The Ameer's Method of Execution.

A description comes from Cabul by way of India of the manner in which the ameer caused the late minister of war to be exterminated. The latter made glowing promises of future devo- tion, but his sovereign would not listen to them for 8 moment, but condemned him to instant death. Thereupon the prisoner was bound hand and foot. con- ducted to that part of the yard in which the elephants stalls open and laid upon the ground. At the same moment one of the stall doors was unfastened and out stepped gigantic elephant, The ponderous executioner, evidently un- derstanding what was expected of him made no delay, but advancing through the courtyard placed his fore feet upon the prostrate body of the culprit and forthwith began to tread him out of existence. A few seconds later noth- ing was left of the miserable naud Khan except an unrecognizable mass of flesh and numerous mourning wives and relatives.

How Webster Looked,

Daniel Webster WAS born 100 years ago on the eighteenth of January, 1782. Nobody who once saw him ever forgot him. Of all Americans he was prob ably the most imposing in his appear ance. Others have had finer, loftier, more refined, more spiritual aspect, as there have been Americans of far higher essential greatness. But there was 8 certain grandeur in Webster's look which was incomparable. His Olym- plan presence gave an air of significance and dignity to whatever he said. We have heard him deliver the most aston ishing commonplace in such way that the audience seemed to be listening to 8 new revelation of great truths. He had the instinct which assur d him that the prosperity of the oration is in the eye and ear of the nearer. Of the singular charm of his private intercourse there are scores of published records. But the private circle of friends seemed to be always little oppressed by the con- sciousness of his greatness. His man. ners were those of what is called the old school. His dress upon great occasions was that of the English whigs. blue and buff-a yellow waistcoat and 8 blue dresscoat with brass buttons.-Harper's Weekly.

 sseducated" on some rivers to take the
 Av. The Japs work with very small
 flies, fine tackle, slight bamboo rods,
 with which they are very successful.
 Altogether, however, the game will be found scarcely worth the candle on the
 mainland, but capital sport with the salmon trout can be obtained in several streams near Satsuporo, in Yezo, during May and June, with genuine British fiv. The most important export from Yezo is in dried salmon, which are netted in incredible quantities in yari- ons rivers of the northern rart of the island and in the southern Kuriles; but snort in these rivers among the dense masses of fish is out of the question, even if the proprietors of the fishings would allow their fish to be poached. The Japanese seaboard is everywhere nicturesoue, and the seas abound with fish, giving employment to the crews of thousands of fishing boats. When sailing along the coasts numbers of large black whales and sharks, Doth large and small. will be seen, the latter being caught by the fishermen. as their fins are counted a delicacy, and the skins serve many uses. The hilts of all the old swords are covered with white sharks skin.-IRe London FielG.

 The curative qualities of common salt are not as freely impressed upon the public mind as is expedient. Infam- l nation can be rapidly reduced by 8 solution of salt, and for weak or dis eased membrane local applications of salt md water act as magic. In ctses of sore throat, sore eyes or catarrhal affections, simple salt and water as 8 gargle or douche, is 8 most effcacious application. The chief virtue of min eral waters is salt, which forms a con- stituent either in large or small propor- tions in all springs recommended for healing. The unmistakable benefits derived from sea bathing and sea air proceed from that great strengthening medium-common salt. A goblet of we'll iced salt and water is not dis agreeable beverage before breakfast, and is highly beneficial as an aperient If "salt should lose it's savor" most important lever of the pharmacopoeia would be destroyed.
 Concerning the treatment for diph- theria, the Food md Health says To us it appears that fresh air is the first necessity; We should allow diph- therial patient to be near an open win dow. Next, we should use hot malt vinegar for flannel wraps round the throat, gargles of the same diluted with water, and the most tonic diet pos sible. Neither quinine nor mine ral tonics, but hot, strong wines, yolks of eggs beaten up in strong beef tea :; warm baths made of chamomile flo Wers; feet placed in mustard and water, and l flannel wraps soaked in hot vinegar 1 around the stomach. The juice pressed | from raw beef, heated in farina boiler | and given constantly, but, above all, hot red wine. Limitations of the fumes | of vinegar with open mouth and pencil ings of the same within the mouth. The | use of lemons is also to be recommend ed. Diphtheria is 8 apreventable disease, and when we know more of the condi- tions under which the health of human life can exist and are inclined to listen to it and act accordingly to it, we shall have fewer epidemics such as those of diphtheria.

The Library of Congress.

