Newspaper Page TextV LA GRANDE EVENING OiWEUVEH MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 1910. PAGE SEVEII JLD TIME PUNISHMEf.T. I iny of a Day In the Stock For a Fit of Bad Temper. . v v record on file In the library of cod ;ss contains an account of the ad iiturea of a certain Ilubburd, wbo .9 fientenced In Boston to tbe stocks r having Indulged Id an uowarrant Je fit of ill temper, says Uarper'a eekly. When be bad taken bis seat r the day there came along a drove t swine, which seemed to cast upou id those leering looks that only a fat ;g can bestow. A dog followed. sniff ig M the prisoner's feet and making oints unpleasantly approaching, real ty of biting hlra. Then a cock, mount ag to the very top of the stocks, rowed his derision upon the victim elow. and presently a rough fellow, after Indulging in ugly taunts, threw at him fetid toadstools and a dead snake. ' Then ao Indian appeared, who in a drunken rage, stimulated by some fau cled Injury, rusbed at Hubbard wlth a tomahawk, probably Intending noth ing worse, however, than to give him a severe fright, which he certainly suc ceeded In doing. i rielp came from an unexpected quar ter, for at. that moment nu old bull came tearing down the rnnd. Hls at tention was uttnieted .by the stiwk and with a ronr he prepared for a charge. ' Alarmed in his turn. i!n suv.ut dashed off. The bull made a dash a the stocks and carried away r'n- mr ner post, but without even irntzliitf'tli object "f hi nppnrent wrath. Wliethet he wan disgusted by the little lie liae accomplished or his aiiiiim.slt.v wax thus satisfied, he started off. bellowing and shnklne his hend. much tn tho m. lief of the said Hubbard. ,, , . And then the unfortunate mnn was left In comparative peace to his own meditations and the cutting sleet of a November da v. , A' COURSE OF DINNERS. It Includes Roasted Peas as a Substi tute For Coffee. In a little book called "Tbe Econom ical Housekeeper." published about the year 1S40, there is given on one page "A Course of Dinners For a . Week,'.' At tbe time of its publication the little book was most popular, as is proved by the author's preface to the second revised edition. She says: " "Encouraged by the very favorable reception that our humble labors have met iu the rapid Bale of the first edl- . tioo of , 1.5O0 copies , in about fifteen weeks., and the demand still continu ing, we have Improved the time by en deavoring to wake the preseut edition more worthy of patronage. If possible, thao the first." . Therefore It la probable that the "course of dinners" which follows was considered admirable at that time: "Monday Tea, coffee or cocoa, with mincemeat, bread and butter in win ter, bread and milk In summer. "Tuesday Boiled dish, with apple dumplings. f-,; "Wednesday Roasted or baked meat with bread pudding. ' . "Thursday Broiled ; steak or fresh fish, with baked rice pudding. , "Friday Baked beans, 'with baked Indian pudding. . "Saturday Salt codfish boiled, with apple pie. ','Sunday Morning, bashed fish and coffee: noon, bread and butter, cheese, pie. doughnuts." It Is a suggestive paragraph which appears on the same page: "Peas, roasted and ground, are an excellent substitute for coffee, and you would hardly know which is best" Youth's Companion. Value of the Kangaroo's Tail. So important Is the kangaroo's tail in his rapid progress that experienced hunters with guns are accustomed to fire at the point where this appendage joins the body, when, the tall being disabled for Its office of balancing, the animal Is as effectually stopped as If hamstrung. Bit elsewhere, except with a rifle bullet or at point blank range, the kangaroo Is pretty likely to get off. . One peculiarity of the kanga roo la that, after being started up. be very rarely swerves from his course, through which peculiarity he is easily "potted" by hunters, who conceal themselves while a man on horseback drives the herd toward them. Insect Wonders. Nothing can exceed the perfection of the minutest parts of the Insect or ganization in general. The finest strand in a spider's web. which can scarcely be seen, is said to be com posed of no less than 4,000 threads. On a single wing of a butterfly have been found 100,000 scales and on that of a silkworm moth 400,000. each of these minute scales being a marvel of beauty and completeness in Itself. So this are the wings of many insects that 60,000 placed over each other would only be a quarter of an inch thick, and yet thin as they are. each is double. . . Puzzled Tommy.' "Pa." said Tommy. ' "my Sunday school teacher says If I'm good I'll go to heaven." "Welt, what about ItV said his pa.. "Well, you said If 1 was good I'd go to the circus. Now. 1 want to know who's fibbing, you or her." Lippln- Old Mosque Legends. : Tbe great Begova insjue in Sera-! jevo is the largest mosque in Europe after those of Constantinople aud Se- I lini a iuoso,ue In Adrlanople. In It courtyard stauds uu old Btone. acros the top of which there is a groove pre clsely the length of a Turkish ell. Tra- dltlon says that a pasha placed it there to checkmate the. local merchants' habitual use of false measures In defi ance of the express commandment of the Koran. But another of Serajevo's hundred mosques has a . much better legend. Before this may be seen the tombs of the seven holy dervishes who were be headed 200 years ago for a great theft After the decapitation " each body tucked Its bead under Its arm and walked iuto the mosque. So those der vishes are worshiped as saints to this day., A Largo Velum. Tbe biggest book In Washington Is not in tbe Congressional library. It Is in the reference room of the geo logical survey on F street, where Us huge bulk reposes on a stand made especially for It. It is a dictionary and consists of half a dozen volumes bound under one generous cover that must have taken several calfskins to provide the leather binding. It con tains 7.085 pages and weighs as much as a high school girl. By contrast tbe fat Webster's Unabridged that lies alongside this great Jumbo of a book looks like a pocket .edition of the "Rubaiyat." ."
