Stocks One of Oldest
Forms of Punishment
The stocks at Wroxhall recalls one
of the oldest fonns of punishment of '
drunkards, disorderly persons, and
other offenders against the law. The
chief merit of the punishment was
that it was cheap, no expense being
Incurred by the parish. Every village
was required by the law of 1405 to
provide stocks, and these as a rale
were placed Just outside the church,
as being the most prominent situation.
Up and down the Midlands the old
stocks are still to be met with. In
London their use was discontinued
nearly a century ago, but in the prov
inces they were not abandoned until
some years later, says the London I
Chronicle. So far as Birmingham is
concerned, the last person placed in
the stocks was In 1844, the punish
ment taking place in the yard of the
old public offices in Moor street.
It is recorded that at Stratford-on- ;
Avon as late as 1868 a man who had
taken too much malt liquor was put i
in the stocks, but does not seem to I
have been at all abashed by his public ’
degradation, for when an inquisitive
person inquired how he liked being
where he was he replied: "I beant
the first mon as ever were in the
stocks, so I don’t care a fardln about
It.” Biblical students need not be re
minded that Jeremiah, the prophet,
was placed in the stocks by Pashur,
and Paul and Silas would seem to
have suffered much the same kind of
treatment at the hands of the Jailer
at Philippi.
For more than two years the sun’s
heat at the tropics has been from one
to two per cent below normal, but
at present it is up the normal again.

Water Looked On as
Cureall by Gypsies
Konrad Bercovlcl, the magazine
writer, who was born a gypsy, in writ
ing In Hygela of the habits of gypsy
I tribes, comments as follows on their
. use of water as a preventive of dis
! ease.
i "The gypsy believes in the curative
I qualities of water. When a child is
born it is Immediately immersed in
running water. When some one is 11l
j he is given water —cold water, hot
water, water all the time; water
I igalnst headaches, as a cure for rheu
matism and all old age complaints.
When a man is over sixty they say:
He is drinking old age water.’
"They use water to cure ills of
horses and cattle and sheep. Even
'.heir incantations for happiness, their
ove potions and ®ite potions are all
water. Naturally a deal of hokum
goes with it. Water is their religion,
lheir witchcraft. Many a gypsy has
told me the reason gypsies move from
one place to another Is because they
are going to better and better waters
—to swiftly running waters.
"The gypsies use no drugs of any
kind; not even herbs, dried or boiled.
Next to water, their other remedy is
fat —lard, grease and butter. They ap
ply that to wounds after washing
them. Water, grease and sunshine be
gins the gypsies’ prayer to Tchluma,
the mother of the world."
Two Theories as to
Origin of “Gazette”
There are two theories as to the
origin of "gazette.” It seems that the
first newspaper so called was pub
lished at Venice In the Sixteenth cen
tury. According to one theory, the pa
per was issued at Venice by the gov
ernment and came out in manuscript
once a month during the war of 1563
between the Venetians and the Turks.
The paper was read publicly In certain
places and the fee charged for hearing
it read was one “gazetta,” which was
a small Venetian coin worth a fraction
of a cent Hence the paper came to be
called the “gazetta” and finally the
"gazette.” If this derivation is correct
it is parallel to that of “Jitney” as ap
plied to a bus which carries passen
gers for a “jitney,” or a nickel. Ac
cording k> the other theory, “gazette”
as applied to the Venetian paper is de
rived from “gazza," a magpie. Hence
it might have been a fitting name for a
newspaper.—Pathfinder.
Tracts and Tracks
Uncle Bill Walker, who lived at the
foot of Great Smoky, became an easy
convert to the propaganda of Mormon
missionaries. His brother, Sammle,
an old magistrate of considerable
means and great influence in the
coves of the Smokies, was eagerly
sought after as a “prospect."
Squire Sammle was sitting on his
front porch one afternoon when two
elders of the new faith came up from
the road. *
“Brother Walker," one of them be
gan courteously, . “we have come to
tell you about the Church of the Lat
ter-Day Saints, and we should like to
leave some tracts for you to look
over.”
“That’s all right, gentlemen,” the
old mountaineer replied without even
taking his pipe from his mouth. “You
uns Is welcome to leave all the tracks
you want to, Just so’s the toes of ’em
is p'lntin’ t’ward yan gatel”—Every
body’s Magazine.
By Intention
When a Scotchman has no argu
ment at his tongue’s end to defend his
own line of conduct which another
may have criticized, It may safely be
Inferred that his ancestry has a strain
from some other nation.
A man who has an estate in Scot
land took his new plowman to task for
the wavering furrows which were the
result of his work.
“Your drills are not nearly as
' straight as those Angus made,” he said
i severely. "He would not have left
such a glebe as this."
“Angus dldna ken his work," said
Tammas calmly, contemplating his em
ployer with an Indulgent gaze. “Ye
see, when the drills is crockit the sun
gets in on all sides, an’ 'tls then ye
get early ’tatles.” —Philadelphia Led
ger.
Words Wrongly Spelled
“I have seen lists of the words most j
often misspelled,” said a teacher |
quoted In the New York Times, “but
in my eTerience the one most fre
quently sinned against in print is |
•gauge.’ I have even found it stamped .
‘guage’ on the manufactured article.
The next most frequently misspelled?
: I don’t know. But for one infrequently
I use<i, ‘buoy’ certainly ranks high.
. ‘Weird’ seems to give some people lots
I of trouble, and almost everybody on a
i test will misspell ‘deleble,’ because |
1 better acquainted with its negative, i
‘indelible,’ which has changed its
original spelling."

