THE KING AND THE PEASANT
An AnecdOtc,

During the festivities of Wihelms-
bad in 1917 to celebrate the visit of
the King of Prussia, the Czar of Rus
sia. and the Emperor of Austria, a
peasant begged to appear before the
King. The chamberlain made the ap-
peal explaining that the man was an
old soldier who had served in the army
of the liberation against Napoleon.
The King commanded that he be
admitted The peasant carrying a
bird cage, made an awkward entry
into that brilliant circle.
Your majesty he said, in trem-
bling voice, soon after arrived home
from the war / found nest of young
goldfnches. 1 caught them and taught
this little fellow to sing. Will your
majesty deign to accept him from a
faithful soldier?"
He lifted the cloth from the cage,
and, as if the bird had understood, it
Immediately struck up its national
hymn which we have borrowed and
call America"
The effect was magical; tears rushed
to the Kings eyes, and he grasped
the hand of the humble peasant. When
his emotion had subsided, he said to
the man: You must carry the bird
to Berlin for me, and be my guest un-
til he becomes acquainted with his new
home"
True to his word. the King sent for
him from Berlin. On his journey and

boy replied that he had no regrets, for
he had willingly became the Prince S
substitute. Charles gave the whipping
boy some very valuable estates and
made him Lord Huntingtower and
Earl of Dysart. Will Murray had no
son, but Charles continued the honors
to his daughter and her heirs, and
gave her in marriage, first, to Sir
Lionel Tollemache, and after his death
to the Earl of Lauderdale, the de-
scendants of whose brother are now
the Eearls of Lauderdale. The de-
scendants of her first husband founded
the house of the Earl of Dvsalyt
Whipping, however, was not re-
stricted to young children, schoolboys
and girls. 1t is said of DR.. Potter of
Trinity College, Oxford, that he fog
ged a collegian who had reached the
age of % and was wearing a sword by
his side. DR.. Samuel Johnson, in his
Memoir of Milton" says: 'T am
ashamed to relate what fear is true,
that John Milton was one of the last
students in either university that suf-
fered the public indignity of corporal
correction" 1t is generally believed
that Johnson himself was publicly
scourged at Oxford when he was at
college.
Through the example set at the
schools and colleges, whipping became
almost a national institution There
is story told of Shrewsbury gram
mar school that all the students were
whipped on the first Monday in each
month, not for any offense then COM
mitted, but as a punishment for any
misdeeds which had not been found
out. Whether the story is true as re-
CARDS a public school, it is certain that
the principle was carried out in many
families. Thomas Tegg, the celebrated
publisher and BOOKSELLER relates, in a
very interesting autobiography, that
every market day his master, to whom
he had been apprenticed, got, drunk,
and when he returned home he beat
all of his apprentices. 81 have done
nothing to deserve whipping" said
Tegg on one occasion. You young
rascal" replied his master, you may
want it when l am busy, so will give
it to you now
In some of the English schools and
in many families it was customary to
whip all the boys at the time of the ex-
ecution of a criminal, in order that the
awful lesson of the gallows might be
impressed on their memories. The ex-
ecutions became SO frequent, for capi-
tai punishment was meted out for mi
nor crimes, that the practice of whip
ping fell into disfavoR, because as one
head master said, the boys would have
no time for lesosns."
Whipping boys were known in the
schools early in the nineteenth CEN
tury, and, though not officially recog
nized, there are boys in the public
schools of England who, for some re-
ward or special favor, will still receive
the punishment merited by another.

full distance. The dog was duly es-
tabiishec in the barrel yard and went
on record as an employe of the Stan
dard Oil Company, with an allowance
for maintenance.
The office force then set about MAX
ing acquaintance of the new acquisi-
ton. Mr.. Stewart conducted his ad-
vances from the top of a shed, which,
being an agile and atheletic person,
he had gained just before the dog got
to him. The head clerk tried the
power of his hypnotic eye on the beast,
and, though normally a dignified and
slow-moving person, cleared the fence
by a vault that was the admiration of
all beholders. Several other employees
tried to establish friendly relations,
and those that got away intact were
the lucky ones. They named the dog

