Says a writer: “ Sir Edward Herstlet, whose grandfather was a foreign service messenger in the days of George II., relates in his ‘Recollec tions of the Old Foreign Office’ that when he first entered the foreign office in 1840 he used to see the messengers’ carriages standing, with four horses attached, at the office door, ready to convey the mes sengers in uniform to Dover, the railway not having then been com pleted. Before the days of rail ways the king’s messengers trav eled either on horseback or in their own carriages, but it frequently happened that owing to the badness of the roads, which were often mere tracks, they had to he conveyed in the small carta of the country, oxen being employed where they could do the work better than horsea and peasants provided with lanterns be ing procured to lend assistance when the roads were obliterated by heavy falls of snow or by floods and mud. In those days the king’s mes sengers not infrequently faced and suffered death in their devotion to duty. “ To cross from Dover to Calais in an open boat when no packet cap- Aain could be induced to risk the passage in face of the wild seas was a not uncommon achievement. of king’s messengers in the time of George IV ., as much as £25 ($125) being sometimes paid to boatmen brave and daring enough to make the journey. Often on reaching Calais the boats were dashed to pieces, and the fitness or unfitness of the’ frail craft for the hazard- Ous undertaking may be judged by the amounts paid by the govern ment in compensation for the loss o f a boat, one claim being no more than $185- Then,, in addition to such risks and dangers, there would be sufferings from the fatigue and exhaustion from prolonged travel ing. Later on Louis Herstlet was for over four consecutive months making the journey from St. Pe tersburg to London, being in his saddle for fifty-two days on and off. “ On the occasion above referred to the large quantities o f ice afloat delayed the king’s messenger at Cuxhaven for four weeks, which, with the seven days taken in cross ing, made a total o f thirty-five days in getting from the continent to Great Yarmouth. A continuous journey of twenty-three days and nighta, with ita attendant fatigue and accidents, resulted in the death of a king’s messenger named Brown upon his arrival in St. Petersburg in 1820, and three years later an other succumbed to the hardships of a severe winter in Russia. In an other case the fatigue of a journey of thirteen days and nights induced a fatal attack of Asiatic cholera.” — Chicago News. An Egyptian Hair Raatarar.

The custom of Helgoland had sim plicity to recommend it. All the pastor required was a declaration signed by a magistrate to the effect that the parties were not prospec tive bigamists. When this affidavit was presented the pastor at once joined the applicants in matrimony.

Jewalera’ Dummy Claeka. The Jewelers’ Circular Weekly explains why the dummy clocks in front of jewelry stores all point to either the hour of 8:18 or 3:42. Through a story born of a vivid im agination it had long been accepted by many that all these clocks in dicate the hour of 8:20, the time it was said Abraham Lincoln waa as sassinated. This is wrong, says the trade organ. The clocks show one of the two hours mentioned be cause both are equidistant from the figure 12, thus dividing the dial into three parts, leaving a place for the jeweler’s name and another for the second hand.
