According to the Scandinavian
mythology, all who4die bravely in
battle are snatched away to Valhal
la, Odin's magnificent banquet hall
ia the sky. Those who, after lives
OF ignoble labor or iglorious ease,
die of sickness. descend to a cold
and dimcal cavern beneath the
ground, called Nifheim--i. e., The
mist world. This abode is ruled
by the goddess ofdeath, whose mare
Is Hel. The place Of torment for
~reprobates is Nastrond, deeper
underground than Nilheim, and far
toward the frigid North.
Thin grim prison is described in
the following passage from the
prose "Edda." written in Iceland
in the thirteenth century; I'm

The Supreme Court of the United States
has settled for New York the law by which
executions in future are to be performed
by electric current instead of the gal
lows. The case Of Reminder, sentenced
to death for murder. was taken before
that body on the plea that the method
was cruel and inhuman, and violation
of the 14th amendment to the constitu-
ton. It was argued last week. and a
decision rendered that it was in the prov
ince of the State of New York to enact
such q law, and consequently there
could be no interference with it's execu-
ton on the part of the court. So Kemm-
Ter will doubtless suffer the extreme pen
atty of the law and be it's first victim.
