106 the walls skirted with alabaster, above which they were painted. The most remarkable of the representations on the floors was in the hall next the entrance porch; it showed a cross in mosaic, with a monstrous bust of Neptune at the intersection of the arms, surrounded by fish and lobsters.

When the villa was almost wholly excavated, the municipality of Pau purchased the field, and built a shed over the foundations, but, penny wise and pound foolish, neglected to cut a drain around the remains. The consequence was that each room became full of water in the winter, and, frost ensuing, split up the mosaics. When I revisited Pau two years later most of the pavements were ruined. Now, shed and every trace of the villa are gone; the whole is ploughed over, and the only token that there was anything of interest in the field is a notice-board set up to forbid trespassers invading it. On the farther side of the stream is another villa, which I began to dig out, but found the pavements nearer the surface and not so well preserved. Moreover, the proprietor got it into his head that I had discovered and appropriated a pot of gold coins, and he peremptorily forbade further research.

The bridge over the river, some quarter of a mile down, is called le Pont d'Auly (pons aulœ), and on the height of Guindalos above are the earthworks of a Roman camp.

Pau has produced several eminent men. Hardly had Henri Quatre closed his eyes before the town gave birth to Gassion, born in 1609. His father purposed making of him a lawyer; but, as a lad of sixteen, rather than be chained to a desk, he started barefoot from Pau, with his shoes slung to a stick over his back, and with twenty sous in his pocket. He entered the army, and his life was spent in warfare, beyond the Alps, on the Elbe, on the shores of the Baltic. He was

Rh wounded seventeen times, and fell on the field of battle at the age of thirty-six, a marshal of France and the greatest captain of his age. More fortunate than he was Bernadotte, also a soldier risen from the ranks, who became King of Sweden and Norway. He was born in the little house, No. 6 Rue de Trau, and was the son of a needy scrivener. His name in full was John Baptist Julius Bernadotte, and he was born on 26 January, 1764. He became a drummer-boy in the marines at the age of seventeen.

He came to the front at an opportune time. The Revolution had turned France topsy-turvy. The officers had fled the country to escape the guillotine, and the corporals and serjeants stepped into their places. The regiments elected their captains, and the history of the Republican wars shows that the soldiers exercised their electoral rights with discretion. In 1792 Bernadotte was a colonel.

The Directory appointed him ambassador at Vienna. The choice was not happy; he had not the breeding of a gentleman, and behaved with insolence in the most punctilious of courts. On the day upon which the volunteers were enrolled for the defence of their country, Bernadotte ostentatiously hoisted the tricolour, which the mob tore down. The ambassador in vain demanded satisfaction. He quitted Vienna, but the Directory disavowed him. Soon after his return to France he married Eugènie, the daughter of the soap-boiler. Clary, of Marseilles, and sister of the wife of Joseph Bonaparte. He lived for a while in retirement, but was summoned by the Government to Paris and was given the command of the army of observation in Germany. After the revolution of the 30th Prairial, in the year VII (18 June, 1799), Bernadotte was appointed Minister of War;

108 but the astute Siéyès was meditating a coup d'état, and mistrusting Bernadotte, deprived him of his portfolio. He accepted the title of Councillor of State from the First Consul, and the command of the army of the West. In 1804 Napoleon raised him to the dignity of Marshal of the Empire, and gave him the command of the army in Hanover. In June, 1806, he created him Prince of Pontecorvo, and employed him in the war that broke out with Prussia. It is unnecessary here to follow his career in the wars of Napoleon. The Emperor never liked him, and even thought of depriving him of the title he had conferred upon him. He dispatched him in disgrace to Rome; but before he reached it a deputation from Sweden arrived (September, 1810) with the tidings that King Charles XII had named him Crown Prince, and that the Estates of Sweden had unanimously ratified the appointment, with the condition that he should resign his French citizenship and adopt the Lutheran religion. To this he consented, and landed at Helsingborg on 20 October, 1810, and on 5 November was recognized as Crown Prince, and adopted the name of Charles John. By arrangement with Russia Norway was detached from Denmark and annexed to Sweden, much to the dislike of the Norwegians.

