l Formerly the "common wold" th
women who made her neighbor' llvei
Intolerable with her raging temper, hei
bitter tongue, her nlanderoua and cal
umnies was found everywhere. Lawi
were passed recognizing her as on
kind of criminal. There were twt 1
forms of punishment by which she wai ,
repressed or deterred, or cowed lntc j
gentleness, viz.. the ducking-stool and
the brank. The cucking-stool assumed
various shapes, but It generally con
Hinted of a chair on one end of a beam,
, which rested on a bar bb to make a
see-saw. Sometimes the chair wai
hung from the beam by a chain. Th
culprit being tied on the chair, the
other end of the beam went up and th
chair went down Into the water, sous
ing the woman completely. They did
this three times, after which turfy lei
her go.
Such stools belonged to nearly even
parish; like the stoiks and the pillory,
they formed part of the furniture ol
justice. For Instance, about London.
There was one on Banksldo with which
they ducked the wives of the players.
There was one at Ratcllffe; one nt
Kingston-on-Thames, and there wai
one whloh stood till the beginning ol
this century beside the great pond 01
reservoir of the Orn Park.
Apparently the chair and the cold
hath did not completely destroy tn
temale tendency to scold, for It was
found necessary to Invent another pun
ishment, which waa extensively adopt
ed, although oot authorized by the law.
This was the "brank," or "scold's
bridle," which consisted of a small
cage formed by Iron hoops to fit the
head, with a piece of Iron which press
ed the tongue and formed the gag.
Thus adorned, the scold was either led
or carried about the town for all the
world to see. Sometimes she was plac
ed on a high soaftoH. The brank waa
used in some places down to the begin
ning of the century. Its disuse, it dis
appearance, the universal oblivicn of
the punishment, make one incline to
the belief that the scold has also disap
peared. However, Buch Is not the cane.
The disease or Infirmity of scolding
still exists, but In a much milder form.
The mildness of the modern form Is
mainly due to the Improved conditions
of life.
Two hundred years ago the village
household was Insufficiently fed, the
quality as well as the quantity of the
food was bad, work was hard, men
were rough, husbands beat their wives
habitually; In cold weather they were
thinly clad; In hot weather their
clothes were too thick. If there waa
any Indulgences possible, It took the
form of beer. Tea did not exist. Chil
dren, hungry and sold, cried all day
and all night; everything combined to
exasperate a woman. What wonder
if, from time to time, she lost control
of herself and became copiously elo
quent over her wrong? Things have
greatly Improved. The husband no
longer or very seldom beats his wife;
the food has become cheap; wages have
gone up; luxuries, tormorly unattain
able, have become neceasarlns; the
scold Is dying out of the land, because
there Is so little left to bcold about.
Philadelphia Ledger.
The Deatlly London For.
Tho London fogs always Increase the
death-rate In that city. Ono of tho
worst on record, both for density and
protractedness, lasted from the begin
ning of November, 1879, to the follow
ing February. The deaths for the six
weeks ending Feb. 21 were 1,730, 1,900,
2,200, 3,378, 2,495, and 2,016, the deaths
In the fourth week being thus nearly
double those In the first. The deaths
from asthma were most affected by the
fog. The death-rate for bronchitis roso
to 331 pr cent., and for whooping cough
to 231 per cent, above the average.
Again, in 1882, in the week ending Feb.
13, the death-rate owing to the dense
fog rose from 27.1 In the previous week
to 35.3, disease of the respiratory or
gans being 994, as compared with an
average of 430. During the great tog
of Dec. 8 to 14, 1873, the horn-id cattle
at Islington cattle Bhow exhibited
symptoms of suffocation. Some ac
tually died, and others were slaughter
ed to save the value of the meat

Adirondack.
The word "Adirondack" comes to U8
from the language of the Mohawks.
With them it was Ha-de-ron-dack, and
meant wood-eaters. This term was
applied in derision to a few members
of a once powerful branch of the Al
gonquins, who were defeated by the
Iroquois and forced to seek refuge In
the fastness of the mountains. They
were in great distress, and It Is said
they sent messengers to their victors
asking them to make no further war
upon them, as they were reduced to the
necessity of eating roots and the bark
of trees. A few of them finally escaped
to the north and others were captured
and held In slavery by the Mohawks.

Queen Victoria's Telephones.
' A year or two ago the Queen had the
telephone Introduced into Windsor
Castle. During the past fortnight five
or six of the newest pattern of tnese
machines have been placed upon her
Majesty's desk, so that now the Queen
Is able by the assistance of private
wires to communicate telephonlcally
direct with the Prime Minister, the
Home Office, Marlborough House,
Claremont and Buckingham Palace. It
Is a somewhat fine thought that the
sovereign who governs over the most
extensive empire of modern times Is,
'by the Joint means of telephone and
telegraph, thus enabled to communi
cate with the most distant of her sub
jects. London Graphic.

