TOWER OF LONDON.
MOST INTERES TING BUILDING
IN GREAr BRITAIN.
Palace, Fortress, Prison and Treas
ury-A Building With Bloody
Reconsideration Within
Its Sombre Walls.

The Tower OF London is the most in
teresting building in Great Britain. No
other structure in the country has so
great an antiquity, or so many claims
upon the attention of all to whom the
history of the English race is dear. For
the history of England during eight
centuries is epitomized in this one build
ing, which has witnessed the sorrows
and sufferings as we'll as the triumphs
and splendors of the most eninent men
and women of the Nation. Kings Rave
kept court within its walls, qneens and
princes have languished in its dungeons,
or lost their lives upon its ''greer." 1t
has been a palace, a mint and prison,
and still is fortress, an armory and
treasure house.
The foundation of the Tower. as OF so
many other great things, is attributed to
Julius Cesar. 1t seems more probable
that some structure stood upon its site IN
Saxon times. The present building was
begun in the reign of William the Con-
uueror, who built the White Tower to
keep the Saxons in check. 1t was de-
signed by his architect, Gundulf, who
was also Bishop of Ro ochester. The por-
ton called Caesars Tower was built in
the relgns of the early Norman sover-
eigas. Thus, if we except ruins no
longer servicable for any occupation, the
Tower is older than the oldest
buildings in Europe; older than the
Kremlin in Moscow, than the old Tuil-
cries, than the Louvre, than the Va.lcan,
than the Palace of the Doge at Venice.
1t stands just below London Bridge on
the Middlesex or left bank of the Thames
near the Custom House. The halls,
chambers, and chapel in Caesars Tower
were used by the Norman kings as a
residen:e, and here were kept the royal
Jewels. The Tower was in charge OF an
officer called the Constable of the Tower,
who in early times was bishop or an
archbishop.

TOWER Of LONDON.

death, and, except during the earlier
part of his long stay here, was not per-
mitted even to see his devoted wife.
The White tower is the central and
iunermost portion of the Tower. 1t
formed part of the royal palace, and
includes basement, the Church Of St.
John the Evangelist, council chamber,
two ante.rooms, four turrets and a
promenade on the roof. In one OF these
turrets Matilda the Fair is believed to
have been poisoned BY order of King
John, whose attentions she had refused.
This wicked act is said to havc con-
firmed the barons in their desire to e1-
tort further concessions from the King.
In this tower were lodged Baliol, King
of Scots, William Wallace and David
Bruce. Several foreign princes were
also prisoners here-John. King OF
France, captured at the battle OF Polc.
tiers, aud the Dukes of Bourbon and
Orleans, taken on the field of Agincourt.
One of the most charming and en-
gacing of all the tenants of the Tower
was Sir Walter Raleigh, who for eight
years was kept in the White tower,
though he also spent some time In the
Bloody tower. He was allowed consid-
erable liberty, and received as visitors
the most distinguished scholars, poets
and wits of the day.
Between the Bloody tower and the
Bell tower are the Leutenant's lodgings
and the old council chamber where
Guido Fawkes was interrogated by King
James. This visit is commemorated by
bust of the King and long Latin
inscription over the fireplace.
In the hall of the Wakefield tower it
is believed that Henry vi. was murdered
by Richard, Duke of Gloucester. In a
vault beneath sixty or seventy Scotch
prisoners of the rebellion of 1745 were
kept, and one.half of the number died.
There are many other towers, the
names only of which we have space to
mention. These are the Martin tower, the
Salt tower. the Constable tower, the
Brick tower and the Bowyer tower. In
the last of these it is said that Clarence
was drowned in the butt of Malmesbury
wine. The tower is open on four days
of the week on payment Of small fee,
and on Mondays and Saturdays admission
is free. Visitors arc handed over IN
parties of twelve to the care of "beef-
eater," yeoman OF the guard, who
wears a coat embroidered with red and a
round velvet hat looped with colored
ribbons. The White tower is now an
armory and museum, and part OF 1t is
called the horse armory.
In the jewel room are kept the crown
and the crown jewels, and these and the
dungeons most excite the visitors inter-
est. The regalia, or crown Jewels, are
kept in an Immense circular glass case
and are guarded by strong iron bars.
Tiers of gold ornaments and cups rise
one above another aud at the top is tue
crown.
Nowadays the Constable Lieutenant
OF the Tower is a military officer of high
rank and receives a salary OF 4 tridc over
SIS, 900 per annum. The first Duke OF
Wellington and the late Lord Napier of
Maedala held the office, which is at
present filled by Lieutenant General Lord
Chelmsford. The Major is also Lieu
tenant. General, and besides these the
staff comprises chaplain, medical
officer and a keeper of Regalia.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

