The "siielns Process" In China.

Owing 10 the absence Of wagon reads
and railways the Chinese depend upon the
rivers, canals and the ocean along the
coast for nearly all their carrying. Any
interruption TO the immense traffic and
travel OF these waterways would prove
very serious. IL is from this condition
Of affairs that piracy is considered one Of
the most heinous offenses. For this
crime death by the slicing process is the
penalty, The slicing mode OF execution
rivals any Of the flendish tortures prac-
ticed upon captives by our North Ameri-
can savages. There are degrees even in
this devilishness. There are deaths by
6, 10, 90, 30, 100, 1000 slices. The con-
demned person is fastened 10 a cross, and
then the executioner commences at the
eyebrows and cuts away such portions Of
the body as will not produce sudden
death by shock or bleeding Till there is
little more tissue b hack az. when he
opens the chest and tears out the heart.
was told by an Irish gentleman in
the Chinese imperial customs that he
once witnessed the slicing execution of
noted pirate, and he described il as hor-
rlble beyond Imagination. Another gen.
tleman had been present when a poor
woman had been sliced to death because
her husband had died suddeuly, and she
had been tortured into a confession of
having poisoned him. AT D her times
she had stoutly denied any la wledge of
the cause Of his death. HoN ever, she
had been condemned to this horrible
death, and she met her fate w.tl a resig-
nation and bravery which rs touished
those who saw it. The American who
was present described it as a mot horri-
bic sight, and one that returned 70 him

Tho JcurnaIi.t and the Publisher.

One thing, | fear, must always place
journalism at a disadvantage, compared
with other professions, such as law, art,
medicine, teaching and engineering. By
the very nature of the case, the writers
for the daily press can have little indie
pendent action. Speaking roughly. and
speaking Of the press as we find it now
in New York, and the other large cities
Of the United States, the publisher is
everything; the writer is nothing. The
most gifted and the most enlightened
journalist must Of necessity write to or
der, and, in very many instances, the
man who gives the order is the person
whom an enlightened and patriotic spirit
would least willingly obey, This appears
to be unavoidable. The man who has
created, bought or inherited a news
paper must either control or lose it. II
is his; he is the master; no power on
earth can nullify his right, and yet he
may be a person singularly unfit TO
WELD such an organ.
The newspaper is often a mere ap-
pendage 10 other enterprises, which the
owner deems far more important, and to
which the journal bears the combined
relation of COW and COW bell. feeder and
advertiser, But the newspaper belongs
to him; and all who write for it are, aud
must lie. his Oh yiient servants.-James
Parton in The v ritter.

There is scarcely day passes that girls

An Armies Artist in Europe.

When ! was in Antwerp met with a
person who interested me very much. l
was in the picture gallery there, and had
walked through a long line Of rooms TO
10 the end apartment. There saw upon
an easel picture nearly finished, which
was a copy of very fine painting upon
The wall. was attracted by the beauty
0f this copy, which seemed 10 me as well
painted as the original close by il; and l
was going away VIXEN saw a tall. ell
lerly man come into the room, and take
his scat upon a stool IN front Of the easel.
He wore large, loose slippers, and, to my
astonishment, the first thing lac did was
to kick them of. Then noticed that
his stockings were cut of a little below
the instep, leaving his toes exposed
Leaning back on his stool, lie lifted up
his two long and active legs and took up
his palette and maui stick with his left
foot. putting his great toe through the
hole in the palette, just rs an ordinary
artist would use lis thumb Then be
took q brush between the first and sec
oud toes Of his right foot. and touching
it TO the paint on the palette. be began
to work upon the painting upon the easel.
This artist had no arms, having been
born without them. and he had painted
the beautiful picture on the easel with
his toes. 1t was astonishing 10 see him
leaning back with appraised legs and put
ting the delicate lights and shades into
the eyes Of the portrait on his canvas
with q brush held between his toes. he
has long been known as most slillful
ana successful painter in certain branches,
and his beautiful work is not only inter-
esting in itself, but it points a moral
which we can each think out for our
selves.-St. Nicholas.

The committee on the ball wish TO
say 10 the public that they are running
and expect TO tender to the citizens h

be admitted that is at all objection
able. They rather resent the insinua-
tion that they have lent their names
10 anything else, as they have given
their time and best energies 10 this
affair, having nothing in view but it,
unqualified success; that they desire TO
be encouraged goes without question
ing. One Of the objects that the COM
mittee have in view is to acknowledge
IN some manner the kindness OF the
military authorities who have 20 will
iugly rendered, free gratis, the services
ofthe band for the whole day. This in
cludes the open mir concert In the
park. In consequence the committee
engaged the whole Of the string part
of the band for the evening at the
Rink, wishing to remunerate the men
a. much as thep could in this manner.
So it is hoped that those who dance
will help by purchasing tickets, also
those who do not, but will come to hear
the orchestra, which is known to be
one OF the best in the west. The tick
cts are placed at the reasonable price
Of one dollar and half, which will be

GETTING READY.
Iarlie Brown has been rustling

Charlie Brown has been rustling to
get the race track in condition and has
had men and teams at work to good
advantage for the last two days.
There Is lots of tun every evening at
the race course. We notice many Of
the boys who own horses trying their
mettle with intentions to enter them
at the races. Lee Eisenberg with his
bob-tail nag, Elmer Bachelor with his
lightweight running horse, Fred
Orschel holding down his bay rocker.
Also others who enjoy dash and the
excitement attending such sport.
Quite number Of the officers from
the post have signiiied their intention
of being present at the ball in the eve
ming to participate in the jollification.
The ladies of the Catholic parish
will have lunch and lemonade stand
in the annex connected with the Rink
during the progress OF the ball and
will deal out refreshments 10 those
who wish them at a small price.
Lee Eisenberg, as chairman Of the
decorating committee, has made ar
ranpements to decorate in very ts-ty
manner the Rink with evergfeens.

some dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed at the uncertain way that the
committee left the amount ofprizes for
the athletic sports. This has been un-
avoidable on account of the money
subscribed not being all collected at
the time the programme was being

that there will be enough for suitable
prizes in all OF the sports.

A Modern Fort.

One of the new underground forts
of Belgium, according to Colonel
Hennebert of the Belgian army,
measures about 1G0 feet in length by
100 to 100 feet in breadth, and ex-
tends 40 feet below the surface OF the
ground, with maximum height above
the surface of not more than 10 to Is
feet. I, is built of concrete, has the
external appearance of an elliptica!
cap placed on the ground, and is
scarcely visible at little distance. 1t
is provided with three armored towers
in the center, each with two heavy
guns; and has also four small forts,
which can be pulled in or run out at
pleasure, each armed with two rapid
firing guns. There are three armored
look outs, from two of which electric
lights can be flashed upon the enemy.
The interior of the fort is huge ar
mored we'll, with heavily armored Sec
tons in which are kept provisions and
ammunition, and the machinery
which includes apparatus for electric
lighting, for working the turrets and
sending them ammunition, and for
ventilation. Entrance is effected by
an armored and strongly closed gal
l-ry. Orders are given aud reports
made by telephone or telegraph. The
forts garrison consists of 80 or 40
mechanics and specialists only.