Waldo Turned a Corner
Waldo’s teacher had asked him to I
write a sentence containing the word
amphibious, and as Waldo was but
twelve, he had some trouble spelling
the word, but, after several calls on
teacher for aid, evidently got it writ
ten to his satisfaction. Then ensued
a long period of concentration and
wriggling. It was broken when Waldo
asked teacher how to spell containing.
At last he laid the results of his la
bor on the teacher's desk, and this is
what she read:
> “My teacher has asked me to write
a sentence containing the word am
phibious.” —Philadelphia Ledger.

Simple Explanation
This Joke, which was recently for
warded to prove that scientific men can
I be witty as well as wise, should be
read aloud: A colleague of Dr. Cron
Brown, the famous Edinburgh pro
fessor of chemistry, once came to him
concerning an Indian medical student
whose English was defective.
“We cannot pass this man,” he said.
"He Is quite Illiterate; he simply can
not spell. Why, he has spelt proceed
I with one ‘e’.”
"From what place doe® be come?"
asked Doctor Brown.
; “From Ceylon."
At once Doctor Brown flashed back: |
"That explains It. That’s the land of j
i the Cingalese I”
Ht» College!
I have just come across this story in
“Twenty-Five Years In Six Prisons,”
by that well-known chaplain, Mr. Eus
tace Jervis: In a London omnibus one
day the chaplain recognised a strap
-1 hanger as a "client.” “Hello, Jack!’’
he said. "Got work, I see.”
••Oh, yes, sir.” was the reply; “get
ting on all right. You're still at the i
same college, I suppose? How are the
students? Well, I sha’n’t be coming
back to see you for some time, I hope.”
“Now I call that Art with a big A,’
comments the chaplain, “for though
everybody could hear every word, no
one could tell what the college was.”

Children Need Sunlight
for Their Development
Recent experiments on chicks dem
onstrated the Importance of sunlight
In human health, particularly as a
factor In the physical development of
young children.
The chicks were divided Into three
groups. All were given the same diet,
but one group was kept In natural sun
light, the second In natural sunlight
passing through window glass, while
the third was kept in natural sunlight
and exposed at Intervals to strong
ultra-violet rays.
The first group of ehicks developed
l normally. All of the second group—
those that received the sunlight through
window glass—developed rickets.
Those of the third group reached in
ten weeks the same stage of physical
development that those raised In nat
ural sunlight attained in twelve weeks.
The rickety chicks were cured when
subjected to ultra-violet ray treatment.
Between 97 and 100 per cent of the
children born in the summer and au
tumn develop rickets In some degree
by the following spring. Through the
winter the mothers fear to subject
them to the bitter cold; hence the
babies receive their "sunshine” behind
closed windows.

Poor Litle Rich Boy
Has His Troubles, Too
Though there never Is a second's
Jet-down In making chlvalrlc manners
second nature to the boy of society
parents, there are two schools Influ
encing his education, says the New
York Times.
One, predominant, is the school to
make a man of him; and this school
sees that the boy has a competent box
ing Instructor and frequent lessons in
the art of fisticuffs.
The other school emphasizes danc
ing and music lessons for recalcitrant
young heirs who would rather be turn
bling about in athletic fun.
There was one hot summer day—
one of the biggest town houses on
Fifth avenue —the family at home for
a day or two, between summer flit- :
tings—and the ballroom opened for a
ten-year-old boy’s dancing lessons.
He wept, but his mother was ob
durate. Here was the beautiful big
reception room, a blaze of sunlight
coming In the windows. A young wom
an, specially engaged, played the piano
and the dancing Instructor, also a
| young v oman, monotonously demon
| strateC steps, called out “one, two,
three,” and led the suffering, perspir
ing boy in doleful Jazz dances for an
hour In the morning and another in ths
afternoon.
And he wore white kid gloves.
