Tarring and Feathering.
-
T h e first recorded instance o f
tarring and feathering a human be­
ing was in 1189, d arin g the time o f
the crusades. In that year, the first
of the reign of Richard I., a law
was passed that “ any robber voyag­
ing with the crusaders shall be first
shaved, then hot >itch shall bo

feathers shook over him.”

ship reached.
Bef ore the Toothbrush.
Before the Invention o f toothbrushes
people used to clean their teeth with
linen. This la evident from William
Vaughan’s “ Fifteen Directions to Pre­
serve Health." published 1002. In which
the author tells those who want to
keep the teeth "white and on corrupt"
that they must wash the month after
every meal, "sleeps with the mouth
somewhat open * * * and in the morn­
ing taka a Hnnen-cloth and mb tbs
teeth well within and without” In
Vaughan’s time several varieties o f
tooth powder were known, the recipe
for one o f the simplest being as fol­
lows: “ Barns a piece o f Cork# till It
looks like a Goals, then take It out of
the Pyre and It will tall to ashes,
wherewith rob your teeth.” —London
Chronicle.
