He Was Like the Noon.

A plain. spoken country preacher
in Texas was called upon 10 make
a few remarks at the grave OF a
man who was somewhat unpopular,
and who during his life was much
addicted to drink. The preacher
fulfilled his task in the following
words: "With what shall / com.
pare the deceased remains q? Shall
| compare him with the sun ? No,
never. The sun blinds people with
its brilliancy. The deceased never
blinded anybody with his brilliancy.
Shall compare him with the stars?
No, not with the stars that can
only be seen at night. Our late
friend could be seen both day and
night at the saloons. | think, on
the whole, we had better compare
him with the moon. The moon
gets full every once in a while, and
so did the deceased. I've heard
that the moon borrows its light
and so did the remains, for he
smoked a great deal and was al
ways letting his cigar 90 out

Georgia has one fortune teller
who can be depended on. She is a
Young girl, and was recentlytbought
to be a gypsy by widower who is
looking for a young wife, and was
therefore anxious to know the fu-
ture. The girl said she'd tell the
past and the future, and having
first received a good fee, she told
the man to take of his hat. He did.
Then she said: "You took off your
hat you will put 1t back on. God
loves you, and if you don't look
sharp the devil will get vou.' The
fortune teller then walked away
and left him standing, looking
"like the boy the calf ran over"

A WOMAN'S CONVERSATION.

What a woman should aim at in
conversation is not only to enter.
tain by giving her thoughts, but at
the same time to draw out those of
others, especially the bashful and
particularly the bashful men. Moth.
ing pleases a man so much, nothing
gives him such an idea of his SUI
periority. as to allow him an Oppor-
tunity of imparting information,
though he may not have penetra-
tion enough to discern that it is the
tact of the woman that entices him
into talking about what perhaps he
knows less than she. remember
hearing it remarked of Mrs. Cleye.
Land that she was q charming con-
versationallst, because she always
chose topics which she knew would
interest others, and in this lies the
whole secret Of the art cOnversing.
a celebrated French woman, who
had neither wealth, beauty nor po-
sitiOn to elevate her social circles,
rose to the highest rank among the
court during the latter days of roy.
atty, simply by her art of pleasing
in her conversation. Brilliancy in
conversation is not the essential
characteristic. Some of the most
charming takers are anything but
witty and learned ; but the truth is
we loye 10 hear those speak who
really feel what they say, whose
words are choice without being
studied and natural and easy with
out beng childish or slangy. We
love to listen to those whose purity
of soul shines in their conversation,
and we feel that words are but the
personifcation of the beauty with.

WHY MEN FAIL.

Few men come up to their high
est measure of success. Some fail
through timidity, or lack of nerve.
They are unwilling to take the
risks incident to life, and fail
through fear IN venturing on Ordi.
nary duties. They lack pluck.
Others fail through imprudence,
lack Of discretion, care or sound
Judgment. They over.estimate
the future, and build air castles,
and venture beyond their depth,
and fail and fall. Others, again,
tail through lack of application
and perseverance. They begin
with good resolves, but soon get
tired of that, and want a change,
thinking they can do much better
at something else. Thus they frit-
ter life away, and succeed at moth.
Ing. Others waste time and mon.
ey. and tail for want of economy.
Many fail through rninous habits;
tobacco, whisky, and beer spoil
them for business, drive their best
customers from them, aud scatter
their prospects Of success. Some
fail for want OF brains, education,
and fitness for their calling; they
lack a knowledge Of human nature
and of the motives that actuate
men. They have not qualified
themselves for their occupation by
practical education.-SchOol Sup

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN AMERICA,

In America there are only three
methods of capital punishment
knOwn-hanging, shooting and
lynching. Deserters are shot in
war times, but hanging is the rec
ognized judicial method of dispos-
ing of murderers. There are two
ways of hanging criminals-One is
to drop them through a trap.dOOr,
variously supported and sprung;
and the other is to jerk them into
the air by means of weights attach
ed to the other end Of the rope.
In 1879 a new machine for exc
cutting people was invented and is
now in use at Columbus, where, 10y
law, all murderers in Ohio are hung.
1t resembles a railroad switch, con-
sisting of a leyer three feet high at
one end of the space, and rope
The trap is in the center OF the
space, cut out of solid wood, so
that its presence is invisible. The
floor of the corridor is double and
hollow, and in the space between
floors are the compound horizontal
levers that work two wide-iaced
steel spurs that support the wings
of the trap at either end. When
all was in place the trap door was
as solid as the floor. A touch o. a
few ounces weight on the upright
lever, and the steel bearings are
drawn off with lightning rapidity,
the doors drop freely, and the
weight falls perfectly straight
There is no noise, and the improved
method works finely. Recently
Senator MCMILLAN, of Buffalo dis
trict, introduced in the New York
legislature bill to provide for the
appointment Of commission to in
vestigate and report the most hu-
name method of in6icting capital
punishment. 1t was proposed to
use an ordinary chair, and have a
line run from the electric-lght work
to the Jail. The man would sit Iii
the char, with his head resting
against it's back. The wire enter
ing an insulated substance, such as
rubber or glass, would contribute
the positive pole. BY placing the
mans feet upon metallic plate a
connection would be formed wl1h
the poles. At a signal a switch
which is in another room could be
turned. The current would enter
at the base of the brain, the center
of the nervous system, and pass
through the man. The heart stops
beating, complete paralysis ensues
and the victim dies legal and pain
less death.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

prevented him from removing tho
murdered mans valnables. Before
he left the prison he was accorded
an interview with Paddock, who
told him Of certain rich gold de-
posts in Idaho known only to him.
This information was given to Mr..
Harrison only with the understand.
ing that if he found the statement
to be true he should use every
effort to secure PaddOck's pardon
and give him a certain percentage
of the value Of the find.
Mr.. Harrison was greatly i'm
pressed with the truth Of PaddOck's
revelation, and after securing what
little money he possessed started
at once for Idaho. Following the
instructions Of Paddock he finally
struck paying ore m what is now
known as The Cgurd'Alene mines.
Mr.. Harrison Engaged the co.
operation of wealthy gentleman
in San Francisco and bought up a
large tract OF the land, which he
afterwards sold at fabulous rates,
making himself immensely rich.
Mr.. Harrison did not forget the
convict Paddock, but used every
effort to effect his release and sue
ceeded. Almost tue last official
act of the late Gov. Barrett, of
California, was the signing of
Paddock's pardon. Mr. Harrion is
now en- route to New York TO visit
his aged parents, whom he has not
seen for twenty two years.
