An unparallslea Suicide.

1t remained for a Yankee boy in Con-
necticut to devise a method for ending
his life, which has in all probability
never had a parallel.
Reproved OF punished for some trifing
offense he went to his fathers barn and
spent three days in rigging up a guillo-
tine, with which he successfully be-
headed himself. Between a pair of
grooved uprights he fixed a butchers
cleaver sharpened to a razorlike edge.
This he weighted on top with a box of
scrap iron and stone weighing 200
pounds. From the top of the uprights
TO the bottom the distance was five feet,
and the cleayer was held in position at
the top by a rope reefed through a pull
ley and held by q wooden level four feet
in length.
On the end of this lever he hung a tin
pail, in the bottom Of which a small hole
had first been bored The pail was filed
with water, which slowly dripped
through the hole in the bottom. After
these arrangements had been completed
the lad placed his neck between the up
rights directly in line with the c~leaver.
When the water in the pail had nearly
all escaped the lever few up, the rope
was released and the sharpened blade
fell like a fash. The head Of the suicide
was cut of clear and clean.-New York
Press.

The Quaker earb Has Had rrs Day.

The Quaker Garb Has Had aus Day.
While the faith of the Quakers has IN
dergone no radical change since the days
Of Mary Dyer, the simple manners and
customs Of the sect are rapidly disap-
pearing. Here and there, it is true, one
of the s.old fashioned" Quakezs is to be
seen. When Jonathan Chace occupied
a seat in the senate Of the United States
his coat was of the orthodox cut. and his
correspondents could not please him bet
ter than by addressing him as plain
Jonathan Chace. A consistent Quaker,
too, is Jonathan Chace, for he, with his
plainly dressed wife, rather than deprive
their coachman and horses of their Sun
day rest, will frequently walk two miles
and mere to meeting and return by the
same conveyance.
But the old time straight cut coats are
fast passing away, and even Jonathan
Chace has discarded the drab, and his
black coats, though of the Quaker cut,
are Of the very finest piece of broadcloth
that the looms can weave 1t is with
regret that the public part with the
quaint costume of the Friends, for when
seen upon the street it formed a delicious
picture. We may see something akin to
it at the Shaker settlements if we take
the trouble to visit them; but the cos
tune which poor heroic Mary Dyer wore
in her last hour has almost passed from

aviary. The Arab horses, scenting the
powder, pranced in the stables. The
headquarters commenced to grow ex-
cited Dispatch followed dispatch. Cou-
riers arrived in hot haste. They de-
manded the marshal.
The marshal wasinaccessible. Nothing
could prevent him from finishing the
game.
Your turn to play, captain"
But the captains mind was elsewhere.
So much for being young. He became
confused, forgot his caution, and made
two shots which nearly gave his oppo-
nent the game. This time the marshal
grew furious. Surprise and indignation
burst forth on his mar .-irsgc. Just
at this moment a hs . into the
court yard at a terrible dropped
dead. And aid-de-can .ercd with
mud forced the guard and leaped up the
steps at a bound. Marshal! Marshall
he shouted. He met with a rough recep-
ton. Swelling with rage and purple in
the face the marshal appeared at the
window, his billiard cue in his hand.
What is the natter he said. what
is it? Is there no sentinel on dutyy'
But, marshall
Every good presently. Let them
await my ordersI"
And he closed the window violently.
Let them await his orders.
They were doing that, the poor men.
The wind drove the rain and shot full in
their faces. Whole battalions were ex-
terminated, while others stood useless,
their weapons in their hands, unable to
comprehend thereason of their inactivity.
There was nothing for them to do. They
were awaiting orders. But as one a
die without orders, the men fell dead by
hundreds, behind the bushes, in the
bitches, before the silent grand chateau.
Even when fallen shot tore them still,
and from their gaping wounds the gem
erous blood Of France flowed noiselessly.
Above in the billiard hall things Were
coming to terribly close quarters, also.
The marshal had resumed his advance,
but the captain defended himself like a
lion. Seventeen? eighteen. nineteen!"
Scarcely had they time to mark the
points. The noise of the battle came
nearer. The marshal had but me more
to make. Already bombs had reached
the park. One exploded over the pond.
The mirrorhke surface was convulsed,
and a terrified swan swan about in a
whirlpool of bloody feathers. 1t was
the last shot.
Then an oppressive silence. Nothing
but the rain falling upon the hedges, q
confused roll at the base of the hilloca
and ON the soaked highways something
like the patter of a hurried flock Of
sheep. The army was in full fight, but
the marshal had won his game

France still remains the country most
prolific in energetic and irrepressible
statisticians. One of the tribe has lately
been busily engaged in getting up facts
and figures about persons smitten with
the mania for collecting all sorts of OBJ
jects. There are, he informs us, IL, 000col-
lectors of botanical specimens and 20, 900
antiq1aries. The labors of these people,
however, are he thinks lofty and noble
compared to those of the beings who
stick pins in beetles and love to exhibit
the impaled insects in glass cases, or Of
the silly collectors Of bus and train
tickets.
The statistician has also much TO say
about the scrap book people and the
hunters after historical buttons. One of
these has a wonderful collection Of civil
and military specimens, ranging from the
time of Louis XIV toour own days, and
he spent large sums of money in looking
for articles of the kind on the battle
fields where soldiers Of the first republic
d the first empire had fought.
Another Partisan brought together
10000 different portraits of the great
Napoleon, while a dealer in curiosities
has ON hand the palettes of all the prin-
cipal French painters who have -four
ished IN the second half Of the present
century. The careful statistician has
omitted to add to his list the collectors
of such trifies Is the slippers of sstars'
