Ancient Royal Rights.

From lie Cri de Paris.
Will the wife OF George v regret that
she win not receive some of the old
requisites that came TO the queens of
England? There was the old custom of
1.-THE queens gold (aurum reginae).
which went back to the time of the great
charter, by which the queen had by law
one-tenth OF all the sums paid 10 the
king for privileges. pardons and favOrs.
whatever they may have been. The king
received for each Of these ESQ 13s 4d, of
which the queen received one-tenth. All
the queens benefited by this law until
the time Of Henry VIII. Charles I
gave up hts right for 10000. For
long time the kings have not received
this money nor the queens one-tenth.
On the other hand, another custom
quite as ancient has not been abolished

the crown. The king and the queen di-
vided the treasure trove. The king took
the tail and the queen the head because,
as the statute judiciously said, 1.-The fins
would serve for the queens robes" or
better, for her corsets. On the coast
these privileges are Yet respected But
today the soyereignS do not obtain their
rights in natural form. The sturgeon

are sold. The money for the tail'is sent

The Tanana has been assembled for 800

North Buckfield.

Saturday, June 18th, was gala day
for Mountain Grange as it celebrated the
9th anniversary of its reorganization
and was the occasion of the burning Of
the mortgage by Brother and Sister
Morse, who were charter members when
it was first organized. Early in the
morning visitors and members could be
seen coming from every direction, and
when the noon hour arrived a goodly
company of about $50 were seated to
bountifully spread tables which the
members of Mountain Grange had pro-
vided. The day passed very pleasantly
with but one exception, and that was
when Brother C. n. Prince announced
the death of DR.. j. c. Caldwell, and
feelingly spoke of the loss the commu-
nifty at large had sustained. Visitors
from Paris, West Paris, Norway, Hebron,
East Hebron, Buckfield, East Sumner
and West Peru Oranges were present,
and their kind wishes for the future
prosperity of Mountain Grange served to
make it day long to be remembered by
all who were there.
Everett Fletcher of West Peru has
been visiting at Hermon Morse's.

East Sumner.

Seldom is the loss of a good useful
man so mourned as that of DR.. j. c.
Caldwell. Very few families of forty
years. experience, but that at some time
have had his professional services. His
very personality in the sick room was
cheering and helpful. Every one will
cherish his memory and many will fee
keenly his removal.
DR.. Atwood of West Sumner has two
or three patients in our village and he i,
making a very favorable impression as a
physician and citizen.
Orville Barrows continues in poor
health.
Geo. Maxim, who has been at the
Central Maine General Hospital at Lew
iston since May Is, may possibly return
home before this item is read, as he is

Rev. Gilman Rice was in the place a
week recently. He was pastor of the
Congregational church here for about
seven years, and all were pleased to wei,
come him again and hear his voice from
the pulpit that he formerly occupied.
Several from the place have visited the
"twin cities" since the early and late
trains were in effect.
Only few from the place visited the
"Wild West" show at Lewiston on the
2lst inst; others will probably take in
"Forepaw" on July 4.
Mrs. Annie Irish, wife of Alfred Irish,
who has been in critical condition, at
this date is said to be improving slowly.
DR.. Caldwell was attending her when he
suddenly expired. Really sad and Pc
culiar event.
