WIS charged with numbering his
mother by beating her and forcing q
handkerchief into her mouth. His
sweetheart. while believing him inno-

objected TO Murrays putting in their

wholly circumstantial, and the yer.

that she helped Mrs. Murray home
after the hour when the accused had

of Not proven and the prisoner was

COMPELLED TO EAT WRITINGS.
People Who in This Way Contributed
to Destruction Of Literature.

10 OBSTRUCTION OF LITERATURE
Among the causes that contribute to
the destruction OF books, says an
Italian writer. America Scarlatti,
there is one very curious one that may
be called bibliophagia. No reference
is intended to the mice that once
destroyed in England an entire edition
of Castell's Lexicon Heptaglotton."
but to human beings who have liter
ally devoured books.
In 1870 Barnabo Viscontl compelled
two papal delegates 10 eat the bull
of accommodation which they had
brought him. together with its sllken
cords and leaden seal. AS the bull
was written on parchment. says the
Scientific American. not paper, 1t was
all the more difficult to digest.
A similar anecdote was related by
Oelrich, in his "Dissertatio de Biblio-
thecarum ct Librorum Fatis" Q756l,
of an Austrian general. who had sign
ed note for 1000 forms, and when it
fell due compelled his creditors TO eat
1t.
The Tatars. when books fall into
their possession, eat them. that they
may acquire the knowledge contained
in them.
A Scandinavian writer. the author
OF political book, was compelled to
choose between being beheatled or
eating his manuscript boiled in broth.
Isaac Volmar. who wrote some spicy
satires against Bernard, Duke of Sax
ony, was not allowed the courtesy of
the kitchen. but wes forced to swal-
low them uncooked.
Still worse was the fate of Philip
Oldenburger, a jurlst of great renown,
who was condemned not only to eat
pamphlet of his writings, but also
to be fogged during his repast, with
orders that the flogging should not
cease until he had swallowed the last
crumb.
