Public Penancs.

In former times persons guilty OF
yrievous and notorious offenses were
required to make open confession and.
farther, to make satisfaction for the
scandal given by their bad example by
doing penance publicly in white sheet
In their parish church. The sheet was
used to show clearly to every one
which was the offender. The last time
that public penance was done in an
English church was on Sunday even
ing, July so, 1882, when a man named
Hartree, in the church of All Saints.
East Clevedon, made an open confess
sion Of immortality and promised to
perform the penance thus imposed on
him by the vicar. No white sheet was
used on this occasion. The last case in
which one was used appears to have
been one in st. Bridget's church, Ches-
ter, in 1851, but on that occasion the
penance was not public, the church
door being locked. In the previous
year. however, public penance in a
white sheet was done in country
church in Essex, and a similar thing
occurred in Ditton church. near Cam
bridge, in 1S49-Stray Stories.

An Unexpected Check.

A man who won reputation for cool
daring and almost eccentric fearless
ness along a thousand miles of the
southwestern border was A. l.. Par
rot, at one time sergeant in Nc
Nelly's company of Texan rangers.
One night in 1879, about six months
after Parrot left the state service. he
was sitting in a house in little town
in southwest Texas playing chess with
a friend. 1t was a warm night, and
the chessbOard was on table close to
an open window. Parrot had he white
men. His queen was in direct line
with the black king but black knight
was between the two pieces. 1t was.

sharp report outside, and a bullet whis-
tied in through the window. hit the
black knight and buried Itself in the

the board. and the bullet was evidently
intended for his head. But for few
seconds he did not stir. He saw the
black knight suddenly vanish. Then in
his peculiar drawing, hesitating way

existed what was called ''pietra dim

punishment of bankrupts. In Venice
one stands near the Church Of St.

day in carnival week the old time GUS

become bankrupt in the preceding
twelve months led to the stone, and
one by one each stood on its center to
hear the reading of report of his bust

Women In England.

In the seventeenth century. when
Englishwomen were still recognized as
possessing an economic ard political
status side by side with Englishmen,
there was written an Interesting entry
in the church warden's accounts of st.
Martin Sin the-Fields, proving that one
Elizabeth Bartlett was intrusted with
the casting of the second bell and that
all the women employed thus were
paid at the same rate as men for the
same work. Another instance is to be
found in the records Of the Fleet pris
on, of which the first female warden,
appointed in 1917 on the death of her
husband Robert. received the same sal

customed to during his life There

The Quincy valley was visited Sum
day night and Monday with a fine
shower of rain which will be valua-
BILE addition to the moisture which
has already come to the valley. The
farmers everywhere throughout the
fiat are highly pleased with the
prospects, as the fall sown wheat is
from an inch to three inches in
height and we'll stooled. This has
been the result of heavy rains few
weeks ago and continued warm and
first-class wheat growing weather.
Probably two-thirds of the cultivated
ground has been planted to fall
wheat, and with rain in the spring
bountiful crop is assured. The
ground being in very satisfactory
state, much fall blowing has been
done. and the outlook is good that
more warm weather will visit us, Civ
ing the farmers a still better chance
in blowing and the wheat better
growth. So far, no very cold wealth
err has been experienced, only few
days when fire in the houses has
been needed all day. The grasses
and scattered grain along the streets
and roads have sprung up everywhere,
giving the country the experience OF
second spring.

The wig went out AMI S2ve place to

back to nature which accompanied and

why did the wig come in? Some say
that Louis Mi. started the fashion

the monarch. Be that as it may, the

As mechanician Archimedes pro
duced the correct theory of the lever
and invented no less than forty inter
esting devices, including the endless
screw, the pump, the organ and the
burning glass;" with which latter
novel weapon he is said to have set
fire to the ships of an enemy's fleet
from a considerable distance. The sto-
" is probably fabulous, but none the
less interesting. as exhibiting the faith
of the people in the man and as indi-
eating the character of his pursuits.
AS engineer Archimedes was looked
upon as hardly less than a magician.
He produced catapults which threw
enormous stones and heavy pixies at
long range into the ranks of the enemy
or into his ships, and great derrcks
were built by him with which to lift
the attacking craft out of water or to
upset it, destroying all on board. His
proposed use Of the lever meant the
production of the inconceivable inven-
tons in machinery and engineering
construction, and his own estimate of
its Importance was expressed by the
familiar quotation, Give me wherein
to stand and I will lift the earth"
Archimedes was the first and perhaps
the most inventive and greatest of
early engineers. His lever still moves
the world. and his spirit is inherited
by generations of the men who have
made modern civilization possible
