The Emerald In History.

The Israelites respected the emerald
as q stone Of ecclesiastical harmonies,
and we all know the passage In the
revelation of ~ rainbow round about
the throne, in sight like unto an en-
erald," and how the fourth foundation
of the wall round the heavenly Jerusa'
lem was an emerald. In Ezekiel it Is
said, Syria was thy merchant by rea'
son of the multitude of the wares OF
thy making; they occupied in thy fairs
with emeralds. purple and broidered
work and fine linen and coral and
agate" and the high priest wore an
emerald ring on the first finger of his
right hand, all the same as did the
Mexican pontiff serving in the temple
Of yotan, with whom and his Israel
itish brother were strange points OF re-
semblance.

AS late as 1912 students in Trinity
and st. Johns colleges. Cambridge,
were prohibited from wearing panta-
looms, or trousers, in chapel. Oxford
men had already fought for and won
the right to wear trousers. These were
first allowed in Oxford in 1910, when
Rigaud was proctor, and his relaxation
of discipline gave great offense to the
dons. On Nov. 20, 1915, William Phelps,
scholar of Corpus and afterward arch
deacon Of Carlisle, writes, Il have been
invited once to the bachelors common
room, where l found all wore black
pantaloons and stockings and white
waistcoats." Evidently the discovery
caused him some surprise or he would
not have thought it worthy Of record.
Dean Burgon relates in his Lives OF
Twelve Great Men" that as late as 1917
the Rev. Edward Miles Rudd as senior
fellow Of Oriel used to appear at the
college "gaudy" in black shorts.
