'ear Over 200 Ara, HOW Many people, we wonder, even amen e Lendoners, born arid bred, ere as much. es aware Of the c,existence of .'`Chelsea Physic Gar - teen," and how many of those who know the place have any knowledge of its. intereeting history? asks the $t, James' eletzetto. • The Physic Garden of Chelsea has mover been open to the peblic, and Sew persons, therefore, have any Wee how capacious aro the dimen- shins of this open spaee in one of the most populous districts of London, what a wealth of trees, shrubs and plants it contains. There is R. cedar theee more than 200 •years old, the last survivor of four that were planted in 1688, near the river's bank. The history of the garden is connected with two on whoee names are recorded in the street nomenclea ture of Chelsea and its neighbor-. hood, Cheyne Row, farnous in mod-. ern taxies as the home of Thomas Carlyle, and 'Oheyne Walk, where many rnen distingeiehed in politics, art and titerature heve lived, are the monument of Mr. Charles Cheyne, Who in 1673 granted a leaee for 61 years of the site of the Physic Gar- den. to the Ap.othecaries' Society at tui annual rent of 45. In the fol- nDwing year the wall round the gar- den was built and by 1676 the gar- den itself was in existence, as is preyed by the records of the society. As a botanical garden it had acquir- ed sufficient reputation as early as 1682, to attract the Professor o Botany cf Leyden University, who visited it in that year and- propose( an exchange of Seed and plants—the first instance probably of a system of such exchanges which now pre- vails among the botanical collections of all the world. In • the present year the Curator of the Physic Gar den has received seeds from 31 other. botanical gardens in EUROPE AND—AMERICA. In 1697 an extension of the lease of the garden for a further period of • 00 years was obtained from Lord Cheyne, as the lessor had then be- come. But early` in the eighteenth century the ownership of the lnamor of Chelsea, passed from the Cheyne family to the second of the famous men referred to above, namely, Dr. Hans Sloane, whose memory is kept alive if not green by Sloane street and Hans Place. This fananus physi- cian was born in Irele.nd in. the gear of the Restoratiot and studied medi- cine in Londen, Paris, and Mont- • pellier, where he began to collect plants to whielf:he 'added many tro- pical 'specimens .when be visited Jae arnica 1687. Two :Years earlier he had become a. fellow of the Roeral Sneiety, of which he was president in • 1727, in . succession to Sir Isaae Newton. Dr. Hans Sroane was inade physician to Georgeela and was created a baronet. He died in 1758 at the ripe age of 98, when his library and colleetions were purchas- ed by the nation for 220,000, and became the foundation of the British Museum, One of his daughters mar- ried Charles, second Baron Cadogan, a eunion, which led to the Maeor of Obelees, being now the property of the Viceroy of Ireland, who to -day opens the garden which his famous ancestor conveyed to the Apothe- caries' Society in 1722. The deed which placed the soeiety in possession of the Physic Garden subject to a rent charge of £5 pay - •able to the. heirs of Sir Hans Sloane, is a quaintly worded docu- • ment. It states • that the transfer was "to the end that the garden might be continued, as. a Physie G-ar- •.den, and for enabling the society to Maintain the garden for the manifest- • ation ..of . the power, wisdom and glory of God in the works of crea- tion; and that the apprentices of the society and other's. naight better dis- tinguish food and useful plants -from those that bear resemblance to them and yet are htertfial." It wes made a condition of. the -grant that the Apothecaries' Society Should yearly render to the Royal Society "fifty specimens of distinct plants well dried • and preser•ved, , which had grown -in the garden that year" -- a condition that was observed throughout THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. Throughout the eighteenth century the Physic Garden under the care of the Apothecaries' Society well serv- • ed the ptirpose for which it was ee- • tablished. In 1782 considerable sums ivere spent in erecting glass houses and' in the following year the • niontanent to Sir Hans, Sloane, - by • Alicbael Rysbrach, which now stands in the Garden, was placed there by the society in gratitude to the groat benefactor. It was in the same year that the Physic Garden was hon- ored by a visit of the illustrious Linnaeus, who records in his diary • that he had been pernaitted to col- • lect many plants there, But with the development of mod - 11111K ern medicine the nineteenth cen- tury the 'usefulness of the Chelsea. Physic Garden for its original pur- • pose began to. decline and the Apo- • iheceries' Society a few years ago • applied to the Charity' Commissioners • for a sehome enabling them to re- • Bnquish the trust. It was Suggest- ' • ed that the Garden might be main- ' tained fee the future by the erreits- • ery for the benefit of the Students of • the Roeal College of Science at •. South Kensington; and, after inquiry into the matter, which satisfied the • Treasuey that the Garen. was still • suitable for botanical collections, an • arrasigement was collie to With the • trustee's of the London Parochial Charitiee who agreed to provide • £600 per annum. while the Treasury • Should fled £150.

