The Place That Has Been Restored By King Georgs to Its Rightful Position Dates Back Three Thous- 'and Years and Is a Mystery From the Fact That It Mas Always Held the Reverence of the Hindu Race. On the day of his durbar His Ma- jesty King George the Fifth restored the city of Delhi to its ptatus as the chief city of all India: The removal of the Government headquarters from Calcutta to the city of the Emperors was the greatest tribute which the British Empire could have id to the vast Empire of Indias. s, in addition to the other boons which the King has so graciously granted to his Indian subjects, will cement the bonds of true British pa between ns- tive and English throughout all e provinces of ancient realms of the Mahrattas freebooters and will quash all the rumors of unrest and sedition. Mr. Percival Langdon in an article in The London Daily Telegraph writes the followin BE legs i { ¥ = most historic city of all India: There has scarcely been a period in Indian history, from the misty days of the Mahabharata, 3,000 years ago, to this present year of grace, at which Delhi has not been the key of Hin- i dustan. One is at first inclined to wonder why this somewhat feature- less and unfertile plain beside the brown Jumpa. waters should have so , enthralled the people of India from {all time. Of other capitals there has been the usual ebb and flow of popu- larity. Scores have vanished utterly. It would puzzle ninety-nine out of ay hundred Indian civilians to place ofthand Kanauj, Rohtas Hampi, See Ujjain, Mandu, Nadiya, Gulbarga, atl Sonagaon--scanty though such a list of the abandoned capitals of In- dia. Why, then, has Delhi remained? How hits she escaped the fate of Kan- auj? which once claimed suzerainty over her, or of Hastinapura, from . which her founders came? The an- swer to this question, like most hie torical problems, is to be found upon the map. India has glways been in- vaded from the northeast. Age after age the hardy mountaineers of the rug and unfertile central plateau of Asia swarmed down, through the Kharibat, upon the rich plains of the | Five. Rivers, and there heard of even | richér land, and cities farther away to the southwest. But to reach them there lay- but one road, and across that road lay Delhi. | To the' left of the onconting hordes | =hordes which, it must be remember- ied, were obliged to live entirely on the country--the advanced spurs of the Himalayas and deep rivers barred the way; to their right lay the water- less 'deserts of Sind and Rajputana. Only along the line of what is now the most famous highway of the world. the Grand Trunk Road there opened out an easy and well-supplied avenue towards those other lands 'of corn and vine'and wealth. Moreover it has always been the che point along the route that could not safely be left in the ¢1 mv!« possesgion. . It could not be passed hed Ro it was always around Delhi that the [ercest storm of re- sistance and attack arose and it was always at Delhi that the latest con- queror soon found himself obliged to re-erect the wallg that he had himself so recently levelled. And as years passed the slow but tremendous force of prestige began to invest this little central riverbank with a superstitions importavee. - A man who aimed at the Indian purple was a mere clan chiefs tain, or successlo! buccaneer, until he had force! hia w inte Delhi.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1912. : : ih § YE ANCIENT PILLORY. Existed In "Merrie" England as Late as 1887--1Its Original Intention. The pillory was done away with by Act of Parliament in the year 1837, and it is smazing that it should have endured until that date, for it was & mode of punishment which could be made so extremely barbarous as to be 8 crying scandal to any na- tion. This engine of torture seems to have been known be'ore the Conquest, ander the name of "stretch-neck." which 'is pleasantly suggestive of its functions, says The London Globe. Edward 1. enacted that all stretch pecks should be made of proper size so that the life of the occupatrt should not be endangered, and a print of the reign of Henry VIII. shows very clearly what the pillory was like in those days. The culprit mounted upon a stool, at pne side of which was fixed a pole, supporting & pair of boards hinged together, and with holes cut in them large enough to admit the wrists and neck. The hands and arms were thus held on a level with the face and the appalling stiffness which this must have caused can well be imagined. Thus confined and powerless, the of- fender was placed in some public spot, where the riffraff employad themselves hurling filth, sticks and stones at him until they were tired or until the object of their sport suc- cumbed, as not infrequently came to pass. It would seem that primarily the pile was intended for cheats of all inds, such as mountebanks, fraudu- lent dealers in horses, coal, corn, and so forth, and we read in Fabian that the Mayor of London in 1287 "did sharp correction upon bakers for mak- ing bread of light weight; he caused divers of them to be put in the pillory, as also one Agnes Daintie, for selling of mipgled butter." Boothsaying and other magic arts were also punished with the pillory. It would appear that famous men did not appear in the pillory until after 1637, when a star chamber de- ctee forbid the printing of any boek or pamphlet without permission from the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, or the university authorities, and also made an order that any printer who did not conform to this and set up a printing press should not only be pilloried, but alsu whipped through the City of London. One of the first 40 suffer under this infamous law was Leighton, father of the archbishop of that name, who, in defiance of the order, printed a book entitled "Zion's Plea Against' Pre- lacy." Leighton suffered for his tém- erity by being pilloried, fined $50,000, degraded from. the ministry, branded, whipped, having an ear cropped 'and his nostrils 'skit. Prynne was'-placed several times in the pillory for having libélled Queen Henrietta by anticipa- tion and on being imprisoned occu- fed