She Kept Her Word.

A funny story is told concerning
Catherine of Berain, Welsh woman,
who was known as the mother of
Wales, because she founded so many
families. "She was first married to
John Salisbury of Lleweni and be-
came the mother of Sir John Salus-
bury, who was born with two thumbs
to each hand and was noted for his
prodigious strength. At the funeral of
her husband, Sir Richard Clough
gave her his arm. Outside the church
yard stood Maurice Wynn of Gwydir
awaiting a decent opportunity of pro-
posing to her. AS she issued from the
gate he did this. Very sorry replied
Catherine, but / have just accepted
Sir Richard Clough. Should l survive
him, l will marry YOU She was as
good as her word and married yet a
fourth before she died in 1891"

Bridge Building BrotherhOods,

1t was in France that brotherhoods
for building bridges first took shape.
In 117S bridge was begun over the
RhOne at Avignon by Saint Benezet,
the head of body called Fratres Pom
tbs, who undertook the building and
repairing of bridges during the middle
ages. A second soon followed at st.
Esprit.
About the same time Peter of Cole
church, the head of similar brother
hood in England, began the first stone
bridge over the Thames at London.
In many cases when a bridge was
built a chapel was founded, to which
a priest was attached to pray for the
soul Of the founder, to receive money
and to offer prayers with the passen-
gers for a safe journey.
The strange Gothic triangular bridge
at Crowland, over three streams, allud-
ed to in a charter of 943, was built by
the abbot of Crowland, and Abbot
Bernard built the Burton bridge over
the Trent. the longest in England, 1884
feet long, which carries the roadway
over thirty-six arches.-London Globe.

On one occasion Disraeli's habit Of
exaggerated adulation led to so bold an
attempt by the fair recipient to turn it

very far from being appreciated. The

The Silver Penny.

According to high authority the sill
yer penny of King Alfred is the earli-
est authentic Saxon coin that can be
traced with certainty to the London
mint. Athelstan, about 92S, was the
first British king to enact regulations
for the government of the mint, but
the coinage was debased by the mint
ers during the several reigns following.
To such an extent was this fraud car
ried ON that in the reign of Henry l.
dealers in the markets refused to ac-
cept current money, and when the king
summoned the minters to appear at
Winchester only three men out Of nine
ty-fOur escaped mutilation and Danish
ment. Henry l. is said to have insti-
tuted a mint at Winchester in 1925, but
the English do not seem to have been
proficient in the art of coming, for
Stow relates that in the reign of Ed
ward 1. the mint was kept by Italians.
In Henry ILLS time English money
greatly improved in appearance, and in
his reign took place the first gold coin
age in that country. In the following
reigns money was again debased, and
it became so bad that Queen Elizabeth
called in all corrupted coins and new
ones were issued, for the first time
having the edges milled.

Considerable damage was done before

Both the queen and her secretary, who

EskiukO Masks.

The Eskimo are the greatest of all
mask makers. During their religious
ceremonials they impersonate their own
various gods, wearing masks for the
purpose, but the most curious thing is
that they wear little masks on their
fingers as we'll as big ones to cover
their faces. These finger masks, the
like of which are unknown anywhere
else in the world. usually represent the
sun. They are of wood, carved with a
laughing or weeping face, and the rays
of the sun are represented by white
hair from the belly of the wild rein
deer set around as a fringe. The sun is
the most important of the Eskimos' di-
whites, and the principal object Of the
winter ceremonial is to persuade the
sun god to come back from the south.

Matrimonial Promotion.

The extent to which the lingo of the
navy is used as slang in the families
of naval officers, particularly among
the women. is instanced by little
story now going the rounds in Wash
ington.
The youngest daughter Of a promi-
nent naval officer was entertaining a
friend who had called to congratulate
the eldest daughter. who lately had be-
come engaged to captain in the same
service as her father. The friend. re-

Marriage In Algeria.

The farther south one travels the,
earlier one finds boys and girls arrive
at manageable age. Some time ago a
census was taken in Algeria, and then
it was found that the youngest married
man was twelve years old and that
many lads OF thirteen had several
wives. A divorced husband of fifteen
and a widower of the same age were
also discovered. AS might be expected,
the girls are even more precocious than
the boys, and, though twelve is the
usual age, many are married at eleven.
There We're found to be 1S9 widows Of
