Electricity and the Lash.

Electricity has been suggested as a means of capital punishment, and now a French scientist has obtained patent to apply it as substitute for the cat-o'-nine tails in corporal punishment. The cul- prit, having been undressed, is securely strapped to steel triangle, which is connected with one pole of powerful battery. The other pole is connected with the whip, which consists of a num- Der of steel wires covered with a sponge. This whip is dipped in water before the stroke is administered, and wherever the wet wires touch an electric discharge takes place. Perhaps, after time, we may have convicts sentenced to take electric shocks, of graduated intensity, according to the heinousness of their crimes, in- stead of shutting them up in prisons. - " y.

Some Uses of Gloves,

The reign of Elizabeth may fairly be considered the turning point in the history of gloves. Through long years, and keeping line with the growth of re finement and courtesy, the glove had been invested first with one association and then another, given part and lot in this custom and that, until it had come to hold very prominent place in the economy of life. Both at weddings and funerals gloves were offered as gifts so commonly as to be made a recognized feature of the social ceremonial proper to those occasions. Either for peace and in favor, or defiant and in deadly anger, it has coma to be as binding upon ordi- nary transactions as a written deed, and as evident of purpose as if the presence of its owner had enforced its evident in- tent. Particularly as token of love, as though it gave in pledge the hand and regard of a fair lady, or as cartel of war, threatening so much of the vengeful punishment as the hand it had covered could inflict, did the glove play its part in times when both these sentiments were especially cherished and avowed. It was made the @gis of trade, ensuring to chapman and chaffering purchasers of the wares they offered peace and protection; and in agree ments of greater moment the glove was made witness of a promise gwen and the pledge of it's fulflmcnt The dona- tion of land to church, and some times even the offer of bodily service, was made good by the placing of a glove upon the altar; and in the trans fer of land-or, in occasional instances, of kingdoms-a glove was made verti- b!e lease by virtue of which possession was taken and held. As securing safe passage, like a passport; as an offer ot amity, like as though a friendly shake of the hand were proffered; even as a bribe, when it was often ''linedn wi h good gold pieces, to tempt men from their allegiance, or induce them to view a suit favorably, the glove had many 2 momentous message to convey, many an important negotiation to open or to bind. .-Magazine of Art.

The Handwriting of Royalty.

Those who have received letters from the queen, and their number is great among literary men and women, know, says an English journal, that her majesty writes firm, angular-and, indeed, al- most masculine-hand. Occasionally it is somewhat illegble, but, as rule, the queens caligraphy is clear and distinct. The queen uses plain cream-laid note paper, with narrow bl ack border. Her private letters are such @ any we'll edu. ~cated lady would pen,. and any ,aneawho had not been inf formed as to their author ship, and who did not see the superscrip- ton and signature, would not guess that they were the queens.
 Of late years Sir Henry Ponsonby has Still, a letter from the queen, with DOT. trait of herself and Prince Albert, has been received by many, in whom or in whose work her majesty takes interest, during the last twenty years. The queen always signs letters "Victoria R.
 
 The Prince of Wales is not in the or dinary sense of the word good writer. His caligraphy would not commend itself to the merchant or accountant. But, for the matter of that, neither Glad stone nor Lord Salisbury is very legible penman, and as for Lord Halsbury, the present lord chancellor, his letters are quite illegible to the uninitlated. So bad is his writing, indeed, that he gene rally uses typewriter.
 But if the Prince of Wales writes badly the princess atones for his short comings in this respect, for her letters might be placed before every girls school in the country as models of feminine cali graphy. It is not the monotonous round and upright or "backward sloping' writing so much affected by the girl oi the period. It is clear, artistic hand of the old school.

Ages of Chinese Children.

The Chinese do not reckon their age from the day of their birth, but from New Years day. It is on this account sometimes difficult to find out the true age of young children. Here IS a tiny shaven-headed bundle of humanity, scarcely able to stand alone for mo- ment, and you are gravely assured that he is three years old! If you have left the sacred rules of propriety at home, you venture mildly and politely to cast just faint shadow of doubt upon the state- ment; or if you do not discredit the pa- rents assertion, but are still unacquaint- ed with the mode of reckoning, you probably condole with it's parents on the slight degree of progress he has made to- ward maturity. Should child arrive in this world at ii. 55 on New Years eve, the fond father will proudly assure you the next morning that the new arrival is two years old, and never so much as think that what he says is untrue.- Brooklyn Magasine

MT. George B. Loring, in an address before the New England Agricultural Society, of which he is Presid mt, made exceptions to the use of the term "thor- oughbred" in connection with any other animal than the horse. He said: "A thoroughbred animal means horse. A thoroughbred horse is just as much 8 specific breed of horse as an Arab, a Nor gan or Percheron, or anything else, and the use of thoroughbred in this connec- tion is entirely unworthy an intelligent and literary society. The term should be pure bred.' Let us abandon the use of the term. If you have pure bred Shorthorn, or pure bred Devon, or a pure bred Morgan, it is not a thorough bred animal. They talk about thorough bred pigs now! The word never applies to anything except race of horses bred in England for speed. So hope the trustees, when they make up their list another year, will put in pure bred in- stead of 'thoroughbred.'

 "Well, now, what do you think2 For more than ten years that man Talbot has been riding constantly between Buff falo and Chicago, Buffalo and Cleveland, or Buffalo and Toledo. He was never alone. He always had "a friend' with him. The friend was usually some com mercial traveller. In short, Talbot has made railroad riding his regu' ar busi- ness. He made arrangements with various wholesale and jobbing houses to carry their men, and booked his engage ments months ahead sometimes. When these failed he picked up stray passen- gers here and there. After sspsying his sleeping car and othes expenses he had $6 or $S day left as clear profit, and out of these profits he managed to amass a snug little fortune. He tried to use his pass on the limited express, but the com pany wouldn't have it. In fact, they wanted to refuse to carry him altogether, but their lawyer concluded that the suit for damages would be too expensive. Talbot is dead now, though greatly to the regret of several travelling salesmen. {" -Chicago Herald

NapOleOn and tho ViOIets.

