COURT TESTERS OF ENGLAND.
Motley Was u Profitable Uniform in
the Olden Days.
Amelia Wofford, in December st. Nicholas

Amelia Wofford, in December st. Nicholas.
The kings and queens of England for a
long time, in common with many or their
subjects kept men whose business 1t was to
amuSe them. These men were the court
fools, or TESTERS and were either half-witted
persons, called natural fools, or really
bright men with the gift of singing humor-
GUS songs telling laughter-provoking stories
and making witty speeches, called testers
or ''artificial' fools.
That he must make merry at the king s
bidding, be the jester sad or gay, was the
only flaw in the testers life. AS ne was
man of talent and often of education ne
was his royal masters companion; ne was
Of humble birth, he could speak to the king
as not even the son OF hundred earls
dared Harry was Will Sommers's If, IA
miliar way of addressing King Henry VII;
Scogan made Edward Nv the victim or his
practical jokes, and Tarleton told queen
Elizabeth more of her faults than did most
of her chaplains.
Yellow was the fools true color. His coat
was motley or parti-colored, sometimes dec
GRATED with bells at the skirt and elbows,
and confined at the waist in a belt or girdle,
from which hung large purse or wallet to
receive the reward some happy jest or
''merrie gambol'' might bring forth. His
breaches and hose were tight, each leg be-
ing of a different color His headgear might
be a round hat smartened by a long, curl
ing feather, and the poet makes one of them
say:
BY my troth. the thing that desire most
Is in my cappe to have a goodiy feather.
Some wore a high-peaked cap like that
worn by our clowns or a monk S cOwl
winged with ASS ears or terminating in
the comb of a cock, from which fashion
comes our word coxcomb, meaning a vain,
snowy fellow
The fools official scepter, called his 'bau-
BILE" was a short stick finished at the upper
end with the figure of a FOOLS head, a pup
pet or an inflated bladder, sometimes con-
tanning sand or dried peas. With this he
would playfully belabor those that dis
s1rIz
bors" by a clap from it; but alas! it was
sometimes used to chastise the fool himself
when malapert.
Another dress that was also common in
Shakspeare's time was the long tunic, or
petticoat This was originally worn by the
natural fool and was composed of sheep
skin. but it was afterward adopted by the
artificial" fool and made of some rich ma
terial.

RAILROAD SECRET SERVICE.
How the Detectives Work to Keep
Professional Crooks on Trains.
New York Sun.


OF all the wheels of service that turn I'M
derneath the modern railroad there is none
less frequently heard of than the secret
service wheel The railroad detective rare
ly comes in direct contact with the travel
ing public and even the other employees of
the road do not see much of him. When
he travels at all ne travels on special pass
and usually sits in one corner of the smok-
ing car of a local passenger train.
At each terminal of most of the big rail-
roads there is a head detective, who has
two or three assistants directly under him.
The head man is usually an expert, having
large acquaintance with the criminal
classes. He walks back and forth where
re can scan the faces of passengers of both
the outgoing and incoming trains and he
frequently succeeds in stopping a crook. A
tap on the shoulder is enough in most cases
to turn one out of the stream of passengers.
If the crook insists on going aboard how
ever. the detective has no other resource
than to inform the conductor. Provided that
he is nowhere wanted, he is allowed TO
take the train. where the conductor

Duty of the Hour.

one Of the most distinguished sisters in
orr glorious cause of the advancement or
Uoma nhood has just delivered herself or an
address on the imperative duties OF the
hour We are pleased, but somewhat sur
nrised TO find included among these lmper-
Five duties the obligation of wearing what
IS technically described as union SUITS.
At the late Chicago convention for the pros
nerifv of womanhood this interesting sub
iect if we are not misinformed, was not
Gro,ipht mn for discussion, but, in view of
the unexpected appearance OF the cold
wave our distinguished sister in the East
has fittingly made it a timely topic Tor the
consideration of thoughtful persons. Whlle'
we have never luxuriated in a garment of
such extended area, and are not personally
acquainted with the manifold blessings It
p1,arantees we are perfectly aware that 1T
has the sanction of much of the very best
thought of the country, and we find in lit
at,Ire many Endorsements thereof. We
take the liberty of experimenting the able
arguments of our distinguished sister with
, few ringing remarks from the highest and
most patriotic sources:
The union forever.
The union must and shall be preserved.
An indestructible union.
In union there is strength.

broken and dishonored fragments OF
a once glorious union.
We might continue in this strain for a
column or two but we fancy that the at
tention of the ladies has been already at
tracted TO the vital question of the day, and
that these patriotic and literary indorse-
ments will aid our distinguished sister in
her struggles for the continued progress of
womanhood. We are really rejoiced to see
the ladies' taking up such admirable sub
already note great strides in the direction
Of feminine ethical culture.

PILOT LURED BY DELILAH.
How Barnum's Elephants Were Load
ed for the Ocean Voyage.
New York Journal.