In 1813 Sweden declared war against France, and Bernadotte led 20,000 Swedes to join the allies; but his dilatoriness caused him to be too late to take part in the Battle of the Nations at Liepzig. He was naturally reluctant to cross swords with his old master. In 1814 he marched in the same leisurely manner into France, and arrived in Paris after it had been occupied by the allies. On 5 February, 1818, he succeeded his adoptive father, and was crowned King of Sweden and Norway at both

PEQUOT, an Algonquian tribe of North-American Indians, a branch of the Mohicans. They occupied the coast of Connecticut from Niantic river to the Rhode Island boundary. Together with their kinsmen, the Mohegans, they formed a powerful and warlike people, bitterly hostile to the early settlers. In 1637 the Pequots were surprised by the whites at their fort on the Mystic river, and suffered so completely a defeat that the tribe was broken up, and its remnants took refugee with neighbouring tribes. The Pequot country passed under the control of the Mohegans. At the height of their power the Pequots numbered, it is estimated, some 3000.

Rh Stockholm and Drontheim. He was succeeded by his only son, Oscar, in 1844. It is a curious fact that both the two kings born at Pau abjured their religions to obtain a crown. Henry IV abandoned Calvinism to become a Catholic and receive the crown of France; John Baptist Julius Bernadotte threw overboard such Catholicism as he had—a light cargo—and accepted Protestantism to obtain the crown of Sweden and Norway.

Morlaas, six miles to the north-east of Pau, reached by a light railway, was the ancient capital of Béarn. It has dwindled to a poor village, but retains portions of its old fortifications and an interesting church, founded in 1089, that has a Romanesque crypt and west front. The church had fallen into decay and the portal was much mutilated, but it has been restored. A side chapel contains one of the very few specimens of church furniture spared by the Huguenots, because overlooked—an altar-piece of the sixteenth century. The Pont-long I have already mentioned, an elevated moor to the north of Pau, beyond the racecourse, that belongs to the peasantry of the Val d'Ossau. On it may be seen the shepherds pasturing their flocks in winter, when the mountain herbage is buried under snow. These men formerly wore their characteristic costume—a dark blue or brown beret, like a tam-o'-shanter cap, a jacket of brown or scarlet, a waistcoat of white wool, brown knee-breeches, and a bright-coloured sash about the waist. They wore their hair long in curls flowing over their shoulders. Now compulsory military service has deprived them of their flowing locks, and the blouse is gradually displacing the handsome traditional costume.

110 These men spend their time in knitting stockings whilst watching their flocks. The sheep are horned, and have pronounced Roman noses. A curious usage is for the dog to precede the sheep instead of driving them. There are numerous tumuli on the Pont-long. I opened two in 1847, and found that they pertained to the Iron Age, and were undoubtedly Gaulish. The floor was formed of rolled stones, and on this were placed urns, some of great size, containing burnt bones; they were red outside, black within, and the clay was coarse; but with them was one beautifully moulded little black vessel of the finest paste. Beside two of the cinerary urns were hones of grit, rounded on one side and flat on the other, with a groove running down the middle. The peasants had a legend anent the larger of the two that I opened. Three men resolved on digging into it, and chose for the purpose a stormy day when no one was likely to be abroad and observe them. They had not dug far before Pierre observed, "But we shall surely find plenty of sous." "Des écus," said Jacques.

"Des napoléons," suggested Baptiste. After some hours' work they came on a flat slab, on raising which a treasure of gold pieces was revealed. The men plunged their arms in and could not reach the bottom of the store. Gold, gold, ever more gold.

It was decided that a cart must be procured to remove the treasure, and lots were cast as to who was to remain on the tumulus, whilst the other two returned to Pau for a cart. The lot fell on Pierre, and the others departed. Evening had settled down when they returned with a vehicle drawn by two oxen. Jacques and Baptiste discerned

Letter to Menoeceus

Epicurus to Menoeceus, greeting.

Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search thereof when he is grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul. And to say that the season for studying philosophy has not yet come, or that it is past and gone, is like saying that the season for happiness is not yet or that it is now no more. Therefore, both old and young ought to seek wisdom, the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come. So we must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed toward attaining it.

Those things which without ceasing I have declared unto thee, those do, and exercise thyself therein, holding them to be the elements of right life. First believe that God is a living being immortal and blessed, according to the notion of a god indicated by the common sense of mankind; and so believing, thou shalt not affirm of him aught that is foreign to his immortality or that agrees not with blessedness, but shalt believe about him whatever may uphold both his blessedness and his immortality. For verily there are gods, and the knowledge of them is manifest; but they are not such as the multitude believe, seeing that men do not steadfastly maintain the notions they form respecting them. Not the man who denies the gods worshipped by the multitude, but he who affirms of the gods what the multitude believes about them is truly impious. For the utterances of the multitude about the gods are not true preconceptions but false assumptions; hence it is that the greatest evils happen to the wicked and the greatest blessings happen to the good from the hand of the gods, seeing that they are always favourable to their own good qualities and take pleasure in men like unto themselves, but reject as alien whatever is not of their kind.

