' Reward of Dutch Boys For 8avlng Amatardam'a Stock Exchange. Of tMe many quaint and curious cru torn, tradition and privileges prevail lug in UoIIhuI none U more extraordi nary than u cerium privilege tout ux been enjoyed by the boys of Aiuster dam for nearly 300 years. . At o fixed time each summer these boys gather by the hundreds In the great square culled the Dam. situated in the center of the city. Eai-n boy has a drum slung over hi shoulder. Facing this square Is the Stock" Ex , change, and oo the wvkIoii In ijues tion. Just as soon as the day's business is over, ns tunny of tbe boys as can crowd into the building. Tbey proceed to the Hour of the exchange, where, pursuant to this odd custom, they are permitted to march about, singing and beatlug uKn their drums. . i Tbe origin of this custom. It Is sold, j Is as follows: I One afternoon In the year 1022 a crowd of boys playing lu the Dam lost a ball in tbe canal that In those days skirted one side of the square One of tbe lads, while climbing lu among tbe piles on which tbe building stood, found Instead of bis ball a boat moored in a dark comer nud loaded with boxes of gunpowder This showed clearly enough, what was afterward ascer tained with certainty, the Intention of the Spanish conspirators to blow up the Stock Exchange while It was crowd-" ed, as it was every day, with tbe lead ing ciH7ns of the city. The boy who stumbled upon tbe gun powder at once hurried to the town au thorities with his news. The boatload of explosives was quietly sunk In the onnnl ami the Spanish plot thus frus trated. When the bursesses asked the boy what reward bp desired for the service he had rendered the town iie replied that so long as there was a stock ex change in Amsterdam the boys of th town would like1 to be permitted to make the floor of the exchange their playground during n certain part ot the year. Tbe request was granted, and so the custom survives. New ort Suu. . Nightcaps. For external application the nightcap is rarely seen It Is first mentioned during the time of the Tudors. In the inventory of Henry VIIl.'s wardrobe we come across the following Item; "A nlghtcape of black velvet embroider ed." No wonder that wltb such gear ing, as Shakespeare suggests, uneasy rests the head that wears a crown." Poor old Bishop Latimer' was not con j tent wltb one nigbtcap. Fox In his j "Book of Martyrs" describes him as) follows: "Tie held his but lu bis Dand. having a handkerchief on his bead and ' upou It a nightcap or two and a great ! cap, such ns townsnlen use. with broad flaps to button nuder bis cbln." They I evidently believed lu keeping their J beads warm in those days. I Fresh Fruit AND VEGETABLES BLACKCAP BER- .
