FOLLOW QUEER CID CUSTOM

One of the queerest customs to be seen in the queer old city of London is observed on morning of Good Fri day, when 21 widows of the parish pick up as many bright silver six pences, fresh from the mint, from flat tombstone in the churchyard and receive as many hot-cross buns.
 Rahere. the founder of St. BartholO- news, away back in the Twelfth cen' tury, who is credited with having been a merry jester in his unregenerate days, may have laughed at the con tinuance of a custom the origin of which nobody understands, not even the generous-hearted gentleman who hands out the sixpence and the buns, or the thankful ladies who receive them.
 The custom is ''ropt in mistry," as Mfr. YelIowplush would say, but it goes on year by year. One story is that lady who passed away in the earlier years of the Reformation, anxious that masses should be said for her, and knowing they could not be said pub licly. left money for that purpose to be distributed every Good Friday. She hoped that the poor widows, as they picked up the sixpences from her tomb stone. would offer a silent prayer on her behalf.

NIILLICENT

THE affected young miss who chang. A es her name from Mildred to Milli. cent in the fond belief that the two are Interchangeable, is really rechris. tening herself The two names are ut. terly dissimilar
 Millicent, which Is translated to mean work, strength, comes from that remarkable word "amal," meaning work, which appears in some similar form in all languages. We have our word ''moil'' from it. Many feminine names have been evolved from anal, the first probably being Amalaswinth. the unfortunate queen of Lombardy, whom the Romans could not protect from the treachery of her favorites. Historians call her Amalasontha, but in Burgundy she became Meli. sendra, Melicerte, and Melusine.
 Spanish balladlore reveals a Melt sendra as the wife of Don Gayferos who was taken captive by the MOors and we hear of her through Don Quix. ote. Melusine was the nymph, wife of Lord de Leezignan, who, according to old legend, retired from public view every Saturday and turned into . serpent.
 Princess Melisende carried the crown of Jerusalem to the House of Anjoy and through the PrOvencal con- nection of the English court, Lady Melisent Stafford, who lived during the reign of Henry II, established the pame in England. It soon came to be spelt Melicent and finally Millicent, prevailing as such today.
 The simplest of all gems, the tur- quoise. is Millicent's talismanic stone. It Is said to protect its wearer from all dangers, whether she walks or rides-Or flies, the present day legend must add. It is an augury of good fortune if she sees the new moon re- flected in the stone. Saturday is her lucky day and her lucky number and holly is her flower.

In his seclusion in the forbidden city in Pekin it has been very difficult to obtain photographs of the deposed Chinese emperor, whose throne was taken from him before he had a chance to reign. This is very recent photograph and shows the young realmless monarch as he appears to- day, in his silk palace robes. His name is Pu Vi, but his imperial name is Hsuan Tung, which has the gran diloQuent meaning of "legislating uni versally." Most people are accus- toned to think of him as still a child, but, as this picture shows, he is now fully developed into manhood, being about eighteen years old.