For centuries the site has been 5 voted to the confinement of aquae als. The originel New Gate of tb city of London, built probably i the Werth century,. was constructed ' with prison cells in ts flanking 1 walls; but the first, separate Newgate prison was built in the thne of one of the Norman kings, either Henry 1. or Stephen, and was designed. for the incarceration of offenders againe the law in London ane the eounty o _ Middlesex. There is evidence the it Was a (gamin deb,. the home o disease and misery. A writer in th year 1419 referred • to it as "th heynouse gaol of Newgate," and Si Richerd 11, ttengten, the famou Lord Afayor, whose history has fur embed the nursery. legends of Dice Whittington and his cat, bequeathe money in his will for its improve - *merit: It continued. to serve • it purpose, and witnessed the wretchec lives and 'deaths of ehousands o victims for nearly seven eenturies. The present prison, whose destine: tion has now begun, is of compare tively recent date. It was in cours of construction in 1780 close to th mite of the old building when • th latter was burned • by. the ."No Popery" rioters -led' by the notorious Lord George -Gordon. Part of th new building was demolished' witl the old. • The damage .was mad good and the new jail completed' 1788. The, story at tile Gordon, riot is Well known. The -wild PrOtestan mob burnt not only Newgate prison but also tbe Fleet prison, the Mar shoesea, the King's Bench prison and two others, liberateig the pies oners and debtors' who were immured in all. From the dark collie of olc Newgate criminals emerged pale and 'terrified dragging the fetters from which they could not free themselves and wondering what fete was in storeforthem. Many. of them were seized by •their deliberators and ter- ried off in, triumph on horses; but for several of them liberty was short lived and they were retaken by the officers of, the . • The easy success of the rioters on this occasion thoroughly scared the authorities and the 'governore of the Bank of Englantl. Measures were at once taken to prevent such. tri- umphal of mob rule in future, and from that time dates the custom of mounting every night a company of the Foot Guards to protect the vaults and offices of the bank. 'The nightly march • of thie -armed vetted td take up its duties. in, Threadneedle street is still ono of the familial, sights of the city of Loniien. • Upon ehe new .prison descended the evil reputation which. bad clung • to ,its predecessor Le.ceetee of weetch- edite`ie'nina..'didaes. Prisoners who code' control money were allowed to buy the use of a bed and some food and clothing at exorbitant prices from the jailer; but the luck of the penniless prisoner was calamitous ill deed. • HERDED LIKE ANIMALS. half-clad and half-starved, the poor wretches existed in misery • until, as was often ethe case, the deadly jail fever ended their sufferings. In- deed, condemnation to a long term of imprisonmeet in New -gate jell was a.- death sentence, compared with which that of committal to the gal- lows was merciful. In the ravages of the Meer the innocent victim of an enemy's infamously employed power was often brought to death alongside the , vilest criminal which the citer sheltered. The disease was a leveller of all helium distinctions. Lord George Gordon, while under- going sentence for the treason which culminated in the destruction of the old prison, died in the new one from jail fever. Not many' years before e jail 'delivery spread the disease from the prisoners to the collet he - fore whom they Were tried,. and the Loed Mayor, two judges who sat be- side him on the ;Jewel, and sixty other persons took the infection and cilicii.• Newgate John 1.-IPWard and Mrs Fry spent some of their most earnest 1 abors amid scones, whi ch oldeinith in his "Vicar, of Wakefield," deserib- ed with tie much. vividness as re- gard for a sense of deeency in his readere allowed, The- efforts of these ple an thro pi sts w ere only painially and tardily rewa,rded.

This court is inseparably aseociated with New- gate. The coert • house shared the destreetion ef the prison by the "No Popery" rioters and was subse- quently rebuilt and enlarged. The "Press Yard" within the pre- cincts of the court obtained ite name from the fact that there tor- ture was applied to unwilling pris- oners to compel them to plead to the bar, The rack was only.one of the means of pressure thus exerted. The latest recorded instance of the torture of a Prisoner at the • Old Bailey was in 1731. When in 1788 'Tyburn ceased to be the place fer the public execution of criminals the street in front of the Old Bailey was used for the purpose. Hero was reared a gallows with three • cross 'beams to accomo- date Y•• , s THREE • ROWS OF VICTIMS, e and it is recorded that between Februmar and December, 1765, 96 condemned prisoners were, hanged on these beams by the "new drep," 0- which was considered an advance - upon. the old method of 'drawing away from beneath the convicts' 11 feet the • cart - on which he stood while the rope was adjusted ' about his neck.

