4 Piece of Wood from a Tree Planted by
4 the Great Poet.
! A gentleman visiting Stratford-on-
Avon, E. B. watts, railroad manager,
has just had the good fortune to meet
with and acquire, in one of the neighbor-
ing towns to Stratford, slab of wood
cut from the veritable mulberry tree
Shakespeare himself planted in New
place garden, where he resided and
died, writes correspondent. This
mulberry tree was cut down ruthlessly
by Rev. Francis Gastrell in 1855, and
so itritated were the townfolk of that
time that some of them smashed the rev.
erend gentleman's windows. This slab
OF mulberry wood has been traced back,
beyond all doubt, to the possession of a
Miss Davenport, the only daughter of
the vicar of Stratford-on-Avon in 1887.
period when the cutting down of the
tree would be fresh in the memories of
persons then living. InJ. o. Halliwell-
Phillipp's ''0utlines of the Life Of
Shakespeare, page $50, we find: REV.
Mr., Devonport, observes Malone, in
forms me that Hugh Taylor, who is
now (179O) eighty-fve years old, and an
alderman of Warwick, says, when a
boy at the next house to New place,
that his family had inhabited the house
for almost 800 years, that it (the fact Of
Shakespeare planting the tree) was
transmitted from father to son DUR
ing the last and present century"
Miss Devenport married Rev. John
Pegler, who was vicar of the
neighboring parish of Alveston, but re-
sided in Stratford-on-Avon. Rev. John
Pegler gave the slab of wood to Mr..
Bannister, his solicitor, residing in
Shipton -Stour, near Stratford. At
his death it passed to his sister, Miss
Bannister, who lately died, and at the
sale of her effects in 1889 at Shipton-on-
Stour resident there purchased the
slab, from which it has been acquired
by Mr.. Watts. The slab measures 105<
inches diameter lengthways and 8
inches diameter crossways. 1t is 5
inches in thickness and weighs 141x
pounds, a rather surprising weight for
the dimensions of the slab, but the
wood is very dense. The bark has
been removed and the slab is free from
cracks and quite solid. Either to be
cut up into veneer sections, polished
and framed, or to be cut up for mounts,
to be set in jewelry, it would be worth
its weight in gold. Taking the weight
at 147f pounds, or 174 ounces, and at
the price of standard gold, e3 It's Cd
per ounce, the slab of wood might be
appraised as worth, say, s3, 400. This
interesting relic OF Shakespeare has
seen deposited in the care of Richard
Savage, Esq, the secretary and Ii
Orarian Of the Shakespeare Birthplace
rust, Stratford-on-Avon.

wss. aaanufaoeure OF crIpples Common
- Practice In Spain.
The Paris gingerbread fair, as it Is
sailed, which is held every spring in the
faubourg St. Antoine and Place de la
Nation, is notorious for the number Of
natural and artificial phenomena ex-
hibited there to the public. This year,
saws a correspondent in the London
Standard, their number has been great
ly increased by the arrival of about
twenty culs-de-jatte, who are wretch
edly lodged in huts on piece of waste
ground in the cour de Vincennes. These
cripples, whose minute, shriveled-up
legs are curled up on the boards on
which they sit, form colony, which
calls to mind the cour des Mir
acles of former times Every morning
they all issue forth, propelling them
selves with their hands, to take up their
places at the fair, there to await the
pence which may be thrown to them by
the compassionate passers-by. Their as
pect is so pitiful that it is said many OF
them make rich harvest, which, how
ever, of course goes to the beggar
farmer" 1t appears that twenty or
thirty years ago the culs-de-jatte were
almost unknown in France, and that
these deplorable looking cripples are
the product of what may be called an
industry. Almost all these numerous de-
formed little creatures come from Spains
and more especially from Tolosa, or the
neiphborhood situated at about fifteen
miles to the south of st. Sebastian.
They are the outcome of the abominable
practices of beggar farmers" who
seek their victims among the children
of the peasants. When there is weak
ly boy in the family they persuade the
parents that he can never be anything
but a burden to them unless they con-
sent to have him transformed into a
cul-de-jatte, and promise to pay them
a trife day so long as the cul-de-jatte
Is left with them. The operation to
which the unfortunate creature is sub
iected is as effectual as it is simple.
The legs of the child are so tightly
compressed that the circulation of the
olood in them is stopped. Little by
little the legs wither away, and the cul-
7e-iatte is manufactured. In 1887
Waldeck Rousseau, the minister of the
interior, prohibited the introduction of
these Spanish culs-de-jatte into France,
but it is estimated that recently three
or four hundred of the poor creatures
cross the frontier every year They
are now seen in almost every town in
France, and have got as far north as
Belgium. To be cul-de-jatte must be
profitable trade for the beggar farm
ers who manufacture them and bring
them from Spain, as these traders pay
the parents of the poor cripples pitt
tance of only fifty centimes to one franc
a dav for their hire. ~,

{ I'VE are the victims of tickle fashion. :"
said f. A. Hendricks, a Boston leather
manufactures Formerly nearly every
ten men wore boots, but now shoes are
the prevailing style of footgear. AS
the amount of finished leather required
to make one pair of boots is sufficient
for nearly three pairs of shoes this var
iation of fashion makes matters a trife
cerulean for the tanners. For the first
time in the history of the trade the
upper-leather tanners are uniting to
control the output and maintain living
prices. The proposed curtailment this
season win amount to one million sides
of finished leather. Seventy-fve per
cent. of the eastern tanneries viii either
shut down or materially curtail their
output F"
