ELECTRICAL EXECUTIONS.

From the Chicago Inter-ocean.1
There is no mistaking the fact that it has

1t has all the merits of "sitting down job, :"
which some people, especially farm hands,
regard as the dearest thing i'll life. There
is sort of barber chair kind of comfort at
taching to it, and it is said to be infinitely
easier on the victim than dry shampoo
conducted under the fire of a cross-examina-
tion as to personal preferences regarding es-
sences and favoring extracts. l can readily
believe this, although hope never to be
able to give a testimonial as to
the efficacy of electricity in any
such veterinary doses as the New
York operators insist on giving. From all
accounts it will be q pleasant, hospitable
proceeding, although something of a conf
dence game, with the laugh on the criminal.
He is to be invited to take a seat on the
trick chair and make himself at home. He
will do so, feeling quite hattered. Then
someone turns the spigot, trihing matter
of ], 900 volts is let into the ring, and that's
all. A man may be able to handle few
volts at time-in fact, l have known of
person consuming volt day for 80 con-
secutiEe days-but volts taken in lots of
1000 at one time are said to impair a mans
health. 1t is wise to be moderate in all
things, especially in volts.

PECULIAR POPCORN.

A few weeks ago party of young people

whom were pair of medical students, at

church. When they came away the sugges-
ton was made, and carried out, that the
boys should take away some of the pop
corn in their pockets, since the young
women were not provided with such recep-
tacles.
AS the party strolled down the street in
couples, the feminine members of it helped
themselves from the pockets of their escorts.
The first of the young ladies finally bit
upon fragment which was extremely hard
and unyielding, and which she threw away.
Shortly she found a couple more and at
length, removing one from her mouth, she
remarked: "This is the hardest popcorn
ever encountered" They were passing
under an electric light, and she held it up
adding, "Why, what is it. anyway"
The young man took it without observing
that the medical student who followed was
speechless with laughter. The latter re-
covered his equanimity in time to explain
gravely, when,called upon, that it was one
of the small bones of the human foot. He
did not add. however, that it was one of a
handful which he had slipped into the first
young mans pocket few moments before.
The young ladies did not eat any more Of

AN IMPORTANT TEST.
Ought the County to Pay a Lot Of
Costs Assessed on Defendants
WHEN THE LATTER AREN'T GUILTY
The Question Argued Before Judge Magee
in Perjury Case.
OTHER SCRAPS OF LEGAL NEWS NOTES

A test case was argued before Judge Ma
gee yesterday, the decision in which in
wolves good many thousands of dollars Of
the county's money. The point at issue is,
Shall the county pay the costs in misde-
meanor cases wherein the defendant has
been found not guilty, but ordered to pay
the costs and in default of payment has
gone to Jail and served his time?
Heretofore, in. such cases, the costs have
been paid by no one, the Controller refusing
to issue warrants, as the County Solicitor
took the ground that the county was not
liable for the costs. As result, when such
s verdict was rendered, the witnesses, Off
GERS and Clerk of Courts and Sheriff's officers
lost their costs.
r. b. Johnston, ESQ.,, to have the matter
decided, yesterday made a test in perjury
case, wherein such verdict had been rem
dered and the defendant served his time.
He asked for a rule on the clerk of courts to
compel him to tax the costs to the county.
County Solicitor Geyer opposed the mat
ter, Judge Magee reserved his decision.

hard time to keep his thumb on the barrel
of the reel, and at the same time avoid hav-
ing his knuckles raped and torn by the
rapidly revolving handle. His left, as yet,
grasps the rod above the reel and forces
the socket into his groin.
"Bring out that belt, Tom," he yells, and
Tom comes jumping down the rocks, in one
hand his gaff-hOok and in the other aleather
belt, with short round pocket sewed on in
the center. This Tom hastily buckles
around the waist of the fisherman, when,
carefully shifting the pole, he places the
butt in his pocket and is thus protected
from possible injury, which the great lever

rod can easily produce. The fish, in the
meantime, has succeeded in getting away
say, 300 or 400 feet now, and shows some hesita-

jesty in imaginary freedom in running, but

and as our eyes follow the slender thread of

whirl Of his tail, the fish shows himself;

hesitatingly pronounce him full six feet

The other day an energetic woman who
seemed to be in something of hurry, came
out of house that faces one of the small
parks that adorn Fifth street. and called
aloud:
Michael! come in to your dinner. Dye
hear, sir?"
The boy was busily engaged in playing
game of marbles, and although she repeated
the cali two or three times, he never turned
his head or paid any attention to her.
The face of the woman looked threat
ening as she walked hurriedIy toward the
boy, caught him by the collar, lifted him to
his:feet and gave him thorough shaking,
finishing off by soundly boxing his ears
''I'Il teach you to answer when call you
and do as you're bid, she said breathlessly,
and she released him.
A look of blank amazement overspread
her face as the boy blubbered out:

head slowly, but all she said was: 81 do

HOW TO PRONOUNCE IT.
The Poets Give No announcement to the
Affected Pronunciation Of Vase.

