Not So very old After All.

{ In a little village churchyard al
Bickenhill, in Warwickshire, is q
tombstone upon which is inscribed the
age Of. g dear old maiden lady YhQ De
parted this life In the year 17O1. Her
age, as testified by the engraver's art,
was 70S. Born before the Conquest
and dying under Queen Anne. Again
at Chave Priory, Worcestershire, the
age Of rude forefather' is similarly
inscribed as 300. Not to harrow theread-
er, we may say that these portentous
figures are strictly the product Of the
engraver's art The monumental ma
son of those days was nothing if not
ignorant, and his idea of writing 70 or
80 was to write 20 or 80 first and or
8 afterward, meaning 20 plus 8 or 80
plus 8, ETC., as the case might be.
