We also find the re-cOpylng Oh Cne
additions to the City Of Owosso has
progressed further than the contract
called for and the work is most excel
lently performed.
We find that the assistant Mr.. Glen
Morse has performed the bulk of the
work and has given universal satisfac-
ton both as to the class of work and
the time used in performing it.
The records are marvel of neat
ness and correctness and the commit
tee believes the position of County
Abstractor should be given to Glen
Morse at salary Of 100000 for the
year 1918 and have prepared con-
tract with him which is presented
herewith for ratification by the Board
Of Supervisors.
We recommend that the schedule of
fees be as follows:
For each entry .........-............-...$ .25
No abstract for less than. 1.25
For certifying each abstract. .25
All renewals at original price.
Ordinary searches ............-....-..... LOO
Fifteen year searches or less. 80
The receipts of the Office are $223.55
more up to Oct. this year than for
the previous year and the estimated
receipts for the year 1917 will be
$27O0.
Your committee recommends the
contract be made in this way as the
work varies much in different months
and it is hardly possible to secure COM
petent male help for continuous service
at salary which the county can af-
ford to pay to an assistant.

the town that '2ll We boyes Of ye
towne are appointed to slit upon three
paire Of stairs in We meeting house, and
William Lord is appointed to look aft
er We boyes upon We pulpit stairs" In
Stratford the tithing man was ordered
to watch over youths Of disorderly
carriage and see they behave them

blows as is in his discretion meet" In
Durham any misbehaving boy was pun
ished publicly after the service was
over. We would nowadays scarcely
seat twenty or thirty active boys to-
gcther in church If we wished them
to be models of attention and digni1ied
behavior, but after the boys seats
were removed from the pulpit stairs
they were all turned in together in a

Curious Form Of Punishment of thu
Days of Long Ago. r. =

Days of Long Ago. F~~ g.
We do not nowadays exhibit Gagged
offenders TO the gaze of a curious pub
lie, but such a form of punishment was
at one time more or less common.
When the three great Anabaptist lead
ers were executed in Prussia, In 1886,
they were exposed to the public gaze
in iron cages hung on the walls of the
church of st. Lambert, in Munster-am-
Stein.
Catherine II. of Russia had her wig
dresser confined to a cage because the
bigwigs at court complained that the
tonsorial gentleman had big ears, and
Edward l. of England caused the Coun-
tess of Buchan and the sister Of Robert
Bruce to be locked up in two large iron
cages, which were hung on to the tur-
ret Of the castle of Berwick, in 1906.
Alexander the Great had Calisthenes,
the Greek philosopher, kept for seven
months in an iron cage because the lat
ter denied AleXander's divine right to
rule, and for eleven long years the
French Cardinal Balue had a unique
opportunity Of studying at first hand
what it feels like to be a captive canary,
for Louis XI. ordered him to be impris-
Oned in an iron cage at Loches, on the
River Indro, for just that period.
And coming down to more recent
times. there was the huge iron cage
mounted on wheels, which the Beers
had constructed for the late Cecil
Rhodes during tie South African war.
