THEIR ORDER or PRECEDENCE
How the English Aristocrncy Takes Rank
from Duke to Esquire

How the English Aristocrscy Takes hana
from Duke to Esquire.
II sometimes happens that in writ
ing of the English nobility young au-
thors are not quite familiar with then
subject. and make mistakes concern
ing the different steps or degrees in the
peerace. Perhaps u simple eXplana-
ton of the matter may be found use
ful in clearing up loose conceptions
The highesu-unough not the. oldest
rank in Britain below royalty is that
of duke. The first dukedoIn created
was the dul.edom of Cornwall. be-
slowed on Edward. the Black Prince,
and il now appertains, as matter OF
rirht. from the moment OF his birth, To
the eldest son of the reigning mon
arch. The formal manner of address
ing n dulse-lis style" as it is technl'
cally called-is his grace, the duke
of" so-and-so. A duke is the only no
hleraan whom it is allowable in con-
versation to address by the name OF
his rank, as. for instance. ''as was re-
marking, duke" Next to duke comes
a marquis, or marques, as the Word IS
now more usually spelled. The word
means lord of the marches or borders
A narouess is addressed as the most
noble. the marques etc. The next
! degree below n marques is an earl.
! It is distinctively English term. its
equivalent abroad being count, al
though. ctriously enough, an earis
wife is known as countess An carl
is addressed as 1.-The right honorable,
the earl Of" etc. After the earl comes
the viscount. The name bears its for
e;pn origin on its face. and was for
nerly applied to person who acted as
sheriff of county in the place OF the
count or earl. Like the earl he IS ad
dressed as 1.-The right honora BILE, the
viscount," etc. The lowest rank in the
British peeragc is that of baron, al
though in one sense of the word every
peer is baron. This arise, from th'
fact that. according to the old feuda
law, every man who possessed certain
land. was called baron. and as con
dition of his possessing then had u
bring into the field a certain nuI1he
OF armed men at the call OF the soVer
eign. Below the peerage are the boro
nets. knights and csquires. The latte
title is now applied promiscuouslyi a
law. however, there are only certain
classes of the queens subjects entitle
to this ancient and honorable appella
tion. These are sons of peers. and tn
eldest sons of the youngest sons c

Where women Can't Eeu tie 1TutEs
A volume of memoirs has Just been
published giving the experience of q
French president of assizes. 1t bears
curious testimony to the inaccuracy OF
women on the subject of their OWL
Gges. AS the writer's information is
from the calendar, he speaks only OF
the criminal classes. The only in
stances in which he finds correct dates
given by women arg when they are un-
der twenty-five or over eighty-five. At
these periods of life, he says, they are
to be trusted. At all other periods the
sure controlling tendency is to under
state. The magistrate has been able
to give rule for guidance. He finds
that female prisoners invariably state
their ages at twentynine, thirty-nine,
forty-nine or fifty-nine, and from this
remarkable circumstance he deduces
mis- rule. If their ages are iE the for
ties. they boldly set them dawn in the
thirtics; but, conscience asserting it
self, they keep as near the truth as
they can and fix them at thirty.
Whether male criminals do the ssme
che magistrate does not state.

CHANGES IN EXTRACTION LAW
In Early Modern Times Political Rafugees
Were the Only Ones Sought.

In Early Modern Times Political Refugees
Were the Only Ones Sought.
It is a remarkable fact that in the
early cases in modern history it was
always for political offenses that s,ir-
render was claimed, though at present
it is almost the only ground of refusal,
saws Chambers journal But such an
offenSe does not mean a crime commit
ted from political motives. but one
committed during time OF civil war
or open insurrection. The French gov
erumert in 1880 refused to extradite
Hartmann, who was suspected of plan
ming the plot against the ear at Mos
COW in December. 1879 When the
Swiss government in Novem Der. 1900,
demanded the extradition of one Cas-
toni, vino had shot memt :of the
minist-y, tie English judge gave him
the benefit of this exception in the
treaty. Charles H., as is well known.
pursued some of the murderers of his
father with relentless hate, and in 1861
concluded a treaty in Denmark in
which the latter agreed to deliver up
en reguisition all persons who had
been concerned in the murder Of
Charles |.
The states general of Holland sur
rendered some of the regicides without
treaty stipulations: bat in 1862 they
agreed to give up any persons excepted
from the English act of indemnity and
all other persons demanded by the
English government. James IL pat
this treaty in force in demanding the
surrender Of Burnet, not yet bishop,
but acting as private secretary to the
prince of Orange. He describes it very
fully in his History of lis Own Time. =
lie stated that the kings principal
cause of anger against him was Il re-
port of his intended marriage to D
wealthy lady at The Hague, and pro-
ceedinGs were set on foot in Scotland.
Burnet. however, got wind of the mat

was readily granted. When the am

lures Different.
hrchaologists lave observed that in
Greek statues the male eye is strongly
arched, while the female eye has
rather flattened surface; and referring
to accounts by the Older anstomists
who have affirmed such difference to
exist they have seen liz this fresh
proof of the exact observation of
nature by the ancient Greeks. The
rule, according to London Nature, is
not without exceptions for the cornea

Herr Grcef recently set himself to in
oulre whether such a sexual difference
actually exists, and from individual
measurnent of the radius of the cornea
in the horizontal meridian he gets AL
average of 7s3 mm. for men and 7.S2

and 7.T09l. so the difference is so small

Measurement of other dimensions gave

artistic motives) did not in this case
follow nature.

EecorGs OF the Canaan:tes' Appeal for uelr
Against Invading tsrae;ites
The contents Of tina wonderful treas
nry of antique records discovered il
1887 by a peasant woman near the
rr,iIs of the ancient Arsinoe in upper
Egypt have COW iccE laid before tis
public in Maj. Condcr's work on the
Tel Amarna tablets, comprising t.
transla ton of the text, v!ith iatroduc-
tion and rotes, says london Table.
Inscribed on clay tablets, subsequent
iy baked into brick and written in
Arcmaic, the ancient language Of
Syria, in cuneiiorn characters, we
have here nothing less than series of
dispatches sent to the Egyptian for
e:gn Office about 1880 =. G. from the
protected or tributary kings of Canaan.
iu,p!oring assistance against various
invasions. The most interesting are
the letters from the king of Jerusalem
and other chiefs of southern Palestine,
for in them we can trace the dis
may and alarm created by the ad.
vance of Joshua and the Hebrews,
called "Abiri," aud people of the
desert" A very striking passage oc-
ours in one of the dispatches to the
fugitive monarch, apparently after the
battle of Ajalon, in which, seeking, as
it were. to apologize for his defeat, he
speaks of the leaders of the enemy as
"sorcercrs," doubtless an allusion to
the miracles OF Joshua. The date OF
the exodus is also shifted back to tnat
assumed by earlier Biblical eSpCnpnts,
while tse contrary theory of Dr.,
Brugsch, too hastily accepted as con-
slusiveiY established, is overthrown
