FREEDOM OF THE CITY.
An Honor Which Had Its Birth In the
Middle Ages.

An Honor Which Had Its Birth In the
Middle Ages.
The ceremony of presenting the free
dom of the city as an honor arose In
the middle ages. when such right was
not acquired by mere domicile. No
stranger could move into a medieval
town and so into business. his own
gainful occupation or the civic activt-
ties. First be must become enrolled
in the guild Of bis trade. then he had
to undergo an apprenticeship Of full
seven years before be could be admit
ted to It's livery. Then only and thus
only could he arrive Mt the freedom
of his city.
As a reward for high deeds these
medieval city republics sometimes
conferred on such strangers as had
served them well the freedom Of the
city by solemn act of the burgesses
and liveries without the apprentice
ship Of servitude. Every such re-
cipient of a city's freedom became at
once burgess. free to dwell. free to
engage in trade. free to vote for the
civic rulers and to aspire to the civic
chair. The key was the visible sign
Of this freedom-the city gates. closed
at sunset against the stranger and the
foe. opened to the burgess key at all
hours. as the door of his own home

Opposed to Mourning Clothes.

Opposed to Mourning Clothes.
"A southern physician of recognized
skill and eminence urges that all out
ward symbols of mourning should be
abandoned" says Munsey's. "For many
years he has expressed his views. He
has won over a large number of peo-
pie who see no reason why the heart
should advertise its sorrow by the
conspicuous insignia of gloom. There
are or have been peoples wiser in
their generation. The Romans Of the
days Of the republic wore blue as a
sign Of mourning. 1t is the proper
thing in Asia Minor now. The Turk
mourns in violet and the Persian in
pale brown. Until French queen
set the present fashion in the latter
half of the fifteenth century white was
the color of grief in Europe. as it Is
now in China"

SMILE WHEN YOU LOSE.
Then Brace Up and Start Right In to
Become Q Winner.

Thsn Brace Up and Start Right In to
Become . Winner.
Be as good a loser as you are win
ner-a hard task to set a man. but
not an impossible one. Many have
met it. Those who have are those who
win more than they lose. for nothing
inspires success or victory like calm
ness in defeat or GOODNESS under stress.
1t is true in business. in politics, In
sports. in any SPHERE Of competitive
endeavor.
Not only that. but nothing Is quite
as disconcerting to ones opponent in
one Of life's contests as the ability to
lose with q smile and we'll directed ef-
fort to regain the lost. ANY man who
has run a foot race or boxed or wres-
tied or played ball knows that.
But nobody has any time for the
man who is forever lamenting his Own
loss or defeat The world simply cred
its him with being what it terms a
Crouch" which means a poor loser.
and passes him by for a more agree
able man. Any one can be a good win
ner, but 1T takes a man to be good
loser.
The philosophy OF life itself teaches
that in all of its precepts. Some one
has to lose. 1t may as we'll be you.

world goes. as your neighbor. 1t

The House Of Lords.

The house of lords was composed
chiefly Of clerics until the time of Ed
ward Ill. Thus in 1895 the peers were
ninety spiritual and forty-nine lay
members. including twenty archbish-
ops and bishops. sixty seven abbots
and priors and three masters of or
ders. Many clerical dignitaries sum-
moned did not attend at Westminster,
refusing to recognize the authority OF
parliament over their own convoca-
tons of Canterbury and York. 1t was
partly from this cause that the lords
spiritual decreased in number until
early In the reign of Edward III. the
upper house consisted of eighty lay
and only forty-tive clerical peers. while
during Elizabeth's parliament there
were forty-three and twenty-six respec,
tively.-London Standard.

There is a saying. much wiser and

to the effect that you won't get sick
II you keep we'll" 1t Is half jesting
way Of setting forth profound truth.
The risks and exposures Of life arc
so many and so insidious that they
cannot be escaped. The only hope Of
passing through them unframed Is to
keep the body so strong and sound
diseases which are constantly lying In
wait for the unguarded and the weak.
1t is a mere commonplace to say
that one man will take exactly the
same course and face precisely the
same risks that another man finds
fatal and 60 entirely unscathed. Some
times it is difference born in the two
organisms. but often it is the result
of different living and different condi-
lions in respect to strength and health.
If the body is maintained at a high
state OF efficiency and II care Is taken
to overcome and correct the little dis
orders and signs Of trouble as soon as
they appear there is not much danger

cautions and the constant toning up of
the body by exercise, fresh air. SEN

"a stitch in time saves nine" The

Orbit. Mass and Gravity Of the Planet
Twin Of Our World.
Mercury is the nearest Of known
planets to King Sol. but Venus comes
next, and In eccentricity of solar orbit
IAN eccentricity having an average OF
about 67.2OO.OOO miles-is the least ir-
regular of the planets. The distance
of Venus from our earth also varies.
with an average or mean OF about 2o.-
100000 miles at her nearest. the aver.
age distance of Venus from our earth
being approximately 6O.0OO.OO0 miles
at her farthest-
Queen Venus may be called the plan
ct twin OF our world. since her mean
diameter and that of our earth are
nearly equal Nevertheless the differ
ence Of some 200 miles In their diam
eters leaves Venus with about 92-l00
of the terrestrial volume. Venus mass
or weight approximates S2-1OO of
that of our planet. and. dividing So
100 by 92-1O0. we get S9-100. which is
Venus density compared with the den
sity of our earth. Venus gravity ap-
proximates S2-1OO that of our planet.
or. in other words. terrestrial body
weighing 100 pounds would weigh only
eighty-two pounds upon the surface OF
Venus.
Queen Venus exhibits phases like our
moon. but possesses no moon herself.
She presents a bright and thickly
clouded appearance and has an atmos-
phere which is estimated to be from
one and one-half to two times as dense
as our own. This beautiful planet was
seen. of course. by mankind in pre-
historic ages. but the earliest known
record respecting her was In CSC B. c..
