A Frenehlnan iraveling ]i .\meri
ca in 1400 de,eribes the (luking
stool as a "pleasant mode" of pungcs -
ishinig a scolding woman. Het says:
"0f members ye tonge is worst
or bestc. And yll tonge oft doth
breede unreste worthe a ducking
stoole."
In .1635 Thomas Hartley of Vir
ginia wrote of his witnessing the
execution of a ducking stool sen
tence:
"Day before yesterday, at two of
ye Clock, I saw this punishment
given to one Betsy Walker, who by
y'e violence of her tonge made her
house and her neigll)orhood uncom
'ortable. Th'ev haid a maehine for
ye purpose yt belongs to ye Pari-h.
it has already been used three .times
this Su mmer. Ye WVom an wais al
lowed to go under ye water for ye
space of %/2 minite. Betsy had a
stout sionache and would not. yield
until she had been under five times.
Then she cried piteously. Then
they drew hack ye Machine. untied
ye ]ltopes and let her walk hoime, a
hopefully penitent woman."
It seems strange to read that al
most within the memory of persons
still living Mrs. Annie Royal was
e sentenced in Washington to be
ducked for writn lug vituperative
books. She terrorized the town by
editing a "Paul Pry" paper. Even
John Quincy Adams p'onouinceid her
a virago, and she was arraigned as
a common scold. Mrs. Royal was
sentenced to he ducked in the Poto
mae, but afterward released on pay
ing a fine.
John Bunyan's Game.
Tip cat has never been a very
fashionable sport, but it has been
popular elough at least since the
sixteenth century. It was at this
game that the boy John Runyan
was playing when a sense of sin
overwhelmed him. "As I was in
the midst of a game of cat and, hav
ing struck it one blow from the
hole, just as I was about to strike
it a second time at voice (did sudden
ly dart from heaven into my soni,
which said, 'Wilt thou leave thy slns
and go to heaen or have th y sins
an(1 go to hell ?' At this I was put
in an excee(ing maz71e, wherefore.
leaving my eat upJoni the ground, I
looked up to heaven anid was as if
.I had with thme eyes of my under

lie did severely thireaten me with
soncmeie'vouis 11 puishmient for t hese

- Truancy Vindicated.
An old gentleman upon seeing a
small boy playing in the streets and
remembering that the school term
had begun a short time )revious
thought it his duty to take the
youngster to task for being absent
from school. Approaching the boy,
he inquired:
"My son, how is it you are not at
school instead of idling in the
streets ?"
Itesitating a mo::cnt, the lad re
plied:
"Well, pap)'1 out of work, mla's
sick, brother Johnnie got his arm
broke, the baby's gettin' teeth, I
ain't; got no shoes amd, besides that,
there ain't no school today."

Ferguson as they sat at, breakfast. a
few miornlings ago, "what; did you do
with that letter to Aunt Rachel I
gave you to mail for ne last

AMr. Ferguson clapped his hand on
the breast pocket of his coat.
"Was it to Aunt Rachel ?" he ask
ed, hastily extracting from the pock
et a bundle of letters and miscel
laneous documents and looking
them over.
"Of course it was I wrote to
ask her to conic and s>enld the next
six weeks with us."
"Laura," gasped Mr. Ferguson, "I

The Iron Crown.
Tle famous iron crown of LoIn
bardy was of gold and precious
stones set in a thin ring of iron
which was believed to have been
formed from a nail of Christ's cross.
It was made by order of the queen
of the Longobards in 591 and pre
sented to her husband. With this
crown Charlemagne was crowned
and after him ill the emperors who
were kings of Lombardy. It was
this same crown that Napoleon put
on his head at Milan on May 26,
1805, exclaiming as' lie did so: "God
hias giv"en it to mue! Woe to him
who touches it!"
