The w' nothing fortuitous about the era In those days. The tailor, "like ti physlian and surgeon, was obliged 1 law to be a member of his college. Ti institution regulated all the affairs the tailoring trade, anl was called U College of the Vestiarli (vestment m.' kers). Without its diploma no on dared, under heavy pains and pena ties, practice the craft and myster, of the master tailor, and, needless I say, the master tailor had asb to be freeman.

The following ex ample of a rabbit attacking a sto%t rests on the first-hand observation of a trustworthy field naturalist. He was sitting on a log in Gunton park, in Norfolk, near some nettles, when he eard a curious grunting noise in the ettle-bed. Presently a stoat ran out nd almost immediately a rabbit ushed from the nettle-bed and knock d the stoat over. The rabbit then ran ack a little and repeated the odd noise which had been heard before. The stoat picked itself up and ran, not at the rabbit, but toward the nettles. The efore it could enter the nettle-bed. It did this four times in all before the stoat wars able to get past. When It id so it almost immediately caught md kille I a very young rabbit, which the doe had evidently been trying tc ,rotect.
