DUcKING A Sc0LD.
Punishment a Long Tongue Used to
Win In Old England.

1t Is interesting in these days OF
woman's rights and woman's progress
to eonjure up a picture Of a ~ducking
as practIced In England at the end OF
the eighteenth century.
When the "scold- had been properly
tried and convicted she was escorted
by a crowd Of her neighbors-in fact.
by the whole village-to the nearest
pond. and the greener and Sinner the
pond the better. A long plank was
produced, at one end OF which was the
ducking stool. and in this the scream
ing. struggling victim was securely
pinioned.
The chair end Of the plank'was then
pushed far over the edge OF the pond,
and at a signal it was tilted deep into
the green ooze until the scold was com.
pletely immersed.
When the dripping. half drowned
woman was raised to the surface
again TO the jeers and laughter OF the
onlookers IT car be imagined that her
tongue wagged to some purpose. After
a second dose she emerged more sub
dued, and after a third or fourth she
was as penitent n woman as the vii
lage contained and was allowedio pro
coed home, a sadder and wiser woman
until the next time.-London Tt-Bits.

admit of the removal Of the bodies.
1t is figured that all wars will ultf-
mately end and a condition Of peace
result. Then. with differences settled.
no nation will deny another the right
Of removing its dead. When ali Is
qniet the government will return to
the ~battlefields with its maps. The
graves of its heroes will be opened.
The remains will be disinterred. identi-
fcation will be made and reinterment
in the land for which the dead hero
fought will be made possible.
When the identity Of the individual
has been established the department
will communicate with his relatives.
IL they desire his remains these will be
prepared for transportation to the old
home. They will be brought back to
his own people to be buried as they
wish. All expenses will be borne by
the federal government. If the rela-
tiyes of the dead soldier or sailor pre-
fer that he be buried in a national
cemetery they may SO order and the
orders will be carried out to the letter.
NOT BURIED IN PHILIPPINES
There are the men who have died in
the Philippines, for instance. None OF
these is left to rest in this foreign
tropic land. All are sem back 10 the
states. Relatives are informed Of their
coming. They may order the DISPOSE
ton OF the remains as they see fit. In
case there Is 10 call for the remains Of
the Philippine veteran, his body is in
TERED In the national cemetery at San
Francisco and duly marked.
During the civil war there We're
great numbers Of Confederate soldiers
taken prisoners and held in northern
prisons. Many of these died In these
prisons. and many others, suffering
from wounds and disease, died In the
hospitals of the Union forces. Two
years ago the federal government ap-
propriated 100000 to mark the graves
Of these, Confederate soldiers. That
money is now being expended. The
task is practically completed. The Con-
federate dead are thus being honored
in the land from which came their
enemies In the monster conflict.
At many Of the prisons the dead
Confederates were buried separately,
and their graves were marked with
their names. In these cases the graves
have been permanently marked with
headstones of n design different from
those used for the Union troops, but in
no way less imposing. There is the
cemetery at Elmira. n. Y, for in
stance. The resting place Of the Con-
federate dead at that point is no less
beautiful nor we'll cared for than any
Of the national cemeteries.
But in most instances 1t was found
that the dead had been buried In
trenches. as were most of the dead on
both sides in that war. Here 1t is i'm
possible to identify the individual re-
mains. but the names OF all the men
buried In given trenches are to be
found In the records Of the prison. In
such cases imposing monument
has been erected over the spot. and the
names of all the dead resting there
are Inscribed upon it,
Such q monument has been erected
at Camp Douglas. Chicago. and upon
IL are the names of 4.275 Confederates.

icus to continue this distribution Of
monuments free of charge. with
freight paid to any point. IL is hoped
that eventually every grave OF every
| soldier will be marked with a stone
that will survive forever.
$4,000 UNKNOWN" SLABS
The graves of all soldiers and sailors
who are buried in national cemeteries
are so marked when the identity OF
the individual Is known. There are
some eighty such cemeteries. with a to-
tai Of 10000 men buried in them But
OF this great aggregate OF assembled
dead Of the military there are $4,000
buried beneath the slab Of the "un-
known" At Vicksburg. Miss, there
are 1900 graves with the mark "un-
known" There are acres and acres OF
these white headstones that mark the
graves OF soldiers whose identity was
never established. At Fredericksburg.
Va, there is another 1900 graves OF
me whose mothers never knew where
they rested. There are 5000 of them
at Memphis. Tenn. 1900 at Salisbury.
y. c.: 5000 at Richmond, Va; 1900 at
Nashville, Tenn, and similar and
smaller numbers scattered over the
country as a whole. At the greatest
OF the national cemeteries-that at Ar
Iington, opposite Washington there
Is a single great monument that marks
the burying place of 2.111 unknown
soldiers whose remains were gathered
from the ~battlefelds of Virginia.
But the unknown population Of the
| national cemeteries Is to be prevented
from largely increasing.
Today when a man IS inspected for
| active duty a metal tag of Identification
is a part Of his equipment. When men
| go into the field OF active service each
wears upon his neck a piece Of tape,
| and hung upon that tape there Is a met
al tag which contains his name, the
| branch OF the service to which he be-
longs and his particular regiment or
company. This tag is made Of alu-
minimum and the lettering Is stamped
into 1t. 1t is practically indestructible.
| II a man is killed in battle he may al
| ways be identified. II his body is tenn
| porarily buried in the battlefield the
| tag remains, and whenever it is disin-
| TERED he may still be identified.
DISPOSITION OF BODIES
Further than this. there are rigid
army regulations that prescribe just
what shall be lone with the bodies Of
men who are killed in battle or die
during a campaign. Such bodies are to
be buried with their tags of Identified
ton. Aside from this a sealed bottle
is to be buried with the body of each.
In this bottle is to be placed a slip Of
paper telling all that Is known of the
dead man. This bottle Is not subject
to decay, and when the grave is open
ed the mans identity is thoroughly
established.
Further than this. the regulations
%stipulate that an immediate report to
the department must be made OF all
bodies buried. The place of burial IL
to be definitely stipulated. Maps of
the region in which the graves are To-
Gated must be made and the exact
points located. together with state
ments of the manner Of marking the
ORG vas for Identification. All this ma

DETERMINING A cows VALUE
Important Fact Can Only Be Found
Out by Weighing Each Milking and
Keeping Daily Record.

The value of COW can only be
known by weighing each milking and
keeping a daily record of the same.
The weighing of the feed and the
weighing Of the milk is now followed
by expert dairymen.
Sometimes a good COW is not ap-
preciated because the yield comes
from her months of milking rather
than from the big yield soon after
calving. A dairyman at a farmers
meeting a few weeks ago said: 81 have
introduced the system of Weighing
the grain and forage fed to the herd
and weighing the milk of each COW. 1t
takes very little time to do this, and
you can then know after a few months
what cows are the most profitable"
A persistent mixer will in most
every instance prove the most profit
able COW to keep.
The Danish dairymen raise what
COWS they need. The most profitable
COWS can only be had by careful breed
ing, wise selection, practical feeding
and thorough milking. In some dairies
the young cows are MIXED three times
day to develop their milking quail
ties.
