FORGERY A CAPITAL OFFENSF

amend the small, mild am! easy pun
ishment" then in force. Ity this net J
any person found guilty of forgery
was sentenee«J to pay double costs nnd
damages. was to lie set in the pillory
In some op n market town, and there
publicly to have both ears cut off, his
nostrils silt and cut. and scared with
a lint iron. No as they remain for a
perpetual mark of his falsehood." the
unhappy forger to finally lose all his
possessions ami be Imprisoned for
life.
In according to Edward H.
Smith, in the Saturday Evening Post,
forcery was made a "capital offense
without benefit of clergy." which meant
I that a in :n mlcht not escape t'.ie gib

Street Nemenc'ature.
The practice of sMng numbers and
letters in«?end of rallies to the streets
and nve>:ue« of our cities Is so familiar
to n«' that It excites -10 thought, ex
cept of Its convenience. Hut it is a
practice often remarked upon by for
eigners ns peculiar to the I'nited
States and as evidence of the matter
of fact, unimaginative character of our
people.
Historical dntes have been called
picturesque names for streets.' The
French set the fashion In this respect.
Paris has Its P.ne till 20 .Tnlllot nnd Its
Rue du Reptcmbre. This fail bas
