The mace, a symbol of government authority, has an ancient origin. One in Washington has been in existence since the organization of the federal government in 1789. It was provided for by a resolution adopted by the house during the first congress on April 14 of that year. It has served as a symbol of authority of the sergeant-at-armwho is charged with the duty of preserving order on the floor of the louse, states a writer in the Indianapolis News. The magistrates of the old Roman republic, proceeding on foot from one place to another, set up their ittle courts to administer justice. Each was attended by a small body of men known as lictors, who preserved order, made arrests and inflicted punishment. Each lictor carried witjj him a bunch of rods fastened together by thongs, with an ax bound on the outside. The rods were for scourging and the ax for beheading. In conquering Britain, the Romans brought with them the fasces, or rods, as an emblem of authority, which, like other Roman customs, remained with the British people and were introduced into American mstitutions. The mace in use in the English house of commons jvas made in 1649 by Thomas Maundy, chief maker of maces in the time of Oliver Cromwell. The mace of the Cromwell period, however, bore no regal symbols. These were restored after his time. Cromwell himself perpetrated the most flagrant offense of legislative authority when he pointed to the golden mace then in use and shouted: Take away lhat bauble! In a few instances the mace has been used in the United States to quiet some angered member of the house of representatives. According to records, its authority has never been ignored. A number of states, including South Carolina, . have maces used on state occasions.

Rathskellers celebrated The Rose Cellar in Bremen has a wine that even millionaires could not afford to drink, a Rudesheimer from the year 1653. Originally the wine cost 300 gold talers. Adding to this the yearly charge for interest and leakage, statisticians reckon that the value of the wine is over 9 a drop or more than a glass. Except as a curiosity, however, it is in practice not worth a cent, since the improvement of wine with age has its limits and after maturing for three hundred years, this Rudesheimer has completely lost its flavor. $20,000 Leaves of the Passion Flower three-leavethat grow in a in the cluster passion flower represent the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