Accustom thyself to believe that death is nothing to us, for good and evil imply sentience, and death is the privation of all sentience; therefore a right understanding that death is nothing to us makes the mortality of life enjoyable, not by adding to life an illimitable time, but by taking away the yearning after immortality. For life has no terrors for him who has thoroughly apprehended that there are no terrors for him in ceasing to live. Foolish, therefore, is the man who says that he fears death, not because it will pain when it comes, but because it pains in the prospect. Whatsoever causes no annoyance when it is present, causes only a groundless pain in the expectation. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not. It is nothing, then, either to the living or to the dead, for with the living it is not and the dead exist no longer. But in the world, at one time men shun death as the greatest of all evils, and at another time choose it as a respite from the evils in life. The wise man does not deprecate life nor does he fear the cessation of life. The thought of life is no offence to him, nor is the cessation of life regarded as an evil. And even as men choose of food not merely and simply the larger portion, but the more pleasant, so the wise seek to enjoy the time which is most pleasant and not merely that which is longest. And he who admonishes the young to live well and the old to make a good end speaks foolishly, not merely because of the desirableness of life, but because the same exercise at once teaches to live well and to die well. Much worse is he who says that it were good not to be born, but when once one is born to pass with all speed through the gates of Hades. For if he truly believes this, why does he not depart from life? It were easy for him to do so, if once he were firmly convinced. If he speaks only in mockery, his words are foolishness, for those who hear believe him not.

We must remember that the future is neither wholly ours nor wholly not ours, so that neither must we count upon it as quite certain to come nor despair of it as quite certain not to come.

We must also reflect that of desires some are natural, others are groundless; and that of the natural some are necessary as well as natural, and some natural only. And of the necessary desires some are necessary if we are to be happy, some if the body is to be rid of uneasiness, some if we are even to live. He who has a clear and certain understanding of these things will direct every preference and aversion toward securing health of body and tranquillity of mind, seeing that this is the sum and end of a blessed life. For the end of all our actions is to be free from pain and fear, and, when once we have attained all this, the tempest of the soul is laid; seeing that the living creature has no need to go in search of something that is lacking, nor to look for anything else by which the good of the soul and of the body will be fulfilled. When we are pained because of the absence of pleasure, then, and then only, do we feel the need of pleasure. Wherefore we call pleasure the alpha and omega of a blessed life. Pleasure is our first and kindred good. It is the starting-point of every choice and of every aversion, and to it we come back, inasmuch as we make feeling the rule by which to judge of every good thing. And since pleasure is our first and native good, for that reason we do not choose every pleasure whatsoever, but ofttimes pass over many pleasures when a greater annoyance ensues from them. And ofttimes we consider pains superior to pleasures when submission to the pains for a long time brings us as a consequence a greater pleasure. While therefore all pleasure because it is naturally akin to us is good, not all pleasure is choiceworthy, just as all pain is an evil and yet not all pain is to be shunned. It is, however, by measuring one against another, and by looking at the conveniences and inconveniences, that all these matters must be judged. Sometimes we treat the good as an evil, and the evil, on the contrary, as a good. Again, we regard independence of outward things as a great good, not so as in all cases to use little, but so as to be contented with little if we have not much, being honestly persuaded that they have the sweetest enjoyment of luxury who stand least in need of it, and that whatever is natural is easily procured and only the vain and worthless hard to win. Plain fare gives as much pleasure as a costly diet, when once the pain of want has been removed, while bread and water confer the highest possible pleasure when they are brought to hungry lips. To habituate one's self, therefore, to simple and inexpensive diet supplies all that is needful for health, and enables a man to meet the necessary requirements of life without shrinking, and it places us in a better condition when we approach at intervals a costly fare and renders us fearless of fortune.

