Prepare to Surrender Your NecktIes-
. The young man of the period must not
be surprised if, when he is off on his va
cation and sitting on the hotel piazza
with his best summer girl, she should
suddenly inform him that the necktie he
has on is very pretty and quite the
thing for my rug. Just give it to me
when You are done with it, please" OF
course he meekly hands it over without
so much as asking why, but the reason
is soon given and the astonished man
finds that she is saying the same thing
to all the other fellows She must need
quite n collection.
But what this girl does with them is
this: She cuts them into strips about an
inch wide and sews them together, form
ing long strips of varied colors. This is
pleasant work for a summer afternoon
and the maiden makes a pretty picture
seated with n large box overlooking with
daintily colored silks. and while she chat
tiers away and easily sews them together
her attendant cavalier winds the long
into good sized balls. Not a very
different picture from hat her grand
made while being assisted to
wind a skein of worsted. At the end of
the season there will be several large
balls and then these are sent IT, he woven

Ramadan, the Mussulman's terrible
month of daily fasting, is like the China
mans New Year, governed by the moon.
This year, precisely at the moment the
new moon became visible on the morn
ing of April 8, Ramadan began and con-
tinued throughout the lunar month
The origin of this long fast seems shroud-
ed in mystery, as it is said to have been OBJ
served by the fire worshipers long before
before the the time of Mahomet Ali, who
thought the command to all true beliey-
ers to fast for eleven months in the year
was too much to require of mortal flesh.
Through the angel Gabriel he therefore
besought the Great Spirit to reduce the
time one-half. Finding this still a
heavy trial, he again interceded and got
the time fixed at one lunar month, where
it still remains. During this awful
month nothing in the way of food passes
the true Mohammedan's mouth between
dawn and sunset. In the morning, as
500 as a white thread can be distin-
guished from a black one, the fast be-
gins.-St. Louis Republic.

SING SINGS ouAuaupLe EXECUTION.
The Grimes of the -Four Men Who suf-

The Grimes OF the -Four Men Who suf-
fered Death.
"A click, a sharp snap, a slight culver of
the chair and attached machinery, a faint
gurgle from the condemned and all will be
over. Death will be instantaneous. There
will be no Kemmler business this time; no
roasting the victim to death 1t will be q
perfect success and quick as lightning
yes, it will be lightning itself"
Such was the confident promise of ths
slectrocutioner or electric executioner at
Sing Sing the other day, yet the interested
public did not feel quite easy. The jour
nalIsts who described the horrible torture
inflicted on Kemmler at Auburn felt quite
uneasy, and the warden's family felt SO
very uneasy that they fled to the country
some days before the expected electrocu-
tion, which, ia its way, proved a success
Strange to say, the condemned felt 10
uneastness at all, or none to speak Of
There never were four men in the state of
New York more ready 20 die. The thres
who could speak English seemed more
sociable and cheerful than ever before, and
as to Jugiro, the Japanese, he couldn't act
any more sullenly than usual, seeing that
his ordinary habit was 20 exhaust natures
capacity in that direction. All four had
lived much better and received kinder
treatment during their long term in prison
than ever before in their lives, and that
being the highest happiness they were ca
pable of, they were probably happier han
ever before.
And yet they were well worthy OF study.
Wood, the negro, declared that he knew
OF any religion till he was con-
iemned, and as the first to instruct him
was Sister Dominica he became a Catholic.
Slocum had also adopted that faith so far
Is he adopted any. Smiler was originally
. Salvation Army captain, and his last dec
~aration to Rev. s.. w. EdRerton, the chap
ain of Sing Sing, was that he died a Prot
.stant, but he made no special demonstra-
ion. As to Jugiro, he had never mani
'ested feelings of ordinary humanity, much
ess of Christianity. He knew too littls
English to receive instruction, and pre-
'umably died as he had lived-a latter day
pagan of Japan; that is. a blank aRnostic.

There nave been several instances OF
shocking wife murders recorded by the
papers OF England and America lately, but
barring the case of the now deceased
scoundrel who hurled n woman over the
cliff at Niagara Falls not long ago, the
palm for cold blooded brutality must be
accorded a Frenchman of Livry, a small
place near Paris. One evening the fellow
walked with his wife along the side of a
railway track. As n train approached the
villain hurled the woman in front of the
engine. She uttered n shrek as she fell,
and the car passed over her body. The
engineer having succeeded in bringing the
engine to a standstill, got down and found
that the woman was mutilated horribly,
her mead and one of her legs having been
separated from the body. In the mean
time the guard ran after the man and ar
rested him. The delinquent, who is a
laborer employed at Raincy, when taken
before an officer of gendarmes, protested
emphatlcally that he was innocent of the
charge Of murder, and alleged that his
wife threw herself on the rails after they
had been quarrelinR. The engineer, on
the other hand, is positive in his atlirma.
ton as to the guilt of the accused.

general attention. This Is partially ex.
planned by the facts that he grew to man
hood in Germany, where the papers do not
pay much attention to such things, and
then emigrated to an interior town of
Texas, whence he has lately moved to New
York.
Originally, Lippert says, he used all his
legs equally and gained so many foot races
that he was barred out" in Germany.
He then ran after and overlook a runaway
team, stopped it and saved the life of a
noble lady, for which he was accorded the
honor of an interview with old Emperor
William and received a handsome reward.
This he soon spent and all his other earn
ings, for it must be admitted that Mr..
Lippert is not very talented. Then a rail
road accident cut three toes from his right
foot and the rheumatism disabled that leg,
so it went out of service and he now walks
on his left and middle leg. The left foot
has five toes and the middle one six, and
Mr.. Lippert's greatest grief is that he can.
not now wear three-legged Trousers and
use all his legs,
He says also that he wants some wives,
and II he is hauled up for bigamy he will
tell the judge that he has heart enough for
all, and as his heart is in sections each
wife can have a section. After a careful
examination the doctors decided that Lip
pert's heart Is about six times the ordinary
size and sometimes hobs like a force pump
He enjoys good health, however, except for
tho rheumatism. The only defect in the
two right hand legs is below the knee, ona
being smaller and the other lacking the

DR. JOHN l. ~NoItTHkoF' periments, n d
either lighted a match there. as his at
tendant thinks, or was careless with the
light. The vault had long been closed and
gas had generated, there WIS an explosion
and DR.. Northrop was enveloped in flames.
A still more painful feature is added by
the charge OF DIR. j. I. S%prague, OF Belle
vue hospital, that when the injured man
was taken to the Presbyterian hospital
they at first refused to admit him and
there was a delay OF half an hour. This.
DR.. Sprague thinks, was very injurious to
the sufferer, and hnstened If it did not in
sure his death. He adds that the first doc
tor called at the Presbyterian hospital in
sisted on knowing whether it was a Char
ity case" or 'it the man had money
enough to pay for his treatment"
All this of course is indignantly denied
by the parties charged. They reduce the
time OF delay to ten minutes and aver that
nothing was said about pay 1t is only an
other one of the numerous quarrels be-
tween physicians and hospitals in New
York. The sad fuct about which there is
no dispute is that one third OF the surface
of DR.. Northrop's body was scorched to a
crisp, and that, as all the physicians agree,
he died Of the shock. Whether any treat
ment, however prompt and skillful, could
have saved him is extremely doubtful.
