Mrs. Humphreys TOOK the little girl
gently down and BOT into the buggy
herself She smiled grimly, took the
ribbons In her dainty hands and clicked
to the horse.
Just then Mr.. Wltten emerged from
the house. and at one aBtOnlshed glance
took In the situation He saw hope for
ride whitening In the sarcastic glance
pretty little Mrs, Humphreys cast at
him. He rushed at once to save his
hope and the buggy from Mrs Hum

the horse and tried to dlslodge Mrs.

speak.

Humphreys rose to the occasion and
likewise to raise the buggy whip out
OF Its socket and thwack II about the
shoulders of the unfortunate Mr. Wit

But Mrs. Humphreys decided on n
new tack Strategy was now resorted
to, and while Mr. wilton was away
she again took the buggy and success
fully drove away
Then Mr.. Witten got mad. He found

DEATH BY HANGING.

The Three Different Stages Through
Which the Victim Passes.
81 have made the subject of death
by hanging a long study" said DIR.
d. S. Lamb, an ex-surgeon of the
United States army, according to the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. From my
observations during my experience
in the army, feel justified in saying
that death by hanging is the most ex-
aggerated of all modes. 1t may be i'm
mediate and without symptoms, but
the subject must pass through three
stages before death.
SIN the first stage the victim passes
into partial stupor lasting from thirty
seconds to two minutes, but this is
generally governed by the length of
the drop, the weight of the body, and
the tightness of the construction.
There is absolutely no pain in this
stage; the feeling is rather one of
pleasure. The subjective symptoms
described are intense heat in the head,
brilliant flashes of light in the eyes,
deafening sounds in the ears and a
heavy numb feeling in the lungs. In
the second stage, the subject passes
into Inconsistencies, and convulsions
usually occur. In the third state all
4NA1CG C2ACCPu IlAC VI Dl1O 1tCII u
Just before death the agitation is re-
newed, but in different way from
that in the second state. The feet are
raised, the tongue has a peculiar
spasm, the chest heaves, the eyes pro-
tude from the orbits and oscillate from
side to side, and the pupils dilate.
The pulse can, in most cases, be felt
ten minutes after the drop.
II once knew man who was desir-
Gus of ascertainingSif there was any
suffering by hanging, and in order to
find out he placed a rope around his
neck and stepped off bench, intend
ing to step back again, but he became
Immediately unconscious, and would
have died in few minutes had it not
been for the timely arrival of friend.
He said he experienced all the feelings
that mentioned in the first stage.''

LoRE OF lie woopPEcKER.

SomesQuaint Notions Entertained in An
cient Times Regarding the Bird.
The beliefs and convictions that con-
stitute the folklore of the woodpeclzer,
or sapsucker, as it is sometimes err
roneously called-for its boisterous op-
erations occur solely in quest of in
sects that lie concealed beneath the
bark, and are never injurious to the
trees-are, in fact, very many and va
ried, and many of them can be traced
back to a somewhat more venerable an
tiquity than is usual in such matters.
Probably, says an English journal,
every one remembers having read or
heard, at one time or another, the
story of the transformation of the
pagan god 'Picus, the son of Saturnus,
to the woodpecker by the witch god
dess, Gree, in revenge for his coldness
and nonrequital of her love- The tale
of itself is of little Importance, and
is but one of the countless fairy
legends that compose the lesser and
and extremely poetic mythologies of
the Greeks and Romans. But it hap
PLY serves the purpose of illustrating
the connection that evidently existed
in the Roman mind between birds and.
the supernatural and the unknown in
general. And it would seem that the
relation in different forms was almost
universal in ancient times, for the
image of the bird which was used by
the Romans to represent the perse-
cuted deity already mentloned-after
whom the family is named incident
ally, in ornithology-and by the aug
urs and priests of the city as sort of
symbol in forete1ling coming events,
abouads in many of the marvellous and
complicated sculptures and carvings of
Central America and Peru, and has
even been found in some of the South
Sea islands and other parts of the
world in the form of wooden charms
and fetiches.

The Chinese Sailor.

The Chinese sailor is not lover of dis
cipline. He prefers perfect freedom,
especially when the question of leave
is concerned. Whom Capt. Lang had
charge of the Chinese navy he discov-
cred this weakness, and it gave him
considerable amount of trouble. He
found ordinary methods of enforcing
regularity utterly useless. officers and
men alike showed total Indifference
to his orders where leave of absence
was concerned. Following the example
of the emperor of Germany, he deter
mined on a series of surprise visits, and
on one of these occasions he found that
many of the officers and men were on
shore without leave. Determined to
enforce discipline at any cost, he or
dered all the delinquents to be placed
under arrest when they returned. This
was too much for the easy-going China
men. That night every man jumped
overheard and went home, utterly dis
gusted with the service.

zOUTDRANk PRINCE BISMARCK.
A Frenchman Whose Head Was stronger
Than the German Had Supposed.

A Frenchman Whose Head Was Stronger
Than the German Had Supposed.
The orators of the French chamber
of deputies are in the habit of slipping
as they speak some sort of beverage
which varies according to the tempera-
ment of each one, says Harper's Week
ly. NJ. Floquet used to drink tepid
sirup; M. Ribot takes sweetened cof-
fee; M. Rouvier, seltzer water with
lemon; NJ. de Nun, pure water; NJ. De-
roulede, brandy. NJ. de Freycinet and
NJ. Constant never drink anything
while speaking. M. Pouyer- -Qucrtier,
who was finance minister at the time
of the national assembly and who pre-
ferred the juice of the grape to every
other beverage, drank Bordeaux wine
in almost any quantity; he has been
known to speak for three hours and to
absorb eleven glasses of his favorite
wine without the slightest inconven-
fence. 1t was NJ. Pouyer-Quertier who
settled with Prince Bismarck the con-
ditions for the payment of the five bill
lion francs which France, after the
war, had to pay over to Germany. The
story is told that one day while the
two plenipotentiaries were discussing
at table the details of those conditions
Prince Bismarck conceived the idea of
trying to make M. Pouyer-Quertier
drink too much. The latter had
scarcely emptied his glass when the
prince replenished it, and the French
plenipotentiary tossed it off immedi-
ately. Prince Bismarck, however, had
to keep up with him and drink in his
turn, so that after an hour the great
chancellor felt his head grow rather
heavy. He gave up the bout and said
to M. Pouyer-Q -Quertier: 81 see that the
wine has no great effect upon you.''
'toh," replied the other, who had no.
ticed Bismarcl1's attempt to fuddle him:
''I can absorb almost any quantity; 1
can even swallow the glass itself"
And suiting the action to the word he
ground Prince Bismarcl1's crystal glass
between his teeth without even cutting
his lips.
