Pressed to Death.

In early times it was considered that
criminals accused OF felony could not be
properly tried unless they consented to
the trial by pleading and putting them
selves on the country. After reading
the Indictment to him the question was
put: '.How say you-are you guilty or
not guilty?" If he said Not guilty."
the next question was: ..Culprt, how
will ycu be tried:" To which the pris-
oner had to answer: "By God and my
country" If he willfully omitted
either portion of that answer he was
said to stand mute, and jury was
sworn to say whether he stood mute of
malice or mute by the visitation of God.
If they found him mute of malice, that
was equivalent to pleading guilty in
cases of treason or misdemeanor; but in
cases of felony he was condemned.
after much exhortation, to the peine
forte Ell dltre-t that is. TO be stretched
naked on his back, and TO have iron laid
upon him, as much as he could bear.
and more. and so TO continue, fed upon
bad bread and stagnant water on alter
nate days. till he either pleaded or died.
This strange rule was not abolished till
the year l772, wheE standing mute in
cases of felony was made equivalent to
q conviction. A case actually occurred
as late as 1926. when one Burnwater,
accused at Kingston aSsizes of murder,
refused to plead, and was pressed for
an hour and three-gnarters with nearly
four hundred weight of iron, after which
he pleaded not guilty and was convicted
and hanged. In 1868 a Major Strange
ways was pressed to death. The object
of refusing to plead was that, as in tilat
case there was no conviction, no forfeit
ure took place, and the property Of the
accused person was thus preserved for
his heir.-BIacEsco0ds Magazine.

The Boy Who "Knew a Thing OF

only son, .'you are in bad company.

"You needn't be afraid of me.

how far to 90 and when to stop"
The lad left his father house twirling
his cane in his fingers and laughing at
the :. old mans notions"
A few years later and that lad, grown
to manhood, stood at the bar of a court
before jury which had just brought in
a verdict of guilty against him for some
crime in which he had been concerned.
Before he was sentenced he addressed
the court, and said among other things:
My downward course began in disobe-
dience' to my parents. Thought knew
as much of the world as my father did,
and spurned his advice; but as soon
as turned my back on my home,
temptation came upon me like a drove

How Maurice Tried COasting.

Maurice Kittredge is little boy eight
years old. He lives in the Sandwich
Islands, where it is warm, and where
the grass grows all the year around.
Maurice has never seen any real snow
or a real sled. but he had seen pictures,
and he thought he could make sled.
So one day he went into the shed by
himself, and was busy a long time with
hammer, some nails, and some old
boards At last his mother, who was
sitting on the veranda with her sewing,
heard a rough noise on the floor. Then
she saw Maurice coming along drag
ging something behind him.
'.What would you call this, mammal"
said he. His mamma looked at it a
good while, and then she said she
thought it might be sled. :
Eyes" said Maurice, sit is" He
was very much pleased that his mother
had guessed right.
''But where are you going to coast?"
asked his mother.
81 do not know" said Maurice, rath-
er sadly, 'unless take the front stairs"
His mother thought that two or three
round trips would spoil the stair carpet.
But she said if he really wished it, he
might try the front door-steps.
1t had been raining, and the steps
were quite slippery. Maurice started
bravely down. He sat firmly on the
sled, held on the rope, and then down
he went, bump, bump, bump, to the
ground. There was seven steps in all.
Just then his father went by and stop
ped to watch him.
''Don't you find it rather hubby,
Maurice?" asked he, with smile But
Maurice did not give up till he had gone
down the steps good many times.
Once he fell off, but he was too brave to
cry. When his father came in to din
ner he asked Maurice what he thought
of coasting.
pooh" said Maurice. 81 don't think
much of it. / have tried it now. and l

him with new courage. With deep

cred all his remaining strength and
pushed boldly for the shore.
The group there had grown strange
ly silent. They were all standing close
together, anxiously watching. Not a
sound was heard. Nearer and nearer
he came. The water grew less and
less deep. Home and safety seemed
almost certainty. Suddenly the group
on the shore broke into loud cheer,
which reached the anxious mothers

Laurence was hero; for long
time after that everybody was speaking
of his courage and bravery. Boy-like,

to say:

text, but had never seen such useful ex-

in which sinful soul may repent. Au-
thorities on this point seem to be
strangely mixed.-N. T. Sun.

