HIDEOUS PUNISHMENTS.
Murdsrsrt W *r? One# Burisd Allv#
Ti?d H Thair Victim*.
Old time punishment for offense* ?t
?on was most sot ere. The code of the
time of Klchard 1. of Kncland, drawn
up for the government of his fleet on
the crusades, provided "that whoso
killed any person on shlplioard should
be tied with hlin thnt was slain and
thrown Into the sea. And If he killed
him on the land he should In like man
ner be tied with the partle slain and
be buried with him In the earth."
In Elizabeth's time a thief was to be
ducked three times, towed ashore at
the stern of a boat and marooned with
a loaf of bread and a can of beer.
Mutiny was punishable by the cul
prit's being hanged by his heels "until
his brains were beaten oute against
the shyppe's side."
The penalties Imposed for sleeping
on watch were progressive. Kor the
first offense the man was to be "head
ed" with a bncket of water; on the
next occasion he was to be strung np
by his wrista and to have two buckets
of water poured Into his sleeve#; the
third time he would be loaded with
weights and bound to the mast, and
"for the fonrthe time he was to be
hanged to the boltsprite. with a can
of bee re and a blseotte of breade and
a sharp knife, and so to hang and
choose whether he would cutte him
self down and fall Into the sea or
hancre still and starve."
Among the rules issued by Ralelch
for the governing of his South Ameri
can expedition In 1017 was that no
man should be allowed to gamble for
his arms or clothes "on the pain of
being disarmed and made a swabber
of the ship." A general punishment
for blasphemy at this time was for
the offender to tie bound to the main
mast with an Iron bit between his
teeth, the alternative belne a scraping
of the tongwe. All sorts of odd and
frequently hideous punishments are to
be found described In old manuscripts.
In 177." a man found drunk aboard or
ashore was taken care of nntll the
following mornlne. when In the pres
ence of the ship's company he was
presented ? Ith a pint of salt water,
which he had to drink.
The dreaded "cat" Is probably th?
best known of these old naval pun
ishments. Whlpplnc was provided for
at lea?t as lone aco a? the fifteenth
century, and In Drake's time the reg
nlar trouncing of the ??hip's lw>ys by
the boatswain on Monday morning
was roeardr>d as the only means of
Insuring a fair wind for the rest of
the week.? Chicago News
Modaat Kit Carson.
Christopher (Klti Carson touched the
wild life of the west nt m?re point*
than any other person of any time.
But he was always modest, declares a
writer In the Century Magazine, and
disliked anything which savored of
flattery One day In 18^2 the great
frontiersman chanced to stop at Max
well'* ranch, on the Cimarron river. In
New Mexico, a well known point on
the Santa Fe trail, when a regular ar
my officer of high rank who was there
?iclalmcd exuberantly:
"So this is the distinguished Kit Car
son who has made so many Indians
run!*'
Carson silenced his eulogist hy quiet
ly remarking. "Yes. I've made some
Indians run. but a good deal of the
time they were running after .ne."
A Dish of Pottad Roaas.
There was a time when Englishmen
could celebrate St George's day by
feasting on roses as well as wearing
them. Old cookery books abound In
recipes Into which rose leaves enter.
One writer tells how to make potted
roses. "I first pound some of the most
fragrant roses in a mortar. Then I
fake the brains of birds and pigs well
boiled and stripped of every particle of
meat I then add the yolks of some
eggs, some oil. a little cordial, some
pepper and some wine. After having
beaten and mixed It well together I
place It over a slow Are. When this
dish Is brought to table the most dell
clous fragrance issues forth, covering
the guests with delight." Every good
housewife In the seventeenth century
made rosewater. which was used for
Savoring food
Too Truo.
A popular clergyman in an address
on generosity in New York said:
"A woman remarked to me the other
day:
" 'Mrs. Blank is very shabby this
spring. Mr. Blank adores ?he ground
she walks on. yet he won't allow her
enough to dress decently.'
" 'Ah. madam." 1 replied. It isn't al
ways the devoutest worshiper who puts
the most money in the collection

RAILROAD RAILROAD HAH
TROIUMC IS BI'NtUKS
The following account of some
railroading on the Copper River A
Northwestern Is taken from the Val
de* Prospector
The railroad officials have 90 men
working to clear the line and have
not abandoned the hope of opening
the road One rotary Is stalled st
55 and is without fuel. It has
worked Its way from Tlekel, which
is mile 100, down to 66, where It
Htruck the snow sheds and found
them drifted full of snow The
fuel played out and the engines hsd
to be drained of water In order to
prevent the tubes freeslng.
The wind hu blown from 40 to
?is high as 100^ miles an hour and
the men have remained with the
fighting until lack of fuel oil put
the rot ar lee out of commission
Supt. Oeiger immediately set a
force of men to work to try and
turn the rotary at 66 around so
that it could be sent north again
If he succeeds he may be able
to open the line
The company have not as yet an
nounced that Ihey will abandon the
effort but word may be sent from
the New York office any moment
to quit.

?T is a hard thing to "convince mdif people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
freen fields far away appeal to them, ao they aend their money out of
town for something that is no better than can he found on the local
merchant * shelve* The money i* thu* gone where they, r *r any one
of the community, will ever ?ee it again, and where it can <n nobody
good but the person who ha* it and he is hundreds or thnmnds of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad Many of them aend away for
their printing, while at the same time argue against mad order business.
