ARMY OFFENDERS.
Plmishmente They Underwent In
England in Olden Days..
$RUTALITY WAS THE RULE,
Ono of the Mildest of the infliction,
Was Drumming the Culprit Out at
Camp and Thie Was Attended, With
[trending and Humiliation,
111 times happily gone by discipline
In the British army was maintained'
by ,methods the majority of which can
only be described as vindictive, tyran•
,meal and oven brutal in severity. It
is doubtful If the savages of the dark
ages mild have conceived more re,
veiting penalties than some which
were inflicted by courts martial, ane
even by commanding officers on their
own responsibility, in former times.
The voluntary sufferings of the
saints. the tortures of the religious or.
dens 'or olden days, pale before the
cruelty involved in the various forma
M death penalty. the riding of the
wu„dun horse, picketing. running the
gantlet, branding and 8o;ging. It is
comforting that these punishments
have gradually succumbed to the force
of public opinion .and the. progress <of
civilization.
I)runiming nut of the nrtny-or trum-
peting, as it tuns culled in the cavalry
Mid artillery -was of a different char.
:trier. It was vindictive, unnecessarily
so. but not brutal or even painful. It
was imaiut and at the present day
nirpht almost have been considered
theatrical. The prisoner, handcuffed.
was braught from the guardroom to
the, parade ground under escort. The
crime of which 'he had been found
guilty and the senteece of the court
martial, n•erer'rend.aloud by the ad-
jutant, he was to be 'degraded. brand-
ed as a bad character, discharged from
the service with ignominy and to suf-
fer u term of imprisonment with bard
la bur.
In the process of degradation the but-
tons. braid, badges, facings and even
the medal which he bad earned were
stripped from • his tunic. Then came
the brandleg, There is nothing neces-
sarily deglnding in branding. All re-
cruits hi the Roman army. for instance,
were branded on final approval. but its
lutliet!oa as a punishment is another
mit ter altogether,, and not so easily de-
fended. it was apparently a custom
peculiar to the British army. During
the reigu of George I. deserters were
"stigmatized on the forehead." At a
later period in history they were brand-
ed ou the Jcft side.two• inches, below, the
armpit, and later generally on the arm.
The tattooing was applied with a
brass instrument containing a series of
needle points, the punctures made by
which were rubbed with a composition
of pgit•erized indigo. India ink and wa-
ter. It was administered by the drum
major under the supervision of the
medical oaieer In the presence of the
regitnent on parade, and, In justice to
the authorities, It must be admitted
that ft was accomplished with as little
pain as possible.
Further than that there Is little that
can be urged in its justification. Brand-
ing was a relic of bud times and car-.
reed something revolting to humanity
along with it. Any indelible stigma or
brand of infamy is a fearful punish-
ment. iror one thing, the indiction was
completely irremissible. It could be re-
moved neither by repentance nor by
any subsequent period of good conduct.
To brand a soldier and then discharge
him from the service, as in• this case,
was to turn him adrift in the world
with greatly impaired means of earn-
ing an houest livelihood.
aunger frequently urges its victims
to follow dishonest courses, and what
else could be expected from a branded
and discbarged soldier, precluded from
all honest means of future support? It
was a cowardly and vindictive form of
punishment, since its infliction could
neither promote the amendment of the
offender nor render him wore subordi-
nate.
The last scene In the drama at drum-
ming out of the army was perbaps the
quaintest.. The regiment being formed
In line, with a sufficient interval be-
tween the tront and rear ranks, the
prisoner was escorted down the ranks,
followed by the band playing what
was known as the "Rogue's March."
In this manner he was practically
turned out of barracks, the escort
finally =robing him to tee military
prison to undergo bis seutence of hard
labor. In cases where a man was dis-
charged with ignominy without Impris-
onment, his exit from the barracks
was not infrequently accompanied by
a (ick from the youngest drummer.
Formerly he was conducted by tbe
drummers of the regiment through
the streets of the camp or garrison,
with a baiter round his neck and a
written label ' containing the particu-
lars of his crime. --Chambers' J'ournat.

