Charles I, and Chfiries 117 i That' these ghosts should take the form of Cistercian monks is not sur- prising when it is borne in mind that Rufford was a Cistercian abbey in pre- reformation times. The park around it once formed part of that Sherwood for- est. where Robin Hood and his merry men plundered the rich for the benefi of the poor, The more modern portion of the abbey dates from the reign of Queen Elizabeth, but the greater part of it is hundreds of yeals 'Older, espe- clally the magnificent crypt, now used a8 a servants' hall, and unaitered sinbe foot thick walls, . i At the time of the reformation, Ruf- ford Abbey was bestowed by King Henry VIII upon his favorite, George, Earl of Shrewsbury, who at his death bequeathed it to his son-in-law, Sir George Savile.

The present Lord Savile is childless, and at his death, as there are no other descendants of the eighth Earl of Scarborough, his grand- father, the Rufford Abbey estates will revert to thé Earldom of Scarborough. S---------------------- The Neglect of Science, The London Lancet (Aug. 11), com- menting on the presidential address de- livered by Prof. Ray Lankester before the British Association at York, says: "The failure of the public and of our leaders of industry to realize the im- mense practical importance of gclentific research is a serious menace to the wel- fare and prosperity of the country. In many instances the people do not Sppear to understand the real nature and object of scientific inquiry; they regard it as a kind of hobby pursued by cranks for amusement, or by a glorified class of conjurers who intend to get rich upon patent rights; they divorce it altogether from serious pur- poses. When the fact is plainly brought home that people are dying by thous- ands from preventible disease it might be thought that generous support would he given to the organization of research designed to alleviate the ill The reverse prevails: neither the work nor the worker receives ny large mea- sure of public sympathy, and all en- f- dowment 1s left to a few public spirit- ed individuals. The public never re- alizes that the laborer in the field of science is worthy his hire, Honors. it Is true, await the discoverer, but what a number of investigations there must be which are fruitless because of the lack of monetary support. Medical science has a stronger claim perhaps than any other province of research 'on the generosity of the public, and yet how niggardly is the ™sponse to all appeals. for funds to carry. out the work of combating disease by scientific methods. Readers of The Lancet will thoroughly endorse the view of Prof. Lankestér that if the people of this country wish to make an end of in- fective and other diseases they must take every possible means to discover capable investigators, They must dis- cover them and employ, them, and if , X00d result is to be made at all cer- fuin It lg probable that where a pound or eo of public money is now &pant it Will be necessary to spend thousands. Nothing short of the annual al- location of a generous sum of money out of the public purse will serve the purpose; and the public should learn that It is a fundamental truth that 'on he successful prosecution of scientific Fesearch depend, after all, the health and welfare of 'the community." ie -c 4 Hygienic Oath, de Testaments with washable covers have been provided at the Acton and Hig Witnesses.

'We hear a lot nowadays of the scare- ity of farm labor, and of the dilemgma in which farmers find themselves to secure the gifts of a bounteous Provi- dence. But The Clinton New Era caps the climax with a story, which is too ood not to reproduce: "A good joke is told at the expense of one of CHnton's independent gentlemen, who having made provision for the picking of his cherries with a certain person who af- terwards found it impossible to fulfil his contract, went into the orchard, cut the valuable: tree 'down, stripped it of its heavily-laden limbs, and proceeded to pick fruit 'under the shade of the old apple tree." 4 A Cure That Didn't Work. It is rumored, says The Fernie, B, C. Ledger, that a certain married man who bad invested too much of his monthly pay in Seagram last Satur@ay night, and in consequence wended his way home rather deviously, met 'with an un- expected experience. His wife, having had this kind of experience upon many other pay nights past and gone, con- cluded to give he¥ husband of the de- vious gait habit a lesson which would lead him to improve his galt. Dame Tumor adds zest to this unvarnishea tale by relating that this much-troubled woman arrayed herself in black tights, trimmed in red rings, long pointed siip- pers turned up at the toes, decorated her face after the fashion of an Indian warrior, let her long black hair fall loosely down over her bare shoulders, and as the lmber-jolnted 'hubby stag- gered into the room, she said in a voice Lull of smoke and sulphur: "Come in here, you brute, I'm a she devil" Imag- ine her surprise when he staggered up 10 her, reached out his hand and stam- mered: "Ish-zat-s0?
