"Down on the SaiI.'

This is well known half slang
phrase. used for a cash payment. OF
its history l cannot speak, but l con-
fess to feeling startled when found it,
as it seems TO me, in parliamentary
deed of King Robert the Bruce. By
indenture dated July Is, 1926 (Scots
Acts I, 476), tenth penny was cove
nanted for, payable TO the king. On
his part he agreed not TO exact certain
prises and carriages unless he was pass
ing through the realm, after the GUS
tom of his predecessor, Alexander III,
''for which prises and carrisses full
payment should lie made super un-
guem" The words are, 'Pro quibus
prisis ct cariagiis plena fat solucio super
unguem.")
l am aware of the classical use OF
the phrase ''in unguem," or lad I'M
guem," signifying TO nicely" but it
does not seem to apply here. At the
same time the corresponding Fir ench
phrase payer rubis sur rongle" may
make this doubtful. Just below the
passage cited occurs another, in which
payment is to be made sin manu-"
Both in my opinion refer to ready
money, and 1 do not hesitate to trans
late super unguem" clown on the
nail" Hitherto l have supposed the
nail to be a figure of speech for the
counter on which the coin was told.
Apparently this is erroneous, as it is
clearly the finger nail which is referred
to.-Notes and Queries.

The SENSATION OF hanging

Lord Ponsonby, who was hanged by
O. mob in Paris in 1871 and cut down
before life was extinct, proceeded to
give an account of his sensations on re,
turning to consciousness. He could
not have actually been suspended IN
mid air more than q few seconds, and
vet in that brief space of time all the
events of his past life passed through
his mind. 1t is true that his life up to
that date had not been very event
full one, being only 10 years of age;
but every past sensation was renewed
in all its freshness. It is also remark
able that he did not at the time expe-
rience any sensation of fear; while,
he added, his was an essentially ner-
yous temperament. This remarkable
mental power of calling up the past in
moments of suspended animation !
have heard frequently mentioned.
One was the case of Gpsnt Itchy, in
the revolution of 1915, i'll Vienna. He
was caught by the savage mob, hung
like Lord Ponsonby in the middle OF
the street, when his own regiment OF
dragons charged down and cut the
cords as he was swinging in the air,
he fell to the ground and was suppos-
ed to be dead but his recovery was a
yery different matter from Lord Pom.
sonby's; for he suffered agonies, and
for ten days had four men constantly
with him. He described exactly the
same sensations as Lord Ponsonby
the scroll of what was o much longer
life was unrolled, even the smallest
detail rushed back or his memory; he
had the same fearlessness at the mo,
ment, but he felt all the horror of the
agony when the danger was past =

old Fashioned Parsons.

The old fashioned country parsons OF
the English church lived more on the
social level Of the farmers and yeomen
than of the squires, though in many
cases they were men of culture. The
Rev. S. Barring Gould tells an anecdote
of parson Of this class who was in
vited to spend two days with a great
squire some miles from the parsonage.
He went, stayed his allotted time
and disappeared. Two days later the
lady of the house, happening to so into
the servants hall in the evening, was
amazed to find her late guest there.
After he had finished his visit upstairs
he had accepted the invitation of the
butler to spend another two days be-

PARTED.

Side by side are we still, though shadow
Between us doth fall;
We arc parted and yet are not parted,
Not wholly and all,
For still you Ore round and about me,
Almost in my reach,
Though miss the old, pleasant communion
or smile and of speech.
And long to hear what you nrc seeing,
And what you have done,
Since the earth faded ont from your vision,
And the heavens begun;
Since you dropped Off the darkcning fillet
OF clay from your sight,
And opened your eyes upon glory
Ineffably bright.
Though little my life has accomplished,
My poor hands have wrought
Ihave lived what has seemed to be ages
In feeling and thought,
Since the time when our path grew so narrow
SO near the unknown,
That turned bae; from tho following after,
And you went alone.
For we speak OF you checrfully. always,
AS Journeying on;
Not as one who is dead do we namc you;
We say, You are gone.
For how could We speak OF yoa sadly,
We, who watched whio the grace
OF etenity's wonderful beauty
Grew over your face!
Do we call the star LOST that is hidden
In the great light of morn?
Or fashion a shroud for the young child
In the day il is born:
Yet hchold this were wise 10 their folly
Who mourn, sore distressed,
When soul, that is summoned, believing,
Enters into its rest.

The Brain and tho Head.

DR.. Starr, of London, says it is inn
possible to draw any conclusion from
the size or shape OF the head as TO the
extent or surface OF the brain. and SO
as to the mental capacity. 1t is absurd
to judge of the brain surface by either
the size OF the head or the extent of
the superficial irregular surface which
is covered by the skull, without taking
into consideration the number of folds
or the depth of the creases For q
little brain with many deep folds may
really, when spread out, nave a larger
surface than large brain with Few
shallow folds. n-Exchange.

A GIGANTIC HORSE.
a Queer Monster That Has Existed in
England for Over 600 Years.

1
England for Over 1000 Years.
About two miles to the north of
Ilambourne, in Berkshire, England, is
White Horse hill, on the summit of
which there is a large Roman entrench-
ment called Ellington castle. a little
below the castle on the steep side of the
hill facing the northwest is the figure
of q gigantic white horse, the dinen-
sionS of which extend over about an
acre of ground. Its head, neck, body
and tail consist of one white line, us
does also each of its four legs. The out
lines of this monstreus specimen of, the
genus equu are formed by cutting
trenches in the chalk, of which the hill
is mainly composed, tho bitches being
3 or 5 feet in depth and about 10 feet
wide. The chalk of the trench being
of beautiful white color, and the sur
rounding turf the greenest of green, the
figure of the horse can be plainly seen
at distance of twelve miles, and even
farther, it is said, if the sun Is shining
brightly.
4 white horse is known to have been
the standard of the Saxons, and some
have supposed that this monster en-
blematic figure was made by Hengist,
one Of the Saxon kings. Mr.. Wise, an
author who has written much Of the
celebrated white horse of Berkshire,
brings several arguments to prov q that
this figure was made under order of AL
fred during the reign of Ethelred, his
brother, and that the figure is Inonu-
ment to a victory over the Danes in
the year S71. Other well known writer's
are Of the opinion that the wonderful
white horse is q natural freak, one of
natures oldest oddities. Ashrnead
Burton thinks that the early tribes
noted the outlines of a horse on the
hillside and gradually worked it into
its present graceful symmetry.
However this may be, it has been a
custom since time out of memory for
the neighboring peasants to assemble on
q certain day of each year, usually about
midsummer, to clear away the weeds
from the White Horse and trim the
edges of the trench so as to preserve
the color and shape. This task is
knownfor miles around rs Securing
the Horse"
A large mound at the foot of White
Horse Hill and almost directly under
the "HorSe" is called Dragon Hill.
Here, according to tradition, st. George
killed the dragon. On the top of this
mound, or barrow" there is space
about fifty yards square upon which
not a spear of grass has grown during
the last thousand years. The peasants
say that the grass cannot grow on ac-
count of the ground having been poi
soned with the dragons blood at the
time st. George gave him the fatal
wound.--St Louis Republic.
