The author Of this remarkable work has
had lifetime of practical experience in

the foremost OF living experts in this partic-

'Poquosin." or ''pocosin," is word Of
Indian origin. and its use, we believe, is

In rural England stocks are still to
be found. In 1905 an act was Iassed
compelling every village to set up a
pair OF stocks and every place which
did not possess them was considered
not town but mere hamlet.
The stocks at L ford are among the
few still well-preserved. The crimes
punished by Imprisonment in the
stocks were theft, drunkenness, gam
bling, Sabbath breaking and brawline.
If the persons incarcerated We're pop
ular, their plight was lessened by their
friends, who brought them food and
money, but if the malefactor was dis
liked he was pelted with eggs and all
sorts OF unsayory missiles. A modern
antiquarian was recently proving
around an Eng ish village and finding
the stocks, put himself in 10 see how
they worked He dill the job too well
and could not get cut. To passing

had TO stay in the stocks for some
hours Till his friends found hin.

sometimes young geese are secured,