When we say, then, that pleasure is the end and aim, we do not mean the pleasures of the prodigal or the pleasures of sensuality, as we are understood to do by some through ignorance, prejudice, or wilful misrepresentation. By pleasure we mean the absence of pain in the body and of trouble in the soul. It is not an unbroken succession of drinking-bouts and of revelry, not sexual love, not the enjoyment of the fish and other delicacies of a luxurious table, which produce a pleasant life; it is sober reasoning, searching out the grounds of every choice and avoidance, and banishing those beliefs through which the greatest tumults take possession of the soul. Of all this the beginning and the greatest good is prudence. Wherefore prudence is a more precious thing even than philosophy; from it spring all the other virtues, for it teaches that we cannot lead a life of pleasure which is not also a life of prudence, honour, and justice; nor lead a life of prudence, honour, and justice, which is not also a life of pleasure. For the virtues have grown into one with a pleasant life, and a pleasant life is inseparable from them.

Who, then, is superior in thy judgement to such a man? He holds a holy belief concerning the gods, and is altogether free from the fear of death. He has diligently considered the end fixed by nature, and understands how easily the limit of good things can be reached and attained, and how either the duration or the intensity of evils is but slight. Destiny, which some introduce as sovereign over all things, he laughs to scorn, affirming rather that some things happen of necessity, others by chance, others through our own agency. For he sees that necessity destroys responsibility and that chance or fortune is inconstant; whereas our own actions are free, and it is to them that praise and blame naturally attach. It were better, indeed, to accept the legends of the gods than to bow beneath that yoke of destiny which the natural philosophers have imposed. The one holds out some faint hope that we may escape if we honour the gods, while the necessity of the naturalists is deaf to all entreaties. Nor does he hold chance to be a god, as the world in general does, for in the acts of a god there is no disorder; nor to be a cause, though an uncertain one, for he believes that no good or evil is dispensed by chance to men so as to make life blessed, though it supplies the starting-point of great good and great evil. He believes that the misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool. It is better, in short, that what is well judged in action should not owe its successful issue to the aid of chance.

Exercise thyself in these and kindred precepts day and night, both by thyself and with him who is like unto thee; then never, either in waking or in dream, wilt thou be disturbed, but wilt live as a god among men. For man loses all semblance of mortality by living in the midst of immortal blessings.

Hardwick v. Bowers (760 F.2d 1202)/Concurrence-dissent Kravitch

Kravitch, Circuit Judge, concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I agree with the majority's conclusion that Hardwick has standing to challenge the constitutionality of the Georgia sodomy statute, but that the Does lack standing. I therefore concur in Part I of the majority opinion.

I must dissent from Part II of the majority opinion, however, because I believe that neither the court below nor this court has the authority to reach and decide the merits of Hardwick's constitutional claims. The United States Supreme Court, in Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney, 425 U.S. 901, 96 S.Ct. 1489, 47 L.Ed.2d 751 (1976), summarily affirmed the judgment of a three-judge district court upholding the constitutionality of a Virginia sodomy statute nearly identical to Georgia's. I find unpersuasive the arguments advanced by the majority for declining to follow Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney. Therefore, I would affirm the district court's dismissal of Hardwick's complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.

I
As the majority acknowledges, a summary affirmance by the Supreme Court has binding precedential effect. Hicks v. Miranda, 422 U.S. 332, 344, 95 S.Ct. 2281, 2289, 45 L.Ed.2d 223 (1975). Nevertheless, the majority holds that Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney is not entitled to precedential weight because the summary affirmance might have been based on lack of standing, rather than on the merits of the constitutional issues involved.

Contrary to the majority's suggestion, we are not free to speculate that the summary affirmance in Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney might have been based on lack of standing. First, the Supreme Court's discussion of summary affirmances in Hicks v. Miranda forecloses such speculation:

As Mr. Justice Brennan once observed, "[v]otes to affirm summarily, and to dismiss for want of a substantial federal question, it hardly needs comment, are votes on the merits of a case...," ''Ohio ex rel. Eaton v. Price'', 360 U.S. 246, 247, 79 S.Ct. 978, 979, 3 L.Ed.2d 1200 (1959) ....

Id. at 344, 95 S.Ct. at 2289 (emphasis added); see also 12 J. Moore, H. Bendix & B. Ringle, Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 400.051, at 4-25 (2d ed. 1982) ("[S]ummary affirmances of lower federal court judgments...are decisions on the merits, and are binding on lower courts, in spite of the fact that such dispositions are made on the basis of the appellant's jurisdictional statement and the appellee's motion to dismiss or affirm, without oral argument or full briefs on the merits." (emphasis added)); C. Wright, Law of Federal Courts 757-58 (4th ed. 1983) ("Summary disposition of an appeal, however, either by affirmance or by dismissal for want of a substantial federal question, is a disposition on the merits." (emphasis added; footnote omitted)).

