In the latter half of the aeventeentb and tbe early part of tbe eighteenth centuries the regulation of the price of bread by public authority was n famil­ iar principle In the English colonies of America. In New Haven, for Instance, the weight of the penny loaf was regu­ lated by law about 1660. and lu 1696 tbe Massachusetts general court also provider] a regular assize, fixing the weight of the loaf according to tbe price of flour. At various times dur­ ing the first quarter of the eighteenth century the selectmen of Boston like­ wise performed this duty. It is interesting, however, to note a survival or perhaps a revival of this principle as late as the nineteenth cen­ tury In tlie town of Mobile, a place whose economic history Is marker! by many peculiar features. After flfty- two years of French, seventeen years of English and thirty three years of Spanish rule Mobile came under tbe control of tbe United States govern­ ment In April, 1813, and was Included In tbe Mississippi territory. On Jan. 20. 1814, by an act of tbe territorial legislature the town received a charter of Incorporation, and at two meetings of the Inhabitants, on March 11 and 14. the municipal government was or­ ganized and the charter publicly read In English and In French. Tbe popula­ tion at tblB time was composed of French, English and Irish elements. On April 4 following, three weeks after tbe organization of the municipal gov­ ernment. a "tariff for bakers." or as­ size of bread, was drawn up by tbe commissioners (the governing body of the town) and proclaimed In English nnd In French. This fixed the weight of tlie loaf for the ensuing month In accordance with the price of flour. In­ stead of changing tbe price of bread It was more convenient to make the loaves lighter or heavier as the price of flour rose or fell. Ou May 2, 1814, the weight of tlie bit loaf (tbe bit being n coin worth 12^4 cents) was fixed al twenty-eight ounces, and the weight of tbe half bit loaf was fixed at fourteen ounces. On July 8, 1815, Mr. Martin, the bak­ er, appeared before tbe board and paid the sum of {10, a fine Inflicted on him for having bls bread too light, one-half of which sum was paid to tbe police officer. On Jan. 24. 1817, a regular scale of weights for the bit loaf was adopted. Beginning May 3. 1817, the assize of bread was proclaimed weekly Instead of monthly, as before, and this system was continued for a little more than two years. The records do not show that the assize was proclaimed after 1819, but the town continued to exer- else a control over the business of bak­ ing. Every baker was required to procure a license nnd to register bls trademark, which was stamped on his loaves. A public bakehouse was also established and seems to have been managed In the same way that munici­ palities control public markets, tbe bakers renting the stalls from the town nnd being subject to Inspection.

In some parts of Germany In days gone i by w hen the relations of husband and ' wife became strained, so to speak —In < other words, when each returning day gave birth to new squabbles and the man's hand wns as ready as tbe woman's tongue- the couple were brought before tbe magistrate, who. after listening to recriminations, or­ dered them to prepare for the ordeal by tiattle. The man was placed In a cask, which was then nearly flUed with sand, so that he was covered up to the waist. In some towns a pit was kept handy for the purpose. Just as the ducking stool was kept on Bankside, opposite St Paul's. When he was thus half burled, the man received a short stick for his right band, while his left hand was tied up across his cheat He was thus one armed and could only deliver his blows If his op ponent came near enough. The lady put on a linen garment, the right sleeve of which was lengthened In the end was tied up a stone The Sleeve projected about twelve Inches beyond her hand. She had thus a for mldable weapon, but In order to use It she had to get close to her enemy. Now, observe the situation and the chances. If she succeeded In bringing the stone down upon her husband's head, she might knock him senseless; she might even brain him. but In order to do so she would expose herself to the full blow of his stick. Tbe battle might. In fact, be settled by a single assault. But mark the craftiness of man. It was better to make a woman ridiculous than to knock her silly. The husband, therefore. If he was a philos­ opher. did not try to hit hla wife. He warded her blows with his stick. He tried to catch the sleeve upon his stick. Then the stone flew round and round, and the lady was caught. She could not move, and the victorious husband dragged her. unwilling, head first into bls cask.—London Queen.

Astonishing Sensitiveness of These Wonderful Glasses. With the exception of astronomers, few persons have any Idea of the won­ derful sensitiveness of tbe lens of a telescope. These marvelous artificial eyes can be produced only by the ex­ ercise of tbe most scrupulous care In the selection of the glass Itself, con­ summate skill and inexhaustible pa tlence. The process of grindlug and polishing often occupies several months. When the lens of a big telescope Is completed. It constitutes one of the greatest marvels wrought by man. An article In the Literary Digest de­ scribes how the sensitiveness of a lens was Illustrated by Alvan Clark. the greatest lensmaker America has pro- duced: Mr. Clark walked down to tbe lens and held bls hand under It about two feet away. Instantaneously a marvel ous spectacle burst Into view. It seem­ ed as If the great glass disk bad be­ come a living volcano, spurting forth Jets of flame. The display was dazzling. Waving, leaping, dancing, tbe countless tongues of light gleamed and vibrated: then fit fully, reluctantly, they died away, leav Ing the lens reflecting only a pure, un troubled light. What Is It? How do you account for the wonder? were the eager ques tlons. It Is only the radiation of heat alternately expanding and contracting the glass. If the hand had been put upon the lens Itself, the phenomenon would have been more violent. To a person Ignorant of lenses the almost supernatural sensitiveness of a mass of glass weighing several bun dred pounds Is astonishing, but to the scientist It Is an everyday matter, for be has Instruments that will register with unfaltering nicety the approach of a person flfty or a hundred feet away.
