Tavern and Loan offes.

The time honored London tavern.
the Castle. at Cowcross and Earring
don streets. enjoys the unique dis
tinction of being also a fully licensed
pledge shop. Any one may here nego.
tiate loan upon his personal belong.
ings without being under the necessi-
ty of first calling for refreshments.
This strange combination of business
dates from the reign of George w.,
who. after attending a cockfight at
Observation-Disclosures. applied to the
landlord of the Castle for temporary
accommodation on the security of his
watch and chain. By royal warrant
few days later he invested that
obliging boniface with the right Of adj
vancing money on pledges, and from
that time down to the present a pawn
brokers' license has been annually
granted to the Castle. This hostelry
is mentioned once or twice by DichNpt
In his novels.-London Answers.

CHINESE ART.

Materials the Painter Uses and His
Methods Of Work.
Chinese painting is very frequently
described as calligraphic-that, is to
say. closely allied to or derived from
handwriting. Inasmuch as Chinese
handwriting is brush work Of a high
order. it follows that every Chinese
who can write well has the making Of
skilled mechanical artist in black
and white. He has fine delicacy and
flexibility Of touch. so that, If he pos.
sesses any bent for transferring to pa
per representations Of objects Of ma
ture or the imagination. he would be
expected to produce work having a
special character.
The nature Of the material used.
such as slightly absorbent paper and
sized silk and thin water color, also
leads to work having special charac.
ter. A member Of any western race
would have great difficulty in painting
picture on kind Of blotting paper
with Chinese pen filed with thin
watery pigment. These characters.
however. give the Chinese painting its
chief charm. Birds and flowers and
landscapes and figures are put in once
and for all with no possibility of sub.
sequent touching up.
They are painted with unerring
strokes of the brush. and the result is
a clean. vigorous and living picture.
The Chinese artist. as rule. spends
long time thinking out his picture
and then rapidly dashes it in.-Chica.

kniahthood For Women.


It is not at all well known that
knighthood has constantly been con-
ferred upon women. Many English
ladies received the accolade, and many
more were members Of such knightly
orders as the Garter and st. John.
When Mary Cholmondeley, ''the bold
lady of Cheshire" was knighted by
Elizabeth for "her valiant address"
on the queen taking command at the
threatened invasion by Spain. did she
know that whole city Of Spanish wo-
men, the gallant women Of Tortosa.
had been knighted for saving that city
from the Moors? Mary and Elizabeth
had both been knighted at their coro-
nation, but by the time Anne. the
second Mary and Victoria assembled
the throne it had been quite forgotten
that. according to English law and
use. woman who filled mans Office
acquired all its privileges and was i'm
mune from none Of it's duties.-London
