The Egyptians certainly used both cotton and linen materials. for fragments of such stutfS have been preserved among the other relics of their ancient civi- liZatioE. and there is much reason to believe that the elaborate draperies of the ASSyrianS were cotton or tnuSlins finely woven and of delicate texture In China. too. and India the same kinds of material have been the co'5i mon wear of the people from time m memorial li fact. everywhere thrGugt out the ea@ cotton fabrics were pro duced ard used long before the prini tive Europeans had begun to develop any of the sraces of civilization or in deed had ceased to be anything but skin clad savages.

CoIors of the Stars.

Although there is no relation ap- parent betwen the two phenomena. yet it is interesting to recall the fact that among the stars certain colors ap- pear to characterize different stages of change, or evolution. Red stars, ac- cording to the testimony of the spec troscope, differ widely in their consti- tuition from white or yellow ones, ana it has been thought that varying col ors may give clew to progressive changes in the heavenly bodies. Sirius for instance. is said to have changed from red to white, and some have sus' pected that Arcturus is fading from red toward yellow.

The instru- ment of torture, even dogs leather muZZle, is uncomfortable. How much more the scold's muzzle! It consisted according to high authority, MT. W. levitt, of a kind of crown or frame the head, and it was armed in front with gag, plate or sharp cutting knife or point, which was placed in the poor woman's mouth so as to prevent her moving her tongue, or it was so placed that if she did move it or at tempt to speak it was cut in a most frightful manner With this cage up on her head and with the gag firmly pressed and locked against her tongue the miserable creature, whose sole of pcl IdpS W NIto lddt SuC laAoS VI her voice in defense of her social rights against brutal and besotted husband or had spoken honest truth of some one high in office in her town, was paraded through the streets. led by chain by the hand of a bellman. the beadle or the constable or chained to the pillory, the whipping post or market cross, to be subjected to every conceivable insult and degradation, without even the power left her of asking for mercy or of promising amendment for the future, and when the punishment was over she was turned out from the town hall or the place where the brutal punishment had been inflicted, maimed, disfgured, bleeding, faint and degraded, to be the subject of comment and jeering among her eighbors.-London Family Her ald

ment of a further series Of customs
frauds, according to the Herald today.
This will bring the total amount re-

This latest settlement is in connec.
ton with the so-called drawback
frauds, which have been under investi-
CATION since the original customs
frauds were detected two years ago, as
a result of the disclosures made by
Richard Parr. The drawback cases
grew out of the abuses of the tariff
provision whereby the government
pays back to importers all but l per
cent of the duty paid on imported raw
sugar when the sugar is exported after
being manufactured.
II was alleged that the government
has been paying back to the company
