English Eeverence for the Mace
The object called a mace and the ston
that is set by it may be considered
as conspicuous among the curiosities o'
public life in England. The Sworda o!
Justice and of Mercy, the Scepter, the
Orb, the Crown itself, are all easily
comprehensible symbols of royal jus
tice or royal authority and prerogative.
But, why a mace should be held to be
and jealously preserved as an emblem
of corporate jurisdiction and sway has
puzzled many of the longest-headed
students of the past, and may equally
perplex those of the present day. What
is a mace? It was originally a weapon
of war, and one of a very formidable
nature, which was used in European
warfare as late as the sixteenth century.
The weapon, however, from which our
parliamentary, municipal and academ
ical maces sprang was, without doubt,
a staff of wood about five feet long, with
a heavy metal head frequently in the
form of a spiked bat. It was a favorite
instrument with medireval priests of a
bellicosejturn of mind; for, although a
canon of the church specially forbade
to clerics the use of the sword, nothing
was said to prevent an ecclesiastical
person, when of militant mood, from
smiting his antagonist over the sconce
with his iron-headed cudgel. But when
and why the mace of civil and legisla
tive life lost its offensive spikes and be
came an ornamented eta IT of silver or
gilded copper to be borne befor mag
istrates and other persons in authority
has never been with precision ascer
tained. It is sufficiently demonstrated
that the normal use of a niaoe was to
knock somebody down with it. The
Italian for mace is "mazza," and its
function is significantly pointed out in
the verb "ammazzure," to fell or
"mace" any one. It was with the mace
which hung at his saddle-bow that Wal
worth, Lord Mayor of London, hit Wat
Tyler over the mazzard in Smithfield,
after which the cautious Fishmonger,
dismounting, dispatched the prostrate
rebel with his dagger. From this historic
fact the deduction has been made that,
as there was not room in the city
escutcheon for a mace as well as a dag
ger, to the poniard only was given her
aldic distinction, while the mace was
ever thereafter carried by one of the
officers of the Lord Mayor's household,
not only as an emblem of authority, but
as a memorial of Walworth's prowess
against the seditious Tyler. This as
sumption, however, is not borne out by
the circumstance that at least a century
before the time of our Richard II. Con
tinental Kings and Princes were not
only preceded but surrounded by mace
bearers, and that the reason given for
their being attended by such a special
guard was the widely spread fear of the
assassins dispatched from Syria by the
Old Man of the Mountain to murder
conspicuous Franks who had been
marked down for destruction. When
the sect of the assassins died out the
military mace-bearer as guards to
crowned heads were superseded by hal
berdiers, of whom we may see the mod
ern survivals in' our quaintly clad Beef
heaters and Tower Wardens, and in the
'partisan-bearing Royal Bod3--guard,
formerly known as 'Gentlemen-at-arms"
and "Gentlemen Pensioners;"
while, instead of the mace-bearers who
formerly accompanied the J udges when
. ridinarthe circuit, they were escorted by
' "javelin men," officers who still form a
part ol a weu-oraerea juuiciai cor
tece on its entrance to an assize town.
and for neglecting to provide a sufficient
contingent of such javelin men a High
Sheriff has within our own generation
I been heavily fined by a Judge. As
for the mace, the last vestige of it as a
Imilitant weapen was observable in the
long staves at tne ena 01 wnicn iron or
leaden balls armed with spikes were
suspended, which were carried until
lato in the last century by the pioneer
company of the train bands or city mili
tia. It is curious to note that the older
of the two eisrantic figures in Guildhall,
erroneously called Gog and Magog, in
stead of Gomagag ana Corinseus, which
'were carved in the reign of Queen Anne,
carries a staff with a spikedball sus
pended from a chain, precisely answer
ing to the description of the modified
kind of maces formerly borne by traiiv
band pioneers. London Telegraph.
An Indian Potlatch.
Among other islands of the Sound,
and about ten miles north of Olympia,
lies Squaxion Island. It is an Indian
name and Indian reserve, and the In
dians hold in reserve whatever resource!
'it may contain. It is a sterile spot, but
in that respect does not differ much
'from the surrounding country. The fir
forest grows as green; the fern and
"salal'" slopes reach down to the gray
beach here just as they do on all the
surrounding shores. Here are the same
low bluffs of clay and conglomerate that
you see on the shores of the islands
south and the islands north, and the
salt-water inlets westward. Long, nar
row arms of the sound are those inlets
arms reaching far out into the green
wilderness of woods; inlets deep and
.narrow, into which the tide rushes
twice a day. Eastward lies the sound,
with more clay-colored bluffs on it
farther shore. Eastward, sixty miles
away, rises Rainier's three-pointed
crown of creamy white, looming above
a ragged fringe of evergreen tree-tops.
; Here is a deserted village, an Indian
agency in days past; houses weather
worn and tumble-down, doorless and
windowless, with green weeds growing
througrh the doors. Yonder is Hope
Island, grave-shaped, and there is
Steamboat Island steamboat shaped
this tiny island being in reality an island
only at highwater, as a slender spit of
6 and links it the mainland, and . was
named by an ancient mariner of earlier
days, who averred that, like a steamboat
at "anchor, the island swunor around at
the turn of every tide, and especially
when the moon was full. And as being
full" was well known to be his normal
condition, his statement was never con
, tradicted.
I shall never forget the afternoon that
we made up a party to visit this same
Squaxion Island. It was an October
afternoon one of those keen, clear days
when , the west wind comes racing in
from the sea with life and freshness in
its every breath. The day was all that
could be desired at least it was all we
desired, for we were a party of eight,
including ladies and children, in a large
Whitehall boat. And when the large
sail swung and filled we Bwept off be
fore the west wind's breath like the sea
gulls gray that swung and wheeled into
our wake- We had long talked of see
ing an Indian potlatch, and at last we
were on the way. None of us had ever
seen one of those gatherings. A pot
latch is not a camp-meeting, a fair, nor
a Christmas, but a sort of combination
of all a sort of reunion and general
gathering, lasting sometimes for weeks;
. an occasion for the exchanging of big
presents and bigger speeches and many
(to their minds) fitting ceremonies. We
landed at last upon the southwest point
of the island. The potlatch house stood
upon the verge of the bluff above us. A
gentle slope Jed up to it from the east.
The first and last"thing we noticed was
a smell of smoke and fish which
wrapped us in an embrace of welcome.
VVhn th smoke burst drifted we saw a
long lino of canoes a fleet of the long,
graceful, clipper-like Chinook canoes
pulled high and dry upon the grass.

