As even Guiteau died by strangu.
lation and without broken neck il
begins 10 look as IL execution by
hanging had no certainty in il what
ever. In a case like this il is reason
able to suppose that every precaution
was taken which experience could
suggest, yet the vertebral condition at
the autopsy, and the usual scene of
torture only failed, we believe, be-
cause the strangulation was more than
commonly effective, through the rup-
ture of muscles that often protect the
respiratory passages. Guiteau was
alive II minutes after he fell, yet he
was plunged downward through a
trap in accordance with the most APP
proved theories. His body was not
heavy enough to snap the ligaments
that hold the vertebral bones in posi-.
ton. But the worst Of all recent ca
ses of hanging is one reported from
the West, in which also the culprit
was plunged through trap, but was
so little injured by the accident that
he was able to get his hands and feet
free and struggle to regain his footing
on the scaffold. He was beaten back
by the executioner. Such battle
between hangman and his slightly
hanged victim presents a picture that
one might suppose would excite the
people TO reform our method Of adj
ministering capital punishment.

An Extraordinary Engineering Feat

The Washington Monument is too
near TO be ever regarded by Wash
ington people as any thing out Of tho
ordinary run Of things. Few people
here ever stop TO think what feat Of
engineering has been undertaken in
the construction Of this monument.
There is no where in the world such
mechanical appliances as we have in
the monument" said Col. Casey.
1.-THE last course Of stone weighed 100
tons. Now this 160 tons was raised
vertically a distance Of 245 feet, and
the course was laid in 10 hours. In
other words, two feet Of the monu-
ment was built in that time. You
haven't any idea of the amount Of
stone and the amount of work requir.
ed 10 build the monument. The stone
we have laid since the work was re.
sumed, il taken down and spread out,
would cover the entire monument lot.
At distance the monument looks
small; the yardarms on the derricks
ON top look like broom splints; but
when one gets near them and see how
large they are, how vide the struct'
ure is, he gets some notion OF the
work. - Washington Star.

UNPRoMIsING FOREIGN CRoPs.-
The information which | cabled to you
last week about the unpromising con-
dition of our crops has been verified
by the many inquiries l have since
made in all quarters. Hay and clo-
yer are very heavy, but much of the
growth is down, and the weather is
decidedly unfavorable to the chance
of getting it in good condition. Wheat
is thin and poor, having been checked
by the Spring frosts and the cold
nights which we have been having
down to the present time. In the
midland districts the farmers have
given up all hopes of getting more
than half crop. In the home coun
ties the prospects are better, but the
crop everywhere must be light, and
the loss to the already sorely tried ag.
ricultural community severe. This,
of course, will add greatly to the di fiji
culties surrounding the land question.

VIM 1000 Is not a lean Year

The year 1900, although it is d.
visible by four without a remainder,
is not a leap year, aud it comes about
in this way. "Under the Julian pc
Rod" the solar year was considered 10
consist of 365 days and a quarter of a
day, but as the actual or civil year
could not be made to include a quar-.
ter of day, an additional day was
inserted in the calendar every fourth
year to make up for the four lost
quarters, and this is the 29th of Feb
ruary. But the Julian method of in.
tercalculation made the year too long
by eleven minutes and ten and one
third seconds. This puts the calen-
dar ahead of solar time one day in
1873 years; to balance this in the ad
justment of the calendar known as the
"Gregorian, after Pope Gregory XIII
now universally adopted in the Chris
tian countries except Russia, one of
the leap years is dropped at the close
of every century, except when the fig
ures of the centurial year, leaving out
the two ciphers at the end, can be d.
vided by four without remainder.
Thus, 1900 was a leap year, and 1000
will be, but 1900 and 1900 are not.

Governor k0ray's Escape From A Mormon

1t is not always all glory and fun to

nor Murray, of Utah, had a little
trouble lately. but he came out Of it
all right. 1t seems that woman who
had been looking for ten years for
some one to betray her was at last sue
cessful, and as she was a Mormon by
profession, and the church desired to
stand by her, the leaders concluded to
swear the results on the Governor.
However, the MormOns were surpris-
ed and chagrined on the arrival of the
little stranger to find that he was
mulatto. As the woman was white
and the Governor is a pronounced
Caucasian, the church of Latter. Day.

A subscriber asks how he can get
rid of the apple borer. According to
Il writer on horticultural and agricul-
tural subjects, when borers have once
gained possession of a tree the only
way to get rid Of him is to hunt for
them carefully with a knife or wire
and destroy them. The eggs of the
parent beetle are deposited during the
nights in June, and are placed in the
bark of the tree at the surface of the
ground, or whatever may surround
the tree. These eggs hatch in our
latitude during September, aud it is
soon after this the young grub may be
easily removed without the use Of any
thing more than the point Of pen
knife. A few minutes spent in this
way about the first of October each
Fall will keep the tree from this pest.

cheering rays far out to sea, save
where the piece of tin threw a dark
shadow, widening as it fell upon the
distant waters, till il covered many a
