The Kule in England. even in cases
where there is no doubt that the sentence
will be carried out allows three Sundays
only to intervene between the trial and
the execution-so that If man is tried
on Saturday, he has very little more
than fortnight allowed him to prepare;
hut where there is hope of u reprieve the
delay of the announcement that the man
is to die till within few hours OF his
execution not only adds a torturing ele-
ment to his punishment which he has
not legally incurred. but it limits the
time Of his real preparation TO the one
last agitating day when his friends come
to take final leave of him The matter
is not one of minor Importance, as was
keenly felt, we believe, by the sanity
Able Croze. the chaplain of La Roquette,
in Paris, who ministered to all the cul-
prits that during period of twenty-five
years expiated their crimes on the gull
lotine.
The French system of leaving man
in complete ignorance Of the time when
his execution is TO take place until the
fatal hour actually arrives told very
heavily against that good priests efforts
to bring such criminals as Tropman,
Avignoin and Billoir to fit state of
preparation for their entrance on the
dread eternity. The strange laxity of
French prison discipline allowed some
of these men to be engaged in playing
cards with their jailers till within a few
hours of their death. but it may be
doubted whether the more decent pro-
visions of our English custom, which
dedicates a condemned mans last day to
farewell interviews with his friends, can
avail to render that brief space of time
sufficient for the heavy responsibilities
with which it is weighted.

A Travelling PhiIanthropIst.

There were eight of us who got off
at the junction, to wait two hours for
the train on the other road. 1t was a
small building in the country, with
out a house in sight, and no platform
to walk on. The single railroad Off
cial was asleep on some bags Of wool
in the freight shed, and the clock in
the waiting room had dropped dead
still. As we sat down on the hard
benches in the waiting room one of
the men opened his grip and took out
an eight page newspaper. Not one of
the rest of US had a thing to read.
Noticing this he carefully cut the
pages apart, then cut each page in half
and passing around he said:
Gentlemen, l never did like q hog.
Each of us will take an eighth, and az
fast as we read we will exchange with
each other"
Each n took a part and made it
his business to read it, and the last
man had just got down to a mortgage
sale and the death notice of a pair of
twins when the two hours expired and
the train drew up.-New York Sun.

tors of 1867 has been fully felt, and
that things are ION the mend" The old
days will not return, but new DAYS of
equal prosperity are looked for. Chey-
enne must give up the hope OF growth by
the cattle business alone. Fortunes are to
be made hereafter in agriculture, in stock
raising, in oil, coal, iron, glass, soda. All
of the eggs are not to be in one basket.
The Union Pacific has made plans for
shops that will cost nearly $500, 900. and
that will employ, when built, about 500
men to begin with and l,500 later on.
With the incoming 500 workingmen it is
estimated that there will be an increase
of population of about 1000, and that
will materially improve the business of
the shops. With the extension of the
Cheyenne & Northern railroad into the
upper and central part of the territory,
the reaching across the territory of the
Burlington and Northwestern railroads,
on lines parallel to the Union Pacific. it is
expected that coal. oil and iron will be
reached that are now beyond the grasp of
capital. The dream of Wyoming's fu-
ture is brighter than the recollection of its

simple Relief Operations.

There + many simple operations
which the physician might often en-
ploy to the great relief of his patients,
which, however, + resisted through
ignorance of their nature and a Who'll
ly idea of the attendant
dangers. Among such operations is
tapping the abdomen where the bow
els are much distended with gas and
relief in the natural way is difficult or
impossible, owing to some obstruction.
This operation has for years been prac-
ticed by veterinaries in their treat
ment of animals, especially in what
passes under the head of colo. Farm
ers themselves often resort to it when
cows are SO attacked, and the instru-
ment sometimes used by them is the
small blade of a jack knife. As it is
performed on the human person it is
very simple and practically safe, and
when a physician of repute advises it
the patient or his friends ought not to
impose any objection. The relief it
affords is always immediate and quite
complete, at least for a time. Physi-
clans use what is known as q trocar.
That is a quite sharp pointed rod, over
which is nicely fitted a thin metallic
tube. Both the tube and the rod are
pressed through the abdominal wall
and into the intestine; then the rod is
withdrawn, leaving the tube for the
gas to pass out of. After 1t has all
been evacuated the tube is withdrawn.
The trocar used for the purpose is
always a small one, and the hole
made by it closes completely on its
removal. The same sort of instrument,
but of larger size, is used in tapping
the abdomen where the same is dis
tended with a dropsical effusion. 1t
is a poor time to familiarize a patient
with an operation when it has become
imperative. Of such as are often de-
manded, people should have at least a
general idea, then they will not be
likely to be terrorized at the bare men
ton of them.-Boston Herald.

