MAJORITY. FAVOR THE WHIPPING
POST.
Wilmington Messenger.


An exchange says: ''Three fourths
of the newspapers of the State favor
the re-introduction OF the whipping
post for wife-beating and other minor
offences. What will the Legislature
do about it?'' The Legislature
should submit the matter; to the
people and let them vote upon the
question of adopting the provision
as an amendment to the State con-
stitution. This should have been
done long ago. There are hundreds
of lazy, idle criminals each year who
are fed and clothed at the expense of
the people Of the State, who should
have been given thirty-nine lashes
and turned loose to make their own
living. We're the whipping post re-
established a great burden would be
lifted Off the people and the number
of offenses of certain class would
greatly decrease.

CHEESES OF ALL COUNTRIES.
Some Familiar Kinds That Have Be.
come Wei Liked in the
United States.

Each country has its favorite cheese.
The Swiss make the gruyere cheese. 1t
is made of goats milk, and is full of
holes, caused by the gases in fermenta-
ton. The typical English cheese is the
cheddar, first made in the English town
after which it is named.
Brie is popular French soft cheese;
and camembert, originating in Nor
mandy, is another. These cheeses are
cured in caves, where the temperature
never rises above II TO II degrees.
Roquefort, a celebrated French
cheese, is made from the mingled mill,
of goats and sheep that browse on the
thyme-clad banks OF the Arno These
cheeses are also ripened in caves, but
the temperature is kept at 40 degrees.
Akin to the roquefort cheese is that
called gorgonzola, made in Italy after
similar processes. 1t is milder than
roquefort, and not quite so good; but
it sold much cheaper. Another Italian
cheese, the parmesan, is very hard and
is usually grated.
Limhurger cheese, SO beloved by the
Germans, originated in Belgium. It is
extraordinarily rich, being allowed to
ripen by putrefaction, hence it's hor-
rifying odor to unaccustomed nostrils.
Some persons have a saying: Cor
gonzoia is cheese to swear by, lin
burger to swear att"

HEROIC SELF-sACRIFICE.
Conspicuous Instance That Came Tn.
der the Observation of
Navy officer.

Speaking of heroism," said navy Of
ficer at his club a few evenings ago, re-
ports the New York Tribune, sit is rare
that such an example is seen as that
of an old associate at. the naval acad-
envy, Hynson, who was a passed mid
shipman at Vera Cruz, in 1876. 1t was
really more than bit of heroism; it was
fortitude, passive courage, that con-
fronted peculiar danger, self-sacri-
flee that was most conspicuous.
Our fleet was off the harbor on block
ade duty when one day a Spanish mer-
chant vessel managed to slip in without
being discovered. Hynson conceived the
idea of capturing the vessel by night at
tack, and he succeeded in doing So But
as he could rot take the vessel out of the
harbor, for the reason that she was I'M
der the close range of the enemy's guns
and forts, Tyson set fire to the vessel,
In doing so he burned both his arms so
badly that he carried them in sings for
several days. While in this disabled
condition terrific squall came up and
played havoc with several of our little
vessels, and the one on which Hynson
was serving was capsized Hynson and
one of the other officers managed to get
hold on floating spar, but as 1t was not
sufficient to keep them both afloat, Hyn-
son let go his hold, and in a few moments
sank to his death"

BREECH-LoADERs ARE OLD.
Bronze Cannon of That Make Were
in Use in Spain Some
Centuries Ago

That there is very little new under
the sun has once more been proved at
Tobermory bay, Null, says London
paper, where Capt. Burns, of Glasgow,
has, with the permission of the duke of
Argyll, been searching for the relies of
the Admiral of Florence, one of the ves=
sells of the Spanish Armada, known to
have been blown up in 1883 in that far
away water. With the aid of an old
chart the diver went down into IL faith
oms and came across a bronze breech-
loading cannon four and one=half feet
long, eight inches in diameter at the
breech and bearing the date 1863. The
divers also discovered pistol heavily
incrusted with lime, a sword blade and
A Hedge anchor.
Breech loading in artillery and small
arms is popularity supposed to be an in
vention of the middle of last century
but such is by no means the case. In
Dublin gunsmith's shop at Cork Hill is
breech-loading rifle, which was Of
fered to the British war office at the
close of the eighteenth century and re-
jected, as it was considered to need too
much ammunition.

