Two Horses from Queen.

The queen herself has on two coca

horseshoe rent quttance" similar tC
that which the city corporation rem

in Rutland posses a unique and Pc
culiar privilege, by virtue OF which
any peer of the realm passing within
the preciu cts 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-

BEGGAR KINGS.
Levy Tribute Upon Rich and Poor an

Levy Tribute Upon Rich and Poor and
Are Obeyed with Alacrity.
If you want to grow rich in China
become the head OF a guild Of beg
gars, 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 a tribute rendered him by his
wretched subjects, and also levies a
sort Of blackmail on traders and mer-
chants by undertaking to keep their
shops, stores and houses free from the
particular pests which he controls.
From these two sources he realizes
large income and is enabled to live in
a large houses and keep up great style
In his mode Of life. Each elan 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
the beggars Of China in order that
their deformities may excite compass
zion and lead to profit. II you see a
blind man soliciting aims In a Chinese
street 1t Is ten to one that he has him
days the beggars so 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 large PEI
centage Of the profits made by his sub
jects Is claimed by him and woe betide
them II they attempt to cheat the au
tocrat. And IL foreigner is robbed
he generally can, by paying the king"
q 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 conpacts, which must be observed.
These unfortunates are numerous
Throughout the empire When in the
first stage Of the disease they ars
brought to the leper houses. Good
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.

that comes after the shock that
follows the breaking of such news
is, will the President recover? God

comes is, will the perpetrator of
the crime against his country and
