ELDERS STRICT As TO DUTY
Observance of the Sabbath Most Rigid
iy Enforced in Scotland in the
Sixteenth Century.

The sixteenth century practice OF the
elders in Scotland of going the rounds
to pick up offenders against Sunday
rules survived until the eighteenth
century. Mr.. Thoman, in his 'Weavers
Craft" gives details of the bag;
The minister himself would make the
rounds to spy with his own eyes The
sins Of the absentees. Here one man
is found romping with his BARNS; an
other detected kissing his wife; two
men were found drinking ale, and one
was found with his coat off, as If he
were going to work: and still another
was seen eating hearty dinner. All
were pulled up before the session OF
the kirk and 'repentances' enforced
upon each" And now one can under
stand the wherefore Of the drawn
blind on the Sabbath, which. struck
James Payn as astonishing in the Ed
inburgh of the sixties.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEM HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff. itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t 80 naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv.

"The Devil to Paw"

The expression, 1.-The devil to pay
and no pitch hot" had its origin in the
ship yard. When calking the seams of
the deck it was important that the
oakum in those seams should be kept
dry. This was done by paying" or
in other words filling the seams with
hot pitch, which was done with a
long-handled mop made especially for
that use. II sudden shower should
come up and wet the oakum before the
seam was 'payed" or filed with pitch,
the fresh water would rot the oakum
and there would be ''the devil to pay"

The criminal docket was cleared
yesterday morning. There were no
penltentiary sentences given, and
no heavy fines imposed. People
who have been breaking the local
option laws have been called on to
pay little more literally for the
privilege, and in most cases the Jail
sentences have been imposed, the
judge declaring that repeated often
ces would draw heavier fines, and
that all second offenders would have
to GO to Jail. This is undoubtedly
the greatest crimp that could be
used, as the jail part Is one that is
dreaded by most of the offenders,
and the working clause that may be
imposed, and likely will be, if nee
essary, is dreaded by all.
