For refusing TO plead rs some men did
10 save their estates from confscation, they
were bound down and pressed to death by
weights successfully added and placed on
their chests. The only instance in America
was that OF Giles Cory. the husband OF n
reputed WITCH in Massachusetts In lGg2

before the tribunal organized To convict
him, determined to save his property for
his children and so refused TO plead Al
though No years OF age, he stood the torture
for several days, and by his heroic example

Burning 20 death was for ages the com

so frequently was II applied that Barring
ton says that In England alone during the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries not less
than 5000 persons were burned To death for
witchcraft alone, to say nothing OF those tho
suffered the same punishment for unnat

aud In less than three months over 500 un

conceive Of any prolonged torture that has
not been inflicted, and In many cases skilled

Some persons" said promenader,
seem inclined to make sport of the young
man who carries his cane by the middle
with the head downward My own impress
sion Is that 1t is reasonable and sensible
practice Some people carry canes and UNI
brellas horizontally under their arms, and
some swing them about thoughtlessly To
the danger and discomfort of others There
are many, however, who carry their canes
carefully in vertical position by their
sides, and next TO these, so far as the public
safety il concerned, l shoald certainly class
the young man who carries his cane by the
middle. There Is little To fear from cane
so carried for usually its head or crook is
heavy enough TO bring the cane on line
that is nearer vertical than horizontal, and
IL is almost certain to be carried steadily in
one position and not fiourished about

Now, in GUNNER is the storage time for
health, and girls need to be looked after
kindly to make the most of their yaca-
tons for strength and beauty. Strange
we never think Of strength as factor Of
beauty, when it is the main one. Force
Of the heart sends the blood freely
through all the fine capillaries of the
skin, so that waste and repair are carried
briskly on, with the result Of a clear,
brilliant complexion. A skin in good
working order throws off the hundred
frets and ails of duller systems, and its
reaction fees it from freckle, blotch and
pimple The strong digestion uses what
is sent it to good purpose, and does
not make obstruction of its cereals or 20
acrid over new potatoes and brown
gravy.
A girl with rich complexion will be
able to ride, walk, dance or work far bet
ter than pasty faced creature who has
hardly vitality enough to carry ON her
internal economy. The beauty may not
be used to work. but the ability il there
to be developed, and all the better for
the preservation of her looks If she trains
1t to use. Strength and nerve are the
foundations of beauty.-Shirley Dara.
