Fall Weather and Warm Blood.

We should never allow ourselves to forget
that nature intended US for warm-blooded
animals. In this climate of surprising chang
es, we are very apt to forget it, especially in
the fall and spring. AT such seasons, when
we freeze and simmer on alternate days, there
is engtndered in us certain recklessness,
which takes no heed of cold or heat, damp
ness or dryness, and receives all temperatures
with the same front, generally defenseless
one. 1t is certainly very troublesome to
change front as often as the weather, and
there is a prejudice in American minds
against such change, which has a great deal
to do with the rapidly increasing population
of our graveyards People like to have some
stability of purpose, and if they can have it
in nothing else they will strive to have it in
their dress They will not make change
until they make permanent one for the sea-
son. Nomatter how hot it is in the spring.
they will wear spring clothes until summer,
and no matter how cool it may be in August,
summer clothes must be worn until fall shall
actually set in. Thus oftimes suddenly and
with sad results we find ourselves approach
ing the condition OF the fishes and lizards
for the chill, that alert forerunner of disease
is ever ready in our climate, to take advan-
tage of circumstances.
We suppose that there are no people in the
world so Indifferent to the demands of the
weather-especialy cool weather-as the
Americans, and one reason of this is that
very many of us are ashamed to keep warm.
To wrap up and button up land to put down
windows whenever there is a chilling change
in the air, argues, to most minds, namby-
pamby eagerness to be well that is repugnant
to the hardy American soul. So, rather than
be laughed at, we shiver. We prefer tragedy
to comedy, the grave to the ridiculous.

The ScOld's Bride.

To the museum department of the public
library at Kentucky there came recently an
instrument of torture which reflects as much
disgrace on mankind as the rack, the wheel,
or any of those terrible machines which cru
city invented for its victims. 1t was a
''branch' or seold's bride, of the kind used
years ago in England and Scotland for the
punishment of females who were adjudged to
have made too free use of the tongue. 1t was
dugfrom the ground in our sister State of Ten
nessee, where, beneath the walls OF an unin-
habited building it had lain time out of mind.
1t bears the rust of years, and no doubt came
to this country with the earliest settlers. Pos
sbly some lord OF creation, who had scold-
ing wife in the old world, brought with him
to the new his vixatrix and instrument of
controlling her.
1t consists of an iron band to pass under
the chin and over the top part of the head.
with sharp, chisel shaped projection. OK,
tending two inches inwardly, to be inserted
into the mouth. 1t was held in its place Inv
another iron band, extending round the back
part OF the head and fastened with paddock.
When the instrument was thus put on the
scoid her tongue had to recede to the back
part Of her mouth and there remain quiet or
be cut to pieces by the sharp edge of the iron
put there for that purpose To scold or even
talk in this fix was impossible, and the wo-
man thus blidled had to keep silence.

New TESTIMONY TO THE Coon EFFECTS
OF WOMAN SUFFRvGE IN WYoMING.-Lara-
mie city is one of the most inviting in its ap-
pearance of all the new cities we have seen
since leaving Omaha, and the people are of
an excellent class One feels at home as soon
as he gets here, and no longer feels it so great
wonder that people are content to live
away out here among the Rocky mountains"
The fact is. since the opening of the Pacific
railroad this and the other places along its
line, once so far away, are now comparatively
near even to the dweller on the Atlantic
coast. There is one thing which perhaps ex-
plains the admirable condition of society in
Laramie City, Women vote in Wyoming
Territory and hold Office. They vote at the
same time and place as the men; and we are
told that there is no comntotion or confusion
at the polls. On the contrary, the highest
respect is shown by the men to the women
voters, and we are assured that if any one
should offer the slightest disrespect or insult
to woman at the polls he would be summa-
rily dealt with on the spot. Women act as
jurors, and one gentleman who was instru-
mental in bringing about this state of things
gave US an interesting account of the moral
influence which the women jurors hare ex-
erted over the steTner sex. 1t appears
that the women; mindful of their high duties,
and solemn responsibilities. endeavored to
prepare themselves Tor the work OF each day
by humbly seeking Divine assistance, by
prayers service which it was understood
was not specially observed by the men. The
result was, however, that in a short time all
the jurors began the duties of the day BY
Joining in the religious services of the morn
ing. Our informant also told us that west
ern man never brings forward the argument
that the voting by women is going to occasion
discord and unhappiness in the family. He
would be ashamed to thereby admit that he
was unwilling to have his wife hold opinions,
lest they might differ from lis own; and the
western man never brings forward the argu-
ment or statement that it is no place for women
at the polls, because of the vileness of the
place, or of the persons there assembled, for
he would be ashamed to thereby admit that
he or the masses of his sex are so low that
they are not fit to meet women in public
And so the woman question seems to be near
ly settled for the present in Wyoming, or at
least in Laramie City. / ought to add that
one happy result of the prominent place
which has been accorded to woman in Lara
mie has been TO entirely rid the place OF
drinking saloons, women of questionable
character, blacklegs, and the whole race of
prominent candidates for the prison and the
halter.-Letter to the Ne1 York Post.

man was nuisance. and she could be indict-
ed and punished by what was known as the
oucKing stool. This was kind of chair TO
Whlch the scold was fastened, and in which
she was then plunged into the water as often
as II was thought her offense deserved.
Ut flatt, who wrote history of Stafford
s, snlre, grew eloquent in his description of the

uucking stool. He said the ducking stool

fed doctors opinion, but was lust the thine
or the work to be done. e
In shape the Drank is not unlike the bridla
or halter used Tor mules in this country. The
striking difference is in the Drank beino on
tirely of iron, while the bride of the mule is
OF leather, except the bit. The English or
Scotch scold must have been a terrible ami
NAL to have required bride entirely of iron,
when it is known here that we can handle
mules with leathern halters.
We should like to have seen the English
man or Scotchman, or who ever he was, that
brought this instrument to our country. If
he was married man, and this machine was
used for his wife, he must have cut queer
figure with his Xantippe and her bride on
board the vessel that bore the precious pair
10 the new world. If he was an unmarried
man, and brought over the Drank with the
expectation of its necessity among American
women, it is to be hoped that he learned bet
ter before himself and instrument went be-
meath the ground
But there the instrument. the terrible
Drank, is in the museum of the public library,
where all may see it who wish. The strong
minded women ought especially to go and see
it, and arm themselves with new argument
against the trampled-down rights of women.
Surely the man who invented such an instru-
ment ought to have been made to wear it the
balance of mis- days; and it is strange to us, of
this age and country, how men could ever be
demons enough to torture women ia this
way, even if those women had voluble
tongues, and said a thousand and ole naugh-
ty things, none of which ought to have been
said.-LOuiSuille Courier-.JournnL.
