A Skillful Executioner.

We have observed several wonder
full stories Of late respecting the skill
of the Chinese executioners, who, it
is said, can strike off the heads Of
their victims so skillfully that the
poor fellows themselves never discover
their loss until moment or two after
they are dead. We recall to mind,
however, the story of a German
executioner who far surpassed the
Chinese in professional dexterity.
Upon one occasion, it happened that
a criminal had a singular itching to
play at nine-pins, and he implored
permission to play once more at his
favorite game before he died. Then,
he said, he would submit to his fate
without a murmur. The Judge,
thinking there could be no harm in
humoring him, granted his last
prayer, and upon arriving at the place
Of execution, he found every thing
prepared for the game, the pins being
set up and the bowls all ready. He
commenced his favorite sport with
enthusiasm. After awhile the Sheriff,
observing that he showed no inclina-
ton to desist, made sign to the execu-
toner to strike the fatal blow while
he stopped for bowl. The execu-
toner did so, but with such exquisite
dexterity that the culpritp did not
notice or feel it. He thought, in
deed, that a cold breath of air was
blowing on his neck, and drawing
himself back with a shrug, his head
dropped forward into his hands. He
naturally supposed that it was bowl
which he had grasped, and, seizing it
firmly, rolled it at the pins. All of
them fell. and the head was heard to
exclaim, as it rebounded from the
farther wall: ''Hurrah! I've won the
game"

Consumption Cured!

An old physician, retired from prac-
tice, having had placed in his hands
by an East India missionary the for
mula of a simple vegetable remedy for
the speedy and permanent cure of
Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh,
Asthma and all throat and Lung Affec-
tions, also positive and radical cure
for Nervous Debility and alr Nervous
Complaints, after having tested its
wonderful curative powers in thou
sands of cases, has felt it his duty to
make it known to his suffering fel-
lows. Actuated by this motiveand a
desire to relieve human suffering, I
will send free Of charge, to all who
desire it, this recipe, in German,
French or English, with full direc-
tions for preparing and using. Sent

A Bald-Headed Club.

A well-founded rumor is abroad
that New York is to have new club.
There is nothing peculiarly startling
in this report, viewed in the light of a
single sentence. It is the nature Of
the organization which attracts at
tention by its novelty. The scheme
is nothing less than social club of
limited membership, to be composed
entirely of bald-headed men-not
men whose craniums lack thatch by
reason of the flight Of time, but those
who are still young or in their prime,
and who should, in the natural order
OF the universe be enjoying a plentiful
crop of hair where hair there is none.
The object of the organization is
stated to be the promotion Of this
growth. A dinner will be given once
month, at which each member will
announce whether he has discovered
special virtue in any of the advertised
mediums for producing the hirsute
appendage. Each will pledge HIM
self to experiment with at least three
different tonics or remedies week, so
the uptown BARRIERS may look forward
to a boom in this branch of their
trade.
The rapid increase in the percent
age of bald heads among the youths
of the town is strikingly noticeable.
The precise cause has not yet been
fixed, but the fact obtains public
importance because it accounts for the
bachelorhood Of hundreds of amiable
men who would make loving husbands.
The small coterie alluded to, however,
disavow any matrimonial motive in
the formation Of their club. They
claim that they have been led to take
this action owing to their annoyance
at the increased references to bald
heads made on the burlesque stage
this winter-and it remains a notori-
Gus fact that bald heads predominant
at burlesque performances. It has
leaked out, however, that the busy
little house-fy Of summer is in some
measure responsible for the project.
An ill-natured hairdresser, by the
way, remarked the other day that
comparative badness among women
especially society women-is no longer
an uncommon thing; and that the
number Of ladies who sleep in one
part Of their chamber while their
hair, except a mere fringe, reposes in
another is increasing in very awk-
ward manner. This statement of
badness in both sexes is corroborated
by the very large numberi.of babies
who are born bald in the metropolis
every year. N. Y. Mail and Erpress.

