Late varieties that do we'll are the

In the Stock.

In England the punishment Of the
stocks has been inflicted within the
memory Of men now living. In the
Manchester Guardian OF June II. 1872.
there Is an account OF a man enduring
this form OF punishment at Newbury.
He was a rag and bone dealer OF In
temperate habits and was fixed IN the
stocks for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. '-Twenty-six years had elaps-
ed since the stocks were last used"
states this account, 'and their reap
pearance created no little sensation
and amusement, several hundreds OF
persons being attracted to the spot
where they were fixed." The ''amuse-
ment" does not appear TO have been
shared by the prisoner, who was re-
leased after four hours and seemed
anything but pleased with the laughter

A JOKE on the Lynx

Frequently during the winter nature
plays q joke on the lynx. Mr.. Lynx
does his hunting at night and lies out
stretched on some horizontal limb dur
ing the day. Some day, while the
lynx Is dreaming, the sun comes out
bright and warm and softens the sur
face Of the snow to such extent that
when the animal climbs down and
starts In search OF his supper the soft
snow collects In great clumsy balls on
the long foot hairs. The lynx sits
down and with his sharp teeth gnaws
away the accumulated snow, gets up
and starts on, only TO find that the
balls have collected again Again he
sits down. a little less patiently this
time, and gnaws the snow away. In
a short time II has accumulated once
more. The Infatuated animal tears at
the persistent snow with his sharp
teeth and wounds his feet until they
bleed. You can often track the AMI
NAL by the bloodstains on the snow
