The GaIlows in Japan.

To the gallows is an easy transition, as
it is a natural conclusion. In a secluded
part of the grounds at Icbigaya there is
a f~orbidding object, like a great black
box, raised six feet from the earth at the
foot of a long incline cut in the grass. A
sloping walk of black boards leads into
the box at the left hand side. The con-
demned criminal is led up this and finds
himself inside upon the drop. The rope
is adjusted and the cap fitted, and then
at a signal the bottom of the box falls
back. Thus the Japanese method is ex-
actly the opposite Of our own, the official
spectators, including a couple of privi-
legged reporters, being spared the CHASTITY
details of the toilet on the scaffold, and
see nothing until an unacceptable corpse
is suddenly flung out and bangles before
them. Last year this gallows counted
seven for its tale of men.-Tokio Cor.

The water which browns us, a fluent
stream, can be walked upon as ice. The
bullet which, when fred from a musket,
carries death, will be harmless if ground
to dust before being fired. The crystal
lized part of the oil of roses, so graceful in
its fragrance solid at ordinary temper
atures, though readily volatile-is a com
pound substance, containing exactly the
same elements, and in exactly the same
proportions, as the gas with which we
light our streets. The tea which we daily
drink, with benefit and pleasure, produces
palpitations, nervou tremblings, and even
paralysis, if taken in excess; yet the
peculiar organic agent called theme, to
which tea owes it's qualities, may be taken
by itself las theme, not as teal without
any appreciable effect.
The water which will allay our burning
thirst augments it when CONCEALED into
snow; so that it is stated by explorers of
the Arctic regions that the natives pre-
fer enduring the utmost extremity of
thirst rather than attempt to remove it
by eating snow" Yet if the snow be
melted it becomes drinkable water.
Nevertheless, although, if melted before
entering the mouth, it assuages thirst
like other water, when melted in the
mouth it mas the opposite effect. To rem
der this paradox more striking, we have
only to remember that ice, which melts
more slowly in the mouth, is very efficient
in allaying thirst.-Blackwood's Maya
zine.

1awrers, unprofesslonal conduot.

Two Nova Scotia lawyers have been
and are to be suspended from the Barris-
ters' society for six months. The unpro-
fessional conduct is not that they have
defended the wrong or assailed the right
for money-which it seems is quite pro-
fessional on the part of lawyers to do,
though an editor who did SO would be
considered unworthy of his profession
but they seemed to have shared some of
of their profits with one who is not a
lawyer. In other words, these abandoned
men seem to have actually allowed com
missions to a man who brought them
ousiness.-St John Globe.

The work of putting in the apparatus
for operating the Central street railway
at Davenport by electric motors has been
commenced. The entire line of the road
with branches will have to.be rebuilt as
far as stringers and ties are concerned 9.
The company will also erect at the south-
ern terminus of the line an engine and
motor house. The building will be large
enough to accommodate three or more
cars so that they may be always ready
at the south end of the line for extra
business if desired.
A serious piece of work in connection
with the new motor is the running of a
"gronnd wire" beneath the rails of one
of the tracks the whole length of the
railway. The engine and dynamo house
which the company intend building on
South Brady street will be ornamental as
well as useful. The engine will be 130-
horse power-a pretty big machine.
The dynamos will furnish far more pow
er than the railway company will need
for moving its cars. Ten minute cars
will be run-and the motors will move
cars containing seventy passengers up
Brady street at the rate of eight miles an
hour. On the level lines the speed of
twelve to fifteen miles an hour can be
made easily and without danger of col

1t did not take the managers of the

States Attorney Walter ]. Entrkin,
which was to select the delegates to the
various approaching conventions, during
the noon recess, and it did not take that
committee any longer time to choose
those delegates-In all fifty nine. The
list was read to the pOwerless committee
by the machine and the committee could
do nothing but approve of the list The

summer. 1t will be seen, too, that there
is a marked contrast between the delega,

delegates and that which is to have a

lots of sore headed republicans in Rock

worked smoothly enough yesterday, but

While the high water in the upper Miss
sissippi river is not doing any particular
damage it is making things exceedingly
lively for the Mississippi lumber com
panies. 1t is estimated that there are
325 900. 900 or more feet of logs In the
various booms along the river, and fears
are entertained in some quarters that the
high water will cause some of these
booms to break away. In fact, some Of
the booms have already broken, and for
two days past thousands of logs have
been coming down the river. The upper
gap. just above the Northern Pacific
bridge. failed to hold them. and various
lumbermen and mill men estimate that
already $500, 900 logs have gone over the
falls. They continue to pour over at the
rate of 300, 900 per hour, and the sight is
an exciting one. As the huge logs go
over the falls they stand on end for
moment, and then take a plunge, making
a noise like the sullen boom of u cannon
in the distance. Monday morning the
Boom company of st. Paul started crew
of men down the river in search for the
runaway logs, which will be corraled,
sorted out, and sold to mills near where
they now are. Nearly every mill owner
on the upper river owns some of the logs,
but not a man anticipates any loss. This
year logs range in price from $6 to 80.
while lumber brings from $22 to $50. A
good seasons business.
