The Ducking Stool In England
The lastest recorded use of the duck
ing stool In England the designations
cucking and ducking were of course
synonymous in the days of Queen Eliza
beth was in 1S09 It was at Leomin
ster when a woman named Jenny
Pipes alias Jane Corran was paraded
through the town on the ducking stool
and ducked in the water near Kenwa
ter bridge by order of the magistrates
In 1S17 another woman called Sarah
Leake was wheeled round the place In
the same chair but not ducked as
fortunately for her the water was too
low The instrument of punishment in
question has not been used since then

India Rubber Tree Fruit
The fruit of the india rubber tree Is
somewhat similar to that of the Rici
nus communis the castor oil plant
though somewhat larger The seeds
have a not disagreeable taste and yield
a purplish oil It is a fairly good sub
stitute for linseed oil though it dries
less rapidly Mixed with copal blue
and turpentine It makes a good var
nish The oil may be also used in the
manufacture of soaps and lithographic
inks The seeds are somewhat like
tiny chestnuts although darker in col
or The Indian girls are fond of wear
ing bracelets and necklets made of
them

started by loafers who had no busi

TOJNS OF GOLD TREASURE

evidence The booties of Cortes
and PIzarro are famous In annals or
new world history In them we have
read how the soldiers of the former
carried away only a small part of the
treasures looted at Mexico yet were so
loaded down with stolen gold that
when they fell from the causeway Into
the lake In the memorable retreat from
Mexico they sank and drowned as
weighted with plummets of lend also
we read how Fizarro exacted as a trib
ute for the liberation of the Iuca Ata
hulpa gold that filled to the depth of
several feet a room seventeen feet wide
by twenty two feet long and that was
valued at 1300000 pesos dor the
equivalent of nearly 15500 of our
money
When Drake sailed the south sea In
the Golden Hind upon his piratical
voyage of circumnavigation In the
years 1577 79 and when he captured the
Nuestra Seuora della Conecpelon stir
named the Cacafue or Spitfire of Capo
San Francisco It took three days to
transfer the treasure from the cap
tured ship to his own In that single
haul there was realized a purchase
as it was called of over twenty six
tons of silver besides eighty pounds of
virgin gold thirteen chests of pieces of
eight containing over 1000000 in
money and an enormous amount of
jewels and plate
Upon the evidence of John Drake wo
read that when the Golden Ilind laid
her course for England by way of tho
Cape of Good Hope she was so heavily
ballasted with pure silver that sho
rode exceeding deep in the water

THE MOONSTROKE
A Sailors Experience After a Night
Nap on Declc In tlie Tropics
People laugh at moonstrokes said
a sailor They call them shellbacks
superstition I once had a moonstroke
though and I tell you it was no laugh
ing matter
In a full moon one night in the trop
ics I fell asleep on deck The moon
shone directly on me I lay in a white
pool of moonlight So three hours
went by
Then when they woke me I felt
like a man in a dream My mouth
hung open as it does when I sleep
and I couldnt close it and my head
lay over on the side and I couldnt
straighten it up
Nor could I understand what peoplo
said to me nor could I obey orders
Voices Id hear far away but they
seemed meaningless unpleasant I
was very drowsy All I wanted was
sleep
They worked on me for two days
rubbing me down with cold water and
dosing me with castor oil before they
brought me round And always after
that I have beeu careful never to sleep
where the moons rays could get at me
My moonstroke happened eight years
ago but still at every full moon I am
stupid and drowsy my head droops a
little to one side and my mouth tends
to hang open
Theres many a sailor has been
moonstruck but this accident never
befalls landsmen Landsmen you see
never sleep out of doors New York

A PERSUASIVE SMILE
That of Evangelist Alexander Rare
ly Comes Off
Charles M Alexander the famous
mission singer who is about to begin a
campaign in Philadelphia with the Rev
Dr Torrey has a smile that has much
to do with the effectiveness of his mis
sion music The Alexander smile is one
that rarely comes off and the expres
sion of the singers face goes a long
way toward carrying home the words
of the mission hymns His face has a
frank open expression and when lit up
by his smile wins the sympathies of
the most stony and indifferent to the
cause which he represents Mr Alex
ander is in the early thirties has a
good figure a smooth face and is quite
bald He looks a good deal like an ac
tor Indeed he has the same sort of
magnetism that enables an actor to
win the sympathy and hold the atten
tion of his audience When he sang in
Albert hall London his voice could be
heard away above the united voices of

