the drink he had taken, and being dissatisfied
with the efforts of one of the horses-a poor
hack which had almost served its time-he
decided that the animal was no longer worth
his feed, and resolved to put an end to it,
For that purpose he tied the poor brute to
tree, aud taking massive lever used In NOV

ILL-NATURE is not natural. People who
have it are out of balance. To certain ex-

To some people this condition may not be
observed, inasmuch as they have kindred

are never ill-natured. Circulation is a
healthy thing to have about you. When it
is defective we are sour; when it is stopped
we die. The latter is inconveDient to busi-

Breaking Criminals ON the wheel.


The following extract is from the instruc'
ton given in 1746 by the Paris Parliament to
4" Monsieur de Paris''-that is to say, the
Partisan executioner, in regard to the course
be was to pursue in breaking criminals:
After undressing the prisoners, no matter
whether male or female, until nothing but
short shirt covers them, he will tie them to
the St. Andrews cross on the scaffold, stretch
ing their limbs as far as possible and turning
their elbows outside. After giving the chap
lain notice to leave the scaffold. he will take
a bar ian iron bar, four feet long and very
heavy and commence striking the prisoners
limbs. He will commence striking at the
left shoulder, crushing the bones BY two de-
liberate blows. One blow WIN be sufficient
for the upper arm, two for the left elbow, and
two fJr the wrist and hand. Two heavy
blows will be struck on the hip bone, three
on the left knee joint two. well laid on, on
she left leg and one on the foot - Monsieur
de Paris" will then wait minute or two,
and commence working" on the right side
of the culprit commencing at the foot and
finishing at the shoulder. The groffer Of the
court will see to it that these instructions are
strictly carried out. The screams of the cul-
prit must not be needed by Monsieur" nor
must he give him the coup de grace before
finishing on the right shoulder. The coup
de grace is to consist of three heavy blows to
be delivered on the breast of the prisoner if
the prisoner is woman the coup de grace
will be delivered under the ribs lest her bos
ON should break the force of the blows The
body Of the culprit will be delivered to the
medical faculty of Paris, who will file re-
port on the condition of the corpse with the
groffer.
This horrible mode Of execution was wit
messed on an aveIage once week by the
Parisians One of the last victims of this
atrocious cruelty was poor servant girl, who
had been convicted of stealing rwo or three
dresses of her mistress. Her agony lasted
eleven minutes, and stream of blood spout
ing from her mouth after her knee bone had
been crushed, drowned her heart. rending
cries. Queen Marie Antoinette had been ap-
pealed to to save the girl, and haughtily re-
fused. This was afterwards remembered
against her. During the reign OF Louis XVI,
about three thousand persons were annually
broken on the Wheel Such were the " good
