drawn ticket after all the
prizes were drawn, it was advertised by the Com-
missioner's order as entitled to the £1,000 as the
last drawn ticket, " which affair," we are told,
" made a great deal of noise."

What were known as "Little Goes" were little
lotteries on the same plan as the great State Lot-
teries, and drawn in the same manner. There were
generally five or six "little goes" m the year, and
they were actually set up and conducted by two or
three of the licensed lottery-office keepers. The
State Lottery was the parent of these "little goes."
Persons who had not patience to wait till another
=»tate Lottery gambled during the vacations in a
" little go."

A ROMANCE OF A BEDSTEAD.

Richard III. slept in Leicester at the Blue Boar
Inn, opposite the Grammar School, the night before
Bosworth Field, and the bedstead wliereon he
is supposed to have lain is still preserved, and its
history has been handed down. In 1613, Mrs. Clarke,
keeper of that inn, was robbed by her servant-maid
and seven men, and the story is tlius given by Sir
Roger Twisden, who had it from persons of un-
doubted credit, who were not only inhabitants of
Leicester, but saw the murderers executed :—

When King Richard III. marched into Leicester-
shire against Henry, Earl of Richmond, afterwards
Henry VII., he lay at the Blue Boar Inn, in the town
of Leicester, where was left a large wooden bedstead,
gilded in some places, wiiich after his defeat and
death in the battle of Bosworth was left either
through haste, or as a thing of little value— the
bedding being all taken from it— to the people of
the house; thenceforward this oldbedstead, boarded
at the bottom (as the manner was in those days),
became a piece of standing furniture, and passed
from tenant to tenant with the inn.

In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, this house was
kept by one Mr. Clarke, who put a tied on this bed-
stead, which his wife was going to make hastily one
day, and jumbling the bedstead, a piece of golddropt
out. This excited the woman's curiosity ; she nar-

rowly examined this ai.tiiiu'ited piece of furniture,
and finding it had a double bottom, took off the
uppermost with a chisel, upon which she discovered
the space between them filled with gold, part of it
coined by Richard III., and the rest of it in earlier
times. Mr. Clarke concealed this i)iecc of good for-
tune, though by degrees the effects of it were made
known, for he became rich from a low condition,
and in the space of a few years mayor of the town ;
and then the story of the bedstead came to be ru-
moured by the servant.

At his death he left his estate to his wife, who still
continued to keep the inn, though she was known to
bo very rich, which put some wicked persons upon
engaging the maid-servant to assist m robbing her.
These folks, to the numlier of seven, lodged in her
house, plundered it, and carried off some horse-loads
of valuable things, and yet left a considerable cpiaii-
tity of valuables scattered aliout the floor. As for
Mrs. Clarke herself, who was very fat, she endia-
voured to cry out for help, upon which her maid
thrust her fingers down her throat, and choaked
her, for which she was burnt ; the seven men who
were her accomplices were hanged at Leicester
some time in 161.'!.

CURIOUS ANCIENT STATUTES.

TANTALLON CASTLE.

Thk ruins of Tantallon Castle are situated about
two miles and a half east of North Berwick. It is
not known at what f.iie this famous Castle was
Iniilt. The great strength of the place gave rise to
the saying, " Ding aown Tantallon, and build a brig
to the Bass," as feats of equal difficulty.

A very accurate description of Tantallon is to be
read in the fifth Canto of " Marmion " :—
" Bvt scant three miles the band had rode.
When o'er a height they passed.
And, sudden, close before them shmved

His towers, Tantallon vast :
Broad, massive, high, and stretclling far
And held impregnable in ivar,
On a projecting rock they rose.
And round three sides the ocean floivs
The fourth did battled ivalls enclose

A7id double mound and fosse.
By narrow drawbridge, outworks strong
Through studded gates, an entrance long

To the main court they cross.
It was a fair and stately square ;
Around were lodgin(is,flt and fair-.

And towers of various form.
Which on the court projected far
And broke its lines quadrangular.
Here was square keep, there turret high.
Or pinnacle that sought the sky.
Whence oft the loarder could descry
The gathering ocean-storm.

THE BKAVE DRUMMER.

SAD menories are attached to tlie
bridge over the Neckar at Heidel-
I berg. In the year 1799 the Austrians and
I the French fousi;ht a bloody battle here.
The French, far superior in numbers,
were driven back seven times by two
hun Ired Huntrarian infantry and eighty
lancers, were forced to leave the pLacc
of action, and did not return to it till the
next morning after the little band of
heroes had left in the dead of night.
.Much blood was shed here, and an im-
mense numberof the French wereeither
killed by the grape shot of the Austrians,
or found their graves m the waters of
the Ncckar.

The brave act of a French drummer is
worthy of being committed to posterity.
Beating to the assault, the drummer, who
was scarcely beyond the age of boyhood,
advanced to meet the enemy. A ))all
shattered his leg. Leaning against the
parapet of the bridge, however, he still
continued beating his march, and strove
to put fresh courage into his comrades
by the music of his drum. On seeing
this, one of the enemy's officers is said
to have dismounted from his horse and,
slinging a drum across his shoulders,
constituted himself a rival drummer.

During the Baden revolution in 1819
this bridge over the Neckar was threat-
ened to be destroyed, for the insurgents
had already undermined it, in oi-der to
spring it up on the approach of the
Prussians, and we have only to owe its
preservation to the courageous resist
ance of several citizens of Heidelberg.

The bridge where these events took
place i3 a beautiful structure : Goethe
said it was not to be equalled by any
bridge in the world. It was begun in
1786, and completed in 1788: it is 700 feet
long, SO feet broad, and built of strong
red sandstone.

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.

Christ's Hospital in Newgjite Street, London, of
which a picturesque portion is shown in our engra-
ving, was founded by Edward VI. on the 26t)i of
June, 1553, ten days Ijefore his death. The object
was to estabhsh an hospital for poor fatherless
children and foundlings.

It is commonly called "the Blue-coat School,"
from tUcdrc^s
worn by the
boys, wliich is
of the same
age as t h i'
foundation ol'
the hospital.
'' The dress,"
says Peter
Cunningham,
" is a blue coat
orgown.ayel-
low petticoat,
a red leather
girdle round
the waist, jel-
lowstockings,
a clergyman's
band round
the neck, and
a flat black
cap of woollen
yarn, about
the size of a
saucer. Blue
was a colour
origiaally con-
fined to sei-
vaut men and
boys, nor till
its recogni-
tion as part of
the unifoim
of the British
navy was blue
ever looked
upon as a
colour to be
worn by gen-
tlemen."

The follow-
ing curious
story is told
by Pepys the
diarist in con-
nection with
Christ's Hos-
pital in 1695 :
'"Two wealthy
citizens are
lately dead,
and left their
estates, one
to a Blue-coat
boy, and the
other to a
Blue-coat girl
in Christ's
Hospital, the
extraordina-
r i n e s s of
which has led
some of the
magistrates to
carry it on to
a inatch.which
is ended in a
public wed-
ding—he in his habit of blue satin, led by two of the
girls, and she in blue with an apron green, and
petticoat yellow, all of sarsnet, led by tv.'o bovs of
the hous,-, through Chcapside to Guildhall Chapel,
where they were married by the Dean of St. Paul's."

A CITY CORXEK : chuist's hospital.

SLAVERY IN SCOTLAND.
Perhaps no passage in our older Scottish poets has
been oftener <iu(>ted than the lines on Freedom in
Barbour's Metrical Historv of the Bruce:

"Ah, Freedom is a nolile thing ;
Freedom makes men to have lUchuj,
To man all solace Freedom gives :
He lives at ease who freely lives ;
And he that aye has lived free,
May not ivell knoiv the misery.
The xvrath, the hate, the spite, and all
That's compass'd in rhe iKiiite af Thrall."

The author
of these lines
was a slave-
dealer! From
deeds which
vre extant, it
appears that
the Chaiiter
of which he
w as the arch-
deacon traf-
ficked in serfs,
celling or let-
ting them on
lease, like the
cattle or
granges on
their lands.
In their own
^^ ords, they
' set and in
tack let the
■whole barony
of Murthil,
with its
h a w k i n g s ,
huntings, and
fishings, ivith
its serfs, bon-
dages, natives,
and their is-
sue. The date
of this lease is
] 5S8 : Barbour
died in 1396.

Many provi-
sions as to
ilie condition
1 f the born
thralls, serfs,
or bondmen,
occur in
tncient laws ;
though some
•Scottish legal
writers, it is
s lid, such as
Craig, Stair,
and Bankton,
have denied
that slavery
ever existed
in Scotland.

One of the
statutes of
Siint David,
who reigned
tiom 1124 to
1153, is "of a
nun found
without a
1 o r d." I t
enacts that
"if any man
be found in
the King's
land who has
no proper
lord, after the King's writ is read in the King's
court, he shall h.ave the space of fifteen davs to get
himself a lord. And if within that term he finds no
lord, the King's justice shall take from him eight
cows for the King's use, and keep his body for the
King's behoof until he finds a lord."

About the same period it appears to have been a
moot point whether one might of his own will re-
nounce his freedom ; and it v/as determined by a
statute that " any free man may if he choose abandon
his freedom in the King's court, or in any other
court ; and if he do so he shall never recover it."

THE GIPSY'S PROPHECY.

There is a singular anecdote told of
Gharles th- First in connection with
Hampton Court Palace. The King was
one day standing at a window there,
surrounded l)y his children, when a gipsy
came up and asked for charity. Her
appearance excited the King's ridicule,
and he appears also to have threatened
her, which so enraged the gipsy that she
took from her basket a looking-glass
and presented it to the King. He saw in
it his own head decollated.

