PARIS, Dec. 16-Eugene Crampon,

paid the penalty for his crimes and the
canallle that gathered to see his execu-

forded oy the miserable CO serdly wretch
as ne was litera ly carried to the guillo-
tine. 1t was generally known that the exc
cution would occur in the place della Ro
qnette this morning and long before
daylight the crowd began to gather.
Rude jests were banded about and the
usual scenes that make disgraceful the
carrying ont of the death sen
| tence in Paris were enacted. Just as
the gray of dawn was appearing in
the east large van, drawn by two horses,
drew up in the Place de La Roquette,
which joins the prison. Several men
alighted and Set in place the engine of
death. The knife wss tested and found
to be in perfect order A body OF gen
| darmes stood on duty about the square
to prevent the crowd from approaching
the guillotine and to keep order when Il {
victim was brought out of the prison
Crampon, who was in agony Of fear, wa:
supported by Vsriers and accom- panied
by priest, who, as he walked, read the
services for the dying.

RECEIVED MILLIONS OF sTAMPs

Strange Story of a Newspaper Fake Circu-
lated About an English Lady.
Chicago Tribune.l
The recent death of Miss Penelope Every,
only daughter of the late Sir Henry Every,
of Eggington Hall, Derby, England, at the
age of 81, recalls one of the oldest mistakes
that the press has ever been the means of
circulating. About 1850 paragraph went
the round to the effect that wealthy and
eccentric individual had announced his de-
termination to send his daughter to q num-
merry unless she could collect in given
time an almost impossible number of can
celed postage stamps 1t happened that
Miss Every was applied to by friend who
had interested herself in the case, and by
some misunderstanding, a second paragraph
was published associating Miss Every's
name with the task of receiving collections
OF stamps toward the ransom. Immediately,
Eggington Hall was inundated with English
and foreign stamps to the number of up
ward of two and a half millions. The an
noyance caused BY this queer invasion
became so great that the Everys had to for
ward notice to the Times intimating the
groundless nature of the prevailing impress
eloh, anu CdiACsbAy requesting budt uO luI-
ther supplies might be dispatched.
To perpetuate the event Miss Every exc
cuted clever picture representing the vast
assemblage of packets, netted wrappers,
parcels, bags, boxes, cases, hampers, and
other receptacles used in the conveyance of
the stamps, and of this curious sketch an en-
craving appeared in the Illustrated London
Ne,Us of the period. The letters which &C.
many Of the consignments were
bound up, and formed a portly volume,
which may probably yet be seen in the
family library.
Miss Every spent the early part of her
life at Eggington Hall, the happy
and constant companion of her father,
but after his death, in 1854, she went to
reside at Millington. There she was fore
most in all local charitable movements
and was always to be found in the homes of
he sick and sorrowing, and for children,
above all, Miss Every Llost delighted to
work. .s..

the rich; modern art, however, produces
these floor mats in such beautiful likenesses
of the mellow richness of the Eastern ones
that they are as satisfactory in all respects
save the one of tradition. Wood floors,
whether they are of polished hard wood or
of other varieties stained, offer advantages
of cleanliness and wholesomeness not to say
nothing of artistic effect, that should be ap-
preciated. If, however, there is but one
rug-covered floor in the house let that be
the dining room. 1t is desirable to have
this of hard wood that the dining table may
not stand on a wool mat, whicE is peculiarly
absorbent and disagreeably retentive of
food odors, but if this is not possible have
stained margins and Kensington square
that may be taken up daily and shaken free
of dust and crumbs. The satisfaction of eat
ing in a room that is not redolent of a years
dinners hidden in carpet and draperies,
which should always be washable ones, by
the way, amply repays the slight additional
trouble to accomplish it.
A pretty bedspread seen in a room where
rose was the prevailing hue was made of
coarse wide bobbinet trimmed with q
loosely gathered trill or valance of the same
lace which had been darned in conven-
tional pattern with coarse rose fax. The
spread was lined with rose silesia, and was
made long enough to pass under the pill
lows, over which it was then brought and
tucked under them again. At the place
where the center of each pillow would come
was worked in the rose fax in bold outline
the monogram of the owner of the pretty
room.
Some authorities assert and seem to prove
that child's disposition is to some extent
governed by his diet, citing q case of
little girl who lived principally on meat,
and whose really tigerish disposition was
ascribed to that fact While not wholly
admitting this, it is certain that whole
some food reacts to produce a wholesome
temperament "Pork and pie" says an
old doctor, ''are as perncious as original sin,"
and the philosophy of this blunt way of
putting it may we'll be considered.
A suggestion for holding clothing in
cramped quarters will bear repeating 1t
is that of wooden boxes mounted on wheels,
which may thus be easily rolled under the
bed. Leather handles attached to the side
make them more readily managed and they
may be nearly as long as the bed, thus
much space.

