Medieval Punishments.
E.Om the Sotrdau Rerie,c.

From the Saturday RerieaC.
George Wilde and Hans and Barbara
Hahn were accused of several murders
perpetrated near Wolun in 1859. After a
few weeks confinement they confessed and
unfolded tale of horrors, of men robbed
and murdered on the roadside, or in their
homes, of violations of women George
Wilde enumerated thirty nine murders he
had committed, and Hans Hahn owned up
to forty murders. Both stated, however
that they could not remember all the per-
sons they had murdered Hahn's wife
confessed to be an accomplice to number
of her husbands murders The sentence
of the court read as follows:
Be 1t ordained, That Hans Hahn and
George Wilde, as an awful example to other
evildoers, be placed upon a wagon and
taken to the public market place, where
the first joint Of all their fingers, but each
separately, shall be torn off with hot pincers;
then each of them shall have his flesh torn
from different parts of his body with hot
pincers; each time at four places; then they
shall be dragged by horses over the ground
to the place of execution, but so they do
not loose too much strength; there they
shall have their arms and legs crushed by
blows with an iron wheel; lastly, they are
to be tied to a stake and roasted at slow
fire.
Barbara Hahn is to be taken naked to
the place of execution, where her flesh is
to be torn by red-hot pincers, and then she
is to beheaded with sword; her corpse is
to be laid on the wheel as frightfuI ex-
ample to others
All this for justice sake.
This horrible butchery took place on the
I'd of July, 1861, at Wolun, and was wit
messed by George Wilde's father, who
looked on with the utmost Indifference
He had also witnessed the execution of his
daughter without the slightest visible
emotion.

THE SAwDUsT BUSINESS The Lam
herman says that in New York there are
about 500 vendors of sawdust, having a
capital of 100000 invested, and doing a
business of $2,OOO,OOO annually. Forty
years ago the mills were glad to have saw
dust carted away; twenty-five years ago it
could be bought for fifty cents load now
it brings $3.50 load at the mills. 1t is
used at hotels, eating houses, groceries, and
other business places. 1t is vet and
spread over floors, in order to make the
sweeping cleaner work. Plumbers use a
great deal about pipes and buildings to
deaden walls and floors. Sodawater men
and packers of glass and small articles of
every kind use it, and dolls are stuffed
with it. Yellow pine makes the best saw
dust, as it is the least dusty, and has
pungent, healthy smell. But any white
wood dust will do. Black-walnut sawdust
will not sell, and is burned.

KEEPING RUST FROM TooLs.-The sim
pie preparation employed by Professor
Olmstead, of Yale College, for the preser-
walton of scientific apparatus, and which
he long ago published for the general
good, declining to have it patented, is made
by the slow melting together of six or
eiights parts of lard to one of resin, stirring
till cool. This remains semi-fuid, always
ready for use, the resin preventing ran
cidity and supplying an. air-tight film
Rubbed on bright surface ever SO thinly
it protects and preserves the polish effec-
tually, and can be wiped off nearly clean,
if ever desired, as from knife-b blade; or it
may be thinned with coal oil or benzine.
IF oxidation has begun, no matter in how
slight degree, it viii 60 on under coat
ing; it is therefore essential that the steel
surface be both bright and dry when

NIGHT LIGHTS IN BEDRooMs.-The
common practice of having night lights in
bedrooms of children of wellto-do parents is
deprecated by DIR. Robert II. Bakewell
He says that it has most injurious effect
upon the nervous system of young children.
"instead of the perfect rest the optic nerves
ought to have, and which nature provides
for by darkness of the night, these nerves
are perpetually stimulated, and, of course,
the brain and the rest of the nervous sys-
tenn suffer. Children thus brought up
are excessively timid for years after on
going into the dark. ~ Medical Record.

THE OLD CHURCH BELL.

Born of the metal and the fire,
They bore me from my raging sire,
And made me of the citys choir
Which sings in free air only;
And here since then I've patient hung,
Silent, untouched; but, being swung,
Giving my voice with iron tongue
Alone, but never lonely.
The hermit of the belfry here,
Celled in the upper atmosphere,
speak in accents stern and clear
To all the listening people;
With none my speech to check or mar,
Sending my utterance near and far,
With sonorous clang and sudden jar,
/ shake the slender steeple.
l ring the chimes for the bridal day;
toll when the dead are borne away;
clang when the red flames rise and play
On cracking roof and rafter;
tell the hours for the steady clock;
call to prayers the pastors flock;
And back and forth in my work rock,
And sink to silence after.
Here by myself in belfry high,
Peeping through bars at earth and sky,
And mocking the breezes sweeping by,
And back their kisses flinging;
chime for smiles l toll for tears,
herald news and hopes and fears,
AS have done for many years,
And never tire of ringing.
From place of vantage looking down
On yellow light and shadows brown,
Which CLINT and tint the busy town
With hues that CLEAN and quiyer,
see within the streets below
The human currents crosswise flow,
Eddying, surging to and fro,
An everything river.
And when the twilight slowly crawls
Ger stated roofs and bricken walls,
And darkness on the city falls,
And dews the flags besprinkle,
watch the gloom around me creep,
So dense the silence, dense and deep
The very highway seems to sleep,
But for the gaslight twinkle.
/ chime for birth or bridal train;
1 toll when souls have burst their chain;
l clang when fire its ruddy rain
From clouds of smoke is f1inging;
l chime for smiles, I toll for tears;
herald news and hopes and fears;
And SO shall do for many years,
And never tire of ringing
