pain muskets and even heavy weights
were fastened to the legs
During the peninsular war there was
a punishment much used, called the
"strappado." It was Spanish in Its
origin and brutal in its torture. The
soldier was hoisted up by means OF a
rope fastened to his arms behind his
back. and then suddenly dropped with
a jerk, by which process his shoulder
Joints were sometimes dislocated.
A form of punishment known as
"bottling," or "cold burning, was
dreaded by the men more than any 9TH
er. 1t consisted in tying the offenders
hand, palm uppermost, so that it was
held quite motionless, and then allow
ing water to fall upon it, drop by drop
from a height of five feet. The pain
caused in this way is said to have been
80 intolerable that the strongest men
tainted away under its infection
In the whole history Of military pun
ishments fogging takes the first place.
Its earliest form was known as run
ming the gantlet." The offender was
stripped naked to the waist and driven
slowly through the ranks Of his regi
ment, each man of whom had been arm
ed with q stout rattan In front OF the
prisoner marched a file of the guard,
stepping slowly backward and holding
their bayonets pointed to the culprit' 8
breast in order to make him take the
regulation step.
In 100 an English army regulation
made mention, for the first time, of the
"cat." This terrible weapon Of torture
was made Of nine leather thongs motted
near the end and fastened to q handle
about 10 inches long. Every stroke
brought blood, and when a man was
sentenced to receive ~ lashes 1t was
equivalent to nine times that number
and his back was one mass Of bleeding
scars.
For grave offenses, such as mutiny or
desertion, the "cat" was used with such
violence that death often ensued.
The Twenty eighth foot was called for
half a century the 'flogging regiment, "
and it well earned its distinction, II a
sergeant, writing in 1906 from Bremen,
is to be believed. He says that in the
regiment from 10 to 20 men were fog
ged daily.
Sir Charles Napier tells OF a colonel
of the Fiftieth regiment who ordered a
man to be flogged because he did not
stand steady on parade after a previous
hogging. MY back is like a piece OF
raw beef, sir after the last 80 you gave
me, and can't bear the weight Of my
pack" Take another so, then, " re-
torted the brutal officer, land see if it
will do your back any good. "
These horrible tortures were inflicted
ON the private soldiers up to q recent
date. In 1879 the writer had "cat'
exhibited in the English parliament
which caused the death Of a soldier a
few months prior to that date, --Green

A cat may look at tho king. but there
the License stops. 1t is not permissible
to laugh in the face Of royalty. The
gentlemen of the Philadelphia Produce
Exchange who, with their ladies, re.
Gently enjoyed a pleasant excursion to
Washington, are no exceptions to this
rule, which seems to apply to all royal
personages, regardless Of color. FIX
Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii still con-
siders herself royal parsonage, and
she maintains small court about her
in her apartments in the Ebbitt House,
at Washington. Every evening after
dinner she repairs to the public parlor
of the hotel and holds informal recep-
tons She is glad to meet all, especial
ly American gentlemen, who care to
shake hands with her and chat about
her country.
Among those Of the Produce Ex-
change party who took the opportunity
of meeting her last week were James d.
Ferguson, president of the exchange,
and several ladies Of his party. They
chatted with the ex-queen for few
minutes, and then moved off to a dis
tant corner Of the parlor and soon after
forgot all about her. They were talking
over one Of the amusing events Of the
day, the recollection Of which prompted
the ladies to laugh rather heartily. In
stantly the ex-queen's dusky secretary
stalked across the floor, and scowling
upon the party demanded, "What for
you laugh at my queen" The ladies
were astounded. you're mistaken, "
said Mr.. Ferguson. 1--WE were not laugh
ing at your queen. Eyes; you laugh
at my queen" persisted the secretary.
The queen herself looked very angry.
Mr.. Ferguson and his party left the
room, and then they did laugh at the
queen and her henchman.-Philadel-

One of the favorite methods of cor

victim was suspended by the wrist to
an iron ring let into wall or high

Thus the whole weight Of the body was
thrown either upon the bare heel or up

was extreme.
In moment Of demoniac cruelty

The Inauguration of officers and teach
ers of the Sabbath school last Sabbath
morning was very impressive service.
Everybody was delighted with the
singing of Prof. Grinnell and family at
the Sunday evening service.
There will be preaching at Lone Star

at Old Hamlin at 800 p. m.
Services next Sabbath morning will
commence at 10:45 instead of II o'clock.
The service will be especially for those
who have recently come into the church
at which time the sacrament of the
Lords supper will be administered.
Easter will be observed not only by
the communion service in the morning
but by appropriate service in the even
ing.
Since the coming of the present pas
tor fifty-one persons have been admitted
into the church and very liberal gifts
have been made to the missionary causes
of the church. The recent offerings have
exceeded $4,000.

Teachers Meeting.

Report Of teachers meeting held at the ONCE
of the County Superintendent April 2, 1898:
Meeting was called to order by the president.
No papers were read but the subjects, as an.
nOunced, were discussed. The following are
some OF the important points brought out by
different teachers: Promotion in lower grades
in country schools should be based on reading;
that of the higher grades, on grammar ana
practical part of arithmetic.
Suggestions for requiring habits OF punctu-
ality-plan of dsmissing early on Friday alter
noon as reward for punctuality; reading Oh
DRY to the school; and performing expert
ments before the school. Evils resulting from
want of acknowledgement shiftlessness ana
lack of punctuality in after life.
That the selection of teachers should be gov
erned by their merits, certificates qualifications,
and experience-in short, by the competency
and efficiency of the teachers.
That the recitation is OF great value In teach
ing pupils how to express their thoughts by the
use of correct language; in teaching them 10
cultivate habit of giving attention; and in
widening the child's views.
The greatest need of the rural schools is the
cooperation of parents and teacher.
The dictionary should be used to determine
the pronunciation. meaning and derivation OF
words. Teachers could secure the use OF it by
having pupils find, for themselves, the meaning
ana pronunciation of the words in their lessons
with which they are not familiar; and by pre-
pairing lists of words that are not in their les
sons, and distributing them to the pupils
requiring them to be prepared to give the def
milton and pronunciation of them at the next
recitation.
The attendant at each session of the meeting
was good. Another meeting OF the teachers
will be held at Audubon, May 81, 1893.
