The First kenchrnen.

Skeat derives the word henchman
from hengstman (Anglo-Saxon), horse
man, groom. 1t is probable that bench
men were In the first instance young
mobiles who at state ceremonies attend
ed on the king as mounted pages. His
tory speaks Of these henchmen in this
capacity, for we read that Henry VI.
had three and Edward ". six of them.
We ind, too, that they were mention
ed In the royal ceremonies as belongs
ing Ito the riding household" and took
part In tournaments. The last time
"henchman" Is mentioned In connec-
ton with the court is in the reign Of
Henry VIII, and gradually it came to
mean an ordinary page. The word is
used by Ben Jonson and Shakespeare
in this sense.

Tradesmen Protested When They First
Appeared In London.
In a letter dated April /, 1889, Mr..
Garrard, writing to the Earl Of STRAIT
ford, says: Here is one Captain Baily.
He hath been a sea captain, but now
lives IL London, where he tries expert
ments He hath erected according to
bis ability some four hackney coaches,
put his men In livery and appointed
them to stand at the Maypole In the
Strand. giving them instructions at
what rate to carry men into several
parts of the town, where all day they
may be had.
"Other hackney men seeing this way,
they focked to the same place and per-
formed their Journeys at the same rate,
10 that sometimes there are twenty of
them together, which dispense up and
down"
Citizen sbopkeepers bitterly com
planned of this, saying:
Formerly when ladies and gentle
men walked In the streets there was a
chance of customers, but now they
whisk past In the coaches before our
apprentices have time to cry out.

He Liked Scotchnoen.

The late Meredith Townsend had an
affection for Scotsmen as contributors
TO the Spectator, of which be was for
no many years proprietor and coeditor.
Ar. Townsend's liking for the Scots
was based on an experience he had In
Leith when boy. He was on hot
day and had run short of money for
his return to London. He boldly board
ed London passenger boat, intimated
his desire to the captain to go south,
explained who he was and stated that
be was without funds. Seemingly ia
vorably impressed by the lads tale and

that would be all right and showed

A MEAL FOR A TIGER.
The Ram Was a Fighter, Though, and
Furnished Surprise.


Furnished Surprise.
Nature has made the tiger unequaled
IN the combination of speed. strength,
cunning, daring and physical beauty.
A tigers first bounds are so rapid as to
bring it alongside an antelope. and a
blow Of its paw will stun a charging
bull. 1t has been known to spring over
wall five feet high into cattle pen
and to jump back with a full grown
animal in its jaws. Sportsmen say
they have known it to carry away the
bait while they were putting up the
shelters from which to shoot it.
1t Is a fact, however, that the tiger
makes no pretense to invincible cour-
age. as may be seen IN the instance of
one kept in the Calcutta geological
gardens. which was butted to death by
a RAM a soldier owned a fighting
ram, which became so troublesome it
had to be sent to the zoo. There 1t
caused so much annoyance it was de-
cided to give 1t to the great tiger.
The tiger was so ferocious its food
was let down through sliding graf
Ing In the roof of its cage The ram
was lowered down. The tiger. doing
In one corner. saw the ram descend
and, rising, began to stretch itself. The
ram, not knowing he was intended to
be food for the big beast. supposed the
stretching was the signal for fight.
Stepping nimbly back to the farthest
q
head and went straight at the tiger
and in a few minutes butted 1t to
death.-New York Press

Madson's Pert In Giving the Exeeus

Madison's Pert In Giving the Exeeu,
tive Mansion Its Name.
Just how the White House came ia
be 80 designated is question on
which historians differ. A local his
torian In Washington thinks that the
burden OF proof tends to give credit
for the name to President Madison
The structure was made of Potomac
river freestone, and the capitol proper
was built Of the same stone At the
time the British burned the executive
mansion they did lot of other dam
age, and the country was pressed for
money to repair the same The walls
OF the mansion were only slightly dam
aged. other than being b!ackened by
smoke. Money was scarce. and con-
gress made an appropriation to have
the outside Of the house painted. White
was selected rs the best color Msdi-
son In a letter to personal friend
wrote: "Come In and see me at any
time. You will always find me in at
the White House."
The executive mansion may have
been called the White House before
that time, but this Investigator says
that he has never been able to find any
record Of It II Madison did not off,
ciate at the christening it has been
emphatically stated by the historian
that he took a prominent part In pub
fishing the fact that the White House
was to be the name Of the mansion
Up to the time Of President Madison
the executive mansion, which is the
legal name for It, was generally spo-
ken Of as the presidents house. but
since then 1t has been known by Its
permanent name Of White House.-Ex-

France Stepped 1t.
One of the most singular fishing de-
vices imaginable was discovered by ac-

simple, the system is revolutionary.
A pond on the farm OF La Marie

drained one year by the aid of steam

I'D twenty-five gallons Of water, anf
the pond was emptied In few hours
and not only was the water drawn of

This was q revolution. The owner
of ponds In the neighborhood followed
suit. and the proprietor of the pump
made a specially of this sort of work
He "let" one of his pumps. modified
for the purpose. The peasants of the
region called 1t 1.-The fish pump" Each
stroke of the piston brought up tor
rents of water. In which were fish and

number killed by disease germs. No
