cdr. Taylor states that "dcath from
hanging appears to take place very rap.
idly, and without causing any suffering
10 the person. Professor Tidy, also,
speaks of the painless nature of death
from hanging; while Professor lIaugh-
ton, in his paper read before the surgical
cociety of Dublin, says that the old
system of taking convict's life by suf-
location is inhumenly painful, unncces-
,arily prolonged, and revolving to those
whose duty it is to be present" Those
who speak of the painless nature of
death by strangulation arrive at this
conclusion from he fact that many cases
Of suicide are not completely suspended,
and that if they wished they could
easily relieve the construction by asSum
ing tho erect posture, and in other cases
of recovery from attempted suicide by
hanging there ia no recollection Of any
suffering. 1t should be remembered,
however, that there is great difference
between the mental attitude of the sui
eide and one who ls about 10 suffer the
extreme penalty Of the law. la the
former case he is regardless, and per-
haps also not very sensitive, of II little
suffering, while inthc latter every nerve
is braccd up TO resist the inevitable re-
suit. Moreover in those cases Of rccov
cry the loss of recollection Of suffering
does not prove that there Mas none. 1t
might a most rs we'll he said that, be
cause in many cases of recovery from
meningitis there was no remembrance of
any suffering, therefore there was none.
No doubt, the pain in hanging can under
no circumstances be very acute, yet
when we see a cuIprt hcaving his chest
and almost raising the whole body in
his Struggles for breath we must con
clude that there is at least q considcra-
BILE amount of mental torture. -Pvpultt

We are asked the value of butter
milk for swine and calves, and why it
is not considered as safe to feed with
out any additional food, as skinned
milk. Buttermilk, if in good condi-
tiion, has value very similar to
skinned milk. 1t is slightly richer in
fat, having | per cent, and slightly
less albuminOd matter. 1t is figured
at twenty-five cents per 100 pounds,
1t will produce a rapid growth on
calves and pigs, if it does not derange
the stomach. But buttermilk is apt
to be in strong condition of fermen-
tation. This very soon produces a bad
form of scours, which, unless taken
quickly, may end fatally. 1t is hardly
safe to feed buttermilk without mix
ing one-hall pound of finished mid
dlings (what farmers call "canel') per
gallon of buttermilk. If it is quite
sour it should be boiled with the mid
dlings. The heat will neutralize the
acidity, but it will not be as valuable
as before fermentation has eaten up
some of the food clements We often
recommend keeping u little lIax-sced
on hand for use in checking scours,
and it will be most useful here. Boil
one quart of llaX-seed in six quarts of
water. This will become like jelly.
Stir little of this boiled IlaX-seed into
the ration of each calf, or into that for
several calves or pigs. The emollient
effect of this is very soothing to the
stomach. Feeders should not consider
a few bushels of llaX-Seed as adding to
expense, for it is worth all it costs,
fed in small quantities, as promoting
rapid growth. We always use this
instead of linseed oil, for there is dam
ger of getting impure oil, but the seed
can be relied upon.-Nahonal Licc

II is in Siam, in Amman and in Co.
chin China that this extraordinary
custom is carried to its greatest devel-
opment. The nails on the second,
third and fourth fingers attain y
length of from four to five inches
They are straight with slight inward
curve, and they present the appearance
of immense claws and talons, which
we could imagine might be of use to
man in his most savage state for
scratching up the ground to find roots
or seeds, but certainly do not appear
adapted for either use or ornament
under any OF the ordinary incidents Of
life. The nail of the thumb is hard
" so long as those of the other dgits.
1t at first grows nearly straight, with
also a tendency to curve inward, and
presently takes the form of an elonga-
ted spiral, and must almost entirely
prevent the use of the thumb as an
organ of prehension.
On the first finger alone is the nail
kept within reasonable bounds, and
with this only must be performed all
those innumerable trilling acts which,
taken together, add greatly to our
comfort and we'll being. 1t sometimes
happens that the nails are allowed to
grow to a great length to Indicate
that the wearer leads religious life,
and has foresworn at once the labOrs
and frivolties of the world. The
hand of Chinese ascetic, leading such
an indolent and wasteful existence,
presents the most extraordinary spec
tacle The nail of the first finger is,
indeed, as in the case OF Annamese al
ready described, left sufficiently short
to render the finger of some practical
purpose. The other fingers, are, how
ever, disGgured by immense horny
growths, which can scarcely be called
nails, and which reach the enormous
length of from sixteen to eighteen
inches"

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Train Fruit Trees Low.

There was some excuse when thC
country was new and the first land
cleared was planted with fruit trees,
for training tree tops high, so as to be
out of the way of the horses in plough
ing or to grow crops under them. But
we have long since learned that nc
crops grown under trees pay their
cost. 1t would be better still if teams
could not get within ten feet Of the
trunks, and weeds or grass beneath
them were kept down by mulching.
Low tops are more convenient for
gathering fruit, and are less liable to
be blown off by severe winds. A low
top is easily kept in proper shape, as
it is not necessary to procure high lad
ders to do the required pruning. Low
tops also protect the trunk from in
jury by exposure to sudden variations
in temperature. They are peculiarly
valuable in regions of severe frost, as
they protect the stem and branches
from the rays of the sun, which melt
the frost in the tree to suddenly.

Kerosene and crude petroleum are
gaining favor among fruit growers as
excellent and cheap Insecticides. Eli
ther the crude or the refined oil may
be used, but in all cases it should be
employed in an emulsion made with
soap and water. The proper proper
ton of the material is: Kerosene, two
gallons; common soap, one-half pound,
and water, one gallon: The soap and
water should be boiling hot and the
kerosene added: then churn the mix
ture until it forms an emulsion of
about the consistency of cream.
When it is applied to the infested
plants, dilute with cold water, varying
the strength according to the species
of insects to be destroyed. The soft
skinned species, like the mealy bugs
and aphides, will be destroyed by u.s.
ing one part Of the emulsion to TWEEN
ty or thirty parts of water; but when
it is applied to the bark lice or scale
insect, it may be diluted about ten to
fifteen times. Kerosene cmulSions are
the best known insecticides for the
various minute pests affecting the or