the 3000 members of the mission choir
and it reached to the farthest recesses
of the great auditorium His enthusi
asm and vitality are catching and so
are his mission songs In speaking of
the popularity some have attained Mr
A lexander has said
At the close of our great revival
campaign in Melbourne Australia it
seemed to me that everybody In the
city was singing the Glory Song
When by his grace I shall look on his
face
That -will be glory for me
I got on the train and started on my
Journey As we went through Terang
a man and his wife whom I had met
at the Melbourne campaign came
down to the station to meet us The
lady said Mr Alexander I am sure
you will be interested to know any
thing about the Glory Song I have
been over today to talk to a friend on
her deathbed and she asked me to
sing a verse I sang one verse and
she said Oh that Is so glorious
Please sing another I sang another
and during the chorus while I was
singing When by his grace I shall look
on his face she passed to see the king
In his beauty 1

Camille Flammariou In his book
Thunder and Lightning describes
fire ball burst Into the room from tho
chimney knocking over the paper
guard In front of the fireplace In ap
pearance It suggested a young cat gath
ered up In a ball as it were and mov
ing along without using Its paws It
approached the tailors legs as If to
plaj with them The tailor moved them
away to avoid the contact of which ho
naturally was In terror
After some seconds the globe of flro
rose vertically to the height of tho
mans face as he sat and he to save
himself leaned quickly back and fell
over The fire ball continued to rlso
and made Its way toward a hole which
had been made at the top of the chim
ney for the Insertion of a stovepipe In
the winter but which as the tailor put
It afterward the fire ball couldnt see
because It was closed up with paper
The ball stripped off the paper neat
ly entered the chimney quite quietly
and having risen to the summit pro
duced a tremendous explosion which
sent the chimney pot flying and scat
tered it In bits all over the neighboring
courtyard and surrounding roofs
LIFES LITTLE THINGS
They Go a Very Loiib Way Toward
jUnklnK the World Happy
A wild birds song Is a little thing
lost In the deeps of a frowning sky
And yet as it falls on a listening ear
and leaves its message of melody
earths green seems brighter and life
is sweeter all through an autumn day
The coo of a babe Is a little thing
meaningless sound from a vacant
mind
But tis the only sound that all na
tions heed the one clear language that
all races know
A mothers love Is a little thing too
soon alas forgot
But it typifies to blind humankind
the love and trust and hope divine that
bear with patience calm and sweet the
willful wrongs in these lives of ours
A passing smile is a little thing lost
In a world of toil and care
And yet the soul with gloom oppress
ed and the life grown wearied with
burdens hard will happier be in the
afterglow of a smile that is warmly
kind
A kindly word is a little thing a
breath that goes and a sound that dies
But the heart that gives and the
heart that hears may know that it
sings and sings and sings till at last
It blends with the wild birds song and
the coo of babes In what men call the
celestial choir Milwaukee Journal
Lessons For Schoolboys
There is no question that our fore
fathers supposed that benefit might be
derived from causing schoolboys to be
spectators of the hangings of criminals
Sir Walter Scott has borne testimony
to this custom being not unknown in
Scotland In The Heart of Midlo
thian Mr Saddletree is represented
as saying
I promised to ask a half play day to the
schule so that the bairns might gang and
see the hanging which canna but have a
pleasing effect on their young minds see
ing there is no knowing what they may
come to themselves Chapter 2G
Sir Walter would not we may as
sume have written the above had he
not known that such things had actual
ly taken place London Notes and
Queries
The Sea Otter
The sea otter is nearly twice the size
of the common river otter and the fur
without finishing or preparation of any
kind is more beautiful as It Is stripped
from the animal than the richest seal
skin which has to be scraped plucked
of the long upper hairs and then dyed
before It could be recognized as the
beautiful object which the finished fur
undoubtedly is In the sea otters fur
the soft undercoat the true fur Is as
thick as that of the seal and nearly
twice as long while the long outer
hairs are as soft as a sables tail and
often a pale gray which gives to the
whole coat an appearance as of dark
fur slightly frosted over
Bird Confidence
Mr Bells aviary presented a pretty
evidence of mutual confidence among
birds A pair of Java sparrows lived
in a compartment with a bleeding
heart pigeon The latter fell in love
with them and at night always cuddled
a sparrow under each wing When
seen the light of a lantern the
pigeon seemed to be cuddling two ba
bies one under each wing from which
the cheerful countenances of the little
sparrows looked with blinking eyes

His Definition
A teacher In a certain school asked
for the definition of a furrier A hand
was raised Well John you tell us
what a furrier is A man who deals
in furs correctly replied the pupil
Then turning to another scholar the
teacher asked for the definition of a
currier A man who deals in curs
was the unexpected reply of the eager
boy
