Salt to Revive Frozen Fly.

From the Philadelphia Press
The host prominent banker and society
man, made the announcement that 1t was
possible to bring a fly to life again after
the latter had been on ice for some time
and was seemingly ready for the coroners
verdict, frozen to DEATH Naturally, every
one laughed at what appeared to them to
be a wild yarn of the imagination
There was only one thing for the host to
do, so he promptly bet all the guests that
he could bring a frozen fly to life and the
guests were eager to wager that he could
not.
A maid was sent for some ice and by
careful maneuvering she also managed to
catch three flies. The host took one Of the
flies, placed it between two big chunks Of
ice, with another chunk over the top, and
there the fly was left to cool off.
A little later the fly was removed from
the ice and placed on piece of cardboard,
and there was no doubt in the minds Of the
guests that the fly was frozen stir, for
there was not the slightest movement Of
either the wings or legs.
The host carefully covered the fly with
table salt, and then told the eager watchers
to keep close watch. Five minutes went
by, but there was not the slightest move
ment from the salt and the guests made all
manner of fun of their host.
Eight minutes had passed and then, to
the extreme wonderment of all except the
host the fly crawled out of the pile, and,
after walking about the table and getting
rid of the salt, flew away. And the host
was indicated.

The Anti Kissing League.

From the Los Angeles Times.
little red button worn by some 800
women, old and young, married and in
different, among the leading social sets of
the City of Mexico, marks new departure,
or. rather. a new step, in progress. This
little round, red button signifies member
ship in what is known as the Anti-Kissing
League.
Members of the league take a solemn
pledge not to kiss each other, in public or
private, but put 1t on the ground that kiss
ing is contagious, or, rather, the means Of
conveying contagious diseases from one fair
lip to another.
There is nothing visible to the naked eye
in the constitution of this league against
kissing other members of the female per-.
suasion, and, in fact. the practice. aside
from the supposed danger of infection, is
decidedly, to the male sense, not only de-
plorable but unnecessary. When one woman
takes two or three minutes of time in
street car to kiss three or four other women
before alighting from the car she certainly
violates the Golden Rule by making all
those passengers wait. How far this new
league will conduct its offensive and de-
fensive campaign remains to be seen.

Apartment House Needs.
From the Cosmopolitan.

FROM the C0SmopOutaH
If these apartment houses and hotels
were filed with people who appreciated
the opportunities of the time they live in
the gathered homes therein would know a
larger. higher happiness than any cozy
cottage under woodbine. The wives and
mothers of these families would remember
that there are children-must be children
and that no hired servant can successfully
conceal them.
Children are here and must be provided
for. The apartment house has not done
so yet-but it can, and better than the
private house. These great structures
could, If they chose, turn their palm-fring-
ed roofs into happy child-gardens furnish
great playrooms, gymnasia and nurseries;
and they will choose when women patrons
bring their maternal sentiments up to date

work, could return to her exquisite nest

the town for his Incorporate habits, and
upon whom the impression of the reading
gaol failed to give good effect, was fixed
in the stocks for drunkenness and disor-
derby conduct in the parish church. 1t had
been twenty-siX years since the last use of
the stocks and the scene created consider
able amusement and attracted hundreds to
the spot. Tuck sat in the stocks, his legs
secured, and anything but pleased with the
laughter and diversion of the crowd.
At that time an English rhymster was in
spired to pen these lines:
Each mode has served its time and played a part
For good i'll with men, but while the bane

Discrediting an age, methinks the reign
OF stocks at least, were well revived again.
A favorite inscription on the stocks in
use in the colonies was:

Think of the glass that runs for thee.
The Bilboes.
More ancient even than the stocks and
answering the same general purpose, were
the bilboes, brought from Bilboa by the
Spanish armada about 1885, They were
used as were the stocks later, for the de-
tention as well as the punishment of pris-
oners. The bilboes consisted of a long and
heavy iron bar, fitted with shackles for the
legs. They were not much used In the col
onies for stocks of wood were cheaper. In
Alice Morse EarlS book, "PuniShmentS of
Bygone Days. there is the following de-
scription, full of local color, of the punish
ment by the bilboes:

Bee Hunting in the Adirondacks.
From Leslie's Weekly.

There is a charm about bee hunting Pc
culiar to this particular sport and it can
be enjoyed wherever bees locate. There
were flowers about the camp over which
we had often noticed honey bees lowering,
and the guide said he had been watching
their maneuvers and it was about time to
give them chase. Our outfit was very
simple consisting of box about four
inches square, divided into two parts by an
ordinary slide, the lower compartment con-
tanning piece of bread or honeycomb sat-
urated with syrup made of sugar and
water boiled. The slide was pushed into
place and the decoy was ready for the bee
family. 1t is easy to trap honey bee If
one only knows how.

