From the Nashville American.
In the King OF Dahomey's country in Africa
that worthy has a way not altogether pleasant
Of dealing with those mourning his ire. After
his defeat at Kotohou he relieved his feelings
by an expedition against Q tribe called the
Egbas and took several thousand prisoners A
traveller writes of their fate that when within
about Ave miles Of Abomey he was shocked BY
the spectacle Of a living man tied TO q cross
near the side Of the path pursued by him and
his escort. The poor wretch was, il is true.
alive, but not far from dead. His face was
swollen by the sting Of insects. and his whole
body was Scared by their bites. The cross was
Of rough-hewn wood and in shape similar to
that known to every Christian. The victim was
tied tightly with a rope made of a vine which
grows thickly in the Dahomey forests. The
rope sank deep into the flesh and he was utterly
unable to help himself. The lower portion Of
the body indicated that some wild animal had
been gnawing at him.
Hardly had the traveller passed one than he
came upon another and similar spectacle. All
the way to Abomey hundreds of wretches were
exposed upon crosses. some Of them dying and
others dead. His guard told him that all there
were Egbas captured in the recent raid and
punished in this way for resisting Redazin, who
claimed to be the lord paramount of the Egba
country. In one place where cross had stood
was curled up an immense python. The SER
pent had apparently been making some effort
to swallow the man on the cross, for the latter
was crushed to q jelly and tn cross lay recum-
bent and broken on the ground. But the pitt
less rope or vine still held the remains to the
timber, and the serpent was disappointed in its
meal The doomed miserables had been ex-
posed to their fates in the course Of the pre-
vious three days. and within q week the aun
the insects and the wild beasts and birds would
leave little more than the bones. Already the
vultures were lowering about, and in some in
stances had begun their feast.

Paul dejectedly walked out Of the house and
turned toward the scene Of his recent expert
ments, which he now felt had been Intellectual.
There was an unwonted silence which he could
not explain; for usually in the morning the up
roar was at its height. He entered the barn,
and his sparse locks stood on end. Here, at
least, radical transmutation had occurred
The cross-eyed bulldog crept to his side and
afiectionately rubbed his nozzle, SO prolific of
teeth, against his leg: the grimalkins purred
like tabbies before q hearth; the baiky horse
capered, and the mule shed tears; tho pea
cocks and the parrot roasted in silence in the
corner; the ostrich stalked warily about, as If
aapprised of its own bulk the ferret dozed with
half-closed lids; the hyena laughed o. hearty,
joyous laugh: the wolf and the jacaknl gamboled
like lambs; the gorilla frankly extended the
right hand of welcome and fellowship.
Paul returned 70 his study. He thought long
and earnestly until lie realized the truth. He
recalled the scene in the barn, when lila had
ragged so furiously; and there he found the
cause which had produced such subduing
effect upon the animals. He subjected the
lymph to analytical tests, and verified its
strength to have been all that he had desired
And yet how impo!ent it had proved.
With sigh Of resignation he accepted the
inevitable. Never thereafter did he attempt to
cure that which is incurable. Never did he
give to the world The particulars of his won
drous discovery. Within his own private note
book he formulated thistheorem: 1.-The bacil-
lus of shrew is destruc tive and indestructible"
And after it, he wrote in tremulous lines

She Got Rid of the Man Who was Crowd
ing Her.
From the New York Telegram.
1.-THE fact that American girls 90 anywhere
and almost everywhere without escorts has
long been q matter Of wonderment to me"
said member Of the French nobility to me
the other day. II was coming down in an
elevated train yesterday and the reason was
made evident to me. As We neared City Hall
station almost every passenger made rush for
the door and stood for five minutes, each anx-
ious to get ahead Of the other in leaving the
train.
Zone Of the crowd was a very pretty young
woman carrying a long-handled umbrella in
one hand and big bundle in the other Just
behind her was a short, very fat man, who was
radely crowding the pretty girl. As had
not left my seat I saw the performance that
followed.
"Once the girl looked over her shoulder and
the fat man stopped crowding for a moment
but began again and trod on the skirt of the
pretty girl. Her eyes grew dark with anger
The long-handled umbrella assumed a hori-
zontal position and shot backward point first,
catching the fat man just about at the bottom
OF his vest. He gave gasp Of terror and caught
his breath just as the pretty girl looked over
her shoulder, smiled sweetly and said: ooh,
pardon me; but you are on my skirt
Then she smiled even more sweetly and the
fat man dropped into q seat and CROPPED about
as though the air in the car was suffocstinR
him. The girl marched complacently out Of
the car head up, the dainty feathers in her ha.
nodding defiance to all masculine humanity"

great official of the United States, a member of

and just as-as if the thing were to be accentu-

cluded an address to those about him. He sat
down, leaned back in his chair, gasped, lapsed
into unconsciousncss and saw no more of this
stopping place on the way to all eternity.
There were lights about him; his last look vas
into the faces Of friends; he saw no saddened
faces; heard no sobs; there had been no dread
of the fearful messenger. The statesman was
and he was not. That is oil there was to il so
far as this world goes. There was spared to
him all the long agony which SO often comes
before the end.