VIRGINIA HOSPITALITY.
It Il Manifested in a Singular Way
Towards NOn-Resident
SpOrtsmen.

The proverbial Virginia hospitality is
again in evidence That state has new
game law this year, of which one feature
is nonresident license exaction. AS at
first adopted, all non-residents other
than nonresident children of resident
landowners, were required to take out
a license, but the spirit of hospitality
which is linked with the name of Virginia
recoiled from this From a time be-
yond which the mind of man runneth not
to the contrary, it has been fashion
with Virginians to invite their friends
from other states to visit them for shoot
ing, and 1t was perceived that the new
law would put an end to this pleasant
custom. A modification was thereupon
demanded and granted, says Forest and
Stream. AS it now stands, the nom
resident law expressly exempts the Wis
itor, the text reading that the non-resi-
dent guest of a resident landowner shall
be allowed to hunt on the lands of his
host, as though he were resident of
the state, when accompanied by the host
or a member of his family, and pro-
vided that the host receives no compen-
sation from the guest. This is excellent
in so far as Virginia hospitality is con-
cerned; but we fail to appreciate the
logic which finds it reasonable to tax
one sportsman who is obliged to pay
board in Virginia, while exempting him
who is SO fortunate as to have friends
there who may entertain him.

SHORTCAKE AND DISCIPLINE
College Crew Gave Way to Their Ap.
Petites, But the Outcome Was
Very Satisfactory.

The sternness of the Roman father re-
| isembles that which must be exercised
sometimes by trainer of athletes The
coach of the Cornell university boat
crews is as strict as any such disciple
marian, as he demonstrated on certain
occasion when he had an eight-oared
crew Eat the pink of perfection" The
squad had been moved to Poughkeepsie,
says the New York Telegraph, and upon
its first trial spin was conceded by ex-
perts to have the race as good as won.
Nothing remained but to keep the men
In condition.
Sad to say, it was the strawberry
shortcake season. Exactly three days be-
fore the race against the picked crews Of
the eastern universities, five members of
the Cornell crew encountered in q
Poughkeepsie restaurant strawberry
shortcake like those that mother used
to make" Possessed of appetites that
months of steady exercise had built, up,
they. devoured the shortcake even to the
last crumb.
The news of that breach of discipline
came speedily to the ears of Coach Court
ney. The next morning five shamefaced
young athletes stood before him, and by
their humility acknowledged that they
had strayed from the narrow path
"Out you go!" said Mr. Courtney
| But the five believed that in numbers
lay their strength. "You can't row a
boat race with only crew of three!"
they exclaimed in unison.
1T would be quite the same If the
whole boat load of you had done this
thing" replied Courtney "Go!"
That afternoon new crew represented
the red and white in the practice spins
up and down the Hudson. Newspaper
reporters Immediately rushed to the
| telegraph offices and wired to their
chiefs: Cornell practically out of the
race! Five substitutes will row in the
race day after tomorrow" Mr.. Court
ney said nothing.
Gray-haired alumni who were begin
ming to reach Poughkeepsie in order to
cheer their college crew to victory called
upon the coach and begged him to re-
scind his order. Still he maintained sill
ence. A formal protest from the under
graduate body was placed before him.
His eyes merely looked away into space.
| The five deposed men waited upon him
again, admitted they had erred, but de-
clared that the one shortcake had
wrought no evil.
Then and only then Courtney thun-
dered: obedience to discipline is a
fundamental rule of this navy! Coz"
Many readers will remember the out
come of that race-how the five substi-
tutes proved to be as good as or better
than, the regulars, and how they simply
romped over the course in record time,
winners by several lengths. "Shortcake
did it," was the Cornell slogan that
night
Il really didn't expect my boys to win
after that shake-up," explained Mr..
| Courtney after the race, ''but knew that
| never should have to contend with
shortcake again"