WHY WOOL 13 30 011EAF SHODDY IN • BRITISH AND AMERICA_N WOOLENS., Mr- Alfred Mansell, of Shrews- bury, Eng., Tells of the • Tricks el the Trade. • Shoddy is the great feature in the trade .of one of the loading tents of the Heavy Woolen District of York- shire, and it is well known that the miles do turn out an enormous Weight of goods, the material being composed mostly of shoddy, cotton and the like. Sixteenpence to 'eigla teenpence per yard (broad width), is the price of these so-called woolen goods, and plenty of ,attrective fab- rics are made at less. • It is also stated that Scotch mane electurers of tweeds, who hitherto .used no shoddy, have had to resort te its use in order to compete with the composition of simrilaarticles largely composed of shoddy produc- ed in SOVOTal Yorkshire towns and elsewhere. The manefaeture of artificial Wools—arid it is somewhat difficult to enderstaad tbe ,designation — is said to he a large industry supplying imentifacturers with a cheap eubsti• tete for the real article. .„ in speaking of the trade of an- other town in the Heavy Woolen Dis- trict, the Yorkshire Observer says it is noted for • its classical cloths, cheap dress meltons, dyed in classi- cal shades, :which find their cheap markets M Greece and the Levantine ports. lf all goes well there is a great- future for these' goods. The twills. and serges produced here are in:great favor with wholesale cloth- iers, ad, combined with an export demand, a steady trade results the whole year round, Into the com- position of the higher ,grades a per- centage of wool enters, but it is THE CHEAP COSTTJMES which adorn windows of many man tie shops are made in this locality Tweeds and mantle cloths from is 8c1. per yard, form another importan branch, and are made largel throughout this . neighborhood Speaking of military and polic clothes, "strength being the test, there is little room for mango o shoddy, and even the tender WOO caused by the Australian. drought i not, admissible. A well-known Yorkshire firm r plying to an enquiry on the subjec states: "There is so much mixin done nowadays. to .bring goods in a such low prices, that it takes a ver geed.

In 'tbe Yorkshire Post's Annua Trade Review for December 7th 1901, a, eloth is spoken o Which ' sells at is, • 15. per yard which is composed of all !shoddy but is classed as woolen goods. The Hon. Geo. W. Wallace.

Cuie All the Ills of Little Babies I thoreughly agree with his deduc- tion, and also in his statement that the adulterated cloth ban neither the wear nor the warmth of honest, wool - le goods. Mr. Wallace continues by teeing that an expert witness be - ore the Ways and Means Committee of the Fifty-fourth Congress, testi- ed that the first-class' large worst - • miles of the United States had ut in the French and German pro- ess ley which short -wool fibres could e used. This is a fact which beaks for itself. Quoting further rom the same • source, an English orrespoodent of an American ,pa- er writes: "I give designs and par- iculara for two most excellent loths, The worsted panting will nake a cloth particularly 'adapted the American taste, and it, can be adovery well on a eotton-backed loth and mungo filling." Again a, rade journal in a technical article ays: "The proper finishing of low - rade face goods requires great skill ndcare, as generally' such goods ontain a large PERCENTAGE OF COTTON n both Warp and filling, the amount 1 wool being only sufficient to feral face to cover the cotton, and. it is einem of the beet quality." , Quoting' Mr. Mulhaser, the greatest tan ufacturer of shoddies in the nited States, Mr, Wallace gives the initial consumption of shoddy is he United States at 40,000,000 ounce% displacing 190,000,000 °uncle of woe'. The National Life toele Association of Ainevica puts 1.0 figures for 1.000 as follows: (and es 1 presume refers to the U.

Very Interesting Personal Ex- • perience Which Contains Some Good Advice for Others Whose Lives May Be Threatened. Lovett, Ont., Aug. 25.—(Specia1)— Every num, ,woman and child for miles around knows Kr. C. A. Har- ries, the genial Postmaster at Lovett. Mr. H,arria is a, hale old gentleman 75 years of age, and consideringhit advanced years is. remarkably well preserved, strong and healthy. But he was not always se. Five or six years ego he was at tke point of death, being fearfully run down and a complete wreck with Bright's Disease. He was so low that no one ever dreciint that he could pull through, and yet he is alive and well to -day. This is a statement of the case in Mr. Harries' own words :— "In 1897 I was at the point of death with Bright's Disease, and was. a complete wreck. I could not even geese myself or turn in my bed, but now 1 am•a well man, and I attribute it all to Dodd's. Kidney "I am 75 years old, and for a man of my years I feel quite strong and healthy. I consider Dodd' s Kid- ney Pills a good medicine to take in the Spring, as' I have found it a great blood purifier. ' "As a Postmaster 1 come in con- tact with a great many people, and I know of my personal knowledge that a great many in this country are using Dodd's Kidney Pills with the .best results." Such evidence should be most con- vincing to any who may still doubt that Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure Bright's Disease. The honest, earnest, straightfore Ward testimony' of such reputable people certainly deserves 1 he con- fidence of everyone. If Dadcre Kidney Pills can and do cure Bright's Disease, which is the r very worst form of Kidney Trouble, they certainly will cure any of the lesser forme.
