AN UNHAPPY OLD WIZARD
It is not generally known that veni-
son warrants are sent to the ',Lord
Mayor of London. and Sheriffs by com-
mand of- the King twice a year. says
London Tit -Bets. In July warrants for
Lucks •are.issued arid in December for
dem In the year 1101 the King then
'reigning granted'. and 'eopfirrned by
charter that. "the citizens of leenden
shall have all. the rights and privileges
to 'the hunt in the royal demesnes as
well and as full as their ancestors had.'
' 'Eventually, however. • the citizens
were debarred from enjoying the chase
in the royal parks and as a solatium
it was ordered that the Lord Meyer
Of London and the SheritfssUld be
'supplied annualle with' so mealy deer
from the royal parks and forests. This
order was'issued ;sortie centuries ago,
and ever since the First Coitimiseion-
er of Works, has yearly sent the war-
rant for the venisem for the occupiers
of the Mansion House to the City_ Re-
naerebrancer. -
Another • Old custom- in association
'with Lotiden's telayorality is the pre-
senting of fruit by the Fruiters Com-
pany to the Lord Mayor and the Lady
Mayeress. The ceremony• appears to
have originated- in the fourteenth cen-
tury and at one .time was. a very pie-.
turesque affair. Now -a -days, however,
the presentation' of the fruit is taken as
a matter. -of oourse and without cere-
mony. -In ..days gone .by ,the master.
wardens and clerk of lee Fruiters Com-
paninttinded at the end of November
at the Guildhall and apprised the Lord
Mayor of the presentation informing
him that twelve bushels af apples of
varioul• kinds. were 6.0 the way from
Farringdon Market. Twelve men, car-
rying on their heads panniers' contain-
ing the apples. jieaded by the company's.
beadle in. official attire, then marched
up to the Guildhall and laid their of-
-fertngs before the Lard Mayor and Lady
Mayoress, each re ceivin,g. in. rreturn a
of
bottle wine.
The election of the Mayor of High
Wyoombe would not he considered roils
plete unless .he Were "weighed in.';
His wership, as well as every member
ot the corporation Is placed on- a pair
of gigantic scales and the result is en-
tered in a big -book kept for the pur-
pose. This custom is said to date back
fo—ftte reign of Edward. L
The Mayer of Plymouth t forced by
an old custom to visit at least once
during his year' of ()Mee the Lake. of
Burrater. When he - journeys to the
lake he is followed by 'all the members
of the corporaeion. Reachleg the .banks
the procession- forms up in two tines
and a couple of ancient goblets are
filled with water' from the lake and'
passed ,reund from mouth to mouth.
Te Mayor and corPoration drink to
the memory of Sir Francis Drake.- who

brought water to the town by means
Of a canal some twenty niiles in length.

Water the goblets are' filled with wine
and the Mayor, holding one at arm's
length, says: "May, the_ descendants of
him who gave us , water, never want
wine."
• A SERMON WHICH GRIPPED.
.
"Do sermons: grip?" is 'now the ques-
tion. It depends upon the preacher.
Those of a certain parson of the wilds
of whoth Bishop Potter tells .certainly,
grip. His vocation lies gracing the
mining camps, where he will take a
room over the local grog -shop, "round
up the boys,' and talk them into tears
and penitence. After one of ens ser-
mons he ran his eye over his rough
congregation,. -and, picking out the
greatest desperado of the lot, -announc-

end on my last visit to Aberdeen 1 dis-
covered that even the schoolboys have
returned to kilts. It has -become a recog-
nized article of evening '.dress, and,
wtrat is more strange still, many of the
yeting men of the betteretc-do classes
are learning to play the pier•es." In Lon-
don, too, there, is a growing demand fore
Highland evening dress outfits among
the large body of Scotsmen who belong
te the various national societies. The
Scottish evening dress is picturesque,
bet hag the disadvantage of being costly.
An outfit would be cheap at $150, the
average price,reinging !corn $200 to $225.
But in spite of this' and the proverbial
canniness..of Ahe Scot .the vogue is in-
creasing. Of course the King does riot
sport his Highland dress5in London. _

strikingly true with regard to Constipation.

end. But. combined with Egyptian Senna:Slip-

epee, while, as yet. perhaps, there was
no danger to tear; but he always hoped
that as she saw him oftener and knew
him better she might be led to confide
in him something of the mysterious his-
tory of that night in the Oat at Regent
Street; something which might throw
seine light upon the tragedy and explain
the attitude which she had taken up.
He fount her door open to him en
this occasion, and he was shown directly
into the room where she sat.
He could see that she was glad to see
him again, and the light in her eyes
found a response in his own, as she
gave him her hand for asecond; but it
touched him deeply to notice her face
resume its former sad expression as the
flush faded again from her cheek, and
to hear her sigh as she sank back into
her- 'chair and tock up the work which
she was engaged upon. , •
She had not spoken, except tc give
the ordinary salutation, but he felt that
her eyes had, almost in spite of herself,
asked him the question which was tither
mind. and lie replied to it as af the
words had indeed been said.' •
ai have no news yet, Miss Gaunt," he
said. "but it is early W expect that I
should. I fancyhowever, that before
king army have something to tell you,
und that something good. Meanwhile,
may I hope that all is well -with you?",
"Quite well, thank you." she replied.
"Mise Wrent, rny old 'governess. is
very kind in me. and I am very cornfert-
able. It k only ,the dreadful waiting,
waiting, which is. so hard to bear. If
only I could see my father sometimes, I
could have more patience.".
Gordon ;sighed. It was impcssible for
hire to reply satisfactorily to the half -
question, and he was silent for a -MO-
D:lent.
utcan only repeat- that I aan at your
service with all -My thoughts and ener-
gies," lee said at last. "and that I am
sere. as 1 have been ell along, that
•there Ls • some way out of all this
_tremble, eome wny which will leave you
free and hcppy again, with. pear mind at
peace."
?ilea Gaunt' looked up at aim. and at•
his tone her -
eyes titled • with leers.
"Thank you. Colonel Gordon." she said,
simply. "I ant sure if ht were in your
pewee to help us, you would do so. But, -
alas! it is not in your power. or in the
pr.wer of anyone to undo what has once
been done -but of what use to' talk
mere of it ? There is a week yet, a
whole long week," with -a sed -smile at
Ce-,rdon. "before—"
"Before I succeed in accomplishing a

