GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND.
How Their Claims Were Established
In the Middle AReN

How Their Claims Were Established
In the Middle Ages.
A curious meeting was held in Lyons
on Jan. 4, 1899. The royal commits.
sloners solemnly sat In council to de-
eide the question II lawyers and doc
tors could be regarded as gentlemen.
1t proved too hard a problem for the
wise heads, and the doctors and law.
yers themselves were summoned to
prove their right to gentllty. The mat
ter was settled to the satisfaction Of
the professional parties
In the middle ages Of England her
aids went through the counties to ex-
anime into the claims of lsndhOlders
to be called gentlemen. There is In sx.
istence an interesting HIST Of the dAs.
qualified, and one reads tsday The
shame Of certain Thomas Rebblns
who failed to establish the title aAa
was writ ameng the iEDobse. CHARLES
Anscote, a representative Of enc Of tAs
oldest families, is registered a. "sa'
titled to be styled gentleman, a.
though worth not more than fboo."
Brooke, an old writer, has given the
world his opinion Of what constitutes
a gentleman, and his definition has
never been excelled:
"The character, or, rather, quality, st
a gentleman does not In any degree es.
pend on fashion or mode or state OF
opinion; neither does II change with
customs, climates or ages. But as ths
spirit of God alone can inspire It, % II
is that quality Of heart which is tAs
same yesterday, today and forSvsE."

Only In England, France and Amer
lea is the orange blossom the bridal
flower. When the German fraulein
becomes a frau her head is garlanded
with myrtle, except in certain sec
tons, where gaudy wreaths Of artif-
clal flowers replace the natural blooms
and are treasured from generation to
generation.
In Italy and the French cantons OF
Switzerland white roses are dedicated
to the brides as well as the dead, but
in Spain red roses and pinks lend an
additional touch of color to the bridal
dress Of black and yellow.

however, the bridal wreath Is consid.

The Time a. Day.

Strictly speaking, the word morn
ing" which first meant the time of day
dawn and then the early part Of the
day, is now confined to the time be
tween midnight and midday, or noon
But 1t has long been usual in society
to apply the term to the whole Of the
day before dinner. So long ago as
April 10, 1896, the Hull Advertiser
gave the information that "the Duke
of Devonshire took a mornings ride
before dinner yesterday at o'clock in
the afternoon" Noon" too, once had
a floating meaning, but is now def
nitely IL midday. But at first 1t meant
the ninth hour-that is, 8 o'clock In the
day, the time of reciting the MONIES
In the Roman Catholic church. AS the
hour for this Office fluctuated, 80 did
the meaning of NOON" which might be
any time between midday and 3. And
finally the word assumed its present
limited signifcation. 1t was dinner
time, the most important moment OF
the day to an Englishman.-Londor
Chronicle.

The Judges Treat.

The judges boyhood home was in @
small New England village, where he
had the reputation of being very kind
hearted and generous man. He was
always glad to see his old friends, nc
matter how rustic they might be.
On one occasion the Judge had some
legal business in the capital of his ma
tive state, and there met an old farm
er from his birthplace who was taking
an unwonted holiday and looked rather
bewildered. The judge invited the old
man to dine with him at the hotel.
When the farmer took his seat at the
table one of the walters laid bill OF
fare before him. The old man looked
at it, and, then, turning round to look
the waiter squarely In the face, he
said in tone that rang through the
dining room:
mo need to gimme that, young fel
Ter. Judge Brown cal'lates to settle
my bill. He came from our town, an

called the Deyll's Invention.
The children were soon missed, and
the alarmed inhabitants searched for
them more than forty-eight hours, The
boys, when aware Of their wretched
situation, made various attempts to
get out and at length, by digging away
with their hands the surface of the

at last attracted to the seashore by the

Horrible are the stories Of the pol

many a murder has been done, So
many an undesirable friend or rela-

ring Of Caesar Borgia was massive, but
hollow, and in this cavity he carried
a deadly poison, which,, by means of O
cunningly devised slide, was dropped
into the wine cup Of any guest of
whom he might desire to be rid. Other
death rings" communicated poison by
means of small, sharp steel claws, cleft

Few persons know why August has
thirty-one days. July, which takes Its
name from Julius Caesar, has thirty.
one days, and Augustus, who complet'
ed the calendar, declined to submit to
the lndignity OF seeing his own month
branded with the inferiority Of one day
less. The astronomers had according
ly to reshuffie the lunar cards, and, aft
er some perplexity, hit upon the ex
pedient of shearlng twenty-four hours
from February's glory in. order that
August might face the world on
footing Of perfect equality with July.

TO CHEAT THE GALLOWS
Governor Folk Declares it
Mighty Hard to Hang
a Woman

jefferson city. Mo-. May 2s.-Cov
Folk has received many lettcrs asking
him to commute the death sentence im-
posed upon Mrc. Aggie Meyers in the
Clay county circuit court for the murder
OF her husband and affirmed by the state
supreme court. June 20 IL the date fixed
by the latter tribunal for the execution.
In the commission OF the crime Mrs
Meyers was aided BY Frank Hoffman.
her lover, who Is also sentenced to death.
No appeal made TO the Governor seeks
to cxtenuntc the crime or to offer miti-
eating circumstances, but all are made
on the ground that It would bring dis
credit ON the state to permit woman
TO be hanged. The general impression
seems to be that the Governor viii COM
mute the death sentence to life impris-
onment. despite the fact that the crime
was peculiarly atrocious, he having de-
clared that Il would be mighty hard to
hang a woman. Clemency to her would
be more than likely to bring It TO Hott-
man. whom the evidence clearly shows
was lured into the killing by the woman.
No effort thus far has been put forward
ITO save him from the gallows.
