Not the Fashion.

German undertakers do not exhibit
their wares, as is the custom in Ameri-
ca. Cotfins are made by them to order
when wanted. This custom prevails
throughout the European Continent;
it is only in the large cities that any
stock of the commodity is kept on hand,
and then in an unobtrusive fashion. A
few years ago an enterprising under
taker in Basel, Switzerland, started
business in the American style and put
q couple of small coffins in his window.
Crowds gathered to stare at the I'M
wonted sight, and before the end of the
week the police gave notice to the shop.
keeper that "the unseemly exhibition
must cease.

A Russian Execution.

The execution of the murderers of
Gen. Strelnikoff, in Russia, took place
the next morning, after the sentence
had been approved by General Gourko.
At seven o'clock on Monday morning
the prisoners reached the place of exc
cution, wearing on their breasts pla-
cards, on which was the inscription
estate criminals. The hangman, who
had, as usual, been brought from his
prison at Moscow, and had arrived dur
ing the night according to custom, was
dressed in the red shirt of the Russian
moujiks, the wide trousers tucked into
high boots. The scaffold, which was
approached by five steps, was rough
platform resting on trestles. Two glib
bets rose above it and two black posts.
The local authorities were stationed in
a circle around the scaffold. The ar-
rival of the prisoners was heralded by
the shrill sound of flies and the beating
of drums. Each prisoner was attended
by priest. On ascending the steps
they were received by the hangman and
bound to the posts. The death war
rant was then read by the military at
torney, while the executioner placed a
short ladder under the right hand glib
bet. The usual white shrouds were
next thrown over the heads of the con-
demned men. One of them mounted
the right hand ladder, followed imme-
diately by the hangman. When the
prisoner was exactly under the gibbet
the rope was slipped round his neck
outside the linen shroud. The execu-
toner then jumped quickly from the
ladder, which he instantly withdrew
from beneath the mans feet. While
one prisoner hung struggling in the
last commissions the rope was put round
his companions head in the same man.

was over.

Snow Bound. train with $50 pas
sengers aboard became snowbound ON
the Canada Pacific Railroad, west of
Winnipeg, and was in the drift over
three days. Food and fuel gave out,
and there was great deal of suffering
from hunger and cold. There happened
to be a sledge and train of dogs in the
baggage car, and with these a scant
supply of provisions was fetched from a
station twenty miles distant. Firewood
was chopped from a car. Four passen-
gers started for Winnipeg on snow
shoes, were badly frozen on the way,
and reached that place in depIorable
plight.

The poor black ear h doth shiv'ring shake;

And ere the morning can awake,

That warmetn thus the cold bleak world;
Beneath thy mantle, fine and cnld
A thousand secrets here are furled.
We hear the snow-drop ring her bells,
Although she sleepeth GU of sight;
The yellow crocus wakes and stirs,
And stretches upward to the light.

All hidden in her hoddeu.g gray,
LOOK down upon the suow-clad earth
Till SIP ing-time sweeps The snow away;
And lettins out her quacking geese,
She bids them OF er Gathers grow,
Then shuts the doDr, and goes 10 sleep
