Safe and Swift.

The pupils in No. 3 school in
Bushby knew that whenever Mr..
Lamson paid them visit there was
one question he was sure to ask,
and their answer was always ready.
The other selectmen might pro-
pound geographical or arithmetical
puzzles, but not Mr.. Lamson, chief
of Bushby's fire brigade.
It was the closing day of school,
and the children, having listened to
three addresses with drowsy pa
tience, were glad when Mr.. Lamson
rose to conclude the exercises.
"Now, children" he said cheer
fully, "you have listened most at
tentively to the words of Mr.. Howe,

CART TAIL FLOGGING.

In England Up to 1886.
Although fiogging at the carts tail
Is generally supposed to have ceased
after 1927, various instances are on
record up to 1885 when a man con-
victed Of robbery from the person was
slowly paraded through the principal
street of Saltash with bare back and
fogged at the carts tail, to which one
OF his hands was dashed at either side.
Two men, armed with CATO nine-tails,
laid on heavily and were scOlded
by the beadle or crier in uniform for
not hitting harder" The punishment
was sometimes reduced to farce
when the administering hand had
been we'll "oiled' or belonged to
soft hearted officer Of justice, as in
case mentioned by the poet Cowper
where the thief is the only one con
cerned who suffered nothing.
A youth had stolen some ironwork
at Olney Being convicted" says
Cowper she was ordered to be whip
ped. which operation he underwent at
the carts tail. from the stone house to
the high arch and back again. He
seemed to show great fOrtitude, but it
was all an imposition upon the public.
The beadle who performed it had filled
his left hand with red ocher, through
which after every stroke he drew the
lash of his whip, leaving the appear
ance of a wound upon the skin. but in
reality not hurting him at all. This
being perceived by Constable Hinsch-
comb. who followed the beadle, he
applied his cane without any such
management or precaution to the
shoulders of the too merciful execu-
toner.
1.-THE scene Immediately became more
interesting. The beadle could by no
means be prevailed upon to strike
hard, which provoked the constable to
strike harder, and this double fiogging
continued till q lass of Silver End,
plying the pitiful beadle, thus suffer
ing under the hands of the pitiless con-

EYE wINks.
They Occur on an Average Twenty
Times a Minute.

ney OSCOF on an average WGHNy
Times Minute.
The average person winks his
eyes every three seconds-that is to
say, twenty times a minute, or 1900
times in an hour. This means that
an ordinary days work for pair of
eyelids is from $4,000 to 10000
winks.
A wink is accomplished in about
one-fftieth Of a second, so quickly
that, as anybody may observe for
himself, it does not in the slightest
degree interrupt continuous vision.
But the notion that winking is in
tended by nature to give repose to
the eyes is a mistake, the object of
it being merely to keep the surface
of the sensitive little organs con-
stantly moist. The moisture, which
is necessary for the health of the
eyes, is supplied, Of course, by the
tears.
For this purpose-that is to)say,
to keep the eyes continually bathed
considerable quantities of salty
water are secreted. The water is
flowing all the time and would pour
out over the edges of the eyelids
were it not for an oil which is fur
nished to prevent this. This oil is
secreted and supplied by little
glands along the rims of the lids.
There is also tear duct, which car
ries off the superfuous water and
gets rid Of it.
The mouth of the tear duct is
plainly visible on the edge of the
lower eyelid near the inner corner
of the eye. It is a small pipe, which
leads down into the throat, so that
when one puts into the eyes any
thing with "a pronounced taste, like
cocaine, the flavor of it is presently
distinguishable in the mouth.
The eyelids, if closed, are abso-
lutely water tight. They do not ex-
clude light, however, nearly so we'll
as most people suppose.-Saturday
