mistress Of all known land and water,
was given to war, murder, pilliage,
rape, gladitorial butcheries and ex-

unnatural that historians have shrank
from recounting them. Chastity was
the exception, women were the beast

TENURE BY WHIP.
Strange Ceremony by Which Landed
Estate Was Held

The picturesque church Of the
parish Of Castor, in Lincolnshire,
says the London Golden Penny, IS
remarkable for a peculiar ceremony
which used to take place there every
Palm Sunday as a tenure by which
a neighboring estate was held. The
tenant presented himself in the
porch, furnished with a huge whip.
having a heavy thong Of white leatb-
er, called a "gad' from its length
probably the ancient CAD in Lin
colnshire, being a measure of ten
feet)
When the officiating minister
commenced reading the first lesson,
the man deliberately cracked his
huge whip three times TIL he made
the sacred edifice ring with the
sound, and then, wrapping the thong
round a handle and fixing a purse
containing q small sum of money
(24 silver pennies, according TO the
tenure) TO the upper end of it, he
proceeded INTO the church and D'ac-
ed himself in front of the reading
desk until the commencement Of the
second lesson, when ho knelt upon q
cushion and waved the purse TO and
fro over the clergyman's head until
the lesson was concluded. after
which he retired TO the chancel for
the remainder of the service. The
whip and its APPENDICES were then
deposited i'm neighboring farm
house.
The clergyman to whom the ac-
count of this curious ceremony was
recently related remarked that "the
man would De d bold one who att

Oriein Of a Quaint EXPRESSION.

In the fifteenth century it was
customary for English alehouse
keepers to write the scores of their
customers on the wall with a bit of
charcoal. The letter p served as an
abbreviation for pints and Q for
quarts, each being placed at the top
of column, long or short, of figures
showing the state of the customers
account. The fact being we'll
known, it became customary for
sober friends to withdraw their
drinking companions from the tap
room by showing them the length OF
the account, or, in their language,
the state of their P's and Q's."
"Mind your P's and Q's" was a COM
mon hint to a hard drinker that he
was going too far, and the expires
sion easily found favor in other
places than taprooms and became
accredited as a synonym for BE on
your good behavior"
