A TRAGEDY IN SLIPPERS She gave him
a beautiful worked pair of slippers.
Although they were too short and pinched
him across the toes, he smilingly submitted
to the martyrdom which they imposed, aud
vowed they should never leave his feet.
Shortly afterwards the young man made 4
return for her offering. 1t was his picture
cncased in handsome frame. He wrote Il
note to send with it, and at the same time re-
piled angrily to an oft-repeated dun for an
unpaid suit of clothes He gave the boy
sixpence to deliver the package and notes,
giving explicit directions as to the destina-
ton. He was and an unusually intelligent
bow with freckled face, and he discharged
his errand in a manner that should give him
a niche in the temple of fame. The young
lady received a note in her adored ones
handwriting, and flew to her room to devour
its contents. She opened the missive with
eager fingers and read: Il am getting tired
of your everlasting attention. The suit is
about worn out already; it never amount.
ed to much anyhow. Please go to Jericho. y
And the tailor was struck utterly dumb
when he opened parcel and discovered
the picture of the delinquent customer, with
note that said "When you gaze upon
these features, think how much | owe you. y
When that unfortunate young man called
around that evening to receive the happy
acknowledgment of his sweetheart he was
incontinently shown the door by the young
lady's father; and in the morning he was
waited upon by the tailor's lawyer, and i'm
peratively ordered to settle or sufier.-Lon-

By this time il was broad daylight. Houy
appeared quite unconcerned and walked
stoutly toward the guilotine. The priest
made another attempt, but in vain. The
assistants quickly seized him by the arms
and threw him on a long pine board. He
offered not particle Of resistance. They
fastened him tightly to this board with
straps-one across his breast, second
across his thighs, the third at his ankles.
They then put the plank in place, pushing
it so far forward that the fellows neck
reached the lower semi. circular notch
of the gullotine. The eXecutioner stepped
down from the platform, and going around
to the front, seized Houy by the hair and
pulled with all his might. heard the tel-
low cry out with pain. | saw Dlebler touch
4 spring, and then like a flash the sharp
knife fell. 1t cut the neck in two. The
head rolled into basket half filed with
sawlust and the eyes were wide open. The
body was then unstrapped and thrown in
the basket The execution took precisely
two minutes and half. When the knife
fell the crowd rushed in and it was with
great difficulty they were driven back again.
The executioner's assistants fell to work
to clean the instrument The basket with
its sawdust and the bloody remains was
placed in the wagon behind the old whitc
horse and driven to the cemetery. After a
pretended interment the body was trans
ferred to an undertaker's wagon and taken
to the hospital. The head was taken to
the dissecting table, where, BY means of
electricity all the muscles of the face were
excited one after the other. At first it was
convulsed with frightful grimace. The
eyes opened and Shut, and the eye
brows contracted. The face at first assu-
med the expression of grief and then of rage
so that the jaws dropped together and the
teeth were gnashed in fury. The muscles
Of the body were next operated upon. The
arms rose and fell, the legs were alternately
drawn up and thrown out @iuleuuy, the
breast moved up and down as if breath was
still in the body. We could plainly hear
the air whistling through the bleeding neck
When the corpse was cold and still these
experiments were discontinued ; it was then
taken back TO the cemetery and buried.

THE JAVA EARTHQUAKE.

The bark Besse Baker, from Manila May
25, via Batavia, which arrived at Boston
yesterday, brings an interesting story OF
the Java earthquake. She reports that on
August 9th, Babie Island bearing \. by
W., distant five miles, mt daylight, she
noticed heavy bank rising from the west
ward, which continued TO rise until it
became obscured, the barometer suddenly
falling to 29.4O and again suddenly rising at
one jump to 1910. Had everything furled
and had no sooner let go the port anchor
when heavy showers ofsand and ashes began
falling. This was about noontime. Then
it became darker than the darkest night, the
wind blowing perfect hurricane and the
sea perfectly smooth. A heavy rumbling
like thunder was heard continually, the sky
was lighted by flashes of lightning and a
strong smell Of sulphur pervaded the air,
making it difficult to breathe. Altogether
it formed one of the widest and most awful
experiences imaginable. The tide was set
ting strongly to the westward throughout
the gale at rate Of If knots. The sky be-
came clearer at 8 p. m., though the ashes
continued to fall On the Goth, while pass
ing through the Straits Of Sunda, we saw Il
large number Of dead bodies, and the water
for miles was covered with trees and ashes,
the sea for 600 miles being Il field Of lava.
