TONS. Golf, polo, tennis. bathing,
INCORPORATING, sailing and canoeing
are among the varied pleasures
which fill the days at country clubs

Athletics and outdoor sports OF
every description form an important

and good constitution are gained
by these sports An important con
sideration is not to become so alb
sorbed in sports or In the cultiva-
ton of physical perfection as to for
get the relative value of things.
Outdoor sports may be an educa-
ton in many ways. When games are
played collectively they help to
teach good manners, self-control,
obedience to leader, or the yield
ing to an umpire. Courteous ac-
quiescence to what may seem an
unfavorable or an unjust decision
from an umpire is test OF temper
Rules for referees and polo players
are that decisions are given de-
cisively and no discussion or re-
mark by the players is allowable
Strict compliance with the rule for
players is therefore quite training
in manners. Although all the world
does not play polo, this hint of the
etiquette of the game points to the
fact that good manners should be
practised on tennis court, or
baseball field, as we'll as on a polo
ground.

Gently revived. 1t was in force DUR
ing Colonial days, but after the Civil
War it was discovered that a woman
desiring to get rid of a husband
would not hesitate to go upon the
beaten her. AS the man once
the law was for time repealed.
Then aggravated cases of wife-beat-
ing became numerous, and SO the
punishment was revived.
The whipping post in Delaware
has been q means Of Furnishing law
breakers since its early history. In
the chronicles of Diedrich Knicker-
booker is reference to it. In 1856,
the punishment was administered at
the pleasure OF the Governor, there
being no regular laws The first
official whipping occurred in 1879,
when Agnita Hendricks, a depraved
woman, was whipped with twenty
seven lashes. WithiL' few months,
she repeated her offense, was whip
ped with thirty-one lashes and was
banished from the State.
The first code of laws for the
punishment of criminals was passed
in 1717 by General Assembly COM
posed of delegates from 1.-The coun-
ties of New Castle. Kent and Sussex

Of Pennsylvania" 1t provided that

TN this day OF enlightenment and
tender care for the defective
and erring members Of the COM
munity there are still intelligent men
and women who say that we should
revive the whipping post for certain
crimes.
England still uses the cat-o'-nine-
tails MS a punishment for atrocious
offences against the person, and has
recently made 1t applica Bile to the
bideous crimes OF the white slavers.
In our country, the fine old State OF

statement on this page by the Gov

Nevertheless 1t is probably true
that the majority OF Americans re-
gard Jogging as barbarous. The ten

that the agony and humiliation OF
the lash is the only punishment that
can reach the sensibilities of tho
brutes who commit atrocious crimes
against women and children. II Is
barbarous punishment for a bar

Strange to say. experience has
shown that they have a certain kind

when they are publicly logged.

being whipped is more than they
can bear.
