It Was Once Used to Cure scolding Womer

1t Was Once Used to Cure Scolding Women.
London Telegraph.
1t is seldom that a Drank" Is to be
seen in the auction room, but Messrs.
Sotheby & Wilkinson have one on
view. Advocates of women's rights
may be disposed to regard it rs a relic
of the very dark ages, for Il Drank
is a gag for scolds. When a gentleman
of the sixteenth century fell a victim
to a woman's tongue he promptly
locked up her jaws-literally-in an
iron stall, which enclosed the head Of
the wearer, into whose mouth a sharp
gag was thrust. This gentle instru-
ment OF correction has a short chain
attached, suggesting that the yiragO
having been e~ffectually silenced, was
chained up by her lord and master.
The ''brank' appears to have taken
its name from thedutch word %pranghe,
the yoke of a plll0ry. 1t was in use
in Scotland, as well as in many parts
of England. In the same collection
is a small leathcrn powder flask with
a brass nozzle, which was given by
the Governor of Newgate to a Mr..
Coward, and subsequently became the
property of Charles Keene. The flask
is interesting because it once belonged
to Jonathan Wild, the notorious thief
maker and thief-taker.

the restaurant keepers. Then Head
Waiter Lee, colored man of husky
build, started in pursuit. He caught
up with the hilarious sports when they
were half way to Monroe street.
When he attempted to assert his
right of possession to the alliga-
tor a free fight followed. In five sec
onds the party of four, with the al
ligator underneath, were lying at the
bottom of a stairway, struggling and
kicking. In the meantime the crowd
had increased in proportions until the
street was blOckaded and the street
cars were tied up in a long line. Il
was hard to tell which side would
come ont victorious. From the dark
hole in the stairway came vOlleys of
oaths and an occasional yell while the
tail of the alligator would dimly be
seen raining blows on friends and foes.
The unusual excitement, and the
great number Of people even for a
Clark street crowd. at last attracted
the attention of a half dozen police
men. With much labor they forced
their way to the scene of the battle.
Officer Quinton bravely rushed into the
pit, but one swish of the tail of the al
HgatOr caused him to beat retreat.
Reinforced by a half dozen brothers he
again made the descent, and finally
succeeded in disentangling the men
from the reptile. Conway was made
to carry his prize back and deposit it
in the tank, and then bleeding, but
sober, he was led off to the Harrison
street station.

Such was Mrs. Browns experience
the other afternoon. She had been out
shopping and when she returned home
about $3.50 o'clock she heard strange
noises in one of the rooms upstairs.
Certain that she had locked all the
doors before going away. she concluded
a burglar was in the house, and i'm
mediateIy laid plans for his capture.
As quietly as possible she directed
her thirteen-year-old daughter to go to
the corner drug store and telephone
for policeman. Then she saw that
all the doors and windows were secure
" locked. Then she went upstairs,
taking along siX-shoOter, which she
concealed in the folds of her dress.
Several rooms were explored without
success when finally Mrs. Brown got
sight of the head of a man beneath a
bed. Neither spoke word. There
was no use for argument or pariey.
The lady's revolver had been brought
into play and the burglar dared not
move. Five minutes elapsed and Mrs.
Brown was still on guard
Meanwhile officers from the Shelf
field avenue station We're hurrying to
the house and just about the time the
lady was considering the real danger
of her position they entered tbs room
and dragged Jones from his hiding
place.
Searching Jones. the officers found
that he had a revolver. which lie had
feared to use, bunch of skeleton keys
and number of articles he had col
lected in the Brown residence. Justice

Recently the life-boat society at
Cronstadt received news that toward
the south shore of the Gulf Of Fin
land, about 80 miles from Cronstadt,
some 200 fishermen and peasants, with
their horses and sleighs, had been
suddenly carried out to sea on large
ice foe, which had been detached APP
parently by q recent storm. The ice
cutting boats at Cronstadt were laid
up for the winter, and could not be
used. Twenty sailors, however, with
two officers and assistant surgeons,
were dispatched over the ice with two
life boats on runners, and similar par
ty started to the rescue from Gran
lenbaum, on the other side of the
mouth OF the Neva. The lat, ST tele
grams from Cronstadt state that the
fishermen and others have been
found, and all rescued by means OF
bridge made of poles and planks,
which was thrown out from the firm
ice. They had been cut off from the
mainland for at least 48 hours, during
the latter part Of Which provisions
were passed over to them by the in
habitants of the nearest shore.

The Unrepresented.

At q recent meeting Of the WOman's
Suffrage league Mrs. Lille Devereux
Blake, the interchangeable speaker, made
the important address of the evening"
and delivered as it was, in simple con-
versational manner, touched by much
humor, it was really quite effective. In
plain fashion Mrs. Blake catalogued the
practical grievances of the nonvoting
woman. They had to make their ivings
like men in many cases, and offices they
could fill equally well were closed to
them. When they were permitted to do
the same work as men, they received
less pay, although frequently admit
ted to be the superior employees. Wom-
en- teachers, however capable, received
less than men. In the Washington de-
partments they had no salaried equality
with the men, although constantly
found more efficient. Here in New Y ork
a shopgirl got So a week where a man
got SO, and she herself had seen this
same half paid girl teaching the man
his business. Why was all this? Because
women couldn't vote.
The legislature would further be
shown the millions in property owned
by women, and it would this year, if
ever, be borne in upon them that taxa
ton without representation was cruel
and unjust. Many persons, Mrs. Blake
said, urged that wOman's place was at
home She fully agreed with them it
was, but in so far as voting was con-
cerned one might as well say that man
could not vote because he had business
in his Office as that woman could not do
so because she had duties i'll the nurs
cry. Voting should not clash with do
mesticity any more than with business
progress. Mrs. Blake dwelt favorably

LOIcnCula,

Dr.. Carnegie, the missionary, says Lo-
bengula wished to enjoy some fruits of
civilization while rejecting many others.
He tolerated the presence Of a few mis-
sionaries because they brought him good
things from Europe that he coveted, but
he would do absolutely nothing to help
them. A word from him would have
filed their schools with children, but he
would not give it. The people believed
he was all powerful. 1t was he who
brought the rain and abundant harvests.
Their teeming gardens and abundance
of beer and cattle exhibited the mighty
power Of the king and his mindfulness
of their wants. An encouraging word
from him would have done wonders for
the missionaries, yet when they asked
him to send them children to teach he
would not lift finger to help them.
When Carnegie was about to go home,
he asked the king what he should tell
the white people about him, seeing that
he had been so Indifferent to the prog
ress of missionary work The king re,
piled, ''You will tell them what you
have seen. "
It was probably as well for Loben-
gula that he died when he did. His PEG,
pie forced him into the war, believing
that he was invincible. His overwhelln-

him as the great wonder worker of the
tribe, a father who by his supernatural
power could always protect his people.
He could never have been king again. -
