Here little pet dog, Folly, made our
acquaintance down at Fairlands, where
had gone for the seasons shooting, for
the pampered creature had got himself
lost in the woods, and found him, and
on learning that he belonged to Miss
Victoria Wheaton, had him restored to
her. She was little brunette beauty
of sixteen, the only child in the rich old
mansion Of Fairlands, and from being a
pet of mine she became, in less than a
year, my lady-love.

my suit. If they were surprised they
were DO less pleased that Victoria had
chosen me. They appreciated the value
Of bank-stock and real estate, of which
my darling knew little and cared less. -
But believe she took pride in the
favor in which the world held me. She
was proud TO be DR.. Adams bride.
After our engagement, Victoria's
mother stipulated that we should not be
married for year-not until her eigh-
teenth birthday. / was in popular prac-

the evidence goes to show that death by
| hanging is painless, and there is posi-
lively no fact or wcll-foundod opinion to
the contrary. If that be the case, then,
what is the explanation of it? Simply
this: That in every form of strangula-
ton the blood vessels Of the neck
are compressed, as well as the air-pas-
sages. A large part Of tho blood is re-
turned from the head by the external
jugular veins, which are very near the
surface, and in which the current can be
checked by slight pressure. Most of the
blood from the brain itself comes back
through the internal jugulars, which lilo
near, but little outside of the carotid
arteries. The wall Of yiens are lax and
yielding, so as to be easily compressed,
while those of the arteries are firm and
elastic, and it requires considerable force
to approximate them. Pressure, then,
which is sufficient to close the jugular
veins only crowds the carotids a little
farther inward, and the blood is still
poured through them into the brain,
whence it cannot escape When this
pumping process is going on at the rate
Of seventy strokes n minute, it is easy TO
understand how the engagement of
the vessels Of the brain, in a very brief
time, reaches degree which causes iu-
sensibility. To explain why this con-
geston causes Inconsistencies would
involve a technical discussion which
would here be out of place. It must
suffice to say that Il docs so that, as tho
cerebral congestion in a hangc9person
brings on insensibiity within a'minutc,
while the physical agony Of siffocation
does not begin until later, it Gllows that
the victim does not feel any II the pangs

somewhat peculiar. The wife of a

Pauperisnl.

The annual report OF the State Board Of
Charities of Massachusetts, shows that pau
perism, crime and lunacy are every year
on the increase in that State. 1t now
costs the people of Massachusetts two
million dollars annually to support from
sixty thousand to seventy thousand pau
pers. The secretary suggests that keep
ing families together in almshouses tends
to perpetuate pauperism. 1t would be
far better for all concerned to separate
them, leaving the parents to be supported
in public institutions, if necessary, but
placing the children out in families where
they would be put ia the way of sup:
porting themselves. Brought up among
paupers and dependent on public charity,
they lose all sensitiveness on the subject
and are kept from learning the lesson of
Independence aud self-support, and
are very likely to become burden on the
community like their parents. The gen.
eral prevalence Of hard times has large
ly increased pauperism everywhere, in
Iowa rs we'll as Massachusetts, but prob
ably to much larger extent in the east
than in the west. An improvement in
business, by opening up new avenues Of
employment, will tend to check any in
crease of pauperism except that incident
al to the increase of population, but
meanwhile it is the duty of our legisla-
ture to do everything possible to discour-
age any unnatural increase OF mendi-
cants.-Burlington Hawkeye.
