At the court of assizes in Venice
when sentence of death is about to be
passed, man clothed in long black
robe enters the court. and advancing
to the bench bows profoundly to the
Judges, saying. Remember the baker!"
Then he bows again and retires. Here
Is the explanation of the custom:
Three centuries ago baker was exc
cuted at Venice for a crime Of which
he was not guilty. When his limo
cence was fully proved. the judges who
condemned him invested sum of
money, the interest on which serves to
keep lamp perpetually lighted in the
palace Of the doges, this being called
the lamp Of expiation." In addition,
their fatal mistake has for 300 years
been held up as warning to their sue
cessors Oh the bench when they are
about to inflict the extreme penalty Of
the law

Englishmen are familiar with the
name "bawbee," applied to the Scotch
halfpenny, but TO few does it bring the
association of baby queen and a loyal
people. Those who meet with the word
in their reading do not often stop to
ask how it came to be applied. 1t ap.
pears that the first attempt at the por-
traiture Of the unfortunate Mary,
queen of Scots, was made in her in
fancy, and her small face was en-
graved upon the Scottish halfpennies
at the time Of her coronation in 1913,
when she was but nine months old.
A number Of these small coins are still
preserved, and it will be easily under
stood how the name "bawbee." or
baby, came to be given to the coin
bearing the etfigy of the baby. The
halfpenny of Scotland is still common
ly called the bawbee, although the
baby face no longer appears on it

That was curious sort Of impromptu
coronation In which his ma esty King
William Nv. figured. Things did not
60 very well with Earl Grey's govern
ment after the second reading Of the
first reform bill had been carried by q
majority Of one in 1881, and one Fri
day in April they suddenly got the
king to go down and prorogue parlia-
ment In person. Somebody went off to
the Tower to fetch the crown, and with
q scratch body Of attendants his maj
esty drove down to the house of lords.
What happened there Is described in
Greville's Memoirs"
The king ought not properly~to have
worn the crown, never having been
crowned; but when he was in the rob-
ing room he said to Lord Hastings,
Lord Hastings, wear the crown:
where is it?" 1t was brought to him.
and when Lord Hastings was going to
put it on his head, he said, Nobody
shall put the crown on my head but my
SELF" He put it on and then turned to
Lord Grey and said, ''Now, my lord
the coronation is over!'
The crown did not fit very well, we
are told, but the propagation was sue
cessfully effected.-London Chronicle.

and one Of the sad little tales which
he told is repeated by the Philadelphia
Telegraph. 1t was bitter cold day.
and mite Of boy, not over nine
years old, had come in, wrapped in his
overcoat. This he peeled off and de-
posted it upon the pawnbroker's coun-
ter.
"Give dollar m quarter?" he asked
In pleading tones.

"Oh, please give me a dollar m a
quarter!'
Cant do it. Dollar"
The boy was almost crying, and he
begged earnestly for the sum he asked.
Il want to get my sisters coat out, +"
he said as he laid down 8 cents as in
terest money. This proposition the
pawnbroker accepted, and the boy
went shivering into the cold with his
sisters coat.

night?" bystander asked him.

The Women OF Carthage.

There is grand old story told about
the supreme devotion displayed by the
women Of Carthage. When their city
was besieged by the Romans, ropes
were needed; but, as there was no fax
to make them in the city. the women,
headed by their heroic queen, came to
the rescue. They one and all cut of
their glorious tresses and made ropes
out of their hair.
