Cherry History.

1t is still asserted In schoolbooks that
cherries were introduced to England
by the "fruiterer" or grecngrocer OF
Henry WILL; also. that they were not
common for a hundred years after that
time. This is an error. Mr.. Thomas
Wright found the name in every one
Of the Anglo Saxon yocabularies which
he edited. So common were they and
80 highly esteemed that the time for
gathering them became a recognized
festival-"cherry fair" or feast" And
this grew into a proverbIal expression
for fleeting joys. Cover says the fri
ars taught that 'life is but a cherye-
fayre," and Hope "endureth but a
throwe. right as 1t, were a cherye-
feste." There is more than one record
Of the purchase of trees for the kings
garden at Westminster centuries be-
fore. Henry VIII. was born. But Pliny
contradicted the fable, as IL ii pro-
phetic mood. After telling that Luz
cuilus first brought cherries to Rome
Qrom Pontus. in $50 A. U. c., he adds
that in the course of 100 years they
have spread widely, even passing
over sea to Brftain."-Cornhill Maya

Both the Derby and the Oaks owe
their to that Earl of Derby who
kept a pack of ~staghounds near EPSON
during the last quarter of the eight
zenith century and resided at a hunt
ing box called the Oaks. Fifty years
later a spiteful description of the Oaks
and Its jockeys was recorded in the
diary of Charles Greville. In the re-
port of the first Derby run the names
of five starters and of all the riders
are missing and there is no betting
quotation.
AS the earliest known bookmaker,
Vauxhall Clarke, was hanged, not for
welshing, but for highway robbery.
betting on the race course could not
at that period have been a particularly
profitable profession. Jockeys did not
then possess their present princely SAL

more richly rewarded than those of

The sight that presented itself was

magnificent apartments Of the palace
were soon filed with US strange a set
Of rufians as you could meet any
where. 1t seemed as If they were all
mad or drunk, and yet they were as
jolly as sand boys. They seemed posi-
lively to revel In destruction and to
yell with delight as they smashed and
tore everything to pieces that they
came There was scarcely a
picture that was not cut into ribbons,
and ornaments, however costly. were
thrown down and broken to atoms.
WhileeI was standing In M Of the
grand apartments. looking on in won
der, u little man, with a sword almost
as big as himself. stood In front of a
magnificent mirror that reached from
the floor to the ceiling. He surveyed
it for a moment, and then, IS though
he were about to storm q town single
handed, went deliberately up to 1t and
with one blow of his great cavalry
blade shivered 1t to pieces. AS they
fell at his feet he put on a grand air
and said "La!" as If this was one of
the greatest deeds he had ever accom-
pIished aud the proudest moment Of
