Death from Hanging Said to BE Free

DIR. Taylor states that "death from
hanging appears to take place rapidly
and without causing any suffering tc
the person. Prof. Tidy, also, speaks
of the painless nature of death from
hanging; while Prof. Haughton, in his
paper read before the Surgical Society
of Dublin, says that "the old system Of
taking convict's life by suffocation is
inhumanly painful, unnecessarily pro.
longed 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 the fact that many cases Of suicide
are not completely suspended, and that
if they wished they could easily relieve
the construction by assuming the erect
posture, and in other cases Of recovery
from attempted suicide by hanging,
there is no recollection of any suffering.

The Barley Crop of Iceland.

1t is generally supposed that the
north arctic zone is extending, and proof
is assumed in the increase of ice on the
eastern shores of Greenland. and in the
fact that barley, which was successfully
grown in Iceland from its first settle
incnt in $40 down to the middle of the
fifteenth century, is no longer cultivated
there. The Icclandic Government have,
however, lately attempted to grow bar
ley in the island on considerable scale,
and the results were very favorable

zone, was planted and fit for cutting in

Salt Lakes in Afghanistan.

Sir Peter Lumsden's paper on his ex.
periences in Afghanistan, read before
the Royal Geographical Society, in
London, contains an account of the
curious lake upon which the Tekke
Turcomans are dependent for their sup.
plies of salt. This lake is six miles
square, is situated at an elevation OF
about fourteen hundred feet above the
sea-level, and is surrounded on all sides
by a steep precipitous descent. The
yield of salt is practically unlimited for
the bed of the lake is one solid mass of
level rock salt, covered only by an inch
ortwo of water, the depth of the deposit
being unknown. A second lake fur
nishes the Saryks IF Penjdeh with salt
This lake is much larger than the one
just described, and the salt in it does
not present such q smooth unbroken
surface. The salt is dug out in the form
of flakes about four inches in thickness,
which are packed into bags and carried
on camels to market without any kind
of preparation. Y Post.

Openwork brass lamps are most fash

Olive wood is fashionable just at pres

Brass bedsteads are even more gener-

New artistic designs for embroidery

Five o'clock tea tables now form part
of the furniture of every well-appointed
parlor, and there never have been SO
many attractive designs imported before

There are many beautiful designs in
mahogany furniture of scarcely less
beauty than those of colonial days; the
only difference being tnat less glue is
used in their construction in the present

PERCHERON HORSES.

Said of Percheron Horses.

What the Commissioner of Agriculture
Said of Percheron Horses.
Hon. George B. Loring. Commission
er of Agriculture of the United States,
having promised to meet with the Perch
eron Horse Breeders of America, at
Chicago, Nov. Is, 1888, telegraphed as
follows: ~ regret exceedingly my in
ability to be with you. Am heartily in
sympathy with your position. Physi-
clan positively forbids my leaving the
house. My disappointment is greater
than yours. The Percherons are recog-
nized as distinct breed in France, and
are entitled to Stud Book there and in
this country as much as thoroughbreds,
and as much as any breed of cattle to a
herd book. Their introduction has
greatly improved the farm and draft
horses of this country, and will, I'M
doubtedly, improve the large carriage
and omnibus horses. think the pub
lication of Stud Book in both countries
will ultimately, in this case as in all
others, add greatly to the future value
of the breed" 1t is gratifying to know
similar sentiments are entertained by
some of the prominent importers. nota-
bly, among them, Mr.. NJ. W. Durham,
of Wayne, Illinois, who, buying none
but pedigreed stock, has done more to-
ward the introduction of the finest types
of the breed than, we might almost
say, all other men, having imported
nearly 1000 since 1872.

And all the sunny forests spread
Their fallen leaves, as hearts blood red, s,
A carpet lit for brides to tread
Oh, then's the time for wooing,

In its fell work. Miss Octavia was tossing
it in her arms one evening and calling it a
wOtsy-wotsy, when suddenly it made grab
at her hair. To Mr.. McWhOrter's horror it
came off, giving Miss Octavla's head the
appearance of having just been devastated
by cyclone. Setting the baby down hard,
she seized her wig and rushed off to her
room. At six o'clock next morning she
moved to another clearinghouse, and Mr..
New horter, a victim of woman's dupliclty,
took the false hair from his locket. The
nurse has since been charged by the mother,
in case OF Miss Octavia meeting the baby,
to refuse anything she might give it to eat
for fear that it contains arsenic.
Altogether opinion is divided upon the
baby in the room opposite to mine. Its
father declares that it is the handsOmest
child that he has ever seen, and mOdestly
adds that it is the living image of himself.
