Orlmlnologlcul history unfold* some
Interesting ami curious "escapes" from
the gallows. In Sussex, England, a
man was found guilty of murder by
a Jury which did not take five minutea
in which to consider its .verdict
Twice he stood on the death-trap of
the gallows, on each occasion tga lever
failed to release the trap. An indig
nani country called for his reprieve,
which was granted. It was afterward
discovered tnat the gallows, Which was
made of wood in those days, had swol?
len l.y rain that fell heavily on both
the nights preceding the dates fixed
by the sheriff for the execution.
Hut here is the case of a man who
not only was saved from the gallows,
but from hearing his death sentence
passed by the .bulge! A man was
charged at the Old Baljey with a pe?
culiarly atrocious crime. The jury
sent in word from their retiring room
that they wer* unahle to agree upon
a verdict, atyl were escorted to the
London coffee house on Ludgave hill,
there 1o be locked up "without: food,
Are or light," until they had decided
upon a unanimous verdict. "
Eleven out of the dozen were in fav?
or of a verdict of "guilty," but ihe
foreman of the Jury, a Mr. James Sim?
mer, had a rooted objection to capital
punishment. He did not believe in the
Innocence of the man, but he refused
to consent to a verdict which, would
send the man to the gallows.
It whs Saturday afternoon wlien the
jury was locked up. By dawti next
day six of the Jurymer\ overcome by
discomfort antl lack of food, were
Willing to vote "Not guilty." Toward
the afternoon of Sunday the foreman,
actuated by feelings of compassion, ad
dressed his fellow-sufferers as follows:
"I am Witting to make you a sport?
ing offer au*l leave the decision hs to
the guilt or Innoncence Of the poor
wretch In Newgate to chnnce. ob?
serve: I shall balance the poker up?
right in front r>f the empty grate. I
ahull then slowly count 'One! two!
three!' You will range yourselves,
half your number on either side, iwo
yards away. At the word "three" we
shall Jump. If the poker faUs to the
side of the opposition I shall give In
to your verdict of ?guilty,' hut If It
COOiea down on my side you wfll Join
me In returning a verdict of mot guil?
ty.'?One! two three!" f
At the word "three" the twelve men
lumped for all they were worth. The
poker fell with a clatter to the side
of the foreman ! The warders were
summoned, and the jurors were escort?
ed back to the Old Bailey, re-entered
the jury box and gave their verdict.
The Judge, who ha/l provided him?
self with the ominous black :*ap, ap?
peared completely paralyzed with
astonishment on hearing the announce?
ment.' .
Twenty years later a convict at
Portland was 0atally Injured by the
premature explosion of a cartridge. Be?
fore he died he confessed to being guil?
ty of the crlnift for Which tlic inno?
cent man was arraigned at the Old
Bailey 20 years before, and was only
saved In the manner described, by the
fall of the poker toward the foreman
of the Jury.
Snn Jose, Gal*, Is going to he the
first town In the west to have a com?
munity educational theater. This pro?
posed theater Is not merely going to
present plays for the benefit of the
community, but It Is going to promote
acting among tag citizens themselves.
It will afford an opportunity for.,every
person from th?- tiniest tot to the old?
est citizen to gratify the desire to
appear In the world of make-believe,
according to Miss Mabel L. I>orsey,
vWio Masted the Idea.
Mis* Horsey, a graduate of a leading
school of musk and expression, took
np the question of establishing the
school with members of the chamber
of commerce of the city and It was
enthusiastic ally received by them. The
primary purpose of the theater Is not
to make actors, hut to develop men and
women as well as allow residents of
the community vo display their talents
In singing, s-penlflng and dancing.
Mother Hubhard'a Dog.
Mary's teacher one day asked her
to draw a picture of Old Mother Hub
bard's house, showing Old Molher
Hubbsrd and her dog Very quickly
Mary drew 1be rough outlines of what
was supposed to be a house, placing
the crude form of Old Mother Unh
bard beside the door. Then, with a
self sat laded air she handed her fin?
ished product to the teacher. "That Is
very good, Mary," commented the
teacher, as she hmked at the draw?
ing, "but where is the dog?"
"Oh. the doc Is In the house,"
promptly replied Mary.

