The Camphor Eater.

It is surprising what a number Of
camphor eaters there are among the
well to do classes. The idea seems to
prevail that this gum, taken in small
and regular doses, gives a peculiarly
clear creaminess of complexion, and
scores of young women buy it for this
purpose. The habit is, moreover, very
difficult to cast off, for camphOr pro-
duces a mild form of exhilaration and
gtupefaction, and in many instances
where very large doses have been swal-
lowed the habit has become a sort of
slavery.
These camphor eaters all have a
dreamy, dazed and very Iistless air,
and in most of them there is an ever
present longing to sleep or at least to
rest. Extreme weakness generally fol-
lows the taking of regular doses, and l
have seen cases where it has been al
most difficult to tell the effects from
those Of alcohol. AS to the complexion,
if a CHASTITY pallor be an improvement
camphor certainly produces it-Clinic.

When s.PIuck,, was Slang.

The word pluck affords another in

words in the course of time become
adopted into current English. We now
meet with pluck and ''plucky'' as the
recognized equivalents of courage"

Walter SCOTS Journal shows that in
1927 the word had not yet lost it's low

Riding the wooden Horse.

Torture on a grand scale went out
with FELTON,, the assassin of Bucking-
ham, but torture on a small scale con-
tinued to be practiced ON military of
tenders down to the eighteenth cen
fury. The form most frequently resort
ed to was that known as the wooden
horse, to ride which was the punish.
ment accorded for petty thefts,' in
subOrdination and so ON. The wooden
horse was made of planks nailed to-
gether so as TO form a sharp ridge or
angle about eight or nine feet long.
This ridge represented the back of the
horse and was supported by four posts
or legs about five feet high placed on
a stand made movable by truckles. To
complete the resemblance to the no
blest animal in creation a head and
tail were added.
When a soldier was sentenced, either
10y court martial or by his commanding
officer, to ride the horse, he was placed
on the brute's back, with his hands tied
behind him, and frequently enough, in
order to increase the pain, muskets
were fastened to his legs to weigh
them down or, as was jocularly said,
to prevent the fiery, untamed, bare
backed steed from kicking him off,

The Appian Way.

The famous Appian way, mentioned
by almost every Roman writer, con-
nected the Eternal City with all parts
Of south Italy. For many miles from
Rome the space on each side was filed
with sepulchers, many of them of per-
sons distinguished in history. To have
a sepulcher on the Appian way was
equivalent to being buried in Green
wood, in New York, or Pere la Chaise,
in Paris.

The word habit is one of the most
peculiar in our language. If you take
off the first letter, you still have "a bit"
If you remove the second, the word
'bit'' is still on hand. Decapitate that
by removing the ''b" and it is still a
word. Take off the 'f,'' and you find

his profession to serve his country in
the Civil War. AT the close of the
