STYLES IN HANDCUFFS.
Tho Old Time "Twisters" Were In.
struments of Torture.

1t is in the Aeneid that we find the
first reference to the handcuff. Vergil
informs us that Proteus was, by means
of such device. fettered and rendera9
helpless by Aristaeus.
Ii is of record that about 400 years
before the Christian era an army of
victorious Greeks came upon several
chariots of Carthaginians which,
among other things. contained large
number Of handouts.
Our term "handcuff' is derived from
the Anglo-Saxon "handcop" In the
Saxon days these handcops were used
In the case Of mobiles, while "footcops"
were reserved for kings. The terms en-
ployed in the fourteenth century were
"shack bolt and swivel manacle."
and the specimens thereof which have
come down to us show that the instru-
ments We're as cumbersome as their
names
Only two kinds of handouts were en-
ployed previously to the nineteenth
century. One, the flexible. was very
similar to that now in use, and the 9th
er, which was called "the figure
eight" was utilized to restrain violent
prisoners. This figure eight was
greatly dreaded. since severe pain was
occasioned the fettered person did he
attempt to move limb.
There used to be form of handcuff,
now happily abolished, called the
"twister." This consisted of chain
with handles at each end. This chain
was placed about the wrists: the han
dies were brought together and twisted
until n firm grip was obtained. The
least struggle on the part of the I'M
fortunate captive resulted in the great
est suffering. for the chains bit deeply
into his flesh. A sirsilar form of hand
cuff was that called by the French ia
ligote.'
In some parts Of Europe there is still
used an exceedingly primitive form of
handcuff. II consists OF V-shaped
piece OF metal. wherein the wrists are
inserted, the open ends being drawn to-
gether by means OF cross hook,
which. however, must be maintained
taut during the whole time the captive
is held.
The most ingenius and effective OF all
handouts Is that used in the United
States and. indeed. adopted by the po-
hce Of most civilized countries. II Is
much lighter and much less clumsy
than the old flexible handcuff and Is
not painful to the wesrer.-Harpers

Rescued the TRASH

One Of the most highly priced manu-
scripts OF recent times was rescued
Just In time from a cupboard In a
house where the poet had for some
time lived as a bachelor. This was
the manuscript OF "In Memoriam."
and 1t was to the poet himself that
the recovery was due. for he remem-
bered that the book wherein he had
transcribed the original draft had been
hastily thrust into the cupboard. where
Tennyson also had been accustomed
to keep his pickles and jams. When
the friends sent by the poet to recover
the manuscript arrived on the scene
the contents Of the cupboard had been
removed by the landlady. who was
just then engaged in her task OF house
cleaning and tartly advised her visl.
tors that they had come none too soon,
inasmuch as she would that day have
burnt all the trash" she had found

TRUSTEES FIXED
DAMAGE TO VINE.
HAWKS ESTATE
At Special Meeting for that
Purpose Friday Night
FIGURES PLACED AT $500
Alleged Injury Sustained Through
Erection Of Telephone Poles and
Wires on North Street.

The trustees held a special meet
ing Friday evening for the purpose
of disposing of some matters that
had been pending for some time.
All of the members except Trustee
Buss were present, President Ward
presided and Clerk Hagen and Cor
poration Attorney Maurer were in
attendance.
The first proposal taken up was
the petition of the heirs of the late
William f. Hawks requesting that
the board assess the amount of
damage to the property on North
street created by the erection of a
line of telephone poles and wires.
After a long discussion the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
In the matter of the petition of
the William h. Hawks estate to the
board of trustees to appraise the
damage it has sustained by reason
of the erection of the line of wires
and poles on North street AUDITING
the property of said estate, upon
due notice to all parties in interest
a hearing was had on May 9th at s
o'clock in the evening when the rep
resentatives of said estate with
their counsel as well as the New
England Telephone and Telegraph
company were heard and such hear
ing was continued to the 10th of
May, 1918. for further consideration.
And now on said last named date
the said board of trustees do de
termine and adjudge that the said
William 4. Hawks estate has sus-
tanned damage by reason of said
erection of said poles and wires and
the injury to the sidewalk in the
sum of 5000"
President Ward stated that the
members of the censorship commit
tee had informed him that they
should not be present at the meeting
that they believed they had done
their full duty and that they should
leave the matter of regulating the
vaudeville at Library theatre with
the board. The clerk was instruct
ed to write Manager John B, Harte
a letter of caution.
The plans for the proposed sur
face sewer were presented by the
makers and discussed at length.

The inequalities OF mind are numer-
Gus and various as the inequalities OF
matter. One mind sports with worlds,

mines and minerals. One man moves

the drudgery Of life; another ascends
In a balloon and scars above the clouds.
Here we find a Newton measuring
the comets path, Franklin stealing

Of a new world, and there a sportsman
with his hounds In quest OF fox. One
delights in his reveling and song. in
riotous living and the giddy dance. an
other in locking up his golden pelf in
