CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
By A. W. MACY.
RIDING THE 8TANQ.
In the north of England It was
formerly the custom to puniih
wife-beating, hen-pecking and
other frailties incident to mar
ried .life, by a peculiar process
known as "riding the stang." It
was so called because the leader
was borne on a "stang," the
north country word for a chair
fastened on two poles. In south
ern England the process is called
"rough music." The offender
was called upon by a company
of men, women and children and
treated to a loud and boisterous
serenade, the Instruments being
cows' horns, fire shovels, tongs,
frying pans, pot lids used as
cymbals, tin pails, and other im-
8 plements and utensils cpable
jj of producing loud and discordant
noises. Along with the din the
serenaders would keep up a con
stant hooting and yelling, and
make many Jeering remarks to
the culprit. If one application
was not sufficient, the perform
ance would be repeated; some
times, In flagrant cases, every
evening for a week. This form
of punishment Is known to have
been meted out to wife-beaters as
late as 1862, and there is some
ground for believing that the
custom still survives among the
lower classes In some parts of
England. In this country newly
wedded couples are sometimes
treated to a serenade somewhat
resembling the above ceremony,
but it Is always good-natured
and does not carry the Idea of
punishment.. We call it "chariv
ari," pronounced "shlv-a-ree."
