EARLY TRAMPS. Tlic Kick Vrabl>cd the Land and Poor folk Followed Mnll. The dissolution of tbe monasteries had greatly increased vagrancy in the six- teenth century. Rich al>beys. like that of Heading, employed large numbers of workmen and servants, who, when their masters had fallen into evil case, were thrown upon a heartless world, and took to roWjery for a livelihood. The hospital of tbe monasteries in the good old days always provided food and a bed for weary travelers of whatever rank they were, and needy wanderers sorely felt the loss of their kind ho.<tts. The rich courtiers grabljed tbe church's lands and wealth, and the poor follow- L'd 1 heir example by grabbing whatever tbi-y could lay their bands on. Conse- quently, (here were in these purls "a great stoare of stout vagabonds and maysterless men (able enough for la- bour), which do great hurt in the coun- try by their idle and naugbtie life." The unfortunate persons who were robbed could claim compeusiition from the in- habitants of the hundred in which the robbery took place. Tbi.s old law was as ancient as the time of our great Berkshire King. Alfred ; for who is iguorant of tbe fact that when gold bracelets were hung up ly the road- side on account of the enforcement of this law and the fear of the vengeance of tbe hundred, no one dared to remove I hem 1 But when these highway robberies on Maidenhead Thicket were so frequent, the burden of making compensation fell somewhat heavily on tbe inhabi- tants of the hundred of Benhurst. In one year I hey paid us much as £255 for robberies committed on unfortunate wayfarers. Therefore a special act of Parliament was pas.seil in 1597 in order to relieve the inahbitauts from their burdens. another of tbe Empress Frederick's daughters was married in Berlin â€" Prin- cess Victoria to Prince Adolphe of Schaumberg-Lippe. In 1^91 there was a borne wedding of a Queen's grand- child. Princess Louise of Scbleswig-Hol- stein, the younger of the two daughters of Princess Christian, was wedded in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, to Prince Aribert of Anbalt.

Each bag when filled ia closed water tight, and the thing ia done. These divers are a nuiuerous class, and one whose em- ployment never ceases, since the de- mands of the thirsty are constant. Ons thousand sacks are filled daily from the submarine wells. The sources of these springs are un- known. They are, perhaps, to be found in the interior hills ot Bahrein, or they may exist in the more distant ridges of the mainland. Anyhow, there ar« George of Deumjurk was married to Princess Anne of England, daughter of James, Dake of York, afterwards James II. Merry King Charles gave his neice away, tbe ceremony being performed in tbe Chapel Royal, St. James', at 10 o'clock p.m. Extraordinary rejoicings took place that night In London, wine flowing freely from fountains, at royal and municipal expense, and sheep and oxen being roasted whole in several of the streets. So many bonfires were lit by people in front of their bouses that soldiers had to be ordered out to re- strain this warm expression of loyalty ; there was fear of a repitition of the terrible conflagration of 1666. The bride subsequently becxune Queen of England. Not one of her children arrived at ma- turity, and so this Danish marriage in- sured the arrival of her present Majes- ty's dynasty to the throne.

The tuajiner of their finding Is a profound mystery. One savant has suggested that In primeval times the present bot- tom of tne harl>or. where tbe wells :ire, was above tbe surface of the water- According to this theory the springs were known when they were thus al»>ve the sea level, and, as the water moimted gradually, a knowledge of their loca- tion was preserved. The Bahrein islands are famous for their pearl fisheries, known to the an- cients as to the dealers of to-day. They export pearls worth from Jl.OOO.OOO to $1,500,000 annually. it is not unreasonable to suppose that some time in the course of cen- turies one of the myriad divers came up from the fresh water springs and real- ized their oature and their worth.
