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 when Mayor of Plymouth in 1581 brought water to the town by means Of a canal some twenty niiles in length. 'Alter each. person has- tasted the 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. .

WITien In Scotland the King is a regu- lar wearer of the kilt; so, too, hi the Prince of Wales. The general revival of the wearing of the kilt may therefore be due to the .forees of royal example. "l'wenty years ego," writes a c(orres- pendent to•the Times, "the kilt was prac- tically unknown in Aberdeen. It was indeedheld up to universal ridicule by the townsfolk. Ttuit has quite changed, 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. _ ••••• Mr: Kipling's Canadian Tour.

Naturteundoubtedly has a vegetable remedy to relieve every:ailment known to man, if physiciand can but find Nature's way to health. And this id strikingly true with regard to Constipation. The barlt of a certain tree in Californla--Cas. eara Sagmdr,--ofters a most excellent aid to this end. But. combined with Egyptian Senna:Slip- PerY Elm Bark.

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.
