The Duckine stool Tn Engl.na.

1t is interesting to conjure up pic
ture of "ducking' as practiced in
England at the end of the eighteenth
century.
When the ''scold" had been properly
tried and convicted, she was escorted
by crowd Of her neighbors-in fact,
by the whole village-to the nearest
pond-and the greener and Sinner the
pond the better. A long plank was
produced, at one end of which was the
"ducking STOOL" and in this the scream
Ing, struggling victim was securely pin
toned.
The chair end Of the plank was then
pushed far over the edge Of the pond,
and at signal it was tilted deep into
the green ooze until the scold was COM
pletely immersed.
When the dripping, half drowned
woman was raised to the surface
again. to the jeers and laughter of the
onlookers, 1t can be imagined that her
tongue wagged to some purpose. After
a second dose she emerged more sub
dued, and after third or fourth she
was as penitent woman as the vii
lage contained and was allowed to
proceed home a sadder and wiser wo-
man-until the next time. - London

McClure's for September.

The September issue of McClure's
Magazine contains, among several ar
ticles, the concluding paper of Lieut..
Commander James G. Gillmore's IA
Prisoner among the Filipinos." The
author describes in detail the means by
which he dissuaded a Filipino general
from executing the entire party, the
way in which the illness of a Tagal
officer prevented the slaughter of his
prisoners, how Filipino lieutenant on
seeing crucifix disobeyed orders and
thereby enabled them to escape being
put to death, and how the band was at
last rescued by American troops from
bloodthirsty armed savages. The mar
rative reads like page from Robinson
Crusoe. The illustrations by w. r.
Leigh are spirited and life-like.

How to Roast wiId Duck.

After the bird has been plucked and
drawn cut off the head and turn the
skin over. The feet should be left on
and the bird trussed like a tame duck.
The fire should be brisk, and the bird
should not be basted for about 10 min
utes after it is put to the fire. Then
basic it well with butter and dredge
with -four few minutes before it is
taken up to froth it. 1t should be
served with very hot good beef gravy
well favored with onion to take off the
fishlike taste of the wild duck. 1t will
take from three-quarters of an hour to
an hour to roast.

The official report, it was assert ed. did not warrant the statement that the insurgents were becoming active and were massing in various parts of Luzon to an extent which greatly concerned oW generals. The situation. it was said, did not warrant the sending of more troops to the islands for the present, at least.
