SING SING, March 24.-Warden Brown
has sent out invitations to the men
selected to witness the execution of
to be put to death by electricity during
the week beginning at midnight next
Sunday. 1t is probable that the execu-
ton will take place between 10 and IL
o'clock next Monday forenoon. The
crime of which Cotto was convicted was
a peculiarly brutal and atrocious one,
but the murderer is one of the most
cowardly men ever sentenced to death,
and the indications are that he will have
to be dragged or carried to the electrical
chair

Hello, what were you pulling at the
door forT / said, 4 wasn't pulling at
any door; you're mistaken He said,
oh, yes you were; let's go buck and see. ;
And we walked back to the door to-
gether. He took hold of the knob and
pulled on the door two or three tim es,
and turned, facing Fourth street.
81 thought that when he pushed at
the door it would go in and he would
lose his balance and l would get a
chance to get away. When he pushed

and started to run. He turned and
struck me on the back of the head and
knocked ME down. As was getting up
he called out, Il will fix your in such a
feIocious manner that it scared me. He
threw his hand up, and ] saw flash
over my shoulder, and reached around
and pulled out my revolver. 1 thought
he had pulled ont his revolver, and that
he was going to shoot me or do Inc
great bodily injury.
LAS pulled my revolver out must
have cooked it, for it exploded right in
front of the officer, and | am sure the
bullet did not hit him. He caught hold
of the pistol and we struggled over the
pavement. Ii was an awful struggle
As we struggled fell over the curb into
the street and he let go of the revolver

my face and he fell on top of me. Ididn't

The officer was on top me, and could

my arm, and a few minutes after that
some one struck at me and hit the stones

Prof. Garner in the Forum says
that his researches leave him no
doubt at all that monkeys do really
talk. The range of their language,
or languages, for each variety speaks
a separate tongue, is small, and they
have no apparent conception of alb
stract ideas. But not only do they
use many distinct words with definite
meanings of which he has
learned and is able to reproduce-but
some of their words, he declares, are
evidently not sounds that occur in
the human languages. In short he
thinks that in their simian tongues
he has found the primitive form Of
the first human speech.

Bird Surgery.

Some interesting observations re-
Iating to the surgical treatment OF
wounds by birds were recently brought
by NJ. Fatio before the Physical So
ciety Of Geneva. According to the
Medical Review, he quoted the case
of a snipe which he had often OBJ
served engaged in repairing damages,
With its beak and feathers it makes
O very creditable dressing, applying
plasters to bleeding wounds, and even
securing a broken limb by means of a
stout ligature. On one occasion he
killed snipe which had on the chest
a large dressing composed Of down
taken from other parts of the body
and securely fixed to the wound by
the coagulated blood. Twice he had
brought home snipe with interviewer
feathers strapped on the site OF frac-
ture of one or other limb.

The curious fungus which is some
times taken for an insect is fungus
that roots itself in a caterpillar and
grows from it, feeding on the body Of
the insect. OF course in time the in
sect dies, and the'fungus then perishes
as soon as it has exhausted the nutri-
ment in the body of the caterpillar
The plant is of the same nature as a
mushroom, and when it natures it
produces spores by which new plants
are propagated in the same way, at
taching themselves to any insect that
comes in contact with them in the
soil. These curious plants are used
as medicine by the natives Of some
parts of Asia, where they are found
quite abundantly. The plant, when
dug out of the ground, has the ex-
hausted and dried body of the insect
attached to it in the manner of a
root, but it is easily distinguished by
It's shape. The insect is filled with
the substance of the fungus and ap-
pears as a part of the plant A va.
riety of beetle that is found in North
America is attacked by the same
kind of fungus; Others are in Central
America and Others in New Zealand
In the aforementioned country the
fungus is very large and has all the
appearance Of mushroom which is
eaten as food by the natives.

There is good story told of the
powers of the Rev. w. II. GLADDEN.,
the evangelist. Mr.. GLADDEN. was
brought into prominence last summer
by his work at the Tarentum camp
meeting. There the religious feryor
ran so high that it was common oc-
currence for persons at the meetings
to become overpowered and remain
lnsensible for sometime. One instance
is recalled of a man who, becoming
excited. shouted "Glo-" and then
fell over unconscious, remaining in
that condition for an hour. On COM
ing to he completed the exclamation
by saying "ry," showing that his
mouth had been set for the word
"Glory," but at the first syllable ami
nation was suspended and when the
senses were restored the lips had to
complete the word. -Pittsburg Times.

How They Rode.

The invention of new words is the
special privilege of great geniuses
and small children.
An exchange mentions little girl
who had been used to seeing only
men on horseback. One day several
young women from the city rode out
where she lived and stopped directly
in front Of the house. Mary stood at
the gate looking at them; then, as
they rode on, she ran into the house.
"Oh, mamma" she said, "if they
can ride sitways l guess I'll get a
horse and ride myself"
