Blood In England. | TRIED TO STEAL THE CROWN | The Daring Scamp Almost Succeeded, Too, and Managed to Escape Pun- ishment After Being Captured--His Attack on the Duke of Ormonde. A daring, fearless scamp and one of the most reckless and brazen soldiers of fortune that ever cut a swath in England was the notorious Colonel { Thomas Blood. This choicest of seventeenth century scoundrels was born: prebably in Ire- land in or about 1618. During the civil war he was active on the parliamen- tary side, was made a justice of the peuce by Henry Cromwell and received large grants of land. These were con- fiscated at the restoration, and Blood | forthwith began his career as a des- | perado. His first plot was to seize Dublin cas- tle and the person of the Duke of Or- | monde, the lord lieutenant, in 1663. A crowd was to be collected at the castle | gates, a pretended baker with a load {of bread upon his shoulder was to | stumble and, upset the loaves, and in ()"~! thé Scramble which would probably en- | | sue among the castle guards the gates | | were to be selzed, but the plot was be- | { trayed to Ormonde, and, although Blood himself escaped, his brother-in- | law was arrested and executed. | After a period of seclusion among the | { Irish hills and in Holland, Blood cross- | { ed to England and joined the fifty mon- | | archy an. After one or two minor | deeds of daring he planned and nearly | | carried out a desperate stroke in 1670. | | In that year the Prince of Orange visit- | | ed England and was entertained by the city of Loudon. In his train on the oc- | caslon was the Duke of Ormonde, against whom Blood nursed undying Imte. The duke was dragged from his coach in 8t. James street by Blood and | his son-in-law, strapped on horseback | to one of the conspirators and hurried {toward Tyburn. Bo determined was the prime mover in the affair that his | enemy should die that he hurried on { toward the gallows to arrange the rope. | The duke's coachman gave the alarm {and followed his master with assist- | | ance, and a timely rescue was effected. | On May 9 in the following year Blood | | made his great attempt to carry off the | Tower jewels. He set about the task in | quite a modern style. Some three | weeks before the attempt he and a wo- { man whom he represented as his wife ~his real wife being then in the north | of England--visited the Tower, where | the lady feigned a sudden fliness. She | and her companion were invited into | the private apartments of Edwards, the aged keeper, that she might rest | and recover. | Three or four days later they return- | ed with a present of gloves as an ac- knowledgment of the civility. Blood was courtesy itself, admired every- thing, but especially Edwards' pretty daughter, and presently proposed a match between the young lady and his | "nephew." This was agreed to, and the visitors at once dined with the fam- | fly, Blood pronouncing an edifying | grace. After dinner they were shown over the house. Blood managed to rid Edwards of a case of pistols by pur- | chasing them for a friend, and it was | arranged that the "nephew" should be brought for inspection by his future | bride at 7 o'clock on the morning of' May 9. | Punctual to the day and hour, Blood appeared avith three companions--Par- rot, Hunt and Holloway. Each had a sword stick in his hand, a dagger in his | beit and pistols in his pockets. Hollo- | way remained outside te guard the | door. { Blood, with a nice regard for the eti- queite of the occasion, proposed that they should await the arrival of his wife before joining the ladies and that | Edwards should show them the crown | Jewels to while away the time. The Jewel room was entered and the 'door, | as usual, closed. Edwards was at once attacked, gagged and bound, an iron hook being even attached to his nose | | "that no sound might pass from him | that way." In spite of threats he | struggled gallantly, was knocked down, stabbed and left for dead. the globe in his loose breeches. Blood | {crushed up the crown and thrsst it be- | | neath his cloak, while Hunt began to | | file the scepter in two before putting it {in a bag. | At this moment, like a bolt from the | blue, appeared Edwards' son, newly ar rived from Flanders and eager to greet his family. He went first to his moth- er and sister, and the thieves slipped out, but Edwards, regaining conscious- ness, managed to give the alarm, and they were taken. Said Blood philo- sophically, "It was a bold attempt, but | It was for a crown." After this one imagines there woul be short shrift for Colonel Blrod, an we expect the march to Tyburn and an | edifying ®last speech." But he refused to plead unless In private to the king and was adinitted to an interview, got on the right side of the merry mon- arch, hinted at ageomplices by the hun- dred who would ¥ge his death, was granted his forfeited estates and was thenceforward freqfent in the pres- ence chamber, Then he quarreled with his patron, Buckingham;.and was cast In damages for slander oh the duke. He died In 1680 and was buried in Tot- hill fields; bot, a "sham fuberal" ru- mor being started, he was exhumed two days later and identified at go in- quest.-- London Globe, \ Alr Is estimated to surround the earth to a depth of from 120 to 200 miles, veh Choosing A Hat.

On more. than one occasion voluh- teers for the scaffold have offered themselves to take the place of 'the condemned. Thus on the eve of the execution of Dr. Dodd. famous as the author of "The Beauties of Shakespeare," a man presented himself at Newgate and ask- #d) to 'be permitted to suffer in his stead. His request was deemed 50 ex- traordinary' that he was taken in charge as a lunatic. But be was able to -convince the magistraté, before whom he was brought the next day, of his sanity and so was discharged. All he asked as the price of his self sacrifice was £200, to. be settled on his | mother. In another instance, which happened | only a few years ago, a man who said be suffered from an incurable disease wrote to the home secretary offering himself as a substitute for a certain eminent scholar who had murdered his wife in a fit of passion. He asked neither fee nor reward, being, as be explained, tired of his life. | Then, too, there was the ease of Ell- | za Fenning, which created so much | pity that five persons came forward | and volunteered to suffer in her stead. | Of course no notice was taken of their | requests, the culprit, a pretty young | girl, being executed in due course. | London Chronicle { | wr Lr VENEERING. It Is Produced by Two Methods, Saw= ing and Slicing. "There are two kinds of veneering~-- sawed and sliced--but it takes an ex- | pert to tell the difference," says a man: ufacturer. "The process of manufac- ture is simple and interesting. The | logs, delivered at the factory in the rough, about thirteen feet in length, | | are first cooked in hot water vats to | make thém soft and workable. | "It does not matter how green they | are. After being thoroughly cooked | they are placed on machines designed | for the purpose and either sliced by a powerful knife the length of the log or | cut by a circular saw into slabs about | one-twentieth of an inch thick.
