La*t Man In tha Stock».
The punishment of the stocks
has been inflicted within the mem
ory o f many living men. In the
Manchester Guardian of June 14,
1872, there is an account of a man
enduring this form of legal torture
at Newbury. lie was a rag and bone
dealer of intemperate habits and
was fixed in the stocks for drunk
and disorderly conduct at the par
ish church. “ Twenty-six years had
elapsed since the stocks were last
used,” runs the account, “ and their
reappearance created no little sen
sation and amusement, several hun
dreds of persons being attracted to
the spot where they were fixed.”
The “ amusement” does not appear
to have been shared by the prison
er, who was released after four
hours and “ seemed anything but
pleased with the laughter and de
rision of the crowd.” — London
Chronicle.
Juvenile Precocity,
Perhaps the most remarkable
case of juvenile precocity on rec
ord is that of Christian Henry Hci-
necker, the “ learned boy of Lu
beck,” born in 1721, who could read
before he was one year old and
could write before ho was three.
Before completing his first twelve
months he could recite all the prin
cipal events in Biblical history,
and before he was four he “ knew”
the history of all the nations of an
tiquity, geography, anatomy, the
use o f maps, ecclesiastical history
and the doctrines of divinity. He
spoke German, Latin, French and
Dutch. And at the age of four
years and four months he died.

There is evidence that coal was
used in England as early as the year
852. According to Bishop 1’ i^lsey,
Escoinb and Bishopwearmouth were
two of the earliest coal mining set
tlements. Newcastle coal appears
to have come into notice about the
year 1234, when Henry III. granted
the inhabitants a charter authoriz
ing them to mine for it.
The Chinese knew of and used
coal in the thirteenth century. The
earliest reference to coal in Belgium
is assigned to the year 1198, when a
blacksmith at Liege is said to have
been the first in the kingdom to em
ploy it as fuel.
Paris received its first coal from
Newcastle in 1520. In Scotland
coal was worked as early as the
twelfth century.— Harper’s.
T h » Lynn Man Got In.
A shoe salesman from Lynn was
very anxious to sell to a large con
sumer in Cincinnati. The buyer of
the Cincinnati house, who had a
bizarre sense of humor, bought ac
cording to whim. When the sales
man’s card came in he kept it and
sent out the office boy with a nickel
to pay for it and break the news
gently that nothing was doing. The
office boy returned with another
enrd.
“ What’s that fo r ? ” asked the ca
pricious buyer.
“ He said you weren’t getting your
money’s worth,” replied the boy.
“ He sells two of these cards for a
nickel."
The Lynn man got in. — New
