Connecticut western news., 1886-10-27

Russia is peculiarly rich in surprising sects and associations, but the most as- founding is one lately brought to light bearing the ominous title of 'The Red Death" Its members affect to believe that he who consciously permits another to suffer prolonged pain commits mortal sin. In order to abbreviatc tho suffer ings of humanity it is a matter of con- science with them to kill the sick, that they may be put out of their pain quick. ly. The association takes its name from the fact that its cxecutioners, dressed in red for the occasion, strangle their vic- tims with red cord, placing them fol the purpose upon red catafalque, be- heath the dull redlish light of an oi- lamp. This strange and horrible associ- ation was brought to light by the cner- getic opposition int rposcl by man in Saratoi when his mother and sister at. tempted to stranglc his sick wife. He called in the authorities, who have al- ready arrested some forty members of the murderous ct Their organization seems to be transferenco from India tc Muscovite soil of the worship of B9h

Killing an Alligator.

A gentleman who spends his winter in Florida told the writer the following story on himself: "Coming down to tho bank of the bayou one afternoon saw an alligator summing its ugly carcass ill my way and sent bullet into the vulner- able spot under its shoulder. Tho reptile stirred lazily and slid off into the water. Amazed at the slight effect produced Iwent away in disgust. As I paddled about the next day in my boat near the spot discovered the same alligator in the same spot on the bank and directly in front of it wild turkey. wanted the fowl for my supper and 1 disliked to think the alligator had beaten me. Poising my rife l hesitated an instant between the demands of pride and appetite, and, deciding to kill tho 'gator, banged away. The turkey flew off with screech and the 'gator never budged. By this time I was 'maddc1 than battcn' and paddled up to stir up bis laziness, when a reckless poke revealed that I had been shooting a dead carcass. The shot of the day be- fore had got in its work and the alli- gator had crawled out Gas is their habit) to die in the sun. Then I wished had shot at the turkey "--Detroit Free Press.

Mrs. Whites Snake Skir.

Mrs. John White, living few miles from this village, has mounted rattlesnake skin, four feet and half long, with an imperfect set of rattles in the tail, which she is proud to show to visitors, while relating how the snake, when alive, chased her. although involuntarilyssz nearly half mile, and kept up the chase even after it was dead. Mrs. White MS; MS standing by the roadside one warm day, when she heard rattlesnake sound it's ''bells' immediately behind her, and at the same time felt tug at the skirt of her dress. She looked around quickly and saw that big rattlesnake had struck at her, and that its fangs were fast in the bottom of her dress. Mrs. White started on a run for home. The snakes fangs were so securely fastened in the dress that the snake was carried along. Mrs. White ran so fast that the rattlesnake was whipped and snapped about like the tail of kite.
 The house was almost half mile away, and when Mrs. White reached her door she was so much overcome by the run and her fright that she tainted on the doorstep. Her daughter ran out. When she saw the snake, with its fangs fast in her mothers dress, and her mother ly- ing pale on the step, she supposed the snake had bitten her mother and killed her, and the girl ran screaming to a neighbours, half mile further on, where she alarmed the household with the news that her mother had been killed by a l rattlcsnake. A man ran back to Whites. Mrs. White had revived sufficiently to drag herself into the house. The snake was dead, and still fast in the dress. The threshing on the stones and against the ground had beaten the life out of it and broken off the lower part of its rattles. Seven were left, from the size and grada- tion of which it was calculated that the perfect set contained at least thirteen. The snake was skinned and mounted, and has ever since been an object of great curiosity in the community. The shock to Mrs. White prostrated her for several days.-New York Sun.

Effect of Tea on Health.

The consumption of tea has become so enormous as to have suggested study of its effects upon the health of the people. There are those who look upon it as an evil only second to that connected with the excessive use of alcohol. Tea is spoken of as an agreeable cerebral stimu- lant, quickening intellectual operations, removing headache and fatigue, and pro- noting cheerfu!ness and sense of we'll being. When it is used 10 excess the digestive and nervous systems are epec- ially affected. There is no doubt that there are cases of dyspepsia caused by the inordinate use of strong tea; and it is also matter of common observation that sleeplessness, palpitation of the heart, and nervous irritability often fol- low the prolonged use of this beverage. Tea-drinkers, by which we mean those who use tea to excess, are to be found in all classes of society. The fact should be impressed upon such persons that tea is not food and cannot, therefore, with out risk to health, be substituted for ar ticles of diet which form both flesh and Gv.e.

A Story About aSerial.

A lady of some literary distinction, re- siding in Boston, was engaged to write serial story which was to appear in in stalments in certain publication every month. The publisher bought pig in a poke, but knowing the ladys talent and experience as writer of stories, he ran the risk. The story ran along for seve- ral numbers, and fully satisfied the pub lisher's and editors expectations. But after some twenty instalments had ap- peared the publisher came to the con. clusion that he was getting rather too much of good thing, and so the lady was requested to cut the story short and print it in one more number. This the lady resolutely declined to do. So what were the publisher and his editor to dos They put their heads together and an outsider was employed to dispose of all the characters in the book, marry them, slay them, or send them into oblivion, as the exigencies seemed to rcqAire, but all in asingle chapter. The indignation of the lady who had written all but thc last chapter of the story can be better imagined than described when the final instalment appeared in the publication. She brought suit for damages against the publisher, naturally enough, but it never came to trial, as it was satisfactorily settled out of court. t.-Boston Herald.

Hunting Gu!ls.

The gulls, and there are millions o1 them about the mouth of the St. Croix, furnish profitable sport for the Indians. They take their soft, beautiful breasts to the watering places and sell them at 75 cents to $1. 50 each to the ladies for mill linery and decorative purposes. Gulls are easy game to bag, but for some unknown reason they stay on the Canadian side oi the line the most of the time, and the Canadian authorities have forbidden Americans to shoot at them in the Pro- vincial waters. This is great griev- ance to the gull hunters, who have peti- toned the governor of Maine and his council to take some action in the mat ter. The course of the Canadians is believed to grow out of the fisheries im- broglio. o.-Lepistoaon (Me) Journal.

One of the most remarkable human GU

One of the most remarkable human cu- rosities ever seen has just been exam ined by M. de Quatrefages, the French naturalist. He is Provincial named Simeon Aignier, and is thirty years old. Aignier, thanks to his peculiar system of muscles and nerves, can transform him. self in most wondrous fashion. At one moment, assuming the rigidity of a statue, his body may be struck sharply, the blows falling as on a block of stone. At another he moves his intestines from above and below and right and left into the form of large football, and projects it forward, which gives him the appear ance of colossally stout parsonage. He then withdraws it into the thoraX open ing like cage, anl the hollow look of his body immediately reminds one of a skeleton. Aignier successfully initiates Q man subjected to the tortures of the rack, as also man hanging himself, and assumes a strikingly cadaverous look. What most astonished M. de Quatrefages was the stoppage of the circulation of the blood, now on the left and now on the right side, which was effected by muscular contraction.
