Curiou. Old Custom Of Ouarrvmeu.

A curious old custom among the quarry
men of tie isle Of Purbeck was observed re-
Gently at Corfe castle There is among the
auarrymsn a charter bearing thu date Of
1871, which is vigorously obeyed, in order
to keep tho working of the stone quarries in
the isle of Purbeck in the hands Of the free
men To be able to take up ones freedom
one must be the legitimate son of a free
man He must be 81 years of age, up to
which time his wages belong to his parents
Once during the year the quarrymen
meet at Corfc castle town hall and there
read the charter, and on that OCCASION
namely: Shrove Tuesday-'free boys" claim
and take up their freedom. Each man has
to sign the roll of freemen, pay a fee Of
six shllings eight pence, provide a penny
loaf made on purpose by the baker of tho
place, and to buy pot Of beer. Tho man
thus sworn in becomes his own master.
Should any Of the freemen desire To marry
during the next year he has t. pay the
"A marriage shilling" and should
he neg.ect to do this his wife loses all inter
est in the quarry, and cannot take Al APP
prentice to worl, for her. Chicago Tribune.

It was terrible evening that passed in
the convent; the Sisters took their misfor-
tune in so many ways. Sister Caterina
moaned and beat her breast Sister Monica
looked fierce, and said harsh and bitter
words Sister GioTsnna knelt and sobbed
and thought that God had Withdrawn all
help and protection from them. But Sister
Elizabetta asked strange childish questions
about the world, and ner eyes lighted With
a furtive pleasure and the Mother Superior
felt that perhaps she most of ali needed her
prayers
And the days that followed were full of
strange and heart breaking novelties. Per-
haps the donning of secular clothing was

forlorn, how terribly wide looked the outer
world On the last morning they were to
spend together.
They were all assembled for the last
time TO hear mass together, and as they
came out of the church the people crowded
round them. kissing their hands, sobbing,
weeping, crying that the blessing Of God
