Drag the road as soon after every

FIOEginE.

Flogging. in public and otherwise, is
not of medieval origin. In the middle
ages ridicule and not physical suffering
was the means employed for the Ger

crowd, in which women. generally

sonableness-bu the whipping post be-
longs to the Tudor age. The Eliza

logging girls for idleness on Sunday
morning But it was in the Hanove-
rian period that fiogging was carried
to excess. AS late as 1904 six women
were publicly logged in Gloucester.

European JIu Jitsu.

A French teacher Of boxing points
out that an art of self defense approx
imately equivalent to jiu jitsu was
known in Europe in the seventeenth
century. Its principles are expounded
in n work by one Nicolas Peters. pub
lished at Amsterdam in 1914 and bear
ing the lengthy explanatory title: THE
art of wrestling and how one can pro
tect oneself in all kinds of Quarrels
that may occur; how one can with agil-
ity and rapidity repel all unfair at
tacks and meet ones adversary with
science" The work is illustrated. The
author apparently anticipated many of
the characteristic grips of the Japa-
neSe opponents of today.
