Revolving Punishments.

Punishments, in the old days were Of
the most revolving character. Boiling for
prisoners, burning for petit treason and
heresy, and hanging, drawing and quar-
tering for treason were some Of Its forms.
The awful scenes outside Newgate during
the days of public executions are fresh
in the minds of many now living. Until
the middle of the eighteenth century
prisoners who refused to plead were
pressed. to death with heavy weights
Mr.. Cooper quotes from the records Of
the old days when prisoners were trans
ported to show the horrors of our GRIM
ina1 code less than 100 years ago. In
1929 one snip took 100 convicts to New
South Wales for such offenses as stealing
an apron. life; stealing bacon. life; steal
ing two pounds of potatoes, fourteen
years: stealing a pair of shoes. fourteen
years.
From these horrors we can turn with
pleasure to our newer, better and more
humane methods of. treating crime. New
gate has gone-Borstal remains. And q
word must be said of the work Of the
noble men and women whom Mr.. Cooper
mentions and who did SO much to re-
form our prison methods.

Had Overlooked the Brooder.

Our next venture led us again to the
incubator establishment, where we learn
ed that we should have added a brooder
to our outfit. We added 1t. and for the
sake of the initiated I will explain that
a brooder consists Of runways and sun
parlors and places to feed in. supposed to
be kept at different temperatures, so that
when chicken prefers to roast to death
in the glassed portion he can do SO, or
II he likes the oldfashioned method of
smothering by his brothers aid he can
do that in another part. The brooder
added to our troubles by making them
more complex.
About this time I was taken over a
perfect incubating plant and the man.
ager showed me all its wonderful ar
rangements and gave me the Asult LOT

had learned perfectly, that whoever
Matched the first chickens by putting the
hen on the eggs knew what he was about.

has none

Troubles Begin at the Start.

The incubator was constructed for a
hundred eggs and our second purchase of
the common or garden variety filed 1t.
Then we waited. like the wise virgins,
keeping the lamps burning, and that in
itself was no mean task. until the eggs
began to hatch. OF the first hundred we
Matched about three-quarters and we
thought our troubles were over.

one Of the pamphlets. whose author had
moments of an invalid conscience:
Heaven help the invalid woman or the
sick man who tries to raise chickens
It seemed to me then just an exaggera-
ton. but whoever wrote it ought to have
a special paragraph devoted to the won
derful restraint of his style
The nights we passed sleepy, disgust

There are just 100000 different ways
that an incubator chicken can die, and

all. OF course the pamphlet left Off at
their birth and we knew nothing Of what
followed. OF the first 100 two chickens

MONEY IN CHICKENS
THAT IS, AFTER ABOUT A YEAR
OF EXPERIMENTING.
A Woman Who Tried Tells All
About Her Experiences With
Artificial Biddies.

From the Chicago News.
A young woman living near Chicago
raised chickens. She doesn't any more.
The other day she told why.
There comes time in the life of every
body in a city when the desire to seek
the farm and make money raising chick
ems is overmastering," she said. There
is only one way to make yourself i'm
mune, and that rs to try it. Personally
I took one year out of my life for the
experiment, and, just as reached the pay
ing basis destiny closed that page in my
career. But there are times when 1 feel
that 1 must raise my voice in protest
against the idea that raising chickens is
an easy thing and that if you have a few
dollars all you have to do Is to start in

Read About Great Profits.

II was led to my doom by a story
read in a magazine. 1t told how one
woman cleared $4,000 the first year at
raising chickens. There was a picture of
the woman gayly throwing corn in the
air, while the ground was covered with
chickens.
Il showed the picture to sister and we
went out and provided ourselves with
chicken pamphlets and for weeks fed our
young minds on the alluring literature Of
incubators. Finally we packed up and
went back to the farm, where father and
mother were passing their declining years
in the peace that comes to the middle
aged.
I'VE announced our purpose to become
millionaires and took possession. Then
we went to town and bought an incu-
bator.
I'VE paid $25 for 1t. It was the best Of
its kind. Then we purchased some eggs
and about dozen articles for which we
never had any use-cute little drinking
fountains, neat little baskets that the
hens were going to lay in and other
things which a shopkeeper induced us to
add to our original purchase.

.ENG[AND'S HISTORIC PEN
STORY OF NEWGATE AND THE
OLD BAILEY,
Glimpses Ino the Dark Days When
Crime Was Visited With Bar
barous Penalties.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London chronicle
The story Of Newgate and the Central
criminal court has always fascination
for us. however it may be presented. The
great crimes which have been unraveled
at the Old Bailey and the great criminals
who have appeared In the dock there
make up a page Of history which cannot
be overlooked by any student Of human
affairs.
This story is told in a splendid volume
which has been compiled by Mr.. w. Eden
Cooper: The Central Criminal Court of
London: Being Survey of the History OF
the Court, and of Newgate, the Fleet and
other jails, ETC.. etc" Mr.. Cooper has is
| sued this work in commemoration Of the
present court of King Edward
| To sum up, the volume is one OF the
handsomest specimens OF the printers
| and binders art that has appeared In re-
| cent years, and will no doubt be eagerly
sought after by bibliomaniacs in the flu
ture
| The book is not and was never intended
to be a record of criminal trials. 1t is
| made up of description Of Newgate and
the Old Bailey and Of the treatment of
criminal law is dealt with. and the pun
Fishments imposed by that law: and there
| is q. chapter which treats of the methods
of dealing with crime by magistrates and
the ponce 1OrCe LII Ills OpeNlIS Tciidi AoS
Mr.. Cooper reviews these methods and
compares the ancient practice with the
modern. And while the former was ut
terly brutal and degrading" he does not
consider that present-day methods are be-
yond reproach. There is the question of
widely unequal sentences for similar Of
lenses, and Of "unduly severe and even
vicious sentences which are sometimes
| imposed. Mr.. Cooper suggests board
| for the consideration of sentences, to re-
view the decisions Of those who by tenn
permanent are untitled to sit in judgment
on criminals. AS for the police force, Mr..
Cooper contrasts the efficiency and purity
of our present force with that Of a hun
dred years ago. when false swearing
and conspiracy to obtain convictions were
matters Of everyday occurrence" But
even now, he goes on to say. unceasing
vigilance is required to keep the force up
to high level. He quotes the remark Of
detective officer. that the police can
put it in light, or can put 1t in heavy"
and the admission that 1t Is always safe
to arrest a once-convicted man on sus-
picion.
