was generally used by
old women. They
were between five
and six feet in length,
of a taper and slender
make, shaped at the
upper end in the
manner of a shep-
herds crook and
twisted througho ut
the entire length of

terials were either
ivory, wood, or whale
bone and mounted
with silver or gold.
Inc men carried long
sticks also, their
length calling forth

The contrIvance of making a repository
in the hollow of a walking stick, accord
ing to the San Francisco Chronicle, is
very ancient. The bourbon or pilgrim
staff of the middle ages was a strong and
stout stick about five feet in length, armed
at the lower end with an iron spike, and
evidently intended as a balance and sup
port to the body when climbing up steep
accliViJies In it may be seen the protO-
type of the alpenstock About twelve
inches from the top of the staff was gen
orally a large prOtuberance, on which the
Aand Of the pilgrim rested without danger
Of sliding downward. The upper part of
the staff was hollow and capable of
holding small articles but the lower
portion was entirely solid. 1t is very prob
able that in the cavity of the upper part
the pilgrims originally kept relics of saints,
which were sold at the tombs to which the
pilgrims Travelled, and which were cOnsid-
cred as satisfactory proofs that the pill
grims had been to The spot indicated In
the latter ages of pilgrimage, however,

kind Of pipe or musical instrument.
