CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
RIDING THE STANG.


In the north of England 1t was
formerly the custom to punish
wife-beating, hen-pecking and
other frailties incident to mar
ried life by a peculiar process
known as riding the stang" 1t
was so called because the leader
was borne on a stang" the north
country word for a chair fastened
on two poles. In Southern Eng
land the process is called rough
music" The offender was called
upon by company of men, wom-
en-, and children and treated to a
loud and boisterous serenade, the
instruments being cows horns.
fire shovels, tongs, frying pans,
pot lids used as cymbals, tin pals,
and other implements and uten-
sils capable of producing loud
and discordant noises. Along
with the din the serenaders
would keep up a constant hoot-
ing and yelling, and make many
jeering remarks to the culprit. II
one application was not SUFFICIENT,
the performance would be re-
peated; sometimes, In fiagrant
cases. every evening for week.
This form of punishment Is
known to have been meted out to
wife-beaters as late as 1852. and
there is some ground for believ-
ing that the custom still survives
among. the lower classes in some
parts of England. In this coun-
try newly welded couples are
sometimes treated to a serenade
somewhat resembling the above
ceremony. but II is always good
natured and does not carry the
idea OF punishment We call Il
'charivari," pronounced "shiv-a-
rec"

WHERE THERE is
NO SANE FOURTH

From the Springfield Republican.
The Fourth of July is still some little
way of, but 1t is not too soon to give
thought to the restrictions that will gov
ern the sale and use of fireworks on In
dependence day. The chief of the district
police has already sent out warnings, call
ing attention to the restrictions govern
ing the keeping and sale of fireworks. so
that there can be no complaint of in
sufficient warning on the part of the
dealers, In fact, there would not have
been after last year even If no special
pains had been taken to inform them.
The local and State regulations closely
restrict the use of dangerous explosives,
and the Springfield police expect TO see
that the regulations are observed this
year. Universally the results of the
campaign against the time-hOnored
abuses of the holiday have abundantly
justified it, and evidently the move
ment will go much further before it is
finally ended.
From the Cleveland Leader.
Members of the Cleveland Independ-
ence Day Association are going to start
a real live campaign this week to tell
the people what sane Fourth means.
Those on the committee in charge Of the
work expect to conduct meetings in a
tent
The tent will be pitched in different sec
tions of the city every few days until
the campaign closes. There will be
stereopticon views flashed upon a screen
showing historical scenes of interest.
One Of Edison's latest films, "A Sane
Fourth" now displayed in one of the
moving picture houses, will be used.
Committeeman have promised to give
talks, and there will be lots of singing
by some of the best known quartets in
the city.
I'VE have concluded it's too hot to
hold these meetings in the halls, so
We are going to use tent" said Lewis
H. Brittin, chairman of the executive
committee, yesterday afternoon. I'VE
can carry the tent around with US, and
believe We can reach a greater number of
people by going out among them"

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
Information Of Importance to Everyone

A great deal of pain and suffering
might be avoided if we had some know
ledge of physiology and the care of the
the most work and should always be
kept strong and healthy.
In an interview with a prominent
| physician he states that people should
| pay more attention to their kidneys as
they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more rich,
heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys
to do more work than Nature intended.
Evidence of kidney trouble, such as
lame back, inability to hold urine,
smarting or burning, brick-dust or sedi-
ment, sallow complexion, rheumatism,
may be weak or irregular heart action,
warns You that your kidneys require
help Immediately to avoid more serious
trouble.
An herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiatcs has the most healing
influence. An IDEAL herbal compound
that has had remarkable success as q
kidney remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root

Swamp-Root by mail, absolutely free.