which an elastic slip Of bamboo was
neatly spliced. To the tip Of the bam-
boo plated horse-hair slip-knot was
bound-the snare, when stuck into
the earth, being more than sufficient
to withstand the widest struggles of
a jungle-fowl. A couple Of dozen
such nooses were driven in at inter-
walls to completely surround the decoy,
but we'll out of his reach as he strut
ted round and his peg scratching
among the roots and pluming him
self.
We retired behind clump of bush
es and sat down to await victims. A
loud crow from the decoy was soon
answered by one from a cock some
way off. Our bird on hearing it stood
more upright and seemed to listen for
a few seconds before responding, which
he did loudly and defantly. Again
the unseen jungle-cock crowed; it was
evidently approaching the decoy
whose excitement was manifest. He
tugged at the cord, Tapping his wings
and calling angrily as he tried to free
his legs. As the stranger drew near
the interchange of crows became less
vigorous, and at last he alighted on
the ground with a futter outside the
ring af nooses which were almost in
visible from our ambush. With ruff
fled feathers and outstreched head he
maneuvered round the decoy which
stood impatiently awaiting his attack.
With shrill cry he came on, straight
at the foe, thirsting for battle. Alas
for his hopes! A moose tightens round
his leg, and bending double with the
strain the springy bamboo converts
his charge into an ignominious sprawl
and whips him back foot with out
spread wings. Plucky little chap, he
is up again and with a shake of his
firmly entangled leg makes another
charge at the excited decoy with the
same result. The boy beside me, who
has been watching the proceedings
with open-mouthed interest, does not
seem in hurry to complete the cap
ture, but after poke or two from my
stick springs up and seizes the shared
cock just as he succumbs to his fourth
rush. Fighting his human foe game
ly with beak and spurs he is deposited
in bag his eaptor carries, where he
soon gives up struggling and lies mo-
tionless.

Spring Medicine.

The necessity of spring medicine
is almost universally admitted. And
the superiority of Hoods Sarsaparilla
for this purpose becomes more and
more widely known every year. That
power to purify the blood, and those
elements of strength and health
which the system Graves, and to which
it is so susceptible at this season, are
possessed by this peculiar medicine in
pre-eminent degree. Scrofula,
pimples, boils, or any humor, bilious
ness, dyspepsia, sick headache, catarrh,
rheumatism, or any diseases or affec-
tions caused or promoted by impure
blood or low state of the system, are
cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Try
the peculiar medicine.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

What is more grating to the ears
and saddening to the hearts of low
ing friends who thus behold their
dearly beloved who have inherited
consumptive tendencies approach

What effort can be counted too
great, what exertion too severe
that will give to all such suffering
ones a new lease of life And yet
the way is open. DR.. Wistar's Bal
sam of Wild Cherry will give satis-
faction when all else fails. Keep
a bottle always in the house; a
single dose will relieve a painful
fit of coughing.

A Remedy for. Ants.

A recent Bulletin of the Michigan
Experiment. Station says that BIZ
suiphide of carbon has been tried for
ants with marked success. "To use
this, says the report, 1--WE have to
find the ant hills or mounds, which
harbor the ants This is rarely ever
difficult. Wenow use a crowbar, with
which we make a whole in the centre
of the mound, which should reach
down to the level of the lowest gal
lery of this: ANTS nest. We turn in
about a half a gill of bisulphide of
carbon, after which we throw on inn
mediately shovelful of clay, which
should be at once compactly trodden
down this holds the liquid in the
nest, and its very volatile nature, to-
gether with its poisonous fumes, soon
destroys the last ant of the nest. A
nest has beeen utterly destroyed by
one application. Sometimes the
remedy would have to be repeated
to become perfectly effective. ;,

Pen Picture of the Midnight Sun.

The mid night sun is thus described
in Jubilee Jaunt to Norway: I'm
agine yourself on ship at anchor
looking west or straight in front Of
you. There is broad expanse of sea,
a little to your right hand, behind
you will be the rugged coast, and to
your left the long, narrow ford be-
tween the island and the mainland
that the steamer has just traversed.
You watch the sun as it slowly, slow
" sets; the island and the coasts
look like a rich, dark purple, and the
shadows cast by the ships mast, etc.,
grow longer and longer, After a bit,
when the sum had sunk apparently
twelve feet from the horizon, it stops
and seems to remain stationary for
about twenty minutes; then the very
seagulls hide away, while the air all
on sudden strikes chilly. Each one
has an aWed, expectant feeling, and
surrounding even the tourist steamer
broods a silence that may be felt.
Soon the sun rises very slowly once
again, and the yellow clouds change
with his uprising to even greater
beauty, first to the palest primrose
and then to a blush pink. The sky,
which was just now rose-color, be-
comes gray, then pale emerald green,
and lastly blue. Rock after rosli
stands out, caught by the suns
bright rays, ard the reign ofday has
begun once more.

gun ever made was the earliest pat

1861; a weapon which in improved
form is now used the world over, and
which in rapidity of fire has never
been approached. Another machine

invention, and equally of the world
wide fame, has qualities which make.

these to mitraillense used by the
French in 1870, is the invention of
