THE PRICE OF A LIFE.
How II Was Fixed Under the Old
AnRiO-Sason Laws.

According TO Anglo Saxon laws, ev-
cry mans life, including that of the
king, was valued at n fixed price, and
any one who took it could commute the
onensc by money payment upon n
fixed scale. The life OF peasant was
reckoned to be worth 200 shllngs. that
OF man Of noble birth 200 shillings,
and the killing Of a king involved the
resiridc in a payment Of 200 shil-
lingS.
II has been pointed out that the heir
to the throne could thus get rid OF the
existing occupant by numbering him
and thereafter handing over the fine.
according To the scale, To the eXcheq-
ucr. when his offcnse would be purged
and his money would come back to
himself, for in those days the sover-
eign received all fines as personal per
Quistes. There Is very little doubt
that these rough means were practical
ly applied in the case OF some rulers OF
England In the preconquest period

mitted in the form OF mosaics. paint.

important part In the religious life OF
the russians and are to be met with
everywhere-in churches, public offices,

n priest, and ii is then regarded not on.
~ as an ornament, but as an accessory
In the worship of the Greek church
Icons are also worn on the person,
when they take the form OF n plaque
or a book with two leaves. Almost ev-
cry soldier wears one on his bosom,
and when he prays he takes out his
icon and. opening II, kneels down be-
fore II as If II were a portable altar.
Every regiment has Its own icon,
