"ln this particular instance, the mother of
a chief having died. it was decided, as usual
to celebrate the event with an execution. At
tie earliest streak of dawn the slow, measur
ed beat of a big drum announces to all what
is to take place, and warns the poor slave
who is to be the victim that his end is nigh
The executioner's assistants, having
selected suitable place for the ceremony
procure "A block of wood about a foot square
The slave is then placed on this in sitting
posture; his legs are stretched out straight in
front of him; the body is strapped to stake
reaching up the back to the shoulders. On
each side staies are placed under the arm
pits as props, to which the arms are firmly
bound; other lashings are made to posts
driven into the ground near the ankles and
knees.
"a pole is now planted about ten feet in
front of the victim, from the top of which is
suspended, by number of strings, a bamboo
ring. The pole is bent over like a fishing rod
and the ring fastened round the slaves neck
which is kept rigid and stiff by the tension.
During this preparation a group of dancers
surround the victim and indulge in drunken
mimicry of the contortions Of face which the
pain caused by this cruel torture forces him
to show. But he has no sympathy to expect
from this merciless horde.
presently in the distance approaches a
company Of two lines of young people, each
holding stem of the palm tree, so that an
arch is formed between them, under which
the executioner is escorted. The whole pro-
cession moves with a slow but dancing gait
Upon arriving near the doomed slave all
dancing, singing and drumming cease, and
the drunken mob take their places to witness
the last act of the drama.
"An unearthiy silence succeeds, The exc
cutioner wears cap composed of black cocks
feathers: his face and neck are blackened
with charcoal, except the eyes, the lids of
which are painted with white chalk. The
hands and arms to the elbow, and feet and
legs to the knee, are also blackened His legs
are adorned profusely with broad metal ank-
lets, and around his waist are strung wildcat
skins. As he performs "A wild dance around
his victim, every now and then making a
fent with his knife, a murmur of admira-
ton arises from the assembled crowd. He
then approaches and makes a thin chalk mark
on the neck OF the fated man. After two or
three passes of the knife, to get the right
swing, he delivers the fatal blow, and with
one stroke of his keen edged weapon sewers
the head from the body"

BEST TIME TO WEAN CALVES.

The practice varies from the time the
calf is dropped until it is several weeks
old, but we think two or three days old
is about the right time to take the calf
away from its dam. The calf will suck
in little while after it is dropped, and
no matter how much the cows udder is
infamed she will let the calf suck and
butt it all it wants to, and it uses its pr-
vilege freely. 1t is thought this butting
is of service in reducing inflamma ton
on the principle Of counter irritation we
suppose but at any rate the COW will al
low the calf to handle her udder much
more roughly than she will let man
rub it. and either the rubbing or the but
ting ought to be done.
Another point in favor of letting the calf
suck for a few days is that for the first
three days after calving the COW is more
liable to have milk fever than subsequent
ly, and if her calf is with her she is
much better satisfied and will keep very
quiet, and this state of quietude is Just
the one we want to keep her in, as any
excitement at that time is as dangerous
as to the human mother in the same cir
cumstances.
When the calf is weaned at three DAYS
of age there is very little trouble i'm
teaching it to drink, and the quantity
given can be exactly measured. which
cannot be done when it is allowed to
suck its dam. Sometimes when the COW
gives very rich milk, and the calf gets
too much, it has the "scours"-a disease
much easier for the calf to get than for
its owner to cure. Then, if the milk is
used for butter-making, in IA few days
the calf can be fed SKINNED milk with
linseed-meal to replace the cream. thus
saving all the cream for butter. Some
think that it is better for cow, calf, or
owner to let the calf suck for two or
three days National Stoclnan.

THE BIG MOUND AT CAHOKIA
tificial hill at Cahohia, in ST Clair county,
Ills, which is the most stupendous memorial
left by the prehistoric people called the mound
builders. This hill has an altitude of 1902 feet,
its base covers sixteen acres and it contains
at least 20,000,000 cubic feet of earth Says
Mr.. Ramey in his letter to Senator Cullom
suggesting the purchase of the gigantic pyra-
mid by the government:
ut is parallelogram with straight sides,
the longer of which are north and south. The
top of the mound is fat and iivided into two
parts, the northern end being four or five
feet higher than the southern portion, the
summit containing about one and one-half
acres. On the southern end, some thirty
feet above the base, is terrace or apron con-
tanning nearly two acres of ground. In the
middle of this terrace at the base of the
mound is "A projecting point, apparently the
remains of a graded pathway to ascend from
the plain to the terrace On the western side,
and about thirty feet above the southern ter
race, is another terrace of somewhat less ex-
tent. Ine side of the mound below the west
ern terrace is very irregular and forms pro-
jecting knobs. To the northeast corner of
this large structure there seems to be small
mound attached The remaining sides are
quite straight. Cahokia is the largest pyra-
mid in the world, surprising the pyramids Of
Egypt i'll size"
