VARIETIES DEATH PENALTY


The GuiIIotine. Garroting, Hanging and
EIectrocution Among the Number.
The most recent statistics on the
subject Of capital punishment relate
to its efficacy as a preventive of
murder, and also cast light on
the practice of the various coun-
tries of the world, says the Boston
Herald. it appears that in Holland
there have been no executions since
1860 and the extreme penalty was
abolished in 1870 The Roumanian
government abolished it in 1864, and
Portugal has since taken the same
course There is in Belgium prac-
tically no punishment of death, for,
though the law decreeing execution
for murder still remains in the statute
books, there has been no execution
in that country since 1868. The Swiss
have had varied experience in the
matter. They totally abolished the
extreme penalty in 1874, but such a
marked increase in the number OF
murders followed that, in 1879, by
federal decree. the cantons recovered
the right of re-establishing the pun
ishment of death in their respective
territories Seven of the cantons at

THE PORCUPINE'S DIET.
The Only Living Thing That Eats the
Foliage Oh VAe Hemiock.

The Only Living Thing That Eats the
Foliage OF the Hemiock.
''You don't have to skirmish around
much to get feed to fatten one of these
hemlock porcupines on, says an old
woodman. ''Just sprinkle some salt
over stick of cord-wood, or a saw
log, for that matter, and he'll eat the
whole business, and enjoy it like you
would mince pie
The usual diet of these animals,
though, is hemlock browse. They
make themselves a. home in hollow
log, or under the roots of some old
tree, but always in reach of big
hemlock. The hemlock is their pas
ture, and they make beaten paths go
ing to and fro between the tree and
their home. The porcupine climbs
the tree as readily as asquirrel would,
provided you don't slip up and cut
his tail off while he is going up.
Somehow or other he can't climb
tree without a tail nor will he come
down without it.
If you catch one of these porcupines
climbing a tree and chop off his tail
close he will stop right where he is,
and will stay there until he starves to
death, unless he is taken away. Once
up tree the porcupine goes out on
the big limbs, and, pulling the small
branches in with one paw, browses on
the pungent leaves. In going through
the woods you will find little piles OF
these fine leaves on the ground under
hemlock trees. That means that a
porcupine is feeding in the tree, the
leaves on the ground being dropped
from his feast Sometimes a porcu-
pine will remain in hemlock tree a
week at time, hugging close to the
, trunk at night and feeding during the
day. This curious little beast is the
only known living thing that eats the
foliage of the hemlock.

to a big gate. where there. was a
gorgeous fellow with a, tall bear skin

There were six yellow horses in
that and six brown horses. in the
stable adjoining. Six of these horses
made up a team for, the queen. The
fellow that was showing US the
horses said that those were very fine
indeed, and altogether just the thing
for her majesty.

The birds are about one third

with remarkable swiftness, it is
almost impossible. to- catch them, and
it was only by an. accident that these
specimens were captured A laborer

were fedglings, and he placed a

They are fed on honey diluted With

little creatures keep themselves, sta
