"ENACTED BY THE PURITANS. msmpgr-- Witchoraft Was an Offense Punishable' With Death, and It Was a Crime For Child to Kiss on the Sabbath Day. Blue laws were no joke, though often an object of irony and derision. They were drawn up by, tan ploneers-- a race of stern ang inlexible men who in the excess of their religious zeal and enthusiasin adopted such sanctimonious names as Stand-Fast-on-High Stringer, { K§LSin Sioith, More Fruit Fowlér, Fight-the-Good-Fight: Fowler. Jt may be well to say here that each of these names cited was actually gly- en to and borne by a man, and names of the same sort are to be found in the records of New England, says Him- mans in his "Blue Laws of Connect- | fent." These men went straight to the old Mosale law of Holy Writ for their code, In fact, each section of the capital grewsome combination of sermon and death warrant. 2 The original blue laws were those written of New Haven, Connecticut colony, at the first more or less un- written, or at least unprinted, but sys- tematized and printed by Governor Eaton in 1606. They were enveloped iu blue colored paper, whence the popu. lar and subsequently unpopular name. The Plymouth and Massachusetts colonies also had their blue laws, cal- culated to send a chill through every 'human vein. Even New York, Mary- | 1and, Virginia and South Carolina--in fact, all the English colonial settle- ments in seventeenth century America ~had laws, orders and resolutions of 'more or less pronounced indigo tint But the true blue laws or code was that which terrorized' early Connectl- cut. These, known as capital laws and 'purporting to punish, according to the penalties prescribed in the Old Testa- ment, those offenses forbidden theréin, were enacted in April, 1642, The texts of Scripture on which they are based were added to each law, as dicta pro bantia, showing the divine authority by which they were defending, and are singular specimens of jurisprudence.' . For instance, witchcraft is one of the | first offenses taken up. It is enacted that "if a man or woman be a witch or hath consulted with a familiar spirit [they shall be put to death." And "if any man steal a man or mankind or selleth him or he be found in his hand {{he shall be put to death." Yet the good colonists made slaves of the Pequot Indians as the regulation | punishment for breaking these same blue laws. The Puritan legislators, having dis posed of the ordinary everyday crimes, {went on in due course to enact the more minute laws, covering every con: | celvable misdemeanor, from sneezing | in church to crossing a stream other | wise than by the licensed ferry. || It reminds ove of De Quincey's iron}: | cal observations to the effect that the | habit of murder if persisted in may | Jedd insensibly to procrastination and Sabbath breaking. The following examples, transcribed literally from the best authorities on | 'American colonial history, relate most ly to the heinous crime of Sabbath | breaking: | ""No one shall run on the Sabbath day { or walk in his garden or elsewhere ex- - cept reverently to and from meeting. "No one shall travel, cook victuals, | make beds, sweep house, cut hair or shave on the Sabbath day. "No woman shall kiss her ckhild on | the Sabbath or fasting day. { "The Sabbath shall begin at sunset on Saturday. "It any man shall kiss his wife ot wife kiss her husband on the Lord's day the party in fault shall be pun- ished at the discretion of the court ot magistrates." (Tradition says a gentleman of New Haven after an absence of some | months reached home on the Sabbath | and, meeting his wife at his door, | kissed her with an appetite and for his temerity in violating this law the next day was arraigned before the court and fined for so palpable a breach of the Jaw on the Lord's day) . "No one shall read common prayer, keep Christmas or saints' days, make minced ples, dance, play cards or play on any instrument of music except the drum, trumpet and jewsharp." It is said by Peters in his "History '| of Coonecticut" that these laws were the laws made by the people of New Haven previous to their incorporation with Saybrook and Hartford colonles fied with excommunication, confisca: tion, fines, banishment, whipping, cut ¥ ™ Husband and Wife or Mother and, laws has its Bible text appended--a | "THE SAILOR CRAB. to Sea on Long Voyiges on the | Backs of Giant Turtles. Among the many curious crabs there is gerbaps none more interesting than th# sailor crab, a name applied to it because it goes to sea on long voy- ages; which it makes on the backs of big green turtles and giant logger: pads. The sailor erab is a little fellow with a body three-quarters of an inch or an inch in lemgth. With its claws extended it might measure an inch and a half. It is a very pretty crab indeed, with- eolor markings that are various; it may be found with a shell all yellow, or with 'a shell of dark colors with lighter shadings like those of finished tortoise shell; or it. may have a mottled shell, or® shell whese coloring resembles that of veined marble. It seems all the prettier seen amid its rough surroundings on the big loggerhead's dingy brown shell. The big loggerhead, with a top shell five, six or seven feet in length, may afford a floating home for various other living things Barnacles attach to it and marine vegetation that lodges on its back sticks there and thrives Bome day when the big 'turtle, with all this life on its back, swims into shallower waters to feed, or works its way through some floating mass of seaweed, one or two sailor'crabs may wome aboard, shipping thus for a long wovage. The sailor crab finds food among the meadows or forests of vegetation on fits island, or in the scraps that come to it from the turtle's table. It might seem that the big loggerhead couldn't catel' fish, but it is a great swimmer, and it will smash into a 'school of fish and snap up what it wants, and scraps from this float back to lodge on the turtle's back and there furnish food for the sailor. So the sailor crab ut sea on the turtle's back is likely to get enough to eat, but it has to be 8 lways on the lookout not to be swept off the ship's deck in heavy weather, « and 80 be lost in the ocean or devour. ad by some predatory monster of the deep. imiiand-- Couldn't De It.

