loosen. He stopped and wiped off the

A Relic Of Druid Times.

History books confidently assert that the
Druids have long ceased to exist in Eng
land. Doubt is thrown on this assertion by
quaint custom held in the stormy dawn
of recent morning arolsnd the remnants
of British tumulus which exists at
Knightlow, in Warwickshire, where the
Duke of Buccleuch, as Lord of the Hun.
dred, exacted payment of certain tributes
which date from the misty times of our
Druidical ancestors. The duke did not
himself appear in the character Of Druid
TO collect the dues, but was represented by
his agent. Payment is made by twenty
eight parishes of the old Hundred of
Knightlow, the tax being called "Wroth
silver"
What it was instituted for nobody
knows and nobody exactly knows why 1t
is maintained. II only produces about
nine shillings but if any parish neglects to
pay, the duke has the right TO exact from
it white bull with red nose and ears.
The representatives of the different par
ishes must assemble at the tumulus on
Nov. II, march thrice round a hollow stone,
saying .'The Wroth money" and deposit
the tribute in the cavity, from which the
dukes representative gathers it up. A
philologer after the school of Dean Swift's
Greek and Latin Derived from English"
might explain the meaning of the name by
saying that the parishes were ''wroth" at
having to pay it; but this etymology is at
once muffled by the fact that inhabitants
of the Hundred who care to get out of bed
so early are entertained in a neighboring
hostelry by his grace at a substantial
breakfast. costing twenty times more than
they pay in "Wroth mone@p 1t is curl

Among the main reasons which BIZ
cycle riders give for their choice Of loco
motion are the following:
Bicycling is popular, clean, health
ful sport. and wheel is good company.
The wheel is time saving machine,
and in this busy age time is money.
Exercise on the wheel is better than
walking, because the weight of the body
is principally supported by the saddle.
Strength is economical and the exertion
Of force distributed more generally
throughout the muscles of the legs,
arms and body, and equal results in
progress reached by far less exertion, or
proportionately greater results by the
same exer1ion. In other words, the
wheelman rides ten miles in an hour
with less fatigue than he would walk
four in the s9me time, because in walk
ing almost all the muscular exertion is
thrown on the legs.
Few people breathe properly. They
use only the upper portion Of the lungs
and leave large residuum Of impure air.
Bicycle riding causes thorough respira-
ton and tones up the general circula-
ton. 1t is particularly beneficial to
men and women of sedentary habits,
and gives them such exhilarating pleas
ure that they do not feel the labor in
volved. New York Ledger.

A Small Piece Of Justice.

In a small town not many miles from
Erie, Pa, there was a case before the
justice of the peace that was settled very
summarily.
1t appears that Mr.. Jones had beaten
Mr.. Browns dog with club for chasing
his chickens. They met at the office OF
the justice, each accompanied by law
yer, and bound to see the thing through,
no matter what it cost. AS Jones and
Brown were prominent citizens Of the
town a largo crowd assembled at the
trial, expecting to hear some great
oratory from the lawyers.
The justice was a very pompous and
ignorant ole fellow, who was great on
big words, no matter whether appropri-
ate or not The case was called, the
witnesses who had seen the clubbing
gave their testimony, and Jones lawyer
arose to open for his client, when the
justice said:
Hold on, Mr.. Lawyer, there is no
use ar9ifying or condisputing about this
matter, as there Is no case Of assesslty
for it. Nj. Jones was highly unwrong
in beating Mr.. Browns dog, SO | fine
him ten dollars for cruelty to dumb an
imals, and that is all there is about 1t.

Two Species of Camels.

The two main distinguished species
among the hundreds of varieties Of
camels are the Southern, Arabian Zone
bumped cameD and the Northern Bac-
trian two bumped cameD. Each is
especially adapted to its locality. The
Bactrian camel is long haired, tolerant
of the intense cold Of the steppes and is
said to eat snow when thirsty. The
Arabian species is short haired, intoler-
ant Of cold, but able to endure extreme
heat. The limbs and the structure Of
the foot differ also in each, to conform
to desert caravan paths in the one case
and to mountain trails and passes in the
other. Rev. S. NJ. Zwemer in Christian
Intelligencer.

branch to Haifa, at the northern foot of
Mount Carmel, and thence to and across
the plain of Esdraelon, passing near
Nazareth and through the Valley of
Jezreel, skirting the slope of the hills to
the River Jordan, which will be crossed
within sight of Bethshean. The Jordan
here offers exceptional facilities for the
erection of the railway bridge, consist
ing of two spans. The two banks of the
river are conveniently formed of solid
rock, and in the center of the stream is
large block of similar rock, from
which each span of the bridge will be
thrown.
From the Jordan the railway will
ascend and pass along the crests that
close the eastern shores of the sea of
Galllee, 1t is this ascent that presents
the only difficult portion of the line An
easy gradient thence will carry the line
to Damascus. The construction Of the
line is expected to lead to important
