The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1884-08-30

The members of the French Senate
have received from NJ. Charlton copies
of his proposition in reference to the
suppression of the guillotine. M. Char
ton demands the abrogation of the
twelfth article of the penal code, which
orders that every person condemned
to death shall have his head cut off,"
and in place of "the mutilation of the
convict's body" 'the employment-so
long as it may be thought impossible to
abolish punishment by death-of
physical or chemical agency sufficiently
powerful to destroy life instantaneous
ly." In spite of M. Charton's proposal,
the guillotine may be expected to con-
tinue its sapgunarY reign for some
years longer; and now that centennial
celebrations are so much in fashion it is
not improbable that in 1902 the hun
dredth year of its existence will be COM
memorated. 1t was the invention, as
every Que knows, of DR.. Guillntin; who,
in the memoir on the subject which he
presented to the National Assembly,
recommending its adoption, declared
that he had borrowed the idea from
machine of the same kind formerly en-
ployed in England. 1t was doubtless
inc uecaplIaI,hS macnlhe Known US
''the Maiden" used at one time in Scot
land, of which DR.. Guillotin was think
ing. He, in any case, improved in
various ways upon his model, which,
! by his own account, was very rough
Continuance indeed. A story (adapted
from that Of Phalaris and the brazen
bull) at one time got abroad to the eff
feet that DR.. Gu llotin was one of the
first to perish by the portentous inven-
ton which he had introduced for the
same humane motives as those which
animate NJ. Charlton in proposing to
replace guillotining by some still more
rapid process. DR.. Guillotin died, how
ever, natural death before the formi-
dable instrument named after him had
come into use st. James Gazette.

The Jute Industry.

The cultivation of jute in the south
ern states must ere long become an i'm
portant industry. The climate is favor
able, and the low, moist soils in all
the Gulf States, and such as are not
adapted to cotton, would make the
finest iute plantations in the world.
Jute fiber is now in great demand in all
civilized countries, and although many
millions of bales are annually exported
from India, a much larger quantity
would be used if it could be obtained
at a moderate price. We ought at least
to raise all that is required by our man
ufacturers, and we believe that it could
be produced with more profit to the
producer than is now derived from cot
ton culture. The cultivation of such
ber-yieldng plants as jute and ramine
must eventually become important in
dustries in this country although, farm
ers and land owners generally do not
appear to be anxious to try these staples.
the great value of which is unques-
toned in all the markets Of the world.

heads aud looked in ured.
They would 90 for walk; and it was
BY their fathers command that they
took an umbrella However, it was
lust dash of rain lasting long enough
to wet the girls.
III we had been under the big tree
where we wanted to stop they said,
there couldn't drop have touched
us
Much more of this kind they said; and
when the horse was rested. they started
homeward; father, sorry for his daugh-
ters' disappoin ment, remarked that, u
the woods were not too wet. they would
stop awhile.
Too wetr' said Emma. "Why it
hasn't raned twenty drops"
mo, indeed said Laura. But as
they rode along, the way grew muddier
and muddier, and it was evident that in
this direction the shower had been
heavy.
As last they came again to the great
old tree but what do you think had
happened? Why, the lightning had
been there, and torn the branches, and
uproo,ed part of the heavy trunk, and
ruined the beautiful tree.
"Oh, my!' said the mother.
That would have been certain death
to any one underit branches, said the
faith er; while the girls looked at each
other, and said not word.
That evening, while they were max
ing ready for the night, Emma said:
Father knew best, it seems
yes, indeedr" said Laura.
What a pity that they spoiled much
of their day by not remembering that
before!-PdnSy.

TIE TWO KEYS.

I slept and dreamed: and 10! seemed to see
An angel clad in white come unto me.
A glorious form with face rs sweet and mia
AS of mother bending Ger her cnild.
No fear felt l-such was the perfect peace
His presence gaVe-hut like as Joys increase
Till heart aud soul can bear no more, / gazed
Upon the vision Tor space; then raised
My voice and said "Why contest thou to
mer
In either hand Outstt G ched, then in voice
OF wondrous power and beauty: Take thy
choice"
He sad: II am the keeper of all hearts;
On all l Ak lock designed by arts
And vet these two which now bring to thee
Unlock them all. The name of one is Love;
The other Wealth. Love cOmeth from above,
or workmanship divine. But Wealth, you
know.
Is made of men ana cometh from below.
Though not alike, both sometimes fit one
heart;
But If, perchance, one fails. its counterpart
Is sure to fit and turn; To some men still
Thou mayest have but one. 'Tis thine to
choose
Which thou wilt have; but ponder, lest thou
lose
The better" Here the angel paused; but 1
With bated breath did instantly reply:
"Give me the key of LoveP' The angel
smiled
A wondrous radiant smile. "Be. happy,
child"
He said: flor thou has chosen what is best.
For where is love can come in all the rest"
took the key, and with his voice still ringing
in my ear
saw the vision slowly fade and slowly disap-
pear.
Then tell me, dear. has Loves own magic key

Why We Call the Cat "Puss.,

Did you ever think why we call the
cat pussP a great many years ago, the
people of Egypt worshipped the cat.
They thought the cat was like the moon,
because she was more active at night,
and because her eyes change, just as
the moon changes, which is sometimes
full, and sometimes a bright little cres-
cent, or half moon, as we say. Did
you ever notice pussy's eyes, to see
how they changer So these people
made an idol with cats head, and
named it Pasht, the same name they
give to the moon; for the word means
the face of the moon. That word has
been changed to pas or puss, the name
which almost every one gives 70 the
