Number Of Nails to ! Horseshoe.


Centuries ago there lived i; f;trrier

terity at the anvil on the occasioll d.

Who rewarded the blacksmith by
granting him sufficient land adjoining

On Of forge. As quit rent he had to
present annually TO the king six horse
shoes and sixty-one horseshoe nails
10 the modern mind the number of
nails would appear TO be superduous
but when it is remembered that the
norseshoes of that period required ten
nails apiece it will be seen that the
calculations of Edward III. merely al
lowed one over in case of accident
furthermore. the shoes were all to be

fact some historians draw the infer

Correct to a TT

Our earliest quotation for this or for
the kindred phrases Ito suit one to a
T. Ito fit to a T." ito know one TO a
T." is Of 1858. Can any one help us
to an earlier example? No one of our
many instances throws any light upon
Its origin. A current obvious conjec-
ture would explain "a t. as meaning
"a L square" but to this there are va
rious objections. We have no evil
dence as yet that the name IT square
goes back TO the seventeenth century
and no example of its being called
simply "a t. and in few if any of
our instances would the substitution
of "a L square" for "a t. make any
tolerable sense. The notion seems
rather to be that of minute exactness.
as 1t We're Ito the minutest point
But the evidence is mainly negative.
II examples can be found of IT
square before 100 or of it's reduction
simply to IT. or Of earlier examples
Of ito t. they may help to settle the
actual origin. - London Notes and

FACTS ABOUT LAKE.

Especial TO l.. J. Overlook
BOSTON, Feb. 26.-The sharp de-
cline in Lake was the only feature
of the local market today The high
price Of this stock has restricted trad
ing in it til5 now it has resulted in
one house doing all the business In
it. This house came in as a seller
today and found the market bare Of
orders TO buy. As soon as the sell
ing was over the traders bid the
stock back quickly. but we consider
il dangerous proposition Just now
and do not consider Il as a sock
which anyone should carry on margins
around present prices. The show
ing at the mine Is remarkable. but
the price has advanced faster than
the mine has been opened and un' ess
developments continue 5or a year or
two with no disappointmnts, any ar
tempt at liquidation by the present
holders will find few buyers and cause
considerable lower prices. n ans
enc has courage and money enough
10 carry the stock until it develops
into a real mine, we think they are
justified in buying at present prices
but as a margin speculation. We con
