Execution by Electricity.

A Leipzig engineer recently proposed
to employ electricity as a substitute for
the guillotine and the rope, and a
Swiss sauant now advocates its employ
ment for the infiction of lighter forms
of corporal punishment. M. Henri Ro.
get, Of Geneva, proposes to replace the
schoolmaster's rod by an electric ma
chine; the punishment to consist of q
certain number of sparks from it OF
greater or less intensity according to
the garvity of the o6ense. The particu-
lar advantage which he clamis for this
system is that it neither leaves mark
on the skin nor legacy of doleful
souvenirs behind it, rs the rod does.
The pain does not survive the actual
moment of infliction. 1t will, however,
be open to the advocates of flagellation
to retort that the persistence of the
painful impressions produced by the
application of the rod, so far from con-
stituting an objection to the existing
system. is one of its greatest recon-
mcndations. Pail Mall Gazette.

In selecting a dairy cow. the mos,
important is n good constitution, indi.
Gated by large lungs, stomach and di-
geslive capacity. She should come
from a good milking family, the eye
should be bright, muzzle broad nos
lrils thin and large. chest and lips
broad, legs fat, udder broad, milk veins
large, and head small.
No kind of siubble, except of clover,
ofwhich the root forms the principal
part, is worth anything as manure. Of
grain crops, especially. neither the
stubble above ground nor the root be-
low is worth regarding as fertilizer.
If the straw of grain stubble can be
burned, it 10 no waste to make this dis
posal of it.
A successful apiculturist will take
one strong swarm, and by fall have
four or five colonies from it and all
with honey to spare. BY the old sys-
tenn of natural swarming. only one
good swarm would be hoped for. If a
second or third came forth. they were
weaklings, and not worth saving.
Never change the location of hives
after the bees have commenced their
labors for the season, as before they
sally forth to the woods and fields they
mark well their surroundings and are
bewildered and often lost II their home
is removed during their absence to
another spot.
The farmers of South Carolina have
concluded that they can no longer raise
rice with profit. 1t is very difficult to
obtain reliable labor for the rice-felds.
During the last few years several other
cereals have come into use in the place
of rice. and the demand for it has de-
creased.
Nincty-six pounds of iron ore were
recently found attached to the end Of
lightning-rod removed from the

it is supposed that electricity attracted
the ore to the rod.

tilizing with bone and potash we may
secure in great measure exemption

DALLAS COUNTY's NEW MAP.

Work on the political map of Dallas
county, heretofore alluded to by the
HERALD, is steadily progressing but
instead of n joint effort of the fac
tons to get up one good reliable chart
for future reference the makers have
agreed to disagree, and follow the ex-
ample of Dallas in everything else,
and have two.
The Wellborn diagram, as before
intimated, represents the Gibbs lead
ers at the primaries transformed into
Kearby strikers with handsfull Of
mongrel tickets, besieging electors to
fill the ballot box with them on cleo
ton day, as a slight rebuke
to the Wellborn men for their
obstinate refusal to soften at
the Waxahachic convention. And
late returns from the COMPRESSION
al election have encouraged the Gibbs
men to bestow q few more strokes Of
the paint brush on their map, and con-
sign to outer political darkness the
city of Dallas, which knitted Abbott.
Wellborn's home ward, that turned
out majority for Kearby, is to be
turned adrift forever in the political
wilderness by which it is surrounded
Proceeding from the dark centre, rep
resented by Dallas, to the surrounding
country precincts, the twilight begins
to break in on the benighted vision,
which grows stronger until at last you
stand in the blazing midday sun OF
Democracy, where the yoemanry
rallied under the Gibbs banner :.
Individual leaders of bolts are dia-
grained off separately to suit
their several offenses, after the fashion
of separating words by diagram in the
qrammars according to their relative
Importance. :,
The work of embelishing is in able
hands OH both sides, the ingenuity. OF
the best political craftsmen having
been brought to bear on each side
Both maps, as far as completed, are
characterized by an exceeding dark
blackncss, calculated to shade The
Eryptian night of historic memory;
and, between the two, Dallas is well
nigh past redemption, politically, I'M
less the voters should rise in their
might and blot out the whole thing by
a liberal and free use of vermillion.
