A CURIOSITY IN BOOKS.
The Famous Chained Library of
WfmbOurne, ireland.

The Famous Chained Library of
WfmbOurne, ireland.
Wimbourne, Ireland, is noted for
many things, but Its famous chained
library is perhaps the most notable of
its curiosities. The library possesses
unique interest as being one Of the
earliest attempts to disseminate knoWl-
edge among the people. The collection
was made accessible to the people in
1856 and numbers some 200 volumes.
The scarcity of books and the value of
the collection are both indicated in the
care taken for their preservation, and
especially against loss Of such treas
ures by theft. By means Of chains
and rods the books were securely fas-
tened to the shelves, and these chains,
it is rather surprising to learn, were
not removed until 1857, when the IL
brary fittings were repaired. Among
the interesting works of the collection
Is q copy Of the first edition of Sir
Walter Raleigh's History of the
World" 1914. It has suffered from fire,
and tradition says that Matthew Prior
was responsible for it's condition, the
story being that he fell asleep when
reading 1t once upon time and the
pages were burned by his candle. It
has been neatly repaired, and its mis-
hap now adds to its interest. The old
est volume in the library is fine old
copy in vellum of "Reginum Aninna-
rum" 1t is in manuscript and bears
the date 1343

BE A BUSINESS MAN.
10 Not Ignore the Money Side of
Your Vocation.

10 Not Ignore the Money Side OF
Your Vocation.
No matter what your vocation may
be, you must be business man first
or you will always be placed at great
disadvantage in the practical affairs Of
life. We cannot entirely ignore the
money side Of existence any more than
we can the food side, and the very
foundation of a practical, successful
life is the ability to know how to man
age the money side effectively.
1t is infinitely harder to save money
and to invest 1t wisely than to make
if, and If even the most practical men,
men who have had long training in
scientific business methods, find it a
difficult thing to hold on to money aft
er they make it, what Is likely to hap
pen to people who have had practically
no training in business methods?
If every child in America had a
thorough business training tens Of thou
sands Of promoters, long headed, cum
ming schemers, who have thrived on
the peoples ignorance, would be out of
an occupation.
I believe that the business colleges
are among the greatest blessings in
American civilization today, because
they have saved thousands of homes
from being wrecked and have made
happy and comfortable tens Of thou
sands Of people who might otherwise
be living in poverty and wretchedness.

BURlALS IN CUBA.
Customs That Remind One OF the
Parsees of Bombay.

PHrsees of bombay.
Burial customs in Cuba are almost
as strange as the Parsee customs and
their towers Of silence in Bombay. II
seems that the reopening Of graves in
Cuba is the result of a long established
custom of burying as many bodies as
possible in single grave. The GENE
terry routine is like this
First some one, usually the head of
family, buys plot. He at once sets
to work digging his own grave and
graves for all the members of his fam
lily. He digs several graves six feet
long for adults and one grave four feet
long to provide for the possible death
of child When the entire area of the
plot is thus in open graves the digger
turns mason and plasterer. He ce-
ments each grave, bottom and sides.
Then he fills in the cemented graves
with soil and goes home with the salts
factory thought that he may look upon
his own grave during his lifetime and
that it is ready for him at any time he
is ready for it.
But the weirdest part Of this custom
is yet to be told. In the middle Of the
plot square grave is dug, hole
about six feet each way. This square
hole is cemented like the graves and
filed in with soil 1t should be explain
ed here that the bodies in the graves
are covered with Quicklime. When the
flesh has disappeared and only the
bones are left the bones are taken out
of the grave and thrown into the
square hole in the center of the plot.
THUS the graves are used over and
over again until the square hole in the
center is filed with the bones Of the
members of this or that family. Then
the hole is sealed over, and that par
ticular family plot is abandoned and
new one purchased London Tit-Bits.

CRUEL PUNlSHMENTS.
The old Time Use of Torture In Legal
Processes.

The old Time Use Of Torture In Legal
Processes.
The constitution Of the United States
and the constitutions of the various
states in prohibiting cruel and unusual
punishments were not fighting an alb
surdlty The use of torture in legal
processes was not, when these instru-
ments We're framed, so remote as it is
now.
When Sir Thomas Dole came as high
marshal to Virginia he crushed a con
spiracy by killing the ringleaders by
torture. One had a bodkin thrust
through his tongue and was chained
to q tree until he died. Others were
broken on the wheel. 1t is quantity
stated that Sir Thomas was "a man
of good conscience and knowledge in
divinity" Dole's date was 1911.
The next notable instance Of the use
Of torture was in 1892, in the Salem
witchcraft excitement, when Giles
Cory was pressed to death-the ''peine
dure ct forte,' the most horrible of
deaths.
Executions were in public through
out the east until comparatively recent
times When Quelch, the pirate, and
six others were hanged in Boston, Sew
all wrote in his diary, when the scat
fold was let to sink there was such a
screech Of the women that my wife
heard it, sitting in our entry next to
the orchard" though the gallows was
a mile away and the wind unfavorable.
The use Of torture to wiring the truth
from witnesses is said to have been rec
ognized as legal in Austria until well
within the century.

A Washington special of April
is says:
"The name of Malcolm r. Patter-
son, who was elected to represent
the Tenth Tennessee district in
the House of Representatives of
the United States Congress, was.
dropped from the rolls of Con-
gress today.
"This action was taken for the
reason that Mr.. Patterson has not
attended the sessions Of Congress
since his election, and although he
has been drawing his pay as a
Congressman he has never appear
ed to be sworn in. While draw
ing his pay, lie has been at work
in aid of his candidacy for the
governorship Of Tennessee.
"The dropping ofsthe name of a
Congressman from the rolls is al
most without precedent, but it is
claimed that there is little objec-
ton in the present case, even from
Mr.. Patterson's political col
leagues, who have in vain tried to
get him to represent his district
III the important matters that have
been before the Congress at the
present session. Lit is known that
the Democratic leaders of the
House have attempted to have
him come to Washington and cast
his vote on important questions,
but that he has refused on the
ground of his political business
keeping him in Tennessee"

Will you give an old Democrat
who stood by Bob Taylor in 1888
(I think it was) in his fight for an
endorsement for governor, little
space to explain why we are for
Carmack now. 10 defeat Bob
Taylor would mean no reflection
on him as a man or a Democrat,
for it would be only carrying out
aprinciple advocated by Governor
Taylor himself when serving his
first term that q Democrat who
does his duty should be endorsed
for asecond term. Governor Tay-
lor was right then, and it is good
principle today and should be APP
piled to Senator Carmack.

numberless smaller concerns it could
not be reckonei with any degree Of
authenticity. The retail area of the
city encloses Third street, portions of
Fourth, and DeMers, Kittson, Alpha
and international avenues. Within
this district are congregated the larg-
er establishments and their situation
Is easily accessible to both the city and
trader. Within this area are several
large concerns which occupy their own
structures and dozens of concerns
which are heavy renters. The large
department stores. The Ontario, The
Benner, Begg and Garvin, The Hub,
VOLTS and Zueldorfs are almost exact
counterparts of the stores in Mime
apolis, Chicago and New York, though
on smaller scales. However the stock
of goods carried is much more COM
plete in comparison. The assumption
is warranted that this Is a rich state
when one glances into the richly fur
nished windows of the retail stores.
The merchants are good advertisers,
not only in the newspapers which they
patronize literally, but in their dis
play ads and in their adherance to
methods that are self advertising.