Probably with a natural wish to pro-
pitiate so prophetical a beggar, or for
some other reason, money was given
her. She then foretold tliat the death
of a dog in the room where the King
was then would precede the restora-
tion to his family of the kingdom which
he was about to lose.

It is supposed tliat Oliver Cromwell
afterwards slept in the room referred
to. He was constantly attended l)y a
faitbful dog, who guarded his bed-
chamlier door. On awaking one morn-
ing he found the dog dead, on wblcli he
exclaimed in allusion to the gipsy's pro-
phec^v, which he had been told of, " The
kingdom is departed from me." Shortly
afterwards the Protector died.

OLD EDINBURGH.

We have a glimpse of old Edinburgh in
our illustration, which represents the
Bow-head corner house,with which every
visitor to the Scottish metropolis used
to lie familiar. It was one of the finest
of the old timber-fronted burgher dwell-
ings in the city, and was taken down in
1878. There were two elevations— one

'A MAN IS A LION IN HIS OWN CAUSE.'

towards the Lawnmarket, the other towards the
West Bow. " The street floor only," say the Messrs.
Dimlop, "had a stone wall, the chimneys being
carried up in the sables of tlie houses on either side.
A piazza was on the ground floor, towards the Bow,
and the beams of the upper floors projected over it,
and over each other with a boldness which made a
stranger hold his breath.

" Perhaps this seeming over-weighting of the
house is best described in the words of one of its
own tenants— an old man who had been born and
who had lived for more than seventy years literally
under its roof, for to him belonged the snail attic

" King Charles, two days before his death, which
took place two years after the massacre, having
called for Mazzille, his chief physician and com-
plaining of the pains he suffered, asked him if it
was not possible that he and so many other cele
brated physicians that were in his realms could
give some alleviation to his disorder; 'for I am,'
said he, 'cruelly and horridly tormented.' To
which Mazzille replied, that whatever had depended
on them hud been tried, but that in truth God only
could be the sovereign physician in such complaints.
'I believe,' said the king, 'that what yo\i say is true,
and that you know nothing else. Draw from me my
custode (or large cap), that I may try to rest.'

" Mazzille withdrew, and left orders that allshould
leave the king except three, viz., La Tour, St. Pris,
and his nurse, whoju his majesty greatly loved, al-
though she teas a Huguenot. As she had just seal ed
herself on a coffer, and hegan to doze, she heard the

"The Bow-head house was specially a coign of
vantage on the occasions of the state entry of the
rulers of Scotland into their capital. The law of
precedent, always powerful in court ceremonials,
was to enter the Grassmarket by tlfee West Pi^rt,
thence up the steep zigzag of the B(!\v into High
Street, then to pass slowly down between the then
unbroken lines of its towering houses to the Netlier-
Bow Gate, thence by the burg of Canongate to the
royal home at Holyrood. In some cases the Castle
was visited. This was done by Queen Mary on her
state entry on the 2nd of Septemljer, 1561."

SMITTEN WITH REMORSE.

In the massacre of St. Bartholomew, according to
Sully, 70,(KXi Huguenots, or French Protestants,
including women and children, were murdered
throughout the kingdom, by secret orders from
Charles IX., at the instigation of his mother, the
queen dowager, Catherine de Medicis.

approached the bed softly, and drawing away his
cnMode, the king said to her, giving vent to a heavy
sigh, and shedding tears plentifully, insomuch that
they interrupted his discourse—

" ' Ah ! my dear nurse! my beloved woman, what
bhiod ! what murders! Ah ! I have followed wicked
advice ! O my God ! pardon me, and be merciful.
I know not where I am, they have made me so
perplexed and asritated. How will all this end?
What shall I do? I am lost for ever! I know it.'

"Then the nurse thus addressed him: — 'Sire, be
the murders on those who forced you to order
them ; your majesty could not help it, and since you
ne ver consented, and now regret them, believe God
will never impute them to you. and will cover them
with the mantle of justice of His Son, to whom alone
you should look for aid. Ah 1 for the honour of
God, let your majesty cease from this weeping.'

"Having said this, she rose for a handkerchief,
for his was drenched with tears : Charles having
taken it from her, made a sign that she should
retire and leave him to repose."

The dreadful narrative of the massacre of St. Har-
tholomew is detailed in the history of De Thou.

A TRIAL BY COMBAT.

AN extraordinary scene in the shape
of H solemn jousting took place on
London Bridge on St. George's Day, the
23rd of April, 1390.

John de Wells, the English ambassa-
dor in Scotland, having boasted at the
Scottish court of the ju'owess of his
countrymen, a famous knight of that
country, David Lindsay, Earl of Craw-
ford, offered to test the Question and
lower the pride of the Southerner by
resorting to a trial by combat on London
Bridge. A royal safe - conduct was
granted, and Earl David travelled to
London with a retinue of twenty-nine
persons.

The day of battle came. Both parties,
fully armed, were most honourably con-
ducted to the bridare, M'hich was splen-
didly decorated with rich hangings of
tapestry and cloth of gold. There were
crowds of noble spectators, the jilace of
honour being occupieil l)y Richard IT.

The combatants approached. "The
signal being given," says an old writer,
" tearing their barbed steeds with their
spurs, they rushed, with square-ground
spears, and a mighty force, impetuously
to the conflict. Neither party was moved
by the vehement impulse or by the
splintering of their spears; so that the
common people affected to cry out that
David was bound to the saddle of his
horse contrary to the law of arras, be-
cause he sat unmoved amidst the splint-
ering of lances on his helmet and visor.

"When Earl David heard this, he
in-esently leaped off his charger, and
then as quickly vaulted upon his back
again without any assistance ; and ta-
king a second hasty course, their spears
were a second time shivered by the

shock tliroiigli their hurniiipr desire to comiuer.
And now a third time were tlie valorous cneinics
stretched out and runuinK together; liut then tlie
Enghsh knight was cast down Ijreathless to tlie
earth, with great sounds of mourning from hia
countrymen tliat he was killed !

"Earl David when victory appeared leapt sud-
denly to the ground— for he had fought without
anger and but for glory, that he might show him-
self the stronger of the champions — and casting
himself upon Lord Wells, tenderly embraced him
till he revived and the surgeon came to attend him."

RICHMOND CASTLE.

To Alan Rufus. son of Hoel, Count of Bretagne,
a kinsman of William the Conuueror, who accom-
panied him in his e.xpedition to England, is gene-
rally attributed the foundation of both the Castle
and town of Richmond, in the North Riding of
Yorkshire ; though by some authorities the town
is said to have been in existence prior to the
Conquest. William conferred upon Alan the title of
Earl of Richmond, and the estates of the Saxon
earl Edwin, embracing nearly two hundred manors
and townships, and a jurisdiction over all Ricli-
mondshire, about a third of the Aorth Riding.

In the situation of his castle, Earl Alan selected
what was admirable for purposes of defence: its
foundation was laid upon an almost perpendicular
rock, on the left bank of the Swale, about a hundred
feet above the bed of the river. To the original
buildings of the fortress additional walls, towers,
and outworks were erected by the successors of the
founder.

The walks round the castle present a succession
of varied and romantic scenery. Swaledale is in
many parts skirted with bold rocks, almost covered
with trees and shrubs. From the hills to the
north-west of the town the castle and town appear
to be situated in a valley.

"TOO MUCHl"

Fabro Chigi, who was afterwards Pope, under
the title of Alexander VII., while Nuncio in France,
was present at the death of Mary de Medicis. He
asked her if she pardoned all her enemies, and par-
ticularly Cardinal Richelieu. She said she did,
from her heart. "Madaiiie," said he, "as a mark
of reconciliation, will you send hiiu the bracelet
you wear on your arm?" " Nav," replied she,
laying her head on the pillow, " that is too much ! "

THE SCOT IN ENGLAND.

IN the year 1596, William Armstrong, of
Kinmont, a noted border trooper,
was taken prisoner by the warden of the
Western marches of England, and lodged
in Carlisle Castle. This was in defiance
of a truce which then existed between
the wardens of the borders.

The Lord of Buccleugh, who had the
charge of Liddesdale, after in vain de-
manding that Kinmont Willie should be
set at liberty, gallantly took ths castle
of Carlisle by surprise one night with a
body of two hundred men, and effected
the prisoner's delivery. He crossed the
Esk at nightfall, broke open the postern
gate, seized the sentries, forced open
Kinraont's cell, and was again on Scot-
tish ground almost before the English
garrison could draw breath.

The consequences of this enterprise
are thus mentioned by Spottiswood :—
" This fell out on the 12th of April, l.i96.
The queen of England, having notice
sent her of what was done, stormed not
a little. One of her chief castles sur-
prised, a prisoner taken forth of the
hands of the warden, and carried away
so far within England she esteemed a
great affront.

" The lieger, Mr. Bowes, in a conven-
tion kept at Edinburgh the 22nd of May,
did, as he was charged, in a long oration,
aggravate the heinousness of the fact,
concluding that peace could not longer
continue betwixt the two realms unless
Buccleugh were delivered up in England,
to be punished at the queen's pleasure.

