woIsey's Household.

In Cardinal Woisey's palace no less than
2sG beds were provided for strangers, with
superb canopies and curtains OF silk or
velvet. There We're bedsteads of alabaster,
quilts OF down and pillowcases embroid-
cred with silk and gold. The chairs of
STATE were covered with cloth of gold; the
tables ard cabinets were of the most costly

was emblazohed with My lords arms"

OF one suit, and the rest of the sacerdotal

The annual expenses of his household ex-
ceeded $50, 000-an immense sum for those
days. His retiEue of 500 persons, his kingly

lord chancellor, his mule was attended by
a long train of mobiles and knights on horse

officers led the way in rich liveries, while

A Popular Error.

Down until the middle of the past cen
fury many supposed to-be-educated people
in the world actually believed that the
barnacle or brant goose was Matched from
the parasitic shell known to conchologists
as the barnacle, or as scientifically the
bernacula. Holinshed, the English histo-
rian who fourished just before Shake
speare's appearance in English literature,
in writing of the barnacle goose, says, 81
have seen these barnacles hanging upon
roots, timbers, etc, with the feathers hang
ing out Of the shell two inches" Dray
toms Herbal" published seventeen years
after the death of Holinshed, refers to the
wonderful barnacle goose as follows, "In
the north of Scotland there are certain
trees Wherein do grow shellishes, which,
falling nto-the water, do become fowles
whom we call baruacles and, in the north
of England, brant geese; in Lancashire

church penance; the slipper kiss, practiced
toward tyrants; the judicial kiss; tile

Places of Refuge.

AS Wazan is city of refuge for the out
side world, so are the mosques and tombs
OF the shereefs for the inhabitants of
Wazan; and men fleeing from justice or an
enemy have been known to spend months
and even a year in the holy precincts with
out once issuing forth. The great mosque
of Muley Abdullah Shereef, with its courts
and arcades, affords shelter for any num-
Der of these refugees, and at the present
moment no inconsiderable quantity are
housed there. Their food is brought to
them by their relatives or friends, if they
have any, and if not they either send and
buy, or, if moneyless, exist on the charity
of those who pray in the mosques.-Black-

water CLOCKS of Olden rime,.

IL appears that the Assyrians were the
first people to divide the day into portions
of time, also that they were the inventors
of the clepsydra, or water clock, the divi-
sion of time and the invention both belong
ing to a period too remote for precise cal
culation. All that we know of the history
of the clepsydra is that the apparatus was
in use at the time of the overflow of the
first Assyrian empire, B. c. 759.
This water clock, the first of the time
2 keepers, was nothing more than a cylin-
drical brass vessel capable of holding sew
eral gallons of water. At one side there
was very small hole through which the
water was allowed to trickle, something
after the fashion OF the employing of an
hourglass. From experiments made on
recently discovered clepsydras it is calcu-
lated that one would empty itself about
once every two hours. Under the reign of
Phul, the royal palace of Ninevah, as we'll

city, possessed water clock of the same

these slime masters there was regular
staff Of criers, working under municipal
authority, who, as often as the clocks were

The Sanuterer heard not long ago of a
colored servant who went into fish store
in Richmond to buy a dinner for his mas

came to pile of shad, and being somewhat
skeptical as to their freshness he raised
one of the fishes to his face The dealer,
