MUMMERY IN THE COMMONS

HBIack Rodn and His Antics IN the
English Parliament.
Many an Americas visiting the Brit
Ssh house Of commons has heard with
astonishment the cry BLACK Rod L.
comingls and wondered what was
happening,
Black Rod" is simply an indication
of the persistency with which our
oversee cousins cling to bit Of an
tIque mummery. Whenever In the
house this cry is uttered the sergeant
alarms springs to his feet, closes the
dobrs leading into the lobby and turns
the key In the lock. Having thus dra-
matically insured the commons against
an attack, the sergeant-at-arms takes
his position in front of a small win
dow, where he listens to three raps on
the door. Sergeant-at-arms then po-
litely asks what Is wanted and learns
that Black Rod has a message to be
delivered to the speaker and the COM
mons.
Then when the door is opened an old
gentleman in black is seen to come
slowly into the chamber. On his queer
old coat are three black rows; he wears
black silk stockings and trunks; a
black coat is held under one arm, and
a short black rod, with gold button
at the end, is In his other hand.
Black Rod is most ceremonious. He
bows three times to the speaker and
delivers his message, while the mem

Black Rod then bows to the speaker,
walks backward step by step to the
center of the house and repeats the
salutation. At the door he pauses
again and bows even lower
Sergeant-at-arms swings his mace on
his shoulder and follows Black Rod.
Behind comes the speaker in his off,
cial robes. The members on the
benches take of their hats and rise In
their places. About half dozen Of
them follow the speaker into the house
Of lords. The speaker raises his cock
ed hat thrice and salutes the lord chan
cellor. The message of royal assent
Is read and there is further exchange
Of salutes.
The speaker returns to the house In
solemn state. and the mace is laid on
the table The business Of the COM
mons Is resumed without further in
terruption from the polite old gentle
man in black
This ceremony is, Of course, surviv-
al Of the middle ages. when the house
Of commons found it necessary to pro-
tect itself against crown and lords.

A note In the London Field draws at

to argue some Indifference to pain on

for porcupine's flesh.
