asctivs Use Of the Sign Language In
Sentencing = Prisoner.
Once upon time, says George r.
B. Hayes, there was a judge named
Redman, who presided over big terri
tory which kept him racing from Santa
Cruz to Salinas and San Luis Obispo
The Spanish population was the chief
race to be found in that district, and
Redman knew but two words in the
language, which were No tiende.' and
was put to the necessity Of employing a
court interpreter, who attended him in
his rapid tour Of the big circuit.
1t happened that murderer was to
be sentenced in Monterey and that an
important trial must be attended miles
away on the same day. Redman's in
terpreter had gone off to a fandango in
the wilds somewhere and couldn't be
found when court was opened, and Red
man was in fury of impotence. At
last, when he could endure the delay no
Snger, he said to the man below in the
dock:
Prisoner at the bar, stand upr
mo tiende," said the man, shaking
his head stupidity.
"You don't savoy, do your" exclaimed
the judge sharply. "Well, do you un-
derstand thisY' and he proceeded to GEES
ticulate vigorously with his hands and
indicate the motion of rising.
The man finally comprehended and
arose stiffiy in his seat.
prisoner at the bar, it is the sentence
of this court that you be taken from the
place whence you came on Friday, the
27th day of June next, be hanged by the
neck until you are dead, and may God
have mercy on your soul. Now, do you
savoy that?"
The poor prisoner shook his head in a
bewildered fashion and could only cry,
"No tiende, no tiende."
Sis there anybody present in this court
who can translate that awful sentence
to this prisoner demanded the judge of
the half dozen of officials and specta-
tors in the room. They were all in the
same boat as the prisoner and could only
shake their heads mournfully.
"Well," exclaimed the Judge, bright
thought striking him, I'll just show
you, then, this way!' whereupon he un-
reeled a yard of red tape that lay on
the desk, and twisting it hurriedly about
his own neck held the two ends high
over his left ear, at the same time rolling
his eyes and wagging his tongue down
against his chin.
A dreadful groan went up from the
prisoner and from the others in the court
room. They understood the grim ju-
dicial kindergarten comprehension

Ammonia for Electric Shock.

An ingenious dentist has been making
some interesting experiments with ami
mails which have been nearly killed by
electric shocks.
On Wednesday he was standing on
the street and saw sparrow in small
pool of water left by the street sprinkler.
The bird soon went up and flew to wire
overhead. The shock at once sent him
to the ground, where he lay until the
dentist picked him up, barely able to
move his wings. The gentleman breathed
into the sparrow's mouth and let him
go. AS the shock was not very bad
one the bird was soon able to fly,
locality, and the result was another
shock much worse than the first. When
the bird fell to the ground he was ap.
parently lifeless, but the dentist took
him to the Office and began an expert.
ment.
He at first resorted to artificial respira.
ton as before, and then injected in the
birds flesh aromatic spirits of ammonia
and poured few drops diluted with
water down the sparrow's throat. He
then put him in dry closet and gave
him some clear water after few min.
utes. When placed in the closet the
birds body was nearly cold, but the
treatment proved so effective that in
less than an hour he was able to fly as
well as ever and was liberated. Eastern
