THE sCOLD'S BRlDLE.

Brutal Punishment to Which Women
 Were Once Subjected.
 The prank, or scolds bridle, or gos- sips br.dle, was neither more nor less than a nuZZle. It was in general use in Great Britain from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and in Scot land as we'll women were muZZled for certain ofrenses, some at least of them more imaginary than real. The instru- ment of torture, even dogs leather muzZle, is uncomfortable. How much more the scolds muzzle! It consisted according to high authority, MT. w. levitt, of kind of crown or frame work of iron, which was locked upon tho head, and 1t was armed in front with gag, a 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 1t was so placed that if she did move 1t 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 lending perhaps was that she raised 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 tho 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 tho brutal punishment had been inflicted. maimed. dishgured, bleeding. faint and degraded. to be the subject of comment and jeering among her neighbors.-London Family Her. aid.

Colors of tho Stars.

Although there is no relation ap. parent between the two phenomena, yet 1t 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. and 1t has been thought that varying col. ors may give clew to progressive changes in the heavenly bodies.

Coupon Books for Ice

There is new departure this year
in til method of selling ice in the
residential portions of the city. For
years the custom was to charge SO
much for a season beginning May 1
and continuing for about seven
months. The price several years ago
was S. for the season. For several
years past it was $3.50 a season and
last year a charge of 81 80 a month
was made for the service.
This year, however, the local ice
firm has adopted a new method. They
now sell coupon books, making a
charge of $3.50 for each if paid in adj
vance. The books contain coupons
sufficient for 1000 pounds of ice or at
the rate of % cents per hundred. If
not paid in advance an extra charge
of so cents is eXacted. Cards are
furnished each patron on which are
printed figures so that when hung out
side the iceman knows just exactly
the amount to bring in. No delivery
is made except when the card is dis
played.
In this way it is claimed each per-
son will pay for just what ice he takes
and no more. Whether the new sys-
tenn will be satisfactory can best be
told at the end of the season when
the cost is figured up.
There are some advantages in the
coupon system. One is that a person
is not required to pay for a certain
amount of ice whether it is used or
not, as in cool weather one need take
ice only when needed, thus keeping
down the expense.
