ENGLISH INNKEEPERS,

Bald te Be Mainly Koors Whe Treat Pa trons as Intruders,

If your pocketbook allows or fate or the desire to see the country compels you to remain in England, there are parts where you can ride on your with great satisfaction and at great ex- pense. Nothing could be more beautiful than the midlands, lovelier than the counties that surround Lendon, but westward go no farther than Bristol or Truro, northward than Chester, avoid- ing Manchester—that is, unless you mean to go still farther north into Scot- land, which at times will repay your enterprise. The southwest is largely to be avoided. Cornwall and Devon have the worst roads in civilized Europe—in fact, the roads and inns explain that the country is not and never has been civilized. In the imns you are often treated as an intruder, and sometimes cheated in a fashion that would bring a blush to the cheek of a Swiss landlord, for the emptiness of the larder the bill makes up in lavishness. There is hard- ly anything to eat save cream, but for that and salt bacon and ancient eggs you are asked to pay as much as for a good dinner at the Cafe Royal. “The inn- keepers are mainly boors.

As for the roads, they go straight to the top of all the hills, as uncompro- misingly asthe roads of Bohemia, then drop down the other side andare unrid- | able in beth directions When not climbing precipitately, they lie buried at the bottom of a ditch. They are shadeless and uninteresting, rarely ap- proaching the seacoast or passing near anything that is worth looking at, and yet we know Englishmen who are pro- foundly impressed with the belief that they are the best in England, and there- fore in the world. The roads, inns and innkeepers of Scotland are in every way better, but the fact that fhe average Eriton spends his holiday on the conti- nent when he can proves not only that he wants to get there, but also that he is driven from his own country by the : shortsightedness of the people who keep its inus and look after its roads.—Q\Mir. and Mrs. Pennell in Fortnightly Review.

ANCIENT MEDICAL METHODS

wheel -

The Menner of Doctors’ Consultations In the Fourteenth Century.

Coming to Mondeville’s exposition of the method of holding a discussion, we find his description almosta story of what might take place today. ‘‘First,’’ he says, ‘‘we should inquire into the nature of the disease, examining care- fully and feeling, because the diagnosis is made by touching with the hand and observing with the eye. All the consult- ants engage in turn in the examination. Then, if the case demands it, they make anew examination all together, point- ing out to one another the symptoms of disease and the special or remarkable features either in the patient or the dis- ease. Then one of them, the highest in rank, says to the patient, ‘sir, we per- ceive very clearly what is the matter with you, and you ought to have full confidence in us and be glad that there are so many of us here and such doctors— enough for a king—and to believe that the youngest of us is competent to pre- scribe and on your treatment and bring it toa good result.’ Then he in- terrogates the patient about the circum- stances of his attack, ‘Sir, do not be displeased or take it ill, but when did your illness begin?’ following this with many other questions, the answers to which are recorded as indications fur- nished by the patient.

“When all the questions called for by the case have beem asked, the con- sultants retire to another room, where they will be alone, for in all consulta- tions the masters dispute with one an- oth«r in order the better to discuss the tru:2, and sometimes they come to a pass in the heat of discussion which wor ld cause strangers witnessing their proceeding to suppose there wore discord and strife among them. This is some- times the case. ''—‘‘Fourteenth Century Doctors,’’ by M. E. Nicaise, in Popular Science Monthly.

Mozart’s Method,

Mozart’s method of composition was such as could only have been pursued by a child of genius. He would rise early, eat a hearty breakfast and then stroll for several hours in a forest near his home, where, inspired by nature’s beauties, heavenly melodies came troop- ing through his brain. / Repairing to his cottage, he would summon his wife, a very witty woman, and bid her tell him stories. He would then mount his high stool and proceed to commit these inspirations to paper, his wife telling him jokes and funny stories while he wrote. These he enjoyed immensely, frequently interrupting her with hearty bursts of laughter and sometimes even failing from the stool and rolling on the floor. But amid all this hilarity and aproar the flow of music which was to move the world went steadily on. His productions were wrought without the least thought or study, but came almost unbidden ‘‘direct from heaven.’’ Like Shakespeare, he was purely the creature of inspiration, a genius of the highest order.—C. C. Hieatt in Housekeeper.

Remote Ancestry.

‘It has long been supposed,’’ says The Outlook, ‘‘that the most startling genealogical claim is that of the negus of Abyssinia, who insists that his de- scent has been in a straight line from the union of Solomon with the queen of Sheba, but some one has discovered a noble family in France, the counts of Noe, who not only claim Noah as their remote ancestor, but show on their fam- ily blazon that veteran seaman in the ark. 9

Laying Bricks,

A bricklayer can lay about 1,500 or 1,600 bricks in a day of 10 hours where the joints are left rough, about 1,000 per day when both faces have to be worked fair and not more than 500 a day when carefully jointed and faced with picked bricks of a uniform colar. —Exchange.

