CASTING LOTS.
A Curious Military Custom That Was
Once In Vogue In Europe.

OuCS Ia III IuEOpCs
In the armies of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries the custom of cast
rAg lots to decide what soldiers should
be punished for the o~ffenses of all was
common. At Winchester, England, in
1G45, complaint was made that after
the surrender there had been unfair
plundering. Six soldiers were tried
and found guilty, and it was decided
by lot which one of the six should be
hanged. AT Tangier in 1863, and
again in 1865, two soldiers had to cast
dice on a drumhead, and he who threw
the least was executed. Thomas Mays
translation Of Barclays Icon AMI
morum" gives a curious story of this
sort. Speaking of English courage, he
says that during the war in the Neither
lands some soldiers of the Spanish
party We're taken prisoners by the
Dutch, who decided to make reprisals
for the previous cruelty Of their en-
emies. Out of four and twenty men
eight were to be hanged. "There were
lots, therefore, thrown into a helmet"
ooyO NIoS dLh LIN PllOOLIClo Z
commanded to draw their fortunes
whoever should draw a blank was to
escape, but whoever should draw a
black lot was to be hanged presently.
"They were all" says May, possess
ed with a great apprehension of their
present danger, especially one Span
lard. Their pitiful wishes and tears in
some Of the ISLANDERS by did move pity,
in others laughter. There was besides
In that danger an Engiishman, a com-
mon soldier, who, with q careless
%tenance, expressing n fear of death at
all, came boldly to the helmet and drew
his lot. Chance favored him; it was i
safe lot. Being free himself from dan
ger he came to the Spaniard, who was
yet timorous and trembling to put his
hand into the fatal helmet, and receiv-
ing from him 10 crowns he entreated
the judges-oh, horrid audacity-that,
dismissing the Spaniard, they would
suffer him again to try his fortune"
May further relates that the judges
consented to the madman's request,
who valued his life It so low d rate,
and he again drew a safe lot" May
seems rather to regret the second eS-
cape of the foolhardy Englishman,
whom he denounceS as "a wretch IN
worthy not only Of that double, but
even of a single preservation, who SO
basely had u~ndervalued his life"

British Naval Red Tape.

The British navy can produce fine
samples of red tape as well as the ar
my. Not long since an admiral took
the trouble to write a long minute on
the back of an ordinary routine paper
submitted to him to the effect that the
margin on the left hand side was fully
one-eighth of an inch too narrow. We
all know that genius is an infinite ca
pacity for taking pains, but l hardly
think that the genius Of Blake or Mel
son is likely to be eXemplified in an
admiral who goes owe his official pa
pers with a tape measure in order to
see that the margins are the right
width.-London Truth.

From 148 to 81 Pounds.

One of the most remarkable cases of a
cold, deep-seated on the lungs, causing
pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gertrude E.
Fenner, Marion, Ind, who was entirely
cured by the use of One Minute Cough
Cure. She says: 1.-THE coughing and
straining so weakened me that | ran
down in weight from 14S to 81 pounds.
I tried a number of remedies to no avail
until I used One Minute Cough Cure.
Four bottles of this wonderful remedy
cured me entirely of the cough strength
ened my lungs and restored me to my
normal weight, health and strength"

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the SAME
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.
