STRANGE FEUDAL SERVICE.
By Its Performance Valuable Land Has
Been Held Seven Centuries.


A curious ancient ceremonial or quit
rent service annually performed by the
City of London corporation as tenants of
certain crown lands situated near Bridge
worth, in Shropshire, takes place at the
royal court of justice in the office of the
queens remembrancer. 1t was formerly
done in open court before the cursitor
baron of the exchequer, whose office be-
came extinct in 1856. The land in ques-
tion, still officially described as "a piece of
waste ground called The Moors,'" is
now small farm at Eardington, about
two miles from Bridgeworth.
The feudal service by which it has been
held during seven centuries at least is the
cutting asundcr two fagots Of wood one
with a hatchet, the other with billhook.
1t has been conjectured that upon some
occasion when one of the old kings, Nor
man or Plantagenet, was hunting i'll the
neighborhood he was saved from imminent
danger occasioned by the fierce onslaught
of an infuriated bear by the timely arrival
and assistance of sturdy yeoman who
was cutting fa2ots. The king may have
rewarded tho the man with perpetual
grant of the "Mora," tho moor or waste
land, upon condition of his coming yearly
W tDc royal COuIb anu DItScHiiliS COu,jtt
of fagots cut open in the presence of the
kings official representative.
The earliest recorded notice of this ten
ure occurs in roll of sergeanties of 13
John, 1911. The property afterward passed
to the city corporation of London. The
ceremony on Oct. % this year was per-
formed by the city solicitor, who was ac-
companied by the secondary of tho city of
London and several other officers of the
corporation. Proclamation was first made
calling upon the tenants and occupiers of
the land to come forth and do their scrv
ice. Another act of a similar character
was Immediately aftcrward performed by
the city solicitor for plot of ground in
the parish of St Clement Danes in the
Strand, anciently occupied by a forge

hobnails. London Illustrated News.

The GWhy" of Colors.

The theory has been advanced that the
conspicuous colors developed in various
species of snakes, insects and animals are
natures method of advertising the fact
that such are poisonous, either III the bite
or sting which they intlict, or that the
flesh is unpalatable if used for food. The
believers in this theory cite the wonderful
display of colors in the eclaza wasp, the
