Pepper-corn Rent.

The term "pepper-corn rent" is famil-
lar one, and instances of such rent hav-
ing been fixed are neither few nor far be-
tween. Thus Bermeton, in Durham, was
held by the service of three grains of pep
per yearly; Finchley, in Middlesex, by the
annual rent of a pound pepper; Highgate,
in Denbigh, was leased for a term of 500
years at the annual rent of one pepper-corn,
and for fortieth part of one knights fee
in the manor of Leyham, in Suffolk, Phi
lippa Ross rendered zone capon and the
third part of one capon and the third part
of one pound of pepper" A similar Gus
tom was that of Pokerley, in Durham,
which lands were held 'shy one Glove on
St. Cuthbert's Day, in September, for all
other services. - CdsseH.

Don't be too soft Don't say:-9These

work when they are mine, and aYou shall
have nothing to do in our home but to sit
all day long and chirp to the canaries, as
if any sensible woman could be happy fool
ing away time in that sort of style, and a

Why are bricks red? Bricks and COM
mon potteryware owe their red color to the
iron naturally contained in the clay of
which they are formed, the iron, by the
action of heat, being converted into the red
oxide of iron. Some varieties of clay con-
tain little or no iron, and the bricks made
from it are, consequently, of light-yellow
color

Pictorial Journalism.

What must be the taste and the forbear-
ance of people who accept or submit to
the vile pictorial features of the press. To
man of sense and intelligence they arean
offense that excellence of other features can
hardly palliate These pictures distort, be-
little, belle and falsify the original in a
most hopeless way. They are made without
art; they are published without conscience.
If the cave-dwelers and the mound-builders
were living, such papers would find their
best constituencies among them. The pic
torial efforts of the savage who scratches a
few outlines on piece of bark are produc-
tive of as good pictures as these. The
publishers know this, for they use the same
cuts with substitution of names and palm
them off on such purchasers as are unfa-
miliar with the original. Perhaps there
are some readers who admire the pictures
that are found in these pages; if so, there
is financial reason why they are produced.
While publishers may try to excuse them
selves on this ground, it asserts the exis-
tence of class of people in this country
that come very near being devoid of the
instincts of civilized beings; for surely no
others would look on these pictures with
favor; such people are not whit above the
hieroglyphics and bone etchings of the pre-
historic centuries. The daily newspaper
that depends on these people and on such
pictures for its welfare is poor indeed, and
can hardly take so much pride in itself as
burro can. 1t is libel on man to pub
fish such carricatures of him as are found
in some daily newspapers. IF the hopes
of an aspiring politician are to be blighted;
if the fair fame of an estimable person is to
be wrecked; if the respect of the populace
for any man is to be ruined and turned into
distrust, the publication of q villainous cut
of him, such as may be seen aay day in a
daily paper, is the surest and shortest means
of accomplishing the end. Until grand
jury indicts the offending newspapers, an
outraged public ought to wage an indignant
warfare against them.-Pqper World.