Shall center gladly-far beyond all thought
And He, the Lamb-Who from all evil

A Preeocions Boy.

The most precocIous boy lives in this
city, or was alive at last accounts. He
is less than eight years old. but was
ordered to the House of Refuge as in

pect and resolved to end his miseries by
committing suicide. With his teeth, a
pin and piece of wire he tore hole
in his arm until an artery was reached
and the blood spurted out. This was
discovered and the arm bandaged, but
when left alone again the boy tore of
the compress and re-opened the wound.

Handling Bees.

After we have procured our stock of
bees, it is essential to know how to
handle them, be they Italian. black or
hybrid. To the practical hand it is no
task to open a hive and Ego through
it. as bee-men say. But to the novice
it looks like great undertaking to
open hive with its thousands of sting
ers that seem each and every one ready
to pass out and plant themselves where
they will do the most good. Now, the
secret is this Bees when filled with
honey are not inclined to sting unless
they are squeezed. To cause them to
fill themselves with honey it is only
necessary to brighten them and they
will rush to save their most valuable
property. Closing the entrance and
rapping upon the side of the hive few
minutes, or blowing smoke into the en-
trance or down among them from the
top will make them load up and be do
cile. But the actions of the person
have much to do with it also; it almost
seems as though bees know a person
who is afraid than. In going to hive
and opening it make slow, deliberate
motions, and keep your hands away from
your face, unless put there slowly. I
have known many persons to be stung
by quickly throwing their hands up to-
their face when an angry bee came
around. the bee taking it as challenge
to fight. First, get good bellows
smoker to begin with, fire it UP with
dry, rotten wood; approach the hive
from the side to be out of the way of
the flying bees, and give one or two
strong puffs at the entrance. Wait q
minute or two for this to have effect,
then move the cap with as little jar as
possible, remove the quilt or honey
board as carefully, blowing little
smoke as YOU do SO, and give the bees
a little time TO fill themselves with
honey. The little fellows will be seen
with their heads stuck in the cells, lap
ping away for dear life.
Now, make slow motions, pry the
frames over with as little jar as can be.
and while looking at the combs keep
the breath from striking the bees too
much, or Won will think you have been
struck with hot poker. Patience and
practice will soon give the novice con-
fidenee But do not abuse your power
and smoke the poor bees out of the
hives, as have seen some do; usually
three or four puffs from the smoker ara

Forcing a Gambler to Disgorge.

81 had rather unusual experience
in recovering money from gamblers, for
a client of mine, not long ago." said a
young lawyer recently. HE had been
on long debauch when he called on
me. and showed the effect of it. He
told me that he had lost S1,145 in
a gambling-hOuse in Barclay street
the night before, which had been
loaned to him for a specific purpose,
and he wanted me to get it back for
him. Well, went to the gam cling
house, and by waiting until regular
visitor went in managed to slip in with
out being challenged by the coiored
Waterman at the door. Approaching
the person who was running the game
l gave him my business card, and told
him what my client had lost, and quiet
ly but firmly remarked that was de-
termined it should come back without
fuss. offered to give him an oppor-
tunity to identify his victim at my office
on the following day. Both gambler
and client were on hand at the hour
named. My worthy client was still
drunk.
AFTER some threats and parleying
on both sides, the gambler admitted
that he had won 5000 from my client.
The latter, in turn, admitted to me
not in the hearing of the gambler
that he was drunk at the time he lost
his money, and could not swear wheth-.
er he had lost fifty cents or $500. 1
then gave the gambler his choice of
paving over the money which he adj
mitted winning or of standing the legal
consequences. and he promptly paid
over to me 5000 in cash. My client took
the money, and in hopes of recovering
the sum originally lent him, went West.
Reaching Pittsburgh at the height of the
oil excitement. he invested his recovered
money in oil-and lost every cent of it, -
