Reconsideration After Hanging.

From the st. James Gazette.
Few criminals sentenced to death
have so narrowly escaped execution
as Lee, the convicted murderer OF Miss
Keyse, who, as Sir Villa / Harcourt
announced in the house of commons
last night, has been respited during
her maiesty's pleasure" There have,
however, been some remarkable cases
OF resuscitation after supposed eXecu-
ton. Among these, one of the most
singular was that of Margaret Dixon,
the wife OF a fisherman, hanged in Ed
nburgh in 1928 for the murder of a
child. After execution her body was
cut down and delivered to her friends,
who put it into coffin and sent it in
a cart to be buried at ernative place,
Musselburgh. The weather being sui
try, the persons who had the body in
their care stopped to drink at avillage
called Pepper Mill, about two miles
from Edinburgh. While thus refresh
ing themselves one of them saw the
COtlin-Ed move, and a moment later
Mrs. Dixon sat up, to the horror Of
the spectators, most of whom ran off
in great trepidation. A man who was
drinking at the public-house, and was
not scared at the spectacle, had self
possession enough to bleed her She
was then put to bed, and by the fol-
lowing morning was so far recovered
as to be able to walk to her own
house. By the law of Scotland, having
been executed, she could not again sui
fer the penalty, and was totally ex-
culpated, but the kings advocate filed
a bill in the high court of judiciary
against the sheriff for emitting to full
fill the law. Mrs Dixon was in all re-
spects fortunate, for her husband re-
married her publicly few days after
she was hanged, and it is to be hoped
that she gave him no cause to regret
this evidence Of his devotion. Another
curious case OF resuscitatiOn was that
of William Duell, hanged at Tyburn
for murder on the 9th of November,
174O. After the execution his BODY
was taken to Surgeons HallfOr dissec-
ton. Symptoms of life being observed
the supposed corpse, one of the sur
geOns took some ounces OF b God from
him, the result being that in two
hours he was able to sit up in a chair
In the evening he was again taken to
Newgate, and his sentence was subse-
! quently changed to transportation A
very painful scene arising from inn
/ proper management of an execution
took place at Newgate on the 5th OF
June, 1897, when two men, by name
Clench and Mackley, We're hanged for
murder. Before the caps We're drawn
over the eyes Of the unhappy men the
| platform suddenly went down with the
two clergymen, the executioner, and
his assistant The Catholic priest who
attended Clench being, it is said, every
lusty, suffered most, but not materi-
| ally" 1t would have been well if this
accident had put a stop to the hang
| ing, for the men, as was afterward
/ proved, We're innocent of the crime OF
| which they had been convicted.

An Enterprisin9 Boy.


One OF the most promising CT the
younger artists in Boston has a
wealthy father who opposed his sons
art aspirations, and wanted him to
devote himself to business instead.
The boy, however, was determined to
study art abroad, and finally com
promised. He was a large western
dealer in cattle, and sold his son on
credit, but at pretty stiff market
price, a small herd of choice cattle,
with the stipulation that the boy
should take them to Liverpool to
sell. The profits on the transaction,
if any, he could have to pay his ex-
penses while studying abroad, but if
he lost money he should return home
and 90 into business.
The boy brought the cattle to Bos-
ton, shipped them from here to Liver
pool, going on the same steamer with
them, reached that port in nire days,
struck a good market, sold out in one
day at a big profit, cabled a check to
his father for the amount of his loan,
and in less than week, with the prof
its OF the transaction in his pocket,
was in Paris studying, where he was
able to remain two years. His pluck
and his present success has so pleased
his father that the latter nov says:
eco back and continue your studies
whenever you get ready, and call on
me for what funds you want"

COMFY A WOMAN"

Only woman, shriyeled and old,
The prey OF the winds and the prey OF the cold
Cheeks that are shrunken,
Eyes that are sunken,
Lips that were never o'erbOld.
Only a woman fOrsaken and poor,
Asking aims at the bronze church door.
Hark to the organ: Roll upon roll,
The waves Of the music 90 over the soul!
Silks rustic past her,
Thicker and faster;
The great bell ceases its toll.
Fain would she enter, but not for the poor
Swingeth wide open this bronze church door.
Only a woman In far-Off days
Hope caroled to her happiest lays;
Somebody missed her,
Somebody kissed her,
Somebody crowned her with praise,
Somebody faced up the battles OF life
Strong for her sake was mother or wife
Somebody lies with a tress of her hair
Light on his heart where the death shadows are
Somebody waits for her,
Opens the gates for her,
.Iives delight for despair,
Only a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. poor

Variety for Hogs.

