A writer In Cassell’s Family Magazine gives’an Illustration: He was going home late one night In t Constantinople when a man ran by him, pursued by foifr zaptlebt. Direct­ ly they caught the man they belabored him vigorously with the butt ends of their guns. The Englishman Inter­ fered. "If he Is a thief, why not take Mm to prison and let him he tried properly7 Don’t half kill the man without a trial," r*0 effendi," said the spokesman of the party, "we don’t mind hts being a thief.

St. Valentine, presbyter and martyr, unlike many saints who axo specially remembered, did nothing which conld have suggested the manner in which his day is celebrated. I t wa* his for­ tune to suffer martyrdom (he was beaten wlth-a club and then beheaded) a t a time when the heathens of south­ ern Europe were accustomed to observe tho return of spring. Tho quick eyes of those dependent upon sunlight for warmth learned to note and welcome every indication of th e ,approaching season. They watched the birds, and when they saw them mating and mak­ ing love they were minded to do the same, and sO strong was the b bit that, as with Christmas day, the good fathers did not attempt to root out the custom, hut to connect ft With some holy name, and Bti valentine's day of martyrdom fitted very nearly to that time. ’ i C A S T O R !

As late as 1822 three teen thus varnished could have been seen hang­ ing before Dover castle. Sometimes the process was extended to robbers, assassins, Incendiaries and other crimi­ nals. John Fainter, who fired the dock­ yard At Portsmouth, was first hanged and then tarred In 1776.
