The most noteworthy of all the in
struments designed for the correction
Of Ewes offending daughters was the
ducking stool, known as the tumbrel
and the trebuchet. A post, across
which was a transverse beam turning
on a swivel and with a chair at one
end, was set up on the edge of a pond.
Into the chair the woman was chained,

> An amusing scene was witnessed one
day on n OF the mail boats running
from Calais to Dover. The sea was
rather rough. A young woman, pretty
and nicely dressed, appeared to be sud
denly taken very III with se%asickness.
She groaned and screamed In apparent
Rgony for some little time.
At length a person who appeared to
be a stranger to her approached and
asked whether she would like - take
a lOzenge, which he guaranteed would
ease her pain. He had often tried It,
he said, on people and always with the
most marvellous results. The young
lady demurred a little at first, but
nnally accepted the offer Never was
cure so instantaneous. Hardly had she
swallowed the lozenge than the fair
patient was sitting up all smiles and
ordering ham sandwiches Of the stew
ard.
Some passengers were so struck
with the incident that they inquired
what was the remedy that had had
such a wonderful result, and the gem
tleman, who, as he said, was the agent
for the sale of the lozenges, disposed
of a considerable number of boxes Of
them at 10 francs apiece. What was
the surprise OF the purchasers when
they saw the young lady and her pre-
server go of arm in arm on the vessel
reaching Dover! The boxes contained

believed In England we were fond OF
fox hunting.
My friend. regarding II as a broad
hint to change the subject, assented.
"And may / ask" said his compan-

give up hunting?' And on getting the
only possible answer to such n ques-
tion lie added. Il have had a bad fall.
and no mistake. but l count on better
luck another time"
This case Is thoroughly typical. The
true professional Is not n weak crea-
ture who yields to uncomfortable i'm.
pulse. Loving a life Of adventure and
having n soul above working for his
living. he pursues n life OF crime with
n full appreciation of It's risks.
Change those risks to c%ertalntles, and
you at once supply n motive adequate
to influence his course. II every fox
hunter ended by breaking his neck, fox
hunting would be Stunned, save by a
few desperate men. and the same
would be true Of professional crime OF
