Various Devices That Have Been Used
In lettering Prisoners.
In Vergil is to be found the first re-
corded instance of the use of hand
cuffs, 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 Carthaginians,
and it is highly probable that the an
cient Egyptians had some contrivanee
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 In 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 handcuff In
general use. One, known as the "fexi-
ble," 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.

with handles at each end. The chain
was put around the wrists, and the

to be the Fathers Agent in the rescue
of Adam and his race from sin and
death, nevertheless we believe that
his chief joy In connection with the
matter was that thus he might demon

by his submission and obedience.
Our Lords own words were, Father,

the Fathers proposed exaltation of
him as a reward, but he did not men

Father that when he had accom-
plished the Divine purpose he might
have back the same honor and posi-
ton and divine favor which he had
laid aside when he humbled himself
to become Adams redemption price,
the worlds Savior. Such modesty
and loyalty are difficult for us to
comprehend because of our fallen.

To give aims is nothing unless you

Death Of a Little Child.

On Friday morning, Oct. 18th,
1910, about 2 o'clock the angel OF
death entered the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. I. F. Davenport, of Wilson,
and took from them their sweet lit
tie baby, Ruth Gertrude. She was
only IL months old, but God had
permitted her little life to remain
with us long enough to be loved by
all who knew her. Ruth was sweet,
attractive child, but He who doeth
all things, well needed her worse
than mama and papa, and thought
it best to take her from this sinful
world, and carry her to a better
world where she will never know
sorrow. All that loving hands
could do was done for her, but to no
avail, for little Ruth could not STAY
with US any longer. We laid her
little body to rest in the cemetery at
Scotland Neck, and with bowed
heads and heart filled with grief, we
left her to remain until the last day
when all bodies shall rise from their
last resting place. Weep not fond
parents for your precious baby, but
may you bow in humble submission
to your Father in Heaven, may the
thought comfort you that you have
one little angel there with dimpled
hands reckoning you to come up
higher, and may God bless you and
keep your hearts from sin that you
may again in the future clasp your
darling in your arms. S. P.

aged 20 years, 6 month and IA days,
at the home of Mr.. Ben Staten,
near town, where she went to stay
with her cousin as a companion and
was stricken down with that dreaded
disease, typhoid fever, from which
she never recovered. lola was q
quiet, sweet spirited girl, and loved
by all who knew her. She suffered
much but, seemed to be patient, and
was ready to go when the summons
cam. Two brothers, one sister,
three half brothers, and a host OF
other relatives and friends mourn
their loss, which will be only tempo
rary, if they are fat hful. All of
these have my deepest sympathy in
this sad hour.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
from which none ever wakes to weep.
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the least Of foes.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbllng sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall

death angel entering and taking lit
tie Robert, the baby, age three veal S
two months and three days. For
eight days he suffered with the dread
full disease Of diphtheria, and all
was done that physicians and devoted
parents could do. Robert was a
good child and had a bright smile for
everybody. He was the sunshine Of
the home. 1t is hard to give him w,
but, dear parents, lean hard on the
strong arm Of Jesus, for he alone
doeth all things well.
There is a pair Of little hands
Laid to rest for evermore;
There are two pearl ~ dimpled cheeks
Whose rich blossoming is Ger.
Death has sealed two little eyes
Which will no more smile or weep,
There is another bud removed
Ere it felt the blight of sin;
Through the doors the angel moved
Darling baby has passed in.
He has reached the golden shore,
Crossed the river cold and deep;
Angels bore him safely over,
Little Robert has gone to sleep.
