CAPT. KIDD'S HOUR Tfco nouca Occupied ' by 'th3 Bold Pirate Still Standing-. Said to nTe Been ; Built Years - Before 'v. TTasMnfftoii Was Made First Presi-- , ' dent Still Hunting for : V :. Burled Treasure. 7 Between the quaint little hamlet of Allenwood, N. - J., and the village of Sea Girt, made famous through the an nual - encampment of the New J ersey state militia, stands an old-fashioned " shingle house, which antedates the recollection of even the oldest resident, and has become the show place of the country. Not only, does the great age . of the old house make it interesting to visitors, but ' also ' the story that the body of the late lamented Capt. Kidd, , whose treasure is buried somewhere along the coast and has been searched for from Florida to Maine lies uneasy 7 in its grave, and makes periodical vis its to the house once occupied by that ' -wealthy but somewhat erratic gentle--man;' " '" - ' . .N - . : -, The house is a two-story structure, conspicuous chiefly for . the fact that instead of having only a . shingle roof, as was customary, in the days when i the r house was built, it is conscrucieu tubugetucr yi oui-ugjto, and presents the appearance of having been built with the idea to repel an at tack should any such emergency occur.

Barbarous Treatment, of Malefactors . the'Colonlal Period., i- In The constitution of the United States and those of thevarious states in prohib v itin cruel and unusual punishments were not fighting an absurdity.- The use of torture in legaf processes .was not, when these instruments were framed, so remote as it is now.' When Sir Thomas Dole came as high marshal to Virginia ne'crusnea a con- spiracy hy killing the ringleaders by - torture. -( 1 1 .

The next nota ble instance of Njthe use 6i torture was ' in 1692, in the Salem witchcraft ex citement, when Giles Cory was pressed to death the "peine dure et forte" the most horrible of deaths. A far - worse instance was the burning of the negroes at the stake in New York, 1741, as already described in these columns. Throughout the early coldnial period the use of the stocks, "cage" and pillo V ry was common, but these were torture only to the sensitive spirit. A" similar device is the,cangue,or plank necklace, four feet square, which Chinese prison , ers still carry. ' Executions were in public through out the east until comparatively recent times.". When Quelch, the pirate, and six others were hanged m Boston Sew all wrote in his diary: "When the scaf fold was let to sink there was such a screech of the women that my wife . , heard it, sitting in our entry next to the orcnara," tnougn tne gallows was a mile away and the wind unfavorable.

"Just fancy I heard a Boston teacher the other day say 'programme.' ". The two teachers opened their eyes, wondering why peo ple shouldn't say "programme." They hardly dared to ask, but the lady en lightened them.' "When anyone who bad been to school at all," she added, "should know that : it should be pro nounced 'program !'"
