French Executions.

Paris is soon to witness the execution
of a woman named Sophie Gauthier.
Her appeal for mercy he's been made to
Marshal MacMahon but, although he
has hitherto always consented to COM
mute q capital sentence when the MUIR
derer was a woman, he has declined to
do so on this occasion. Sophie Gauthier
had been found guilty ofahorrible crime /;
she had killed all her children by means
of pins, which she stuck into their brain.
Since 1910 only nine women have been
executed in France, and they all met
their death with great firmness. len
wears ago a man and woman were exc
cuted at Chartres for having murdered
their parents. In these days the guillo-
tine was not the horribly neat and COM
pact little .instrument that 1t is now |;
there were steps to ascend before coming
into contact with the executioner.
When the criminal couple reached the
foot of the scafold the woman said,
"I should like to embrace my husband
before dying. Pray unite my hands
you can tie them again Immediately
afterward." This supreme wish was
reluctantly granted, for it was contrary
to the regulations. Her hands were no
sooner free than she gathered up all her
strength and gave her husband ringing
box on the ear. According to custom,
she was the first to suffer the extreme
penalty of the law. Before the man had
recovered from the stunning blow she
had dealt him her head had fallen into
the sawdust.

BiyOuacking.

Some remarks on bivouacking made by
the Duke of Wellington to Mr.. Hayden,
the celebrated painter, and reproduced
in the "Memoirs and Diary" lately pub
lished by Mr.. Haydon's son, may be
found instructive in connection with the
new mobilization scheme. He, the
Duke, found bivouacking not suitable to
the character of the English soldier.
He got drunk and lay down under a
hedge. Discipline was thus injured.
But when he introduced tents every sol
der knew his own tent, and, drunk or
sober, he got to it before he went to
sleep. "Your Grace" said Mr.. Hayden,
"the French always bivouac." Yes"
he replied, "because the French, Span
ish, and all other nations lie anywhere.
It is their habit. They have no home"
In their campaigns of the last twenty
years against Russians, Italians, and
Germans. the French, it is well known,
carried tents. They adopted this prac-
tice in the Algerian plains, where neither
natural shelter, such as wooded countries
afford, nor artificial shelter in the shape
of houses, barns, and sheds, could be
found. At their maneuvers Of last au-
tumn and the autumn before, the French
returned in a great measure to their
ancient system of bivouacking, which,
like the Germans in 1879, they combined
in moderate degree-so as not to "vex
the inhabitants with cantonments; /;
and in future campaigns we shall proba-
bly, see them, like the Spanish and all
other nations" except the English, Gle
anywhere"

What Men Need Wives For.

1t is not to sweep the house, make the
bed, darn the socks and cook the meals,
chiefly that man wants wife. If this
is all, when young man calls to see q
lady, send him into the pantry to taste
the bread and cake she has made, send
him to inspect the needlewerk and bed.
making, or put broom in her hand and
send him to witness its use. Such things
are important and the wise young men
will quickly look after them; but what
the true man wants with wife is her
companionship, sympathy and love.
The way of life has many dreary places
in it, and man needs companion to go
with him. A man is sometimes over
taken by misfortune; he meets with fail
ure and defeat trials and temptations
beset him, and he needs one to stand by
and sympathize. Hehas some hard bat
ties to fight, with poverty, enemies and
with sin; and he needs a woman that
when he puts his arm around her, he
feels he has something to fight for, she
will help him to fight; that she will put
her lips to his ear and whisper words OF
counsel, and her hand to his heart and
whisper words of inspiration. All
through life, through storms and through
sunshine, conflict and victory; through
adverse and through favoring winds
man needs woman's love. The heart
yearns for it. A sisters and mothers
love will hardly supply the need. Yet
many seek for nothing furthW than sue
cess i'm housework. Justly enough hal
of these get nothing more; the othel
half, surprised beyond measure, hav'
gotten more than they sought. Thei
wives surprise them by bringing out
noble idea i'm marriage, and disclosing
treasury of courage, sympathy and love

Creeping Of Rails.

The creeping" of railroad rails has
attracted some attention of late, and,
while we do not attempt to explain 1t, we
offer a point on the fact that, on lines
running north and south, the western
rail creeps" faster than the eastern
rail-thatis, this strange movement of
the rail towards the south ismore marked
in one rail than in the other on the tame
track. Furthermore, ithas been noticed
that on such q line the eastern rail wears
out the fastest. Both of these points,
we think, can be explained by the motion
of the earth as it turns from the west
toward the east. Everything that has
free motion is dragged after the whirling
globe; every wind that blows and every
tide that moves feels the influence, and
our train going north or south is pulled
over towards the east, and naturally
presses the eastern rail most heavily,
The wester rail being relieved Of its share
of weight, "creeps" more freely and
quickly. II is also noticed that the
whcels that run on the eastern rail wear
out the first, and we can but think thai
this earth motion Is the true cause. Ths
practical side of this Is that the eastern
rail and wheel should be stronger

"I were tellin' you," said the old

We all slept aft in the cabin, except the

A Wonderful Clock.

A marvellous piece of mechanism has
lust been exhibited in Paris. 1t is an
eightday clock, which chimes the quar-
ters, plays sixteen tunes, playing three
times every twelve hours, or at sny in
tervals required. The hands go round as
follows: One, once minute; one, once
an hour; one, once week one, once
month one, once year. shows the
moons age, the rising and setting of the
sun, the time of high and low water, half
ebb and half food, and by a beautiful
contrivance, there is part that repre-
sents the water, which rises and falls,
lifting some ships at high-water tide as If
hey were in motion, and, as 1t recedes,
leaving these automaton ships dry on the
sands. The clock shows the hour OF the
day, day Of the week, day Of the month,
month Of the year, and in the day of the
month there is a provision made for the
long and short months. 1t shows the
signs of the zodiac; it strikes or not,
chimes or not, as may be desired and It
has the equation table, showing the diff
ference of clock and sun every day in the
wear.

Napoleon and Yiyier.

Vivier, the famous cOrnet player and
humorist, was a great favorite with Ma
poleon III. The emperor once asked
him down to Compiegne when the great
guests of the season had tax n their de-
parture, and treated Vivier with more
than usual condescension. When he
arrived, the emperor happened to be
going out, and he met the al ist with one
of his usual sweet, tranquil smiles OF
,cognition, and, calling to the sub
chamberlain, said: Take good care of
Vivier, and make him feel himself at
home here" :,
Vivier shrugged his shoulders, and
made sort of gesture of alright at the
gracious words.

theemperor.

DURING the past ten years, great
change has taken place in the tea trade
between the United States and China
and Japan. Before the establishment of
the telegraph and steamship lines, teas
that were ordered from China and Japan
in the early spring were not received In
this country until the first part of the
following winter. Now teas that are
growing on the bush in Japan in March,
are landed in New York early in June,
and July the market is supplied with
them. The telegraph is used to inquire
about the condition of the market, or to
order purchases made, merchants com.
municating with each other by cipher,
in order TO avoid the heavy expense in
volvcd in telegraphing 80 long distance

still. Bruin raised himself upon his

and seemingly satisfied with his scrutiny
deliberately walked out. He was fol-
