AN OlD-TlME HANGING
Half a Century Ago m Bnccu,ion wes q
Public Picnic.

Executions in the United States half
a century ago were not restricted, as
they are now, to the PRISON yard, In
the presence OF a limited number Of
witnesses, but were celebrated con-
spicuously on an open field, before a
large and often iollicking and tumul-
tuous crowd of spectators.
Such Il body l remember TO have
seen gathered on such an amphithea-
ire more than sixty years ago to wit
ness the hanging of murderer The
man was farm hand, and we'll
known. When under the influence of
strong drink he was sullen. truculent
and dangerous; but when sober, he
was so proverbially quiet and inof-
fensive that he was the going
butt of his associates While at work
one day in harvest time. moving a
meadow, near town, lie drank freely
and became tipsy; whereupon one Of
his comrades indulged in long-con-
tinued and rough horse-play AT his ex-
pense. till in an excess of passion in
tiamed by rum he turned upon his tor
mentor and slew him on the spot
or course he was Immediately ar
rested, and never shall I forget the
wave of horror that swept over the
little town when the news of the muir
der was bruited and the victim was
carried to the home Of his parents on
barn door. During the trial Of the
homicide the court house was crowd
ed TO ovechowing with people, who
Hooked in from the country for miles
around TO listen to the grucSome de-
tails of the Staying and to gaze upon
the murderer aS he was escorted to
and fro by the cOnstables between the
Jail and the court house.
For several days Immediately pre-
ceding The hanging that was before
the day of railroads II should be re-
called uulttudes from the country

with booths and tents for the sale of
cakes pies, small beer and other re-
fieShmentS interSpersed at frequent
intervals with farmers wagons laden
with watermelonS muskmelons. ap-
pies. peaches and other fruit, the on.

brisk trade under the very shadow of
the fatal tree. II was. estimated that
on that tragic summer day over $4,000
people. large proportion of whom
were women and children. were cluS-
tered around the gallows to witness
the dying throes of the wretched man.

writes Letters In Her Sieep.

The medical profession is greatly in.
terested in the singular case Of Mrs
Edith MorforG of Kansas City. who
recently passed several days in IL
trance. The most peculiar feature Of
Mrs. Morford'S case is that she occa-
sionally rose from her bed and walked
about the house while in her prolonged
sleep. Once she went to the table and
ate few morsels Of food and then
went to the pump and drew glass Of
water. No heed was paid by her to
members of the family. and not a
word passed her lips One might Mrs
Morford arose md after arranging
her hair attired herself in black
dress and went to the parlor. She
seated herself az her writing table,
with a Bible open before her. and be-
gan writing and rlOugh her eyes re-
mained closed the lines she penned
were as straight and the words as
correctly formed as though written by
good penmau wi'h both eyes open.
This is vouched for by two reputable
physicians.

shown.
"Oh,' no. that isn't right" corrected
the teacher. "Try again"

"The good, old-fashfoned drink. soda

Dublin. in 1900" said DIR. L. f. Venire,
of Philadelphia, to st. Louis re-
porter; but it has been vastly i'm
proved upon during the last thirty or
forty years. In few other departments
of inventive taste and skill have great
er strides been made towards perfec-
tion. American ingenuity seems to
lead the van in this march of improve
ment, for even the French. with all
their skill in matters bibulous. learn
ed something new when an enterpris-
ing Yankee set up an American soda
fountain at the great Exposition in
1867 which was decided novelty to
the Parlsians and their guests. and
met with hearty weIcome from all.
AS many AZ 1000 glasses We're sold IN
one day. and the crowd that collected
around the fountain was so great thar
they had to be formed into line by the
police, and, after first receiving cheeks
went up and took their drinks by
turns"

Almost Swallowed by a Snake.

