BRITISH CONSOLS.
Origin 4vnd History of Thia FMtuf f
English GocuritiM.
Almost all the debt ot England con
sists of the funded debt, so called, and
the groater pnrt of this Is made up of
"consols which Is an abbrerlntlon of
"consolidated stocks, " of which w
read every day In the papers, and the
price of consols Is the financial pulse
of Engtcnd.
Consols were created In 1752 by stat
ute 35 of George II., chapter 27. But
no scrap of paper ever represented a
consol until, to facilitate commerce, In
1870 a statute was passed allowing tbe
government to Iroue certificates to rep
resent them. The property that all the
world asked the price of every day was
unrepresented by any monetary securi
ties until 1870, and even now very few
certificates bare been Issued.
Now, this Is a consol, and' this Is Its
eraineui oau causeu cis name to oe en-
rolled on Its books as a creditor, from
whom it had received that amount
and to whom some day it might, if it
chose, repay It It need never do so.
but until It did It must pay him an an
nuity of 3 that Is, he received 8 per
cent on bis money as long as the gov
ernment chose to keep It but the gov
ernment could pay It back; at any
time it chose to do eo. This creditor
then Ofrned a consol tbat Is, be owned
such a debt from the government as
just dcecrlbed.
lr he wished to trausfer what rights

lhe rht to his 100 when.
if ever, the government chose to return
it, he could go to the Bank of England
with his transferee and receive the
purchase price from him, and the stock
would be transferred to the man pay
ing the consideration, and that man's
nnuie would be placed on tbe govern
ment's book In the place of the for
oier owner, and thereafter the trans
feree would receive the 3 a year and
the 100, If It wa ever paid back. But
no paper passed except the receipt for
the purchase money which was given
by tbo buyer and which the bank offi
cial checked with a red mark.
Those receipts were uot certlucutes
of owuuivhlp and were seldom pre
served, never except for purposes of
lilcuitticritiou. when the new owuer
went to draw Ms ttrst dividend. After
that they wore destroyed. It is true In

Bsllet Shoes.
Ballet shoes fit like a stocking. Tbey
are of leutUer, with a thin leather sole
about an inch, wide and with the up
pers sewed so that they come under

rubber heels, instep arch supports nor
any other of the foot supporting or
reforming devices which it re common
ly used by ovdluary mortnls. The toe
dancer desires a hard box too on ber
ballet shoes, but tbe ordinary dancer
seeks only shoes that will give perfect
freedom of movement of the joints and
muscles of the feet It Is a rule of
good dancers, a shoe man of experi
ence says, to wear shoes that will al
low for space between the toes. It is
point of good fit that all persons
should bee4, be says. High heels are
put on to stage shoes tor effect not to
promote good dancing. Many stage
shoes are made with short fore parts

BRITISH NAVY MYSTERY.
Traditions Regarding the Death of Sir
Cloudeaiey Shovsl.
Of tbe almost complete wreck of a
iquadron under Sir Cluudesley Shovel
ou the rocks of the Scllly Isles, togeth
er with tbe death of Its gallant com
mander, the greatest seaman of tbe
age, a number of curious traditions
are associated both with the events
leading up to tne catastrophe and tbe
fate of the celebrated admiral.
The outstanding feature of tbe catas
trophe is the mystery of Shovel's
death, which win probably never be
solved, and the latter turns upon the
admiral's emerald ring. One story goes
that the body was picked up on the
shore by a .soldier and his wife and
buried by them on Forth Helllck
sands. A spot Is still shown at Perth
Helllck as being the burial place of the
admiral, and, according to tradition,
grass has never grown upon it Subse
quently tbe identity of the oorpee was
discovered. The remains were exhum
ed and conveyed to London via Plym
outh, where tbey were embalmed. La
dy Shovel rewarded the soldier with a
pension for life and received from blm
the ring found on ber husband's finger.
Another story Is that Paxton, the
purser of the 'Arundel, discovered two
St Mary men quarreling over the pos
session of a ring. Be at once recog
nised it as Shovel's ring and Inquired
from which body It bad been taken,
and when tbat was found he knew
and claimed tbe body. Lastly, there Is
the startling narrative of foul play
vis, tbat many years after the wreck
an aged woman confessed to the par
ish minister on ber deathbed that ex
hausted with fatigue, one man who
had been washed ashore on a hatch
reached her hut and that she had mur
dered blm to secure tbe valuable prop
erty on his person. She then produced
a splendid emerald ring taken from
tbe finger of her victim and identified
as the gift of Lord Berkeley to Shovel.
Tbe responsibility for this story rests
upon tbe admiral's grandson, the Earl
of Romney. Modern research reports
rather in favor of the murder theory.
The ring was eventually recovered, and
altered into the form of a locket and
set with diamonds it ts a precious relic
of the Berkeley family.
The theory as to how It passed luto
the possession of the family of tbe
original donor is that Lady Shovel re
ceived It from the murderess, as stated,
and bequeathed It at her death to Lord
Berkeley. Several old works of refer
ence contain the baseless story tbat
Lady Shovel was aboard tbe Associa
tion and was drowned; along with her
husband. By the way. her ladyship's
ghost is supposed to walk at midnight
in the avenue of May place, Lmrtford,
Kent, once tbe home of the Shovels.

After the battles of Welssenburtr
and Worth, which he bad won, tho
crown prince, afterward Emperor
Frederick, wns saunteriug aloue one
evening past a barn occupied by :,a
party of Wurttemberg troops. Hear
ing something like a stump oratory
going on, 'the prince opened the door
and looked In. Every one rose. :'
Oh, sit dawn! I'm sorry to disturb.
I dare any there's room for me to do
the same," said the prince. "Pray,
who was making a speech?"
All eyes were turned on a sergeant,
whose very Intelligent countenance
looked, . however, sorely puzzled when
tbe commander in chief asked:
"And what were you bilking about?"
Quickly recovering his presence of
mind, tbe sergeant confessed:
Well, of course we were talking of
our victories, aud I was Just explain
ing to tnti-e young men how, four
years ago. If we had had you to lead
us, we would have made short work
of those confounded Prussians!"