The Poets Give No Encouragement to the
Affected Pronunciation OF Vase.
Youths Companion.l
The poets give no encouragement to
dainty people who pronounce vase as though
it were written vaze or vauz. Thus Pope:
There heroes wits are kept in ponderous
vases,
And beaus' in snuff boxes and tweezer-cases." !"
Byron supports Pope in these lines:
ga pure. transparent, pale, yet radiant face,
Like to lighted alabaster vase"
Moore, who was very dainty gentleman,
and associated much with the arbiters of
fashion, has the following:
"Grave me cup with brilliant grace,
Deep as the rich and holy vase" etc.
Keats adds the weight of his authority:
Fair, dewy roses brush against our faces
And Towering laurels spring from diamond
vases"
Notwithstanding these and many other
examples in the poets, fashionable people in
England universally give the word broad
pronunciation, not quite vauz and not quite
vaze, but something between. Which shall
we obey, Parnassus or Belgravio? Parnas-
sus, of course.

Some Use in Royalty From the Trade Point
ofView.
The representative organ of the blanch-
iseuses of Paris seems inclined to think
that after all there is some use in royalty
at all events from the trade point OF view,
While lamenting the dwindling off of the
stock of official linen in France, the Bulletin
states that at Fontainbleau alone were
1000 pairs of sheets, 1000 and odd
dozen napkins, and 900 table cloths,
The other royal or imperial palaces were
even more literally supplied. And beside
all this there was the Crown linen, which
existed up to 1870, and generally included
5000 sheets, a large number of bath-gowns,
peignoirs, napkins and toilette covers,
aprons, teacloths, etc., amounting in all to
between 80, 900 and 10000 pieces, entailing
a yearly washing bill of some e1.5OO
The Bulletin also furnishes us with. the
interesting details, that Napoleon I. in
variably slept between Holland sheets, but
strange to say his august nephew did not
follow mon oncle in this particular, pre-
ferring ordinary linen sheets; Louis XVIII.
and Charles x, ON the other hand, could
only repose between sheets of the finest of
fine cambria. But, alas! the glorious days
of official laundrydom have been banished
by NJ. Carnot and his predecessors.

WHY KR ARE RIGHT HANDED.
Protecting the Most Exposed and Vulnerable
Part of Our Bodies.

Cornhill's Magazlne.1
Primitive man, being by nature q fight
ing animal, fought for the most part at first
with his great canine teeth. his nails and his
fists; till in process of time he added to those
early and natural weapons the further per-
suasions Of club or shillelagh. he also
fought, as Darwin has very conclusively
shown in the main for the possession of the
ladies OF his kind, against other members OF
his own sex and species. And if you fight
you soon learn to protect the most exposed
and vulnerable portion of your body. Or if
you don't, natural selection manages it for
you, by killing you of as an immediate con-
sequence.
To the boxer, wrestler or hand to hand
combatant that most vulnerable portion is
undoubtedly the heart. A hard blow, well
delivered on the left breast, will easily kill,
or at any rate stun. even very strong man.
Hence, from very early period, men have
used the right hand to fight with and have
EMPLOYED the lett arm chiefly to cover the
heart and to parry blow aimed at that
specially vulnerable region. And when
weapons of offense and defense supe-sede
mere fists and teeth it is the right hand that
grasps the spear or sword, while the left
holds over the heart for defense the shield or
buckler.
From this simple origin, then, the whole
vast difference of right and left in civilized
life takes its beginning. At first, no doubt,
the superiority of the right hand was only
felt in the manner of fighting. But that
alone gave it distinct pull, and paved the
way, at last, for its supremacy elsewhere.
For when weapons came into use. the
habitual employment of the right hand to
grasp the Spear, sword or knife made the
nerves or muscles of the right side far more
obedient to the control of the will than
those Of the left. The dexterity thus ac-
quired by the right-see how the word
"dexterity" implies this fact-made it more
natural for the early hunter and arti-
icer to employ the same hand preferentially
in the manufacture of flint hatchets, bows
and arrows, and all the other manifold ac-
tivities of savage life. It'was the hand with
which he grasped his weapon; it was there
fore the hand with which he chipped it. To
the very end, however, the right hand re-
mains especially ''the hand in which you
hold your knlfe;" and that is exactly how
our own children to this day decide the
question which is which, when they begin
to know their right hand from their left for
practical purposes.