The stool fell into disuse during the latter
part OF the eighteenth century. There were
some isolated cases of its use after that
time, but not many.
The Pillory.
The pillory. which might be termed the
side partner of the whipping post. dates
from remote times, its origin being shroud-
ed in the mists of antiquity. and consti-
tuting a mixture of tragedy and comedy of
pathos and bathos. 1t was a familiar OBJ
ject in England and the colonies, particu-
larly in New England, where it was in
variable accompaniment of the whipping
post. 1t was always placed in the market
spaces of villages, and was considered SO
highly that If the local authorities failed to
keep it in good order and ready for instant
occupancy they were liable to lose the right
to hold a market at all.
To sentence a particularly detested Of
fender to the pillory was about the same as
sentencing him to death, for the mob in
variabiy in attendance. often substituted
stones for rotten eggs on these occasions,
and few such offenders long survived the
showers of missiles. The pillory fingered in
England for long time. Lord Thurlow,
who was eloquent in defense of it's use,
called it "a protection against licentious-
ness provided by the wisdom of past ages.
1t was usually used in the punishment of
those convicted of immortality In 1912 Lord
marlborough, an equally strong advocate
of this mode of punishment, sentenced an
offender to the pillory for two hours once
month for year and a half In 1914 he
sentenced Lord Cochrane, the famous sea
fighter, to the pillory for circulatin false
Stories but the sentence was so unpopular
that it was never carried out. The pillory
was discontinued in 1916 for the punish
ment of ordinary offenses, and in 1880 for
perjury. The cangue, a sort of personally
conducted pilory in the form of an inn
mense wooden collar, is in use in China at
the present day for the punishment of petty
offenders. The finger pilory, for the pun
ishment of domestic servants, abolished a
century or more ago, was of the same
principle as its namesake, except that it in
closed the finger of an offender instead of
his neck.
The Stocks
The stocks, very much on the order of
the pillory, except that they confined the
offenders legs, were very highly thought
days. so much so in the former country
that in 1850 an act provided that every
town and village should have it's stocks
and keep them in good repair. They were
in use in the colonies, particularly through
out Massachusetts, in the days before the
revolution. The last time the stocks were
used anywhere in the world was in New
bury, Berkshire England, in 1872, and the
A paragraph in a Newbury paper of that
date reads:

and poultry market Tuesday, June H. 1872.

iron collar padlocked around the neck, anu
with an iron chain, which was usually fas-
tened to the front of church, were extern
Sively used in the north of England, doi-
land and the American colonies from the
sixteenth century up to hundred and nifty
years ago for the punishment of ecclesiasti-
cal crimes. The offender was chained to
the church front just at meeting time, 50
that all the members of the entering con-
gregation might gaze and be edited.
The Drank, or scolds bridle' generally
used for the punishment of slanderers, was
another cheerful machine. 1t consisted OF
an iron framework, made to fit around the
head, with projecting spiked DIT Tor the
mouth, and chain, by which the offender
undergoing punishment might be leu
around the town. In the Macclesfield town
records it is called "a brydle for curste
quean." The Drank is of great antiquity,
and fell into disuse couple of centuries
ago.
The repentance stool, of which the
mourners' bench of the present day is
modification, is another of the old forms
of punishment employed in England and
the colonies, but which in it's original state
gradually fell into dsuse. The stool was
usually placed directly under the pulpit of
a church, and members of the congregation
who had been found out in sin were forced
to occupy it during service, confess their
transgressions publicly and accept sting
ing reprimand.
The Mutilation Of Offenders.
Mutilation was practiced in England from
the time of the first Norman king, and,
with many other customs of the same kind,
was an imported luxury. The killing of
deer was punishable in those days by the
loss of both eyes, which were plucked from
the head with pincers. Mutilation, espe-
cially to the ears, was common for centu-

A Notable Sentence of Ducking.

