The Social Status of 'the Trader-- Great as a Distributing Centre--Her Manufacturing Claims Not High. Not a few interesting things dome out' when we study the history of mediaeval London. One of them is the social status of the trader. The fash: ionable contempt for his business is of comparatively recent growth, not much more than a century old. No precise date can be given; but in the earlier part of the eighteenth century the feeling on the matter was not what it became in the nineteenth. For hundreds of years before then the connection between the country and the city, the country gentlefolk and the city trader, had been most intimate. No more striking evidence of this can be given than the analysis of the origin of the 203 Lord Mayors from Henry Fitz-Aylwin down to the year 1633, a period of 210 years, Of these 156 were country born. When we consider what the mediaeval vil- lage was, how limited was the hori- zon of all but the lord of the manor or a knight here and there, it is not difficult to understand why many lads of good birth sought the oppor- tunities offered by apprenticeship in the city. Camden is quoted to show that the nobility thought with shame of the merchant's career. He himself declared "mercantura non derogat no- bilitati." These same country lads supplied the city, as indeed they do now, with the necessary fresh blood and energy. Another important point is the fact that London was always great as a distributing not, as a manufacturing centre. And this fact no legislation, no system of duties could alter. Fra- ternities of foreign merchants estab- lished themselves «ifi their fortified houses and kept their trade jealously to themselves. The crown, so long as it got its tolls and duties, was content. Now and then, indeed, it en- deavored to restrict their increasing trade, but its ordinances were always evaded. For London wanted whet they alone could supply. It could supply itself well enough with necessaries, as Sir Walter Besant says, but nei- ther London nor England has ever been content with necessaries. The mediaeval city of 500 years ago was as full of luxuries as is the city of to-day--the best shopping place in northern Europe in the days of Ed- ward III., as it is in the days of Ed- ward VII. Entire fleets laden with nothing but wine came to London. Once or twice there were periods when a man could '"'get dead drunk for twe- pence," as-the fascinating invitation of a later time put it; but the drink had by that time been changed from wine to gin. Mediaeval London had, indeed, the best of everything, paying for it all in wool. So Capgrave has it: "Our enemies laugh at us; they say: 'Take the ship off your gold no- ble and impress a sigep instead."" (This was the noble of Edward III.) Napoleon repeated the taunt, but the laugh was not in the end with the foreigner. And how, it may be asked, did these good things go backward and forward? Not always securely. We could not always command the Channel, though we still claimed the sovereignty of the seas. In this re- spect things reached their worst, we are told. in the 14th century. Foreign merchants settled in London and traded. They came from Venice, Rou- en, Genoa, Florence, Lombardy, Ant- werp and Dantzig. And so the period was a halcyon time for pirates, for | lords of manors who had foreshores, Wolseley's Dread of Invasion. Lord Wolseley has written two let- | ters to Lord Wemyss on the possibil- | ity of the invasion of England. The "England can never have an effi- cient army during peace, and she { must therefore accept the rebuffs and calamities which are always in store for the nation that is content to fol- low the breed of cowards who usually | direct her great affairs. | "The day will come when she will violently and suddenly lose her for- mer fighting renown to such an un- mistakable - extent that the plucky | fishwives will march upon Downing | street, and if they can catch its us- ual inmates, will rend them. | "One party is as bad as the other, | and T hope and pray that when the | national misfortune of a great defeat | at sea overtakes us, followed by the invasion of England or Ireland--very | possibly the latter -- that John Bull | will turn and rend the jawers and talkers who prevent us from being prepared to meet invasion." | Mainly For Housewives.

The total strength of the force at the end of last year was 17,210, and their "beat" extended over an area, excepting the city, included in a ra- dius of fifteen miles from Charing . This gives a total area of 699.- 42 square miles. The population of this wide district is 7,086,638, or, roughly speaking, about 412 persons to every policeman. The rateable value of the district is £50,959,879, but of the enormous total value of the property in charge of the police it is impossible to form any estimate. Police Were Busy. The principal duty of this large army og policemen was, of course, the revention and detoction of crime. Fhe following table gives an idea of the extent of their work in this direc- tion : 1905. Number of persons arrested 127,317 Oonvicted by magistrates .... 103,362 Convicted at' sessions ...... 3,176 Discharged by magistrates .. 20,088 Acquitted at sessions ...... 631 Criminal offences reported.. 21,176 Persons arrested ........., . 15474 Number of thefts. of pro- .

Work Is Varied. In many other ways, too, the police were busy, as the following record -of a portion of their work during the year shows :-- 1905. Lost people found. 13,814 Suicides prevented . 636 Fires extinguished 221 Fires attended .............. 2,835 Door and windows found open 26,618 Unknown bodies photographed 49 Runaway horses stopped .,.. 216 Dogs sotzed ..........r..s 38,191 Policemen bitten ............. 60 Summonses obtained by pri- vate persons and served by the polos ......co..neinse 78,604 Courage is a necessity in a police- man, judging by the records found in the report. It is stated that special commendation was given to Jollee, men in 279 cases for the display of exceptional bravery, varying from the stopping of a runaway horse to rescuing a man from a cellar in which he had been overcome by fumes. In forty of these cases the policemen re- ceived serious injuries. Sore Feet. Among other interesting facts con- tained in the report are the follow- ng -- Sixty per cent. of the force are on duty at night. The withdrawals from the men on duty owing to sick leave during the year average 423 daily. The wage bill of the force amounts to £1,483,676 yearly, and the total cost is £1,908,430. The number of motor-omnibuses in London, which at the end of 1904 was thirty-one, had risen by the end of 1906 to 241. There were 6,996 hansoms, 3,935 four-wheelers, and nineteen motor- cabs in London at the end of 1905. There were 213 policemen oft duty during the year owing to "sore feet." during the year. : Two olicemen were specially commended by magistrates for "humane treatment of destitute families."

