THE STAR CHAMBER CONDENSED HISTORY OF A FAMOUS At Firs Laudable, put tSiufljtly:-fbiBaa Cracl and I njut Power Some of III Onl-j-rngtoau VrniaMe. I defeated Kicburd III. at Bos wort li and hU been, crowued s Henry VII., he fotiuil the' tlnios in so troubled a State that mim whose rights were in fringed upoa'or denied tlii'iu dared not fur. justice to the ordinary courts. The unblushing manner in which brills tuj tyrants wy? resorted to j tapiq tnt iKl) inflijeuj.-e over tb4 pro ceedings ot these courts denied to them the security of a juror's oath. To reaeb a niw.hlef . that had row a so Intolerable .Heury, feeling himself strong enough with his second parlia ment, created a court made up of tbu hlgb,et officers of tb tngiiom. embracing, theoretlcftlly, the king him self, who was considered the author of all Justice, to which were confided unlimited jver uud discretion over a large, undefined class of offenses, many of which were of a political character, without the restraint of a Jury and subject to no revision by appeal. Tills was afterward kuown as the court of the star chamber, so called because the ceillUK of the room In which it iiM't was studded with stars or because In this apartment prior to .the time of Edward 1. the contracts of the Jews, called Starrs, wre de posited In boxes or chests. Tills scheme had ood results at first Wealthy landowners who had op pressed their neighbors with inpunity were brought lefore this court, where j neither fear nor favor could avail, and tried for their offenses. The greatest merit of tlie court was that It was not dependent on a jury, for Juries were unable or unwilling to render a verdict in keeping with their consciences. One said. "A court thus constituted, with powers so broad and a discretion unllmitd by prescribed rules, though called into existence for wise and salu tary purposes, was In the eud like in voking the spirit of mischief without a corresponding power in 'reserve to lay It or check its excesses if Inclined to abuse its authority." Instead of losing power as the neces sity for its existence passed away it drew to itself new elements of strength uud enlarged the extent of its jurisdic tion. It twK-ame, after successive ad uiinistrntious under the Lands of am bitions leaders such as flourished in the time of Henry VIII., Elizabeth and the two Stuarts, a most potent engine of despotic rule and intolerance. Tor ture, intimidation and -,ther devices were used to coinvti'l the accused to In criminate himself. - Charles I., through the star chamber, filled his coffers. luriug bis reign such enormous lines were imposed for triv ial offcuses that the audience gathered about the courtroom at 3 o'clock la the morning to secure seats to hear the proceedings. The discretionary ower of the court in the way of punishment wade it u means of cruel injustice in tliu hands of bad men. Instances of which disgTace the history of its ad ministration during the reigns of James I. and Charles I. One nf the most remarkable cases was that of Kishop Williams, who had been lord keeper of the seal, a iiorrular prelate and a man of learning und spirit und at one time a special favor ite of Jams. While eujoyh;g bis pat mnajre lie exerted liU lnilueuce in be half of IjiiiiI, afterward archbishop, who owed his tirst promotion to his ool uilices. S'juie disagreement urose liptwec-n them. Nothing would satisfy Laud but the ruin of the man who had befriended him. On mmie slight pretext the bishop was brought iK'fore the star charuber and lined 10.000, committed to the Tower during the king's pleasure and suspended from office. His furniture and lx.i.ks were levied upon to pay the line. Among some refuse papers wore found sum- letters from Ohaldistoa, a schoolmaster, directed to the bishop. In these letters the writer spoke of a "little treat man" ami in one place of a "little urchin." As Laud was small of stature. It was conjectured that these terms referred to him. They were b.th tried, one f..r receiving such scaini.tlous letters and tie uther for writlns thorn. Williams paid a fine of Skki and Otxiklistfiu 3.Hf, and he J:ad I lis ears nailed to the pillorj. rryiinc, a barrister at law, of Lin coln's Inn. ;i Puritan of the strictest sect, published his famous "Illstrlo Mastlx," a huge volume of 1,000 quarto pages; alined at stage plays, music dancing, pnMic festivals, Christmas sport, uonlmn and umypoles, For this allegtsd libe! mis volume ho wag arraign d bef ore tli star chamber., . . , Mr. I'ryune, iu hla general pweep for lis historical Illustration 1 of the nils chief of friwfnenting plays, .referred to Nero and ppohe'of l'lavlus and others who rotrspirad 'Against him for his bad xamik- upon the: magistrates and the people.

Kecipe tor Whitewash. Prof. A. M. Soule in Southern Farm Magazine of Baltimore for September says: The following is one of the best recipes for whitewash with which we are familiar: half a bushel of unslaked lime; slake with warm wa ter; cover it during the process to keep the steam: strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer; add i neck of salt previously well dis solved in warm water; three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste and stir in boiling hot; half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting and a pound ot glue, which can be previ ously dissolved over a slow fire, and dd five gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir well and let it stand for a few days, covered np from the! dirt. It should be put on hot. Une pint of the mixture will cover a souare vard oroDerly aDt)lied. Small brushes arc best. There is nothing ! that can compaie with it for inside! or outside worK, ana it retains ics brilliancy for many years. No one would buy a sailboat with sails that could not be reefed. There is always that possibility of a little too much wind that makes a cau tious man afraid to go unprovided. The thinking man, whose stomach sometimes goes back on him, pro vides for his stomach by keeping a bo'.tle of Kodol For Dyspepsia with in reach.

In the mad, pell mell rush of our life little things are done to offend that we rather remained undone. A hastily eaten meal aud its resultant headache may cause us social or financial loss. The wise mau or woman is the one who relieves little ills of this sort by a little dose of Kodol For Dys pepsia. It digests what you eat' and puts your stomach back into shape.
