When London Sheriffs Ate Goose.

When London Sheriffs Ate Goose.
Thavie's inn, in Holborn, nice quiet
spot, was formerly an inn Of chancery.
Thavie was an armorer of the time OF
Edward I'LL, probably Welshman and
in all likelihood 'Davie" and perhaps
the original Taffy Of English prejudice.
There were plenty of Welshmen in
Holborn in the days Of the Plantage-
nets. They would lie in wait for your
worship strutting down from your inn
toward the court and offer cheeses Of
the kind they called Talgar at less
than market prices and without paying
the city dues.
The. city bailffs would run them In
II they caught them and generally kept
a sharp lookout for forestallers and re-
graters and people with taste for
bargains. Thus in 1875, one day after
dinner, John Clerk, a poulterer, met
John Spencer, with twenty-five geese
in Holborn when coming to the city,"
and forthwith bought the whole flock.
He was adjudged forestaller, and the
geese were forfeited to the use Of the
sheriff, so that there would be q rare
goose pie at the next city feast.-Lon

Jews or Jcwels4

DR.. Madison c.. Peters, in his newly
published The Jews In America"
says that mot jewels, but Jews, We're
the real financial basis Of the first eX-
pedition of Columbus" He continues
"Dr. Kayserling has, beyond a doubt.
pointed out that two MarranoS. or Sc
-cret Jews, Luis de Santangel and Ga.
briel Sanches-the former the chan
cellor of the royal household and comp
troller general in Aragon, the latter
chief treasurer Of Aragon-enormously
rich merchants, who enjoyed the favor
Of Ferdinand and Isabella, supplied
the funds needed to fit out Columbus
caravels. Isabella did not sell her val
liable jewels to fit out Columbus for
his voyage. 1t is generally supposed
that she had already pawned or sold
them to defray the expenses of the
wars then devastating her country.
Or. Kayserling clearly shows that the
jewel story is false and mythical. In
the account book of Luis de Santangel
and the treasurer, Francisco Pinelo,
extending from 1491 to 1893, Santangel
Is credited with an item Of 100000
maravedis, which he gave to the bish-
op of Avila for Columbus expedition"

NEW MINERAL WELL FOUND

esterday while driving, John
Richardson same upon a spring
of water that hes decided mineral
properties. 1t is located about
four miles above Cardiff and is
but few yards from the road.
While the water has a strong
smell Of sulphur, it has a very
pleasant taste and is ice cold
when it comes out of the ground.
Mr.. Richardson states that he was
told by man living in the vicin-
ity of the spring that he had been
cured of Bright's disease by
drinking this water.
If this water has these curative
properties there will no doubt be
large number of people who
will avail themselves of the
chance to drive up there and Sc
cure some Of this water for drink
ing purposes. At any rate the
matter should be Investigated to
see whether it has these proper
ties.
Another peculiar thing about
the spring is that it has appeared
since the San Francisco earth
quake.

The lakes were all polks-dot

HISTORY OF
SEWING IMPLEMENTS

In the British museum are the
oldest scissors known. They are
made of bronze and are centuries
old and Of very substantial work
manship.
During the long centuries that
have elapsed fewer changes have
taken place in scissors than in
any other article used in sewing.
Out of the bronze sprang those of
silver, gold, brass, iron, steel and,
in later years, aluminium and
nickel.
The needle of today is an instru-
ment used to carry the thread in
sewing, embroidery, knitting, and
other similar operations. They
are generally made Of metal, but
bone, ivory and wood are also
used. For ordinary needleworl1
they are made of fine steel, and
for other kinds of work they are
often much larger and differently
formed.
The earliest needles were not
pierced, but were like avis and
were used for making holes in
skins through which the long
roots Of plants were passed. Lat
er, hole was bored in one end
of the stone or bronze needle
through which the root was pass
ed, and this was dragged through
the leather as it was punched.
Ordinary needles and surgeons
needles have been found in the
ruins of Pompeii. The Chinese
are believed to have been the first
to use needles Of steel.
Buttons were used only as Or
naments until the Eighteenth GEN.
tury, when coats came into style.
Centuries ago, before metal was
first discovered, twigs, sharp
pointed flsh bones and quilts were
used to fasten garments. The ma
terials for making buttons are au,

