The feature Of receiving payment
from those who themselves have
means or can draw on the resources
OF friends is ofgreater value to the in
mate than to the institution. 1t en-
courages healthy self-respect in him.
On the other hand, while it, Of course,
assists the funds necessary to support

probably be forthcoming in the way Of

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST BEATS.
Precautions are taken against beats,
men who will profess anything for the
sake Of shelter, food, and needed cloth
ing, but some such fellows do manage
to creep into better society than they
deserve to enjoy. They are soon de-
tected after admission, but their pres
ence is ordinarily winked at as long
as they behave themselves. Their re-
formation is not despaired of, and
nothing is said or done which can in
form them that their deception is seen
through. They are treated exactly
like the rest of the inmates, with the
same courtesy, torbearance and kind
ness, and the same reforming inhu-
ences are brought to bear upon them.
The result is, in not few cases, that
these "meanest of mankind" become
changed characters. Not among the
least Of the achievements of the man.
agement of the Home is the not infre-
quent transformation of the 'bummer
beat" into the Christian gentleman.
Inmates who are guilty Of drinking,
using tobacco. or taking liquor into
the institution are summary dealt
with, as is the proper result Of so
gross violation Of obligation and
honor.

DETAIL OF TIE INMATES LIFE.

In another place the reader has
been made 6 morally acquainted with
the means adopted for the reformation
Of the inebriate in the institution I'M
der description. What its manage
ment calls 1.-The gospel remedy" is APP
piled to 1.-The alcohol and opium sins"
These are regarded and treated purely
and simply as sins, under the favor
able conditions of bodily rest and COM
fort, mental repose, seclusion and COM
plete immunity from annoyance, irrita-
ton and temptation. Attendance at
the means of religious instruction and
help are not required until after the
new inmate has held a private inter-
view with the acting manager, who
deals with him in a brotherly way,
Bible in hand and promises on his
lips. The wrecks Of reverend gentle
men may, perhaps express impotence
of being taught by layman, and the
manager is easily understood when he
tells his friends: II would rather
have to do with an honest infdel than
with broken down Dominic" But
he holds his own, and if necessary, as
serts his authority. One at a time;
l have the floor now" are sentences
generally found sufficient for the most
self-opinionated of the ex.ministerial
brotherhood, With the poor hopeless
wretch news of way of escape from
his degradation are received with
eagerness, and with the skeptic won
to submission so far as to try 1.-THE
gospel remedy" there is comparatively
little difficulty. The tact, patience
and good judgment of the manager are
taxed in these interviews, upon which
largely depend the value of the Home
to the newcomer.
Once established in the family he is
expected to attend the Bible lesson
service in the morning. a prayer meet
ing held in the afternoon, prayers
morning and evening, place Of wor-
ship at least once every Sunday, and
the prayer and testimony meetings
held on Tuesday and Saturday even

former residents of the institution, and
to the Christian public. Grace is said
at all meals with reverent Formally.
In the aggregate these services seem
not to err on the side Of paucity, but
actually only small part Of the in
mates time is occupied by them.
The morning papers and the leading
magazines are provided for his use,
and good library of books. A piano
is at his service with the understanding
that he does not make it an assistance
to such frivohties as jig-dancing. AT.
ter short time of residence he is al.
lowed to take a walk morning and
evening, and to attend religious and
other meetings in the neighborhood.

Ismail plunged at once into the

opposite side till he came to two
bamboo-clumps close together, and
cropping in the water besides them
pulled up rope. He had his rea-
sons for what be did. Then placing
q stone in the shallow water with
the sharp side uppermost, and the
rope lying right across it, he van
ishe into the thicket.
An hour had passed since his dis
appearance, and night had already
set in when q dark figure came
creeping up to the same spot, and,
pulled at the half severed cord,
which instantly parted in his hand.
The man started, and held up the
broken ends to the rising moon,
but finding them rough and frayed
as if by constant rubbing, and
feeling the sharp-edged stone lying
just beneath, he appeared satisfied
that it must have been an accident
and knelt down to knot the cord to-
gather.
So engrossed was the villain
with his treacherous work that he
never lifted his head to look around
him, but even had he been less pre-
occupied he would scarcely have

figure rose behind him as suddenly
as if it had started through the
earth, and a tremendous blow from
a heavy bamboo club falling upon
mis- bowed head like q thunderbolt,
felled him senseless to the earth.
That very night the crestfallen
robber was sent off to the nearest
British station, escorted by strong
guard of native policemen, to be
tried and executed, as he deserved,

LOVE OF TOOLS.