The idea of the hammer originated
after the women of Montana had pro-
posed design for the last nail. This
last nail is to be manufactured of gold,
silver and copper, the most prominent
native minerals of the State. Tne head
of the nail will consist of representa-
ton of the seal of the State. This sea-
happens to contain mountains, rivers
and valleys, as we'll as the sky. 10
properly represent these features
diamonds and sapphires will be used.
Mrs. Eliza J. Richards is the originator
of the nail idea.
After tie nail stcry had been circu-
lated the Nebraska women took up the
hammer idea. Last come the women OF
Colorado. They did not want to fail
in doing something on the line of
finishing the Woman's building, SO they
will present the cssxet in which the
hammer and nail are to be kept. This
casket will be a miniature model, IN
precious metals, of the Pueblo mineral
palace.

Tie Dog Market Of Paris.

Among the queer institutions OF Paris,
of whose existence the ordinary Amerl-
can visitor with all his zeal for explora-
zion has no notion is the Dog Market,
which is held every Sunday in a corner
of the Marche aux Chevaux. tits duly
authorized market that brings into the
exchequer of the city an annual sum
equivalent to $500. This, says CORE
spondent, proves that great deal OF
business is done by the sale of dogs in
the course Of the year. A tax OF fifteen
centimes is levied upon the head of each
animal that is brought to market. The
number of entries averages IA, 900 annu-
ally, but the exhibition is said to have
injuriously affected the dog business, for
there was a marked decrease last year.
The market is also said to have suffered
from the competition of those who sell
dogs in the streets and take large
families of them every Sunday into the
Champs. Elysees and the Bois de Bou.

air and exercise, but really in hope Of
negotiating their sale.-New York Tri-

A Notable Hammer.

The design for that much -talked'o OF
hammer with which Mrs. Potter Palmer
is to drive the last nail in the Womans
building has been fixed upon, says the
Chicago Tribune. To determine what
the hammer should be like has been the
work of many months by the women of
Nebraska, but they have succeeded at
last, and the precious implement is being
executed by an Omaha jeweler.
No hammer of the like of this one has
ever pounded nail. The handle will
be composed of light and dark woods
alternating and encircled by a broad
band of gold, Oh which will be engraved:
.sFrom the Women of Nebraska"
The head of the hammer will be of solid
silver. On the face of the head will be
the seal of Nebraska in gold relief.
Drapjng the hammer and handle will be
the flag of the Union wrought in gold.
For each State in the Union there will
be diamond star, and the flagstaff will
be of pearl, surmounted by a golden
eagle.

The Tower consists of three parts; the
first comprises the outer walls and tow
ere. the gates, the river front, ramparts
and batteries; the second part is entered
by the gateway of the Bloody tower and
is the Tower proper; in this are the
Lieutenant's house, the Beauchamp
tower, the Church of St. Peter, the Salt
tower, the Wakefield tower, etc.; the
White tower, with its four cleaning tur-
rets. one at each angle, its chapel and its
chambers, constitutes the third part.
The original building was gradually
strengthened, and dungeons we're added
to which prisoners of rank and import
auce were consigned. In the reign Of
Edward III. the Tower attained its
present size. The first prisoner was
Ralph, surnamed Flamoard, or the torch,
from his frey disposition. Bishop of Dur
ham and Lord Chancellor of England.

0ririu of the Word Money"

In tracing out the origin or derivation
of the word "money' you find it is rom
the Roman word "Moneta,' because the
first regular coins of the Romans were
'struck' in the temple of Juno Moncta.
The word "coin" is, no doubt. from the
Latin "cuneus." meaning q die or stamp.
MANY coins are so called from their orig
inal weight, us the English pound, "
the French "livre," and the Italisa
"llra."

til that time comes we shall look for