Second, the jurisdictional statement in Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney mentioned the substantive constitutional issues involved in the case, but did not mention the issue of standing. The Supreme Court has held that the jurisdictional statement limits the range of permissible lower court interpretations of a summary disposition. See McCarthy v. Philadelphia Civil Service Comm'n, 424 U.S. 645, 96 S.Ct. 1154, 47 L.Ed.2d 366 (1976); Colorado Springs Amusements, Ltd. v. Rizzo, 428 U.S. 913, 920 n. 6, 96 S.Ct. 3228, 3232 n. 6, 49 L.Ed.2d 1222 (1976) (Brennan, J., dissenting from denial of certiorari).

Third, and most conclusively, if the Supreme Court had decided that the plaintiffs in Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney lacked standing, the Court would not have had jurisdiction to decide the case. Therefore, the Court would have had to dismiss the appeal, instead of summarily affirming the judgment of the court below. This would be the necessary result whether the lack of standing was the result of Article III case-or-controversy considerations, or of purely prudential concerns. In my view, the majority fails to address adequately this crucial distinction.

I thus disagree with the majority's conclusion that the Supreme Court in Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney might not have reached the merits of the case. Like all summary affirmances, Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney constitutes a decision on the merits, and, in the words of the Supreme Court, "the lower courts are bound by summary decisions `until such time as the Court informs [them] that [they] are not.'" Hicks v. Miranda, 422 U.S. at 345-46, 95 S.Ct. at 2289 (quoting Doe v. Hodgson, 478 F.2d 537, 539 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 414 U.S. 1096, 94 S.Ct. 732, 38 L.Ed.2d 555 (1973)).

II
The majority also holds that, even if Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney had binding precedential effect when it was decided, such effect has been undermined by recent doctrinal developments. In particular, the majority argues that two footnotes in Carey v. Population Services Int'l, 431 U.S. 678, 97 S.Ct. 2010, 52 L.Ed.2d 675 (1977), and the dismissal of the writ of certiorari in New York v. Uplinger, 467 U.S. 246, 104 S.Ct. 2332, 81 L.Ed.2d 201 (1984), indicate that the Supreme Court is now willing to reverse or reconsider Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney. I respectfully disagree.

In footnotes 5 and 17 in Carey, the Supreme Court noted that "the Court has not definitively answered the difficult question whether and to what extent the Constitution prohibits state statutes regulating [private consensual sexual] behavior among adults." Carey, 431 U.S. at 688 n. 5, 97 S.Ct. at 2018 n. 5; id. at 694 n. 17, 97 S.Ct. at 2021 n. 17. I do not read this statement as a retreat from Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney. On its face, the statement simply acknowledges the fact that the Court has not yet passed on the validity of many kinds of state statutes regulating sexual conduct. The statement does not purport to overrule those cases, such as Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney, in which the Court has passed on the validity of other such state statutes.

It is clear from the context in which footnotes 5 and 17 appear in the Carey opinion that the majority's interpretation of those footnotes is erroneous. The plaintiffs in Carey argued that a New York law regulating the sale and distribution of contraceptives violated their right of privacy because the law infringed on their right to engage in "private consensual sexual behavior." The Supreme Court decided the case instead on a more narrow ground, however, and footnotes 5 and 17 constitute the Court's explanation for declining to adopt the plaintiffs' broad right of privacy argument. In effect, the Court was saying, "we have not extended the right of privacy as far as the plaintiffs would like." The Court was not saying, "it is now an open question whether the right of privacy invalidates all state statutes regulating any kind of private sexual conduct."

The dismissal of the writ of certiorari in New York v. Uplinger is an even less compelling reason for refusing to follow Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney. In Uplinger, the Court faced a constitutional challenge not to the New York sodomy statute, but to a statute that prohibited loitering in a public place "for the purpose of engaging, or soliciting another person to engage, in deviate sexual intercourse or other sexual behavior of a deviate nature." N.Y. Penal Law § 240.35-3. The New York Court of Appeals struck down the statute. 58 N.Y.2d 936, 447 N.E.2d 62, 460 N.Y.S.2d 514 (1983). The Supreme Court granted certiorari, 464 U.S. 812, 104 S.Ct. 64, 78 L.Ed.2d 80 (1983), but in a subsequent per curiam opinion dismissed the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted, 467 U.S. 246, 104 S.Ct. 2332, 81 L.Ed.2d 201 (1984).