Delilah's prototype played an important
part in the final scene in the loading of the
big freighter Massachusetts,, which sailed
to-day with an up-to-date Noah's cargo
aboard in the shape of Barnum & Baileys
circus The hardest part of the work Of
slowing away the miscellaneous cargo was
left until the last. This consisted in getting
the ten largest elephants and the draught
horses aboard. In the lot of elephants were
Fritz weighing 1900 pounds more than
Jumbo, and Pilot, one Of the most skittish
beasts that ever puzzled a keeper.

securely chained to one side all by nimself,
so that he could do no harm. The big der
rick which was specially constructed for
the elephants, was swung around early this
morning, and Fritz. the largest elephant
in the herd, was led into 1t. To the surprise
of the keepers he was extremely docile, and
but for few squeals 1t would never have
been supposed he objected TO the rapid
flight through the air and the plunge into
the dark hold of the ship. Pilots turn came
next and such a time he gave the keepers!
1t was in his case that female decoy was
used and which will probably secure for
the lady the sobriduet of Augusta Mack"
pilot refused all attempts to lead him into
the big cage which is hoisted by the der
rick He squealed. and trumpeted, and
tried TO roll over the keepers and acted
as if he had made up his mind for all time
not to be inveigled into the trap. In deS-
pair Mr.. Rose, the Superintendent or trans
Dortatjon thought OF Baby the big female
elephant Baby was led up TO Pilot. and
with truly feminine guile caressed and COM
forted him, and soothed him into a good
humor. Then she led him UP to the cage.
which was open at both ends. At a word
from her keeper she LED Pilot through one
door, and as she passed out of the other
end the keepers snapped the doors fast.
and Pilot was a prisoner. If the way he
screa med and carried on reflected the state
OF his feelings he must have been in a bad
way. Poor Baby stood off to one side and
trumpeted in an agony OF remorse. Finally
the entire herd was aboard and the big ship
chusetts was done in thirty-five hours.
which is considered a great feat by circus
men. Mr. Bailey left orders that no work
should sail before that date. To accomplish
the loading the men have worked day and
night.

The Criterion.

1t is not often, dare say, that an author
is induced TO buy his own autograph, but
Mr.. Richard Harding Davis showed me a
letter of his the other day for which he had
just paid catalogue price to well-known
dealer. While in Egypt he received a re-
quest for information from an unknown cor
respondent, to which he courteously replied
at length and with a freedom that should
have precluded even the most hardened
autograph trckster from disposing of the
Tote. His surprise on finding ii exhibited
for sale in q New York print shop did not
prevent him from making appropriate re-
marks to the proprietor. This sort of thing
is equivalent to getting money under false
pretenses, and there ought TO be some way
to punish both parties to such transactions
Occurrences of this nature will induce obIig-
ing authors TO abstain from all promiscuous
correspondence, or compel them to take out
a copyright on each letter.

Carleton College,

The annual catalogue of this insti-
tuition for the year 1867 is just is
sued, giving the important facts con
corning 1.-THE present status of the
college and announcements for the
year to come. The college is located
at Mortified, MINI, where it was es-
tablished in 1867. 1t belongs to the
class of institutions known as chris
tian colleges, but it is entirely free
from sectarianism in either it's spirit
or it's management. 1t maintains a
collegiate department., an academy
and school of music. Among it's
departments of exceptional eminence
is it's astronomical observatory, with
it's two telescopes and other fine in
struments, it's important original
work, it's time-service for the north
west, and it's monthly publication,
Popular Astronomy, one of the leading
astronomical magazines of the world.
The chief improvement for the last
year has been the erection of The

and commodious building, the gift of

The Circumstances Point

Origin.

Mankato was visited by another
disastrous fire in the center of the
business district Friday and it was
only by the most heroic effort on the
part of the firemen that the confagra-
tion was confined to the limits with
in which it ragged. All of the circum-
stances tended to aid the tiremen, for
the wind was light and in the most
falorable direction, the fire appar-
atus was in perfect order, and a fine
pressure was on the mains. AS was
the case with last months fire, a
number of small fires were started
from sparks, and the fremen had
great difficulty in preventing them
from developing into serious blazes.
The following is summary of the
loss and insurance, the losses being in
most instances carefully estimated by
the owners:

REWARD OF $3.50.
Sheriff Bowen Adds $3.50 to What
Has Been Offered.

Sheriff Bowen said to the FREE
PRESS Saturday that he would
offer rewardof $3.50 for the arrest and
conviction of the fire bug if the city
would do the same,
Mayor Pau was seen later and stat
ed that the $3.50 reward offered by
the council and mayor for this pur-
pose year ago still holds
good. He remarked that not
an alderman could 60 back on the
offer. Mr.. Pau is in earnest
about his desire for the CAP
rure of the fire bug, and is
likely to leave no reasonable steps un-
taken to this end.
The fire underwriters offer $3.50 for
the conviction of the fire bug. This
makes total of $3.50, and this is a
sum worth any mans time and efforts.
If anybody knows anything of value
now let him step forth.
