Implements of Punishment.

The question of the proposed abolition
of hogging in the British army and navy
has been thoroughly discussed in Parlia-
ment, and incidentally some of the in
struhents used for punishment in vari-
Gus countries were described by those
who had seen them. The Russians use
the plet, which has three lashes tipped
with small leaden balls, and the terrible
knout, which is q heavy leather thong,
about eight feet in length, attached to
handle two feet long, the lash being
about the breadth of a broad tape, curved
so as to give two sharp edges along its
entire length, and bound with wire
thread, the end terminating in a little
hook. The use of the knout frequently
causes death. The bamboo is the official
weapon in China, and the liability of
everybody in that country to feel it is
indicated by the following law: "Who-
ever shall observe line of conduct that
offends propriety, and that is contrary to
the spirit of the laws, even without any
special infraction of their enactments,
shall be punished by forty blows, or
eighty if the improperly be very great"
The bastinado was thus described by
member who had seen it inflicted: Two
men support between them a strong pole,
which is kept in a horizontal position;
about the middle of the pole are placed
some cords with two running nooses;
through these the naked feet Of the suf-
ferer are forced, and then made tight in
such manner that he soles of the Gull
prit are fairly exposed; the patient is
then thrown on his back with his feet in
verified, which are forthwith beaten by
third man with heavy stick.

Washington on Profanity.

One hundred years ago Gen. Wash
ington issued the following order on pro-
fame swearing. 1t is found in Boynton's
History of West Point:
"HEADQUARTERs MOoRE's HOUSE, .
WEST POINT, July 30, I779.
Many and pointed orders have b. EN-
issued against that unmeaning and abom-
Unable custom of swearing, notwithstand-
ing which, with much regret, the general
observes that it prevails, if possible,
more than ever; his feelings are continu-
ally wounded by the oaths and impreca-
tions of the soldiers whenever he is in
hearing of them.
THE name of that Being from whose
bountiful goodness we are permitted to
exist and enjoy the comforts of life is
necessarily imprecated and profaned in
manner as wanton as il is shocking. For
the sake, therefore, of religion, decency
and order, the general hopes and trusts
that officers of every rank will use their
influence and authority to check vice
which is as Improbable as it is wicked
and shameful.
6 If officers would make it an unavoid-
able rule to reprimand, and, if that does
not do, punish soldiers for offences of this
kind, it could not fell of having the de-
sired effect"

A Heavy Dose Of Poetry.

America would now say. The poet went
Immediately after a copy of 1.-The Prin-

poem was one Of his favOrites, he was
requested to read passages from it. MIR.
Summer, naturally embarrassed at being
asked to read pet poem before its
author, nevertheless complied, render
ing the text in his rich, deep, cultivated
tones. The poet sat uneasily for few
moments, then, seizing the book from
Mr.. Summers hand, said, "This is the
way The Princess should be read
and, commencing with the prologue, laid
the book down only when he had COM
pleted the lines:
" Last little Lillia, rising quietly,
Disrobed the statue OF Sir Ralph
From those rich silks, and home well pleased

The time occupied in the recitation was
Just five hours, during which time the
Senator dared look nowhere but at the
poet. At the expiration of the torture,
Mr.. Sumner rose quickly and babe his

Malaria Dlsarmed OF Its Terrors,

Malaria, that iell atmospheric poison, is ms
armed of its terrors, and health insured to
thousapds residing where the noxious eIhala-
ton periodically infects the air, and engonders
intermittent and remittent levers, by Hostet-
ter's Stomach Bitters, the most popular as it
is the best of preventives, alternatives and

mense, the hurtful alkaloid has been almost
entirely supplanted by this sale, agreeable and
effective substitute, which is genial in action
and unobectionable in flavor. 1t nullifies the
influence of miasma by giving more action

and onriching the blood, overcoming ten.

The COlors of the Season.

After the white muslin and gay pompa-
dour dresses, those of avery pale blue are
most used by young ladies. When made
of organdy they are of solid color and
richly trimmed with Breton lace; of less
expensive lawns or of batiste, they have
stripes or'arabesque tracerles of white in
the tiounces, and the basque and over
skirt are ornamented with Russian lace
in arabesque pattern. Prettier still are
the morning and afternoon dresses of pale
blue French bunting worn at the sea-
shore. Sometimes the entire short suit is
of the bunting, but in other cases there is
merely a panier polonaise over a black
velvet skirt. A Frenchy combination is
trimming of black and white striped
satin on a light blue French bunting,
which is fine as the incest camel's hair.
The skirt is short, with four plated
hounces covering the front and sides, and
sach flounce is edged with four-inch
plating of black and white stripes sewed
on perpendicularly. The coat opens over
striped vest that is seen only at the
throat and below the waist line. There
are also tabs of the striped silk in the
back. The deep turned-over collar is
shawl-shaped, and is also of the white
ard black mixture. The bouffant
drapery of the back is very high, and
curves in festoons to the foot. The hat
worn with this suit is rough straw
English turban of creamy white shade
The spreading brim is turned up all
around, and faced with the striped silk
q scarf of the same is around the crown,
and there are dropping white and black
ostrich plumes.
Gray and cardinal red are seen together
in some Of the most stylish costumes
For instance, a gray grenadine is trimmed
with lengthwise bands of cardinal satin
on the front of the lower skirt. The
short wrinkled apron of gray barege is
punched behind with red ribbons, and
the basque has shirred surplice drapery
on the front extending down to red
satin belt made up of folds.-Bazar.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
The Charm OF True Marriage.

Our advanced theories of divorce and
free love making the matrimonialr relation
merely a partnership TO be dissolved at
pleasure, whatever else may be said in
their favor, strike deadly blow mt an
element in il which was meant perhaps to
be supreme above allothers. What is the
sweetest charm of all true marriage, what
the greatest advantage, what the most
priceless happiness, take life through,
which it brings to the human heart? Not
the flush and splendor ofits early love; not
the richer development which it brings
to the character; not even the children
who are gathered around its shrine. No,
but the intimacy and reliability of
its companionship; the fact that it gives
those who enter in it, each in the other
and through all scenes and changes, near
and blessed standby. Marriage in some
of its aspects is doubtless the source of an
immense amount of unhappiness, crime,
injustice. blight and down dragging, one
of the most perplexing institutions society
has to deal with only the blindest senti-
mentalist will deny that. On the other
hand, however, and that is not mere SEN
timent but sober fact, of all the evidence
ofGod's goodness to be found in this lower
world, all the proofs that He cares for us,
not only with the wisdom of a Creator
but with the interest and love of Father,
there is none quite equal to his sending
human beings into the arena of life, not
to fight its battles, win its victories and
endure its sorrows alone, but giving
them, as they go forth out of their child
hoods home, relation in which each
two of them are bound together with the
closest of all ties, live together under the
same roof have their labors, their prop
erty, their interests, their parental affec-
tions all in common, and are moved to
stand by each other, hand to hand and
heart to heart, in every sorrow, misfor-
tune, trial and stormy day that earth can
bring 1t is an ideal, if not always real
lied in full, which is tasted even now,
amid all that is said about marriage mis-
cries, more widely perhaps than any other
appiness.-Su1dGy afternoon.
