PUBLIC RIDICULE. The Time When It Served as Puniahmcnt c or Lawbreakers. It is tin- prnlilem of nil nges to make the imiiishnieilt lit the erlme, hut they seem to have come nearer its solution In I’laut a-.'Siel ! ines than they ever were ut ier the hitroiluetIon of Hogging. When hut".;!ary meant the total ruin of the man who kept his whole for tune In his house the burglar was hanu'eU. Hut In ihe same period public ridicule Served as a punishment fur most crimes, and the man who sold had in ii a as placed in the pillory and Ids had meal burned to windward of him; tlie vintner who sold laid wine was h r cd to drink some of it and the rest was poured over his head; for more erl a-; offenses the criminal had to walk along Cheapside bareheaded, dressed only in a shirt and carrying a wax taper, escorted by the mayor's sergeants. The result was that law and order were maintained far better than when men be< nine brutalized by the horrible Hoggings of tieorgian times. IMinishmcnts became worse with religious | rseeutious. and after the reformation the pillory, with its terrible accompaniment of - lit ears, whippings, etc., became popular, to say nothing of torturing, burning at the stake, and so on At St Thomas' hospital one of the sisters, “for a grave offense, contrarie to ye la we of (!od and according to the pro lie of three wetnesses,” was ordered to • b" punished and have xll strypes well laid on." But all this had as it was. was less demoralizing than the terrible criminal code of < I cargo ll.'s reign, when there were foriy eight crimes punlsh- ■ hie by death and forty punishable by whipping, iransporlation or pillory I’lo.' .ing foi mere vagrancy lie gan with Henry VIII.. and as late as IHnI >i\ women were publicly whipped at (iloin ester for this unavoidable offense.

The Slashing Sharks' Teeth

the Polynesians.

Clubs were tlie weapons of primitive and savage man. Ancient specimens from Mexico are heavy sticks grooved along tlie side for the insertion of blades of bosidian—tliat is, volcanic glass. The Sioux club is a flat piece of wood, curving and widening away from the grip and terminating in a spherical bead, which In modern times carries n long spike, while the blades of several butcher knives are common !y inserted along the margin. The ua tional museum of tlie United States possesses a great variety of these shocking weapons, designed, as the frontiersmen say, to “knock down the white man and then to brain him and cut him Into mince meat.” The Kingsinllk islanders and other Polynesians make dreadful slashing weapons by securing rows of sharks' teeth along a

haft of wood.

These wea|K»na vary from a few Inches to sixteen feet In length, and it has lieen said that in all the range of weapons devised by mankind there is nothing more blood curdling to lieliold. They show how the sword may have licen evolved from the club even by tribes unacquainted with the use of metals. African weapons, again, are exceedingly complicated owing to the acquaintance of the natives with iron. The standard club Is converted Into a sort of tomahawk by the addition of blades or into a primitive spear by the addition of a sharp spud. The plain clubs in the African area are used chiefly for throwing. The small knobbed clubs, or “korries.” such as are found among the Kafflrs and other African tribes, are generally used ns missiles. Whereas the club proper was soon brought to perfection among savage tribes and was long ago abandoned as n weapon of civilized warfare, the missile—typlfled by (lie thrown clubs or •'kerries”— is still being improved upon in boomerangs, bows and arrows, crossbows

and firearms.

BEETHOVEN AND BUSINESS. Selling His Music Was Distasteful to the Great Composer. An extremely Interesting article which has appeared in a German musical and theatrical paper under the above heading contains the following statement, says a Loudon exchange; Beethoven never bargained in the ordinary way. His fees for a composition were demanded briefly and in a decided manner, and he always pointed out wiieu mentioning a price Hint he meant guineas and not sovereigns, or, rather,* their equivalent in Austrian coin, in 1S01 he wrote to a music Urui at Leipzig: “Now the unpalatable business part is done with. 1 wish things could be managed differently In tills world. There should lie only one mu sic publisher to whom the artist might take ids work, knowing that lie might ask a fee according to Ills requirements. As it is, he lias to lie partly a tradesman. Good heavens, how different and unpalatable this is!” But this pious wish was never fulfllled, and Beethoven hud to remain “half a tradesman” to the end. As a suggestion of how dedications are occasionally made, tlie following letter, which Beethoven wrote to the same publisher in Usui: from A’ienua, is

Interesting:

“The lady in question can have a sonata, and 1 will do my host to carry out her aesthetic ideas. The price is fi guineas (ducaten), and for tliis she may retain the sonata for a year as her private property, hut not tor publication. At the end of tlie year the sonata becomes my property—that is to say, 1 have the rigid to publish it, and if site thinks it an honor she may ask to have the work dedicated to

her.”

This, from the business point of view of the lady in question, is surely a tempting offer. At least, so the art patroness of today would think if she had a chance of suggesting to a Beethoven the “aesthetic Idea” for a sonata, to retain such a treasure In her own hands for a twelvemonth and thereafter have it dedicated to her and ail for 5 guineas! The Proper Word. Beckoning from the standpoint of the lexicographer. Until, aged seven, committed an unpardonable assault on the king’s English, hut tlie seventyfive other persons living in that apartment house would swear that she chose the proper word. Ruth's comment concerned the vocal gymnastics of a lady who was learning to sing. ‘‘She is having her voice dlfticulted,” said Ruth, and every one of the seven-ty-five nerve racked neighbors echoed, “She Is.”—New York Times. Three Signs. Peculiarities of signs are a source of never ending delight to some people.
