Contt actor Com nil Schroeder yestei day morning broke ground for the con struction of a new addition to the Lneknwnnna mills In South Scranton. This addition is to be 40x80 feet In sle and fout stotles high. It Is to bo completed by June 1, and will be used for the manufacture on an extensive si .lie of cotton underwear. The company has always manufae tilted cotton underwear, but this busi ness has so ittct eased lately along this pattlcular line that the new building cunte to be an absolute necessity. It will have a capacity of 500 dozen pieces of underwear a day. and a large extra force of emploes will, of course, be needed. done. He said that the wild herd whldi one was detei mined to capture olwajs had a certain range. This range wan known from mn who stouted on the prairies. For instance, one man may hava seen the "bunch," for that Is what the herd Is called, up near some pattlcular point in tho northwest of the Panlnndle. Another Linger may hae scon th same "bunch" fifty miles southeast of -hore the Hist man saw it. Othetrf may lrne seen It along the route between the two points Thus It would bo concluded that the lange was between the two points mentioned. Four or five men would enter the expedition to walk down the "bunch." A man would be stationed every twenty or thirty miles along the tango route, and then the "bunch" would be started. For the first day the wild horses would scamper oft, throwing their manes and tails to the breeze, making a sight that would whet the desire of those pursuing them to captuie them, for there Is nothing prettier in the wot Id than a troon of wild hot sen at a distance. They loon petfection. when they throw up their head-i and sniff the w Ind and then scamper away. I have seen one or two bunihcs niself. The man who starts them on their trips follows them for a o&y on a pony, taking his time. His olaro is taker by the second matt about nightfall, presuming that the bunch was started In the morning'. The second man follows them all night, for the hunt Is made when there Is n full moon, so that the bunch can be ttacked at night as well as during tho day. On the morning when the third man takes the trail, the stallion, or master of the bunch, is behind the herd, biting and kicking the laggards. In It. The third day, or even the evening of tho second day, finds the bunch strung out In a straight line, each following the other In Indian file. They arc getting verv tired then They are allowed no time to eat or drink. The pursuer knowing that they are tiring, forces them, and thus the chase continues for about five days, when the whole hcd is so tlrea that It Is easily taken. Hut, so said my Informant, when tile woik Is done and rvtry horse takei, the pursurers are always unanimous In their verdict that the game was not worth the labor expended, for tho horses taken ate a measly set, and never good for anything. "Creasing" means shooting the ani mal just beneath the mane, not low enough to bteak the neck, and yet low enough so that a shock sufficient to bring" down the animal will be In flicted, It requires the I'est marks, manshlp to do this, and as the dis tance at which the shooting must be done Is usually great, very few ani mals have been taUt n in this way. wives ha no use for such barbaric methods, there Is a rumor that "duck ing" is to be revived In New Jersey, whero certain ladles' tongues refuse to yield to moral suasion; and muz ties are In constant use for refractory women In tho provincial penitentiary at Cologne. Not long ago a girl who was wearing oho of these muzzles wns found dead, and the chief officials of tho prison wero charged with man slaughter. It could .not bo, proved, however, that death was due to suffo cation from the muzzle, and the om elets wero acquitted. In the statute books of Vltglnln Is to he found this quaint and amusing law: "Whereas many babbling women slander and scandalize their neighbors, for which their poor husbands are oft en Involved In chargeable and vexa tious suits and costs In great damages: He It enacted that In notions of slan der occasioned by the wife,, utter Judg ment passed for tho damages, tho wo man shall bo punished by ducking, nnd if the slander be so enormous as to bo adjudged at greater damages than COO pounds of tobacco, then the woman to suffer a ducking for each 5Q0 pounds of tobacco adjudged against her hus band If he refuses to pay the tobacco." It Is sad to record that very few husbands were complacent enough to pay tho tobacco; nnd In Virginia to this day a prudent man never ventures to speak of any woman as a "little duck." The term of endearment Is too painfully reminiscent., ' 'Time was In England when the mil der method's of'flnes wns tried; and a woman whoso tongue was a source of vexation to her husband or neighbors was" haled before the magistrate, and given the, option of a fine or a ducking. As, however, the payment of the fine usually fell to the lot of tho husband It Is, perhaps, little wonder that duck ing was preferred by him: and If when tho wife had had an experience of cold water she gave her husband an exper- lence of hot water, at least It was pref erable to paying a heavy fine. It Is interesting, at the end of tho nineteenth century, to conjure up n picture of "ducking," as practiced at tho end of the eighteenth century. When the "scold" has been properly tried and convicted, she was escorted by a crowd of her neighbors In fact, by the whole village to the nearest pond, the better. A long plank was produced, at one end of which wns the "ducking stool," and in this the screaming, struggling victim was se curely pinioned. The. chair end of the plank was then pushed far over the edge of the pool, and at a signal It was tilted deep Into the green ooze until the scold wus com pletely Immetsed. When the dtipplng. half-dtowncd woman was raised to the sui face again. to the jeers and laughter of the onlook ers. , It can be Imagined that her tongue wagged to some put pose. After a second dose she emerged mote sub dued, and after a third or fourth she was as penitent a woman as the village contained, and was allowed to proceed home a sadder and wiser .fwoman un til the next'ttnie. An alternative to tho ducking stool was the muzzle, or. "scold's bridle," a helmet which was padlocked on tho head, and which was provided with a gag which Insured silence as long as it was in position.. Another favorIt method of "(liming a shrew" wus to carry her through the village seated on a plank, to the accompaniment of alt the old, pans and kettles the village could mus'tcr.

Fencing Big Texas Pastures Has Greatly Reduced the Herds. From tho Jlnlvcston News The wild hoi si s whli.lt used to roam the Texas ptalrles ate about all gone. 1 usked an old icsldent what had be come of thtni and he told me that only a veiy few temalned, and that they were In tho laig puidutes, and that they were being killed as often as a shot could ba had at them. I asked him the reason for til's desttuc tlon, and he said that they were worthless, In tin first place, nnd In ;he second they stole other horses which wcie good and catrled them off with them. He Informed nte also that of all the wild cnlmals a horse or mule which had formerly been under the dominion of man was H19 wildest when once It became a part of u wild herd. Tho stallions of th wild held were always ambitious to keep their bunch" filled, and would steal a mare or hotse, or even a mule, from tho i.ettlcments or cow ranches, when the occasion presented Itself. When onc a tame horse or a mulu got with a wild herd ho became the vlldest and most cunning of them all As tho wire fences went up tho territory of the wild hors-s contracted. Finally rll that remained were In tho largo pas til ret-'. I was told that befovo the pasture came It wns the custom to -"walk down" the wild herds and reduce them to servitude. One man I met here told mo how this "walking down" was HOW TO CURE A COLD. Fiom Tit-Bits. What our forefathers must have suffeted from tho ilgors ot women's tongues may be partly gauged by the drastic measures they devised to tame them the ducking stools and muzzles, of which several still survive In dif ferent parts of England, rusting in disuse. It wns not many years since ono of these "Instruments of reform" was discovered In thj tower of old Hack ney church. It was a ducking (or, perhaps, more correctly, a "cucklng") stool, consisting of a stout framework of Iron hoops, with a bottom of Iron lattice woik, on which the scolds of a century or more ago took their seat! for their enforced baptism In river or pond; probably In this case in Hack ney brook, which used to flow within a few yards of wheie Mare street now stands.
