HATCHETs FOR THE QUEEN.

GUS Custom of "Rent Service"

rent service, was observed in the Queens
Remembrancer's room at law courts
yesterday.
Inc ceremony was q replica Of what
has taken place annually for at least 900
years, and 1t consisted Of the payment
to her majesty the queen of two hatchets,
six horseshoes and sixty-one horseshoe
nails, In considerations of certain property
owned by the corporation of the city of
London
The property consists of forge in Mil
ford Lane st. Clement Danes, and an es-
tate In Shropshire, known as the
'Moors. The custom of rendering these
curious dues to the crown dates back
to the days Of King John, and probably
before.
Yesterday afternoon the queens re-
membrancer (Mr. G. F. Pollock was
seated at the head of a table to receive
the dues on behalf of the queen. On
another table We're six large iron horse
shoes, twice as large as present-day
horseshoes; a new, keen-edged ak, q
bright and blunt btllhook and in chopping
block placed between two bundles Of
fagots. Half dozen ladies and three
gentlemen seated on chairs arranged In
the form Of a horseshoe watched the
proceedings on behalf of the general pub
lie.
The Service opened with short ex-
PLANTATION by the queens remembrancer.
The tenant of the "Moors' was then
asked to come forward and render his
dues to the queen. The tenant, in the
person of Mr.. H. Homewood Crawford,
the city solicitor, approached the table,
bowed most gravely, and then took up
the ak and bundle of fagots. With
one blow he cut the fagotS in half, and
the pieces leaped in all directions
Good" said the queens remembrancer-
thus testifying to the excellent quality Of
the ak. The city solicitor next took up
the billhook, but 1t was so blunt that
several cuts had to be made before the
fagots parted. mot so good, but quite
good enough remarked the queens re-
membrancer, and the ak and the bill
hook were formally handed over in pay
ment for the privilege of owning the
"Moors"
The tenant Of the forge was next COM
manded to render his due, Again the
city solicitor gathered up the horseshoes,
and carefully replaced them one by one.
SIX" he said. "a good number" re-
piled the queens remembrance. This
nails were then slowly counted. 'Sixty
and one-siXty-one," said the city So
licitor. "a good number again an
swered the remembrancer, with evident
satisfaction; and the horseshoes and the
nails became the property of her ma
jesty the queen. The city solicitor agaid
solemnly bowed, and the queens re-
membrancer gravely announced that thu
horseshoes and the nails and the axeS
would be rendered to the queen in due
course if she desires to have them" Thu
seriousness of the remark caused every
one to smile.
The horseshoes and the nails to fit,
them, II should be explained, have been.
trotted out for this unique show many,
many times, but the axes are renewed
every year. They are given away to
some leading citizen, providing her ma
jesty does not want them.

We were going along a straight wide
read between vineyards, when, all of a
sudden, Harriet uttered a Shrek, and we
beheld a man standing on the back of
the carriage behind my parents Three
other men surrounded the carriage ore
on each side and one at the horses heads
Meanwhile the servants had been ordered
to descend, which they promptly did, and
lay fat on their faces on the ground
The man next to me was the most gentle
and had no dagger. The man behind had
seized my father by the collar and was
brandishing stiletto, which cleaned in
the moonlight. OF course they summoned
us to give up whatever we had. but we
had neither money nor jewelry. NV ia

would be found out by means of the

there was double napoleon.
The brigands felt our feet to discover If
we had any shoe buckles and our ears
for earrings, but in vain. We had a

ENOUGH FIGS
To Supply the United States Should
Be Raised in California.

To SUPPLY the On1teO states SnOu1u
Be Raised in California.
San Francisco Call.
One million dollars per annum can be
easily added to the income of California,
in the opinion Of Prof Walter T. sSwingle,
: Of the United States department of agri-
culture, by cultivat1ng figs. Prof, Swingle
has been touring the state and keenly
observing. His conclusions lis that the
foothill region Of California is .excellently
, adapted tosithe growing Of fig orchards
and is like the natural home of the fig.
Imported figs are now selling on the At
lantie coast at the extraordinary rate of
81, 600 per ton, and there are. few to be
had at that price If California had a
fig crop now it would be as good as a
gold mine.
California ought to raise figs enough
for the whole United States,'' said Prof
Swingle. AZ am satisfied that the possi-
bility of so doing will be demonstrated
satisfactorily"
The explanation Of this is that If the
fig moth, brought from Asia by Prof.
Swingle in Capri figs, shall survive the
frosts the problem of fertilizing the figs,
which has puzzled generations of Cali
fornians, will be settled. 1t has heretofore
been'supposed that the only way to intro
, duce the, fig moth into California was to
import small Capri fig trees in pots and
has adopted the more direct method and
brought them in figs, the figs being
wrapped in tin foil. A journey across the
Mediterranean sea, the Atlantic ocean and
the North American continent did not
hurt the moth in the least. There are
many samples of the moth in the state
now; all so imported and all are doing
well.
If the moths survive the frost this win
ter, the way will be blazed out for the
future industry, which cannot but prove
an important addition to the states COM
mercial resources.
Prof. Swingle says that he thinks that
it is also possible to introduce the fruit
bearing cactus into California successful
ly. This is something like the prickly
pear, with the 'prickers' left out. The
fruit is of a dull red color and tastes
something like canteloupe. In Arabia
this fruit grows on the desert and does
not need any water to thrive There are
large tracts in California, now producing
no revenue, that might be made to pay
well with crops of the. Arabian fruit Prof.
Swingle is investigating carefully concern
ing the outlook for the date palm in Cali
fornia
The shortage IN the Asiatic fig crop
ought to supply a market for any Califor-
MIA black figs fit to;send forward this sea-
son. Black dried figs have already been
sold, in small quantities, in the East, at
very good prices.
