Whenever there is any special in
terest In the House of Lords, articles
appear in the papers in regard to the
composition Of this body, and much
stress Is always laid upon the extremely
modern origin of the existing peerages,
and il is stated that the ancient nobility
aze "a mere handful 1t has been
said that the number who can date
their nobility back to the days of the
later Tudors does not exceed score.
These statements are not true, and the
error has probably arisen from ignor-
ing the fact that many ancient baronies
and earldoms are merged In recently
created titles of higher grade. For
example. when the earldom of De La
War; was conferred upon the family Of
West, in 1861, three ancient baronies
were merged, one OF which had been
enjoyed by the family in an unbroken
male line since 1912, in the reign of
Edward III. At the present time the
House of Lords consists of 26 spiritual
and 4S3 temporal peers, including 6
princes, 16 Scotch representative peers
chosen for each Parliament, and %
Irish representative peers elected for
life. There are also peereases, 8
minors, and 81 Scotch and Irish peers
who have nc seat in the House. The
total nobility of the United Kingdom
numbers $50, of whom 80 strictly
English peers are in possession of titles
enjoyed by their ancestors prior to the
death of Queen Elizabeth, in 1908; 10
Irish peers and 80 Scotch peers can
Ia - -. he
period, some of them very ancient. All
of the Scotch peers, 81 in number, were
created prior to the union with En-
gland in 1907.
1t may be stated here that with the
exception of few old baronies by writ,
and a few special remainders, all of the
English and Irish patents are to him
and the heirs male of his body" while
the Scotch remainders are much more
comprehensive, and thus Scotch title
rarely becomes extinct. During the
reigns of the four Stuart kings Of
England 603-16SS-66 of the existing
English peerages were created, and "a
of the Irish. Several of these were
conferred upon scions of royalty and of
the ancient nobility.
OF 3S9 peerages of Great Britain,
Ireland and the United Kingdom con-
ferred upon commoners since 1858,
about score have been given to scions
of noble houses, a considerable number
of ancient gentlemen" and the vast
majority to successful politicians,
soldiers, merchants, etc., at least $50 of
whom are sprung from families that
were comparatively obscure $50 years
ago. Many of the founders of noble
houses (?) in Ireland were rascally
English adventurers, and the peerage
of Ireland is not particularly repu-

The Birthplace OF Liberty.

From Woburn / advanced on Licking
ton. 1t is very pretty village, and
externally contains but few evidences
of poor folks. The historic green on
which the battle was fought was a
small triangular piece of ground, in
closed by railing and shaded with elm
and hickory trees. 1t contains q
liberty pole, by which is a mounted
iron cannon, and at little distance is
q plain granite shaft, erected in 1899 to
the memory of the seven men of Lex
ington. who fell there. L notice that
one "John Brown also died at Licking
ton. About the top or "lubber" of the
liberty pole is gilt inscription in
dicating this as "the birthplace of
American liberty" 1t was q warm In
dian summer October afternoon when
sat on the green. The quiet reignihg
oyer the village was such that the crow
Of rooster could be heard through the
entire place. A gang of Italians en-
gagged on some public work were roll

talking and laughing were on their way

A Cat and a Sparrvw.

A cat caught sparrow, and, after
breaking one of its wings, commenced
playing with it preparatory to devour-
ing it. But the bird sent its bill into
the cats nose to such purpose as to de.
moralize the animal, and he retreated.
The two then became CLOSE friends.
They ate, drank, and slept together;
the bird rode around the house on the
cats back, and the latter would not
even touch its food until the sparrow
had satisfied its appetite. One morn
ing the bird found the window open,
and, feeling strong of wing, took un-
ceremonious leave. The cat neither
died nor lost its appetite, a circum-
stance which is regarded as most aston
ishing in view of the current senti-
mental anecdotes.

The most elaborate rooms as regards
furniture were the dining rooms. AS q
matter Of course, they greatly varied in
shape, but the arrangement of them
was essentially the same. In many of
the wealthiest houses there were differ
emit dining-rooms for different seasons
of the year-warm rooms for winter;
cooler, with northern aspect, for sum-
mer. Lucullus, who was famous for
his luxurious banquets, had dining
rooms adapted to the rank of his guests
and the costliness of the entertainments
that he gave in them, and If he were
but to indicate the room In which he
was to dine, everything was arranged
accordingly. In the last days OF the
republic, when the Romans feasted
hundreds of persons, the banquet was
prepared in the peristyle OF the house,
or in immense halls built especially for
the purpose, and adorned with rows of
columns. Halls of this kind seemed
almost indispensable in the palace of
that time, but even here the tables were
very numerous and Independently ar
ranged. The ordinary dining-room
had but one table, and this was placed
in the center, with O cushioned seat or
couch running round on three sides,
for the Greeks as we'll as the Romans
never sat at meals, but ate in a reclin-
ing posture. The fourth side was al
ways left open for the convenience of
the servants who waited upon the Ia
ble Great stress was laid upon the
costliness of these tables, both in ma
terial and artistic finish. They were
lower than ours, to accommodate the
recumbent guests, and their form was
else influenced by the practice of re-
Ginning at meals. The ancients did not
put their limbs under the tables as we
do, the tabletop not projecting as
much as that of modern dining table.
This rendered the feet and framework
of antique tables q great deal more
conspicuous, and could be much more
richly ornamented. The feet and
framework of tables were often carved
in the shape of various kinds of figures.
Sometimes the tops rested on the wings
of two griffins placed back to back, on
feet of lions, or other animals. Tables
were often made, among the weather.
Romans, of precious metals, or of mar
bic and bronze, or had legs of bronze,
which supported a marble or wooden
slab. Only nine persons could dine at
one of these tables, for the ancients
had rule that the number of guests
should not be greater than that of the
MUSES. or less than the Graces.-
O.. Hall, in the NeW York Graphic.

Lost Faith I'm Physicians.

There are innumerablo instances where
cures have been effected by Scovill's Sarsa-
parilla, or Blood and Liver Syrup, for all dis
eases of the blood, when they had been given
over by their physicians. 1t is one OF the
best remedies ever offered to the public, and
as IL is prepared with the greatest care, as a
specific for certain diseases, 1t is no wonder
that 1t should be more effectual than hastily

would get the top price, they should use the

A curious observer at Saratoga
says that in a store he stood near to
a girl who was examining several
pieces of light pink satin. She had
pushed up the sleeve of her dress
somewhat, and was lying the fabrics,
one after another, across the exposed
part of her arm. "This is a match
now" she remarked to her compan-
ion, "but it's rather cool this morning,
and I'm afraid it wouldn't do in case
the weather should turn hot. / get
awfully pink, don't you know?" She
was selecting material to put under
the lace at the neck of her bodice.
and her desire was to have it the ex.
act hue of her complexion. But her
own shade, unlike that of the satin,
varied with the temperature, and so
raised complication which puz-
zled her. She solved the problem by
taking two shades of the cloth, thus
preparing herself for the ruddiness
of torrid occasion and the palor of
of cool day.
