The Whipping Post In Boston.

Alice Morse Earle, in an article On
"Punishments of Bygone Days." found
in The Chapbook, after giving John Tay-
lor the Water Poets rhymed descrip-
tions of corporal punishment in London,
explains how rapidly dogging came into
use in Boston:
The whipping post was speedily in
full force in Boston. At the session of
the court held Nov. 80, 1880. one man
was sentenced to be whipped for steal
ing loaf of bread, another for shooting
fowl on the Sabbath, another for swear
ing, another for leaving q boat with
out a pylott." Then we read Of John
Pease that for "stryking his mother and
deryding her he shalbe whipt."
Lying, swearing. taking false toll.
perjury, selling rum to the Indians all
were punished by whipping. Pious re-
gard for the Sabbath was fiercely upheld
BY the support Of the whipping post. In
164S. Roger Scott. for repeated Sleep
ing on the Lords day." and for strik-
ing the person who walked him from his
goddess slumber, was sentenced to be &C.
verely whipped. Women were not
spared in pubic ohastisement. "The
gift Of prophecy" was at once subdued
in Boston by lashes. as was unwomanly

To Grow Teeth.

A Moscow dentist has solved the
problem of supplying the human mouth
with false teeth which will grow into
the gums as firmly as natural ones. DR..
Zamensky has performed several sue
cessful operations on dogs as well as
human beings. The teeth are made OF
gutta percha, porcelain or metal, as the
case may be.
At the root Of the false tooth holes
are made. Holes are also made upward
into the jaw. The tooth is then placed
in the cavity. In a short time soft.
granulated growth finds its way from
the patients jaw into the holes in the
tooth. This growth gradually hardens
and holds the tooth in position.
1t is stated that it does not matter
whether the cavity in which the tooth
Is to be placed is one from which nat
ural tooth has been recently drawn or
whether it has been healed for some
years. rs.-Moscow Letter.

uur roreraIhers' BOOKS.

In the course of some remarks at the
London dinner to Poynter, the acad-
emy's president, Conan Doyle said: 1T
is difficult now to realize the avidity
with which our forefathers fell upon a
good, solid book. For them there were
no book stalls crammed with cheap lit
erature, no little pirating magazines,
containing the looted spoils of dozen
goodly books. Consequently they had
time to absorb book, SO that it be-
came part of their mind and soul. We
could not put back the clock and make
books rarer We would not if we could.
But it would not be bad thing now
and again if we went into a retreat for
a month or year and swore off all
ephemeral literature and turned back to
the classics of our language"
