them on the shoulders and said that they

Consumption is germ disease, but the
germs cannot exist in rich pure blood.
Therefore it has been called "blood

likely to produce weak 1unged children,
and weak lungs are an invitation to con-

has been justly called a hereditary

The dissolution of the monasteries had
greatly increased vagrancy i'll the slx-
teenth century. Rich abbeys, like that
of Reading, employed large numbers of
workmen and servants, who when their
masters had fallen into evil case were
thrown upon heartless world and took
to robbery for q livelihood. The hospitia
of the monasteries i'll the good old days
always provided food and bed for
weary travellers, of whatever rank they
were, and needy wanderers sorely felt
the loss of their kind hosts The rich
courtiers grabbed the church lands and
wealth, and the poor folk followed their
example by grabbing whatever they
could lay their hands on. Consequently
there were in these parts "a great stOare
of stout vagabonds and maysterless men
cable enough for labour), which do great
hurt in the county by their idle and
naughtie life. - The unfortunate persons
who were robbed could claim compen-
sation from the inhabitants on the hun
dred in which the robbery took place
This old law was as ancient as the time
of our great Berkshire king, Alfred; for
who is ignorant of the fact that when
gold bracelets were hung up by the
roadside on account Of the enforcement
of this law and the fear of the vengeance
of the hundred no one dared to remove
them?
But when these highway robberies on
Maidenhead thicket were SO frequent,
the burden of making compensation fell
somewhat heavily on the inhabitants of
the hundred of Benhurst. In one year
they paid as much as e255 for robberies
committed on unfortunate wayfarers.
Therefore special act Of parliament
was passed in 1897 in order to relieve
the inhabitants from their burdens -