ARE sLINKeRs HuRTFUL,
Reasons Why They Harm Instead of Beno-
fit Horses That Wear Them


When a horse is used for the saddle
no one thinks of meddling with his
eyes, and we allow the animal to use
them freely, as nature has directed.
But no sooner do we put the same an
imal into harness than we think our
selves bound to fasten a black leather
flap over each of his eyes, so as to pre-
vent him from seeing objects at his
sides, and to limit his view to those
which are in his immediate front.
This is done with the very best inten-
tons, the object being to save him
from being frightened by startling
and unwonted sights, and only to
leave a sufficiency of vision where
with to guide his steps. Herein, as in
feeding and stabling the horse, man
judges the animal by himself, forget
ting, or rather having failed to notice,
that the eyes of the horse are exceed
ingly unlike our own. Our ayes are
set in the front of our heads, SO that
if blinkers were fastened to our tenn
Piles our range of vision would be but
slightly limited. But the eyes of the
horse are placed on the sides of the
head, and are rather prominent, so
hat the animal can not only see ON
either side, but by rolling his eyes
backwards, as we see in a vicious
horse, a see objects almost in his
immediate rear. The effect of the
blinker is both physically and men
tally injurious to the horse. In the
first place, especially when large and
brought near the eyes, it has the eff
feet of heating them and hindering
the free passage of air over them. In
the next place, it causes the eyes to be
always directed forward, and thus pro-
duces a most injurious strain on the
delicate muscles. We know how
painful a sensation is felt when we
are obliged to strain our eyes either
backward Or upward any length of
time and the horse suffers no less in
convenience when it is forced to keep
its eyes continually strained forward.
The worst example Of the blinkers
that L have ever cen were in the
United States, where the blinkers Tor
"blinders" as they are there named)
are often brought so closely together
in front by means of a strap and a
buckle that a mere narrow strip barely
half an inch in width is left for
vision. This again is done with the
best intentions, the object being to
ave the animal from being afflicted
a. ohOn plillNlltoo. 1NOW lllt IlOTOtS
eyes are in many respects different
from u own, and are not affected,
as is the case with ours, by the vast
expenses of dazzling snow which are
sendered even more dazzling by the
clear atmosphere and brilliant sun
shine of America. One of its safe
guards lies in the remarkable structure
which is properly termed the ''haw,"
and scientifically the ''nictitating
membrane" This is a sort of a third
eyelid set beneath the true eyelids,
and capable of being drawn at will
over the eyeball, thus performing the
double duty of shielding the eye from
the direct glare of light and clearing
the surface from dust and any other
foreign substance. This membrane is
seen in perfection in the birds of prey,
SO hat the proverbial statement that
the eagle trains itself to gaze at the
midday sun has some foundation in
fact.-Public Opinion.

More Alleged sensation.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-The work of get
ting a jury in the Cronin case was re-
sumed this afternoon. The journal says
the bloody cotton found in the basement
of the Carlson cottage, and which will be
used in evidence in the trial, was put
there by two reporters before the cottage
was opened. for the purpose of furnishing
them material for a good story for their
papers. The cotton was saturated with
beet blood, 1t is said the defense discov-
cred that it was not human blood, and in
tended to spring it on the prosecution as
a surprise.