It Hal lleen li ninnM rntort to hn as Good
for Rninnirr n for Winter flt'dlng.
Th Southern Wh,le or ensilage corn
Is pn ferred by many on account of Its
fnmiou growth. It should be planted
as early In nprlng as the clunker of front
Is pant, In order to i ablc It to mature
more iKi'tectly. It o. n be pliinted simi
lar to any other field coin, and should
have the sums cultivation. It has been
demonstrated that ullage Is often as
good for summer feeding a,3 for winter.
I mean to experiment till summer on
making ensilage from rye for summer
use. The rye will be cut about May 10
or 20, and the ground planted to corn
for winter silage. Last year I cut a
Held of clover early for hay and Imme
diately prepared and planted the field
to corn. After the corn waa removed In
the fall, the gru d was cultivated
(never plowed) and sown to the rye,
which will be siloed J May. This might
be called Intensive farming with a ven
geance, but farmer must practice
something like It If they wish to suc
ceed at present low prices).
It la necessary to plant an early va
riety of corn If planted late. I have
planted a late as July I, in Northern
Ohio, with good success. Laet year It
was planted the last week In June. Al
though caught by an unusually early
frost, the corn madu very good ensllag.
It had been planted In drills about
twice as thick as ordinary field corn.
It developed a great many ears, some
of which were well matured. One ad
vantage in late planting Is the ease
with which It Is kept clean. It does
not require more than half the labor
than when planted six or eight weeks
earlier. After the corn Is removed the
ground requires but Uttlo preparation
before seeding to rye. One thorough
working with a sprlnjr-tooth harrow or
cultivator, followed by a smoothing har
row, Is all that Is required. I have
sown rye as late as October 15, with
good results. It wan as rank as could
be desired, some be I lodged. But In
order to bear such r -ntinued cropping
the land must be rl''i or highly man
ured. It certainly wl'l not pay to waste
time and labor on poor soil. O. J. Vine,

Teonlnte as a Fodder Flint.
There la more than the usual Inquiry
for forage plants, notably the non-saccharine
sorghums, and especially teo
elnte. While we believe the area of suc
cessful culture for such varieties of sor.
ghum as Kaffir corn, Mllo maize, durra,
etc., can be widely extended, we always
caution farmers against planting large
ly of these crops In regions where their
Ytsnj aif
TeoHlnte.
adaptability to soli and climatic condi
tions has yet to be ascertained. Teo
sinte Is evidently growing In favor In
the Middle and Northern States. While
this plant requires a tropical climate In
which to mature seed. It has a wide
range as a fodder crop, and Is especial
ly welcome for the large amount of
green food which tt supplies late In
summer, when pasturage is poor and
green forage Is scarce. Our confidence
In teoslnte as a safe crop for the cen
tral and Northern States Is based upon
many favorable reports and our own
experience with the plant. At our ex
perimental farm In Bucks County, Pa.,
we have been growing teoslnte for
more than half a dozen years without
ever having It fall, either In wet or dry
ueasons. It makes a rapid, luxuriant
growth, and withstands drouth much
better than Indian corn. Both leaves
and stalks are eagerly eaten by stock,
either In the green state or when cured
Into fodder. Judging from the numer
ous Inquiries in regard to the plant,
and the more than usual demand for
the seed, teoslnte will be more largely
planted this season than In any year
since its Introduction In 1879. Ameri

Poisoning From Inacctleldes.
The danger of poisoning to stock feed
ing In sprayed orchards Is Infinitesimal
We never heard of the slightest Injury
to any class of stock by eating the
grass or windfalls from orchards spray,
ed with parls green or other poisons for
insects or fungi. If Instead of being
pastured, the grass is allowed to grow
and made Into hay, it will be perfectly
safe to feed It. Sheep, hens or hogs eat
dng the little apples that first fall off
will not be Injured. If the worms are
so bad as to require repeated sprayings
within a day or two It might be well
to wait until the first shower before
turning In stock, but this la hardly
necessary. Several experiment stations
have tested this matter by feeding
stock and have also analyzed the grass,
hay, leaves and windfalls, and have
found such Infinitesimal quantities of
poison on them as not to injure stock.
In fact, small doses of arsenic are fre
quently used in medicine with good re
sults. American Agriculturist.

Protection From Insects.
Insects begin their work In this cli

have ascended the trees, we know of no
help for them. The tent-caterplllar Is
more manageable, for that hangs out
its sign, and It can be readily seen
where he is to bo found. Remove every
nest, not only those found In the orch
ard, but from the wild cherry trees
which they are apt to Infest. A recent
English Journal of horticulture gives
the following new remedy for the bark
scale: A strong solution of soft soap Is
mixed with clay and made as thick as
It will work with a brush. The whole