" Buccleugh compearing and charged
with the fact, made answer :— 'That he
went not into England with intention to
assault any of the queen's houses, or to
do wrong to any of her subjects, but
only to relieve a subject of Scotland,

"TRUST NOT A HORBE'S HKEL NOR A DOG'S TOOTH."

unlawfully taken, and more unlawfully detained;
that in the time of a general assurance in a day of
truce, he was taken prisoner against all order,
neither did he attemiit his relief till redress was
refused ; and that he had carried the liusiness in
such a moderate manner as no hostility was com-
mitted nor the least wrong offered to any within the
castle; yet was he content, according to the ancient
treaties observed betwixt the two realms, when as
mutual injuries were alleged, to he tried by the
commissioners that it should please their majesties
to appoint, and submit himself to that which they
should decree.'

"The convention, esteeming the answer reason-
able, did acquaint the ambassador therewith, and
offered to send commissioners to the borders, with
all diligence, to treat with such as the queen should
be pleased to appoint for her i)art."

The end of the matter was that Buccleugh was
not delivered up. He, however, was suhsequently
surrendered into English hands for making an in-
road into England, for which no justiflcation could
be pleaded. On this occasiijn Baccleugh seems to
have remained in England from October, 1597, till
February, 1598.

According to ancient family tradition Buccleugh
was presented to Elizabeth, who, with her usual
rough and peremptory address, demanded of him
" how he dared to undertake an enterprise so des-
perate and presumptuous."

"What is it," answered the undaunted chieftain,
"what is it that a man dares not do?"

Elizabeth, struck with the reply, turned to a lord
in waiting: "With ten thousand such men," said
she, "our brother of Scotland might shake the
firuiest throne of Europe."

ROYALTY AND A WOODEN SOLDIER.

In I8(i6, on the approach of the French, the Bourbon
Court of Naples made so hasty a retreat into Sicily,
that they forgot and left behind them a superannu-
ated princess of the family, who was half-sister to
old King Ferdinand. Though this venerable spinster
was of illegitimate birth, she received the honours
paid to the royal blood, and was allowed a sentinel
of the household troops, who mounted guard at her
door and presented arms at all her exits and her
entrances.

At first it was feared that the French conquerors,
who were not always liberal in these matters, would
stop her allowance and leave the old woman in ab-
solute want The new King of Naples, Joseph Bona-
parte, however, secured her in part of her pensions ;
but no sooner was she relieved from the fear of
starvation, than she was made wretched by what
appeared to be an equal calamity, and this was tlu' re-
fusal on the part of the French to allow her a soldier
as a guard of honour. She petitioned over and over
again ; she supplicated that this distinction and de-
light of her life should not, towards its close, be
withdrawn from her; but Napoleon, who had de-
clared in his lordly manner that the Bourbons had
everywhere ceased to reign, was not Itkely to pay
royal honours to a neglected off-shoot of that race.

The old woman's heart was absolutely breaking
under this privation, when, in a lucky moment, one
of the few friends or attendants who remained about
her person thought of substituting a wooden soldier
for a soldier of real flesh and blood. Accordingly, a
figure was made and dressed up, and, with a musket
on its shoulder, was posted at the outer door of the
princess's apartment, in an old house she occupied at
Portici, not far from the royal villa "f that name.

This simple contrivance had a happy effect on the
old woman, who then thought that all royalty had
not departed from her ; but she soon began to com-
plain that the statue did not present arms to her,
which, by a very easy exercise of mechanical in-
genuity. It might have been made to do. She there-
fore, after a time, confined herself to her apart-
ments, enjoying at a distance, through unfolded
doors, the sight of her mute sentinel, but never
exposing herself to the mortifying proofs that he
was motionless as well as mute. The recluse died
before the restoration of the Bourbons of Naples.
In 1816 her wooden sentinel was still to be seen at
the old house at Portici.

LAWFUL WITCHCRAFT.

Lord Mansfield had an old woman brought be-
fore him as a witch, and among other things she
was charged with riding through the air. The ^'reat
judge dismissed the case, observing : "My opinion
is that this good woman should be suffered to return
home, and whether she do so walking on the ground,
or riding through the air, must be left to her own
judgment ; for there is nothing contrary to the laws
of England in either."

The history of v/itchcraft in England is a con-
spicuous proof of the length to which superstition
will sometimes go. The number of persons put to
death in England on the charge of witchcraft, up
to the year ine, has been estimated at not fewer
than thirty thousand !

A MODEST REQUEST.

A coiiMON saying among certain of the Irish is that
they are "the boys lit for anything." The hero of
the following anecdote must have thought himself
one of that gifted set.

When the Duke of Ormonde Avas appointed Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland in the beginning of Queen
Anne's reign, a certain Irish baronet, a man of some
interest in his country, requested his grace would
give him a bishopric, or a regiment of horse, or
make him Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench-
he was not particular which.

COUNTERFEIT KINGS.

JoHNES, in his translation of Froissart's Chronicle,
Vol. I., p. 421, says that at the battle of Poictiers,
" King John was armed in royal armour, u7id nine-
teen others like him."

This custom of arming several in like manner
to the commander of an army seems to have
been usual, and was probably carried down at
least to Richard the Third's time. Shakespeare
makes Richard say, in the Fourth Scene of the
last Act :

"J think there be six Richmonds in the field :
Five have I slain to-day, instead of Jiim."

Also, in the First Part of Henry the Fourth,
Douglas says :

" Another king ! Then grow like Hydra's heads
I am the Douglas, fatal to all those
That wear these colours on them. Wliat art thou
That counterfeit' St the person of a king f "

THE WIG-RIOT.

In the year 1764, owing to changes in the fashion,
people gave over the use of that very artificial
appendage, the wig, and wore their own hair when
they had any. In conse(iuence of this, the wig-
makers, who had become very numerous in London,
were suddenly thrown out of work, and reduced
to great distress. For some time both town and
country rang with their calamities, and their
complaints that men should wear their own hair
instead of perruques ; and at last it struck them
that some legislative enactment ought to be pro-
cared in order to oblige gentlefolks to wear wigs,
for the benefit of the suffering wig-trade. Accord-
ingly they drew up a petition for relief, which on
the nth of Feliruary, 1765, they carried, to St.
James's to present to his Majesty (-ieorge the
Third. As they went processionally through the
town, it was observed that most of these wig-
makers, who wanted to force other people to wear
them, wore no wigs themselves; and this striking
the London mob as something monstrously unfair
and inconsistent, they seized the petitioners, and
cut off all their haiv par force.

Horace Walpole, who alludes to this ludicrous
petition, says, "Should one wonder if carpenters
were to remonsti'ate, that since the peace their
trade decays, and that there is no demand for
wooden legs? "

A HUNT BY TORCHLIGHT.

THE IMarqucss of Winchester of the
time of James the Second liad some
singular habits. Amongst tliese was his
custom of sitting at table for twelve
hours at a time. He went to dinner at
six or seven in the evening, and his
meal lasted till six or seven tlie next
morning, during which time he ate,
drank, smoked, talked, or h'stened to
music. The company that dined with
him were at liberty to eat or amuse
tliemselves,or take a nap whenever they
were so disposed; l)ut the dishes and
bottles were all the while standing upon
the table. When Bishop Cartwright
went to see him dinner appears to have
been made a little earlier than usual. " I
was received by tbe noble marquess."
says the bishop, "with all kindness ima-
ginable at dinner from one at noon till
one in the morning ! "

A contempoi-ary, Abraham delaPryme,
in his " iManuscript Epheraeris," tells us
also that the marquess would make all
his men rise at midnight, and go hunting
))y torchlight, as our artist has i-epre-
sented them in the above illustration.

It is said, however, that these eccen-
tricities were adopted for a purpose,
that purpose being that he might be

BERWICK BRIDGE.
From an earlj- period there appears to have been a
bridge across the Tweed at Berwick, though not on
the same site as the one here shown. A wooden
bridge which stood about a hundred yards higher
up the river was carried away by a flood in 1199. It
was re-built by William, King of Scotland, who then
held possession of Berwick, after some objections
on the part of the Bishop of Durham, to whom the
south shore belonged. The bridge of stone shown
in the engraving took upwards of twenty-four years
in building, and was finished in Octol)er, 1634. Its
length from shore to shore is 931 feet, but it is only
17 feet wide. There are fifteen arches.

AN APPEAL TO CHANCE.

The father of Francesco Sforsa, Duke of Milan,
when at work in the field was accosted liy some sol-
diers, and asked if he would enlist. " Let me throw
my mattock on that oak," he replied, "and if it re-
mains there I will." It remained there; and the
peasant regarding it as a sign, enlisted. He became
soldier, general, prince ; and his grandson, in the
palace at Milan, said to Paulus Jovius, " You behold
these guards and this grandeur. I owe everything
to the branch of an oak, the branch that held my
grandfather's mattock."'

LIFE SAVED BY LAUGHTER.

" The health of Erasmus," says Mr. Charles Butler,
'was always very di'licate, and he at last began to
feel the infirmities of oldage. HewasalTlicted l)y an
iinposthume, and the worst was feared, when he
was cured of it in an extraordinary manner. . . .
The perusal of the celelirated ' Litcras Ubscurorum
Vivorum' threw him into a fit of immoderate laugh-
ter ; the imposthume burst and the laugher was
cured."

A like tale is told of Dr. Patrick Scougal, a Scot-
tish liishop in the seventeenth century. An old
woman earnestly ;)esought him to visit her sick
cow ; the prelate after many remonstrances reluc-
tantly consented, and walking round the l^east, said
i-'ravely, " If she live, she live; and if she die, she
die; and I can do nae mair for her." Not long
afterwards he was dangerously afflicted with a
quinsy in the throat: the old woman having got
access to his chamber walked round his bed, repeat-
ing the charm which she believed had cured her
cow ; whereat the bishop was seized with a fit of
laughter, which broke the quinsy and saved his
life.

