PEPPER IN OLD TIMES.
It Was in Early Times the Most Esteemed and Valuable of
 All the Spices.

Dr. Adolph Miller. of Philadelphia. president of the Pennsylvania Myco- logical club, in q dissertation on the pepper plant. says that during the mid dle ages in Europe pepper was the most esteemed and important of all the spices. Genoa, Venice and other com lnercial cities of Central Europe were indebted to their traffic in pepper for large part of their wealth. It's impor- tance as means of promoting com mercial activity and civilization during the middle ages can hardly be over rated Tribute was levied in pepper, and donations were made in this spice, which was frequently also used as a medium of exchange in place of money. When the imperial city of Rome was beseged by Alaric, the king of the Goths, in 405 A. D., the ransom demand ed included 5000 pounds of gold, 30,- OOO pounds of silver, and 5000 pounds of pepper, illustrating the importance of this spice at that time.
 So-called pepper rents, common dur ing the middle ages, consisted in an ob- ligation imposed upon tenant to sup ply his landlord with a pound of pep per at stated times, showing how ac- ceptabe was this favorite condiment and how great was the desire of the wealthier classes to secure regular supply of it. Spice dealers were known as piperarii; in English, pepperers. and in French, poivriers. As fraternity, or guild, they existed in London in the reign of Henry II. G154-liS9). They were subsequently, incorporated into the Grocers' company. and had the con trol of the trade in spices, drugs. dye stuffs and metals.
 The price of pepper during the mid dle ages was always exorbitantly high, as the rulers of Egypt extorted a large revenue from all who were engaged in inc spice trade. The high cost of this important continent melted the Portu- ruese to seek for sea passage 10 h. lia. Some time after this discovery GA. n 14os) there was a considerable fall in the price of pepper.-N. '. Sun.

RELIGION IN FRANCE.
of Materinlism Has Been Quite Marked.

Reaction from the spirit of irreligion and materialism in France has of late years been frequently remarked. Writ CTS like Bourget, Brunetiere. neither ot whom Is professedly Christian, and Coppee, who is recent convert, lend to the French phase of this movement a peculiar interest. In this connection, Brunetiere delivered discourse re- gently at Besancon. After depicting the Christian idea as the only absolute thing in the. world of change, said:

MORGAN, A GOLD-BRICK MAN

Sheriff Shaw has added another plume
to his hat in the capture of the noted all
around crook George Morgan, alias Billy
Atkins. This mans photograph hangs
in the rogue galleries Of the cities OF Chi.
cago, St. Louis and Portland, while the
sheriffs Of numerous counties in divers
states have been looking for him. He
goes back to Missouri, however, with
Supreme Court Marshal See OF jefferson
City, where he is wanted for working the
gold brick racket. Morgan is now under
sentence, but having appealed to the su-
preme court, was allowed his liberty
upon giving the proper bond. He was
no sooner at large than he left for greener
fields, turning up In Yakima. He had
not fingered here long, however, before
Sheriff Shaw, who has keen scent for
crooks, discovered his whereabouts and
landed him in the county Jail, after
which he notified the authorities of the
the capture.
Marshal See, who started for Missouri
with his man on Monday night, stated to
HERALD reporter that he considered the
capture Of this man by Sheriff Shaw one
of the cleverest pieces OF detective work
he had known in his long experience as a
peace officer, and that while the crime of
which the man had been convicted was
not very grave one, there were other
more serious ones which would probably
keep Morgan behind the bars the re-
mainder Of his days. He also stated
that the capture of this crook means q
great deal to the peace and dignity Of the
state OF Missouri. as he is the king mem
Der of gang of outlaws who have given
the officers of that state much trouble,
but which can probably now be broken
up and dispersed or captured.
Sheriff Shaw is all right.
