Into which, "nt n private slpnal, the city fool suddenly leaped over the heads of the ustonlKhcd feasters, who were Instantly bespattered with this rich and savory mud." I'ndeterred, however, by this nasty liohavlor, the citizens not only nte plentifully of the .'ustiird. hut even took some home to their wives. Nor were the women of those dtiys backward In demanding ex pensive dainties for themselves, it seems, for an essayist of M01 sarcastic ally nsks: "Who will not admire our Moe dames of London, who must have cherries nt Lit shilllnKs it pound und peascods at ." shillings n peek? YonR rabbettes of u s'.mnne and chickens of an Inch?" Slnvt-K In ScnHmnl. Were there oihm slaves in Scotland? A volume on Scottish Industrial and social history in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries has some passages on the subject: "It shocks us very much to learn that the men, and even the women, wh't worked In the conl mines nt that time i. e., the eighteenth century In Scotland still continued to be, as of old, little better than slaves. By a law passed by the Scottish parliament In Hidi every man who once went to work In a coal lulue was bound to ln- l U ..'I M- I'- "- servant." If he tried to run away ho was tried and punished as a thief. If the land was sold on which the coal pit stood In which he worked he was sold with It like any of the machinery of the pit. In 17"." an act of parlia ment was passed which set free most of the pit workers, but It was not till the end of the century that tills form of shivery was quite abolished." Oilit Occnrroncf In the ltuntlnn Field On the afternoon of Fob. 8, 1704, tho hounds of his grace the lmke of Beau fort were In full cry. The run had beeu a long one. and they knew that the fox was almost spent. Suddenly the scent turned abruptly from the open, lending straight Into the garden of a cottage In the little village of Onstlo Coonibe. Those who were following wondered what had happened and were more as tonished still to see the entire pack, without checking for an Instant, dash through the open door Into the little room. A shrill scream wns heard, aud when the whipper In threw himself from his horse and gained tho thresh old he saw a sight which probably no fox . hunter has ever met before or since. A white faced woman stood clasping a child In her arms; and right there In the cradle, from which the In fant had Just been snatched, eighteen coudo of tierce hounds were struggling to devour their fox.
