kniuhted Actors.

It is an odd fact that of the English actors knighted all but one had first to legalize the names under which they had won fame. The question arose with the first proposition to confer kn'ghthood on gypsy. 1t would be absurd so to honor one John Henry Brodrihb. Yet legally no such person as Henry Irving" existed. No such obstacle had to be overcome when, on the occasion of Victoria's diamond jubilee, Squire Bancroft knelt before his queen and arose sir squire How ever. the three actors knighted by King Edward bore cognomens of their own invention. Sir Charles Wyndhan was born Culverwell, and Sir John Hare, Fairs. As for Sir Herbert Beer bohm Tree, his brilliant wife once put 1t "'Tree' is fantastic thing we just tacked on.

Tho Old EnoIjsh Prize Rinu.

In the latter days of the English prize ring lnnumerable expedients had to be devised to bring off a fight. 4 favorite plan was to pitch the ring on the borders of two counties. so that the question of magisterial jurisdiction might be rendered difficult. Another plan was to charter a steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot in the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Savers and Heenan in 1860 special train was run from Lon don bridge to a secret destination. But the passengers. who comprised members of parliament. peers, pick pockets. pugilists, clergy and, 1t is said. few bishops. cheerfully took tickets simply marked excursion" They presently found themselves near Farnborough, in Surrey, where the fight occurred.-London Chronicle.

Sir John Fastolf was the original Of Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day was a continual butt for the jests of the town and borough of Southwark Though he had fought at Agincourt, when Jack Cade invaded the borough. he showed great cowardice. When Cade was yet some way off Fastolf had armed and fortified his house and garrisoned 1t with veterans of the French wars. On the arrival of Cade, however, he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower, leaving his neigh bors to the mercy of the rebels. Fas- tolf's matrimonial adventures seem also Ito have been another source of unpop- ularity. for. having married widow named Scrope, he seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheri- tance during his own lifetime.-Lon- don News,

The Human Lobster,

The lobster has always appealed to the Englishman as affording nick. name for his fellow Englishman. Lobster was favorite term of abuse among the Elizabethans, though if is only conjectural that an allusion to red faces was conveyed. As signifying a soldier. lobster originated in the civil war. being applied to the Round head cuirassiers. as Clarendon e. plains. because of the bright iron shells with which they were covered" Afterward the allusion was transfer. rcd to the soldiers red uniform. But that was the ''boiled lobster" The "raw lobster" was naturally the man in blue. the policeman.
