CurInuS Old CNronnuY.


For nearly seven centuries curious
old ceremony has annually taken place
in the exchequer on the rendering Of
quitrents for certain lands in the Coun-
ties of Salop and MiddleseX, consisting
of the chopping in twain Of two small
fagots of wood. one with hatchet and
another with a bill-hook, and counting
a certain number of horseshoes and
nails. These are probably the most
ancient rent services now rendered in
this country. The earliest known re-
cord OF the first service is found on the
roll of Shropshire serjeanties OF the date
of 18th John. 1911, which merely says:
"Richard de Medler holds one virgate
OF land, and renders for the same, at
the Feast OF S. Michael. two knives"
On wednesday last the City Solicitor
and secondary, as representing the cor
poration, into whose possession the
properties came nearly three centuries
ago, attended before Mr.. George f. Pol
lock, the Queens remeMbranceer, when
proclamation was made thus: Ten
ants and occup'ers Of the piece Of waste
ground called the Moors, in the Coun-
ty of Salop, come forth and do your
service"
Thereupon the City Solicitor render
ed a hatchet and a billhook, which have
been long since substituted in lieu OF
two knives and there severed two small
fagots of wood.
Further proclamation was then made
thus: Tenants and occupants OF
certain tenament called the Forge In
the parish of st. Clement Danes, in the
County Of Mlddlesex, come forth and
do your service"
The City Solicitor thereupon counted
six horseshoes and siXty-one hobnails.
The Queens remembrance pronounced
them Good numbers"
The horseshoes and nails, which are
very ancient, are retained in the custo-
dy Of the Queens remembrancer. and
are used from year to year.
Some people may think that such a
very antiquated ceremonial should be
allowed to cease; but the corporation
of London wisely thinks otherwise, and
prefers to keep in touch with bygone
ages in retaining this very interesting
and quaint old quitrent service. Her
Majesty took so much interest in 1t
that last year she desired this occasion
should be sent to her, and they were
accordingly forwarded to the Queen
through Lord Chamberlain, enclosed in
n handsome oak case, with silver shield
thereon, upon which was engraved an
account of the service upon which
they had been used.-London Times.

Pearls are named according to their
size. The very large are called para
gon pearls; when the size of a cherry.
cherry pearls; medium are called piece
pearls; smallest, dust pearls; while
badly formed specimens are known as
baroques. The value OF pearls varies,
OF course, with the quality and general
colors, but the piece, seed, and dust
pearls always have a market price. The
cherry and paragon are sold on an en-
tirely different basis. If many fine
ones are on the market at a time, they
may be had at reasonable rates. Some
years they bring almost any price. The
last two years, especially, the dealers
say, there has been great scarcity of
fine pearls, although there is no falling
off in the supply of the small stuff.
When a pearl exceeds one carat in
weight it is sold separately. Under
that weight they are sold in parcels,
and becomes les valuable as they be-
come smaller. The smallest dust pearls
collected average about five thousand
to the Troy ounce. and are at present
rated at about nine dollars an ounce.
II, on the contrary; one paragon weigh
ing an ounce, or one hundred and fifty
carats, was on sale it would bring any
amount from thirty thousand to two
hundred thousand dollars, according to
quality.

OLD LOVERS,

Heart Of my heart, when the day was
young.
Hope sang to life with a silver tongue;
Hone beckoned Love down a flowery
way,
where twas always morning and al
ways May,
And two true Lovers need never part
DO you remember, heart Of my heart?
Heart OF my heart, when the moon was
high.
Work showed the way we must travel
by;
Duty spoke cold and stern In our ears,
Bidding us bear all the toll and tears.
Partings and losses, sorrow and smart
Have you forgotten. heart OF my heart?
Heart OF my heart, in the setting sun,
We sit at peace, with our days work
done;
In the cool OF the evening we two look
back
On the winding pathway, the moons
rough track,
And the morn's green pleasance, where
roses twine,
Heart OF my heart-with your hand in
mine.
Heart OF my heart, when the night Is
here,
Love will sing songs Of life in our ear;
We shall sleep awhile meath the dais-
led grass,
Till we put on the glory and rise and
pass
To walk where eternal splendors shine,
Heart of my heart-with your hand in
mine.