Nautical Expressions Common in
Old Nantucket.
May Seem Somewhat Odd to the Vis?
itor, but Are Used by the Natives,
Without Thought of Any
incongruity.
The widow of a Newburyport sea
captain?she had once brought his ship
to port herself, when he was incapaci?
tated by injuries received In ft typhoon ;
?was long the joy of an old-fashioned
boarding house whose other residents
were chiefly quiet maiden ladies, be
cgNse of her breezy manner, loud voice
and oddly nautical turns of expres- j
slop. SIih would Invite a fellow board- j
er across the narrow table to pass the
butter In tones suited raiher to hail- j
lug the masthead in s gale. Every
spring her store of foreign sweet?
meats, end jams end Jellies compound- j
ed of queer tropical fruits, provoked |
; an irruption of small, red aids,
which would emerge in endless proces- j
sion from the crevices In her closet; j
and every spring she would shout 1
sloud at breakfast her Intention to
"swab the hull place with lie of pen
nyr'yal and then calk ever;/ dratted
crack."
Judge John C. Crosby of the Massa?
chusetts Supreme court, an authority
on the history and customs of quaint
NAntticket, has recently given Some
Interesting instances of the adaptation
there of nautical terms to landward
uses. Whether or not the inhabitants
of the island are the salt of the earth,
their manners and speech are enjoya
hly seasoned by the salt of the sea.
When a man goes to the mainland
he Is said to "go to America" or re
"ti e continent." This form of expres?
sion Is In. everyday use without any
consciousness of Its peculiarity.
In Nantucket yojn don't raise an um?
brella ; you "set It" like a jib. -
A house blind does not work loose;
It gets adrift.
"Everything Is drawing" means mak
log the most progress. During the
last phase of the war you heard that
"the allies have got everything draw?
ing."
When one Is prepared to go any?
where he Is said to be "hove short"
(thst Is. on his anchor cable) and
"ready to trip" (the anchor). Just he
fore the kHiser's flight T was told that
he was "hove short and about ready
to trip."
Instead of saying that a mi n is used
up or "all In," they say that he is "fin
out" (like a dying whale) : "I was
nearly fin out with the Influenza."
I One* heard It said of an extrava?
gant man on the Island, who 'spent
more than his Income, that he had
"two lamps burning and no ship at
sea."
When Ohed Mftcy, who wrote the
history of whaling In lK3.r>, drafted his
will In the year 1841. he Inserted the
following clauses, Which are character?
istic of the nSutlcal expressions of the
natives: "Item. 1 have cruised with
my wife. Huldy Jane, since 1811. We
signed articles in town before the
preacher on Independence day. I wnnt
I her and my son, Jot ham, to be captain
and mate in bringing to port whatever
I I leave and see that every one of the
crew gels the lay as writ down on
this paper. 1 put mother in command.
I I know sheel be captain anyway, for
six months after we staged on our
life cruise I found out that I was mate
and she was master. I don't mean
t,hat she ever mutinied, but I know
lliat whenever we didn't agree she al?
ways manoovned to windard.
"Item. 1 want mother to have the
I house on Union street till she goes
sloft. Then I want it to go to the
children In equal lays, etc.".
Not long ago the following notice
I was published In the local JS'sntucket
I newspaper:.
|. "The tnief who stole a Jug Of oil
I from the life-saving station on Great
Point on Sunday last is requested to
return the Jug to the place which he
j took It and he may keep the oil to
light his crime slained steps through
purgatory. And no questions will be

To Strengthen Steel.
CimTnnati is one of six places in the
world where steel is s( lengthened by
being 'ho 'ed in oil. Recently at a
plant ' i Carthago, a steel shaft weigh?
ing 3<>.b00 pounds, the largest piece
ever subject*;! to ihe new method,
went through the process of being
strengt honed. It was a "hollow-bored
tumbler shaft" for use in dredging
gold in California, costing about $17.
<*>0 The great shaft was tirst sus?
pended in an upright furnace until
heated to Jnst below the melting point.
A crane then picked It up and dropped
It into a huge well of oM, where It
boiled and sputtered, throwing out
clouds of oily mist.
Some of the Rind.
An Indianapolis man says thst re?
cently he took home some honey with
quite n bit of comb in it.
Naturally the smallest boy desired
some bread and butter snd honey, hut
in asking for It, seid: "I want some
bread and bulter and some honey, ano
i want some of the lind, too."
World's Currency.

Use of Rice Bound to Increase.
The comparatively low cost of rice
has made it the staple arth;le of food
In Asiatic countries. Hice is also
extensively Used In all Other parts ot
the world, as It Is easily transported
and can be held for a considerable
; period without deteriorating. Uteri

The word raisin Is generally need