The majority recognizes that a dismissal of certiorari, like a grant or denial of certiorari, normally has no precedential effect whatsoever. Yet it construes the per curiam opinion accompanying the dismissal of certiorari in Uplinger as a "signal" from the Supreme Court that Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney is no longer good law. This conclusion is based on the statement in the opinion that the case "provides an inappropriate vehicle for resolving the important constitutional issues raised by the parties." Uplinger, 467 U.S. at 249, 104 S.Ct. at 2334. From this single ambiguous statement, the majority infers (1) that the "important constitutional issues" included whether the right of privacy requires invalidation of all state sodomy laws, and (2) that the Supreme Court intended to reverse or reconsider Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney, but decided to wait for another case to do so. These are inferential leaps greater than I am willing or able to make.

Furthermore, even if the majority's inferences are correct, this would not mean that the lower courts are now free to ignore Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney. That the Supreme Court ultimately found Uplinger an "inappropriate vehicle for resolving" whatever constitutional issues the case presented does not imply that those issues previously were unresolved. Nor may this court reconsider the wisdom of Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney simply because the Supreme Court may have indicated a possible willingness to do so. As the Supreme Court recently noted, "Needless to say, only this Court may overrule one of its precedents." Thurston Motor Lines, Inc. v. Jordan K. Rand, Ltd., 460 U.S. 533, 103 S.Ct. 1343, 75 L.Ed.2d 260 (1983); see also Jaffree v. Wallace, 705 F.2d 1526, 1532-33 (11th Cir.1983), appeal filed on other grounds, 52 U.S.L.W. 3441 (U.S. Nov. 14, 1983) (No. 83-812), 52 U.S.L.W. 3473 (U.S. Dec. 3, 1983) (No. 83-929), probable jurisdiction noted, 466 U.S. 924, 104 S.Ct. 1704, 80 L.Ed.2d 178 (1984).

III
Whatever our personal views about the constitutionality of a law that permits the state to regulate the most private of human behavior within the confines of the home, unless and until the Supreme Court clearly indicates otherwise, we are bound by that Court's decision in Doe v. Commonwealth's Attorney. Respectfully, therefore, I dissent.

 attacking side has succeeded in passing the defence and is coming in (unsupported) towards the goal, then the goaler, judging the time well, may skate out to meet him, being careful that he is directly in line between the shooter and goal. This sudden movement surprises the man and he is liable to shoot the puck inaccurately or against the goaler’s body.

"In stopping the puck, the feet, limbs, body and hands are all used according to the nature of the shot. The stick is used to clear the puck from the goals after stop has been made, but rarely to make the stop.

"Some goalers use the hands much more frequently than others and make splendid stops in this way. But this depends on the individual's handiness, those accustomed to play baseball and cricket, excelling.

"The most difficult shot to stop results from a quick pass in front of goals at the height of about one foot off the ice.

"Goalers should use a good broad bladed skate, not too sharp, so as to allow easy change of position from one side to the other of the goal. He should dress warmly and protect his body and limbs with the usual pads which at the same time help to fill up the goal.

"He must not get "rattled" by the spectators and never lose confidence in himself."

Translation:Shulchan Aruch/Orach Chaim/454

With Which Matzo Does One Not Fulfill His Obligation

באיזה מצה אינו יוצא ידי חובתו

Paragraph 1 - One does not fulfill his obligation with bran-flour [matzo] or coarse bran-flour [matzo], but he can knead the dough with bran-flour or coarse bran-flour and then fulfill his obligation. One fulfills his obligation with very pure flour, and we do not say that this is not the bread of affliction. Rem"a: It is good a priori not to make the matzo too wide, because then it is like a cake (Mahar"i Weil).

סעיף א - אין יוצאין לא בפת סבין ולא בפת מרסן, אבל לש הוא את העסה בסבין ובמרסן שבה ויוצא בה. ויוצא במצה מסלת נקיה ביותר, ואין אומרים אין זה לחם עני. הגה: וטוב לכתחלה שלא לעשות המצה רחבה יותר מדי, דהוי כאשישה (מהר"י ווייל).