An old English dramatist alludes to a third in-
stance :

" I am come to tell you
Your brother hath vttended you some sport:
A (treat physitian, when the pope was siclce
Of a deepe melaiicholly, presented him
With severall sorts of mad-men, luhich toilde object
(Being full of change and sport) fore' d him to laugh.
And so th' impost-hume broke; the self-same cure
The duke intends on you."

A FINAL SKIRMISH.

THE first skirmish of the civil wars
took place at Kingston-upon-Thames
in Jfinuary, 1642, and the last curiously
enough happened at the same place in
July six years later.

The first was when some Royalists at-
tempted to assemble an armed force to
seize upon "the magazine of arms" de-
posited in the town. The committee
appointed by Parliament to inquire into
the truth of the rumours relative to this
assemblage reported " That there were
about two hundred men there that are
officers, and that the town is full of
horses : that they have pistols and carry
themselves in a disorderly manner, to
the terror of the people ; that my Lord
Digby was there on horseback with
pistols ; that Colonel Lunsford and two
others of that name were there also ;
and that there were two rart-l<ads of
ammunition going to them."

Colonel Lunsford was apprehended,
and committed to the Tower, and the
attejupt of the Royalists was defeated.
Throughout the civil war, however,
Kingston remained faithful to Charles 1.,
and in consequence was repeatedly occu-
pied by both parties.

The last outbreak of the civil war took
place, as we have said, at Kingston, in
.luly, 1648. The Earl of Holland, the
Duke of Buckingham, and Lord Francis
Villiers, had assembled six hundred
horsemen at Reigatc, but had to retreat
upon Kingston, pursued by a consider-
able body of Roundheads.

On a hill near Kingston they made a
final stand, but "after a gallant defence
and as sharp a charge," says one of the
Parliamentarians, "as ever I saw in
these unhappy wars," were routed. They
retreated to Kingston, but withdrew

" SAY WHAT IS WELL AND DO WHAT IS BETTER.'

during the night, liaving lost Lord Francis Villlers
and twiuty others slain, and one hundred made
prisoners. , „ .^.

"Lord Francis hehaved," says Lysons, 'with
signal courage ; and after his horse had been killed
under him, he stood with his back against a tree,
defending himself against several assailants, till at
night he sank under his wounds." Upon the tree
within whose deep shadow hedied, the initials of his
name were carved ))y some faithful adherent, and
there they remained till the tree was felled in 1680.

AN OLD EPITAPH.

" Stay, passemier, and lend a teur,
Yoiith and virtue both lie here.
Reading this, know thou hast seen
Virtue tomVd at hut fifteen.
And if after thou shalt see
Any young and good as he.
Think his virtues are reviving.
For examples of those living.
Practise these, and then thou mat/'st
Fearless die, witere noiv thou stuy'st.

OWEN Feltham.

A NOVEL CAPTURE.
At the time of Pichegru's irruption into Holland
(1795), the frost wasunprecedentedly severe, and the
Texel so completely ice-bouud, that he ordered some
snuadrons of cavalry to charge across the frozen
element, and capture the Dutch fleet locked up in it.

They accordingly clapped spurs to their horses'
sides, surrounded the ships, and made a capture nf
them at the first summons, though their whole
means of offence against a broadside were a few
hundred sabres and horse pistols ! Welielievethat
the occurrence stands without a parallel in ancient
or modern story.

DOUGLAS CASTLE.

Douglas Casti,k is an ancient ruin in Lanarkshire,
not far from Douglas Town. The Douglases, the
nncient owners of the castle, who so closely linked
the district of Douglasdale to Scottish story, were,
says John Hill Burton, the historian, "children of
the soil, who could not be traced back to the race
of the enemy or stranger, as, whatever may have
been their actual origin, they were known as rooted
in Scotland at the time when the Norman adven-
turers crowded in."

The castle, besides all its old-world memories, is
specially interesting as the Castle Dangerous of Sir
Walter Scott's last romance, and the last place to
which he made a pilgrimage in Scotland.

A ROYAL CHESS PLAYER.
A Spanish lord having freciuently played at chess
with Philip XL, and won all the games, perceived
when his majesty rose from play that he was much
ruffled with chagrin. The lord, when he returned
liome, said to his family, "My children, we have
nothing more to do at court : there we must expect
no favour ; for the king is offended at my having
won of him evei-y game of chess." As chess entirely
depends on the genius of the players, and not on
fortune, King Philip, the chess-player, conceived he
ought to suffer no rival.

PUNISHMENT FOR BANKRUPTS.

IN an early and rude state of society,
bankruptcy is always looked upon
with harshness and punished cruelly ;
and perhaps it is really then less excus-
able than It becomes when commerce is
7nore advanced, and the returns of tran-
sactions are less certainly to be depended
on. Even "Venice in old times had its
stone of shame for bankrupts.

Edinburgh followed the example of
that mercantile city, and set up one of
her own in the begmning of the seven-
teenth century. In 1606, the Privy
Council ordered the magistrates of the
Scottish metropolis to erect "a pillory
of hewn stone near the Market Cross ;
upon the head thereof a seat to l>e made,
whereupon in time coming shall be set
all dyvours (bankrupts), who shall sit
tliere on one market-day, from ten
hours in the morning till one hour after
dinner. '

The unfortunates were obliged to wear
a yellow bonnet on these occasions and
for ever after— the livei'y of shivei^y in
the middle ages -unless they paid up
their debts in full, a not uncommon
event in oldEdinburgh, when they could
return to their own taste in the matter
of apparel."

An act of the Lords of Session in 1688,
quoted by Dr. Chambers in his interest-
ing "Domestic Annals of Scotland," is
more particular regarding the indigni-
ties to be visited upon dyvours. It
"oi'dainsthe magistrates of the burgh
(Where the debtor is incarceratecl), before
his liberation out of prison, to cause
him take on, and wear upon his head, a
bonnet, partly of a brown and partly of
a yellow colour, with uppermost hose or
stockings on his legs, half brown and
half yellow coloured, conform to a

"OPPEESSION WILL MAKE A WISE MAN MAD."

pattern delivered to the magistrates of Edinburgh
to be kept in their Tolbooth ; and tliat they cause
take the debtor to the Market Cross between ten
and eleven o'clock in the forenoon, with the foresaid
habit, where he is to sit upon the debtor-stone the
space of an hour, and then to be dismissed ; and or-
dains the debtor to wear the said habit in all time
thereafter ; and in case he be found either wanting
or disguising the same, lie shall lose the benellt of
his bonoraiii."

AN EARLY NAVIGATOR.
Who first doubled the Cape of Good Hope? In this
enlightened age the reply of every schoolboy to this
query will be, " Why, Vascode l:iama, tobe sure." In
Portugal, however, a much more ancient navigator
has been mentioned. Vieyra, an old preacher of
great renown at Lisbon, said in one of his sermons :—
" One man only passed the Cape of Good Hope before
the Portuguese. And who was he? and how?— it
was Jonas in the whale's belly. The whale went
out of the Mediterranean, because he had no other
course: he kept the coast of Africa on the left,
scoured along Ethiopia, passed by Arabia, took port
in the Euphrates on the shores of Nineveh, and,
making his tongue serve as a plank, landed tne
prophet there."

Dr. Southey says that the sermons of Vieyra,
perhaps more than any other compositions in any
language, display the strength and the weakness
of the human mind.

IN HENRY VIII.'S REIGN.

A WRITER in the early part of the sixteenth century
tells us that in his time, in the reign of Henry the
Eighth, the luxury of the table had descended even
to citizens, and that there were few wliose tables
were not daily provided with spoons, cups, and a
saltcellarof silver. Those of a higher sphere affected
a greater profusion of plate ; and the quantity accu-
mulated Ijy Cardinal Wolscy, though the precious
metals are now so copious, still continues to excite
our surprise. At Hampton Court, where he feasted
the French ambassadors and their splendid retinue
in 1528, two cupboards, extending across the lianyuet
chambei's, were piled to the top with plate and illu-
minated ; yet, without encroaching on these osten-
tatious repositories, a profuse service remained for
the table. Two hundred and eighty beds were pro-
vided for the guests ; every chamber had a bason
and ewer of silver, beside other utensils.

PLAIN DEALING.

During Sir Robert Walpole's Administration, when
bribery was common if not universal, there was one
])articular question which he wanted to carry in the
House of Commons, to which he knew there would
be violent opposition, and which was disliked by
some of his own dependents. As he was passing
through the Court of Requests, he met a meml)er of
the opposite party, whose avarice he imagined would
not reject a large bribe. He took him aside, and
said, '■ Such a question comes on this day ; give iiii'
your vote, and here is a bank-l)iH of two thousand
pounds," which lie put into his hands. The inem)>cr
made this answer: "Sir Robert, you have lately
served some of my particular friends ; and when mv
wife was last at Court, the king was very gracious
to her, which must have happened at your instance.
I should therefore think myself very ungrateful
iputtuig the bank-bill into his pocket) if 1 were to re-
fuse the favour you are now pleased to ask me."