himself' with' writing his "News rom Ipswich," for which he was again pilloried and forfeited his remaining ear. -' : ¢ . Burton and Doctor Bastwick were also pilloried at the same time, the latter for publishing. a reply to a cer- tain Bhort, which concluded: "From , pestilence and famine, from Pletons. priests . and ~ deacons good iver us!" Strafford is told by "the way 'in which the three underwent their 'pilloryings. "They stood two hours in the pillory. ~The 1ace was full, of people, who cried and Rowied terribly, especially when Bur ton was cropped. a Dr. Bastwick was very merry; his wife, Dr. Boe's daughter, mot gn a stool and kissed him. His ears peing cut off, she called for them, put giem in a cleab handkerchief, and orvtied them sway with her. Bastwick old the people the Lords had coliar-gays at court, 'but this was his collar-dag. rejoicing 'much in it. Club-8winging Extraerdinary. During" the last few weeks come marvellous feats of club-swinging en durance have been performed in New South Wales. At Tamworth, Tom = Burrows, an Australian, swung a pair of clubs weighing three poufs for 98 hours 50 minutes without a stop. This record was breken a week later at West Mait- land by Jack Beamish, an English- man, who went 100 hours before he | gave in. One would think it would be impos- sible for any one human to beat this, but beaten it was, by a club-swingger named Lawson, who, at Arindale, swung continuously for 161 hours. It % believed that the above are world's records. 1 i Artificial Snow. A curious instance of the formation of artificial snow was witnessed om one occasion in the town of Agen, in France. A fire broke out in a saw mill when the temperature was 10 point: The water thrown upon the fire was in stantly vapotized and, rising in the cold, dry sir, was immediately con- densed and fell as snow. With bright starlight and a strong northwest wind blowing, the whirling snow above and the raging fire below, a brilliant spec tacle was presented.

Yet another romantic story of lost heirs is at present engsging the st tention of the law; the fortune await ing the rightful claimants being no less than $25,000,000. The history of this fortune is a singular one. About the middle of the eighteenth cent Peter Taylor, a native of Falkirk, mi- grated to Hélland, after quarrelling with his brother, William Taylor. Pet- er not only amassed at wealth in Holland as a grain ler, but also married a rich Danish lady, his for- tune and estate, by a will dated 1785, ultimately passing to a nephew, also named Peter Taylor. An extraordinary provision in the will, however, was dat in the event of the nephew dying childless the money would lapse one hundred years, and then bedivided among the vext-of%kin. The nephew died child- | 1838. A hundred years having passed, legal firms in the city of Glasgow are now engaged in trying to trace the next-of-kin. Of course, there has been a wild scramble on the part 4 the meny members of the great Taylor family, but one of the principal claim- ants to the fortune is William Tay- lor, an old man of eighty, living at Coxhill Farm, near Falkirk. He is in the direct line, and he distinctly remembers his father speaking of his dealings with young Peter Taylor. Peter was a harumescarum boy, and leit for Holland in a hurry. e of- ten spoke of a rich uncle he had in Amsterdam. There is no doubt that Peter Taylor did die worth a huge fortune, and that he came from Fal- kirk. Under a Duteh Act, however, all unclaimed money after five years pass into the hands of the Govern- ment; but as the law was passed in 1852, long after the will was made, the Taylor families are doing all they can to prove that the law was not retrospective. Explorers and the Pigmy Women. Dr. Eric Marshall, a member of the recent - British expedition to Dutch New Guinea, has lectured in London on thie pigmy race of that land. The village, he has said, consists of only about ten huts, buik on piles, high on the wooded slope of a mountain 'of the interior. The pigmies range in height from 4 feet 2 inches to 4 feet R inches. It is believed that they are the original race of the vast island, and that the taller men of the swampy plains are the members of ! the tribe who have migrated and, in | the course of generations, aequired greater stature through getting bet- ter food. The huts are quite unfurnished ex- eept for a box of gand in the centre oft the flpor, which serves as a fire- lace. The explorers were never al. owed to see any of the women, thoitgh for a chance of photograph- ing "them they offered two axes--un- | told wealth to a tribe that has no knives and only one axe, The expedition explored 3,000 square miles of country hitherto untrodden by a white man. Of the six English. men, one was drowned, and two others were invalided home, while the unhealthy climate led to 83 per cont. of the coolies from Java being inyulided out of the country, and the deaths Jf i2 pe: cent.

Of the many relies of Nelson, few appear so interesting as a humble lit. | tle object in an obscure Norfolk town. | At the Paston Grammar School, near North Walsham, Lord Nelson was numbered amongst the pupils, and | one summer evening he spent some | tiie in carving the initials HW. on the wall that surrounds the school. Years afterwards; when he became | the people's. idol, visitors made a point of viewing his handiwork on the | wall, and precautions were taken to guard zealously this memento of the | famous admiral. But in 1881 a great storm blew down a tree, which in its fall partly demolished the noted masonry. On the following morning Mr. Rider Haggard, who was visiting the head master, spent some time in | assisting to' find. the magic letters, and it was reserved for the celebrated novelist to discover the identical | brick required. ! He handed it over to the principal of the school, and to-day the brick rest, enclosed in a shade bearing a suitable inscription, in the most pro- minent position in the school. Small wonder, therefore, that when a Nor. folk scholar was asked the question, "Who was Nelson?" he replied, "He was a brick!" nowing the about it---before using it.