Paragraph 2 - One can fulfill his obligation with dogs' dough, as long as the shepherds eat from it, and if not, one cannot fulfill his obligation, because it is not watched for the sake of [the mitzvah of] matzo. Rem"a: This is from the Ramba"m, but there are those who say that the reason is that it is not called bread when the shepherds do not eat from it, and this is correct (Tur Yoreh Deah chapter 33 and Ras"h in his commentary on the first chapter of Tractate Hallah).

סעיף ב - עסת הכלבים, בזמן שהרועים אוכלים ממנה יוצאים בה, ואם לאו אין יוצאין בה, שאין זו משמרת לשם מצה. הגה: כך הם דברי הרמב"ם, אבל יש אומרים הטעם משום שאינו קרוי לחם כל זמן שאין הרועים אוכלים ממנה, וכן נראה עקר (טור יורה דעה סימן ש"ל, ור"ש בפירוש דמסכת חלה פרק קמא).

Paragraph 3 - There is nobody today who knows how to mix flour in hot water to make a richer grain. Therefore, all types of such mixing are forbidden.

סעיף ג - ליכא בזמן הזה דידע למחלט, הלכך כל מין חליטה אסור.

Paragraph 4 - One does not fulfill his obligation with stolen matzo. This is limited to stolen matzo, but if one steals wheat or flour and makes matzo, he can fulfill his obligation with it, because he acquired it by changing it, and he only owes money. (Regarding a blessing, see below at the beginning of chapter 649.)

סעיף ד - אין אדם יוצא ידי חובתו במצה גזולה. במה דברים אמורים, כשגזל מצה, אבל אם גזל חטים או קמח ועשאו מצה, יוצא בה, שקנאה בשנוי, ודמים לבד הוא חיב לו. (ולנין ברכה, עין לקמן ריש סימן תרמ"ט).

Rh a dark figure on the mound, which they assumed to be that of their companion left to guard the treasure. Then, mounting the tumulus, they asked whether any one had been there during their absence. The dark figure said, "Look up!" The men turned, the figure threw back his cloak, and they knew it was the devil, horns and hoof complete. Before they could recover from their astonishment and terror, with a switch of his tail he had whisked them into the cart. He mounted himself, and instantly the oxen—their own oxen—rose in the air with the vehicle, wheeled thrice about the mound, and then suddenly descended, carrying cart, men, and Satan into the pit. The earth closed over them and they were seen no more. Only Pierre lived to tell the tale. At the first appearance of the Evil One he had crossed himself. He was flung from the tumulus, and lay sprawling and blessing himself till after his comrades had vanished. Nay may easily be visited, as it is on the main road to Tarbes. It has a church of the fifteenth century, and the frontage of a Renaissance house in which Jeanne d'Albret delighted to reside. Farther on is Coarraze, where are the remains of the château in which Henri Quatre spent his early boyhood. Only the tower and the portal are of the sixteenth century, the rest is a structure raised in the eighteenth century. Over the doorway may be read the Spanish inscription: "Lo que ha de ser no puede fallar." The church is early and fortified. The terrace in front of the castle commands a beautiful and extensive prospect of the Pyrenees in their ever-changing tints and lights and shades. At the extreme limits of the department is Betharam. The name has been supposed to be derived from the Arabic

 Rh it will soon have to be numbered among the bygone amusements of English country life. Such being the case, the present seems the fitting time to set in order and to print the more important notes which I have been able to collect with regard to this curious custom—a custom which almost certainly dates from a period when the great mid-winter feast was still understood by all men to be held in honour of the sun, and of the powers connected with light and organic development. It will be observed that although the following descriptions of the game differ in completeness of detail, and vary more or less on small points, being distinguished by many slight discrepancies which it is impossible to harmonise; yet so far as they go they all agree in the main facts. Indeed, they tally so closely in this respect that it would be unnecessary to print them in full were it not advisable to preserve every fragment of original information relative to a usage so archaic in its essence as this belated instance of solar ritual.

"Throwing the hood," then, is an annual diversion indulged in at Haxey, in the Isle of Axholme, by a gathering of men who assemble from several adjoining townships; old Christmas day or Twelfthmas being the proper day for the game, which may, however, be played on the 7th of January if the 6th fall on a Sunday.

The Rev. W. B. Stonehouse says in his account of the parish of Haxey that this place, though at one time the most considerable in the Isle, never had the the privilege of a market or fair.