WHITFIELD IN PHILADELPHIA,

Ix his autobiography Franklin gives his recollec-
tions of the first visit of Whitfield to Philadelphia:
" In 173J arrived among us the Rev. G. Whitfield.
He was at first permitted to preach in some of our
churches, but the clergy, taking a dislike to him.

soon refused him their pulpits, and he was obliged
to preach in the fields. The multitudes of all sects
and denominations that attended his sermons were
enormous, and it was a matter of speculation to me,
who was one of the number, to observe the extra-
ordinary influence of his oratory on his hearers, and
how much they admired and respected him, not-
withstanding his common a))use of them by assur-
ing them that they were naturally half beasts and
half devils. It was wonderful to sec the change
soon made in the manners of our inhabitants. From
being thoughtless or indifferent about religion, it
seemed as if all the world were growing religious,
so that one could not walk through the town of an
evening without hearing psalms sung in different
families of every street. And it being found in-
convenient to assemble in the open air, subject to
its inclemency, the building of a house to meet in
was no sooner proposed, and per.sons appointed to
receive contributions, but sufficient sums were re-
ceived to procure the ground and erect the build-
ing, which was a hundred feet long and seventy feet
broad ; and the work was carried on with such spirit
as to be finished in a much shorter time than could
have been expected. Both house and ground were
vested in trustees, expressly for the use of any
preacher, of any religious persuasion, who might de-
sire to say something to the people of Philadelphia."

NOTES ON BELLS.

The oldest bells have often mottoes such as we
might expect in the times before the Reformation.
Dedications and invocations to patron Saints are
frequent, or to the Blessed Virgin. Tliere is one
with the letters S. T. O. P. N., which is read " Sancte
Thoma ora pro nobis," the Saint Thomas not being
the primitive apostle, but Thomas a Becket. Some-
times the legend is in poetry, as in the hexameter
line :—

" Virginis egregitB dicor Campana Marice."
In less remote times the insci'iptions were some-
times made to sound humanmerits as wellas Divine
praises. Prayers were asked for the donor of the
liell ; or the donors, when the peal was the result
of combined benevolence, which led to the comical
couplet :—

" At proper time my voice Fll raise.
And sound to my subscribers' praise."
This lively gratitude is frequent in the inscrip-
tions of bells of the eighteenth century, as in those
of Leominster:—

" Ki7id Heaven, increase their bounteous store.
And bless their souls for evermore."
Sometimes the praise is not graven on the bells
but on adjacent tablets, as where a brass plate in-
forms us that—

" Here lies George Theobald, a lover of hells.
And of this church, as this epitaph tells ;
He gave a bell freely to grace the new steeple,
Ring out his praises therefore ye good people."
These trivial records are after all rare and ex-
ceptional in their bad taste, for the mottoes of
most of the bells, old and new, are worthy of their
uses and of the places which they occuiiy. Here
are some of them : —

" Te Deum Laudamus."

Eastbourne.
" Venite, Exultemus Domino."

I'eterborough Cathedral.
" Christe, audi nos."

Westminster Abbey.
" Omnia fiant ad gloriam Dei.''
St. Neots.
"Fear God, honour the King."

St. Nicholas, Brighton.
Wordsworth tells of his favourite church—
" When the bells of Rylston played
Their Sabbath music ' God us ayde '
(That was the sound they seemed to speak}.
Inscriptive legend which, I iveen.
May on those holy bells be seen."

A TRAITOR'S END.

THE central figure in our Illustration
is Lord Wenlock,a noblem;jn of the
reign of Henry VI., who played a promi-
nent but not quite consistent part in the
affairs of those troulilous times. Re-
warded for his services to the Crown, and
wounded in defence of the king at the
battle of St. Albans, he went over to tlie
Duke of York, whom he afterwards de-
serted in order to plot with the Earl of
Warwick for the restoration of Henry.
Having been appointed to high authority
by the Earl of Somerset, he was to have
supported that nobleman at the battle of
Tewkesbury, but failed to do so. Enraged

II at his treachery, the Earl on finding him

I with his troops, cleft his head in twain

|] with a blow of his battle-axe.

! THE LIFE OP MAN.

i! Iv St. Saviour's, Southwark, there is an
il alabaster tomb of an alderman and his
|! two wives, and on it is this inscription,
1 supposed to have been written by Fran-
I cis Quarles. The style is '•ertainly his,
i bU't that quaint poet has beeu credited
I with many productions with which he

I had nothing to do.

Like to the damask rose you see,

II Or like the blossom on the tree.
Or like the dainty flower of May,
Or like the morning of the day.
Or like the sun, or like the shade.
Or like the gourd which Jona:» had,
E'en so is man, whose thread is spun,
Drawn out, and cut, and so is done.
The rose withers, the blossom blasteth,
The flower fades, the morning hasteth.
The sun sets, the shadow flies.
The gourd consumes, and man he dies

WINDSOR CASTLE.
Windsor as a royal castle and domain has existed
from the Saxon era ol our history. The name, ac-
cording to Camden, is from Windlexofra, or Win-
dleshora, from the winding course of the Thames in
this part. Stow, however, gives two other etymo-
logies—from Wind us over, from the ferry-boat,
rope, and pole, and from the Wynd is sore, because
it lies high and open to the weather.

One of the most romantic incidents connected
with Windsor Castle is the imprisonment of
James I., the poet king of Scotland. His captivity
here lasted eleven years, and it was at Windsor
Castle too that he first saw the lady whom he after-
wards made his wife.

He had been taken prisoner by the English when
on his way to France to complete his education. In
justice to his captors, one must allow that they
tr 'ated him well : tiiey by no means stinted him in
learning. He
was tan g li c,
and taught tho-
roughly, says
an old chroni-
cler, " to tight
with the sword,
to tournay, to
wrestle, to sing
and dance ; he
was an expert
m e d i c i n e r,
right crafty in
playing both of
lute and harp,
and s n n d r y
other instru-
ni e n t s of
music, and was
expert in gram-
mar, oratory,

and poetry.'"

After he had
been long at

Windsor, ro-

jnance found

for him a

bride, and

strange to say

it was the very

match that

policy would

have dictated.
He was at

thetimelodged

in what is

known as the

Maiden's To-
wer, or the

Maid of Ho-
nour's Tower,

on the south

side of Wind-
sor Castle, and

south-east of

the Round

Tower, or

Keep. He had

risen at day-
break, he tells

us in his poem

of " The King's

Quhair," and

oppressed with

thoughts of

his captivity,

had strayed to

the window, to

look out on the

active world in

which he had

no share. The

window over-
looked a little

garden, a sweet

spot, laid out

with arbours

and green al-
leys, and so

thickly encompassed with trees and hedges that
passers-by could hardly see into it.

Perched on the green twigs, the nightingale was
singing, and inspired by her song, the royal poet
thought of love, a passion to which he had hitherto
been a stranger, when indulging in tender reflec-
tions, he cast his eyes downwards, and beheld " the
fairest and the freshest young flower" that he had
ever seen. It was a handsome young lady. Her
name, her station, he knew not. She was accom-
panied by two female attendants, and about her
si)orted a little hound jingling with bells "proba-
bly," says Washington Irving, " the small Itahan
greyhound, of exquisite symmetry, which was a
parlour favourite and pet among the fashionable
dames of ancient times."

The lady was no other than Jane, or Joanna, Beau-
fort, a damsel of royal descent by both parents.
She was cousin-german to the king. Without
knowing anything of her station, J.ames fell vio-
lently in love.
History is si-
lent as to how
they met, and
how he de-
claimed his pas-
sion, but we
know this
much, that
Joanna Beau-
fort gave her
heart to her
royal love r,
and that they
lived long in
mutual love
and sincere af-
fection.

The wedding
was celebrated
with great
splendour.
James then
moved north-
wards with a
stately train,
enlarged from
his own coun-
t r y as he
crossed the
border, and
was crowned ai
Scone on the
21st of May in
the year 1424.
The only thing
giving a mer-
cenary touch
to the arrange-
ments was a
demand made
by England for
forty thousand
pounds to pay
for the expense
of his mainte-
nance ; but the
French wars
made money a
strong object
with the Eng-
lish Court, and
the fourth part
— ten thousand
pounds — was
remitted as a
marriage - por-
tion for the
young queen.
James's for-
tune was one
little known
among kings—
to fall in love
with a fair
damsel casu-
ally seen, and
just the right
one too.

THE WOUNDED WARRIORS.

ONE of the illustrious monarchs of
Ireland was Brien Boronilie, who
was killed at the battle of Cloutarf in
the beginning of the eleventh century,
after having defeated the Danes in no
fewer than twenty-five engagements.
It was he of whom Moore wrote the well-
known song :—

"Remember the glories of Brien the brave."

Tliere is an interesting circumstance
related of the Dalgais, the favourite
troops of Brien, when they were inter-
rupted in their return from the battle of
Clontarf by Pitzpatrick, Prince of Os-
sory. The wounded men entreated that
they might be allowed to fight with the
rest.

"Let stakes," they said, "be stuck in
the ground, and suffer each of us, tied to
and supported by one of these stakes, to
be placed in his rank by the side of a
sound man."

Between seven and eight hundred
wounded warriors, pale, emaciated, and
supported in this manner, appeared,
mixed with the foremost of the troops !
Never was such another siLrhtexliibited.

To this incident Jloore has alluded
in the song just mentioned :—

"Forget not our wounded companions,
irho stood
In the day of distress by our side:
While the moss of the valley grew red
with their blood, [died !

They stirred nut, but conquered and
The sun, that now blesses our arms with
its light.
Saw them fall upon Ossory's plain ;—
Oh ! let him not blush, when he leaves us
to-night.
To find that they fell there in vain I "

WAE MAKES THIEVES AND PEACE HANGS THEM.

VALIANT BEHAVIOUR.