The boy who is naturally clever
in the use of tools is sure to make
glitter" in the house; but the pro-
ducts of his industry compensate
one for that. All the children in
the family and all Of the neigkoor's
children come in for share. They
blow his whistles, sail his boats
fly his kites, spin his tops, play on
his cornstalk fddles, and use bis
pop-guns, squirt guns, bow and ar.
rowe, and various nondeseript. And
how useful to mother, if she
knows how to manage him! Pre-
vide the mechanical boy with a
place to work in, and tools to
work with-a few at 8 time-and
as he acquires skill in their use, he
will turn it to practical account, in
closets with shelves, repairing door
knobs, making sets OF bookshel7es,
putting more drawers in the China
closets, making spice boxes, WORK
boxes, spool stands, brackets and
picture frames and thousand and
one knick knacks, to adorn the
house, and add to its convenience,
especially if you inclade a scroll
saw among his tools. OF course
your children are destined to dis
tinguish themselves in some way
before the world. 1t will be no
less an honor to have a great me-
chanical engineer or inventor IN
your family than to have a distin.
guished scientist, jurlst, author or
musician. If it does not come to
that, a good machinist will be quite
as creditable to you as book, keeper
or clerk. Even if his liking for
mechanics turns ont to be only
boys notion and not an indication
Of genius, or even Of talent, no harm
can come from it's indulgence, and
at least this much will result, that
your boy will be while the whim

THE QUEENS EXECUTION.
Err. .-..

The late William Marwood, the
queens executioner, was born at
Gouleeby, near Hornscastle, Eng.
land, about sixty-three years ago,
says the New York World, and
resided there up to the time of his
death. He was man of fine ply
sique, about five feet eight inches
tall, and weighed nearly 180 pounds.
He received good education, and
was Wesleyan preacher previous
to assuming the position of hang
man. He was o man of pleasing
address, with iron gray hair, and
his appearance was very unlike the
ideal hangman. Marwood succeed
ed the celebrated Calcraft as public
executioner, and since assuming
the position has hanged more than
100 persons, among them fs-
males. ...r ..- e. .
The way in which Marwood
became hangman is interesting.
Twelve years ago, when Calcraft
was retired, Marwood went before
the government medical depart
ment and asked for the position,
saying that he had system by
which he could cause instantaneous
death to the condemned, and being
quite an anatomical student he
convinced the department that his
system was superior to Calcrafts,
and be was given the place. His
first hanging was that of a man
named Horny, who had been con.
victed of wife murder. On another
| occasion be hanged four sailors
who had committed murder on the
high seas. lie also had charge OF
the hanging of the men condemned
to death for implication in the
Phoenix Park murders. Marwood
was a most peculiar man and was
of the opinion that any man hanged
by any other than his system was
victim of cruelty. His knowledge
of anatomy led him to change the
ropes used by Calcraft, and he Of
ten asserted that q man hanged by
him suffered no pain.
When Calcraft was public execu'
toner he used a rope but three feet
long, and when he had drawn the
| bolt it was his custom to seize, the
hanging mans legs aud swing on
them until certain that death had
ensued. THAT" said Marwood on
one occasion, sled me to increase
the length of tie rope to nine feet
which length secures much better
result. The way / do it the neck is
quickly dis!ocatei, the spinal cord
broken and the air pipes closed,
Thus the lungs cease to perform
their functions, and artificial apo
plezy is produced so that death is
almost instantaneous"

country, and while in New York
