Paying . Kine.s Doctor. 1910.

The first notice we find of royal pay
ments to physician was wnen Nicho-
las de Fernehan was called to the court
of Henry III. at a salary, until he be-
came bishop of Durham. In the ac-
counts for the royal household, which
date from the thirty-third year Of
Henry VI, and continue during the
reigns of Henry VII. and Henry Will,
we find no regular allowance was made
to the royal rhysicians-they were
given a reward" l. e., honorarium;
the royal apothecaries, however, were
paid as in the form Of legal demand.
Among the Cottonian manuscripts in the
British museum are the accounts of
Henry Will On May 16, in the twen-
fy-first year of his reign we note: ITO

ANCIENT WARFARE

EXCHANGE OF prisoners was practiceo
In very early times by both the Greeks
and the Romans
wich," in 1883, stormed the town of
Gravelines, he massacred the entire
population.
AT the siege Of Jerusalem by Titus
the captive Jews were crucified by the
Romans In such numbers that, as
Josephus says, there was no longer
wood of which to make the crosses nor
space for them to stand.
DURING the middle ages reprisals
were common. The vengeance taken
for brave defense OF town or castle
was generally the hanging Of the most
prominent officers and men among the
defenders.
WHEN Richard l., with the other
crusaders, took Messina, all the noble
and good-ioolxing women of the town
were earned off. Some were after
wards ransomed, while the greater part
were held as slaves by their captors.
WHEN Emperor Henry in 1894 cap
tured Salerno he ordered the wives and
daughters of the leading citizens to be
put up at auction and sold, and all
these unhappy ladies were thus dis
posed of to brutal soldiery.
In ancient times prisoners were sub
iected to the most cruel tortures and
terrible forms of death. The monu-
ments and records of Nebuchadnezzar
tell with great JUNCTION how many
thousands of his enemies he beheaded,
impaled and f1ayed alive.

CAPRicEs OF FASHION.

MORE novel than one box plait down
the front of the skirt is one down each
side.
THE fashion of wearing white at the
throat is not SO prevalent as it was in
the spring.
IT is quite safe to have any silk gown,
or light wool designed for early an-
tumn wear, made with ruffied skirt.
SOME very elegant plaid silk blouses
are being devised by fashionable mo-
distes to wear with tailor-made cos
tunes.
PLAIDs are very fashionable, and will
be all the fall. They are made now in
cottons and silks and every variety OF
gauze.
PRETTY dresses for afternoon and
evening wear at fashionable resorts are
made Of the soft, light pineapple silks
so popular this season.
THE new skirts are not especially
heavy. They are interlined with hair
cloth for several inches, and some OF
them have light, flexible wire insert
ed in the hem.
A BLAcK-cLorH suit is novel and
handsome, and the skirt is original 1t 1t
shows some attempt at draping-very
slight, it is true, but conspicuous be-
cause of its novelty.

A POLO match between French and

London; the Spaniards were the better
horsemen and won.
THREE new kinds of truf1es, one
from Sardinia, the others, which are
very tasteful, from Arzita and Casabi-
anca, in Morocco, have been discovered

AN ibex was killed In the Superstition
mountains, Maricopa county, A. T., re-
Gently. It is said that only two others
of these animals have ever been killed
In the United States. They were found
in Oregon.
THE Stadion at Athens is nearly ready
for the international Olympic games
next spring. The two ends of the
ellipse have been completely covered
with marble, as have also the two lower
rows of benches throughout the whole
extent of the race course.

fighters violating the law to be prose-
cuted.
JOHN C. HANCOCK, of Hancock, Nd,
who has only his left arm to shoot with,
the right having been lost in carriage

THE number of people who own their
farms is largest in the new states OF the
west and the smallest number is in the
south. This is due to the facilities
which the cheap lands of the west and
the homestead laws have given for ac-
quiring farms. On the other hand, the
more prosperous states of the south
have comparatively few farm mort
cages.

MANAGEMENT OF PIGS.
Et Il serious Mistake to Use Only Ons
Kind of Feed.

