A Right and Lawful Rood An example of the old rough and ready methods of arriving at a meas urement is the Elizabethan way of getting the feet Falentin Leigh who wrote on surveying records that after service on Sunday sixteen men were stopped at the church door just as they happened to come out and drawn up in line left foot to left foot The length thus obtained was taken as a right and lawful rood to meas ure and survey the land with and a sixteenth part of it as a right and lawful foot Although big and little men were thus roughly averaged against each other the results nat urally varied to some extent TIoiK e it is as Shaw Sparrow notes in treat ing of this rood as the architectural bay which gives us the bay win dow that a bay is sometimes found to be rather less than sixteen feet of twelve inches London Chronicle Tho Shepherd and His Flock A certain good bishop was in Italy for his health and while walking in the country one day he met a small girl who was tending some pigs The animals were giving her a great deal of trouble and the good bishop offered to stay and watch the ones that were grunting and rooting in a ditch while the little shepherdess went to catch two runaways that had strayed from the fold When she came back the reverend gentleman stroked the un kempt curly head of the child and ask ed her how much she earned by her hard work and was told that she re ceived 4 soldi a day Do you know said he that I too am a shepherd But I earn much more than you Ah yes answered the little peas ant but no doubt you tend many more pigs than I do Honesty Judge Did
