ANCIENT ENGLISH TAG DAY"
Present-Day Method of Raising Money
May Be Traced to Custom of
Eton College,

Montem, curious custom long ago
allowed to lapse, used to be an insti-
tuition at the great public school Of
Elton in England. In his "reminiscences,
Mr.. Montagu Williams gives us de-
scription of it.
Montem took place once every three
years. 1t was originally founded for
the benefit Of any college student who
in his last year attained the highest
place in the school, but who by rea-
son of no vacancy occurring in time,
had not the luck to be sent to Kings
college, Cambridge. All the money
that was taken, under the peculiar
name of salt" passed into his pock-
cts on the day that he left and was
supposed to go long way toward pay
ing his expenses at either oxford or
Cambridge. The amount collected
was sometimes 1000 or even 1920
pounds.
There was q certain number of sixth
form, or upper division, boys who
wore fancy dresses and acted as salt
bearers. They carried large silken
bags into which they put the money
collected from visitors and passers-
by. The donors received in return
for their contributions little pieces of
blue paper on which was inscribed the
motto for the montem of that par
ticuIar year The motto for the last
montem was pro more ct monte"
Royalty itself was not free from the
tax. Two salt bearers were stationed
at Windsor bridge and when the queen
drove down the hill7-and she never
missed a montem-the elder of the
two stepped forward, stopped the car
riage and, taking off his hat with the
words, salt, your majesty, salt"
placed under contribution the highest !
and noblest lady of the land."-

.Kniohts Wore Feather Ornaments.

1t is pretty certain that the custom
of the knights and cavaliers of wear
ing feathers did not come from the
Indians. In the Fourteenth century,
in the reign of Edward II, 1t is set
down that the knights wore on their
shoulders feather ornaments called
athletics" or little wings.
All the men of that generation and
those that Immediately succeeded it
wore plumes of ostrich feathers.
These feather ornaments were worn
in the left side that the right or sword
arm should he free from hindrange.
Peacock feathers were considered
harbingers of bad luck. One chrOni-
cler writes that the men wore "feath-
ers Of preposterous size"

State of Illinois

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, July 16.-Two
more historic spots in Illinois have be-
come State property. They are the site
Of the blockhouse at MetamOra, Wood
ford County, made famous by Abraham
Lincoln, Robert Ingersou and circuit
riders of the early days
Lincoln was quartered in the Dixon
blockhouse while soldier in the Black
hawk war. An appropriation for mon
ument on the site, which was purchased
for $1,000, failed at the last session, but
1t is planned to place marker there.
The bill was introduced by Senator
Wright of DeKalb.
For years Metamora withstood cam
paigns waged by rival Woodford County
towns to take the county seat away be-
fore the change was finally made and a
new courthouse erected at Eureka.
At a recent celebration in Metamora
dorado Taft, the sculptor, and former
Governor Joseph W. Fifer started the
movement to make the State a gift of
the old courthouse. A bill authorizing
the State to accept 1t was introduced by
Senator Lantz of COngerville.