When General O' Kelly -was introduced to Louis
XIV., soon after the battle of Fontenoy, his majesty
oltserved.that Clare's regiment behaved well in that
engagement. "Sire," said the general, "they be-
haved well, it is true ; many of them were wounded ;
but my regiment behaved better, for we were all
killed!"

AT THE PLAY.

Emeric GoBiER DE Banault, While ambassador in
Si)ain, was present at the performance of a piece re-
presenting the battle of Pavia, and, seeing a Spanish
actor beat down the person who played Francis I.,
set his foot upon his neck, and compel him to ask
(juarter in the most ignominious terms, was so
transported with rage, that he leaped upon the
stage, and in the presence of the whole audience
ran his sword through his body.

THE CITY WATCH IN 1714.

" All the streets," says Defoe, writing of the Metro-
polis in 1714, "are extremely well guarded by watches,
or guards, who carry no other arms about them
than dubs, or great staffs ; for, as this is a country
of drinking, which often makes mankindfool-hardy,
Hre-arnjs would be of dangerous consequence, if
used here, as they are in the more southern
countries. The watchmen are generally so civil as
to lead a strayed stranger to his lodgings with a
lanthorn: and if he prove mutinous, l)ut not out-
rageous, they only carry him to their round-house,
where he passes the night at a small expense, till
the fumes of his wine are evaporated : but for
vagrant rogues they are very usef uUn carrying them
iiumediateTy to prison : and thus they keep the
peace of the city."

THE KING'S THREE DAUGHTERS.

FouLQUES DB Neuilly, a Celebrated preacher of
his day, addi'essing himself in a prophetic style to
Richard I., King of England, told him he had three
daughters to marry, and that, if he did not dispose
of them soon, God would punish him severely.
" You are a false prophet," said the king ; " I have
no daughter." " Pardon me, sir," replied the priest,
"your Majesty has three. Ambition, Avarice, and
Luxury: get rid of them as fast as possible, else
assuredly some great misfortune will be the con-
sequence." " If It must be so then," said the King,
with a sneer, " I give my Ambition to the Templars,
my Avarice to the Monks, and my Luxury to the
Prelates."

A TALE OF VOLTAIRE.

One day Voltaire, when a young man of about
twenty-four, read to La Motte, wliolnda prodigious
memory, a tragedy which he had written. La Motte
listened with the greatest possible attention to the
end. "Your tragedy is excellent," said he, "and I
dare answer beforehand for its success. Only one
thing vexes me ; you have allowed yourself to
borrow, as I can prove to you, from the second scene
of the fourth act." Voltaire defended himself as
well as he could against the charge. "I say no-
thing," answered La Motte, " which I cannot sup-
port, and to prove it I shall recite this same scene,
which pleased me so much when I first read it that
I got it by heart, and not a word of it has escaped
me." Accordingly he repeated the whole without
hesitation, and with as much animation as if he had
composed it himself. All present, at the reading of
the piece, looked at each other and did not know
what to think. The author was utterly confounded.
After enjoying his embarrassment fora short time—
" Make yourself easy, sir," said La Motte, " the scene
is entirely your own, as much your own as all the
rest ; but it struck me as so beautiful and touching,
that I could not resist the pleasure of committing
it to memory."

REVENGE ON A BANKER.

In the Irish rebellion of 1798, J. C. Beresford, Esq.,
a banker, and member for Dublin, rendered himself
so \ery olmoxious to the rebels, in couseeiuence of
bis vigilance in bringing them to punishment, that
whenever they found any of his bank notes in
plundering a house, the general cry was, "By
thunder! we'll ruin the rascal ! we'll destroy every
note of his we can find!" and they actually de-
stroyed, it is supposed, upwards of £20,000 of his
notes during the rebellion.

OUT ON BAIL.
There were at Rome four different ways of detain-
ing the accused in custody, viz., the common jail ;
commitment to a military guard; commitmeuL to
the c.-ire of the consuls, or other magistrates, in
tlieir own houses; and lastly, security for the per-
son's appearance, which is what we call being out
upon bail.

OLD PLAYING CARDS.

Cards, which were invented at the close of the
fourteenth century, as they were drawn and painted
l)y the hand, were proportionablyidear, and were not
in general use until the reign of Edward the Fourth.
The price of a single pack was 18s. 8d., a very con-
siderable sum in those days. They were originally
very different from those in use at present. In
shape they were square; and instead of suits of
spades, clubs, hearts, and diamonds, their marks
were rabliits, pinks, roses, and flowers of columbine.
The figured cards were veiy prettily devised; a
queen riding on horseback with a rabbit liesideher,
marked the queen of rabbits, or of clubs. A rustic-
looking man, grotesquely dressed, and standing in
a strange attitude, with a pink beside him, signified
the knave of pinks, or diamonds.

"ONE OF THE RIGHT SORT."

M. Fleury was in 1848 private secretary to the
Duchess of Orleans. When the Revolution of Feb-
ruary iM-oke out, a rabble invaded the Palais Royal,
where the princess resided, and began smashing
works of art, lectures, statuettes, and knick-knacks.
All the household was seized with panic except M.
Fleury, who, throwing off his coat, smeared his face
and hands with coal, caught up a poker, and rushed
among the mob, shouting, "Here— I'll show you
where the best pictures are! " So saying, he plied
his poker upon furniture of no value, and, thus
winning the confidence of the roughs, was able to
lead them out of the royal apartments into the
kitchen regions, where they spent their patriotic
fury upon the contents of larder and cellar. A few
days after he had saved the Palais Royal, M. Fleury
was recognised in the streets as the Duchess of
Orlean.s' secretary, and mobbed. He was being
somewhat roughly hustled when a hulking water-
carrier elbowed his way through the throng, and
roared, "Let that man be ! He is one of the right
sort. He led us to the pillage of the Palais Royal
the other day."

A LACONIC INSCRIPTION.

The following lines were found, in 181.S, engraven
on a stcme, among the ruins of the Friary, at Guild-
ford :—
" Si sapiens fore vis, sex serva gum tibi mando
Quid, dicas, et ubi, de quo, cui, qiiomodo, quando.
Nunc leqe, niincora, nunc cumjervore labora,
Tunc er'it hora brevis, et labor ipse levis."
Translation.
" // you are willing to be ivise,
These six plain maxims don't despise :
Both ivhat you speak, and how take care,
Of, and to whom, ana when, and where.
At proper hours, read, v-ork, and pray.
Time then will fly, and work be play."

AN INVASION OF ENGLAND.

WuEN Prince Charlie invaded England
in November, 1745, two thousand High-
landers of his armj^ crossed the Esk at
Longtown. The tide was swollen, and
nothing was seen of them diiring the
passage but their heads and shoulders.
When they reached the opposite shore
the ipipers struck up, and they danced
reels till they were dry again.

The Prince entered England on the 8th
of November, and took up his quarters
at a place called Reddings, in Cumber-
land. On the succeeding day he was
joined by the western column, who
brought with them the unpleasant news
that they had lost thirty carts of the
baggage in consequence of a surprise by
the country people at Lockerby.

Even thus early on their progress
southwards, the Highland army lost a
wreat portion of its number by desertion.
The eastern column, led by Charles him-
self, suffered most liy this cause, the
disinclination to a southward march
prevailing chiefly among the Camerons
and Macdonalds. The Lanarkshire and
Stirlingshire roads are described as
having for some days absolutely swarmed
with the men who thus abandoned the
standard ; and great quantities of arms
were found lying in the fields adjacent
to the line of march, which the deserters
had flung away to facilitate their pro-
gress towards the north.

TINTERN ABBEY.

Thk picturesque ruins of Tintern Abbey are situated
in Monmouthsliire, eiglit miles above Chepstow, on
tlie river "Wye. The style is a transition from Early
English to Decorated, and in beauty of composition
and delicacy of execution the abbey yields to few
edifices in the l;ingdom. Tintern was built on the
siiot where Theodoric, Kingof Glamorgan, was killed
whilst fighting under the banner of the cross
against the pagan Saxons in the year 600. The abbey
was founded in 1131. Tintern has always been a
favoured locality for poets and visitors of a poetic
turn of mind.

SUMMARY JUSTICE.

Thk laws made by Rirhard I. for the i)reservation
of good order in his fleet when sailing to Palestine,
are worthy of notice. They were as follows :— " He
that kills a man on ship-board, shall be tied to the
liody, and thrown with it into the sea. If he kills
one on land he shall be buried with the same. If it
be proved that any one has drawn a knife to strike
another, or has drawn blood, he shall lose his hand,
if he strikes with his fist without effusion of blood,
lie shall be thrice plunged into the sea. If a man
insult anotherwith opprobrious language. so oftenas
he does it, to give so many ounces of silver. A man
convicted of theft to have his head shaved, tarred,
and feathered, and to lie left on the first land the
ship shall come to." Richard appointtd officers to
see these laws executed with rigour, two (jf which
were bishops.

A CHILD'S TOY.

FOK the amusement of Louis the Fourteenth, when
a child, a piece of mechanism was constructed by a
M. Camus, that probably was never exceeded Viy the
ingenuity of man. It consisted of a small coach,
drawn by two horses, in which was the figure of a

lady, with a footman and page behind. This coach
being placed at the extremity of a table of a deter-
minate size, the coachman smacked his whip, and
the horses immediately set out, moving their legs
in exact imitation of the natural action of those ani-
mals. When the carnage reached the edge of the
table, it turned at a right angle, and proceeded along
that edge. When it arrived opposite the place where
the king was seated, it stopped, and the page getting
down opened the door ; upon which the lady alighted,
h;iving in her hand a petition, which she presented
with a curtsy. After walking some time she
again curtsied, and re-entered the carriage ; the
page then resumed his place, the coachman whipped
his horses, which began t(j move, and the footman,
running after the carriage, jumped up behind it.

