THE KEMMLER DECISION,


The United States supreme court is
turning out good deal of work of late,
whether it is all of the best quality or
not. 1t is settling or unsettling many
things, to the confusion or compOsure Of
various parties and interests. The in
fusion of fresh blood in that body has
perhaps stimulated its activities. Its
opinion yesterday that electrocution is
not barred by being unusual shows that
it has modern vision. 1t is to be hoped
there will be no more legal Quibbling
over this new use of the great agency
of the times. Hanging by the neck is
cruelty to the operators, if not to the
victim, ana savorS too much of the
methods OF barbarlsm. If the object is
simply to destroy life, it should be
effected by more refined and less revolt
ing ways. Electricity has done an im-
menSe amount of irregular killing, and
it is believed it will do neat work under
the direction of the law.
WHILE the young emperor OF Ger
many is busy balancing chips on his
shoulder, he finds time to look after sew
eral incidental matters. He has had a
book of forty pages published, laying
down the rules for dress and etiquette
for naval officers and for civilians on
courtly occasions. At the latter, includ
ing balls, all the gentlemen not in Off
cial uniform must wear knee breeches,
silk stockings, shoe buckles and such.
Americans who have the equipment of
their grandfathers in the garrett may be
able to work it in when they go over to
see WILLIAM. A German officer, how
ever, can only put on citizens clothes
by certificate from physician that his
health requires it. The styles for the
ladies' are not in this tariff.

POSSIBLY the United States supreme
court may yet have the solution of the
conundrum that is troubling the officials
in Massachusetts, as to what constitutes
a meal. Under the law now operative
in Boston many of the eating houses set
upon their tables only few oyster
crackers and a little cheese, and many
OF the customers hardly eat of these.
They take beer and other liquids about
as they did when bars were allowed.

THERE are sixty steamers owned in

Electricity Saved the Horses.

AN arc light machine of about eight
or nine lights capacity, with bare wire
lines, was put up in large brewery in
Philadelphia, two arc lights lighting
the stable, in which there were thirty
or more valuable horses. One evening
81 fire started in the hay loft in the
story above, where there were no
lights of any kind used, and soon the
fame and smoke spread to the stable
room and menaced the horses. The pro-
prietor happened to strike the idea of
starting up the electric lights at this
iuncture. Their brilliant rays saved
the animals, which were removed with
out trouble, and the lights were kept
burning during the progress of the fire.
It's spread was limited by the efficient
work of the fire department The arc
lamp globes were at times full of water,
but to the surprise Of the firemen the
lights were not extinguished, but as
sisted them in their efforts very ma

Every day Pussy would come 70 the
kitchen window for something 70 eat
She never came in the house till in the
month Of October. One evening when
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown were sitting in
their parlor they heard a noise inside
the blinds. Mr.. B. ioOAe1. ard saw a
mouse between the blinds and window
sash, so what does his wife do but run
out in the yard and bring Pussy, and
she quickly caught the mouse. After
that the gentleman said that Pussy
need not be put out Of doors any more;
she could stay indoors.
The sixth day of November Mrs.
B. wanted to send word up to the third
story to some friends and tell them
about the election, so card was writ
ten and pinned on Pussy's collar, then
she was placed on the stairs and told
she must go up. She could not under
stand at first, but after awhile went.
When she came to the room the door
was open and Pussy walked in and
commenced TO new, then rubbed against
the lady's dress and mewed louder
The lady did not know what Pussy
wanted and did not take any notice Of
her for some time. Pussy would not be
quiet, and kept making more noise
until she made the lady look and see
the card. I:tsgv Vas 50 pleased, and
seemed to think she had done some
thing very nice. Ever since she has
brought the letters upstairs,
One day large envelope came, and
Pussy had hard work to get up the
stairs with it, but she was so happy
when she reached the third story. An
other morning sse was sent with a
paper. Poor thing! She stopped about
midway up the basement stairs and be-
gan to cry because the paper would get
between her legs Mrs. Brown stood
there and fixed the paper all right
again and told kitty she must 60. AT
last she accomplished it, but it took a
long while and great deal of urging
and coaxing to have her succeed.
A little bell on her collar would
Jingle, tingle, then all would be still,
then the bell would Jingle, Jingle again,
and at last she came in the room de-
lighted. When Pussy brought the mail
she was always petted very much and
given something very nice to eat or
! milk to drink.
Don't you think this was nice letter
carrier? Now, if all grandma's chill
dren will try as hard to do what they
are told as Pussy did they will surely
succeed.

you don't succeed, try, try again" p

HOW TO ROW.


How to Handle Yourself and Your Oars
SO As to Get Good Results.
In describing a stroke which you
should use, says Walter B. Peet, in Har-
per's Young People, I Will not give the
exact stroke of any college, but such q
one SIS will enable you 70 easily catch
the stroke of the college you may attend
from the foundation you have acquired
from my directions. While you are
learning the principles OF the stroke,
which will take you 4 week or longer,
the whole crew should not row together,
though you should all sit in the boat.
You should row in pairs, such as bow
and ''two," who pulls an oar on the OPP
posite side of the boat from the bow
oar. For month at least you should
use stationary seats.
Take hold of your oars with hands
breadth between your hands. Com
mence your stroke by reaching forward
toward the stern of the boat with both
body and arms and putting the blade Of
the oar in the water, being careful to
swing forward from the hips without

more than possible, II the swing for

GRANDMA'S CAT.

The True story OF What Perseverine
Little Kitten Accomplished.
Grandma, think your grandchildren
would like to hear about the tiny letter
carrier whose name was just Pussy
This pussy was without home last
summer, and came to the house of Mrs.
Brown and cried to come in. Mrs. B.
was sorry for her, opened the door and
let in the stray cat, but when Mr..
Brown came home he told his wife the
kitty could not remain in the house, for
he dtsliked cats SO much he could not
endure them around. So Mrs. B. put
her IN the yard and fitted up box for
her TO sleep in.

oars. Never push your stretcher be-
fore your oar is under water and you are

hands and body should start together.
During the first part of the recover the

You can add to the speed of your boat
by pushing your legs against the stretch
