cash box, but that stuck to him too.
He began to hop about, and stamp, and
groan, and swear, and pray continually
and all at once. We could hear the
cash box thump and rattle against the
floor or counter as the current 3erked
his arm spasmodically to and fro.
AT this point Harper quietly turned
on the transmitter and pushed the lever
over to top speed. Anyone who has
heard an instrument of this deserip-
tion set in motion at Its maximum
speed knows what sensation of COM.
Ing disaster is given by the rapidly in,
creasing revolution of a score OF
wheels which gather speed and force
and noise until it seems as if the whole
machine will burst up by excess of We.
locity. Imagine the effect this had on
the nerves of the man already in the
grip of some mysterious, unfightable
agony. OF course he jumped to the
conclusion that the noise indicated
some fresh increase of his torfne11ts.
He began to scream for mercy.
"Oh-h-h! Help me! Murder! Oh, gen.
tlemen, stop It'll Don't kill me! Help
Help" He wfithed and struggled, fell
on his knees, and, by an enormous eff
fort, tore the rail from its place; but
the battery wire still held on. For
time his cries and struggles redoubled;
but at last he lay exhausted on the
floor. l then turned off the current
and we turned on the gas. There lay
our man, his face gray and distorted as
though he had had fit. He was quite
young. After he had somewhat fecov-
cred he begged hard to be let 60, gasp

quite at his ease as to how his action
would be regarded by the department.
Another reason was that the second
man had got clean away. He had been
waiting outside; bit on hearing the dis
turbance and his pals cries had fed and
left him.

and walked slowly and heavily away.

/ do not blame any imam or woman
for being fond of dogs. The dog is the
most faithful friend that human be-
ing can have, and it matters not
whether the four-footed friend be
stately st. Bernard, an aristocratic
greyhound, an intelligent spaniel, or a
homely mongrel, once won, his affee-
tions are constant till death. Lord
Byron was an enthusiastic admirer of
dogs, as witness the beautiful lines he
wrote on the death of favorite pet,
and his glowing declaration that 1t is

bark, bay deep-mouthed welcome as

but greatly prefer mastiffs, great
Danes, Newfoundlands, spaniels, point
ers, settlers and the much libeled bull
dog even, all of whom are intelligent
and, as the old Yankee said, 'sizable." :"
In all candor | am constrained to adj
nit, though, that some men carry dog
fancying to an unwarrantable extent,
and then it becomes simply brutalizing.
just think, for instance, how lost to all
sense of manhood men must be who
train dogs with special view to max
ing them savage, and then turn them
loose in pit to fight to the death. The
dogs who tear each others flesh into
shreds are infinitely more respectable
than the men who incite them to do
battle, and yet the inhuman pastime is
called "sport" and decent people wink
at it. We rail at the barbarity of our
Spanish and Mexican cousins who pat
ronize bull fights, and at the same time
say never word in protest when we
read that "Jack" and Turk" fought
viciously for an hour and twenty. min

A CHURCH CEREMONY.
The Quaint Custom That Obtains In
Spanish Town!

