Stocks, among sliip-carpenters, a 
frame of timber, and great posts made 
ashore, to build pinnaces, ketclies, boats, 
and such small craft, and sometimes small 
frigates. Hence we say, a ship is on the 
stocks, wlien she is a building. 
Stocks, a wooden machine to put the 
legs of offenders in, for the securing of dis- 
orderly persons, and by the way of punish- 
ment in divers cases, ordained by statute, 
&c. And it is said, that every vill, within 
tlie precinct of a town, is indictable fbr 
not having a pair of stocks, and shall forfeit 
five poands. 
STO 
STOEBE, in botany, a genus of the Syn- 
genesia Polygamia Segregata class and or- 
der. Natural order of Nucainentacas. Co- 
rymbiferae, Jussieu. Essential character : 
calyx one-flowered ; corolla tubular ; her- 
maphrodite, receptacle naked ; down fea- 
thered. There are nine species, chiefly 
natives of the Cape of Good Hope ; they 
are shrubby plants, resembling heath ; at 
the Cape it forms the principal food of the 
rhinoceros. 
STOICS, a sect of ancient philosophers, 
the followers of Zeno, thus called from the 
Greek j-oa, which signifies a porch or porti- 
co, in regard Zeno used to teach under a 
portico, or piazza. It was the common 
fault of the stoics to introduce abundance 
of subtilty and dryness into their disputa- 
tions, either by word of mouth, or in writ- 
ing. They seemed as carefully to avoid all 
beauty of style, as depravity of morals. 
Chrysippus, who was one of the stoics, did 
no great honour to his sect, and could only 
disgrace it. He believed tlie gods perish- 
able, and maintained, that tiiey would ac- 
tually perish in the general, conflagration. 
He allowed the most notorious and abomi- 
nable incests, and admitted the community 
of wives amongst sages. See Zeno. 
STOKESIA, in botany, so named in ho- 
nour of Jonathan Stokes, M. D. a genus of 
the Syngenesia Polygamia iEqualis class 
end order. Essential character ; corollets 
in the ray funnel-form, longer, irregular ; 
down four-bristled ; receptacle naked. 
There is but one species, viz. S. cyanea, 
blue-flowered stokesia. This plant has a 
corolla resembling that of the common blue 
bottle, centaurea cyanns, with almost the 
calyx of carthamus, to which genus it is al- 
lied. It is a native of South Carolina. 
STOLE, a sacerdotal ornament, worn by 
the Romish parish-priests over their sur- 
plice, as a mark of superiority in their re- 
spective churches ; and by other priests, 
over the alb, at celebrating of mass, in 
which case it goes across the stomach ; and 
by deacons, over the left shoulder, scarf- 
wise ; when tlie priest reads the gospel for ’ 
any one, he lays the bottom of his stole on 
his head. The stole is a broad swath, or 
slip of stuff hanging from the neck to the- 
feet, with three crosses thereon. The bi- 
shops anciently pretended, that the parish- 
priests were never to appear before them, 
but in their stole. In Flanders and Italy, 
they always preach in stoles ; it is supposed 
to be a representation of the extremities of
