How Nineteen Chinese Pirates Were R

HOW NInebeeh chinese fFates Were ke,X
 gently Beheaded fin Six Minutes.
 Not long ago on the Chinese coast says a correspondent of the LondG | Daily Graphic, a foreign vessel, the | Namoa, was boarded by a band of ptI rates. Having got on board in tel darkness they murdered the captaill and threw him overheard. then secured the other officers and passengers, com pletely footed the ship and managedU get safely away with their booty. The matter becoming known the Chinese authorities at once took steps to dis cover and arrest the marauders, and ilI due course the whole band of nineteen were captured and summarily c01- demned to be beheaded. The ghasty scene of the carrying out of the Se1
 tence took place at Kowloon, nea' Hong Kong. The doomed men wera drawn up in a line on their knees with their hands tied behind them
 and at a distance of about f7e yards from each other. So they aws!: ed the executioner's sword. It TaS suggestive of the executioner's skill
 born, no doubt, of constant practice
 that the whole nineteen were beheac' ed within six minutes. A bold-lOOkns villain was the chief of the gang. He died, as nearly all the Chinese do undG such circumstances, apparently wlihJ out the least fear. In fact, just before his head rolled to the ground he del clared aloud defantly that if it weN possible for him to commit anothf murder he would not hesitate to dOi It happens often when a Chinese criE inal is sentenced to be decapitate that his friends supply him with It'd opium, which, possibly, mercifully ps duces a stupor and renders the doome wretch partially insensible to his hc| rible position. The final scene is s2 acted thus: When everything is reaf the eXecutioner's assistant seizeS u' long pigtail of the condemned maD and at one blow with his long, shafP

A Pocket Life Saving Apparatus.

In 1874 Lieutenant Brunei of Dieppe
introduced his pocket life saving lines, of
which already upward of 3,340 are being
used in France, where they now rescue
annually some 2S5 lives. Nevertheless
these admirable inventions are almost
unknown in our empire. Brunel's small
pocket line consists of wooden float,
round which some so feet of stout cord
is wound. The other end of the cord
terminates in an efficient grapnel armed
with four small hooks The whole ap-
paratus complete weighs only five
ounces and is the most convenient of all
life saving lines. Hence urge its adop-
tion everywhere, especially for officials
and others engaged about our coasts and
inland waters. These appliances could
be proftably retailed for about Is. Cd.
each, and any one can make them.--Lon-

Saved by u Quick Hair Cut.

A young woman was saved In an al
most miraculous" manner the other
day from almost certain death. She
was walking through mill at Lewis
ton, Me-, when her hair fell down in
front of piece of heavy machinery and
the ends Of the hair caught in some slow
ly revolving cogwheels. The woman
screamed, but did not have the presence
of mind to break away at once before
moro strands of hair were caught and
dragged in. She stood there almost nQ7
tionless screaming, while her head was
drawn nearer and nearer to the fatal
wheels. Presently her cries attracted
the attention of man, who rushed to
her assistance and severed her hair with
q knife just as her head was approach
ing the wheels. s.-Exchange

A New Flower.

Mary d. Welcome, the Yarmouth Nie. J
florist, says the flower that will be most
wondered at and admired among the
new fashions Dame Nature has intro
duced this year is the entirely new type
OF zinnias, called the "crested and curled
zinnias." They originated as "sport"
on the trial grounds of Henderson, among
a multitude Of varieties imported from
Europe with those of home growth. They
have petals curiously twisted and curled,
after the style of some japanese chrysan-
themums and are so unlike the we'll
known zennia no one would suppose them
to belong to that plebeian family, origi-
nally so unrefined as never to be intro
duced into the aristocratic circle of the
floral kingdom.
Dame Nature took them in hand not
many years ago to see what she could do
to improve their habits and with marked
success. The elegant Tom Thumb, Pig
my Mexican, Zebra, in stripes of red,
orange, pink, scarlet, white, ETC.; mo-
sale, with foliage marbled and dotted
green and gold-these were some of the
new types introduced, and now we have
them dressed in all colors, crested and
curled for the ballroom! What next2-

Growth Of Eicx,rio Traction.

The growth of electric traction in this
countIy is one of the most marvellous
developments of the century. A leading
street railway journal draws attention
to the fact that in the past five years tho
mileage of street railways operated by
electricity has increased from so miles to
over 6, 900 miles, which is greater mile
age than that of all the other street rail-
ways in the country operated by both
animal and other forms Of motive power.
or this large total nearly one-third was
built an 1892. No estimate has yet been
given of the aggregate increase in value
in suburban property that has been i'm
proved by the running of new electric
lines, but the amount must be enormous,
as large proportion of late installations
have'heen in suburban districts, partic-
ularly in the east
In July, 1890, thestreet railway mileage
OF the country was $3.50 miles. At the
present time it reaches total of II, 1855
miles, or an increase of 5000 miles in the
past 81 years, During 1899 there was an
additional increase of / ,066 miles. Some
of these lines have been introduced in
the most crowded parts of large cities,
where it is admitted that cable traction
would be more economical. The reason
for this lies probably in the fact that it
would be far less economical to change
from electric to cable power simply for
the short distance than to retain the sys-
tenn already in operation.
English Common Law an Enemy of Women.
.naU curious compendium or judicial
and legislative wisdom. the English COM
mon law, comes down to us from the
feudal days when those forming the
militant half of the human race were
held to be properly the holders of all
property, because they could defend
their rights to 1t in battle, and therefore
1t Disseminated in every possible way
against the "distaff line" This has
been the underlying impulse of every
decision unjust to women. The cruel
law which made the father sole guardian
of the children was survival of the
common law.-Boston Woman's Jour
lal.

