When Woren Were knighted.

1t is not at all we'll 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 cher val
iant address" on the Queen taking
command at the threatened invasion
by Spain, did she know that a whole
city of Spanish women, the gallant
women of Tortosa, had been knight
ed for saving that city from the
Moors? Mary and Elizabeth had both
been knighted at their coronation, but
by the time Anne, the second Mary
and Victoria assembled the throne II
had been quite forgotten that, accord
ing to English law and use, woman
who filled a mans office acquired al
IS privileges and was immune from
Ioue of its duties.

Oppose Wellington Pension.

The Belgian chamber is about to
discuss the chapter of the budget that
includes national pensions and in
every year figures about $4,000 under
the heading "Dotation of His Great
ness, the Duke of Wellington, Prince
of Waterloo"
The origin Of this item is somewhat
curious. After the battle of Water
loo King William, the sovereign Of
the new state of the Netherlands. Gre
ated Wellington prince of Waterloo, p"
and decided that the title should be
handed on from father to son, as
we'll as the revenue of pension to be
Instituted. AS a matter of fact, the
revenue is nearer $4,000 than the
sum figured in the budget, for the
product of the lands and forest round
Waterloo which were given to Well,
ington and his posterity must be
added to what the present duke re-
ceives. A question, says the Paris
Journal. will be raised because GER
tain Belgians consider this pension
derogatory to their country. 1t is lad
enough, they say, that the State
should in the past have always been
the battle ground of Europe without
their still being reminded of it by the
pension in question.

OPPOSED USE OF THE FORK
For MANY Years After Its introduce
ton 1t Was Considered an Alb
surd Affectation.

The Italians, with their delicate
good taste, were responsible for the
substitution OF forks for fingers, but
it is difficult to trace their use there
further back than the time CORE
spending to the reign OF Queen Eliza
beth, and then they were not widely
known.
In some parts of Europe forks were
considered a useless luxury and sinful
indulgence and were for long time
under a ban of the clerics, though
these latter eventually had to give
way and tolerate their use by those
who wished to keep their fingers
clean.
In Germany the ordinary people re-
garded the innovation an absurd az
fectation, while the clerics considered
them an insult to Providence, who
had given man wholesome food which
he ought not to be ashamed to touch
with his fingers. In courtly France,
however. forks were welcome add1-
ton and speedily became popular.
The custom in England was OF very
slow growth. In the reign of James |.
and Charles |. the fork was only par
TALLY used, according to the writer's
of those periods, and even under the
commonwealth honors were equally
divided between them and fingers.
Later on, at the Restoration, their
use became more general, but people
were by no means} agreed on the best
method of handling them, and rules
were soon formulated for guidance, SO
that genteel persons could pride them
selves on the nice conduct of the fork
after the manner observed at court.
Yet it is difficult to overcome the
nreiudices OF old customs, and the
satirists of the day often amused
themselves describing the awkward
ness of their country cousins who, on
visiting town and using the instru-
ment for the first time, thrust the
morsel they had transtiXed over the
shoulder. while their fingers, from
force of habit, found their way into
their mouths.

All through his life he had a fond
ness for Biblical art. 1t inspired him.
He became convinced that the subject
and the spirit Of a great painting
could be given a dramatic setting and
made to do the work he. with indiffer,
ent success, had sought to do in the
pulpit.
He saw picture one day in which
was figure of young shepherd and
some sheep. 1t was entitled David
Watching His Fathers Flocks on the
Hills of Hebron" The story of young
David was familiar to him. He had
read it and preached from it. He set
about to make stage character of 1t
and succeeded. He called the play
'"The Shepherd King" Others aided
him, but it was his thought.
Considered Play Taught Lesson.
Il do not know if the dramatic pos
sibilities Of the character of David
have ever"occurred to playwright or
an author before" he confided to
friends who knew of his ambitions
but to me the story from dramatic
point of view is intensely interesting.
There is every known passion that
can enter into a stage portrayal
love, envy, hatred, malice, jealousy,
Joy and courage are all set forth IN
the story of David It teaches a les
son such as | have tried to teach.
For three seasons he played David
in The Shepherd King" 1t was
profitable in a money way, and to him
satisfaction, for he felt that he
could so interpret the Bible character
as to make it a portrayal worthy of
one who had started out in life to
preach the gospel.
In the booking of the play he had
the opportunity of appearing more
than once in cities where, under other
conditions, he had appealed to the
people.
On the occasion of his professional
appearance in the opera house at
Troy he was warmly received by
members of his former congregation.
In Scranton old parishioners came by
his invitation to the stage and dined
with him amid scenes showing the
country of David. He told them he
had transferred his ministry to the
stage.

looking for another play in which the
religious theme was dominant.
Still holding to the idea of teach
ing a moral lesson from the stage,
Lorimer's final effort was with a play
let called THE Crucifix." 1t did not
succeed, and in his dependency the
young enthusiast ended his life.
The discovery of the novel came as
a strange coincidence on the day that
the actor-preachers body was borne
to it's final resting place.