It was three days before going to Elba that Napoleon chose the violet as his emblem. He was walking in the garden of Fontainebleau, accompanied by the Duke Bassano and General Bertrand. He was still undecided whether to accept exile, and was discus sing to that effect with his companions, when he espied little boy, the son of the head gardener, picking some violets and making them into bunch. ''Will YOU give me those fowers2" he asked. Yes, sire, with pleasure, was the answer. "Gentlemen," said Napoleon, ''the meeting with the child is providential {; perhaps the flowers are a hidden com mand from Gol, may be to initiate their modesty. Henceforth they shall be the emblem of my desires" His courtiers could not prevail upon him to change his decision. During the time he re- mained at Fontainebleau he constantly carried a bunch of violets. The story leaked out. From that time the troops named him Father Violet. Then it fil- tered to the people, and in the violet season they all carried it as rallyine token.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

TalbOt'S Long Head.

''The Lake Shore folks were awfully glad when a certain man died up in Buff falo the other day." said a conductor. s'The mans name was Talbot. About twelve years ago Talbot saved train from going into washout near his farm, and of course the company felt very grateful. P. P. Wright, Superintendent of the Buffalo division, sent for him and loaded him with thanks for himself and the company. Talbot modestly declined money present of $500, but said he didn't object when Wright proposed making out for him pass good for the remainder of his life. While Wright was writing out the pass Talbot in- quired:
 " Say, MT. Wright, have you any ob- jections to making that read good for mo and friend2 I may want to take a friend up to Cleveland with me some time to see an uncle of mine.'
 Wright was so full of gratitude that he couldn't object to anything, and the man got his pass. good for himself and

Olive Oil.

Olive oils got from the ripe fruit, and the fper the better, even to the verge of decay, said an importer of the article to a New York Tribune representative. After the fsuit has been gathered it is placed in large sacks, and then subject cd to a heavy pressure. The percentage of oil is large, varying according to the species of the fruit, and usually runs from 40 to 60 per cent. The odor is pungent when first pressed, but this tones down in a short time, and when the oil is ready to be put up into packages it is agreeable. The best oil comes from the first pressing. The refuse is also made to produce several lower grades, by sub- jecting it to repeated pressures. The finest gradods expensive and the market for it is limited. Those who use the cheaper oil are satisfied with it, because they do not know there is any better. Just let a person get taste of the first grade and he will have that forever after or none. Germans have great fond ness for oil, and the trade is principally among them.
 Inever could understand why the olive tree is not cultivated more in the South. The climate and soil in many places arc suitable for it's growth. It requires little care, bears in few years is hardy and it is said that it neve, dies. It is said that there are olive trees, old, bent and scraggly, but fruit bear ing, near Jernsalem, which were there in the Saviour's time. There is no doubt about their living to great age, and it ought to pay to raise them. Cotton seed is used as an imitation of the olive or to adulterate it. It is rank substitute and has not the slightest flavor of the olive. It has large sale, and grocers unblush- ingly sell the slimy stuff as olive oil. It may be that it is done ignorantly, but ] have strong suspicion that there is more money in it than in olives. It is more fit for lamps and machinery than for the human stomach, though its effect is harmless.

Wonderful Lake Tahoe.

The lake has great depth and clear ness. The soundinss have been made at 1, 845 feet, and small white object can be seen 16O feet below the surface. Strong sunlight will penetrate the water to distance of 600 feet. The tcmpera- ture 200 feet deep is 4s degrees, at 500 is Al degrees, and at 15oo is 39 degrees. The bodies of drowned people never rise, and it is supposed that the cold is so great on the lake's surface that no de- composition takes place, consequently there are no gases generated. The col- oring of the lake varies in intensity, but is generally a deep rich blue. Near shore the hues are lighter than where the water is deep and the dividing line be. tween the two shades is strongly marked. .-Sa7a Francisco Chronicle.

An OK and His Master.

An OK, whose master had a fine field of corn, determined to enter the enclosure for feast, although he had no com plaints to make of the provender daily placed before him. He took advantage of night to break into the field and eat his fill, but scarcely had his greed been satisfied when he was taken violently ill, and his bellowings called forth the mas ter, who said:
 ''Had it been safe for you to eat corn at this season of the year, I should have placed it before you. Your ignor. ance and greed have placed your life in danger"
 Moral: Still, when boy of about four years old wants to pick up hornet butt-end first, and can't be convinced that there is anything but fun in it, the best way is to let him branch out fol himself. He'll rise higher and como down with a harder bump. Detroit Free Press.

SOQp from SWint.

Until recently all experiments to make soap from swint (grease of wooD have signally failed. The waste in the cleans ing of wool is nearly 50 per cent, and as the grease constitutes the greater part of the waste, it's value, if utilized, can readily be seen. Practically no use has been made of it heretofore, and it has been allowed to flow into and contami- nate rivers and streams. A French chem ist has demonstrated that commercial soap can be made from swint by treating It with certain composts of sulphur. The operation is complete in less than an hour and the cost is nominal. The pro- duct obtained is not toilet soap, but it is claimed that to great extent it will take the place of the sulphurctted com posts now used in agriculture and vine culture, in hospitals and institutions, and in cases of contagious epidemics.
