BuIIing.

Revolving Scene at the Execution of Louis
Bul1ing.
Wife murderer Bulling expiated his
crime on the galloWs, at Savannah, Mo-,
and his taking off was accompanied by
scenes most shocking. Bulling, by pleading
his unftness for death, had induced the
Sheriff to postpone the execution from a.
m. to D. m. He passed the time with the
Rev. Lavake, and just before o'clock the
Sheriff was called to his cell by two pistol
shots. Bulling had unsuccessfully attempt
ed suicide. He had not lost consciousness,
and the Sheriff ordered four deputies to
carry him to the scaffold. He refused to
stand and they placed him upon chair.
He cursed and swore at the deputies, cried
and screamed for mercy and shrieked in
terror. Finally he was told to get up and
stand upon the drop. He refused, and four
deputies held him up while the rope was be-
ing adjusted. The black cap was placed
over his head, and yelling, screaming, and
disappearing, he shot through the opening.
His neck was broken by the fall and he
died almost instantly. The Rev. Mr..
Lavake has been arrested for giving Bull
ing the revolver with which he attempted
to commit suicide.

1. II boy does his work thoroughly
and WELL give him harder work. II lie
does not do this thoroughly, tell him it
is his own fault, and that he is growing
both stupid and idle.
2. Impress upon him daily that the
object of school work is to do better than
some other boy, or to appear to do so.
3. Do not allow the use of cribs, but
ignore their use.
4. When boy can do his mathemati-
cal work better than other boys of his
age, tell him that he should also be able
to do his classical work better (his mathe-
matical faculty will enable him TO see
the force of this reasoning).
3. Tell every boy that he ought TO
spend three hours on his evening lessons,
but tell his father that they should only
take an hour and a half
6. If boy sends in better work than
you expect from him, tell him that he
ought to have sent in better work before
Z. Always tell every boy in the clae'
that he ought to be higher up than he is.
These rules, if fully and carefully car
ried out, will turn bright boys into dull
ones in a short time, and successfully
confuse their ideas of right and wrong.