The sphinx--some sort of fabled monster--proposed a riddle to the peo- 'ple of Thebes, it is said, and murder- ed all who could not answer it. {Oedipus finally solved it, and in cha- lerin the sphinx put herself to death. 1 [Fhe riddle was as follows: "What goes on four feet in the morning, two foot in the afternoon and three at might?"' The answer given by Oedipus was this: "Man, because he crawls as b child, walks upright in his full {strength and walks with a staff when a old man.' .

The alarm clock, appare ntly 0 in- . dispensable to the early tising popu. lation of Canada, is seldom used by the workers in. the textile mills, fron foundries and other industries of north of England (men eépd worhen have to arise in time to start work at 6 o'clock each morning). ing only human and liable to a fine of an hour's pay if only a few late, of whom make their that means. These men, of whom there are several in each city or tows the numler depending on the Size of the community, are known as "knock- ers up. And th- more of an institution in the north of England than is the alarm clock | among 'ha early risers of Amcrica. To arouse his gleeping "client" "knocker up" uses a of strong wires. Armed vith this, the "knocker up' 'makes his * nd" the early morning hours, rattling on the windows of his clientele with the wires, which make a tremendous din in the sleeper's room, andy what «is more effective than the alarm clock. Pr» keeps rattling until the occupant climbs out of bed and signifies his * wakefulness Ly rapping on th: win: dow. The 'knocker up" much harder job in Canada than he has in England, for there he is fav. ored by purely local conditions. In th. first place, the houses in th» ¥n. dustrial sections are closely. packed Igetiier in long rows, like the build. ngs in the business section of Cana- a cities, and are very seldom mors than two stories high. Thus the "kaocker up" is able ti quickly arouse an entire street of workers, the rattle and roar of his stick bringing the men and women promptly from their beds. Ard his work is expedited by the fact tha' many of the sleepers hear him while he is a dozen houses away and are out of bed and rapping on their windows in reply by the time he reaches them, -------- From Jest to Earnest.. The great Lord Chancellor Westbury occasionally let his tongue stray into sarcasm, and once, in summing up in a clear. case of burg! ary, he delivered a rather neat, but disastrous, little ironic speech. "You will have observed, gentle« men," he said sarcastically to the jury, "that in progeeding about this enterprise the pRSoner displayed re- markable Son for the in. mates of the house. I think it only fair to. point out that rather than dis- turb the owner, an invalid lady, he removed his boots and went about in his stockings, notwithstanding the in- clemency of the weather. 'Further, in. stead of rushing with heedless rapac: ity into the pantry, he carefully re. moved the coalscuttle and any other obstacles which, bad he thoughtlessly collided with them, would have cre- ated a noise that must have aroused the jaded servants from their well- earned repose.' He went on in this strain for some ! little time, and then dismissed the Jury to consider their verdict, and was orror-struck when, on their return into court; they announced that, "tak- ing into consideration his lordship's words of commendation, they had de- cided on, a verdict of 'Not Guilty'. ---------- Unwilling Police. Civilian policemen were the only ones possessed by Glasgow at one time. In the eighteenth century, ac- cording to H. G. Graham, 'the whole safety and order of Glasgow were in- trusted to the unpaid and reluctant burghers. Every citirzen who was be- tween the years of eighteen and sixty and paid a yearly rent amounting to $15 had to take his turn at guarding the city. On touch of drum the gen- tieman was at his post by 10 at night | and strolled with weary tread and yawning gait along the Trongate and | High street and up the pitch dark lanes of winter nights till 4 in the morning. After that hour the city was without a police."~London Chronicle. What They Mean:. Mr. Singer told the following story recently at Mansion House, London. He was one day giving a lesson to his school children at Goole. He had been talking to them about cnlors and had explained that shite denoted good- ness and black sin. Wishing to drive his lesson further home, Mr. Sinker, according to The Church Family "Now children, have yeu ever noticed the cclors of my hood I wear in, church on Sundays?" "Yes, sir, black and white." 'Quite right, and what do those colors sig- nify?" After a short pause one small child answerdy, 'Please, sir, you wear black because you are a sinner and white because you are trying to be, good!" Tablet to George Borrow.
