HlDEOUS ~PUNISHMENTS.
Murderers Were Once Buried Alive
Tied to Their Victims.

Murderers Were Once Buried Alive
Tied to Their Victims.
Old time punishment for offenses at
sea was most severe. The code Of the,
time of Richard 1. of England, drawn
up for the government Of his fleet on
the crusades, provided that whose
killed any person on shipboard should
be tied with him that was slain and
thrown into the sea. And If he killed
him on the land he should in like man
ner be tied with the partie slain and
be buried with him in the EARTH"
In Elizabeth's time a thief was to be
ducked three times, towed ashore at
! the stern Of a boat and marooned with
a loaf of bread and a a of beer.
Mutiny was punishable by the -cul-
prit's being hanged by his heels until
his brains were beaten QUITE against
the shyppe's SIDE"
The penalties imposed for sleeping
on watch were progressive. For the
first offense the man was to be head
ed" with a bucket of water; on the
next occasion he was to be strung up
by his wrists and to have two buckets
of water poured into his sleeves; the
third time he would be loaded with
weights and bound to the mast, and
"for the fourthe time he was to be
hanged to the boltsprite, with a can
Of beere and a biscotte Of breade and
a sharp knife, and so to hang and
choose whether he would cutie him
self down and fall into the sea or
hange still and starve."
Among the rules issued by Raleigh
for the governing Of his South Ameri-
can expedition in 1917 was that no
man should be allowed to gamble for
his arms or clothes "on the pain of
being disarmed and made a swabber
of the ship" A general punishment
for blasphemy at this time was for
the offender to be bound to the main
mast with an iron bit between his
teeth. the alternative being a scraping
Of the tongue. All sorts of odd and
frequently hideous punishments are to
be found described in old manuscripts.
In 1875 n man found drunk aboard or
ashore was taken care Of until the

ence Of the ships company he was
presented with a pint Of salt water,
which he had to drink.
The dreaded "cat" Is probably the
best known Of these old naval pun
ishments. Whipping was provided fol
at least as long ago as the fifteenth
century, and in brakes time the reg
ular t%rouncing of the ships boys by
the boatswain on Monday morning
was regarded as the only means Of
insuring a fair wind for the rest Of
the week.-Chicago News.

Modest Kit Carson.

Christopher CKiD Carson touched the
wild life Of the west at more points
than any other person of any time.
But he was always modest, declares a
writer in the Century Magazine, and
disliked anything which savored of
fattery. One day in 1862 the great
frontiersman CHANGED to stop at Max

New Mexico, a we'll known point on

and at no time was he in any sort Of
trouble.
The second flight was as prompt as the
first. but Cooke added a few more evo-
lutions. He went out over the Lagoon
and almost to the side Of the mountain
before turning.
The boy aviator Is absolutely inde-
pendent OF any airship trust, as he has
no royalties to pay. He makes contracts
to fly and pockets the entire proceeds
himself. He and his brother and sister all
live in the hangar at the track.
His biplane files more smoothly than
