Favors Execution by Electricity.

copyright 1885, by the New York Associated Press.l
BERLIN. Sept. 2S.-The Emperor has instructed
the Ministry of Justice to report on execution by
electricity. He is in favor of this method OF
execution il it will produce painless death with
absolute certainty He reads everything at
tainable on the scientific side of the question: and
has sent the Ministry copious notes on the
American and European scientists inquiries
into the matter. HIS personal conclusion was
that electricity ought not to be applied unless
the preparations for the execution be short and
simpler than for hanging or beheading. He
thinks that the methods hitherto suggested are
clumsy.

LONDON, Sept. 2S-The belief is now
pretty general here that General Boulaneer
will follow the advice of his supporters,
both here and in France, and return to
Paris, making his appearance in that city
before the supplementary ballots take
place. 1t is argued in favor of this step
that his appearance In Paris, i'm defiance of
the sentence of the high court, will enhance
his cause greatly and create a wave of
popular sentiment in his support that not
even the government will dare to oppose.

A BREAKFAST TABLE BAROMETER.


Is it not a pity that so much scientific
energy and research should be wasted in
providing forecasts of the unpleasant
weather forwarded To us regularly from
Washington. when every householder or
even lodger has at his disposal-so it
would seem-an infallible meteorological
cafe an lait. taken with sugar. Sufficient
for the day is the evil thereof; few pine to
penetrate the weather secrets of the
morrow. To discover those of the com
ing six hours or SO, all they have to do is
to drop two Jumps of best loaf exactly
into the centre of a cup filled with coffee
and milk, in just proportions, and then
to watch the surface of that refreshing
beverage. Gaseous bubbles will pres
emily arise, and gather together in a
group or groups. If they make sudden
rush to the side of the cup, much rain
will be the order of the day. Should
their eccentric movement be performed
with stately elaboration, 'showery' will
be the word. If, however, they retain
their central station, slowly rotating un-
til they burst, the barometer that does
not indicate set fair may be assumed
not to know its business. This is the
latest of the thousand and one unerring
appliances of weather wisdom. Bubble
representation looks as simple as for
tune telling.

The Art of Leaving.

Among the minor arts that add much
to the happiness of life is that of leaving
gracefully after you have paid visit. 1t
may seem small thing, but it is really
a large one. Who does not know the in
dividual who rises to 60 and then stands
talking for an hour? And the host and
hostess feel that they must stand, even
if they almost drop with fatigue, and
when the visitor is finally gone they give
a sigh of relief and sink into their chairs.
Pay your visit, say what you have to say
and when you get up to go do not linger
by the way. Do not stand and talk and
keep your hostess standing. You have
enjoyed yonr visit, and so probably, has
she; go then, while the enjoyment lasts
and do not linger until it departs and she
wishes you would do the same. Some
wise man has said that it is better to
leave behind you wish for your compa-
ny than safety, or words to that effect
Men understand this better than women,
and here comes in the advantage of a
business training again. They appreciate
the value of time more than women do,
and when they have finished a call they
go without the tedious lingering and in.
terchange of commonplaces.

The Laughing Plant.

This curious plant grows in Arabia
and has been given it's name from the
effects produced by eating Its seeds.
The plant is of moderate size, with
bright yellow flowers, and soft, velvety
seed plant, each of which contains two
or three seeds resembling small black
beans. The natives of the district where
the plant grows dry these seeds and
reduce them to powder A small dose
of this powder has similar effect to those
arising from the inhalation of laughing
gas. 1t causes the most sober person to
dance. shout and laugh, with the bois-
ferrous excitement of mailman, and to
rush about cutting the most ridiculous
capers for about an hour. At the expira-
ton of this time exhaustion sets in and
the excited person falls asleep, to wake
after several hours with no recollection
whatever of his antics.

Care of the Feet,

Many are careless in the keeping of
the feet. II they wash them once a week
they think they are doing we'll. They
do not consider that the largest pores are
located in the bottom of the foot and
the most offensive matter it discharged
through the pores. They wear stockings
from the beginning to the end of the
week without change which become per-
fectly saturted with offensive matter. Ill
health is generated by such treatment of
the feet. The pores are both repelants
and absorbents, and fetid matter is taken
back into the system. The feet should
be washed every day with pure water
only, as we'll as the armpits, from which
an offensive odor is also emmitted, unless
daily ablution is practlced. Stockings
should not be worn more than a day or
two at time. They may be worn one
day, and then aired and summed and worn
another day if necessary.