GRIM ACCIDENT ROLL

Washington, Mar. 25.- How
much does America pay every
year in human life for her civili-
zation!
The government is always dis
covering remarkable facts
through its various bureaus of
statistics. This is one of the
most startling of all.
More people are being killed
every year in the United States
during times of peace than in
the bloodiest battles of history.
During a single year 57,513
American men, women and CHI
dren were killed by accident.
During the last 10 years the
railroads of America have killed
1882 persons. During the same
period 931 ,450 persons have been
injured by American railroads.
During the last II years Amer
lean coal mines have killed o..
$40 men, made at least 10000
widows and upward of 10000 or
phans.
The total life cost of the Civil
war, from disease as well "a
death, was less than 100000 lives.
In the War of the Revolution the
American dead and wounded to-
gether numbered less than 5000.
The total cost of Cuba and the
Philippines has been less than q
600 American lives.
During a single year American
street railways killed and injured
a few less than $4,000 persons. In
New York the record Of q days
alone showed AZ deaths and $500
injuries.

ing as low as rs cents per gross.
These are made almost entirely in
Europe, where labor is cheaper
than in the United States. But
tons are also made Of walrus AMI
elephants tusks. These are cary-
ed by hand and are very expens-
i've. Pearl buttons are always in
demand and are cheaper now than
formerly. These are made from
pearl shells obtained in deep wa

IN the matted row, but at some
what of sacrifice of size. For
commercial purposes and on a
large scale this will probably be
preferable A greater abundance
of larger berries at the expense
of some decrease in total yield
per acre will be secured by the
second system. 1t is well adapt
ed to the needs of the producer
for the local market. The hill
system tends to produce extra
fancy berries and is the ideal for
the amateur and the home gar
den. For the first system, set the
plants 1S to "a inches apart in
rows 81 to 4 feet apart; for the
second, IA to 20 inches in rows
3 feet apart; for the third 12 to
Is inches by q to 8 feet.
Having lined out the row, mark
out the burrows as for irrigation.
The ordinary furrow made in this
way is too deep for the. plants,
but by setting the plants upon
one side of the furrow, this may
be retained for the first irrigation.
The plants had better be set upon
the shady slope of the furrow, as
willing is less likely to occur
there. This matter of the preven-
tion of willing and drying out is
of-much greater Importance under
Colorado conditions than in the
humid regions. There it is Gus
tomary to distribute the plants in
advance in approximately the po-
sitlons in which they are to be
set. Here the plants must be
kept in a fresh and moist condi-
ton to the very moment of plant
ing. To this end they must not
he exposed to the sun and air for
an instant longer than is neces-
sary TO transfer them to the soil.
With the roots covered the dan
ger is reduced. The advantage of
the shady side of the furrow is
that light and heat both increase
loss of water through transpira-
ton.
For making the hole into which
the plant is set, a fiat mason's
trowel pushed forward and back
to make a wedge shaped cavity
IS an excellent implement, or a
wedge sawed from a piece of 2x4
scantling. with a long handle
fastened to the broad end will re-
suit in less back-breaking pro-
cess. In setting the plant, spread
the roots out fan-shaped, and
use care not to bury the crown.
In the first case the roots are
brought into the largest number
of points of contact with the soil,
which is an advantage in the for
nation of the new root system
in the second case, the bud from
which the Young plant is to be
formed is free to grow and ex-
Dand; whereas. when set below
the surface. it is likely to result
n a stunting of the whole plant
The soil may be pressed about
the plant by re-inserting the
trowel Or wedge and firming the
soil against the plant.
The water should be turned in
70 the burrows Immediately after
The plants are set. and allowed to
rim several hours, or until the
soil is well soaked to some dis
tance out from each side of the
row.
