The Early Drum,

Drums are probably an eastern idea
introduced by the crusaders into Eu-
rope. They are frequently mentioned
in accounts of the first crusade. When
Edward III. of England and his
queen made triumphal entry into Ca
lais in 1347 ''tambours' were among
the instruments which were played
in their honor. Another of these was
called ''nacaire" or kettledrum, tax
en-, together with it's name, from the
Arabs, The poet Chaucer also men
toned this instrument in his descrip@
ton Of the tournament in 1.-THE
Knights Tale" The king generally
kept a troop of these bandsmen or
minstrels in his employ, and we read
that Edward III. on one occasion gave
a sum of 60 shillings to Roger, the
trumpeter; Janino, the nakerer. and,
others for their performances. An
other minstrel was called the ''che-
veretter," or player on the bagpipe.

The Plague and the Tan Pits.

Bermondsey's association with the
tanning industry was originally due
partly to its fine oak woods and partly
to the fact that the London slaughter
houses were to a large extent situated
in Southwark on the questionable
side of the river. For brief period,
however, it enjoyed a certain fame as
health resort. That was, as Sir Hen
ry Trueman Wood reminds us in I'm
dustrial England In the Eighteenth
Century," when terror stricken crea-
lures fed from the ravages of the great
plague in the city of London to the
Bermondsey tan pits to find strong me-
dicinal virtues in the nauseous smell"

Two Thumbed Gloves

In so cold climate as that of Ice
land the glove must be put off or on
as rapidly and easily as possible, so it
is made without fingers. and in order
that no time may be wasted in dis
tinguishing between right and left all
gloves have two thumbs. You simply
thrust your hand into the first glove
that comes and your thumb immedi-
ately finds it's way. There are, of
course, drawbacks in the matter of ap-
pearance, for the dangling idle thumb
looks untidy.--London Chronicle.
