Giants and know nothing about cricket. fillâ€"stun N am ' .- ’ Game Described as “Pandemonium” in English Press â€"â€" Two runs in an hour is too slow for the Englishmen, who want to e a hundred made .in cricket in that time, says the \London icorresporrdent The accounts lied rounders,” read as if it is that of some newly-discovered tribe in Central Africa, which is never .playal. in a civilized country; but it must be pointed out that some members of the White Sox admit they Much admiration was expressed --over the catching and throwing of the 'ball players, who gave [an exhibition thereof which no English cricket team ever approached. One writer sug- gests, however, that in a short music hall turn, this kind of prowess would 'win delighted applause, but he adds 'that it becomes mechanical by its very perfection. ‘ Umpire Klem's coolness and ’in- difference to danger in his position was especially commended. “Only twice did he flinch," says one paper, "and that was when called upon to face the King and announce the score." The Daily Nlews' descriptive writer said, “For about two hours a foreign sort of pandemonium whirled in the arenaWonderful deeds were no doubt "accomplished when the world-famous White Sex of Chicago and the univer- , sally acclaimed Giants of New York 7‘ met to fight out the best of nine games mat the American national pastime, but, they were all Greek to the crowd. After the show baseball still remains, and will remain, exclusively and pe« culiarly a transatlantic dish, such as ..~clams, crackers and canvasback." dlLD TiRiE PUNESHMENTS. "Roosters and Donkeys Were Tried in Court Among the weird and horrible punishments inflicted in Quebec under . both the French and English regimes were burning of women at the stake _ for petty treason, burning of the hand, branding on the "forehead, and break- ing on the wheel. No record is found in Canada, however, of such punish- ,ments as the “drunkard's cloak," a barrel With aperturesfor’the head and hands, and the bridle and ducking pool for common scolds, a device the resur- rection of which has been suggested bysom‘e critics of the militant suffra- __ gettes. In old houses in Britain there .are still to be seen hooks by the fire- place to which a scolding wife was fastened after being bridled, the jailer performing this service at the request of the exasperated husband. A feature of middle age jurisprud- ence, which was retained in France until the middle of the 18th century,’ was the indictment of domestic ani- .mais,‘~.principaily oxen or swine, for injuries inbicted on human beings. A rooster was tried and executed for laying an egg, the prosecution prov- ing that it was due to witchcraft, and the defence unavailingly claiming that a rooster’s egg was a cure for certain diseases. The trial of a donkey in an English court in the reign Of George III. was indicated by an old print and a humorous ballad of the period, The jougs of iron collar was used as a punishment for disregarding parental authority or non-attendance at church. In France it was called the carcan, and one was formerly'at» tached to a post at the door of the Basilica at Quebec. The pillory was used in England for at least 700 years, and in 1769 a prisoner stood in the ‘ pillory at Montreal for three days. In 1765 two men and a woman were - vwhipped through the streets of Men- areal, 39 lashes being given each, the {last at the spot where Nelson’s monu- snent now stands. - -\~â€"-~â€"~.~â€"- .. u, - .... 5 Modern Drama Decadent ' Preaching at St. Paulie Cathedral, Canon Alexander deplored the de~ .cadence of the moderndrama and of public taste. "I suppose," he said, "no thoughtful person can regard with satisfaction the wave of morbid sen- sationalism which “has crept over the [national consciousness, creating an '1 rt, if we call it so, which is full of the vulgarity from which all true art is always and inevitably free, and which moves in a wholly different world from that which gave us the phrases and situations of “Measure 10: Measure," “Othello,” or- "Romeo and halal." ‘ . dam...- ._ . ,- ‘THE w.qu mans National Movement Io Wanted to Stamp It Out Pathetically intermittent efforts to check the spread of the White Plague continue to be made. But these efforts fail to accomplish any decisive or lasting yictory over the foe because there is no persistency or consistency about them. ' ,_ Statisticians calculate that one house in every five, contain a case of the disease. V That is an awful visitation of a "deadly Plague. No 'other ill that flesh is heir to imperils Md terrorizes and kills our people to anything like a similar extent. And, for every case struck down with the dread disease, a little group of rela- tives and even friends are exposed to the contagion. Probably there is not a living hu- man being in Canada who has not felt the swish of this terrible sword very near to his own head. We all have near relatives or dear friends lying in the pale embrace of the spectre. A spasmodic effort to alleviate these awful conditions is made now and then. A benevolent man opens a Sanatorium that takes care of one-half of one per cent. of the stricken ones; and the rest of the world practically shut their eyes to the fact that the Whole treat- ment of Tuberculoais thus far in our country is a mockery and a sham. What is wanted is a national eâ€" lence movement against this deadliest of our domestic enemies; Private philanthropy is as helpless before it as private and unorganized “sharp- shooting" would be to wage a defen- dve war against a powerful invader. â€"-Montreal Star. Judicial Nicknames One of the many proofs of Mr. Jus- tice Bucknill’s popularity at the Eng~ lish Bar has been the familiar use of his Christian name. The Bar, which has always spoken of Lord Alverstone as “Dick Webster,” and of Lord Lereburn as “Bob Reid,” has been accustomed to speak of the present Lord Chief Justice as "Rufus," and of Mr. Justice Bucknul as "Tom. my.” " SEW TELEPRUNE ERERTRV The Bell Telephone Company of Canâ€" ads is soon to printa new issue of its Oilicial Telephone Directory for the district including FENELON FALLS Parties who comtemplate becoming Subscribers, or those who Wish changes in their present entry should place their orders with the local manager at once to insure insertion in this issue Connecting Companies Should also report additions and changes in their list of subscribers, either to the local manager, or direct to the Advertising and Directory Depart- ment, Montreal, THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CAMERA A .~-s~ - n:, BRITISH AMERICAN BUSEHESS COLLEGE ‘ E Yonge & McGili Sis., Toronto,0nt., is the pioneer high grade Business School of Canada.

Connaught and the Duchess of Fife. - The story of how Sir Alfred came into touch with the Royal Famtly is interesting. It is said that Kins George9s brother. the late Duke of filamnce.;,1iad, dislocated his ankle while (mama-ed at vol-k with his regiment. The Duke‘s soldier servant ran round to six of the town doctors on ithe morning of the accident, and all were out. But- the seventh, the unknwn Mr. Fripp, was in, and he went post-haste to the Duke’s “digs' to attend him.” King Edward, then Prince of Wales, visited his son dur- ing his enforced laying up, and found the young surgeon in constant attem dance. “I like that fellow Fripp," the Prince said in an undertone one morning to his equerry. Aloud he said, “What hospital do you belong to, Fripp'!" “Guy’s, your Royal Highness," Was the answer. . "I shall see that you get on, Fripp," . said the Prince. And he did. . u A CARD."
