EASY HOSPITALITY.
Food Abundance In Virginia In tn,
Seventeenth Century.

Food Abundance In Virginia In the
Seventeenth Century.
Few countries of the world have
possessed so abundant and varied
supply of food as Virginia during the
seventeenth century. This partly ex-
plains, writes P. A. Bruce in Social
Life In Virginia In the Seventeenth
Century" the hospitable disposition of
the people even in those early times.
The herds of cattle. which ran almost
wild, afforded an inexhaustible supply
Of milk. butter. cheese, veal and beef.
Deer were shot in such numbers that
people cared little for venison. So
abundant were chickens that they
were not included in the inventories Of
personal estates. No planter was so
badly off that he could not have a fowl
on his table at dinner.
Vast focks CT wild ducks and geese
frequented the rivers and bays and
were looked on as the least expensive
portion of the food which the Virgin
fans had to procure. Fish of the most
delicate and nourishing varieties were
caught with hook or net Oysters and
shellfish could be scraped up by the
bushel from the bottom of the nearest
inlet or tidal stream.
Apples. peaches. plums and figs
grew in abundance. Not only were
grapes cultivated. but excellent vari.
cites grew wild through the forest.
Such an abundance of wild strawber-
ries could be gathered that no attempt
was made to raise the domestic berry.
The watermelon fourished, and in
hominy. the roasting ear and corn
pone the virginians possessed articles
of food of great excellence, which were
entirely unknown to the people Of the
old world. There was produced on
every plantation an extraordinary
quantity of walnuts. chestnuts. hazel
nuts and hickory nuts. Honey was
obtainable in abundance, both from
domestic hives and from hollow trees

A STRANGE SENTENCE.
Punishment For Murder That VS.
More Cruel Than Death.

Punishment For Murder That VS.
More Cruel Than Death.
In 1901 q man died In the Catskills
who had been condemned by one Of
the strangest sentences on record.
Ralph Sutherland was bern n I70l and
lived in stone house nesr Leeds. He
was man Of ,violeslt temper and mo-
rose disposition, Stunned by his neigh.
bors. aud generally disliked. Not be-
ing able to get an American servant.
he imported Scotchwoman. and, &C.
cording to the usages Of the times, vir-
tually held her in bondage until her
passage money had been refunded.
Unable to endure any lanxer the
raging temper of her master. the girl
ran away. Immediately upon discov-
ering her absence the man set OF In
an angry chase upon his horse aud
soon overlook her. The poor woman
never reached the house alive. and
Sutherland was indicted and arrested
on the charge of murder.
At the trial he tried to prove that
his horse had taken fright. run away.
pitched him out of the saddle and
dashed the girl to death upon the
rocks. but the jury did not accept the
defense, and Sutherland was sentenced
to die upon the scaffold.
| Then came the plea of the INSULT
cheney of circumstantial evidence and
the efforts of influential relatives.
These SO worked upon the court that
the judge delayed the sentence Of
death until the prisoner should be
ninety-nfne years old.
1t was ordered that the culprit
should he released on his own recog-
nizance and that, pending the final ex-
ecution of his sentence. he should keep
hangman's moose about his neck and
show himself before the judges of
Catskill once year to prove that he
wore his badge of infamy and kept
his crime in mind. 1t was a more
cruel decision than the sentence of i'm.
mediate death would have been, but
it was no doubt in harmony with the
spirit of the times.
Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He al
ways lived alone. He seldom spoke.
His rough. imperious manner had
gone. Years followed years. At each
session Of the court the broken man
came before the bar of justice and ST.
lently showed the moose that circled
his neck.
At last his ninety-ninth year came,
the time when the court had ordered
that the utmost penalty of the law
should be executed. For the last time
the man tottered before the judges
bench, but new judges had arisen in
the land, new laws had been. made, old
crimes had been forgotten or forgiven.
and there was none who would accuse
him or execute sentence. Indeed, the
awful restriction that had bound his
life so intimately to the expiation of
his crime was now legally removed.
But the spirit Of self punishment
continued, and when Sutherland, after
he had passed his hundredth year, was
discovered dead. alone in his house, his
throat was found, to be encircled by
the rope which had been placed there
nearly three-quarters Of century be-