ICEBERGS IN THE ALPS.
Rare Phenom non That Generally Occurs
on the Sea Coast

Rare Phenom mon That Generally Occnrs
on the Sea Coast
New York SUM-
When Lord Lonsdale returned from
British America he excited some smuse-
ment by telling of the wonderful icebergs
he had seen pouring over falls in the rivers
into one of the big lakes 1t was thought
icebergs never originated inland. 1t is a
curious fact, however, that last summer
there was in the Alps an interesting glacial
phenomenon which may be compared with
the caving of glaciers in the Arctic regions.
In the valley of the Kaunserthal, about
four miles from its junction with the Inn
river, is the village of Nufels The high
road here crosses the side valley of the
Nuher, which has its source in the great
heap of rocky debris at the foot of the Gall
rut glacier. Of late years this glacier had
receded, and lake had been formed at its
foot. Gradually the lake, as its volume in
creased, extended under the glacier. Dur
ing two cold summer months the lake re-
ceived but a small water supply, and its
surface sank until at last the end of the
glacier was actually hanging in the air
above it.
On August of last wear the end of the
glacier, mass of ice estimated at 20. 600
cubic feet, broke off and fell into the lake,
causing it to burst through the embank.
ment and rush down the valley, carving
with 1t great masses of mud and rock.

when she made her record the figures would

could not have equaled it Getting rid of
the jolt makes it easier for the driver The
ball bearings and wide tire make il easier
for the horse to draw. In these days of
bicycles everybody knows what the ball
bearing and the pneumatic tire are. The
tire is an advantage to the horse because it
will not cut into the dust or soft spots in
the track. If the reader will ride solid
tire bicycle over q dusty road and then ride
a pneumatic tire " heel over the same road
he will appreciate why Nancy Hanks

of the ball bearings. B. B. is the backbone
of the sulky; it is hollow steel rod, thus
combining strength with lightness.

How Prices Compare With Ours
Nearly everything priced in the drygoods
line is Just little cheaper than at home.
Special bargains are offered in silk or
woolen hosiery and underwear, but the
gloves are q delusion and snare We
hope for better things in1this line when We
reach Paris Think said nearly everything
was cheaper here than at home, but the one
thing we most wanted was not, and that was
q ready-made dress. We had plumed our
selves for real English gown, one of the
kind you read about ''you know" and we
not only failed to find the ideal gown, but
failed to have money enough to pay for
anything that we could persuade ourselves
would do-S45 would buy only the plainest
blue or gray worsted frock, with maybe
little gilt braid for trimming, which only
cheapened the general effect OF course
this gown like all others, was lined with
silk; we were shown nothing with cotton
lining. But then, we only visited stores
whose sign bore the talismanic words
"Costumer for Her Majesty" or 'Custumer
for the Royal family"
However, it BY no means follows that We
visited only the highest priced stores for
that sign like the trail of the serpent is over
all. In the language of the small boy. 1t
made us ''awful tired" One genius has q
sign "Hatter to His Excellency, the Presi-
dent of the United States"
