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 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.

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.

If he tries to s watch th.. effect of the grindstone on his nose, all he gets out of it is an eye s strain. c THE JOY Of BEING ALIVE AND WELL Raatored TO Health By "Fruit.&4ivo5" The Famous Fruit Medicine MOE. ROCHON Boehm, P.Q.. Ivlarch 2nd, 1915. :cI have received the most wonderful benefit from taking 'Fruit-a-tives'. I suffered for years from .Rheumatism and change of life, and I took every 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- inglygralefnl to'Fruit-a-lives' for such relief, and I hope that others who suffer from such distressing diseases will try'Fr•uit-a-tives' and get well". MADAME. ISAIE ROCIION.

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. II. Arnott, M. IL, M. C. 1`. ',S.

The wounded Highlander in hospital was very depr seed, and seemed to • make no headway toward recovery. Ile wfor even tacking about his "bonnieas Scotland'", and the idea ec. Burred to the doctor that a Scotch piper 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," In the Bible, Old and. New Testa- ments, there are 3,586,473 letters, 775,693 words, 41,727 verses, 1,189 chapters and 66 books, Sarnia license -holders have offered $1,500 to the Iced Cross Society and the local Patriotic Fund if the local option fight is dropped till after the war.

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.