Much Better Than begging.

An urchin 0 years old, with a very
dirty face and pair of bright eyes, ac-
costed woman as she was hurrying
across the common the other day.
"Pleasc to give me some money to get
me something to eat he whined.
"No, l won't give you any money to
get you something to eat" was the reply.
The lady mimicked his whine.
Finally she hired him to carry her UNI
brella to her office, and ON their way
thither she gave him dissertation ON
labor and its fruits in phrases she thought
he would understand. She advised him
to go into the newspaper business and
loaned him 90 cents to invest in papers,
after he had signed his name to con-
tract she drew up, promising to pay her
Immediately he had cleared that amount.
In an hour and half he came back to
the office proudly and deposited Tic
money loaned on her desk. She took 10
cents of it, and he kept the other to mako
further investments. The next day he
cleared Sl.50. He was radiant.
"This IS better than begging, isn't its"
she asked.
"You bet" he said.
"Now, If give you this 10 cents, will
you promise to buy with it what shall
ask your

A Belief That Proves Troublesome.

Arecently returned eastern missionary
says that small, but persistent, vexa-
tion in household affairs is the firm be-
lief in the transmigration of souls among
ones Buddhist servants and its often
ludicrous consequences. For instance,
once on shipboard the sailors were di-
rected to kill the cockroaches with which
the vessel was infested. This they dared
not do, fearing that some ancestors spirit
might be imprisoned in that most un-
likely form. They approached the YER
min gently, lifted them up on sheets Of
paper and dropped them overheard in q
manner almost tender and quite defer
ential.
One young convert clung TO her newly
made friend during her last illness with
the constant cry that she feared, when
the end should come, that the old belief
would be too strong for her, it pressed
so hard upon her that the soul was des-
tined for further earthly life. 1t was a
cause for great rejoicing at the mission
station that dissolution came in sleep
and unattended by this horror.-New
York Times.

Accidentally Knocked Down by Panther.

On the anniversary of Washington's
birth Alexander Rawles, prominent
landowner and stockman Of Anderson
valley, was accidentally knocked down
by a large S-foot panther. Rawles
bruises are now reported serious. His
dogs had treed the beast, and Rawles
went to neighbours for gun. He could
find only one cartridge, but with this he
returned and shot the panther, but only
slightly wounded it. The animal sprang
from its perch midst the dogs and soon
stretched one in death. Once in bound
ing backward to avoid the other dogs
the panther accidentally came in contact
with Rawles, who was knocked down.
The panther entirely ignored Rawles
throughout the fight, giving the dogs its
undivided attention, although before and
after his fall Rawles vigorously bella
bored the beast with his gun barrel,
which was ruined in the conflict. The
panthers death finally resulted. When
Rawles was knocked down, his side
struck stone, producing serious inter-
nal injuries. San Francisco Chron--

Friendship Between "a Horse and Dog.

Friendship Between u Horse and n Dog.
A plumber at Narragansett had horse
81 years old, which was used for carry
ing around his masters material when
that was necessary, but spent most of its
time in q small pasture. A fox terrier,
also belonging to the plumber, was an in
separable companion of the old horse.
When the old horse was harnessed to the
cart the dog was on guard to see that
nothing was stolen from the cart. In
the pasture the dog was always shifting
around the horse and was never so de-
lighted as when the horse would begin to
roll in the grass, which it often did, ap-
parently to please the dog, which would
jump about in every direction and bark
for pure joy.
At night when the horse was put in the
barn the dog always entered with its
friend and slept on the animals body.
One day the neighbors heard the most
dismal howls coming from the pasture
and found that the old horse had died.
There was the terrier on the dead body,
bowling out its sorrow and misery. The
dog remained with the body until it was
removed for burial.-New York Tribune.

A Tradition of the Flood.

All the northern coast Indians hav1
tradition Of food which destroyed all
mankind, except a pair from which the
earth was again peopled. Each tribe
gives the story local coloring, but the
plot of the legend is much the same. Til,
Bella Coola tradition is as follows:
The creator of the universe, Mes-mCs-
ta-la-nik, had great difficulty in the ar
rangement of the land and water. The
Garth persisted in sinking out Of sight.
At last he hit upon plan which worked
very well. Taking long line of twisted
walrus hide he tied it around the dry
land and fastened the other end to the
corner of the moon. Everything worked
well for long time, but at last the spirit
became very much offended Mt the action
Of mankind, and in a fit Of anger one day
seized his great stone knife and with II
mighty hack severed the rope of twisted
skin. Immediately the land began to
sink into the sea. The angry waves
rushed in torrents up the valleys, and in
n short time nothing was visible except
the peak of a very high mountain.
All mankind perished in the whelming
waters with the exception of two, man
and his wife, who were out fishing in n
big canoe. These two succeeded in
reaching the top of the mountain and
proceeded to make themselves at home.
Here they remained for scme time until
the anger of Mes-mes-sa-la-nik cooled
which resulted in his fishing up the sew
cred throng and again fastening it TO the
moon. From this pair thus saved the
earth was again populated.-Victoria (B.
