Capital Punishment in Egypt.

a singularly primative way of carry
ing out sentence of capital punishment
was witnessed at Keech, the capital of
the province between this and Assiout
According to the law here the sentence
can be RENTED at the desire OF the
murdered mans family, their forgive
ness being probably purchased. In
this instance the prisoners family had
subscribed 80 pounds sterling toward
100 pounds sterling, VIII ich would have
been accepted had tho balance been
forthcoming from his friends. Howev-
er, it was not, SO at q. m. the con-
demned man was led to some very rude
gallows, under which he sat down in
the most enconcerned way, drinking
water, and altogether behaving as if he
was merely spectator instead of the
principal actor in the tragedy. He put
the rope around his own neck, the knot
being exactly in the back. An English
officer in the Egyptian army suggested
that it would be much better under
the ear, but his interference was re-
jected. The family of the unfortunate
man then advanced and implored his
Liberation at the feet of the mother and
brother Of the victim. The latter was
inclined to clemency, but the former
was quite obdurate, shouting loudly
that as he had killed her son he must
die for it. These parleys lasted over
an hour.
It is the custom that the nearest
male relative of the murdered man per.
forms the Office OF executioner; SO at
last the prisoner quietly stepped onto
a stool not two feet high, which the
brother pushed away from under him.
OF course this only caused him to be
strangled, his legs dragging on the
ground, SO a bystander took hold of
them and lifted them up, while the exc
cutioner, amid the bowls and groans OF
the crowd, shortened the rope, and then
had to escape as best he could.-Cor.

Not His Fault

A county treasurer in New Hamp-
shire was forced to acknowledge that
the county strong box was not only
empty, but that his books wouldn't
balance within $4,000. There was O
rumpus and an investigation, but the
treasurer carried serene expression
and was ready to answer all questions
1T really isn't my fault" he pro-
ceeded to explain "You know we want
q new bridge over Lickskillit Greek
I had hoped to build it without calling
on the taxpayers. That $4,000 went
70 buy wheat, and I calculated on q
profit of at least $4,000 on one DEAL
@And you lost all p
Every dollar. Wheat went right
down on me-"
"You might have known it, shrieked
one of his bondsmen.
"How? Do / control the wheat
market! I'm sorry, gentlemen, real
sorry, but / have the consolation OF
knowing that while my two bondsmen
lose $4,000, the toiling masses will
have the benefit of the decline in
wheat"

Cooperative Cotton Mills.

AS the South just now Is building so
many cotton mills, il might be
well to call attention to the fact that
the most prosperous mills in Great
Britain are those run on cooperative
principles at Oldham. The first coop
erative mill was established at that
town twenty years ago, the en-
ployes being given an interest in the
establishment and its earnings. Since
then cooperation has become more and
more common; and what was at first
an experiment is now an Acknowledged
success. There are to-day seventy one
cooperative cotton mills in Oldham
with s27 100000 of capital, operating
4,217,O 0S spindles, and selling $27 000,-
600 of goods annually. The outfit rep
resents more spindles than there are in
Russia, Italy, Spain, or Austria and
nearly as many as in Germany or
France.
England's ability to compete for the
cotton goods trade of the world is near
ly wholly due to these cooperative
mills, which, thanks to their economic
skill and management, have enabled it
to reduce the margin of possible profit
between the cost of cotton and the price
OF yarn over twenty per cent.
Cooperative mills are being erected
as fast as ever in Oldham, new compa-
mics, with 2,000,0 900 spindles and SO, $780,
600 of capital, having been organized
during the past year.
1t is scarcely necessary to point out
the distinguishing characteristic of
these cooperative mills aud the advan-
tages they possess. The strict super
vision of them, tho natural fidelity of
the operatives, who are interested in
their profits, are two very important
factors which have tended to make CO
operation so great success in England
We have never tried them in this coun-
try, although, as matter of fact, a very
large proportion of the stock of
Fall River mills is owned by the oper-
atives; but with the rapid development
OF this industry in the United States
the time cannot be far distant when we
will onioy tie advant oe' of co-opera-
tive mills, which encourage, stimulate,
and educate the operatives.-7 Times
