Deceitful bakers and careless fish deulers had to "lose their ears," while he who spoke detracting words bad bis tongue bored by a bodkin. A Frenchman traveling In America in 1700 describes the ducking stool as a "pleasant mode" of punishing a scold ing woman. In 1835 Thomas Hartley of Virginia wrote of bis witnessing the execution of n ducking stool sentence: 'Day before yesterday at 2 of ye Clock, I saw thla punishment given to one Betsey Walker, who by ye vio lence of her tongue made her house and her neighborhood uncomfortable. They had a machine for ye purpose, yt belong to ye Parish. It had already been a sod three times this summer. "Ye Woman was allowed to go under ye water for ye space of minute. Betsey had a stout stomache and would not yield until she had been under five times. Then she cried plteously. Then tbey drew back ya Machine, untied ye Ropes and let her walk home a hope fully penitent woman." , ROTHSCHILD AS. A BEGGAR. The 8aqul to Baron James Posing as an Artist's Model.

' Each country baa its distinctive types of glass, but It requires special and well trained perception to tell the dif ference between dome of the English and Irish specimens of the last century and the careful copies which are now being made of them In European facto ries. The latter, however, can gener ally be known by tbelr greater white ness and lightness of weight. Water ford glass is now tbe most sought after by collectors, but equally beautiful pieces were made in tbe Cork and Dub lin glass houses. Glassmaklng can be traced back for about 2,300 years to the people who lived on tbe eastern shores of the Mediterranean, but its origin has never really been fixed. Its Ingredients are 'still tbe same, and tbelr propor tions seem to have varied very little. Silica and an alknll that is, quartz or flint and potash or soda are still used.

' The regular physicians are studying not only methods to cure disease, but even more emphatically are they en gaged In the great problems of preven tive medicine. ' Having appreciated tbe vast Influence of lower forms of life (bacteria, protozoa. Insects, etc.i upon human life and health, tbey have en deavored to make this knowledge prac tical and have succeeded uiarvelously. as Is shown in the history of the Pan ama canal, the sanitation of Cuba, tbe eradication of yellow ferer from the south, the stamping out of human plague on the Pacific coast and this Is but a beginning. Parallel with this greatly increased work in preventive lines there has been a lessening of dru medication. That Is not to say physl clans have discarded drugs. They have not and some are as wedded to drugs as ever. But among the more Intelligent there Is a gradually lessening depend ence upon drugs and a gradually In creasing dependence upon physical methods diet and hygiene. Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.
