Montem at Eton and the Ancient Salt Tax
A description from Youth's Companion recounts the Montem at Eton, a once thrifty triannual English custom. Salt bearers in sixth form collected large sums from visitors, sometimes 1000 to 1200 pounds, into silk bags for the school’s upperclassmen. Donors received vine paper slips bearing the motto for that year, with royalties also taxed at Windsor bridge when the queen passed, and an elder salt bearer declared the toll to the sovereign.

Deaths Head Moth Sings in Mysterious Voice
A Christian Science Monitor piece notes the death's head moth emits a squeak like a mouse from distance, contrasting its vocal abilities with other insects. It explains the moth, not crickets, could lead a concert if insects performed, and ponders whether the name inspired its voiced protest.
