Various Devices That Have Been Uss.s

In lettering Prisoner.
In Fergtl is to be found the first 10
corded instance OF the use of hand
Guns, for the poet tells us that Proteus
was thus fettered and rendered pow
erless by Aristaeus. who apparently
knew that even the gods themselves
were not proof against this form of
persuasion.
In the fourth century b. G. an army
OF victorious Greeks found several
chariots full OF handouts among the
baggage OF the defeated Cartha ginians.
and IL Is highly probable that the an
cient Egyptians had some contrivance
OF the kind. The word Is derived
from the Anglo-Saxon "handcop."
whence comes evidently the slang
term copper"
In earliest Saxon days "handcops"
were used for mobiles and foot cops"
for kings. but I'm the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries the word is sup
planted by the terms shack bolt'' and
swivel manacle," and the Instruments
were as cumbersome as the names by
which they were known.
Up TO the middle OF the last century
there were two kinds OF handcufr In
general use. One. known as the "fexi-
bie." was very like that which Is
still used; the other kind. called the
figure eight" was used to restrain
violent prisoners. 1t was so fashioned
that the captive could not move his
hands and was universally dreaded.
Tor the pain caused by limb immov-
ably confined is almost unbearable.
simple but powerful device for Sc
curing prisoners was the "twister."
now abolished owing to the injuries
1t inflicted. 1t consisted OF chain
with handles at each end. The chain
was put around the wrists, and the
handles were brought together and
twisted until q firm grip was obtained.
The least struggle on the part OF the
captive and the chains bit deep into
his wrists. or the same nature. but
made Of wire, Is ia ligote." while In
an emergency whipcord has proved
perfectly satisfactory.
The handcuff used I'm some parts Of
eastern Europe is most primitive. 1t
consists Of V shaped piece Of metal,
In which the wrists are inserted. the
open ends being then drawn toge Their
by means OF cross hook. which must
be kept taut the whole time. The
most handy form of cuff. which is IN
general use at present. comes from
America. 1t is lighter and much less
clumsy than the old flexible"
1t is no easy matter TO clap the
bracelets on person who Is strug-
CLING violently. Inventors should turn
their attention to the subject. for much
remains to be done before the fighting
prisoner can be quickly and strongly
secured without harm to himself or
his captor.-London Globe.

 TUCSON IS DESIRED
Arizona star.l

For the purpose Of reyiying the Country club, about which there are many inquiries from prospective win ter residents, Secretary Tailor of the Chamber of Commerce has written to similar organizations to get sag gestions. He was of the opinion that Tucson can have just as fourishing a Country club as other cities.
 Yesterday Secretay Fallor received Q reply from H. T. Hamilton, secre- tary of the Warren District Country club. This organizations has eleven life members. who paid s250 initia- tion fees and have 10 dues to pay. There are 1S5 active members who paid $50 each far a share of capital stock and pay s2 per month dues. There are also 25 non resident mem bers who pay s25 initiation fees and s1 per month as dues. The Warren District Country club, which is To- cated about five miles from Bisbee. offers its hearty cooperation in the organization Of a club here.
 For the amusement Of tourists who spend the winter in Tucson just to be in a pleasant climate, and also for the benefit Of seni-inyalids who need light open-air exercise, a country club is a great attraction. President Taft has giyen\ golf an impetus which makes it a mild rival for the honor of being the national game, and the Tucson golf links were once good ones and can easily be restored There are many golf enthusiasts fl Tucson already who want to see tho Country club revived, and propo sition now On foot to have the stree railway track extended to thelink' will be a big boost.

 T celebrated too much yesterday, your honor," said the lone Mexican prisoner. I had splendid time in Agua Prieta and must have enjoyed myself too much. Yes, I got drunk, but I got along all right until l came across the line on my way home. Then I fell into the hands of the officers. How much is it, Your Honor?"
 Judge Rice looked his lone prisoner over. heard what he had to say about the celebration and then re- piled As this is your country's in- dependence day. like our Fourth or July, will let you of easily. On any other occasion the fine would be $10, but under the circumstances will cut the fine in two. and assess you s5. Don't expect this another time however"

From there word was received yesterday that he had become so violent that other arrange ments would have to be made for him. When he became afflicted R. s. Vickers, who knew him well in a business way in Moctezuma was no- tified, and he has thus far made all possible arrangements for St. Johns comfort and care. He also notified relatives of the patient in the East, who sent word that all possible com forts be given him and that they would come on to look after fur ther arrangements themselves,
 St John is character in Sonora. He has been prominent in mining matters and is a man of education and polish. He has many friends all through Northern Mexico, who will be sorry to learn of his misfor- tune.