&c L. Serious Mistake to Use Only On0
Kind Of Feed.
A pig is not gentlemanly animal.
says Farming World. The term pig
headed has come to be looked upon as
expressing the very lowest form of
stupidity and selfishness- Much as we
might wish to defend him, we have to
admit that there appears to be rolled
into one carcass a greater amount OF
..pure cussedness" than is found in any
other domestic animal, the mule ex-
cepted. The pig is cannibal of the
most revolving order, often devouring
ITS own young. 1t Is a gormandizer of
the first water, scarcely anything COM
ing amiss from luscious grape to an
old boot AS for generously yielding
anything for the good of others-pooh,
not to be thought of, if he can hold it.
There is just one trait in his character
that makes us almost ashamed OF hav-
ing said that he never considers an
others comfort-he will never eat raw
onions; they would make his breath
offensive "But with all his faults, we
love part of him) stilr' If you Danish
him from the farming world you will
create blank that nothing else can
fill. If we thus vilify the hog, he
may, with perfect fairness, turn upon
us and say: 'You lords of creation ex-
pect me to perform impossibilities.
For ages you have made me the scav-
enger of your farms and your homes.
You feed me often with food that all
other animals refuse; my home is any
where and anyhow. No care is taken
as to the laws of sanitation. /
am lodged in the vilest novels,
often only partially covering me; un-
able to get away from filthy surround
ings, l unavoidably become defiled,
and then you call me dirty pig. You
fancy, because l happen to choose to
wallow in the mud during a hot day,
that my tastes are low. Well, it is
often the only bath you allow me, and
since you have robbed me of most of
my natural protection against the
singing, tickling flies, 1 do this in
self-defense. Give me a chance of be-
food, give me good shelter and a dry
bed and will repay you hundred
fold for your care"
Piggy has good ground for his COM
plant. 1t has been too long the notion
that anything was good enough for a
hog. This has been the cause of untold
loss. Many poor cottager might save
one-fourth to third of his outlay in
producing his annual supply of ba con
if only his pig was kept warm and
clean, and had his food been given in
more wholesome form and with
greater regularity. If growing is the
object. give as much exercise as is con-
venient to obtain, with an occasional,
if not a regular, bite of grass, little
salt and wood ashes within reach,
failing wood ashes, ordinary cinders
and ashes. If rapid fattening is the
object, a mixture of meats with boiled
potatoes and house scraps, together
with perfect quiet. 1t is a serious mis-
take to use only one meal, no matter
what kind. A mixture is infinitely
better.
This treatment applies with equal
force to one or five hundred.

and liberal cash premiums at the ex-
hibitions of their country, still further
development may be looked for. The
stately pouter cock in the engraving
was sketched from a winning bird
shown in England by the well-known
Scotchman and writer on pigeons,
Robert Fulton. These birds have in
their show cages pedestal on which
to stand that they may pose erect. this
being the ideal carriage for pouters.
as the length of their tails prevents
the bird from standing straight when
shown on the floor of the show cage.
Length and slenderness of girth are
properties quite as much looked for in
these birds as is the large, roundly-
inflated crop. The fullness in the back
of the crop in this pouter was point to
which Mr.. Fulton especially called my
attention as being much coveted and
priced by fanciers. These birds meas
ure from Is to 20 inches from top of
beak to tip of tail. The legs, also,
should be long-6 to inches being
expected on a good bird-and to stand
well up bird requires good length of
limb. 1t was my good fortune to see
the model of the portrait of the fan
tail, in the lofts of his breeder, not
long before the expectation to this
country. The precaution which the
owner took in handling this specimen
while showing it to me was only
sample of the great care taken by
British fanciers in rearing the birds
and training them for show purposes.
The way in which the show fantail is
picked up means almost as much for
the development of wellformed and
well-carried tail as does the birds very
breeding. Not feather must be
twisted or displaced, not a movement
of the head restrained-for the car
rage Of these birds heads is valued
point if correct, and very offensive to
a Judge of them if the bird is deficient
in this respect. l have seen these
birds so proud and strutting, SO high
on tiptoe. that their gait, if SO it might
be called, was but dancing, and ap-
parently as many steps were taken
backward as forward, while scarcely
half-dozen in succession were per
formed either way. Their motion was
whirling and turning, backward and
forward, all the while sticking the
head and neck forward and backward
in a nervous, strutting fashion, the
very picture of self-consciousness and
pride. Such is the fantail as seen at
our best exhibitions of pigeons and
poultry. The sight of a group is not
unlike that of a bed of large white
lilies or tulips shaken by the wind
Orange Judd Farmer.

Hints About Marketing Honey.

There are few things tolearn about
marketing honey. The first thing nee
essary is to see that the honey is care
fully sorted. Then it should be thor.
oughly cleaned and put into neat,
white crates Another very important
thing is, the crates should be the same
all through; that is. the honey should
all be just what it appears to be on the
face of it There is a great deal of
talk nowadays about low prices and
slow sales, but the man who has an
honest, clean, first-class article of any
kind need not go begging for custom
ers, even in these times.
