Miss Marlowe's keen interest in the
subject of the whipping post, as DEM
onstr9ted by the vast number OF au-
thorities and instances which she
quotes 50 freely, is a matter Of mar
vel Should her collection of books on
this mode of punishment increase to
any appreciable extent her library on
the subject will exceed in complete
ness Mrs Minnie Maddern Fiske's
remarkable collection OF tracts on the
subject Of the prevention Of cruelty
to animals.
But while Miss Marlowe willingly
disseminates the knowledge which
she has collected on the subject OF
the whipping post, she most circum-
specify presents the data and re-
serves her judgment.
She tells with charming directness
what pTincesses were in favor Of this
mode of punishment in the dark ages.
how the custom has survived in many
of the countries Of Europe, how there
is a growing sentiment il favor of il
in various States in this country, but

cate or condemn this punitive meas

Lovers whipped Themselves.

In Spain, during the Middle Ages.
a peculiar custom centered around
whipping. Lovers would frequently
go at the head of procession of
friends and whip themselves beneath
the windows of the ladies' whom they
loved If the lady happened to look
out Of the window they redoubIed the
number Of blows, and when the lash
had drawn blood, the ladies would
throw tokens out the window.
Painters. II seems. have contributed
not a little 10 establish and strengthen
the habit and practice Of whipping. In
fact, many Of the old masters in their
pictures have never presented any of
the ancient Anchorites without leaving
some spare corner of their canvas
whereupon to place either whips or
rods
There are many references to
whipping in the Bible. We md il
mentioned in the Old Testament in the
fifth chapter of Exodus. in which it IS
said that the minister of Pharaoh, as
a punishment to the Israelites. ordered
them tc be forced and that the Israe-
ftes complained of this hard usage.

play is exactly the discipline necessary

Lacedaemon. Once a year the women
unhesitatingly whipped all unmarried
men, and this festival usually resulted
in many happy marriages. f1r. of