Crockery is broken, ceilings are falling, street scavengers are with difficulty able to carry out their work, and the clerks in the telegraph offices can scarcely hear their instruments in the Edgeware road, where, after a lull due to the efforts of The Express, the motor-'bus nuisance has broken out ' again. A London Express representative who madé enquiries in the Maryle- bone district found that nearly every resident in the Edgeware road had some complaint to make about the motor-omnibus. Many have decided to leave the district, and the Maryle- bone Borough Council is deluged with hundreds of letters of protest. Noise Drowns Voices. Councillor Knight was one of the residents interviewed by The Express representative. "Edgeware road is a pandemon- ium," he said. "It is a positive fact that if I am walking with a friend along the street I cannot carry on a conversation because of the noise made by those vehicles. "The vibration caused by the con- stant procession of omnibuses is so great that ceilings are being ruined, much damage is being done to crock- ery, and newly-painted shops are as dirty as ever a few weeks after the improvement has been completed. One neighbor of mine spent £150 a few months ago in redecorating his shop, which now looks as if it had not been painted for years. "Not only do the motor-omnibuses raise dust and dirt, but they prevent the scavengers getting early to work, and so thoroughly cleaning the streets," continued Mr. Knight. "I have myself seen those public ser- vants standing idly on the pavement in the early morning while a prooes- sion--it was nothing else--of motor omnibuses raced three abreast down the road. One scavenger was killed not long ago." . Other residents have much the same story to tell. One storekeeper de- clared that he often stands at his door, watching with a kind of fascin- ation people who attempt to cross the street. "When two omnibuses of one company are trying to 'starve' a rival vehicle, pedestrians have to be very lively indeed to escape death or injury," he said. Can't Hear Ticker. A telegraph clerk told an Express representative that even with all the doors 'and windows closed he can hardly hear his "ticker." "We have to convert the office into a veritable oven in order to work at all," he added. Estate agents are finding increasing difficulty in letting houses or flats, for few people would by choice live in a constant turmoil, clouds of dust, and the odor of petrol. The Marylebone Council are doing all in their power to stop the nuis- ance, and recently two drivers were fined £1 and costs each for driving at a dangerous speed. He Commands Respect. Logd Courtney, one of the most re- cent additions to the British House of Lords, is the kind of man who commands respect rafher than affec- tion, says M.A.P. To look at, he might be a substantial farmer, were it not for the development of his dome-like head, now thatched with hair as thin- ly as his native Cornwall is with trees. The beetling brows, the big determined nose, the firm, clean-shav- en upper lip, and the whitening beard and whiskers, combine to form a coun- tenance full of character, and it is, indeed, a true index of the rugged, masterful, independent gpirit within. Even in his dress Lord Courtney shows his independence. Mathematics and the "dismal seience' of political economy have been the twin lodestars of his existence, and yet it is his fate to be regarded by the man in the street as a crank and a faddist. This is. due to his persistent advocacy of female suffrage and proportional rep- resentation; alse to his pro-Boer sym- pathies during the war. He disagrees, more or less, with everybody, and al- ways has done so, and yet none of the recent peerages conferred on Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman's recommen- dation has given more general satis- faction than Lord Courtney's. The bitterest disappointment of his life was when the Liberals would not elect him as Speaker after Lord Peel's re- tirement.

What a Scotland Yard detective de- scribed as "quite a new departure in counterfeiting" was revealed at Old street the other evening, when Wil- lia Coates and John Martin, two working class men of about 25, were remanded on the dual charge of manu- facturing counterfeit - sixpences by electroplating farthings, and "defac- ing the current coin of the realm." Detective-Sergeant Burnham on searching the prisoners' house found two small vices nailed on to a chest ot drawers, some plating mixture in a saucer, a number of files, and thir- teen or fourteen farthings. Some of these had been plated after the reverse side had been filed off to erase the word farthing. A Good Reason.

Can ye not read?' "Yes answered the youth, unabashed. "Then what did ye read on the notice at the gate? Eh! answer me that." "Well, sir," was the cool reply, "it said 'Private'--that"s why we came." Dear Lily Roots. Forty years ago the Marquis of Bath paid $7 for three water lily roots to place in the lake at Longleat. They have run riot to such an extent that the present marquis has devided that next year the lake will be cleared of its vegetation. The water stretches for three-quarters of a mile, and to rid the lake of the tenacious plant it will have to be drained and dredged. The late marquis once said he would give £1,000 to get rid of the growth. To Cure A Cold In One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab- lets, Druggists refund money if it fails to cure. E.
