DIARY OF FATHER TIME
Some people think the temperance
movement is a modern one, and while
it is true the present movement be-
gan in the first quarter of the nine
teenth century, still can remember
attempts of the Chinese at temper
ance reform as early as eleven CEN
turtles B. c. Some of their emperors,
indeed, made strenuous temperance
reforms and not satisfied with sim
ply forbidding the manufacture and
sale of liquor even went so far as to
order all Of the vines in the kingdom
uprooted. And then the Buddhists
also spread total abstinence ideas far
and wide, and among the Hebrews
in olden times were various absti-
nence sects and orders.
The Carthiginians forbade wine in
the camps or among magistrates
holding public Office. King Edgar linn
tied the number of taverns and the
size of the beer pots. Then at a more
recent date, in 1854, when George
Neville was made Archbishop of
York, saw 800 tuns of ale and 100
of wine destroyed. In 1858, 12,4OO,-
900 barrels of beer was drunk by a
population of 100000 in England,
but this love of beer was replaced in
the eighteenth century by a craving
for gin and retailers hung out signs
saying, Drunk for Id. Dead drunk
for I'd. Straw for nothing" Then
the lawmakers got busy and finally
gin again gave way to beer.

10 tAs Editor Of The Dventns World:
Residents of Millerton are sur
prised that The Evening World has
not - yet catalogued the William
Tnvers Jerome Pillory Hound which
he has had for years at his country
place at IAkeville across the Con-
necticut line. The dog strayed upon
his place and showed . strange
fascination for Mr.. Jerome, who has
then in the process Of raiding and
speechmaking which ended with his
election to the office Of District
Attorney. The dog. which Mr..
Jerome named Seth Low. seemed
nike an ordinary. very large and
swift greyhound and his real pur-
pose in the economy Of nature was
revealed to Mr.. jerome only By &C.
cadent.
Mr., Jerome was reprovng his son
William T. jr., then small boy.
for eating green apples. Hearing the
stern tones Of reproof which coming
from judicial HIPS were In the nj
ture of the announcement OF con-
vtction and sentence OF crime. the
dog sidlsd up to the boy and be-
gan lashdng him with his long.
hairisss. bony tail. Young william
shouted In his pain and ned to the
house; but the dog rotted beside
him felentlessly. lashins the culprit
where he would feel the punishms
most. raising purple welts.

the dog to the town lookup. Mr..
Jerome found that the dogs be.

that he had obviously been trained

Aylesbury and Other Ducks.

Although not popular in this coun-
try as is the white Pelxin duck, the
white Aylesbury duck is extensively
bred in England and Europe. These
ducks receive their name from Ayles-
bury. England, and weigh on an average
of fifteen pounds to the pair.
They mature early and are hardy
and are prolific layers. a peculiarity of
the Aylesbury is that its bill is naturally
a pale flesh color. but if exposed to the
summer sun the bill has a tendency to
become yellow. Despite the fact that
these ducks are not we'll liked here.
the government experts believe there is a
good market for them here and recon-
mend them second to the Pekins.
The Rouen ducks are natives of France,
it is believed. but no positive proof of
that has ever been obtained. Exactly
how they came into this country first has
never been learned either. but they are
bred in large flocks in Normandy and
take their name from the city of Rouen.
These too. are hi4l lly recommended by
the government Investigators who have
made Investigations and experiments and
deem them a bird OF excellent flesh for
the table. They are hardy, like the Ayles-
