Mrs. Mary Lee of the Beehive, White
Waltham, near Maidenhead, England,
who is the oldest licensed victualer

her jubilee as a dispenser of ale. AS
long as her strength and eyesight per-
mltted, it was her habit every Sum
day evening to carry her ponderous
family Bible into the taproom, place
it reverently on the table, the visitors
making room for it by pushing their
beer-jugs to one side, and to read a
chapter to the assembled company.

book was in the apartment. The fire.
quenters of the Beehive greatly re-
spected the old lady for ner efforts to
give them moral instruction, and al
though her occasional comments might
not commend themselves to the fol-
lowers Of what is called the, higher
criticism, they were homely and to the
point. Mrs. Lee also displays in the
taproom a notice intimating that any
one using impolite language or sing
ing songs OF a risky tendency, would
be promptly expelled. Altogether, the
venerable lady. seems to be model