The symptoms of Biliousness are un.
happily but too we'll known. They differ in
different individuals TO some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of a
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
Alrred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out OF
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be
a symptom or the two may alternate. There
are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidiLy or fiatulence and tenderness in
the pit of the stomach. To correct all this
if not effect a cure try Green's August
Flower, it cost but trif1e and thousands
attest It's efficacy. 2,

The Judges Little Game.

Judge Bricker. one of the oldest
representatives of the Pennsylvania
legislature from Clarion county, has
novel way of entertaining his friends
on Sundays at Harrisburg. The
judges apartments are modest, and
the first man to arrive there gets the
chair. The rest that come sit on the
bed and the wood-box. Then the
Judge reaches under the bed and drags
out u homemade hunk of smoked
beef. opens his buck-horn jackknife
and chips off a silver of the beef. Then
he passes the beef and the knife to the
guest next to him, and the guest chips
d piece off the hunk and passes it and
the knife along until all are served.
By the time the hunk has gone the
rounds of the guests two OF three
times the guests are ready for the
Judge to skirmish under the bed again
and come out with a curious looking
bit of earthenware with a small neck.
This contains what the judge declares
is Clarion county cider. To show that
it is safe he takes drink from the jug
and passes it to his guest nearest him,
as he did the beef. The jug goes the
rounds couple of times, and then the
party rests few minutes while the
judge tells hunting story. After that
the beef, the knife and the jug are
passed again. The judge has chalk
mark around the hunk of beef, and
when it has been chipped down to that
mark he puts the hunk back under the
bed for the next Sunday. Then the
meeting adioarns.-Chicago Herald.

NAPOLEON AT EL5A.
The Great Conqueror's Reign Over That
Little Island.

The scene of Napoleon's landing at
Porto Ferraio was curious one. He
had taken the municipality by surprise.
SO that the proposed decorations and
triumphal arch were incomplete.
Eighty pounds sterling had been voted
for these preparations, and the council
had also decreed that 940 should be
expended in the purchase of suitable
furniture for the palace which was set
apart for him. But, if their means
were small, the Elbans' hearts were
warm. Napoleon was met on the mole
by the mayor and corporation, the
vicario, and other clergy.
The people crowded around the har-
Dor and waved bunting from their win
dows. The keys of the city were
offered him IN q silver dish by tia
mayor. He did not touch them with
his fingers. His troops then escorted
him through the little piazza of whjta
houses with green jalousies, now
known as Piazza Cavour. into the adj
jacent piazza (Vittorio Emanuelo) by
one side of which is the plain little
cathedral of the city. Here Te Deum
was sung with enthusiasm. Napoleon
stood throughout the function, with
bent knees and far-away look. He
was afterward presented with a map
of the island. Then he lunchsd.
mounted his white horse Tibertin. and
rode out of the battlemented little
town to see something of this residue
of his great empire.
The vicario's vision of the opulence
that was to come upon Elba with the
emperor was illusive. The revenue of
~ ;,Io ol1 oil
francs. OF this, as soon as the figures
were before him, Napoleon devoted
100000 francs to public works, such
as roads and Notifications. The bal
ance was little enough for the main-
tenance of a court and the several hum
dred soldiers of the old guard who had
followed him into exile. By the treaty
of Fontainebleau an annual allowance
of 1000, 900 francs was allowed to him.
But he received not franc of this,
and had he not carried with him sum
of 3, 400, 900 francs he would have been
at the mercy of the Elbans for the
means of existence. As it was he did
not exc out his funds very judiciously.
Had his mother kept the bag the Elba
establishment might have held out for
two OF three years instead of less than
one year and Waterloo been post
poned.
During the first few months he
seldom passed child or peasant in
the road without brief inquisitorial
chat, which ended in the gift of .
couple of gold pieces. He gave
ragged boys money to buy clothing,
and little girls napoleons in exchange
for flowers. Such lavishness could not
last Retrenchment had to be the
order of the day. Thus. at length, the
worthy, astonished Elbans found such
burdens of taxes laid upon them as
they had never dreamed of. At CapoIi-
/ yeri, indeed, there was a revolt The
people intrenched themselves in their
village and took up stones of resistance
| against the tax collector. so Capo-