The Key of Sneridan’s Success,

General Horace Porter, in his ‘‘Cam- paigning With Grant,’’ in The Century, says, after describing the battle of Five Forks:

Sheridan had that day fought one of the most interesting tactical battles of the war, admirable in conception, bril- liant in execution, strikingly dramatic in its incidents and productive of ex- tremely important results.

I said to him, ‘‘It seems to me that you have exposed yourself today in a manner hardly justifiable on the part of a commander of such an important movement.’’ His reply gave what seems to be the true key to his uniform suc- cess on the field, ‘‘I have never in my life taken a command into battle and had the slightest desire to come out alive unless I won.’’

Facing the Music.

The spirit of this simile is used by John Bunyan in the meditation ‘‘Of the Horse and Dram,” in his ‘‘Bodk For Boys and Girls; or, Country Rhymes For Children,’’ published in 1686. Of the genuine Christian he says, inter alia: Let drummers beet the charge or what they

will, They ’11 nose them, face them, keep their places

still. —Notes and Queries. In some parts of South Africa much damage is done by baboons, which go in large marauding parties to rob gar dens. ‘

round a corner of the station and called to |

Joey and Maggie evidently knew what ma was when she ‘‘got started,’’ for they started homeward as fast as their bare lit- tle feet would carry them.—Youth’s Com- panion.

‘TELLS A LONG STORY.

A Granite Monument at Antietam Iv- calla a Family History.

Major Kingsbury had a daughter as well as the son who fell at Antictai. The daughter married Simon Boliv:r Buckner of Kentucky some time before the war. When Geiteral Buckner decided to go with the Confederacy, the danger of confiscation of his wife’s interest in the Chicago egtate confronted hiin. A family council resulted in the transfer of Mrs. Buckner’s property to her brother. Colonel Kingsbury fell in battle with- out leaving a will to protect his sister's inheritance. When the war @losed, the

{ return of Mrs. Buckner’s interest in her ; father’s estate was asked forin t«half

of her children. Mrs. Kingspury de- clined to conceds it. She claimed all that had been left in her husband’s name for her son and herself. Litiga- tion followed and dragged along for years. Major Kingsbury’s 40 acres were in the heart of Chicago when the fire occurred.

In the years immediately following the war Washington had few women more talked about than the beautiful Mrs. Becky Jones and Mrs. Kingsbury, the nieces of an ex-presi- dent of the United States. Mrs. Kings- bury became the wife of Gallatin Law- rence, son of one of the wealthiest menufacturers in Rhode Islané. Galla- tin Lawrence had chosen a diplomatic career. He was sent to Costa Rica as minister. When he came back, society at the capita) had a great sensation over the talk of a duel between Minister Lawrence and Captain von der Hass of the Belgian legation because of the cxp- tain’s attentions to the beautiful Mrs. Lawrence. The Belgian sailed for Eu- rope. Sodid Mrs. Lawence. Gallatin La-wrence followed. There was a duel and then a divorce case. Von der Hass went to Egypt. Mrs. Lawrence went there too. Gallatin Lawrence retc>ned to the States.

The son of Colonel Kingsbury was sent to Oaford. His inheritance was cut in two by a decision restoring to her heirs Mrs. Buckner’s share in the 40 acres. One day young Kingsbury came home from Oxford, bringing 4 college friend. Between the English student and Mrs. Lawrence an attachment quickly developed. Mrs. Lawrence was twice the age of her son’s chum. She married him and is, or was the last that friends in this country learned, living with him abroad. Kingsbury married a Levantine, and he, too, isin a foreign country. The fortune acquired through the Chicago investment has been much reduced. Mrs. Becky Jones, after a long career in Washington, traveled cxten- sively and settled in Canada, where she is still living, by all accounts. ‘This is the complicated sequel, briefly told, of the events which the granite monument above the stone bridge at An:ietar commemorates. —St. Louis Globe-Lemo- crat.

The African Piano,

Among the musical instruments nsed on the Congo we notice the Jouz arc short drum. Some drums are usd to beat the time of the dance. Some other drums are used as telephones for the transmission of messages to neighbor- ing villages. The stringed instrvipents represent the African harp, The ivory horns are used for the convocation cof popular assemblies. The double twill is used to call the attention of the people to some proclamation of-the chiet. The Africans everywhere are yery musical, but their music dues not always suit European taste.

The African dance is not always in- dulged in for amusement alone. Danc- ing enters into some of the most solemn ceremonies, as, for instance, the in- auguration of anew king. Thu the chief elect of the tribe dances very gravely before the assembled eldcra avd the people.

The madimba had been calicd the African piano. It is made of calabashes of graded sizes, which are surm«ounted by boards, of graded sizes also, «!!1 be- ing attached to a semicircular frame. Each board represents a note or half tone anc emits its appointed sound when struck by one of the two robber balls at the ends of two sticks, which are cleverly handjed by tke musician. While almost every native can beat the drum or play some of the minor musical instruments, the playing of the madim- ba is an art which only a few special- iets learn, They must be paid for play- ing at festivities or ceremonies, and their art supports them, either partly ra entirely.—Journal of American Folk
