WHIPPING IN ENGLAND.
A Mode of Punishment Practiced as Lat
August, 1917.

"A MOue OF IuntSnmenC IractIceu Late
as August, 1917.
When Lander referred to the ''naked
haunch" he was evidently indulging
poetic license. as persons VIXEN whipped
were only stripped from the waist up
ward, SO that the haunch would not be
exposed to the stern beadle's whip"
That women were whipped at the whip
ping post and the carts tail is positive
fact. Women of all ages suffered, from
the girl of sixteen to the woman of
sixty. and the practice of whipping
them only ceased in 1917, when it was
abolished by George w., cap. 81. II
women of the middle class escaped whip
ping, it was no doubt due to the fact that
they but rarely committed the offenses
for which women of the lower orders
were punished, otherwise they would
have been equally amendable, as there
does not appear to have been any statu-
tory exception in their favor; indeed, it
seems more than probable that MANY
women of the middle class were
whipped, when we remember that whip
pings were inflicted upon women no,
only for crime but for being insane
and having the smallpox. Whether
Hannah Smell was whipped or not am
unable to say. but if she really existed
and was in the army, l should think it
quite likely that she was, and under GER
tain circumstances, the whipping NIGH
have been carried out without her sex
being discovered. In the army fog
ging was performed by fastening the
soldier up triangle, and in the
navy by lashing the sailor to
grating and then flogging the
bare back with cat-o-nine- tails. Ward.
in 1.-The London Spy" tells us that in
Bridewen both men and women were
whipped upon their naked backs before
the Court of Governors The presiden,
sat, with hammer in hand like a
Change broker at L1oyd-s coffee house
when selling goods by inch of Candle. :"
and the whipping only ceased when the
hammer fell. In the Journal of the
mayor of Penzance for 1Sl6-17 | find the
following entries respecting whipping:
July "a, 1917, William Trewhella pub
licly whipped in the open market and
round the market, according to his SEN
tence, for stealing sacks with corn.
August %, nine Migrants taken up last
night, severely reprimanded and ordered
to be drummed out of town by the con-
stables. and if found here again to be
whipped. Francis Peard, of Portsmouth.
ordered to be whipped out of town.

An Age Devoted to the Culture OF Dress
and Pastimes.
# was the fashion to laugh at the
rusticity of country squires and to vote
rural sports vulgar. Among the middle
classes tastes were narrowly lnsular,
and the travelled wit only returned to
town fop and fribble. without
political interests, country pursuits or
artistic tastes, the fashionable world
concentrated its attention upon anuse-
ment or upon dress. Society crleo IN
real earnest with the sarcastic nWlIG:
"Vave Ia BagatetSef" Early rising was
not the vogue: Belinda wakes at twelve

was spent both by men and women In an
elaborate toilet. The young man OF

street near the court, like Fan

Mall or the Ring to exhibit his new
sword-knot, show the height of his
toupee. select a beauty for the even
ing's toast or feed the ducks IN the
canal and "Rosamunda'S pond" Dressed
for the park, he wore full-buttomed
Duviller wig, and carried under his left
arm his lowfelt hat, Topped or cooked,
according to taste, and edged with sill
yer. Round his neck was tied the Ber-
dash or Steinkirk neck-cloth of Mechlln
lace, probably busted with snuff, and
he wore his WaiStcOat unbOttoned al
the top to show the fineneSS of his ruff
fed Holland shirt. His embroidered or
brocaded suits, with silk stockings to
match, were of various colors. His shoes
had high red heels. The tails of his
coat were stiffened with wire to display
the silk lining. From button of his
coat hung his foxskin mutf; at his side
tangled his sword. With one hand he
PLAYED with his clouded cane, which
was suspended from his right wrist by
blue ribbon. and trailed tremendously
upon the pebbles in the other hand he
carried his fringed gloves and one of his
numerous snuff-boxes. The dress of the
lady was equally elaborate. When she
exchanged her mob, morning gown, and
handkerchief for full dress and the
park, she appeared in laced bodice,
worn open in front over tight
stays, sarmounted, after Addison's
circumstances, by the tucker of
modesty. Her sleeves were shortened
so as to show the lace hslgings, which
fell to the wrist. Her apron covered
but tiny portion of the rich brocaded
petticoat, which was distended upon
the German hoop-a huge rotunda, such
as that which was brought into the
Specta tors Court of Judicature. AS the
bodice descended the petticoats rose
and revealed the bright stockings of
thread or silk. which terminated in
beautiful y-worked shoes of embroider-
ed satin or morocco leather. In nothing
were the fashions more changeable than
in the height of the headdress Addi-
son remembered it, rise and fall above

DON'T.

Don't check the children's laughter
Don't stop their noisy play;
Don't cloud one joyous pleasure
AS through the livelong day
Light hearts ring wild and happy
With childhood's merry tune
Don't speed the coming sorrow
That takes its place too soOni
Don't carry blue face with you
At eve, as home we stray,
Where loving, leal hearts lingeP
To drive your cares away;
Remember, there's one waiting
Through trials tried and true
With all in all dependent
On the little things you do.
Don't scold the bird for singing,
And hang him in the shade;
Nor seek to clad in somber
The dream bright song has made
Don't close without the window
The mornings rosy gleam-
Its brilliant rays, so sunny,
w make home brighter seem.
Don't scorn the little Arab
You pass upon the street,
In livery torn and tattered,
With bare, blue boyhoods feet;
Perchance the whirl of fortune
That-in strange ways unknown
Yet, makes him money magnate,
May make Arabs of your ownl
Don't grudge word in kindness
To the stranger passing by
Nor give to wan and weary
But compassion's paltry sigh;
Perchance the rule that's golden
viii teach, in lesson, too,
What meant the humble Master
We should to others do.
