In the armies o f the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries the cue-
tom o f caating lots to decide what
soldiers should be punished fo r the
offenses o f all was common. At
W inchester, England, in 1645, com ­
plaint was made that after the sur­
render there had been unfair plun­
dering. Six soldiers were triea and
found guilty, and it was decided by
lot which one o f the six should be
hanged. At Tangier in 1663 and
again in 1665 two soldiers had to
cast dice on a drumhead, and he
who threw the least was executed.
Thom as May's translation o f Bar­
clay's “ Icon Animorum” gives a
curious story o f this sort. Speaking
o f English courage, he says that
during the war in the Netherlands
some soldiers o f the Spanish party
were taken prisoners by the Dutch,
who decided to make reprisals for
the previous cruelty o f their ene­
mies. Out o f fou r and twenty men
eight were to be hanged. “ There
were lots, therefore, thrown into a
helmet,“ says May, “ and the pris­
oners were commanded to draw
their fortunes.
W hoever should
draw a blank was to escape, but
their present danger, especially one
Spaniard. Their pitiful wishes and
tears in some o f (he stahders-by did
move pity, in others laughter.
There was besides in that danger
an Englishman, a common soldier,
who, with a careless countenance,
expressing no fear o f death at all,
came boldly to the helm et and drew
his lot. Chance favored him ; it was
a safe lot. Being free him self from
danger, he came to the Spaniard,
who was yet tim orous and trem­
bling to put his hand into the fatal
helm et, and, receiving from him 10
crowns, he entreated the judges—
oh, horrible audacity! — that, dis­
missing the Spaniard, they would
suffer him again to try his fortune.“
May further relates that “ the
judges consented to the madman's
request, who valued his life at so
low a rate, and he again drew a safe
lo t “ May seems rather to regret
the second escape o f the foolhardy
Englishman, whom he denounces as
“ a wretch unworthy not only o f

Rossetti's Awful BrookfovL
It w m at one time arranged that
Dante Gabriel Boaaotti, his brother
W illiam and Swinburne and George
M eredith should live together in a
certain house. M eredith happened
to see Dante Gabriel Boeaetti at
breakfast and changed his plans.
M eredith him self tells the story.
“ It waa past noon,“ says he. “ Ros­
setti baa not yet risen, though it
was an exquisite day. On the break­
fast table on a huge dish rested five
thick slabs o f bacon, upon whioh
five rigid egga had slowly bled to
death. Presently Bosaetti appeared
in his dressing gow n, with slippers
down at heel, and devoured the
dainty repast like an ogre." That
meal w m too much fo r Meredith,
and he sacrificed three m onths' rent
rather than see it repeated.

but in one c m « at least it w m laid
quite simply.
Two Chicago men were talking o f
the fortune o f a third when one
said:
“ He made hia first lucky strike
in egga. He bought 10,000 dozen
at a low figure, put them in cold
storaga and adld tnem at a profit o f
more than 300 per cent. That w m