The Quaint Custom That Obtains In
Spanish Town:
There is one custom peculiar to Seville
which now really FORMS the pretiest
SCENE I'd be viewed during the carnival,
although it is religious, not secular,
and is protest against the licentious
gayeties of the time, instead of being a
part of them. This custom is the dam
cling of the little choir boys of the cathe-
dral before the host every evening at
five o'clock. Above the high altar,
blazing with wax tapers, the host is ex-
posed In magnificent silver ostensor
ium, surmounted by huge silver
crown; the illumination of the sanctu.
ary is completed by a row of tall and
massive silver candelabra standing out
side the rail. AS soon as vespers, COM
pline and mathis are ended, the arch
bishop ascends to his throne at the
north side of the sanctuary; the canons,
in, their purple mantles, follow and
kneel in rows on each side; then, in the
space before the altar, ten little choir
boys (seizes) take their stand in two
ranks of five, facing each other. The
boys are dressed as pages of the seven
teenth century, with jackets of red and
white in stripes, white kneebreechess
stockings and satin shoes. In their
hands they hold white hats, broad
brimmed and high-crowned, with droop-
ing plumes of red and white feathers.
After "Tantum Ergo" has been sung,
to the accompaniment of full orches-
ira, the boys begin hymn in Spanish to
bright and charming air. When this
is ended they genufect, put their hats
on their heads, and begin their dance,
still singing to the accompaniment of
the orchestra. The dance is slow and
stately, like the old minuet, with a
pause between each step; the boys wind
in and out, form various figures, and
end with piroutte At the completion
of the HYMN, the orchestra continues
the air, and the boys accompany it with
castanets, still dancing. The ceremony
is then repeated, with another hymn
and different music, and the whole per-
formance lasts twenty minutes. At its
conclusion, "Tantum Ergo" is again
sung, while everyone kneels; the arch
bishop gives his benediction and de.
parts with his attendants, the people
crowding round, as he goes down the
church, to kiss his episcopal ring.
The origin of the dancing is not at
tested by any documentary evidence,
but is believed to date from the con-
quest of Seville by st. Ferdinand from
the Moors. 1t is a survival, in fact OF
the autos sacramentales, or miracle
plays, accompanied by music and dan
cling in honor of the sacrament, which
are chiefly known to European readers
outside Spain through the beautiful
composition of Calderon. The Autos oi
Calderon carried these performances tc
the highest point of literary art, but
they had been customary in Spair
| throughout the Middle Ages at Corpu:
| Christi and other festivals. Not only
boys, but also women, used to dance be

mony was suppressed by authority

END OF A ROMANCE.
An Engagement Broken on Account OF :
Wounded Cat.

Wounded Cat.
He lives in Evanston, and during tn,
past two years he has been paying hi,
addresses to one of the most charming
girls on the North side. The wedding
day has not been named, but their
engagement was announced almost
year ago.
Several weeks ago as they were walk
ing home from church one Sunday
night they ran across cat that was
wailing piteously on doorstep. "Dc
you hear that, Jim?" she exclaimed,
grasping his arm with a closer grip.
There's something the matter with
that poor little pussy. I'm going to see
what ails it."
''Nonsense!" he replied. Lets GO
on; the cat will take care of itself"
''No; let's see what is the trouble"
Without more ado the young woman
ran MP to the cat, and was Mortified to
find that the animal had evidently been
run over by wagon, as its spine was
dislocated and it was barely able tc
crawl by dragging its hind legs.
"She's done for, sure enough" com.

The girl suddenly Strengthened up to
her full height ''Do you mean to say
that You would leave any animal to
suffer like this? There is drug store
on the next corner. Run over there
and buy an ounce of chloroform.
Hurry, now, there's dear
Nonsense! You don't suppose I'm

"And you don't suppose I'm going tc

"You certainly can't be in earnest?"

will go after 1t myself.
"You want to make me appear ridic1.

Hurry mp, dear!"
"You have no regard for my feelings.
"But consider the feelings of thi:
poor dumb brute"
For moment the young man did
not stir. The blood rushed to his face
and he began to grow angry. See
| here!" he exclaimed. ''This is carrying
matters entirely too far. will permit
no woman to make a fool of me like
this I'll get your chloroform, if you
really insist, but / warn vou-you'l

Two minutes later fine lace hand

was applied by fair white hand to the
nose of the suffering brute and th'
wailing ceased.

The Microbe of Evil.

DIR. Lom broso has written paper in
which he demonstrates that there is a
peculiar magnetism in crowds, which
renders them open to suggestions of
crime and violence, and explains most
revolutionary crimes as committed by
people in more or less hypnotic state.
This explains why some of the worst
horrors have not been the work of hab-
itual criminals. He quotes another au-
thority to prove that "a crowd is soil
in which the microbe of evil develops
easily, and the microbe of good dies
almost always for want of favorable
conditions" and that in a crowd
the good elements are eliminated
and the bad multiplied by a mathe-
matically unerring law. This is partly
due to the want of moral courage--men
being ashamed to show their better
feelings partly to real hypnotic sug-
gestion, which in this article is made to
do duty to an extraordinary extent-as
it is supposed to explain even the fact
that pupil learns faster from favor
