Farewell tV the Freda
The Coach is at the door at last.
The eager children mounting fast,
,And kissing hands, in chorus sing,
Goodbye, goodbye to everything.
To horse and garden, field and lawn,
The meadow gates we swung upon;
To pump and stable, tree and swing ;
Goodbye, goodbye to everything.
And fat e you well for evermore
O ladder at the hayloft door,
U hayloft, where the cobwebs cling;
Goodbye, goodbye to everything.
Crack goes the whip and off we go;
The trees and houses smaller grow;
Last round the woody turn we swing ;
Goodbye, goodbye to everything.

Warning to Intending Prospect•
ors From Dawson City.
A letter received from Dawson City
says:—"There are chances here for an
active man to make money, but living
is very high. A shave costs 50c and a
Mair cut $1. The weather is just like
Manitoba. only we have November in
October, and April weather in May.
Some of the mines are very rich, but
moat of them are not prospected as
yet. In some spots they go as high as
$800 to the 'pan, and one of the mine
owner s offered to wager $10,000 that
he could pick a pan in 10 minutes t hat
would go $17,000, and no person would
take hits np. But people had better
not come here with t he idea that every
person, one in ten thousand even, will
do the same, or they will be fooled bad-
ly. There are any number of old tun-
ers who have been hers fr o.n three to
ten years, and have never made more
than a living so far. Nearly all the
creeks within fifty miles of Dawson are
staked, but I think a good many will
be open early in the summer for re-
location, as it costs so much to repre-
sent them, that is, to stay on them fur
thtpe months each year, or get some
one else to stay on for you. There are
about 6,000 people in here just now,
and 1800 claims t ecorded, and as each
man can record a claim in each district -
you can see that there are lots of them
waiting for chances."
A Lumberman's Life.
Constantly Exposed to Inclement
Weather.
He Falls An Easy Victim to Rheumatism
and Kindred Troubles --A Twenty Years'
'Sufferer.. Tells How He Found Release.
From the Richibucto. N.B.,Review.
Mr W. Murray, of Cormiersyille, N. B.,
is an old and rtapected farmer, and a pion-
eer settler of the thriving little village he
now makes his home. While ho was yet a
young man, he, together with his father
and brother, founded one of the best mill
properties toga seen in those early flays,
The mills consisted of a sawmill and grist-
uiill,end was operated and managed by the
two brothers. Labor saying appliances be-
ing then compararively unknown,theyoung
men were exposed to great dangerand diffi-
cnities'almost unknown to the pressnt gen-
ation. One of the greatest evils in connec-
tion with the business was exposure to wet
cold,whicb,though unheeded at the time,
bas -crippled its victims with rheumatism.
In a late conversation regarding his disease,
Mr Murray .told the following tale of his
long misery and final euro by the ase of Dr
Williams' Pink Pills: "For over 20 years I
Bayo itfeen a sufferer fr ene.rbeumatism. I
attribute the cause of the disease to the
time when as a young man I worked at our
mills: In the winter we would haul logs on
the pond where the alternate thaws and
frosts of early spring would imbed them in
the ice and slush. When the time came for
starting np the mill I would go oat on the
pond sometimes in water up to my knees
knees and work away from morning to
night chopping logs out of the slush and
ice. I was generally wet from head to foot
and every second night of the week I would
without changing my clothes, stay up and
rim the mill till daybreak. So yon see I
was for two days at a time in a suit of par-
tially wet clothes, and thud would last till
the ice had melted in the pond. After a
few years rheumatism fastened itself upon
me as a reward for this indisoretion, and
ever increasing in its malignity it at last
became do bad -that for weeks in succession
could only go about with the aid of crut-
ches. At other times I was able to hop
about the house by the use of two canes,and
again at other times it would ease off a lit-
tle and I was able to do a little work, but
oonld never stand it for more than a couple
bones at a time. The least bit of walking
would overcome me and I remember ono
stormy night when I tried ,to walk from
Cocange bridge to my home, a distance of
5 miles, that I had to sit down by the road-
side six times to ease the terrible pain that
had seized my legs. Daring all those years
of agony i think I tried all the patent mod -
'fumes I could get a hold of,bntthey did me
ncegood'at all. I consulted doctors, but
my sufferings remained undismiesed. In
the fall of 1895 I went to a doctor in Buis.
