An Additional Mill.
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. How well for some of
us that we w.erc not born a century
earlier!

WILD HOUSES DYING OUT.
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. '
Warwickshire Is specially rich In
these survivals of eighteenth century
"homo rule" methods. There is one at
Kenllworth which did good service to
the husbands of Queen Kllzabeth's
days; and another Is to be found In the
crypt of Beauchamp chuich.
But though England in these days
