A Medieval Meua1hone.

a curiosity of great antiquity is still
to be seen within st. Andrews church
at Willoughton, near Gainsborough
says an English magazine. This is 6
quaint speaking trumpet with an OBJ.
scure early history, dating back to the
times of the Knights Templars In
shape it resembles a French horn and
is more than five feet long, having a
bell at the end of the graduated tube.
1t was formerly six feet in length, but
is now telescoped at the Joints, where
the metal has apparently decayed.
Tradition declares it was formerly
sounded from the tower to summon
aid in case of need. as when blown
at a height the weird. deep notes the
trumpet produced could be heard
great distance away in bygOne days.
1t is believed that this curious instru
ment has often been used to call to-
gether the villagers, thus dispensing
with the usual bell, and to give addi-
tional power and strength to the choir.
being then probably used by the chief
singer, as the trumpet intensifies vocal
sound to a marked degree.

Rare Peruvian Ware,

Vessels of odoriferous clay were i'm
ported early in the sixteenth century
from Peru. Chile and Mexico by the
Portuguese merchants. to which were
given the name of buccaros. So highly
was this ware esteemed that only the
wealthiest collectors could afford to
possess entire specimens. Broken
pieces were set in gold or silver or
ground to powder to be used to scent
cakes and confections and to perfume
gloves and handkerchiefs. 1t was also
supposed to possess medicinal pop
critics and was prescribed by contem-
porary physicians for certain all
ments. The great demand for the
buccaros resulted in the alleged dis
covery of scented clays in Portugal
and the potters of the time used them
to fashion all sorts of drinking YES
sells on which they impressed seal
or stamp. hence the adoption OF the
name terra sigillata.

The Naughty Butchers.

The complaint against the high cost
of living probably dates from the
time Adam paid so dearly for bite
of apple. At later Gate, according to
the Westminster Gazette, the retail
butcher Of France grew very arrogant,
and it says that the present increased
price of meats has caused the exam
ination of the records in order to trace
the origin of the trouble there. In 1890
a decree was issued which suggests
that butchers were carrying things
with high hand. 1t says: Butchers
are expressly enjoined not to i'll treat
or use abusive language to the ladies
of their city. or the women Of low de-
gree, or the servant maids who propose
to deal with them. They are on no
account to mock or deride the said
ladies, women and maids, but are to
receive politely all offers made to them
for their goods. San Antonio Express.
