Represents the Whole Man, Ten Flo• oars and Ten Tose. ',Twenty is called a score because it represent, the whole man, ten Angers and ten toes. Etymologically it means a cut or ntork. in very early times, when Men could not couut beyond twenty, or "one man," It was usual to cut .a botch In a stick and begin again. and et) it went on, one man. two Men. and ao• en. Tblu is w.by sheep are still counted by the ecore. Now, a telly (french tattle, cut or ntckedi means an account kept by means of a notched stick. and until theend of the eighteenth century ouch sticks were given as exchequer ree Ipts, accom- panied by a written document. ''his was also the usual way of keeptng:ac- counts in the inns of the middle ages. The pumber of drinks or meals a cus- tomer had were *cored against him on what was called a tally stick, and when it reached twenty, or a "whole man," he was expected to pay.

VM*us [woks, That. Have Beat Wee in Fettering. Prisoners. ° In Vaught btr to be found the fist re. corded instance of .the use of hand cuffs, for the poet tells us that Proteus was thus fettered and rendered pow. erless by Atha:tens, who apparently knew that even the gods then$elves were not proof against this form of persuasion. In the fourth century 13. C. an army of victorious Greeks found several chariots full ot handcuffg among the baggage of the defeated Carthaginians, and it is highly probable that the an- cient Egyptians had some contrivance of the kind. The word is derived from the Anglo-Saxon "handcop," whence comes evidently the slang term "copper." in earliest Saxon days "handcops" were used for nobles and "foot cops" for kings, but in; the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries) the word is 01,1P - planted by the terns "shack bolt" and "swivel manacle," and the Instruments were as cumbersome as the names by which they were known. " Up to the middle of the last century there were two kinds of handcuff In general use. One, known as the "tiexi ble," was , very like that which is still used; the other kind, called the "figure eight," was used to restrain violent prisoners. It was .so fashioned that the captive could not wove his hands and was universally dreaded. for the pain caused by a limb immov. ably confined is. almost unbearable. A simple but powerful device for se- curing prisoners was' the "twister," now abolished owing -to the injuries it inflicted. It consistedof a chain with handles at each end. The chain was put around the wrists, and the handles . were brought together and twisted until a Arm grip was obtained. The least struggle on the part of the captive and the chains bit deep into his wrists. Of the sante nature; bot made of wire, Is "la 1lgote," while in an emergency• whipcord has proved perfectly satisfactory. The handcuff used in some parts of eastern Europe is most prhnitive. it, consists of a V shaped piece of metal in which the wrists are .Inserted, the open ends being then drawn together by means of a cross hook, which must be kept taut the whole time. The most handy form of cuff, which is in general use at present. comes ' from America. It Is lighter and much less clumsy .thein the old "flexible," it is no 'easy malt..1 to clap the "bracelets" on a person: who is strug- gling violently. inventors should turn their attention to the subject. for much remains to be done before the fighting prisoner .can be quickly and strongly secured without harm to himself or his captor. -London Globe.
