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

Hope Diamonds History
According to its legend the diamond
first appeared in 1CSS when a French
traveler named Tavernier reached Paris
with a marvelous gem concerning the
acquisition of which he gave vague ac
counts It was purchased by Louis
XIV who placed it among the crown
jewels of Fra nce and allowed it to be
won by Mine de Moutespan Here
the tales of misfortune began Taver
nier the legend says was soon after-

THE HOPE DIAMOKD
ward torn to pieces by wild dogs in
1 Constantinople The fall of Mme de
Montespan is part of history
When Louis XIV died the stone
descended along with the other crown
jewels to Louis XV It was worn by
j several of his favorites so runs the
story and the lives of all are supposed
to have ended in tragedy and failure
Louis XVI who followed Louis XV
gave the gem to his wife Marie An
toinette Louis XVI and Ids queen
both perished on the scaffold during
the terror In the general confusion
the stone was lost sight of some time
during the year 1792
According to an account said to have
been given by Daniel Eliason a Lon
don jeweler who acquired the dia
mond in 3S30 after it was supposedly
stolen from the royal treasures of
France by a Paris mob the gem was
by CHnedlnst
MIt AND MUS E B JlliEAN
sold to an Amsterdam jeweler Wil
liam Fals who recut the stone to its
present dimensions
Renamed the Hops Diamond
Eliason sold the stone to Henry
Thomas Hope a London banker just
before he failed in business The
price paid in this transaction SGoOOO
was the first one of which record had
been kept Since then the gem has
been known as the Hope diamond
Hope gave it to his daughter when
she married the sixth Duke of New
castle In 1S01 and the fiction mongers
devised it to her son Lord Francis
Hope who married May Yohe a
vaudeville actress in 1S92 May Yohe
left her husband and eloped with Put
l5am Bradlee Strong an American
Financial reverses overwhelmed him
and he was divorced
Finally Hope is said to have sold
tap gem to Joseph Frankel a New
tYj6rIv jeweler At length it was sold to
SelimHabib a Persian said to be act