touobe to see if there were any means by
which I might at least be eased of lay suf-
ferings. The doctor said franklyy, "Mr Mar.
ray, yon cannot be cured, nothing can cure
you.I was not satisfied and then I de-
termined to.try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
I procured half a dozen boxes and began
taking them at once. I soon felt a change'
for the better and after my supply bed been
finished I got another half dozen boxes and
continued taking them according to direo •
Eons. That dozen boxes was all I took
and you see me now. I am alive and emart
and can do any kind of work. I did my
farming this spring, and could follow the
plow for days without feeling any rhoumat-
io pains. Yes, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
did me a world of good, and I etrongly req -
commend them as a etre for rhetimatisml.

THE DUCKING STOOL 15 STILL AVAIL-
ABLE IN SOME STATES.
In Law Latin There Was No Word For
Malo €ommon Scold --Woman Indicted
In Jersey City In 1889 as a Common
Scold.
Not only is the common scold still with-
in the purview of laws against routs and
riots and favoring tranquility of the viol -
nage, but it Is held that the ducking stool
is yet a moans of punishment should
somo appreciative Pennsylvania judge
have the nerve to decree a renewal of its
use. Fine and Imprisonment are the
modern refuge against the shrewish. No
judge would care to return to the old
ways, for the gossips might wonder over
his woman hatred and the public might
think ho was getting personal.
It is likely that few people know that
the dunking stool was once employed in
Pittsburg. It is held that women had
more grounds for scolding in pioneer days
than now, and hence the stool should
again be brought into requisition.
Tho English settlers brought to the
United Status the duckling stool as an im-
plement of punishment, as they imported
the common law. At Plymouth, whence
the pilgrims sailed, can be seen today the
old dunking stools. Even in 1808 a woman
was ducked there. The Puritans brought
over the common scold law, and it was
adopted in New Jersey and Delaware. In
1880 tho grand jury of Jersey City indicted
Mrs. Mary Brady as a common scold. It
was found to bo there, as bore, still an
indictable offense, and that the ducking
stool was yet available as a means of pun-
ishment, not having been specifically,
abolished by the revised statutes.
Tho stool was used in Virignia, for
Bishop Meade, in his "Old Churches,
Ministers and Families In Virginia"
writes of ducking scolds from a vessel In
the James river. From the Old Dominion
the practice of thus treating scc!ldsreached
Pittsburg. It would bo digressing to re-
peat tho history of tbo establishment of
courts in this city by Virginia, which be-
gan Fob. 21, 1776. On tho second day of
that court, the birthday of George Wash-
ington, then but 43, the sheriff was order-
ed to employ workmen to build a ducking
stool at the confluence of the Ohio with
the Monongahela.
By patient delving ono win dig up much
curious information about the ducking
stool. Allusions to it recur in English
chronicles all through the, sixteenth, sev-
enteenth and eighteenth centuries. Scold-
ing women in these olden times were
deemed offondors against the public peace.
Blackstone in his "Commentaries" treats
of the common scold in his chapter on
"Public Wrongs." After discussing of-
fenses of graver degree his prelude is, "To
descend next to offenses whose punish-
ment Is short of death." Those offenses
are such, ho says, "as annoy the whole
community in general, and not merely
some particular portion, and therefore aro
indictable, not actionable, as it would be
unreasonable to multiply suite by giving
every man a separate right of action for
what damnifies him in common only with
the rest of his fellow subjects."
Then the great jurist treats of sbx•:lasses
of public nuisances and concludes: "Last-
ly, a common scold, communis rixatrix
(for our law Latin confines it to the fem-
inine gender), is a public nuisance to her
neighoorhood. Sho may be indicted, and
if convicted placed in a curtain engine of
correction, called the trebucket, castiga-
-tory or ouoking stool, which in the Saxon
language is said to signify the scold stool,
though now it is frequently &irrupted into'
ducking stool because the residue of the
judgment is that when she is so placed
theroin.sho shall bo plunged in dater for
her punishment."
