BURNING THE DEAD.
A Custom .That Can B* Tracsd Back
to ths Earliest Agts
Cremation has been practiced by
most of the nations of the earth frutu
•he earliest ages, and, although In pa
gan comitriea It may have taken the
form of the worshiping, there cuu he
uo doubt that Its adoption by the an
' louts whs for tlie most part prompt
ed bv other tbau religions reasons.
<ireeks ascrltic its Introduction to Her
cules. who, ituving sworn to transmit
the body of Argus to bis father,
thought tills the most convenient way
of fulfilling Ids promise. According to
Homer, the burning of the dead was n
common practice among the Creeks
long before the Trojan war. hut tlie
earliest record of It Is among tlie
Scythians, who inhabited tlie vast re
gion known under tlie name of Tar
tary. Slender accounts handed down
concerning the manners of some of the
ancient natives of Hindustan also a I*
lude to the custom. The idea of puri
fication by fire was In all ages univer
sal, and with good reason. Some be
lieved that tlie body Wna unclean after
the departure of the soul, and It was
therefore doomed necessary that It
should l*o purified by fire. Ovid ex
pressed the general opinion of Ills time
when he said that the soul was not
completely separated from the body
until the latter wna consumed on the
pyre. The Athenians Invariably after
« battle burned the ala In.
WHIPPED BY MACHINERY.
Automatic Floggar® Utod by 8®v®ral
European Armies.
Automatic flogging machines are In
use among the military force* of sev
eral European untlona. For many
years the whipping was always done
hy soldiers under the cotnniaud of an
officer, aud the punishment varied, ac
cording to tho personal relations sub
sisting between the aoldlcr nnU his vie
tiin. U whs to correct this disadvan
tage that the flogging maehluo was in
vented.
The machhie la automatic in action,
and an soon ns the culprit Is fastened
In position a spring Is tightened or
loosened to gauge tho exact force of
the blow. A pointer is moved over a
dial to tho requisite number of strokes
and the mechunlain Is started.
With perfect regularity tho victim's
back Is scourged by the throngs, tho
handle of tho whip being moved by a
screw device after each stroke so that
the lash does not fall on the same spot
throughout the punishment.
Each Mow Is of uniform severity,
aud as soon aw tlie required number
hun been given tho machine comes to
a rest, and the offender Is released,
with tho nssurance that the exact pun
ishment ordered hss l>een meted out.

The Lavt of th® Ruff®.
In 1702 tho rage for ruffs, such ns are
seen on many monumental efllglos, be
gan to decline. A writer In the Lou
don Chronicle of thut year says of gen
tlemen’s dress, "Their cuffs entirely
cover their wrists, and only tho edges
of their rutiles ace to Is* seen.” It Is
said that u distaste for ruffs wns llrst
created so far back as 1013, when a
woman named Turner wore them on
her trial for the murder by poison of
Sir Thomas Overbury. The French
revolution of 17KP much Influenced
ItrlttsFi fashion, and tho picturesque
cocked hat and rutiles then gave way
generally to round hats and sinnll
cuffs. The period of their Unal disuse
eaurutt be easily determined, as men
of old fashioned or eccentric haFdts
have worn ruffled shirt fronts within
quite recent memory similar to fhoso
which, according to I’lanche’s "His
tory of Rrltlsh Costume," originated
In tho seventeenth century.
Th® Conductor'® Baton.
According to th® Investigations of n
frenchman, tho credit of inventing the
conductor’s baton belongs to Lully, tho
composer, who eventually had cause to
regret his Invention. Before he adopt
ed th® baton conductors were In the
hwfllt of pounding on the floor with
their feet r»r chipping their hand® to
mark the time. Lully found It weari
some to keep his foot constantly In mo
tion and so used n atick to strike the
floor and beat time, lie used a pole
six feet long Ono dMy be brought
down the pole with such fore® that It
®truek his foot nod mad® n deep
wound, lie paid no attention to the
mutter. Tho wound grew worse and
ultimately caused his death After
hi* time eonduetora trlnd more and
more to Improve the baton, and It was
ultimately brought to Its present form.
