Ridicule and the Pillory
Few of These Instruments of Punishment Remain in the Western World
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
The question of capital punishment,
now under discussion, bring up the
subject of penology, and of the various
ways In which human society has un
dertaken to prevent crime and miscon
duct by keeping awake the fear of cas
tration. Generally this subject has a
more or less tragic aspect, but some
times It veers toward the comic.
Punishment by ducking stools and the
pillory has always excited a certain
amount of laughter and derision, nnd
since there Is no more effective deter
rent than ridicule, perhaps those things
may be regarded as among the most suc
cessful applications of the principle on
which penal legislation rests. Still, by
common consent, in almost all civilised
communities they have been abandoned,
except for occasional local and tempo
rary revivals, like that of the pillory
in Delaware.
Everybody has read of pillories, but
few have seen them, and the photo
graph of one In England which Is shown
herewith, will, doubtless, be a curiosity
for most readers. There Is no European
country In which this form of punish
ment has In the past been more employed
than In Great Britain, and the pillory has
furnished a flgure-of-speech as widely
nattered through English literature as
that supplied by the gallows.
Naturally the pillory was translated to
America, by the English settlers, and
our New England forefathers were fa
miliar with It. In England Its use was
abolished In 1816 for all offenses except
perjury, and In 1837 it was completely
abolished.
The Idea underlying punishment by pil
lory Is Interesting. It Is exactly opposite
to that on which solitary Imprisonment
It based. It undertakes to enlist the force
of public contempt, against the offender,
as morally, the moat Important part of
his punishment. But where the sympathy
of the public happened to be with the
prisoner the punishment often miscar
ried, and he got more glory than pain
from It.
On the other hand, when the populace
was either Indifferent or antagonistic, the
sufferings of the pilloried person were
often extreme. Sometimes sitting on tho
ground, sometimes on a rude bench,
sometimes compelled to stand, with his
hands or -both - hands and feet) thrust
through holes In thick boards, and locked
there, h was exposed to all kinds of
weather, sun, rain, wind and dust beating
Into hi face and eyes, and pestilent in
sects tormenting him without tho possi
bility of defense.. In such a case he wis
fortunate If there was no popular pre
judice against him, for if there was then,
to all the sufferings and torments above
enumerated, would be added peltlngs of
stones, mud. and filth, making his , pun-ishment-
almost worse than death. ; ' .

The form of pillories varied greatly.
In some cases, as has been said, the
offender could sit, and when his feet, as
well as his hands, were placed in the
holes of the framework, it was neces
sary that he should do so, either on, the
ground 'or on a bench. Often the frame
work was pierced with a series of holes,
so that several offenders could bo con
fined. Al onqa ;, f

a more humane plan. In which shelter

FOR A BAD COUGH
Here is a fine old-fashioned
recipe for coughs, colds or catarrh
trouble that has been used for
many years with great success.
Get from your druggist 1 os.
of Parmlt (Double (Strength) and
add to it Pint of hot water and
4 ox. of granulated sugar. Take
one tablespoonful 4 tunes a day.
No mora racking your whole
body with a eouKh. Clogged nos

your head clear up so you can

goes for foolishness, Just silly little in
dulgences and fallalls that they really
don't care for, nor want, and that they
waste money on, because they have never
really sensed the fact that twenty nickels
make a dollar, and that $10 make a X
spot. For, curiously enough, a woman
will hesitate about spending a good round
dollar on an article, and then blithely
blow in twenty nickels on nothing.
When a man contemplates matrimony
he figures out the cost of a wife in terms
of French millinery and fine frocks. That
is where he misses his gues. It Isn't the
money that a woman spends on good
clothes that plays hob with the family
finances. It's the money she wastes on
fool If hness.
Take the beauty shop, for Instance. A
woman drops in to have her hair .sham
pooed. There is SO cents gone to start
with. The girl who Is brushing her hair
heaves a sigh of startled apprehension,
and says, "Your scalp is getting verv
tight, and If you do not wi.th to get bald
and gray, you should begin scalp treat
ments at once." Wing! Another 50 cent,
or 75. if a little electric roller is passed
a few times over the easy Mark's head.
Then comes a wave seventy-five more,
and a face raassaKc, another seventy-five,
a manicure at Hfty, and a treatment
fiom the rhlropodlHt at a $1.50. Fifty
cents Is as little as one can distribute in
tips, and before she knows It the woman
has spent $.26. totally unnecessarily, for

Poso of famous model, Audrey Munson, showing how women should protect eyes while reading.
Uy AUDKEY MI XSOX.
No womnn can maintain ier claim to
beauty If her eyes show little red,
thrcadllkn Hues of strain,, nor if there
are lines of wear.na about them,- nor
shadows of lllnasa or exhaustion be
neath them. '
Eyes should be cloar and bright, capa
ble of expressing vivacity or serenity,
according to tho soul weather which
they rettoct. I'ersonally, I prof or the
steady, serene gate that suggests the
paintings we- have seen of the Madonna.
But tho brightly roving eye has Its at
tractions, too more for some than for
others. Eyes, like types of beauty, ap
peal to the taste of the beholder.
I am most careful to adjust a book,
magaslna or newspaper at tho easlost
angle for reading. I do hot drop my
book hi my lap and lean over it until
n
my eyes accommodate themselves to the
dlntnnco of the book. Not at all. Kyes
were made before books and are more
valuable. Therefore, when I settle to
read I hold the book at various dis
tances until it is Just so far from my
eyes or near to them that I can read
without the slightest sense of strain.
When I have read for a little , time,
even though my eyes are not tired, I
glance out of the window at the far
thest roof, or up at the sky and fix my
sight uoon the highest cloud. I stare
Wit these objects for two or threa or five
minutes. Then my ryes go baok to the
printed page rested, .v-hen I am sewing
or posing or writing letters, or embroid
ering, I give my ryes these rests a dosen
times a day. Sometimes pflener.
The moment my eyes are weary I atop
whatever I am doing and rest them,
either in the way I have described or by
closing them for a few minutes. I learned
the last habit of eye repose from a lite
rary friend of mine who writes many
hours every day. She calls these rests
"nsps." . .