THE W I;: NG HA.M TIMES
MANIC4JRINO CORRECTLY,
The professional manicure thrives on
the laziness of womankind. The dress.
ing table of every woman of even
moderate refinement nowadays holds an
adequate set of implements for keeping
the hands in dainty and perfect con-
dition; but how many women take the
time. to use all of these implements
faithfully each day?
Soap and water and a hasty applies -
tion of the orange stick beneath . the
nails - so much is absolutely necessary
in the interests of cleanliness; but when
it comes to trimming and filing the
nails, pushing back the cuticle patiently
and consistently, using powdered pumice
and polishing the nails with the buffer
-all these little aids to fascinating
hands are woefully neglected even by
the woman whose day is not crowded
with busineas or household cares, and
when comes along an occasion which
demands presentable hands a manicure
is visited.
Now, a professional manicure cares
snore about the way the nails will look
when she finishes them, than she does
about their ultimate health and beauty.
She is very apt to push back the cuticle
with a sharp -pointed instrument, and
when this is done several times the
skin grows tough and thick, and much
of the natural beauty of the finger tips
is lost.
The cuticle should be pushed back
very gently each day with the rounded
end of the orange stick and a little
lemon juice applied by means of absor-
bent cotton to keep the cuticle from
growing again over the nail.
At least once a day, even if away in
the country, where water has to be
heated spec:ally, see that the fingertips
have a warm, soapy bath, after which
push back the cuticle from the nails..
Polish the nails with prepared polishing
powder, but once a week, but give them
a rub or two with the chamois buffer
each time the nails are washed.
Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh that contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure
be sure you get the genuine. It is

GET THE SELLING HABIT.
Farming is a business as well as a
science. The business of the farmer is
to produce things and sell them for-pro-
fit. This is also the business of all the
manufacturing plants throughout the
world. A farmer is not only a business
man, but also a manufacturer, and
might be considered a merchant, since
his income is dependent on the products
that he sells for profit. If nothing is
sold from the farm, naturally there will
be no income, hence the marketing end
of the game is fully as important, and
in many cases even more so, than the
ptoducing end.
It has been my observation for many
years that the progressive farmer, the
one that forges ahead -has no mort-
gages, but enjoys a good bank account
-is the one who has always something
to sell. He manages to have a load of
cattle, hogs, grain, sheep, some wool
or potatoes, or perhaps some fruit or
dairy products to market every month.
or even better, something every week
in the year. which brings in a constant
income. Of course. this kind of farmer
is familiar with the marketing game,
and knows where and. when to dispose
of his products at the best time when
they will return the largest profit.
With the available cash he is con-
stantly making improvements both on
the farm and in the house, and is
materially increasing the value of his
place. This kind of farmer is not
worrying about farm credits or when
' he can raise a mortgage at a low rate
of interest, because he has cash on
I hand to use when needed. If he hears
of some live stock in the neighborhood
that is to be sold below their actual
• value, he has the cash with which to
buy them the grain and forage to feed,
with the result that he realizes a hand-
some profit when the stock is ready to
market. --Western Farm Life.

remedy obtainable, without any good
results. I heard of 'Fruit -a -fives' and
gave it a trial and it was the only
medicine that really did ane good. Now
I am entirely well ; the Rheumatism
has disappeared and the terrible pains
in my body are all gone. Tam exceed-

relief, and I hope that others who
suffer from such distressing diseases
will try'Fr•uit-a-tives' and get well".

WHAT IS DEGENERACY?
To the Editor: -
We have shown that the City Treas-
urer generally pays out five times as
much.as he receives from the liquor
traffic le caring for the paupers, orphans
and criminals which it causes and that
in many other ways which cannot bti
estimated the money loss is very great.
But that is only the money side, the
small side of this great question. We
might put up with the loss of money.
We might struggle on under the heavy
tax burden but we will certainly go
down as a nation if we continue poison-
ing our young men, the future fathers
of the race.
A new word of dreadful import has
come into our language. Degeneracy is
the word that signifies more than any
amount of money loss. Science has
thrown new light on this liquor pro-
blem. It has shown us that alcoholic
liquors even in so called moderation are
causing degeneracy of the race.
What' does degeneracy mean? It
means that the children of drinking,
not to say drunken parents rarely equal
their parents in nody or mind. It
means that we are breeding still more
idiots, insane, feeble-minded, criminals,
etc , to be housed and fed. The burden
is heavy . enough now and the cry
every year is for more room.
But is it true that the children of
drinking parents degenerate and have
a tendency to become insane? There
is not a doubt of it. Government re-
ports say so, scientific men say so, and
asylum superintendents say so. The
only difference of opinion is as to the
number that are caused by drink. It
is now an acknowledged fact that in-
sanity started by drinking parents may
spread to the third and fourth genera-
tion. The following figures show that
insanity is alniost in direct proportion
to the opportunities for getting drink.
Statisticians have divided the United
States into four groups showing the
number of insane in each group per
hundred thousand population.
Group No. 1 consists of 9 prohibition
states. These have an average of 118
insane to the hundred thousand popula-
tion.
Group No 2 consists of I7 states that
are nearly prohibition. These have 150
insane to the hundred thousand popula-
tion
Group No. 3 consists of 13 states in
which less than 50
are er cent under
p
prohibition. These have an average of
242 insane to the hundred thousand
population.
Group No. 4 consists of 10 states in
which less than 23 per cent. are under
prohibition. These have an average of
276 to the hundred thousand population.
This shows that wet states have
more than double the insane that the
dry states have. When you consider
that many of the prohibition states
have been under prohibition for only a
short time and further that they are
surrounded by wet states, it makes the
hewing still more noteworthy. When
we consider that Kansas has eighty -
even counties 'without any insane how
an we avoid the conclusion that a very
large proportion of the insane have had
heir origin in drink by themselves or
heir ancestors. A drunk man is tem-
orzrlly insane -So much so that he
often commits murder. In view of
facts how futile enc` childish the
v..r:uus remedies that are proposed.