One of the company's stations, near
Charleston, w. Va, had suffered the

tons of local thieves, who found them
useful as tirewood. After trying in
vain to capture or get a shoot at the
thieves, Mr.. Blake Stewart, who had
charge of the office, sent a requisition
to the division office in Baltimore for
one large and savage bulldog. In the
course of time and after some fiuctu-
ations of red tape the division office
notified Mr.. Stewart that it possessed
no facilities for the purchase of ma

at school. Dryden
r, all the early schools of the old
uorld whipping was a favorite mode of
enlistment. From the foundation of
,SA schools to the present time boys
have been whipped for all sorts of Of
,srces against discipline, as well as
for diatoriness and laxity in study.
In the "Old Foundation schools of
England schools in which the children
| of kings. princes, mobiles and merchants
studied side by side. a provision was
made for whipping boys" the rich
boys being allowed to pay another to
art as substitute to receive the corDo-
raj punishment his misdeeds had mer-
tied.
In the grammar school at Stratford,
where Shakespeare received his edu-
cation, it was the custom to engage a
whining boy for month, several of
/ tbe richer boys clubbing together to
nav the substitute. In another of the
grammar schools a boy who had been
whipped on three successive days was
appointed whipping boy and could
4 be engaged by anyone condemned to
4 receive a whipping.
4 In the days of Henry VIII, when his
son Edward was being educated, a spe-
cal whipping boy was provided to take
the castiga tion which the prince might
incur by his misdeeds. This whipping
boy was Barnaby Fitz Patrick, the
of T,.ich fo115a1 chief IxnOuY1 a G
Lord Of Upper Ossory. Barnaby had
been taken from his home and held as
Il hostage for the good behavior of his
father and as a mark of special favor
was given the position of whipping
boy to Prince Edward. Barnaby
studied at the same school and made
great progress in his studies, though
like all other boys, he was in trouble
at times and then had to bear the pun

las the more frequent whippings in

very fond of the whipping boy and the
two were inseDarable companions.

job, together with a considerable por-
ton of his raiment and went home.
Thereafter Fury ruled the roost. There
were no more barrels stolen, for his
reputation went abroad in the land:
but there were other difficulties. When
a stock of barrels was acquired, it took
the major part of the Office force,
armed with clubs, to drive Fury to

THREE NEW INVENTIONS.
A Ring to Wear when writing.

An exceedingly simple device an
English workingman has just invented,
whereby writing or drawing is made
easier. The complete apparatus con-
sists of a ring, which carries a small
steel ball. so placed as TO revolve free
ly in any direction. With the ring on
oen's little finger so that the little ball
is at the point of contact with the pa
per, ALMOST every bit of friction in
the movement of the hand upon the
writing or drawing material is remoV-
ed. Doubtless, the novelists will be
the first to take advantage of this easy
writing ring, though many of us would
prefer that writing be made no easier
for them: we have more books written
and published than we can ever hope
to read, and the output is constantly
increasing.
In Southern California an ingenious
inventor has constructed "a huge COM
bination of lenses and rehectors where
by the heat of the sun is made to run
machinery, pump water and do other
hard labor In various parts of the
world inventors have built machines
to utilize the wave motions of the
ocean. The next thing, you will be
saying, someone will have harnessed
cyclones and made them do mans
work. Fancy my telling you that that
very thing has already been done. At
least, so an inventor claims. According
to this man, Prof. b. b. Britts, his ma
chine is far superior to any other
means of using natural forces. The Sc
cret of the construction of his contriV-
ance is carefully guarded. but as soon
as the patents are thoroughly estab-
lished, he promises to give a public ex-
hibition with the first stiff breeze that
comes along. One of the most re-
markable claims of the inventor is
that his apparatus is applicable to To-
comotives. and that it will displace
electricity and compressed air in pro-
pelling street cars. All sorts of loco
motion or navigation are possible, says
Prof. Britts. and he promises to make
steam power a thing of the past.
New Safety Lamp for Miners.-A
young New York electrician, M. r.
Hutchison, has recently invented a
device which ought to prove a special
boon to miners. 1t is am electric lamp
and is to be carried in the cap, just as
an ordinary miners lamp is carried,
the electric current to be supplied from
storage battery. The battery is less
than three pounds in weight and Is
good for to 10 horus steady work. 1t
may be carried in pocket. Indeed,
Mr.. Hutchison has built the batteries
in such shape that they fit snugly into
a pocket. The practical result of the
use of such a lamp as this is that the
danger of death from fire damp is re-
moved, the valuable oxygen of the air
is not burned up as it is by the use of
an ordinary lamp, the whole appara tus
is clean and compact. moreover, the
light given is much better than that
of any other device used in this way.
The lamp should he introduced into ev-
cry mine where men are obliged to
work far away from light hnd good
air. The device should also find a
place in cave exploring, well digging
or any underground work.