And in this connection it is rather inter-
esting to know that one of the latest SEN
fences to the ducking stool in this country
was imposed right here in Washington.
The sentence, WHICH was not only one of
the latest, but one of the most notorious as
well, was that imposed on Mrs. Anne
Royal, almost in our own day. Mrs. Royal
was an extraordinary woman. She was
taken prisoner by the Indians when child
and was held captive for fifteen years. Her
later life was eventful in love and adven-
ture. Soon after her release she married
Capt. Royal and was taught to read and
write. She travelled far and wide and wrote
several vituperatively interesting books.
Then she settled down upon Washington as
the editor of newspaper called The
Washington Paul Pry," and another known
as THE Huntress," and from all accounts
had the city terrorized.
No one in public office was spared, either
in personal or published attacks, if any Of
tense or neglect were imposed upon her.
by accident or otherwise. She was a per-
sistent lobbyist, but was Stunned as the
plague by senators and representatives
alike. John Quincy Adams, formerly Presi-
dent of the United States, and at that time
a representative in Congress. called her an
''itinerant virago" Finally she became such
a nuisance and her printed and personal
abuse so scandalous that she was arraigned
as a common scold before Judge William
Cranch and sentenced Ito be duccked in the
Potomacc river

The Sentence COMMITTED.

The sentence met with considerable dis
approval however, Notwithstanding Mrs,
Royals career. and as no ducking stool
was at hand to carry out the sentence she
was finally let off with heavy fine.
The duckng stool for scolds dates from
the middle ages. when according to all
contemporaneous accounts the virtue and
amiability of the lower classes were away

bad bread and petty offenders generally

were also submitted to the ordeal of the
stool. which was considered a mild,
pleasant and humane punishment by those
who administered IL. Occasionally. of
course the duckers grew careless aud the
victim died between dips Some times too,
victim died of fright and now and then
of shock. Some of the ducking stools in
use in the colonies, where it was introduced
from England. were deliberately engraved.
One had on its back the following philo-
sophical inscription:
OF members. Ye tonge Is worst best;
An i'll tonge Oft doth breede unrest.
A Frenchman's Description.
A bright Frenchman who visited Eng
land at the time the ducking stool was in
common use has left one of the best
descriptions extant of that cheerful engine.
He wrote:
1.-THE way Of Furnishing seolding women is
pleasant enough. They tie q large chair to

Publicity a Prime Factor.

In many, indeed in nearly all, of the pun
ishments of past centuries, derision, scot
fling, contemptuous publicity and personal
obliquy were applied to offenders and Grim
inals by means of degrading, demeaning
and helpless exposure to the public gaze
in grotesque. insulting and powerful engines
of punishment. Thus confined and exposed
to the gibes and jeers of the whole commu-
nifty, the peculiar power of the punishment
was thought to be greatly increased. If
whipping post is urged for the jail yard, the
erection of the stocks at market space, the
ducking stool at the bathing beach, bill
boes in Judiciary Square, the jougs for
the front door of every church in town, and
the Drank, or scold's bride. for every head
that needs it, would all be possible.
In view of the discussion in Washington
just now, that tends to make every thinking
citizen an amateur penologist a dip into
the history of the ancient punishments
that fiourished before, during and after the
reign Of the whipping post is more than
ordinarily interesting.

RELICS OF. DARK AGES

The whipping post, which has been adj
vcoated for adoption in the District of
Columbia as a punishment for wife-beat-
ers and other offenders, is held in public
esteem as a relic, so far as it exists today
of the old times when cruel and unusual
puEishments,'' prohibited by the Consu-
tuition of the United States, were far from
unusual and were by no means regarded
as cruel Those were the day of the stocks
and the pillory, the branks and jougs, the
branding iron and the thumb-screw, the
knout and the bastinado, the rack and the
boots. They were the days of drawing
and quartering offenders, of tying them
by the limbs to horses that they might
be rent apart while alive by the plunglng
beasts.
Any advocacy of the whipping post
therefore, necessarily reviveS recoliectlonS
of these other forms of punishment, which
are so foreign to the spirit of the present
and so far removed from the policies which
now prevail in psychological practices There
has been, indeed, complete reversal of
sentiment on the score of punishments,
and public opinion in all really enlightened
countries is decidedly set against any ser
ious effort to restore any of the discarded
forms or agencies or methods.
Already some people have come forward
to suggest That if the whipping post for
the punishment of wife-beaters Is adopted
natural accompaniment, the uuChllS
stool for the punishment of scolding wives,
must come as a logical corollary. This
suggestion indicates a disposition of the
mind at once to revert to the past and the
question naturally arises, where 1t will
stop? Which of the old-time punishments
are to be chosen for modern re-establish-
ment? The whipping post alone? Or the
ducking stool also? Perhaps the pilory
and the stocks? Then when they have
been restored to their places in the public
squares or the court-yards-of jails and
warehouses; each court may find its way
clear to the restoration in turn of the lit
tie refnements of the middle ages which
judges were wont to use to force testimony
from unwilling prisoners. The process of
re-establishment is a long one and re-
view of some of the old-fashioned pun
ishments suggested by the discussion of
the whipping post must be of immediate
local and national interest.