keen blue to fiery purple, then suddenly
change to a dismal ashy gray, while
the lemon-colored sky in the west
slowly darkened to pale amber, against
which the tree-tops on the distant shore
stood out in jetty blackness and flung
their shade in broken bits over the
steel-gray waste of waves that came
climbing up and on. There were seri
ous faces as we looked across the dark
ening waters and proposed a return.
The sun had gone down, but the wind
had not- In fact, it seems to gain fresh
courage and howl the louder. The
waves flung themselves with a fiercer
swash against the low bluff anil along
the gray beach. The fur tree tops
swung "uneasily, and the branches
swa3'ed and waved a wilder farewell to
the day's last light. The fires in the
potlatch house, the fires in the little
tents, and the fires outdoors all gleamed
the brighter. The red flames danced
and shivered and flung their forked
tongues in the teeth of the wind, and
seemed to tremble and thrill to the tune
of the weird "Taman-a-mas" chant of
the Indian doctors, which, with its ac
companiment of the monotonous drum,
rang out with strange vividness on the
wavering wing of the storm and night.
In a fence corner, dimly seen by the
flickering light of the tire, lay an old
man. Half a dozen boards flung across
the angle of the fence and a fragment
of blanket about a yard square these
were his only shelter. And here he
was, aged and .toothless and sightless.
Here he lay alone and unheeded in the
midst of feasting and merry-making.
Now an then would some one stop to
listen and laugh at the low and incohe
rent mumblings. Oh, how pitiless, I
thought. Long tables in the potlatch
bouse were being set, where supper for
one hundred would be served up at
once. We had earnest invitations to
stay. But the wind grew louder and
we thought it best to make a start while
we Tnio-ht. And what a wet business
that homeward trip was. With two of
the strongest of our crew at the oars
our boat at times would hardly hold her
own. We were tossea ana lumoieu

we did not enjoy it? And thinking of
it now I seem to hear the chorus of
"Pull for the Shore" and "Life on the

A College Opening Fire Centuries Afro.
And now the great day arrived when
Wykeham's work was sufficiently com
pleted to allow of the first "seventy
faithful boys" to be received within its
walls. On March 28, 1393, all the good
folk of Winchester, both lay and cler
ical, assembled to witness the oponin
of the college and to see the little bun
of scholars, headed by their master,
come down from St. Giles' Hill,"' chant
ing psalms as tney entered into pos
session of their promised land. Since
that time both dress and fashion have
changed more than the stone walls, but
standing in the almost unaltered quad
rangle we can picture to ourselves the
fourteenth centuryjerowd who, partly
from curiosity, partly from admiration
of their bishop's work, would be press
ing forwardbn that spring day to share
in the proceedings the poor in their
rough untanned shoes, leathern
breeches (galluraskins as they were
called), and their smock frocks of rus
set or undyed wool; the richer citizens,
though clad much in the same fashion,
had finer material, while those in
longer dresses looked much like the
"blue-cbat" scholars of our own day.
Somewhat apart from the villeins and
tradespeople stood the knights and no
bles, decked in silk and velvet, their
coue hardie or tight-fitting vests (from
the sleeves or which hung long strips of
cloth) partly hidden by a brightly col
ored mantle fastened jauntily at the
shoulder. A few had hats with feathers
in them, that fashion having just come
in; others wore small hoods tied under
the chin and ornamented with jewels or
gold. Below their parti-colored hose
their very conspicuous long shoes were
noticeable, some with toes bending up
ward like the claws of a bird and
looped with chains of gold or silver to
the knees, sadly impeding the move
ment of their owners. English Illus
