Historical Outlines or Ensiand,s Industrial
History.

History.
In a volume bearing the name OF Industry in
England tScribners). an attempt is made to re-
view the industrial life Of England as u whole,
and to present n general survey OF II throughout
its gradual development. In this respect the
present volume differs from most works of the
kind, inasmuch as they have been generally de-
voted either to some special period or to some
special aspect, or have dealt with industry only
as a branch OF national commerce. To the au-
thor, Mr.. II. DE b. GIBBINs, 1t seems that the re-
suits of archaeological and antiquarian research
into tho period preceding the Norman Conquest
have not been sufficiently utilized In dealing with
England's industrial history; that. for example,
the origin of the manor derives added light from
these Investigations. 1t has, therefore. been his
endcavor to weave into tho story Of industrial
progress some OF the results attained by students
OF prehistoric conditions. believing. as he does.
that the many centuries OF industrial life which
elapsed before the written history OF England
began must have left upon the English nation
some traces OF their course. At the same time
he has not wished TO emphasize unduly the pre-
historic period, and has confined his remarks
upon it to a very limited space.
In the present notice OF this interesting book
we shall dwell chiefly on what the author has to
say about the peoples of early Britain and their
social and economic conditions. about tho com
merce and industry Of Roman Britain. about
trade and industry in the Saxon period, about
Domesday Book and the manors. and, finally.
about the economic aspect OF England from tho
close Of the eleventh to tho close of the thir-
teenth century. We shall also note the authors
conclusions regarding tho population of Eng
land at various intermediate dates.

DR.. NIcoll on American Newspaper.

daciously admits that he liked them.
He has confessed to The Westminster
Budget that in his opinion no American
institution is moro misunderstood abroad

be and says, very truly, that you may
look in vain in them for such matter as
the divorce reports which the most prop

ly we Americans like the newspapers
we have better on the whole, than any
others in the market, but we are so con.
tinually advised that our passion for
them is guilty, that while We satisfy it
with prodigality we seldom attempt to
justify or even to excuse it, SO that TO

The moon is really and truly great

curious shapes and of extraordinary

make this statement simply because the
eye Of man has never seen but one side
Of the surface Of the moon. What we
see convinces us that the little planet Is
extremely mountainous, for on the

less than 10000 peaks, varying in
height from 1000 feet to 4 miles

English Government Waste Paper.

Periodically precise statements Of
what is i'll stock are drawn up and sent
to all known dealers in waste paper,
and those of them who wish to buy any
of the lots offered to them return the
lists with the highest bids thoy are pre-
pared to make, and the highest bidder
becomes the purchaser and carries it
off. The annual sales bring in some
thing over e10,O 900 year, which, &C
cording to arrangements prevailing up
till 1S41, would all have gone as per
quisites' into official pockets. These
were the good old times before the civ
il service went to the dogs 1t was
found in very many cases that the Off
cial who pocketed the proceeds OF waste
paper had the original ordering of tie
goods.
The more he ordered the greater
would be the waste and the better for
his pocket, and Of course there was q
dreadful howl when, in 1841, Mr.. Nc
Culloch proposed a reform. The reform
was indeed carried-on paper. But that,
too, for long time, proved to be little
better than waste paper. The officials
naturally entertained the strongest OBJ
lection to relinquishing their custom

The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-07-03

Cyrus o. Thornton, farmer living
few miles out Of Bolivar, has an odd
watch chain. It is made Of human
bones. The chain consists Of eight links,
each a trifle more than an inch long,
connected by plated rings. The chain is
about ten inches long and has been high
ly polished by years Of wear and glis-
tens like ivory.
Thornton secured the chain at Peters
burg, Va, in 1854. He was member
of Company e, Fiftieth New York en-
gineers. A member of the Twenty first
NeW York infantry made two chains
while confined in Libby prison and on
his release met Thornton and sold him
one chain for $50 in greenbacks. Thorn
ton has forgotten the makers name.
The bones were taken from amputated
arms and legs, and it required 1S
months time to carve out the chains.
For many years after he came home
from the war Thornton wore the chain
every day, but for several years he has
worn it only on Memorial day and at
Grand Army reunions Some of his
neighbors once laughed at the idea of
the bones being taken from human bod
les, and he sent the chain to a surgeon,
who examined it and pronounced it tC
be of human bones. s.-Fall River News.

bio not to lose any of the vibrations pro-

might have at distance another plate
which would give at the Same time the

Colonial Fenr OF Lawyers.

In the columns of the New York Gaz-

agraph lamenting the increase of law
yors as threatening to the future pros
perity of the community and degrading
to freemen. "An honest trade in for
mer dayc," said the writer, twas all
that people Of common ability and edu-
cation were ambitious of, but now no
profession is genteel but the lawyer and
the merchant. The lawyers are now
creeping into every post Of Importance
and thrusting themselves wherever
there is vacancy. Our congress, our
assembly, are crowded with them, and
even in our great commercial conven-
tion there are five lawyers to one mer.

Rich and Made His Child Beg.

Samuel Salz of Yonkers, N. Y, who,
his friends say, is worth $4,000, was
in the police court the other day on the
charge of compelling his 12-year
daughter Rebecca to peddle with pack
on her back and to beg.
He was also charged with violating
the city ordinance and was fined $40.
This fine made the old man gasp for
breath. He declared he was penniless.
Finally he admitted owning number
of houses in Yonkers.
When he found that he would have
to go to Jail in lieu Of paying the fine,
he brought forth a massive roll Of bills.