CRITICISM OF THE BIBLE.
new woman Said 1t Was Good in
Places and "He Got Her

new woman had just moved into the
nelghborhood. Shewas of the distinct lit
erary type. Books were her hobby, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Her neighbors called. One of them in
particular seemed to desire to make an
impression. She professed an enthu-
slasm for new books and borrowed sew
eral The books were returned within a
few days, but always without comment
as to their contents, very much to the
disappointment of the lender.
Book after book was borrowed and re-
turned with the same result. Finally,
after two or three weeks, when the am
bilious neighbor called again, new
morocco-bound Bible was lying on the
parlor stand. The neighbor picked it
up and glanced through it.

mark, the same as usual.
We'll, take it, said the obliging new
neighbor, "and when you finish it let me
know how you like it, she added, with
the slightest twinkle in her eye and a
shade of suspicion in her voice.
The borrower hesitated for moment,
took the book, and was gone with it for
over a week.
Finally she returned with it, laid it
where she had found it, and, thanking
her obliging friend, started to go without
word further.
well, how did you like it?" called the
book lover after the others retreating
figure.
ooh, I don't know" was returned; ''it's
good in places. But he does finally get
her in the end, don't he?"
The book lover is still dazed.

MASSAGE BY THE BLIND.
London Institution to Open New Oc-
cupation for Which They Are
Peculiarly Adapted,

There is to be very new field of
work opened for the blind by the Lon
don institute for Massage by the Blind,
which is about to be started under a COM
mittee that includes many representa-
tive medical men, 1t is not an experi-
ment. 1t has proved that the blind can
become expert in the practice of mas
sage, which in Japan is commonly rec
ognlzed as their work, reports the Phil
adelph1a Press. The occupations open
to the blind are few and rarely remuner-
alive. The difficulty is one of the gravest
obstacles to the improvement of the
condition of this afflicted class. There
are already several blind masseurs in
that country. Some 6 500 is needed, and
central rooms are then to be secured
under a hospital matron Blind stu
dents must obtain first-clas2 medical GER
tificates in an art which is daily more
used, especially by surgeons in sprains
and bruises, and masseuses will be al
lowed to treat only women and children
and masseurs only men. The whole
scheme needs only to be mentioned to be
approved. 1t is also worthy of note that
the blind are usually endowed with a
sense of touch exceptionally. fine, so
that here, and perhaps here alone, is a
field in which they may surpass their
seeing brothers, massage being depend
ent for its success upon the nicely CT
its application, dependent in its turn on
the nicely of the operator tactile sense.

Coffee as IA Disinfectant.

Experiments with roasted coffee prove
that it is the most powerful means not
only of rendering animal and vegetable
effluvia harmless, but of actually de-
stroying them. On one occasion, meat
in an advanced state of decomposition
was instantly deprived of it's offensive
odor when a pound of roasted coffee was
placed near it. In another instance.
where sulphureted hydrogen and am
monia could be strongly detected, the
odor was completely removed in half a
minute with three ounces of fresh
roasted coffee, while other parts of the
house were cleared of the smell simply
by passing through the rooms with a
rooster containing coffee The best
method for using coffee as disinfeetant
is to dry the raw bean, pound it in a
mortar and then roast the powder on a
moderately heated iron plate, until 1t
is of a dark-brown color Then sprinkle
it in sinks or cesspools or lay it on a
plate in the room which you wish to dis
infect. Coffee acid or coffee oil acts
more readily in very small quantities..
