Two Horses from Queen.

The queen herself has on two occa-
sions at least, been called upon to pay
horseshoe rent quittance" similar to
that which the city corporation rem.
ders to the Crown each year. Oakham
in Rutland, posses a unique and pc
culiar privilege, by virtue of which
any peer of the realm passing within
the precincts of the manor has to pay
tribute in the form of a horseshoe.
and if he refuses he Is obliged to give
money, which the bailiff is empowered
to take by force. Strictly speaking,
the shoe should come from one of his
own horses, but the alternative of
payment in hard cash is usually chos-
EN-, the money being devoted to pur-
chasing ornamental horseshoes to
decorate the castle walls. Many OF
these articles, including two from
her majesty given when she visited
the county, first as Princess Victoria
and again some five-and-twenty years
ago, and one apiece from Queen Eliza
beth and George lV.-London Tele-

BECOAR KINGS.
Wy Tribute Upon Rich and Poor and
Are Obeyed with AIacrity.


If you want to grow rich in China
become the head OF a guild Of beg
CARS, thieves or lepers. says the Lon
don Express. Nankin, Pekin and Tien-
tsin are the headquarters Of the most
powerful of these guilds, and their
rulers are wealthy and respected. The
king" of clan of Chinese vagabonds
OF these classes derives his income
from tribute rendered him by his
wretched subjects, and also levies a
chants by undertaking to keep their
shops, stores and houses free from the
particular pests which he controls.
From these two sources he realiz2s a
large income and is enabled to live in
a large houses and keep up great style
in his mode of life. Each clan has a
particular district of the city given
over to its operation, beyond which its
members are forbidden to stray. Hor-
rible self multilations are practiced by
their deformities may excite compass
sion and lead to profit. If you see a
blind man soliciting aims in a Chinese
street it is ten to one that he has him
self destroyed his sight On certain
days the beggaiS go about in gangs Of
from fifty to $50. On these occasions
shopkeepers are only too glad to COM
ply with the kings" demands for
blackmail in order that his subjects
may be kept out of their shops. A
king of Chinese thieves knows every
thing that goes on in his district. He
knows who committed certain thefts
and where the stolen property is. He,
like his brother Of the beggars, has a
double source of income. A large per-
centage of the profits made by his SUBJ
jects is claimed by him and woe betide
them If they attempt to cheat the au-
tocrat. And if foreigner is robbed
he generally can, by paying the king"
a certain sum, recover his property.
Property stolen from Cinnamon is
never brought back. Every Chinese
city has leper house outside its gates
and most of them have two or more.
AS in the cases of the beggars and
thieves, there is an executive head,
called the king" Of the lepers, who
controls all lepers and makes rules
and compacts, which must be observed.
These unfortunates are numerous
throughout the empire. When in the
first stage of the disease they are
hr0
care is taken of them as long as their
relatives can meet the demands of the
king" But no matter how wealthy
their families may be the king" evil
IDENTIFY drains them Of every penny,
and both the leper and his relatives
often have to turn beggars. The poorer
lepers are assigned to miserable, I'M
clean huts, providing poor shelter
against bad weather.

Baseball Popular There, Due to Effort
of Resident Americans.
Baseball is becoming popular in
Australia, says the London Mail, and
possibly some day Australians will be
as eminent in this sport as they are at
present on the cricket field. 1t is large
ly owing to the efforts of the many
Americans settled in the antipodes
that the game is becoming rapidly ac-
climated. Recently began the first Sc
ries of intef-colonial baseball matches,
the contestants being Victoria and
New South Wales, both of which colo
MES possess organized baseball assoc
Citations. The games were played in
Sydney and the home nine won two
out Of three. The New South Wales
side included Victor Trumper, N. A,
Noble and j. j. Kelly, members Of the
last Australian cricket team to visit
England, and among the Victorians
was another member of that team,
Frank LAYER. Donnan of the 1893
eleven was selected as the emergency
player of New South Wales. Local
Americans say that wonderful prof
cheney was displayed, although as yet
some Of the finer points OF the game
remain to be learned.
