Ouitc 11 picturesque formality look
plate Dm other evening at the bin*
lone Si. Ofave's imd St. Saviour's
Grammar sthohlr in Tooley street,
the occasion being "rent day"' us
tull as spee«h day. In the reign
of (•ueen Elizabeth th0*churchward-
ens puivluiscd on behalf of the par-
ish, a field in the old parish of
Ilorsleydow n in order to endow Ihe
school-—then, of course, a very small
ooe. I lie revenue brought in tnorc
money than was needed, and a por-
tion oj the lield v. as leased to trus-
tees lor 1 he benefit of the poor. The
lease was for a term of .">(10 years, at
the yearly rent of a red rose, payable
at midsummer if lawfully demand-
ed. The lease is now held by the
trustees of the united charities of
St. Olave and St. John, and Ihey
provide maintenance scholarships
for girls and boys. In accordance
with annual custom the rent was
demanded, and a red rose was pre-
sented by Mr. Fells, a governor of
the school, to .1. Temple Seriven,
the warden. Originally Ihe field was
purchased for £.'50. Now the total
income from il is about £5,000, a
portion of which is devoted to the
provision of pensions for the aged
poor. Hence, in the vicinity of the
famous Tooley street a "red, red
rose" is worth £5,000 a year.—Lon-

APOLOGY WITH A STRING
Poole Was Sorry for Hie Outburst,
But Evidently His Sentiments
Were Unchanged.
A delightful story is told of
Thomas Toole, says London An-
swers. When "a person of some
local importance, and with certain
claims to respect ytid deference,"
which everybody recognized, took it
in his head to hold forth in Poole's
presence- -perhaps out of pure love
•>f irritating a fellow-creature—in,
authoritative disparagement of
Coleridge and Wordsworth, Poole
boiled over, and lold the revilor, in
ihe most emphatic manner, that lie |
was a fool.
Poole was sorry for il afterward.
"Hid I call him a fool? How very
wrong of me! How very wrong!
Would it do any good to apologize?
I am sure, if it would give him any
satisfaction, I woTdd apologize in
moment." So he returned —"I am
sure, sir, I am very sorr? I was rude
(o you just now. I apologize most ;
sincerely. I wish I wasn't so hasty, j
It was extremely wrong of me. Rut
—hut—but" (with a gulp, as if he
were all but choking) "how could
you be such a confounded fool?"

WITTY DRIVERS OF CABS
London Jehus Have Shafts of Sar-
casm for Those Who Fail to
Treat Them Liberally.
Paul Morton, the president of the I
Equitable Life Assurance society,'
was walking on I.a Savoie abput Ihe I
London cabby,
"A hansom or a four-wheeler is j
supposed to be cheap in London,"!
%Mr. Morton said, "but let the aver-
age American tourist go driving
about in one of them day after day,
and at the week's end the size of his
expenditure will shock him.
"Of course, il is impossible to ride
in a London cab and pay only the
legal fare of a shilling for two
miles. Try cab-riding without lib-
eral tipping, and the cabman will
assail you with the most brilliant
and witty sarcasm.
"I know a lawyer who, through
ignorance, rode from the British
museum lo the l«itz hotel in Pic-
cadilly. and only gave his driver the
shilling required by law.
"The driver looked at this shilling
and bit his lip. Then, in the most
courteous manner, he motioned to
the lawyer to get in again.
" '(!o on,' he said. 'Do step in
again, sir. I could ha' drew ve a
vartl or two further for this 'ere.'"
INVENTORS HARD AT WORK
Both in fcnaland and Germany Appli-
cations for Patents Sho*
a Large Increase.
~~~ , ■ I
Inventiveness is on Ihe increase
and brought last year, according to (
the comptroller general's report 30,-
000 applications for patents, which
is the higU'sl number recorded in
am vear. being 2,425 above the total
for 1905, says the London Daily
News. Three hundred I'resh speciii-
cations are expected every week.
One dav, November 5, brought as ^
many as 153. j
Women inventors sent in 600 ap-(
plications during the year. The re-,
port does not disclose the problems,
which wort engaging their minds, j
whether for the benefit of their own
sex exclusively, in regard to some
simplification of feminine attire or
domestic worry, or for the general (
good of humanity.
Germany, ever vigilant and always
with an eye on British industrial-
ism, sent in 3,257 applications for
patents, which for the lirst time sur-
passed the year's total of the Cnited
States.
The year's increased total is in
a large measure due lo activity in
the motorcar industry. The motor
omnibus has given rise to a con-
siderable number of devices to pre-
vent skidding. The continued liabil-
ity to puncture of ordinary pneu-
matic tires still keeps inventors
busy: they are seeking other means
of obtaining resilient
wheels.
COOPERATIVE FARMING
Many Thousands of Associations at
Work in Germany to Help the
Cause of Agriculture.
At the close of If<0,* 17,162 co-
rative farming associations existed
in the German empire, with a mem-
bership of more than 1,000,000
farmers: Iof the above num-
ber of associations were confeder-
ated. Out of the 9,411 associations
operating in Prussia 6,059 facilitat-
ed credits to farmers, *"6 attended
to the supply and demand and
1,1 "'8 to dairying.
In Bavaria. 2,613 of the 3,294, as-
sociations dedicated their work to
furnishing credits to agricultural
undertakings, 234 lo supply and de-
mand, 24< to "dairying and 200 to
various other purposes; all, how-
ever. fostering mutual assistance to
husbandmen and thus redounding
The cooperative associations of
credit expend loans amounting tc,.
on the average, from $17,410,000 to
.$73,340,000 annually. In 1905 the
cooperative bodies for the creation'
of demand purchased fertilizers,
forage, seed, eoal and other items
amounting to *1*2,062,500.
On the other band, the centers of
supply and dairying. which in a,
comparatively short time have fil-
tered a career of great prosperity,
