proved.

I WHEN FOOD WAS CHEAP I
1 -
! An English Writer Quote e Prices in
the Reign of Richard I.
Eight bushels of Wane for a bob!
Thirty-two pecks for a shilling!
Where? In Chearside. When? In
1191, In that year twenty seams of
beans were bought for twenty shil-
lings, says an English welter. A seam
was a load for a pack -home, and con-
sisted of eight. bushels. Those beans
were bought for the soldierho.
. went with King Richard the First to
:Jerusalem on the Third Crusade. I
And what did . Richard the Lion-
Heart and his courageous Crusaders
have toeat with their beans during 1
the voyage? Why pork, of course! i
Pork and beans. What price. the
pork? Ix:ell, eight hundred hogs
were bought, to be carried to .Terra -
10111 with the King, for $289. That
works out to a fraction over 33 cents'
per hog. So that in 1191 you could
"go the whole hog" for less than the
present price of one pound of bacon!
That wouldn't be buyiug "a Pig in a
poke," would it?
Meat at half a cent a pound, horse-
shoes at half a cant each, boots at 50
cents a pair. an acre of arable land
at a yearly rent of 12 eente, and a
ship for $180, were alio current prices
at that period. • •
But what about incomes? A cap -.t
tain of' a ship received $30 a year;
a sailor meactly half that amount; a
carpenter earned 6 cents a day: a
laboer got 4 cents a day; a woman 2
cents. and a boy 1 cent. .
So that half the Meekly wage of a
laborer would pay the year's rent of
an acre of ground. He could easily i
afford a pound -of meat a day. Ono
and a half week's wages would buy
a pig. Four week's wage% would buy
a pair of boots.
Let us now see how the king was
fixed financially. He wanted all the
money he could get to enable him
to join the Third.Crusade. He sold to
William the Lion his -Richard's -
right of superiority over the Crown
.of Scotland for $33,330. He sold the
Earldom of Durham to the Bishop of
Durham- for the same sum. He sold
the Chancellorship of England to the
Bishop of Ely for $15,000. And in
similar ways he made up a total of
$106,610.
On his way home from the war
Richard became a prisoner of the
Emperor of Germany, who demanded
a ransom of $500,000. To pay this
every man in England had to give a
quarter of his income.
Some income-tax that! But it was
paid. And Richard returned home.

THE BRITISH "SUPERSIMS'i
Admiralty Reveals Details of Craft
Equipped for 3,000 Mile Cruises.
The Admiralty has just permitted
to be made public the real story of
the submarine cruisers the British
successfully constructed at the time
the Germans were boasting of their
super-subrnarine.
The British craft have two funnels
and make twenty-four knots on the
surface under steam power. They
carry from eight to ten. torpedoe
tubes, two or three 4-inc11 guns, and
are. equipped also with internal com-
bustion motors for surface creasing.
The batteries for the under-ealkeiver
can be charged frem both the'etearn
and combustion engiees, and tin in-
genious scheme has beea devised for

SOME AMBITIOUS WILT S
Curious Bequests Left by Well -Mean-
ing Patriots.
A lieutenant who was lately killed'
in France, and had been a lawyer in
civil life, left £300 to the King,
"hunibiy requesting his Majesty to
apply the same to the reduction of
the national debt."
An Irishman who left over a hun-
dred thousand pounds to pay off the
town's debt had better hick, but as
he expressed absolute conviction of
the incapacity and idiocy of the pre-
sent town council he made it opera-
tive in 21 years!
Queen Victoria had some large lega-
des left to her for her private use, I
but the funniest was a "pet parrot"
by an old lady with 100 guineas per
annum for its keep! She made the
amusing condition that "Her Majesty
publicly exhibit it before the court
twice a year. to prove that the per-
son entrusted with its care has not
wrung its neck."