POPULAR PASTIMES.

Thk p pular pastimes of the time of James the First
are enumerated iu the following lines, in a little
work entitled "The Letting of Humour's Blood in
the Head-vaine; with a new Morisco daunccd by
seven Satyres upon the bottome of Diogenes'
tubbe.' 8vo. Lond., 1611.
" Man, I dare challenge thee to throw the sledge,
To jump or leape over ditch or hedge,
To wrastle, play at stooleball, or to runne :
To pitch the barre, or to shoote off a gunne :
To play at loggets, nine holes, or ten pinnes :
To try it out at foot-ball by the shinnes :
At ticktacke, Irish noddie, maw, and ruffe.
At hot-cockles, leap-frog, or blindman-btiffe ;
To drink halfe-pots, or deale at the whole can :
To play at base, or pen-nnd-ynkhorne Sir Jhan ;
To daunce the morris, play at barley-breake.

At shove-groate, ventei'-poynt, ov crosse and pile.
At beshrow him that's last at yonder style ;

THE BANK IN DANGER.

DURING the formidable riots of 1780,
the Bank of England was in con-
siderable danger. In one night there
had arisen the flames of six-and-thirty
tires. The Catholic chapels and the tal-
low-chandlers' shops had been univer-
sally desti-oyed ; Newgate had been
sacked and burned. The mob, half
thieves, at last decided to march upon
the Bank, but precautions had fortu-
nately been taken there. The courts and
roof of the building were defended by
armed clerks and volunteers, and there
were soldiers ready outside. The old
pewter inkstands had been melted down
into bullets. The rioters made two
rushes : the first was checked by a volley
from the soldiers ; at the second, which
was less violent, Wilkes rushed out, and
with his own hand dragged in some of
the ringleaders. Leaving several killed
and many wounded, the discomfited mol)
at last retired.

These were the celebrated "No Popery
Riots." Blue ribbons were generally
mounted to give assurance of sound
Protestantism, and it was a prevalent
movement to chalk up "No Popery" in
large letters on doors. A foreign Jew in
Houndsditch, we read, inscribed on bin
door, "This house is a sound Protestant."
Grimaldi, an Italian actor newly come to
England, with exquisite satire, put up
on his door " No religion ! "

The leader in this strange outburst
was Lord George Gordon, who was
thrown into the Tower and tried for high
treason, but a jury decided that the case
did not warrant such a charge, and he
was acquitted. The best condemnation
that could be administered to the zealots
he had led was the admission generally
made of his insanirv.

A PROOF OF LEARNING.

Ik the old romance of the Seven Sages of Rome it
is related that these masters ascertained if their
IHHiil was sufficiently learned by placing four leaves
of ivy under each post of his bed. Unaware of w)iat
had been done, the pupil betook himself to rest, but
in the morning when he awoke—

" The child looked here and there,

Up and down and everywhere.

Mis masters asked, ' What him teas ? '

'Parfai /' he said, ' aferly case !

Either I am of wine drunk.

Either the firmament is sunk,

Either waxen is the ground

The thickness of four leaves round :

So much, tonight, higher I lay,

Certes, than I lay yesterday.' "
The sages were now fully satisfied.

" The masters then well understood

He knew enough of all good."

A PHILOSOPHER'S EPITAPH.

Paul Pateb, professor of mathematics at Dnntzlc,
died on the 7th of December, 1724, in his 68th year,
leaving this epitaph for his tomb ; "/fie situs est
Paulus Pater, mathematum professor, qui nescivit in
vita quid sit cum morbis conftictari. ire moveri^ cupi-
ditate aduri. Decessit vita coelebs. In Enghsh it
may run, " Here lies Paul Pater ,professor of mathe-
matics, who knew not in this life what ic was to be
afflicted with disease, to be moved by anger, or in-
flamed by avarice. He lived and died a bachelor."

Jj'epitaphe est cells d'un veritable philosophe, says
his biographer: and perhaps truly, if the French
academy be the true school of philosophy. I think
that he was a better and a wiser man, who, con-
cealing his name, caused his grave to be inscribed,
" Vixi, Peccavi, Poenitui, Naturae Cessi." " I lived,
sinned, repented, and died."

This epitaph was, in Camden's time, to be seen
" in the cloister on the north side of Saint Paules,
now ruinated."

CURIOSITIES OF PARISH REGISTERS.

Tii ROUGH scarcity of paper or the way wardness of
the keepers, many strange notices have found their
way into parochial registers, those barren abstracts
of the annals of mortality,

" where to be born and die

Of rich and poor makes all the history."

An old record of funerals at Aberdeen gives a re-
cipe for averting the pains to which weak brains
are exposed by a debauch overnight, or as it is
phrased,! "Against the held aiking by to muckill
drinking." Another legal record at the same place
is enlivened by two fashionable songs of the year
1507. A private note-book is elsewhere preserved,
where Scripture texts, memoranda of Puritan ser-
mons, and the last words of dying Covenanters, are
huddled up with such profane tunes as " If the Kirk
would let me be," " The Rantin' Laddie," and
" Green grow the rashes." More useful, but scarcely
less impertinent, entries occur in English registers.
At Ricliniond, in Yorkshire it is written, "Buried,
Mr. Matthew Hutchinson, Vicar of Gilling,— worth
£50 a-year;" and, "Buried, Mrs. Ursula Allen,—
worth £600." This superfluity is perhaps more to be
commended than the slovenly style of the clerk of
Lincoln's Inn Chapel: "1722. This day were married
by Mr. Holloway, I think, a couple whose names I
could never learn, for he allowed them to carry
away the licence."

Prance furnishes still more amusing examples.
The curate of Saint Andre-des-Arts subjoins to the
entry of a marriage on the 31 st July, 1589, the
following amiahle reflections : " On the first day of
August, 1589, Henry de Valoys, sometime King of
France, was in arms at Saint Cloud.with his heretics
and the King of Navarre and his abetters, laying
sieao -o Paris, of which he had given the pillage to
the robbers of all sects who accompanied him,
having sworn the death of every person of condition
within its walls, except htretics and their adherents,

so that he might overthrow the Church of our Lord,
and establish heresy in the heart of Prance. But by
the just judgment of God, who would not suffer
such a perverse tyrant and hypocrite to reign any
longer, he was slain l)y a religious of the order of
the Jacobins, called Friar Jacques Clement, which
religious (may his soul rest in peace 1) was instantly
murdered by the attendants of the said Henry."

" On the 30th of June, 1644," writes the priest of
La Villette, " I said mass for the repose of the soul
of Francois Caiguet, who was my good friend, and
made several gifts ',o my church." Another curate
of the same place expresses himself thus : " Buried
on the 21st of December, 1675, Jean Tessier, labourer,
. . . a mild and peaceable man, who on all occasions
showed great deference and respect to his pastors."

AN OLD COLLECTION OF JESTS.
A CURIOUS book was left in manuscript by the poet
William. Drummond of Hawthornden. On the title-
page of it was inscribed, " DEMOCRiTiE,a Labyrinth
of Delight, or Worke preparative for the Apologie
of Democritus; containing the Pasquills, Apo-
theames, Impresas, Anagrames, Epitaphes, Epi-
graines, in French, Italiane, Spanishe, Latine, of this
and the late age before." Specimens of this collection
have been printed in the ArcbaeologiaScotica. The
following extracts from it will, we hope, be found
not uninteresting. Some of them, it will be ob-
served, carry the genealogy of certain familiar jests
a hundred years beyond the work of Mr. Joseph
Miller.

A Frenchman said, above all the pies in England,
he loved occupy.

A physician wondered how his horse could be sick,
and not change his cohmr.

One examining a milkmaid, asked her if she did
keep the ten commandments? "No," says she, " I
keep sheep."

One who had fired a pipe of tobacco with a ballad,
swore he heard the singing of it in his head there-
after for the space of two days.

A gentleman of Bedlam being asked if ever he
was married, "You know all," says he, "I am mad,
yet was I never so mad as to marry."

At Oxford, a professor having got a new gown,
someone saying it was too short, answered, "Let it
alone, it will be long enough ere I get another."

A painter being challenged for having painted a
unicorn without a horn, replied, " It was not yet a
year old, and that with time the horn would come."

When they told George Buchanan that the Earl of
Mar had gotten the government of the young king,
he asked presently, "Who then shall have the
government of the Earl of Mar 1"

An honest man falling unawares in a ditch,
desired his servant to help hiin out of it. ' Stay a
little," replied his servant, "till I see if this be in
my covenant, otherwise I will call some other to
help you."

George Buchanan said to one who complained, as
they were riding, of the weakness of his memory,
'■ that his horse was a great deal more forgetful, for,
being but even now stricken with his spurs, he
forgot it presently."

Queen Elizabeth entering Bristol, a speech was to
be delivered to her. The honest man begun, " May it
please your sacred majesty, I am the mouth of the
town ; " and then, all amazed, forgot the rest. She,
sporting, said once or twice, "Speak, good mouth 1 '

One asking alms, being inquired what calling he
was of, answered, "He was a poor scholar;" l)ut
when he was set to read, and could do nothing, he
replied, " He told them truly that he was liut a poor
scholar, for he could not read so much as a single
letter."

Two Low Country men being in Scotland, the one
asked the other how it was possible the men were
so tall and big, and the horses so little? "Do you
not know that," said the other, "the men here eat
all the horses' bread?" meaning, of our oat bread
which the commons use.

