CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.

England knew the maximum wage long before the minimum was thought of It came about after the plague of 134S had swept away half the popula- tion. Work was at a standstill for want of workers and wages went up so enormously that the state thought it necessary to fix a limit. The state or dered that the laborer should not merely accept gratefully what was off, his parish in search of another master on pain of having the letter ''F'' (for fugidve) branded upon his forehead. Statutes of this kind were popular up to Queen Elizabeth's time, when the last of the series was passed, "in the hope that it should banish the hired person, both in the time of scarcity and in the time of plenty, a convenient proportion of wages

Although English investigators find that the habit of smoking is on the in crease among women, it is not so prev alent among children as it used to be- According to John Ashton. under King Charles II it was not only usual for the women to join the men in smoking but in Worcestershire the children were sent to school with pipes in their satchels, and the schoolmaster called a halt in their studies while they all smoked-he teaching the neophyte" Thomas Hearne records that at the time of the plague of London in 1865 children were obliged to smoak I heard Tom Rogers, who was yeoman beadle, say that when he was a school boy at Eton all the boys were obliged to smoak in the school every morning. and that he was never whipped so much in his life as he was one morn ing for not smoaking."

TURNPIKE co.
OWNS THE HOUSE
ATTORNEY FINDS

Julian c. Walker. attorney for The
New Castle County Levy Court, sen
an opinion to the court today re
garding the toll house near Perry
Tavern which the Philadelphia Turn
pike Company desires to sell fol
500. Members of the Levy Court
last Tuesday discussed the purchas-
ing Of the toll gate house so that i
could be utilized when a good roads
patrol Is established. The opinion o.
Mr.. Walker follows:
Referring to the matter of the
toll gate house on the Philadel-
phia Pike,-which matter was re-
ferred to me by the Levy Court
on Tuesday, December 9, 1913.--
the records of the Levy Court,
under date of July IS, 1911, will
show that the original agreement
between the owners of the Con-
cord and Philadelphia Pixies and
the Levy Court, in reference to
converting these toll roads into
free country roads, contained a
special clause or provision ex-
empting and reserving to the
corporations all toll gate houses
and other equipments.
This agreement was evidently
the basis upon which both toll
roads we're taken over by the
Levy Court, and made free coun-
try roads, and the consideration
mentioned In the agreement, as
well as the exemptions as to toll
gate houses and equipment, hav-
ing been previously agreed upon,
the condemnation proceedings, in
each case, we're conducted In ac-
cordance Herewith.
However, In any event, the pike
company owned only an ease
ment In the Philadelphia Pike,
and the Levy Court through the
condemnation proceedings, Sc
cured only such rights In the land
as the pike company possessed,
and for the purpose of converting
the same into and using the same
as a free country highway, and
this would not include the toll
gate houses, any more than It
would include the toll-gates
themselves, and the other equip
ments Of the pike company here
tofore used by the said company,
in the conduct and management
of it's toll-road.
For the reasons above stated, l
am OF the opinion that the rights
secured by the Levy Court, In ref
erence TO the Philadelphia Pike,
through the condemnation pro-
ceedings, with reference thereto,
did not include the toll-gate hous-
es In question. and that the title
TO and ownership OF the same, af-
ter the said proceedings, remain
ed as before, in the pike company.
Yours very respectfully,
JULIAN c. WALKER,
Attorney for the Levy Court.