II am sworn enemy TO everything

service in the army. ] was stationed
for n time In British Guiana. and
while there had an experience with
snake that was startling enough TO
suit the most adventurous mind.
II used to amuse myself n good deal
by fishing in neighboring river. One
sultry afternoon, tired out with unsuc.
cessful sport. l drew my canoe to a
shady spot on the river bank, and.
stretching myself in the bottom. with
my gun at my side. soon fell asleep.
was soon reused from my slumber by
curious sensation, as though some
animal was licking my foot. l glanced
down. and. to my horror. saw the
head and neck Of huge serpent.

liva preparing, | suppose TO swallow
me whole. For an instant ! was com.
pletely paralyzed with fear and horror,
and a terrible death seemed imminent
but by superhuman effort | regain.

ing my feet away. seized my gun, and.
quick as fash, fired a load of buck.
shot into the snakes head. The boa,
with a terrible hiss raised its huge
body and thrashed around AT great
rate, as If determined in its death
throes to coil itself around me. but.
grasping the paddle. placed the
canoe out of harms way by a single
stroke. The snake still cc 1tinued to
writhe around. half of as immense
body in the water and the other half
on the bank. 1 fired another charge
into its head. which put an efTectual
end to its struggles. The reptile meas

WIRING CENTRAL ASIA.
A Three thousand Mile String Acros,
Chinese Turkertan.

Chincsc Turkestan.
A private letter received from Kash.
gar, Chinese Turkestan, says that tho
telegraph Is expected to reach that
place shortly. The line has been near.
ly three years under construction
from Tientsin, near Pekin. and tra-
verses about 5000 miles OF Central
Asia. 1t has been built by a young
Chinese engineer, Woo Hown Yung.
who was educated at the Uopkins
Grammar school, at New Haven,
Conn.
The line presented unusual difficult
ties, crossing vast waterless tracts in
me Desert Of Cobb. In places the
poles had to be hauled distance of
800 TO coo miles from the forests in the
THAN Shan Mountains. In Northeast
China the fanaticaI inhabitants de-
stroyed 200 miles Of poles and wire
after the completion Of the line. Thr-
teen of the leading men of the district
were heheaded by order of the I'm
perial Government as a punishment
and warning.
Branch lines are building to Kiaht-
ka. Iii (Kulia), Ourga and other points
uniting with the Russian system.
The rates will be exceptionally low,
considering the distance. being six
cents for Il Chinese word from Kash-
gar TO Pekin. and double rates for
foreign languages. As the Chinese
have no alphabet Morse characters

THE WILD DUCKS FLIGHT.
B.mpered :. IL Is the Birds speed Is
wonderful.

With all his undoubtedly wonderful
advances In the science of engineer
ing. man has not outrivaled nature
even yet Take the case of the ex.
change of power for speed. The wild
duck. IL has been tritcly observed is
about the last bird we should expect
speed from; 1t has enormous surface,
is very heavy forward and has IL COM
paratively long PECK and heavy head,
and at the same time II has very
small wings, but notwithstanding
these apparent disadvantages. the
wild duck is one of the swiftest birds
in flight surpassed only by the wild
goose. which is even more heavily
handicapped The whale Is ponder
Gus bulk, having propellers which are
exactly the reverse of what we should
suppose the correct position, lying hori.
zontally on the water when at rest
instead of vertical as vessels propel-
}ers are. Moreover, the flukes of the
whales screw are very small indeed,
and also the reverse Of what man
makes Their least surface is at the
dip and their largest at the hub or
junction of the body, but a whale
goes through the water with this ap-
paratuS like fast steamboat, and
can tow a heavy whaleboat full of
men at most surprising velocity. 1t
aooks as If we have much yet to learn
regarding the application of power to
bodies moving either through the
water or the air Nature does not al
ways hide her secrets from us; here.
i'm these instances she is bringing
them constantly before us, and still
they remain as profound TO us as If
they were buried leagues under the
sea.--Invention. l-..

One OF the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
is the measure OF its digestibility.
Half pound of cheese Is vastly more
nourishing rs regards its mere com
position, than half "a pound of beef;
but while the beef will be easily di-
gested, and thus he n vast service to
us. the cheese is put out of court al
together for ordinary folks by reason
of its indigestibility. We should bear
this rule in mind when we hear people
comparing one food with another in
respect Of their chemical value.