A short paper in the Century on "The Proposed National Library Building" gives the following ac- count of the contents of the library of the United States: Having risen from the ashes of two confagra- tions, the last of which, in 1851, spared only twenty thousand volumes, the government library has grown with rapid strides until it counts, in 1881, upward of 4OOO volumes, besides 15O, 900 pamphlets and several hundred thousand copyright publications and other books. In the history Of this pro- gress, which has raised the collection in thirty years from 20, 900 books to 400, 900, the marked sources of increase have been fourfold first, 8 liberal appro- priation by Congress in 1852 of $85, GOO in one sum for the purchase of books to repair losses by fire; second, the sc- quisition of the Smithsonian scientific library in 1866, with all it's annual ac- sessions since; third, the purchase of the Force historical library in 1867; and fourth, the enactment of tho copyright law in 1870, ma king this library the national record office for copyrights and the depository of all publications to which exclusive right of multiplying copies is secured.
 The law of growth of this already large collection, aside from the very modest appropriations for purchase (varying from five thousand dollars to fifteen thousand dollars per annum, for the last thirty years), is such as to give emphasis to the fact that it requires most ample provision of space for it's orderly arrangement and preservation. This library not only presents itself as the great conselv vatory of American let ters, but there is added, by careful and steady annual purchase, 8 selection of the best literature of other lands and languages. It is, besides, the assidu- ous gatherer of books, periodicals, doe uments and maps relating to America. Its collection of newspaper files ex- tends to over seven thousand volumes, embracing the London Gazette, from 1865 to 1881 the Tunes from 1796 to date; the German Atlgamaeine Zeitat,ag, complete, from the close of the last century full sets of the Monitem- Uni- rersel and of the Journal des De6ats, from their origin in 1709 the New York Ebening Post from the first issue in 1901 with complete sets of every i'm portant English and American review or magazine, and an extensive collection of periodicals, scientific, literary, etc of other countries.

Prosecuting Animals.

In the good old times from the thir- teenth to the sixteenth centuries ani- mals were duly prosecuted in court for to private property, and numerous cases are recorded in France of hogs, bulls, horses and other quadrupeds being convicted and punished, capitally, by hanging, burning or in other cruel fashions. Tn Sardinia cattle taken in the act of damaging property could be lawfully slain, but asses, possibly as being stupid and less accountable, were punished for trespass, first by loss of one ear, on 0 second conviction by the loss of the other and on the third by forfeiture to the crown. But when physical seizure of the offending crea- lures was impossible the ecclesiastical tribunals took cognizance of the mat ter, and the plague of rats, locusts, caterpillars, or what not, was duly cited to trial. More fortunate than human offenders, they were allowed eminent counsel and wide latitude in their de- fense. One of the most famous law yers of France made his first great hit in the defense of 'ce1tain dirty ami mals in the form of rats, of grayish color. living in holes" in the diocese ot Antun. His clients did not, of course, appear on the stated day, and he pleaded defective service, and that as all the rats in the diocese were interested no tice should be given to them in all the parishes. The priests having been duly instructed, and the rats still re- maining in contempt, their counsel ob- tained 8 postponement on the ground I1l @~ oI-o their preparations for journey en masse, and when the time was up he came into court protesting the good faith of his clients and their anxiety to appear, but demanding for them 0 safe plaintiffs cats under heavy bonds not to molest any rat until the case had been decided. As the plaintiffs declined to enter into the bond the rats got off. It would be curious to know what ever came of the famous lawsuit between the parish of St. Julien and the beetles, which began in 1445 and had not been endde in 1487, when the records unhappily terminate. The proceedings ended with compromise by which the inhabi- tants gave the beetles in perpetuity a certain portion of the parish for theil sole use and benefit. The beetles demurred to this, but the demurrer was overruled and. the courts ass essors hay ing inspected the land and found if everything that 8 beetle could ask. the title was made duly out and signed and sealed and the beetles would have had to retire to it or place themselves in fragrant contempt had it not been dis covered that there had been quarry on the land, and, though it was ex- hausted and no longer worked, that there was right of way over the soil which if exercised would incommode tbe new proprietors. The beetles promptly made the point, and the trial was begun over again at the beginning. One reason perhaps why the courts were so scrupulous was to be found in the fact that the plaintiffs had to show clean tithe- bill before beginning the suit, and during its continuance numer- ous imposing and expensive ceremonies were performed.

Labor in the '' Black Lands" of Russia


 A correspondent of the London I inaes writing from the "black lands" of Russia about the scarcity of labor in that egion, says that the laborer's or dinary wages are from forty to fifty CO., pecks (twenty- five to thirty cents) daily; but at harvest time, or when the field is to be dug for beet root, the landlord finds it extremely difficult to procure laborers even at two or three rubles 8 day, and he declares that he would rather pay that high wage to one eff cient laborer than to four such lazy hounds as he can muster in the neigh borhood. Of the northern peasants, re- ported to be yearly focking from their comparatively barren lands to these fer tile southern fields, hardly any make their appearance. except carpenters and other mechanics, who, however useful in their several capacities, are of no avail whatever as field hands. The distress fir reapers and plowmen has waxed so great that the governm ent has had to come to the landowners res cue by allowing the soldiers quartere q in the garrisons to lend their hands at the rate of one ruble daily for each man, their employer having to feast and entertain the officers into the bargain. Buts although as many as 50,O0O men from the ranks have thus been told off in the province of Podolia alone to make themselves useful on a better ground than the battlefield, the supply of labor is still wofully inadequate to the demand.
