old parish lockups, commonly known

feet six inches diameter inside. The
walls are fifteen inches thick. The
door is of stout oak. studded with
many large iron nails.
The lock Is very strong, and the key

which itself has TO be unlocked by a
spanner before the door key can be
inserted. Ventilation is ,afforded by
small holes punched in an iron plate,
six inches by seven, fixed In the cen

Sir Arthur Mitchell, X. G. b., OF Ed

strange about dreams, laughter and
other commonplace human character
lstics, has advanced the consollng the
ory that blushlng is an achievement OF
which every one who can blush should
be proud.
He says It requires brains TO blush.
Idiots cannot blush; neither can AMI

the fact that tiny infants do not blush,

Just as soon, I'm fact. as the brain be

blushng, he says, the mind always
must be affected 1t is always and
only bodily expression Of mental

II IL natural thing for blusher
TO say that he had tried not TO blush.
No individual bushes Of his own free
will. The blush arises without call In
simultaneously and vanishes almost as
quickly. Neither for It's coming nor
its going is there any exercise of voli-
ton. 1t Is controlled. Sir Arthur says,