If the farmer has made no provision
for feeding his hogs other than corn,
let him give them clover hay. This
may cause the exclusive corn-feeder to
smile but he should remember that
this is not only a change OF food, but
that the clover contains the very ele-
ments thecorn lacks. Ii his hogs have
been so pampered that they have no
appetite for such food, then get a
breed which has, and let 'tearly ma
turity" mean, with him, a healthy
body, ready to slaughter. | care not
whether a pig weighs 100, 200 or 300
pounds, so long as this weight has
been made at a profit. Good appe-
titles are the result of good bodies, and
good bodies cannot be made without
a variety of food. With good APP
petites and strong digestion coarse
and cheap food can be utilized, and
herein is thebes basis for profit. Let
corn come in as an aid in fattening
swine, but not as the all in all in pig
feeding-F d. Curtis in american 1g-

An Excellent Plan

My old OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES way
Of making her children finish their
work. If they began thing, they
must complete it. If they undertook
to build a dollhouse, they must not
leave it until it was done, and nothing
of work or play to which they set
their hand would she allow them to
abandon incomplete. | sometimes
wish | had been trained in this way.
How much of life is wasted in un-
finished work! Many a man uses up
his time in splendid beginnings. The
labor devoted to commence ten things
and leave them useless would finish five
ofthem and make them profitable and
useful. Finish your work. Life is
brief; time is short. Stop beginning
forty things, and 90 back and finish
four. Put patient, persistent toll into
the matter, and, be assured, one com
pleted undertaking will yield yourself
more pleasure and the world more
profit than a dozen fair plans Of which
people say, "This man began to build
andwas not ableto finish. Christian

About Cents.

There is no nickel in a cent-piece
The alloy used in making that coin is
composed OF % per cent, OF copper
and > per cent. Of tin and zinc Its
intrinsic value is about one-tenth of a
cent. The report that counterfcits
are in circulation is doubted, as She
proftswould be small. Theoldpenny
was made OF pure copper and was in
trinsically worth one-third OF a cent.

But the same cause made that enter
prise failure. 1t needed too many

FARM. GARDEN AND HOME.
A True Story,

Where is the baby, grandmamma?
The sweet young mother calls
From her work In the cosy kitchen,
With its dainty Whitewashed walls.
And grandma leaves her knitting,
And looks Tor her all around;
But not a trace of baby dear
Can anywhere be found.
No sound OF its merry prattle,
No geam of its sunny hair,
No patter of tiny footsteps,
No sign of il anywhere.
All through house and garden,
Far out into the field,
They search each nook and corner,
But nothing Is revealed.
And the mothers face grew pallid;
Grandmamma'S eyes grew dim;
The fathers gone to the village;
No use to look for him.
And the baby lost? Where's RoVer?"
The mother CHANGED to think
OF the old well in the orchard
Where the cattle used to drink.
Where's Rover? l know he'd find her
Royer!' In vain they call,
Then hurry away to the orchard
And there by the moss grown wall,
Close to the well, lies Rover,
Holding to baby'S dress;
She was leaning over the wells edge
In perfect fearleSsneSsl
She stretched her little arms down,
But Rover held her fast
And never seemed to mind the kicks
The tiny barefeet cast
So spitefully upon him,
But wagged his tail instead,
To greet the frightened searchers,
While naughty baby said:
Dere's a little dirl in the alter;
She's dust as big as me,
Mamma; | want to help her out,
And take her home to tea.
But Rover, he won't let me,
And | don't love him. Go
Away, you naughty Revert
Oh! why are you crying so?"
The mother kissed her, saying:
My darling, understand,
Good Rover saved your life, my dear
And see, he ticks your hand
Kiss Rover" Baby struck him.
But grandma understood;
She said: Its hard to thank the friend
Who thwarts us for our good"

that the digestive organs are the grand alembic
in which the materials of the vital fluid are pre-
pared. When the stomach fails to provide
healthful nourishment for its dependencies they

evil is not arrested, viii be chronic and probably

Average Annual Cost of Living.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin
How many persons have even a
rough idea of the average sum upon
which by far the larger part OF the
citizens Of the United States are fed
clothed and housed? \ recent statis-
tician estimates that eighty per cent.
OF the population of this country is
supported by from forty-iive to fifty
cents per capita a day At the latter
figure this makes S164. 25 as the
average annual cost Of living: but as
by average we mean the balance
between extremes, there must be
many persons who have not even this
sum to live upon. That fifty cents n
day Is q generous estimate will be adj
mltted when it is remembered that
many mill operatives earn only from
five TO seven dollars a week, and that
the wages Of farm hands run from
twenty to thirty dollars a month. and
that on these sums several persons
are often supported. When it is re-
membered, too, that some other
human beings have a yearly income
equal to what is necessary for the sub
sistenCe OF 500 or 1000 OF these
average" mortals, the startling con-
trast between the extremes of our
modern society must be most evident