Blackstone was a better jurist than ety-•
urologist. There was in even as early as
the fifteenth century the punishment of
sitting in the tucking stool for using short
weights, selling bad ale and scolding, but
it Was a chair dY disgrace placed in front
of the offender's own homy. In the lapse
of time the cocking and the duck'irfg stool
became synonymous.
In his "Travois In Englhand" »i 1700
Mission writes: "Tho way of punlebing
soolding women Is pleasant enough.' They
fasten an armchair to the end of two
beams, 12 or 15 fent long and parallel to
each other, so that these two pieces of
wood with their two ends embrace the
chair, which bangs between them upon a
sort of axle, by which means it plays free-
ly and always remains in the natural hor-
izontal position in which the chair should
be, that a person may sit conveniently
in it, whether you raise it or let It down.
They set up a post on the bank of a pond
or river, and over this post they lay, al-
most in equilibrium, the two pianos of
wood, at one end of which the chair hangs
over the water."
The English poets have had their tiniuste
at the ducking stool, when their eyes in
fine frenzy rolling seorn to have caught in-
spiration from the temper of the shrew.
In 1665, in "Homer a la Mode," the pont
sings: •
She belonged to Billingsgate
And oftentimes bad rid to state
And sat in the bottom of a pod)
Enthroned in a ducking stooL
West wrote a complete pootn on the stool
In 1780, tho philosophy of which lies in
the extracted couplet:
No brawling.yyives, np furious wenches,
No fire so BOB but water quenchers.
All through England there wardy the
stools used for ducking scolds. There was
one at Rugby, and in 1820 a Baan was
dunked for beating his wife. Court rec-
ords reveal many instances where the pen-
alty was inflicted on women.
Tho chair used at Scarborough, Eng-
land, is yet preserved. It was last used
in 1795, when Mrs. Gamble was "ducked
three times over the head and ears." In
the museum at Ipswich is another. It has
iron rode converging over the seat, with a
ring through which to run a pole. In 1728
the constable of Morley charged 9 shillings
for a polo. The stools In some cities were
on wheels, and were called scolding carts.
At Kingston-upon-Thames ducking was
not infrequent, and the London net .n
1745 reports the ducking no '•., woman

The Real Thing.
"In all my career as an artist on the
dramatic stage," remarked Mr. Storming -
ton Barnes, "I never knew but one oritio
—that is to say, one real critic."
"What do you mean by your idea of a
real critic?" inquired the young man who
likes to hear Mr. Barnes talk.
"I mean a person of candid discrimina-
tion; one who Is not to be blinded by per-
sonal prejudice on his own side nor daz-
zled by mere assumption on the part of
others. Mere fluency of language does not
suffice. Quiokness and aoouraoy of per-
ception and courageous candor are the
foremost essentials."
"Where did you meet this phenomenon?"
"It was in my early days in the far
west. 'I was playing secondary parts. I
blush to think of how I was compelled to
subordinate my talents to the common-
place and futile efforts of the man who
played the leading roles. But he had -dis-
covered financial booking. So I bowed to
fate. How idle it is to say that art is not
appreciated in the less oultured circles of
society. Ono night we were playing
"Richard III." I played Richmond. .Ah,
me boy, you ought to have seen me play
Richmond in those days! You would have
understood how impossible it is to over-
shadow true greatness, and I do not exag-
gerate when I say that I was great in that
part. It was after this performance I met
the oritio to whom I refer. He was stand-
ing in front of the hotel."
"What did he say?"
"I shall quote him in his own vernacu-
lar. For simple directness of style, I have
never mot his equal. Grasping me by the
hand, he exclaimed:

nessed by Ionians on Tuesday. Ed,
Hoagland, a six-year man, serving a•
sentence from Kent county for lar-
ceny, escaped from his keeper at a
point north of the prison, where he
was piling lumber. His absence was
not immediately discovered, but when
it was the prison bloodhounds were
turned loose, and they tracked him
toward the city. They overtook him
in the yard of James Hathaway, and
be was recaptured and returned to
prison. Whatever may be said to the
practice of running down human be-
ings with bloodhounds, it seems to be
eminently successful in its effect, as
this is the first attempt at escape since
the dogs have been at the institution—