The wounded Highlander in hospital
was very depr seed, and seemed to

might rouse his spirits,
After some h4nting around, a piper
I was foun., and it was arranged that
he should present himself outside the
hospital that night and pour forth all
the gems of Scottish music the pipes
were capable of interpreting. This he
did.
When the astute doctor turned up the
next morning he eagerly asked the
matron:
"Did the piper turn up?"
"He did", replied the matron
"Oh, he's fine; I never saw such a
change," said the matron.
"That's grand. It was a fine idea of
mine to get that piper," said the de-
lighted doctor.
"Yes," replied the matron, sadly;
"but the other thirty patients have all
had a serious relapse,"

MELODY DEAFNESS. .
To Those Who Are Afflicted With it
Music Is Simply Noise.
Every one bas beard of color blind-
ness, but few people are aware that
there is such a malady astune deaf-
ness. It prevents those affected from
appreciating music, which to the melo-
dy deaf is nothing but noise.
The most intelligent people often suf-
fer ht this way. Empress Catherine
of Russia used to declare tbat for her
music was a nerve trying din, and Na-
poleon I. hated any form of melody.
Victor Hugo had to be coaxed by the
composer who put his famous lines to
medic, "Are not my verses," he used
to say, "sufficiently harmonious to
stand without tbe assistance of disa-
greeable noises?"
Doctors say that the power to appre-
ciate music depends upon a perfect
combination of the nerves and brain.
Some people's nerves readily carry mu-
sical sounds to the mind, while in oth-
ers nerves Impede their passage to the
brain cells.
Good musicians are more often born
than made. Nature has provided them
with nerves which instinctively carry
musical chords to the brain. That is
why a good musician can memorize a
tine after hearing it played over once.
Every note has been clearly recorded
in his brain,
Those with less sensitive musical
ner%es receive a dull impression of any
music they may hear, and thus they
are unable to remember it unless it is
drummed into their brain by repeated
playing.-Pearson's Weekly.
TECHNIC OF FAINTING.
Modern Color Methods and Those of
the Old Masters.
Many persons think that the paint-
ings by the old masters owe their per-
manency in some degree to secret proc-
esses now lost. In the Journal of the
Franklin institute Dr. Maximilian Toch
points out that as a matter of fact the
old masters used only those few colors
(madder, for example) the permanency
of which was well established, and
that they avoided mixing colors Itnown
to have a bud chemical effect on one
another.
Incidentally he describes the scien'
tiiic methods of detecting later day
copies. Zinc white, where Hake white
would have been used, protoplasmic re-
mains in the cells of the wood used for
the picture and the transparency of
the bitumen in the shadows are proofs
that a picture is not a genuine anti-
duet. In respect to deterioration the
author mentions the bad effects of
smoke and modern gas fumes and, aft-
er Saying that either light or darkness
may bleach a picture, points out that
some pictures that have been kept in
the dark can be restored by placing
them in bright sunlight.
Finally Dr. Toch condemns those
modern painters who substitute the
collapsible
tube or palette knife for the
brush on the ground that the flakes of
color thus attached to the canvas will
crack of;' and becotne detached. I1
that method had. been used by the an -
dents no trace of their work would
