Of Ewes offending daughters was the
ducking stool. known as the tumbrel
and the trebuchet. A post, across
which was transverse beam turning
on a swivel and with chair at one

pond. Into the chair the woman was

chosen for this purpose when avail

or if the water inflamed her instead
of acting as a damper she was let
down times innumerable until she was
exhausted and well nigh drowned.
From the frequency with which we
find it mentioned in old local and
county histories, in church wardens'
and chamberlains' accounts and by the
poets (Gay, for one, has a description
of the process in his third pastoral,
"The Shepherds Week') we shall
probably not be wrong in concluding

Cheao Money for School Dlstricts

The state of Washington has nearly
81 100000 in cash for investment in
school bonds and is anxious to make
purchases at once.

merous school districts Of the state
which now have outstanding 8 per cent
warrants and bonds will vote to issue
refunding bonds the state board OF
finance will be glad to loan the money
at from to 5 per cent per annum,
which, on a million dollars worth OF
bonds, means saving to the taxpayers
from the present per cent obligations
of between $4,000 and $4,000 a
year.
The states million is chiefly derived
from sales of state lands and timber.

Marble POLISHING,

Marble polishing is simple and

Three grades Of emery are used, and
it's only about minute to each grade.
Next come three doses of felt, each
time the felt growing finer in grade.
The felt is attached in a layer to a
fiat wheel, spun by electricity. and as
it huns you can see the marble be-

IN. katirs rhouaht Il a Joke.

/ once took some Kaffirs from their
desolate homes in the more deSolate
gorges beyond the mountain ranges to
the more civilized south. Like most
savages, they looked with stupid in
difference at the marvels about them,
and once only were they excited by an
incident which opened their eyes to
what they considered most extraor-
binary and unnatural state of things.
They were descending road when
one of them CHANGED to remark that
he was hungry, and the English
"sahib" bought him some food at a
wayside shop. The Kaffir saw the
money change hands.
How is this?" he inquired in sur
prise. DO you have to pay for food
In this country?"
Certainly"
What a country" cried the man in
amazement. Then. after bordering
awhile, he continued doubtfully: Sup
pose a man had no money in this
country. He might starve."
1T is quite possible"
The Kaff1r shook with uncontrol-
liable laughter. 1t was the best joke
he had ever heard. He then explain

panions. and they roared in chorus.

The Wonderful Banana

Some people believe that the banana
was the original forbidden fruit Of the
garden of Eden. In any case it is one
of the curiosities of the vegetable
kingdom, being not tree, palm, a
bush, shrub, vegetable, or an herb,
but an herbaceous plant with the status
of a tree. Although it sometimes at
tains height of thirty feet there is no
woody fibre in any part of its structure,
and the punches growing on the dwarf
banana plant are often heavier than the
stalk which supports it. No other
plant gives such quantity of food to
the acre as. the banana. 1t yields a.
times more by weight than the potato
and 1873 times more than wheat. More
over, no insect will attack it, and it is
always immune from diseases Of any
kind

Ancient Table Courtesies.

In the Ambrosian library at Milan
there is a thirteen century manuscript
entitled Fifty Courtesies Of the Ia
ble." Its author is Fra Bonvesin Of
Riva, and it throws an interesting
light on the table manners of those
times. do not" writes this rigorous
censor, "fill your mouth too full. The
glutton who fills his mouth will not
be able to reply when spoken to-" The
perfect diner is adjured not to soak
his bread in his wine, for" adds the
writer, ''if any one should dine with
me and thus fish up his victuals l
should not like it." But of the fifty
"courtesies" mentioned by the ecclesi-
astic the prize most certainly must be
awarded to the following: Let the
hands be clean, and, above all, do not
at table scratch your head, nor, indeed,
any portion of your body" After this
the advice to refrain from wiping
ones fingers on the tablecloth comes
as an anticlimax.

the parlor of a certain Philadelphia

few minutes until her mother should
appear.
