Newspaper Reader.

eighty one years old. A stranger observ-
Ing him striding along Pail Mall on his
way to the house OF commons. head
erect and chest expanded. on hearing him
laundering forth denunclations of tory
misgovernment from his seat in paria-
meut would probably set him down as a
remarkably vigorous sexagenarlau. Mr..
Gladstone Is in truth the youngest old
man In the world His eyes are full and
slngularly bright. his face clean shaver
and wonderfully intellectual and his lips
tender and tremulous like those Of a
high spirited woman. He Is tall. 8 feet
10 inches, aud lean. He has no hair on
his face and little on his head, but his
badness is not very apparent when he
wears hat, because there Is fair growth
Of silvery gray locks around the base Of
the skull.

FURNISHING ANIMALS.
A New England Dog Tried and Hanged
for wItchcraft.

In the middle ages the lower ami
mails were frequently tried convicted.
and punished for various offenses. SAYS
AL The Year Round. Mr.. Baring-Gould
has collected some curious cases of this
kind. In 1866 n pig was burned at
Roses. near Paris for
having eaten child. In 1886 Judge
at Falaise condemned SOW TO be
mutilated and hanged for similar Of
Tense. Three years later horse was sol
EMMY tried before the magistrate aud
condemned to death for having killed
man.
During the fourteenth century oxen
and cows might be legally killed when
ever taken in the act of marauding. and
asses for first offense. had one ear
cropped; for a second offence the other
ear. aud If after this they were asses
enough to commit third offense their
lives were made forfeit to the crown.
Criminal animals frequently expiated
their offenses, like other malefactors,
on the gallows, but subsequently they
were summarily killed without trial.
and their owners mulcted in heavy
damages.
In the fifteen century it was popu-
larly believed that cocks were init
mately associated with witches. and
they were somewhat credited with the
power of laying accused eggs, from
which sprang winged serpents. In
1474 at Bale cock was publicly ac-
cused of having laid one of the dread
full eggs. He was tried. sentenced to
Ceath. and. together with the egg. was
burned by the executionor in the mar
ket-place amid great concourse OF
/ people.
| In 1894, during the witch perse-
BUTTONS in New England, IA dog ex-
hibited such strange symptoms Of
affection that he was believed to have
been ridden by warlock and he was
accordingly hanged. Snails, flies,
mice. ants, caterpillars. and other OBJ
noxions creatures have been similarly
proceeded against-mostly in ecclesias-
tical courts. And. stranger still. in
animate objects have suffered the same
fate.
In 1885, when the Protestant chapel
at Rochelle was condemned to be de-
molished, the bell was publicly whip
ped for having assisted heretics with
It's tongue. After being whipped il
was catechzed, compelled TO recant
and then baptized and hung up in a
Roman Catholic place Of worship.
Probably similar absurdities may
have been penetrated in our own
country, for it must be Remembered that
only in the present reign was the law
repealed which made cart-wheel. q
tree, or beast which had killed a
man forfeit to the state for the benefit
of the poor. 1t had been said that
punishment is not likely to be efiica-
cious unless it swiftly follows the
offense. This was improved on by a
Barbary Turk, who, whenever he
bought fresh Christian slave, had
him hung up by the heels and bastina.
doed. on the principle, it is supposed
though the application is decidedly
singular-that prevention is better
than cure.

Mr. Gladstone owes his unique virility
In great measure to the regularity, sim
plicity and purity Of his private life.
His time Is about equally divided be-
tween London and Hawardcn. his beau.
tiful estate in Flintshire. He has no
town mansion properly so called, but
hires house each year for the parlia-
mentary session OF from six to seven
months. At present he is the yearly
tenant OF house In St. James square.

the dukes of Cleveland and Norfolk. the
earl Of Derby. the marquis Of Bristol.
Earl Cowper and other great men.
When In town he usually rises at half.
past o o'clock. Detesting laziness and
abhorring slovenliness, he eschews dress
ing gowns or lounge coats, and always
dresses for the day rs soon as he leaves
his bed. When his toilet is completed he
goes to church. or IL the weather be bad.

usually consisting Of fish. bread and
butter and tea. Mr.. Gladstone is very
fond of fish of all kinds, and drinks
enough tea In the course of twenty -four
hours to satisfy half dozen old maids.
A ridiculous story was circulated recent
ly to the effect that Mr.. Gladstone is not
allowed to read the newspapers. being
supplied instead with carefully selected
and pleasing extracts compiled by his
son Herbert. As matter of fact he Is
an eager newspaper reader. taking a
keen Interest in the worlds doings. aud

most friendly terms. Not only are all
the articles written by women, but the

she realizes half the profits of her
journalistic work. Disguised with the
laziness and general worthlessness of
her gardeners, she advertised for fe-
male labor, aad an avalanche of horti-
cultural loneliness swept down upon
her. Many of the applicants for tho
position Of gardener were daughters of