Is soariethina to see you smile. You will

Miss Gauntahook her dark hea'd. "Ah,

I suppose. It is that one some-
times forgets earrew, ter a Moment,
hcwever great it may be, when one is

_Gordon leaned a little forward. "1,

"but am I sympathetic to you? You
know." he said, with a little 'smile, but
with an eagernees in. his lone which he
could not disguise, "sympathetic may

him; then' she closed her eyes swiftly as
if to avoid his ear glance. When she
raised- her long, lashes- "again the look
which Gordon had seen rising beneath

ceePrrd her self -command.. " •

quickly. °A gentleman to see you, sir,"
she said to Gordon. "He says there isn't
a moment to lose, and will you come et
woe? His name is Sterrett."
As she spoke a step sounded in the
passage. and the ex -corporal appeared
in the doorway. He gave a little glance
a: Miss Gaunt, and then came to Gor-
don's side.
"1 want you, see" he said. "We're no
time lc lose. •I *ent to your place, and
then came on here on chance. Can you
come at once?"
Gordon nodded and .turned to Miss
Gaunt, "1 will return as soon as possi-
ble," he said. "Forget my wretched
speech; it was. a Mistake, believe me,
that is all. Let me beg of you to be
patient and wait just a. little longer."
.And with a last look, he turned away
with Sterrett.
"What has happened ?" he asked. as
they reached the street, where he saw
that, Sterrett had a cab in waiting.
"They've got him in. a house down
near the docks; a pretty bad shop, and
wt may have some trouble toget him
out. , It was no good my . going by my-
self. for, you see, sir, if there should .be
a row, niy position's a funny one. So I
came for yod."
"And he is safea-unhurt?" • • _
"He's •ri bit knocked about. Jeff says.
11 was Jeff I heard it from. I could get
ten years any tune I chose to raise
II y little; Lifiger,.and Jeff knows it. So
he told me. But hes cut of it now, any-
way."
"But what do you think they mean to
dor asked Gordon, a.s they entered the
cab and drove away.
Sterrett shook his head: "Couldn't
say. sir; but it's a bad shop; and this
testier seems a pretty bad hat. Better
net leave him there longer than we can
help."
a•terrett ordered the cabman to, stope
after a leng drive throt.gh what seemed
to Gordon one of the worst parts of
I ondon, at . the corner of.: a dirty.
et/elling' street, from which could be
seen the masts and tunnels of the ship-
ing in the docks.
"It's a good step from here. yet." he
said; "but this is as•ne•ar asit would be
safe to take.a cab. Welt soon walk the
reel." - •

there are only a few. In some 'cases
only one person in the whole realm. is

which calls for separate classification.

accuracy and, also the capacity of the
1aeguage for exaot titles. One' in -an, for
instance, is set down • as Forstshutadien-

A considerable number come under the

There are also several who fall under the
title of Staat&schuldenza-hlungskassen.

climax of title, however, is reached in
the somewhat nunierous and' somewhat

A practical breeder tells how to wean
and mature the colt.
attempting to write. an article "-
on this spbjeet, we will give. briefly,
our own experience. •
The first question that arises is when e. ee'ea
or at what • age should the colt be ..-aaaia
weaned? That alt depends upon clr- • :»t
cuthstarices and conditions. We have
weaned colts from three to seven - •
months. If the nave is idle and herself
and col -t are doing likely, 'I would not • • •
wean until the colt is at least six .
months old, and I have let -them run
seven. If mare has arduous work and
ie thin -in -flesh. I would wean around - .
four months. It colt for some 'CUM •
or Other -18 not doing well. I woad
wean at two months; and -in same -
cases still youn_ger.

would Wenn quite- young and put on-
cows milk.- The colt may- at first re- . •
fuse to drink the rnilk; some do and
ethers drink at nest, offering._ It it re-
fueee to drink the milk I. would shill
iteawaa from water for a day or two
and it will soon learn not only to drink, •
but to relish the 'milk. Always add a
little -brawnsugar- to 'ooW's niiik.
No colt should start into winter thin
in flesh. 11 they do they are likely to -
coine out very thin and worth less than
when weaned. For we claim that thia
first winter determines largely the fate;
ct the colt. So -we always aim to have,
:our -belts fat - ani slieR by stablingt
time. We-o(ten have colts low in flesh, • -
at Weaning time, but .always aim to 7. -
