The Guillotiuo,

Deibler, Monsieur de Paris, recently
exhibited to the members of the press
six guillotines which he had constructed
for tho French colonies of Africa. He
showed them the beautiful working"
of his instruments Of justice" operat-
ing on human ef1igies. According to
the testimony of Figaro Deibler's in
struments cut off the heads of the fig
ures terribly clean" When t.e exc
cutioner was asked what he thought of
execution by electricity he answered.:
"No instrument in the world can work
so clean and SO quick as the guillotine.
Icould tell you instances in which, from
the moment the convict arose from his
sleep until his head was severed from
his body, not more than four minutes
passed" All the materials Deibler re-
quired for his new guillotineu were or
dorcd by his wife; SO great is tho preju-
dice of the mechanics against his pro-
fession that in no workshop would they
do q Job for him.

BLINDNESS IN HORSES.
Entertaining Facts snd Theories About
Their Singular Perceptive Powers.

Entertaining Facts snd Theories About
Their singular Psrceptive Powers
The way in which blind horses GO
about without getting into more diff
culties than they ordinarily do is very
remarkable. They rarely il ever hit
their heads against a fence or stone
wall. They will sidle off when they
come near one. A writer in q London
journal says:
''It appears from careful observation
have made that it is neither shade nor
shelter that warns them of the danger.
On an absolutely sunless and windless
day their behavior is the same. Their
olfactory nerves doubtless become very
sensitive. for when driving them they
will poke their heads downward in
search of water fifty yards before they
come to a stream crossing the roadway.
It caLnot be an abnormally developed
sense of hearing which leads them to
do this, for they will act alike though
the water be a stagnant pool.
''Men who have been blind for any
great length of time develop somewhat
similar instincts TO blind horses. Some
one says that none of the five senses
has anything to do with this singular
perceptive power, but that the impress
sipns are made on the skin of the face
and by it transmitted to1he brain, and
this 'unrecognized sense he calls facial
perception But possibly this percep-
tive power may have its origin in such
conditions as prevail in somnambulism
or in the hypnotic state. Are all such
phenomena In man and horse as have
mentioned to be accounted for by the
words facial perception, if they mean
anything? However, speaking of blind
horses, why should they cast their coats
as winter comes on and grow long coats
at the advent of summer and SO reverse
the order which is the invariable rule
in the case Of horses possessed of per-
feet vision?'

The TASTE or CLOOD.
A Incident showing How Tigers Become
Man Eaters

Man Eaters
In the village OF Hebool, in Ankola
subdivision Of the district Of Kanara, a
large tiger was killed under the fol-
lowing strange and tragic circum-
stances: Shortly after sunset woman
of the cultivating class was gathering
fallen fruit under small elsmp Of
mango trees on the edge of rice field
not more than one hundred PAGES from
her dwelling. Suddenly from a shallow.
dry ditch which ran close by the spot a
tiger, which had apparently stalked the
woman under Its cover, sprang on her,
seized her py the back of the neck and
bore her TO the ground, says the Times
of India. Her shrieks of agony brought
out a neighbor whose house was not
more than fifty PAGES away. and who
then saw the tiger standing on the high
ground above the ditch at some little
distance from the body of his victim
There the animal seems to have re-
mained until the arrival Of the patel
and Aohammedan with a loaded gun.
They heard the outcry of the first wit
ness from where they were sitting in
the patel's house, no less than quar-
ter of mile distant.
The Mohammedan, with commend
able promptitude, GOODNESS and pluck.
succeeded in stealing near enough to
the tiger TO kill him with one shot. An
examination of the corpse showed no
other mark of injury save those seaused
by the teeth of the tiger He had lin
eered neither to drink the blood nor
taste the flesh. For some time past he
had been freely slaughtering cattle in
the neighborhood, but he had never at
tackled a human being, and was appar-
emily unwounded and in good health.
May it not, then, be fairly 81 nised,
asks a correspondent, that in the uncer-
tain light, owing to the dark dress and
STOPPING posture of the unfortunate
woman, the tiger mistook her for a
quadruped, and was himself for the
moment taken aback and alarmed az
his own act? That he would soon have
recovered himself and returned to his
meal had he been undisturbed there
can be no doubt.

GYPSIES IN THIS COUNTRY.
Here and Elsewhere They Preserve Theil
IudivJAuafffv

Hero and Elsewhere They Preserve Their
Individuality.
At present there are probably be-
tween three and four hundred gypsies
In the northern states. A few summers
ago there was band of gypsies num-
bering fifteen or twenty, who pervaded
New England and encamped in divers
localities. The men were all tinkers.
and professed to make living by mend
ing pots and kettles; but, unless the
farmers of the regions did them great
injustice, a propensity to confscate
poultry unlawfully was one Of their be-
setting sins. They conversed together
in the cultural gibberish spoken by the
tribe everywhere, and different in no
respect from their brethren in Spain,
France, England and Germany.
Like the Jews, the gypsies have pre-
served their individualities in all coun-
nomadic instincts, morals and features,
as they were in the early part Of the
fifteenth century. 1t is popularity sup
posed that they.are of Egyptian descent.
but nobody knows of their origin, not
even themselves. They are evidently.
however, the scions of some eastern
stock, and have preserved the oriental
popularity of laziness unimpaired. We
once asked gypsy woman what re-
gion she supposed to be the original
habitat Of her tribe, to which she re-
piled that they dwelt in Egypt when
Mary and Joseph fed from the persecu-
ttons of Herod-and that they closed
their doors against the fugitives. A 60
ahead country like the United States is
not congenial to them.
