81 doubt II there are hundred first

States, remarked well known dealer in
game and fish. Il know this because tho
clubs, restaurants and hotels use vast
quantities Of Texas, Florida and other
common terrapin and serve them as bona
fldo diamond backs. The finest diamond
backs range in price from $40 to 500 a
dozen, and one terrapin, when properly
cooked, will make about three plates, so
that the cost Of dish Of stcwed torrapin
must necessarily range from 81 to 49, 30,
and whatever is charged above these fig
ures represents the profit. Many man
who smaoks his lips over the terrapin he
gets in restaurant doesn't know the diff
ference between that and a mud turtle,

STRANGE reuDAL SERVICE.


I
by Its rsrformnpce valuable Laad HAS
Been Held Seven Centuries.
A curious ancient ceremonial or quit
rent service annually performed by the
City Of London corporation az tenants OF
certain crown lands situated near Bridge
worth, in Shropshire, takes place at tho
royal court OF Justice In the Office Of the
queens rsmembrancer. 1t was formerly
done In opon court before the eursitor
baron OF the exchequer, whose Office be-
came extinct In 1856. The land in CUES
ton, still officially described as a piece OF
waste ground called The Moors,'" is
now small farm at Eardington, about
two miles from Bridgeworth.
The fcudal service by which 1t has been
held during seven centuries at least IL the
cutting asunder two fagots Of wood, one
with hatohet, the other with billhook.
It has been oonjectured that upon some
occasion when one Of the old kings, Nor
man or Plantagenet, was hunting in the
neighborhood he was saved from imminent
danger occasioned by the fierce onslaught
Of an Infatuated bear by the timely arrival
and assistance Of a sturdy yeoman who
was cutting fagots. The king may have
rewarded tho tho man with perpetual
grant of the "Mora," the moor or waste
to tho royal court and presenting a couple
OF fagots cut open in the presence Of the
kings official representative.
The earliest recorded notice Of this ten
ure occurs in roll of serRcanties of 13
John, 1911. The property afterward passed
to the city corporation of London. Tho
ceremony on Oct 22 this year was per-
formed by the city solicitor, who was ac-
companied by the secondary of the 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 sery-
ice. Another act of similar character
was Immediately afterwnrd performed by
tho city solicitor for plot of ground in
the parish OF st. Clement Danes In the
Strand anoently occupied by forge
that of counting six horseshoes and 81
hobnails. Illustrated News.
