Many are the tragical incidents con-
uected with the Tower of London in
the time Of the Edwards and Henrys.
There was Griffin, Prince of Wales,
who had been betrayed by his own bro
her, and who was lodged in the room
once occupied by Flambard. Remem.
boring the method of the Bishops es
cape lie was tempted to do likewise.
He tore his bed clothes into strips, and
made rope, with which he endeavored
to lower himself to the ground. But
he was a heavy man and the clothes
would not bear his weight. The coil
snapped, and he was precipitated to the
ground, breaking his neck by the fall,
and dying on tie spot. But in the year
! 1895 the Tower received greater than
Griffin as prisoner, for in that yeaI

walls. From thence he was conveyed
70 a death which has left on Edward's
name a stigma Of cruelty, and ont
which shows he lacked that spirit Of
generosity which has distinguish,
many Of the greatest warriors. Wallace
was put through a form of trial, am
then dragged through the streets 0
London, tied to horses tails, and hange
70 gaIlows till nearly dead. His bow

on the south Of the Trent were sent
prisoners to the Tower, where the mas
ter of that celebrated order died. Their
destruction was accustomed by the prof
ligacies and vices which are reported to
have reigned among them, for they
were charged with robbery, murder,
and habits of the most shocking de.
scription. Many Welsh chiefs were
also captives in the Tower at this
period. 1t was also the scene of many
meetings between the traitor Mortimer,
and Edwards misguided queen, who
connived at, if she did not actually as
sist in, her lovers escape. History re-
cords terrible ending to Mortimer's
career. In l34G, on Edwards expedi-
ton into Normandy, and the capture
of Cden-"a goodly town, and full OF
drapery and other merchaudyse and
richie burge5ses, aud noble ladyes and
damosels. and fayre churches, and one
Of the fayrest castels in all Normandy"
1.-THE Count d En-, Constable of France,
and the Count de Tankerville, and many
of the most opulent citizens who were
made prisoners on that occasion, and
brought with an immense booty into
England, were lodged under conine-
ment in the royal fortress. OF famous
Scotch captives there were King David
Bruce, and the Earls of Monteith and
Fife. Monteith paid the penalty Of his
crime as traitor. He was hanged and
quartered, his head being placed on
London Bridge, and the four parts of
his body sent to York. The Earl of
Fife was spared on account of lis rela.
tionship with the King. The Jews in
London fell under Edward HIS severe
displeasure for tampering with the coin
of the realm. Six hundred Of them
were thrown into the dungeons of the
Tower. Finally all their race were BAN
ished from England, the King COMPEL
ing them to leave behind their immense
wealth and their libraries. The latter
were extremely rich in various kinds of
literature, and they were handed over
to the monasteries. 1t was in the time
of Richard ii. that the scaffold was
first raised on Tower Hill. Its earliest
victim was Sir Thomas Burley, of
whom Froissart says ga noble knight
found him, safe and WISE" The
Black Prince had appointed Burley
companion of his son, Richard H., and
it was because of faithfulness to his
trust that he fell into disgrace. The
Kings uncles, the Dukes of York and
Gloucester, who had usurped the royal
power, caused Burnley to be arrested,
and although the Queen pleaded for the
unfortunate knight upon her knees, and
with tears, he was beheaded III 1888.

Rev. Minot Savage In a recent Lee
ture In Boston referred to the almost |
universal belief existing, in all classes |
Of society, in some sort of superstition. |
The victims are more than half asham-
ed Of them, because they do not more
than half believe in them, yet 50 strange
is the fascination that when they are
alone they are mastered by these same
superstitions. The speaker then referr-
ed to some of the popular superstitions
Of che present day, such, for instance,
as wearing red yarn around the neck
to prevent nose bleed, carrying horse
chestnut in the pocket to prevent rheu-
matism, the fear Of ladies to walk under
ladder, the sticking of jackknife in
the head of the bed to prevent cramps,
and the reluctance of some people to
enter and depart from a house by diff
ferent doors. The superstition that it
was unlucky TO dean bad dreams three
nignts III succeasiOu was one in which
the lecturer believed, for it showed that

and had otherwise neglected to take
proper care of himself. The supersti.
tion regarding the number thirteen
was ridiculed, as was also that regard
ing getting the first sight at the new
moon over the left shoulder. The idea
or superstition that a chIld's hair OIL
finger nails should be cut during the
increase of the moon was made light
of, the speaker querying what possible
interest the moOn-situated hundreds
of thousands Of miles from the earth
could have in such small matters. The
upsetting of a saltcelar, a dog barking
out of a window, wearing garments
wrong side out, and adjoining walls
Z with horse SHOES were referred to, and
t the significance given to them by su.
E perstitious people, and the superstition
l regarding sneezlng, prevalent in oldel
h times, dwelt upon, the act of sneeZing
A being believed TO be the repulse of al
e attempt of an evil spirit to enter the
e soul. Star worship, carried on eXten
e sively at the present day, was alluded
h to, and, regarding superstitions in gen
e eral, the speaker argued that the VIC

AsKiuuLruRE.

HoRsns ere most liable to have sore
shoulders in early spring, when unac-
customed to work. Ii humanity does
not lead to care in prevention and cure,
interest will prompt it, for certainly g
horse with sound shoulders will co
more work than If these be swollen and
lacerated. Prevention Is better than
cure. The first point is to secure good,
we'll fitting collars, those of soft leath-
err, of equal hardness on both sides.
Many collars are stuffed more solldly
on one side than the other, and should
be rejected. The horse should be fitted
10 collar at the shop, as two very sell
dom have shoulders exactly alike. We
have often wondered that farmers do
not have collars made specially for each
horse. The cost would be amply re-
paid as it is slight compared with the
increased service that would thus be
secured. We prefer a collar stuffed
with hair. The leather should be kept
well oiled, especially where meeting
the shoulder. Pure meats foot oil
makes the leather soft and plahle, and
is a good preventive end cure for sore
shoulders. Cloth collars are now made,
and cloth pads to cover the entire col
lar face.