THE CAUSE OF THE SHlvERS
Hie Was Not Reading for the Sake OF III
Spiritual Welfare.

lie Was Not Reading for the Sake OF III
Spiritual Welfare.
Deputy Sheriff winslow sat In his
Office perusing the account of David's
interview with Goliath. He was not
reading for the sake of his spiritual
welfare. He was about to venture
forth upon an undertaking beside
which that OF David paled into insig-
nifcance. He was going to serve
writ upon the body of John l.. Sullivan.
Therefore he was seeking tips, and his
memory being somewhat haZy In re-
gard to the manner in which David did
up Goliath he read the story to see IL
he could vanQuish the terrible John l..
In the same manner should the latter
take 1t into his head to swat the maj
esty OF the law.
He stuffed revolver In each hip poe
ket. stuffed three or four bludgeons
and spring billies about his person and
started forth. He started in business
at the box office Of the Olympic and
was told that he would find John l..
in his dressing room. 1t is needless to
state that the sheriff Ia a brave man.
Otherwise he would not take his life in
He approached the dressing room
and halted outside he door. II forgot
to iaake my will and bid those at home
farewell" he thought.
We'll. here goes. II he don't reach
me the first time and | can't get at my
guns or blackjacks III kick him In the
stomach" He surveyed his feet with
pride.
He knocked on the door and asked IL
he could see Mr.. Sullivan. Come in"
yelled the terrific voice. The big fell
low had just left the stage and was in
his sparring rig. Without waiting. and
lodging an imaginary blow, Winslow
read the writ OF arrest. He knew 1t by
heart and accordingly had his eyes pei
ed for the blow he expected. 1t didn't
come. There was no explosion OF the
leonine wrath he had looked for. John
l.. intimated that his former manager.
Mr.. Dunn, who had the writ issued.
was not a friend Of his, and repeated
the blood-curdling assertions which
the sheriff had thought were meant for
him.
Sullivan sent for Steve McMaugh to
furnish bail for him, and Steve fur
nshed 1t as soon as he could get to the
theatre. Winslow, who, by the way, is
rather thin and OF light weight, could
not contain himself for JOY, and walked
cut with halo around his head. No
one saw it there, but he knew 1t was
there because he felt it.-Providence

All Our Chalk From England.

One of the few exclusively important
imported British products used in our
country is chalk. 1t comes from the
banks of the River Thames, being OBJ
tainable nowhere else in large quant,-
ties. In it's crude form, remarkable
Aint fossils are sometimes found, usual
ly the remains of fish, The process OF
manufacture from the natural state to
that of form when 1t can be utilized
is simple When received at the mill
the chalk is put into great machines
and ground with water, then floated off
into yats Of water, where all the impu-
rifles and foreign substances are pre-
cipitated, the water being afterward
drawn off by series of filtering opera
tions, and the soft res.duum dried by
steam heat and exposure to the air;
the substance is then reduced to pow
cr of different degrees of fineness by
grinding in burr mills and betting,
when it is ready to be packed in barrels
and sold for use among the different
stores throughout the country. -

Trained Nurses.

According to the superintendent of
one of the largest schools for trained
nurses in New York. their occupation
is not the easiest work in the world. 1t
requires almost an ideal woman 70
make a good nurse. She must not only
have all the qualities that go to make
up the good woman, but she must have
in addition the special qualities that
are necessary for the nurse. She must
in the first place. have perfect self
control and patience. There is much
that is dsheartcning about nursing
the sick.
The man or woman who Is suffering
from disease is transformed being.
Sick folk lose control Of themselves,
and do and say things for which they
cannot be held responsible. Particu-
larly is this so in the case OF the very
ppor-to say nothing of the deprayed
classes, who are often treated in great
hospitals. A nurse must always be
cheerful, always sympathetic, capable
OF mentally putting herself in her pa
tient's place. Under her pleasant ex-
terror she must also have a will Of
iron that compels the obedience OF her
charges.
Women who have been teachers
make the best nurses, and in fact a
large percentage OF the nurses have
been teachers. A curious fact is that
there are few New York girls among
the trained nurses serving in New York
hospitals. Most Of them are from the
country or smaller cities. One reason
for this. of course, is that many girls
born and brought up in a large city
are not up to the physical standard re-
Quired Of trained nurse.
