VERY QUEER PEWS.
Amusing Oddities of Some Anoient
English Churches.
Some pews in the fine old church
at Malpas, Cheshire, possess a most
amusing peculiarity. Each one consists
of several seats, which are really,
though not apparently, detachi
ed, and they look easy and comfortable.
In thi< case appearances
are deceitful, for should one occupant
of any one >eat lean forward
while "nidnid nodding" over lie
trnoa ori flip floor. The Seat IS SO
t-^Structed as to easily tii? over
>hen any weight is placed on ituter
or front edge and was so designed
to prevent people from going
to sleep in church.
We still find in a few of our ancient
cluirches the high pews, luxurious
cushions and curious fittings |
of former days.
In the good old times, when the
^juire was lord of all he surveyed
in the village, his pew in the parish
church was often a kind of sitting
| room. One such pew occupies the
whole of the south transept of the
diminutive church at Gatton, in
Surrey. It has a fireplace, a low
seat which extends around two sides
of the room and blue tapestry decoration.
Above it is another floor,
? v ?
? on wnicn art* uuvt ui iuui uiuiuai< i
rpews for the use of the squire's j
servants, and from it a covered way |
leads to Gatton Hall, some few |
yards away. There may be some
truth in the story that a former
6quire used to enjoy a pipe by the
fireplace during the sermon and
that if he became weary he would
go out through the private door for
a short stroll in the churchyard.
A similar pew exists in a church
at Colwich, Staffordshire. It has a
staircase leading to a private door,
a^d it is Sftid that the postman
came this way to convey letters and
that the servant brought in cake
and wine for consumption during
the service.
The royal pew of St. George's
chapel, Windsor, is peculiar, because
it is the largest of its kind in England
and on account of its being situated
above the choir, down upon
which the queen can see the service
from a fine oriel window.
In little Benjamin church, Nor
' -a .1 ?A
20IK, 15 a pew lor strangers aiui *w
diDg parties. It was constructed by
* shepherd and" bears a cheerful,
suggestive piece of ornamentation
in the shape of the carving of a
skeleton, with the following inscription:
For couples Joined In wedlock; and my
Friend
That stranger Is; This seat I did intende.
But built at the cost and charge of Stephen
Crisbee.
All you that doe this Place pass by.
As you are now. even so was I,
And as 1 am soe shall you bee.
Anno Domini 1G40.
A game of whist played in a pew
would nowadays cause considerable
comment, yet it seems that the
square pews at Trowbridge were
used for this purpose at the time
the "poet" Crabbe was droning
awav in the pulpit.
Other interesting old pews have
H&IDCS flllU UCCitMUiiflil* tuabo va
arms painted on them thus:
" The Rectory Pew,' 'The
jf hurcLing Pew' and. best of all
I tall Dog's Pew.'"
Tennyson's Humor.
There was a playful humor in
Lord Tennyson that rarely showed
itself unless the poet was v.ithin the
familiar circle of his friends. John
Blackwood, a member of the famous
firm of publishers, gave an amusing
instance of this in one of his letters:
j
The Rev. James White, rector of
""V a neighboring parish, and Tenny- j
'son were chafling each other, as I
their custom was. concerning the!
merits of their respective house?.
"I believe part of Bonehurch belongs
to you," remarked the poet.
"The whole of it," said White.
"You mean," retorted Tennyson,
"the hole you live in."
And the Rev. James White.
silenced.
Stomach troubles are very common
in the summer time and you
should not only be very caieful
about what you eat just now, but
more than thi3, you should be care
ful not to allow vour stomach to become
disordered, and when the stomach
goes wrong take Kodol. This
the best known preparation that

?^'spepsia or indigestion or any stomach
trouble. Kodol digests all foods

Xo Humbug
No humbug claims have to be
made for Foley's Honey and Tar,
the well known remedy for coughs,
colds and lung troubles. The fact!
that more bottles of Foley's Honey
and Tar are used than of any other
cough remedy is the best testimonial
of i's great merit. Why then risk
taking some unknown preparation
when Foley's Honey and Tar costs
j you no more and is safe and sure.