The Marquis of Hamilton came to visit Sir Francis
Bacon after the time of his great disaster, but found
few to open his doors ; and asking him how he did,
''■ Well," replied he, " your lordship is come to see a
ruinous building, for the rats and vermin are all
fled away from me."

ONE man's fault IS ANOTHER MAN'S LESSON."

WHAT'S IN A SURNAME?

There is a sreat deal in surnames. What glimpses
of old life they sometimes give us : they are little
bits of history; revelations of human interest;
scraps of poetry and humour; notes of affection,
ridicule, sarcasm, and impertinence; often stories
condensed into a single word. It is not surprising
that they go to form a subject possessing a peculiar
fascination, and that some people on their way
through the world keep their eyes on signboards
and their fingers turning over directories.

It is a common error to suppose that surname is a
corruption of sirename, and only another way of
saying /rtf/i er's wa?Me. The word either means owr-
name-a name given over and above the Christian
name— or had its origin in the fact that at first the
family name was written over (sur) the other
name, as

" de Cobbeham
John."

Names certainly go back to Adam, but the origin
of surnames is nothing like so remote. They cannot
be traced much farther .back than the latter part of
the tenth century. They were first employed in
France, and particularly in Normandy, and at the
Conquest were brought into England.

According to Mr. Lower, the practice of making
the second name stationary and transmitting it to
descendants came gradually into common use during
the eleventh and three following centuries. It was
not, however, established on anything like its
present footing till the time of the Keformation.
The introduction of parish registers may have
materially ctmtributedto encourage the practice.

Partnerships sometimes bring about ])eculiar con-
junctions of names. There are well-authenticated in-
stances of Sparrow and Nightingale, Birch and School-
ing, Able and Willing, and several others equally ap-
propriate. Catchem and Cheetham for a legal firm is,
however, probably an invention, and so with Pen
Quill, and Driver. The best that can be said of these
is that they are ((uite possible ; so are Coy and Shy,
Quarrel and Millachap, Bagwell and Saclcit, Bush-
fortn and Hastaway, Blinks and Winks, Bacon and
MuUon, Child and Littleboy, Trip and Golightly,
Found and Pickup, Gabble and Chataway, Gaze and
Stare, Breeze and Bloio, Charity and Scattergood,
Strongfelloiv and Slenderman, Angler and Fish,
Mouser and Cat, Day and Knight.

In Scotland the locality of some names is par-
ticularly well defined. We have MacDonald, Mac-
Kenzie, Robertson, and Steioart, in the north ; Scott,
Kerr, Blliot, Johnston, and Maxwell, in the south ;
Gordon, Forbes, Grant, and Ogilvie. in the east ; and
Campbell. Cameron, MacLean, and Kennedy, in the
west. "This arises from the clansmen having
made a practice of taking the name of their chiefs
and considering themselves members of their
family by adoption if not otherwise."

There are some names met with in England which
appear never to have crossed ihe Border. Amongst
those of which England may thus claim to have a
monopoly, we find Churchyard, Deadman, Sccnnp,
Sivindler, Gotobed, Slaughter, Startup, Tv^entyman,
Allbones, Littleprond, Fudge, Puddle, and Wildblood.

The most prevalent surnames in Scotland, accord-
ing to Mr. George Seton, are Smith, the name of one
person in every sixty-nine; MacDonald. one in
seventy-eight; Brown, one in eighty-nine, Robert-
son, one in ninety-erne ; Campbell, one in ninety-two ;
Thompson, one in ninety-five ; and Steivart, one in
ninety-eight. " One person in every twelve in Scot-
land," says Mr. Seton, " will answer to one or other
of these seven names."

The Smiths in England and Wales are calculated
to be about one in every seventy-three of the popu-
lation. If we take the three common names of
Smith, Jones, and Williams, one person in every
twenty-eight will answer to one or other of them.

Life with a good number is a struggle at the best,
and the success that attends us is influenced more
than people sometimes think by the names we bear.
Even the sound of a name is of consequence*.
" Harsh names," says Isaac Disraeli, "iwill have, in
spite of all our philosophy, a pamfnl and ludicrous
effect on our ears and our associations. It is
vexatious that the softness of delicious vowels or
the ruggedness of inexoral)le consonants should at

all be connected with a man's happiness, or even
have an influence on his fortune."

Some names, indeed, are almost fatal to success-
they simply suggest jokes and encourage familiarity.
A man has no hesitation in proving "by thumps
upon your back how he esteems your merit" if you
are called Twigger, or Tapp, or Trundle, or Littleboy,
but he would hardly venture on it were you a more
aristocratic Montgomery, or a Gascoic/ne.

For a man to inherit an absurd or insignificant
name is to have a stone tied i-ound his neck in
childhood to keep him all his life in the depths of
obscurity. It would be diflicult to find a famous
character in literature, art, or anything else, with a
surname the least approaching in character to, say,
Toothaches, or Bang, or Baby. Who could fancy a
Sguib, or a Gabble, visited at any time by the inspira-
tions of genius ?

John Wilkes expressed this idea once in con-
versation with Dr. Johnson. Thev were speakin-,'
of Elkanah Settle, the last of the City Poets. "There
is something,' in names," said Wilkes, "which one
cannot help feeling. Now Elkanah Settle sounds so
queer ; who can expect much from that name ?
We should have no hesitation to give it for John
Dryden in preference to Elkanah Settle from the
names only, without knowing their different
merits."

Considerations such as these— not to speak of
testamentary injunctions and conditions attached
to deeds of entail— have induced people from time
to time to change their names. The world lieing as
it is, and man's instinct leading him to fasten on
and worry the ridiculous, it is often a sensible pro-
ceeding. Cuthbert is made to take the place of
Cuddy,Mc Alpine of Halfpenny, Belconibe of Bullock,
De Winton of Wilkins, and Epliraini Bug is trans-
formed into the aristocratic Norfolk Hoivard.

It seems to be the established law both of Eng-
land and Scotland thac one can take a surname or
change it at pleasure without any royal, parliamen-
tary, or judicial authority whatever. No permission
is needed ; the only difficulty is to get other people
to recognise the change. The ordinary method,
however, is to obtain a royal licence, tiie chief use
of which appears to be in proving identity, should
that ever be necessary.

In connection with short names, a pleasant anec-
dote is quoted by Disraeli from Puller : " An opulent
citizen of the name of John Cuts (what name can be
more unluckily short?) was ordered by Elizabeth to
receive the Spanish ambassador, but the latter
complained grievously, and thought he was dis-
paraged by the shortness of the name. He ima-
gined that a man bearing a monosyllabic name
could never, in the great alphabet of civil life, have
performed anything great or honourable ; but when
he found that honest John Cuts displayed a hos-
pitality which had nothing monosyllabic in it,
he groaned only at the utterance of the name of his
host."

The various spellings of the name Shakespeare
have been collected by Mr. J. O. Halliwell-Phillips,
and the following list, which gives the result of
his researches, "is very instructive," says Mr. A.
J. Ellis, "as to the capabilities of the English
language to indulge the tastes of those wh» hold
that variety is charming."

In Scotland the most remarkable instances of
the various spelling of surnames are found in
Lindsay, Stirling, and Montgomery, which appear
to have been written respectively in no fewer
than eighty-eight, sixty-four, and forty-four w.r.r-
ent forms.

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE AND
ANNUITIES.

The lives of the persons of either
sex between the ages of 14 and 65
may be insured for not less than
£5 nor more than £100: or if the
amount does not exceed £5, not
under the age of 8 years. The
Postmaster-General is also em-
powered to grant Immediate or
Deferred Annuities for any
amount not less than £1 or more
than £100 to any person not under
the age of 5 years.

The following examples show
various ways in which Insurances
may be effected :— The life of a
I\Iaie or Female between 21 and
22 years of age may be insured for
£10, by an annual payment
throughout life of 4s. 4d. (id. a
week) ; or by an annual payment
to the age of 60 of 4s. 8d. ; or by a
single payment of £4 48. ; or a
person between 21 and 22 years of
age having, say, £9 deposited in
the Post Office Savings Bank, the
interest on which is 4s. 6d. a year,
can direct that 4s. 4d. of this
amount of interest be applied to
the payment of premiums on a
Life Policy for £10; he can thus
maintain his Life Insurance with-
out decreasing his capital of £9.

A sura of money may be insured
on the attainment of the age of
60 years, or sooner in the event of
death, by the payment of a single
or annual premium, and a sum of
money may be insured at the
expiration of lo, 15, 20, 25, 30, .35, or
40 years, or sooner in the event
of death, by the payment of a
single premium according to the
age of the insured person.

INTEREST TABLL

Without giving an elaborate
series of tabulated figures to as-
certain the interest due on anv
given sura, at 2^, 3, 5, or any other
rate per cent., any pc.-son may cal-
culate for himself the amount of
interest by a very simple process.
The amount of interest upon one
pound for every month at 5 per
cent, is one penny. Having ascer-
tained what any given sum
amounts to at 5 per cent., other
rates maybe calculated l)y adding
to, or dividing it, thus : g moiiths.
5percent.for£80wouldbe£2 6
2j per cent., which is one-
half 1

3 per cent, is six-tenths . . 1
3J per cent, is seven-tenths 1

4 per cent, is four-flf ths . . 1
If the intei-est should be more

than 5 per cent., then the extra
rate of interest must be added.
Thus for 6J per cent, add one-
fourth ; for 74 per cent, add one-
half.
