Tobacco a Herb of Sanctity

Since the worldwide diffusion of the
tobacco habit, its earliest and perhaps
original use has been in a great meas
Iure overlooked. With the aborigines
|0f America smoking and its kindred
practices were not mere sensual graft
lcationS, but tobacco was regarded as
IAN herb of peculiar and mysterious
sancity, and its use was deeply and
intimately interviewer with native
rites and ceremonies. With reasonable
certainty the pipe may be considered
las an implement the use Of which was
confined to the priest, medi-
cine man or Sorcerer, in whose hands
lit was means of communication be-
tween savage men and the unseen spir-
its with which his universal doctrine
of animism invested every object that
came under his observation. Similar
TO this use of the pipe was its employ
ment in the treatment of disease,
which in savage philosophy is always
thought to be the work of evil spirits.
Tobacco is also regarded as an offer
ing of peculiar acceptability to the un-
known power, in whose hands the In
dian conceived his fate for good or ill
to lie; hence it is observed to figure
prominently in ceremonies as incense
and as material for sacrifice

CAME BACK TO LIFE.
lit Took Two Trials to Kill Murderer Tay-
Ior at Auburn.

1T Took Two Trials to Kill Murderer Tay-
Ior at Auburn.
The execution at Auburn, n. Y,
state prison. during the past week.
of William G. Taylor, who was SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair for
the murder of fellow convict In
Clinton prison, caused almost as great
p sensation as the execution of Kemrn-
Ter. three years ago. After the usual
preparations, Taylor was seated in the
death chair and the current turned
on. The moment the full voltage was
switched into his body the rigidity OF
the muscles became so great that the
front supports to the chair, to which
his legs We're strapped, were torn
FRONT heir fastenings and fell upon the
floor with a clatter. When the current
ceased, the body fell back from its
rigid position, and strange sounds and
saliva came from the mouth Of the
victim, which was not entirely con-
cealed by the death mask. There was
evidently a spasmodic attempt to
breathe and the warden ordered the
electrician to renew the contact. 10
the surprise Of all. no current came.
Here was a dilemma. The labored
breathing Of of the victim continued
and bis chest rose and fell cOnvulsiye-
ly. The body had assumed reclin-
ing posture in the chair, with the legs
stretched well out upon the floor Mr..
Davis tried his lever again, but still
no response Taylor was now breath
ing regularly, but sentoriously, ad
those who did not know that he was
unconscious expected to hear him cry
out. It was learned that the arma-
ture had been burned out. 1t could be
used no more during the day. The
straps were removed from Taylor, a
cot was brought In and he was lifted
uDon 1t and carried into the next
room. He was now grOaning aloud
and moving his head from side to side.
His eyes were closed, but his features
were not distorted from pain. Tay-
lOr's pulse grew stronger, and his
breathing seemed less labored. He at
tempted to rise from his cot. It was
necessary for the keepers to pinion bis
arms and legs. Dr.. Conway gave him
a hypodermic injection of morphine
to quiet his struggles. He was asked
If the patient would recover with sun.
cient time, and he replied, Most as
suredly."
1t became necessary to use anaeS-
thetics upon Taylor to prevent his re-
turning to consciousness. Meantime
it had been found that the dynamo
was useless, and immediate steps were
taken to make connection with the city
electric light plant. This took nearly
IN hour, when Taylor was horpe to
the death chair, strapped In, and the
current again turned on. He died in
stantly after the second shock.
Electrician Davis was asked to ex-
plain the failure of the dynamo. He
replied that it was simply the burn
ing out Of the armature, something
that could not be foreseen, and yet
was liable to happen to any dynamo
The attending physicians decided that
Taylor felt no pain after the first elee-
tric shock.

Above the Clouds.

One of the sublimest effects in ma
ture is occasionally seen by those who
climb the tall and isolated peaks of the
Rocky Mountains in Colorado. The
dryness of the air and the strong heat
of the afternoon sun cause a rapid
evaporation from the brooks, springs,
and the snowbanks on the mountain
sides, and this moisture, rising on the
warmer air, condenses as it reaches
the cooler, thinner atmosphere about
the mountain top. The traveller look
ing down sees clouds literally forming
below him and growing thick and black
every instant, so that as they reach
his level they roll skyward and in huge
masses Of vapor eclipse the view and
bury him in darkness. Lightning oc-
casionally leaps from the clouds, and
a mountain top is particularly bad
place to be at such time. The stone
signal service station on Pixies Peak
has been nearly wrecked by lightning
more than once.

Male and Female Population.

The male population Of the world is
falling further and further behind the
female. Thus, according TO the last
British census, the excess of women
and girls over men and boys in Great
Britain is about 100000, an increase in
ten years of nearly 100000 The Ger
man census of last December places
the number Of females about 100000
above that of the males in the kingdom
of Prussia, or nearly three times the
excess twenty years ago. There are
100000 more females than males in
the whole German Empire In Swe-
lden and Norway the weaker SEX are
in the majority by 100000, in Austria
Hungary by 100000. in Denmark by
$4,000. and in every European country
they outnumber the males. In the
United States, Canada and Australia
the males are i'll the majority, though
mot largely SO, the estimated excess Of
males in this country being only 1,100,.
900 or 100000.

The Anatomy of the Oyster.

A clam is considered as an emblem
of stupidity and callousness. But you
will make a great mistake if you put
the oyster in the same category as
when you class Chinaman and JAP
anese together. The oyster is so
strong Of muscle, as we all know, that
no human fingers are able alone to
open the doors of his domicile if he
chooses to keep them closed; liver and
stomach and digestive organs he has,
all as sensitive as ours; respiratory Or
gans as complicated as the human
lungs; machinery for obtaining his
water supply and for preventing an
overflow, and wondrously contrived
mechanism for the trapping of his
food. Finally, he has a heart whose
pulsations may be seen after his house
has been torn from him. With this
very limited understanding of the anat-
omy of the oyster, it is not difficult to
comprehend how cultivation and care
may not only improve its outward ap-
pearance and augment its lines Of
beauty, but how they also cause the
quality of its meat to surpass that of
the natural or uncultivated oyster,
as much as granted poultry surpasses
the product of the barnyard. When
your host places before you oysters
that are plump and round and thick
and deep and light-colored, and man
tied narrowly by fringe quite thick
to the very edge, then you may be
sure that they have not only lived with
few disturbances, but under a high
state of cultivation.