The Vnlrinn Fxperlenee of the First Man to
t arry an Umbrella In Undon.
We have It on good authority that
Jonas Hanway, the eccentric philan
thropist, was the first person wht
walked about the streets of Londor
with an umbrella over his head. Hi
was a man who did not want courage
as we know from other deeds which h
did of a more dangerous sort, liclng
a Quaker, he was not afraid of sneera
or Jeering remarks, which Quaker!
have always had to encounter. Very
likely he was both Insulted and pelted
when he appeared with his umbrella
In some streets, for the constables ol
the reign of George III. did not keer
order so well as our modern policemen
do. Probably good Mr. Hanway's or
iginal umbrella was even larger than
those to which, In allusion to one ol
IMcken's tales, the popular name ol
"gamps" Is often given by way ol
Joke. The Georgian umbrellas are de
scribed to us as being made of green
oiled canvas, with cane ribs which
would not bear a strong gust of wind.
Cowper, the poet. In his "Task," men
tions the umbrella as an article which
people used to protect them from the
sun, because It was the fashion then to
cut down many of the fine old trees of
parks and groves, so that perhaps this
was Hanway's first Idea about It, that
it made a good sunshade.
Evidently the umbrella came to "J
from the East, where It Is employed for
that purpose, but the French had It be
fore us. This was one think which
made people dislike It, for French fash
Ions were thought silly. MacDonald,
writing in A. D. 1778, says that the
London idlers and the hackney coach
men shouted after him when he car
ried an umbrella, and called him a
"mincing Frehchman." His sister was
out walking with him, and she was so
much insulted that he had to take
refuge In a shop. Uut I must say some
thing about Jonas Hanway, for he Is
worthy to be remembered.
He was born at Portsmouth In A. D.
1712, and traveled about the world a
good deal, and published a book giv
ing an account of his travels in Per
sia. With some other gentleman he
founded the Marine Society In 1756,
which was Intended to benefit beggar
boys and orphans, by giving them an
outfit and starting them as Bailors up
on trading ships. He was himself a
Russian merchant. Then he was one
of the early friends of Sunday schools
through the Bchools which he helped to
start were different to those we have
now; they were the means of taming
children who were like young savabos.
They heard the truths of the Bible and
were taught to read. It was not till
this century that a machine for sweep
ing chimneys was invented and the
custom of employing boys as climbing
sweepers gradually ceased, but before
that Jonas Hanway did what he could
to protect these poor little fellows.
They had often to go up chimneys on
bitter cold mornings; sometimes they
stuck fast and died, often they got bad
bruises and sores from this dangerous
work. Some of the timid ones, too,
were always afraid of meeting bogles
In the chimneys. Even at the age of
six or seven children were so employ
ed, because, when small, they could
climb up narrow chimneys better, and
little girls were actually sent up some
times. Mr. Hanway obliged the mas
ters to feed these young Bweeps prop
erly, to have them washed after their
work, and to give them beds, not dirty
sacks, to sleep upon; also he got their
hours shortened.
When he was in London, Hanway
lived during many years In a house in
Red Lion square, Holborn, and he had
all the reception rooms there decorated
with beautiful paintings and devices.
The reason he gave for this was a good
one; he said that often visitors did not
know what to talk about, and these
wall scenes gave them a subject. Chatterbox.
Queerest Railroad Kver llullt.
Many railroad engineers have firm
faith In the future of the single truck
elevated style of construction of which
several experimental specimens have
been built both in this country and
Europe.
This class of railroads Is called "peg
leg" by some people, "bicycle" by
others. At Ridgeway, Ont., a new In
vention has been constructed, on the
line of aerial railways, that has at
tracted a great deal of attention from
railroad builders. The road connects
the town of Ridgeway with a pleasure
resort known as Crystal Beach, and is
two miles long. It consists of a track
made of stringers of wood, which are
supported on wooden posts placed
about five feet apart, and on these at
Intervals of every two and a half feet
are bolted iron ties, which In turn sup
port the centre "T" rail and the two
guide rails. These guide rails are eigh
teen Inches apart, and the "T" rail on
which the cars run is between three
and four Inches higher than these.
The car runs on two flat wheels along
the "T" rail, and Is held upright by
four bevelled wheels which move along
the guide rails. While the car is in
motion it retains Its upright position,
in obedience to the same laws of mo
tion that cause a bicycle to retain its
equilibrium, hence the popular name
of "bicycle railroad."
It is a remarkable fact that when the
train Is in motion the guide wheels
hardly touch the rails, the car running
very easily and steadily upon two flat
wheels. The motive power is supplied
by storage electric batteries, and the
cars are equipped with electric lights,
brakes and bells. Each car weighs
8,000 pounds and will seat eighteen pas
sengers. Baron Ilirscb Left Klghly Millions.
I It will probably be found that the
estate of the late lamented Baron
Hlrech will realize 180,000,000, after
deducting the 20,000,000 already gen
erously expended for the benefit of the
Jewish community in the Argentine
scheme. Of this, one-half is devoted
to charitable purposes under the super
vision of four trustees, who, In addi
tion to all their expenses, are to re
ceive for five years as compensation
for their trouble the sum of $20,000 per
annum. The remainder Is absolutely
at the disposal of the UaronesB, who
