There was playful humor IN
Lord TennySon that rarely showed
itself unless the poet was within the
familiar circle of his friends. John
Blackwood. member of the famous
firm of publishers, gave an amusing
instance of this in one Of his let
ters:
The Rev. James White, rector Of
a neighboring parish, and Tenny-
son were chatting each other, as
their custom was. concerning the
merits of their respective houses.
'1 believe part of Bonchurch be-

''The whole of it." said White.
sYou mean," retorted Tennyson,

And the Rev. James White .was

No humbug claims have to be
made for Foley's Honey and Tar,
the well known remedy for coughs,
colds and lung troubles. The fact
that more bottles Of Foley'S Honey

cough remedy is the best testimonial
of is great merit. Why then risk

when Foley's Honey and Tar costs

VERY QUEER PEWS.
Amusing Oddities of Some Anosent
ENGLISH Churches.

Some pews in the fine old church
at Malpas, Cheshire, possess a most
amusing popularity. Each one con-
sists of several seats, which are real
ly, though not apparently, dctach-
ed, and they look easy and COM
Portable. In tbs case appearances
are deceitful. for should ore occu-
pant of anv one seat lean forward
while "nidnid nodding" over he
goes on the floor. The seat is SO
as to easily tip over
hen any weight is placed Oh 1T
r utter or front edge and was 50 de-
signed to prevent people from going
to sleep in church.
We still find in a few of our an
cient churches the high pewS, luxu-
rious cushions and curious fittings
of former days.
In the good old times, when the
squire was lord of all he surveyed
IN the village, his pew in the parish
church was often kind OF sitting
room. One such pew occupies the
whole of the south transept of the
d;minutiye church at Cation, IN
Surrey. 1t has fireplace. a low
seat which extends around two sides
of the room and blue tapestry dec
oration. Above it is another floor,
on which are three or four ordinary
pews for the use of the squire's
servants, and from it covered way
leads to Cation Hall, some few
yards away. There may be some
truth in the story that former
squire used to enjoy pipe by the
fireplace during the sermon and
that if he became weary he would
90 out through the private door for
a short stroll in the churchyard.
A similar pew exists in church
at Colwich, Staffordshire. 1t has
staircase leading to private door,
aid it is said that the postman
came this way to convey letters and
that the servant brought in cake
and wine for consumption during
the service.
The royal pew of St. Georges
chapel, Windsor, is peculiar, because
it is the largest of its kind in Eng
land and on account of its being sit
uated above the choir, down upon
(" which the queen can see the service
from a fine oriel window.
In little Benjamin church, Nor
folk, is a pew for strangers and wed
ding parties. 1t was constructed BY
q shepherd and bears cheerful,
suggestive piece of ornamentation
in the shape of the carving OF
skeleton, with the following inscrip-
Sion:
For couples joined in wedlock: and my
Friend
That stranger is: This seat did intende.
But built at the cost and charge OF Ste
phen Crisbee.
All you that doe this Place pass by.
As YOU are now, even so was l..
And as am soc shall you bee.
Ammo Domini l6+0.
A game of whist played in a pew
would nowadays cause considerable
comment. vet it seems that the
square pews at Trowbridge were
used for this purpose at the time
the "poet" Crabbe was droning
away in the pulpit.
Other interesting old pews have
names and occasionally coats OF
arms painted on them thus:

.ChurcLing Pew and, best of all
