HANGING In IOWA,

Souo years ngo the Iowa Legislature abol-
ished capital punishment in that State. It is
gald the net was rushed through with indc-
cent haste, in ordor to save d particular red
handed murderer from tho scaffold, to which
he had Just beon sentencod. Be this aa 1t
may, tho law Was expected by tbs sentiment:
alists to stop tho great crime 1t once. When
tho State ceased taking mans life, thoy
said, mon would cease TALKING It. Sympathy
with tho pests Of society carried the day.
The Legislature deprived tho people OF Iowa
Of ono groat safeguard Of humnn lifo. 1t
abolished hanging, for tho Rako Of tho mur-
desers md ut tho expense Of society. In
commenting on the fact at that timo, TnE
Ta1nuxE predictod thnt tho number Of
murders would at least not decrease; that
An impulse would be giyen to other
crimes and TINT lynch law would usurp
tho place which jnstice had boon
forced to abandon, This prediction, then
justified by the experience Of tho past has
since been justified by whnt has proved to bs
the experience Of tho thon future.
No regular reater ot the Iowa press can
fail to havo been struck by the enormous
criminal record Of that State. For m agri-
cultural community, it Ia something mp
palling. II there arc fowar murders now
than thors wero before tho abolition Of capi-
tal punishment, Iowa must hive been, at
that tllno, ono Of the most unsafo residences
in the country. We do not know what the
Cosopora' books may chow, but We do know
TINT it now requires good many special dis
| patches 10 eke out the Associated Press
reports Of lows murders. Probably no ono
win question tho recent Development OF lynch
law. Within week after Tie sentimontallsta
carriod tho Legislature, man suspected,
aud only suspected, Of crime was lynchod In
tho neighborhood Of Des 1loines, and tho
lenders Of the m1irderoua mob said that they
! had organized to do what tho law refused to
do,-hnng murdorers. Such bloody reason.
Ing tells with many people.
| It Is needless to dilAto on the moral results
Of lynohing. It Is usually far more barLar-
ous than tho crime 1t Is intended to punial.
Take, for instance, this last example e,-last,
that is, forty-sight hours ngo. There il no

Curious Flemish Carving OF the Sixteenth
Century.
from the New York Herald, Nov. 5.

TFrom the New York Herald, Nov. s.
At the Metropolitan Museum on Fourteenth
street there is at present on exhibition most
curious and interesting collection of carving
in oak, said to be from an ancient monastlc
chapel IN Client. The quaint figures and
panels are 800 years old, and comprise many
interesting studies. On one side OF the panels
a female saint is regarding with rapt adora-
ton a crucltix which she holds in her hand.
Her person is surrounded with wreath of
carved leaves. The most important figures
and groupings of the collection are In alto
relieve.
On another panel stream OF heavenly
light is represented as pouring upon the head
of saint. In the clouds above him are
cross and the Christian monogram -. ID.
S" st. Peter holding the keys in an admir-
able piece OF carved wood. The counten-
ance is as expressive in wood as it could have
been in oil or water colors. bishop or an
archbishop, crowned with a mitre, is reveren.-
" looking upward Still another, casting his
eve heavenward toward angels and cross,
has dove perched upon the collar OF his
robe. On the columns separating the panels
are eight finely carved females, in whose
countenances the lines of beauty are well pre-
served. Three separate confessional boxes
occupy distinct locations in this unique ex-
hibition Between the small apartment
where once was seated the confessor and the
kneelipg penitent is slight screen OF carved
lattice work. This is covered by small
door. which was shut or opened at the pleas
ure of the confeSsor.

Sunprfn0uS Women.

Mrs. Livermore, in her new lecture, says:
Woman for ages past has only been allowed
to suffer, and has not been able to come up
and prove what she was able to 90. Up to
the eighteenth century, and even in the nine
tenth century, she has been called by what
was considered good authority =" natural
invalid" Colleges are opening for her tor
i1int education with the young men, and in
stitutions devoted to her sole use. She is
finding her way into many kinds OF employ
ment The generally accepted theory OF
woman's life was that God has made her be-
cause man needed her, and it was this feel
ing that needed to be rooted out.
| She would not depreciate marriage, but she
did not want girls to think that wifehood and
motherhood were their only ends in life. To
simply train women for domestlcs would be a
great mistake, Tor sdch training would not
result in producing good domesucs even. As
rule, 105 boys were born TO every leo girls,
but when the sexes arrive at a marriageable
age the proportion is reversed and the differ
ence largely increased. War and dissipation
cuts off the men. Up to one hundred years
ago more than $4,000, 000,0 men had per-
i,hed on the battlefield. In 1867 the mar
rages in the United, States were but Is out OF
each 100 manageable women, and the dlspro-
portion is now much greater. In Massachu-
sets to-day there are 10000 manageable
| women who remain single.
The bugbear of being an g old maid" or the
evil effect of the present system OF educating
girls led many of them to accept offers OF
marriage which they onght to reject. In olden
times the "suoertious' women were content
because they knew no better, but this was
not their feeling now. The tendency of the
time is more and more toward single women,
and they can be happy and seit-supporting
without marriage. The day which sees women
as careful to choose virtuous husbands as men
have been in the past to select virtuous wives
will mark the greatest social revolution of the
age In regard to the question of what to do
wi ID the superfuous women, she said that IN
some Of the Western Sta the men greatly
exceeded the women in numo ers, and Iii
cious immigration might be advisable, bus to
cease demanding that woman should only be
trained Tor marriage was the only proper pro-
ceedng.

would not be the verdict, for the musicians
rose to applaud me, which was the first time

courage. The terrible night came, and put

The HPunch" Writers.

Punch writers were mostly fond of children.
It was Thackeray's delight to "tip boys.
When Sidney Blanchard was little fellow,
on one of his school holidays Thackery gave
him dinner at the Glrrick, took him to the
theater in the evening, and enjoyed himself
immensely in the delight OF the boy Leecn
was never happier than in his pictures OF chill.
dren and their childish humor. Du Maurlel
is never more at home than when he is de-
lineating some quaint joke in which the chill,
dren are the actors. Tom Hood was one OF
the most simple and gentle-minded OF poets,
