That they had saddles' .of some sort, there is no doubt, but they- were en- tirely -unlike, ours.- They were cloths either of a single piece woventhick likea carpet, or were doubled and even; quadrupled, and sometimes wad- ded.

The •part of the great public that still -"dearly loves as lord" loves him with lees humble .and un- questioning affection than of old and takes him far less' seriously. But even in early Victorian days there was one stronghold, at once' aristo- cratic and democratic, that notitle could overawe, In the great English ptbiic schools it was -immaterial who war lord. and who was cosmnoner, but Most important who 'was fag and who Was fag master. In some recent reminiscences an old Harovian has amusingly described a cricket' match at which a very great and also a very pompous old lady, a, marchioness bearing a, historic- title, was present to See ,her grandson, a dburtesy'lord, play, in the eleven, Ile was a jolly, orthnaty, red-headed, freckled youngster, unpretenttoiis his comrades would have. made 'hind most unhappy..11''he had beene otherwise and' en the team.

The tall youth did not mpve a muscle, Instead he called to another fag near by, "Go tell ginger, that the Marchioness of P— warnte to see him, will you?" ' A little'later Ginger came hurrying along obediently in response to the summons, but for a salbinent the in- dignant marchioness could hardly mas- ter a smile for him. '•Her face was tall frozen in the awful look with which she had striven to:chasten the impertinent youth who had ;declined toexecute her commission personally and pre,samecla to can a viscount Gin- ger!. But; being a fag master, and, therefore en the Iiarrow cricket field a much more important person, than Viscount, count or marchioness. the tall youth remained uncbastened and sufficient in iiia dignity.

As l a means :.of staking ' money in spare toile, nothingOver paid me bet- ter than weaving rugs and carpets, It. has been nearly ten years since I did, any weaving,, but. I, see no reason why this work shouldn't pay well for farm women. to -day. My loom was an old home-made One, and had done service for several gen- erations of people when it came to, me. It. -was -harder to operate, than the lighter commercial looms on the mar- ket now, but it did splendid work The charge for weaving., was 15 cents a yard fpr carpet a yard wide. This charge would be higher now. The ragsand warp were, furnished • by the one baying the work done, of course., The work was glnck during the sum- mer months, mainly because I would not take much work; I had to take care of my garden and chickens then. I always had more than I could de in, the winter and early spring. The, nice thing about the work is that you can use a few minutes, now aiid then; .that is, use spare time whenever : you have it. if dinner is ready, and the men are late coming from the field --and you know there isn't much you can do then -just put in those few minutes at the loom. I used to turn out about 8.0..yards .a week; some weeps I would weave more and some a little bit less, i am still using in my bedrooms some of the rugs I wove ten years ago, and they aro in good shape yet, These were made of the best of rags, and I did the best job on them that I knew how to do. • The only times I didn't like weaving were when I would get a poor lot of warp, or 0 poor lot of rags. Once in a while a customer would briatg rags that were so- rotten they, 'wouldn't hold together. I was, hot very particular about keeping sueh'a customer; luck- ily such customers- were few. I think if; I were in the same p051 - tion again -it larnuly of children to bring up, and not much income -I should go to weaving again.. -Mrs. C. L.
