They Skinned the Bishop Alive.
Pope John XII, who succeeded Glenn.
emit V in the chair of st. Peter, had only
reigned u short time when he was taken
sick with a mysterious malady. This
gave him the idea that sorcery was be-
ing resorted to to bring about his death.
There was but one maj he really thought
capableo OF supernatural dealing, and that
was the bishop of Chahors, the pope's
native place. After John had settled it
in his W mind that the bishop was the
whole cause of the trouble, he had him
brought before the college of cardinals,
That body of dignitaries deposed the
bishop from his holy Office and then
turned him over to the secular authori-
ties of Avignon, who tried and punished
him on the charge of being a witch.
The day was set for the execution, and
an immense crowd gathered. First they
skinned the unfortunate bishop alive. re-
moving every shred of cuticle from his
writing body except that around the
ears and eyes, which was burned away
with redhot irons. Next he was laid
flat on the ground and horses hitched to
each leg and arm. These were driven in
opposite directions, tearing the suffering,
bleeding mass of humanity into four
pieces, which were finally collected and
b~urned.-St. Louis Republic.

Early Marriage

DR.. Cyrus Edison comes out stron,
against early marriages. In a paper in
The North American Review he saws the
evil effects of such marriages, both on
mothers and children, are attracting the
attention Of scientific men. He tells us
it is recognized fact that the children
OF older parents are wiser and better than
those of youthful parents. DR.. Edison de-
clares, further, that there are certain alb
normal tendencies which manifest them
selves in physical and mental deficiencies.
and these come usually from the moth
ers side. though how DR.. Edison found
that out he does not explain.
On the basis of the declaration. how.
ever, he informs us next that the voupr.
er the mother is the more weak and IN
developed she is and the more likely she
will be to transmit to her children the
abnormal tendencies. DR.. Korosi of
buda-Pesth, who has made careful in
vestigation of the subject, writes that
the number Of deaths of children from
weak constitutions and inherited diseases
was twice as great in the offspring Of
mothers under 20 as those over 80.
In America marriage is not the only
career open to girls, as is the case abroad.
In our happy country young woman
may both remain single and work for
her living without losing her social
standing, and DR.. Edison is glad of it, for
this has tendency to discourage too
early marriage.

A novel feat Of construction has been
carried through in the building Of the
Manchester ship canal in England. The
route OF the ship canal crossed the old
Bridgewater canal from Lancashire.
The little canal was made to cross above
the big one, as railway tracks occasion
ally do. But the novelty is that the
small canal is turned on and off by means
OF drawbridge. Tight water gates are
at each side Of the ship canal. When a
huge steamer comes along. the gates are
shut down tight. leaving only an empty
sluiceway across above the ship canal.
This sluiceway is swung round by means
OF circular track and engine, Just as
the drawbridges in the Chicago river are.
As soon as the ship passes, the long.
empty tank is swung around again and
the water let on.

A New National Park.

To the Yellowstone and Yosemite
parks. already set aside as national ones
will soon be added third one, not less
interesting than those great sections OF
wonderland. The new park will be in
the state Of Washington, along the Cas-
cade mountain range. If congress gets
done with the tariff, the silver Coinage
question and the Hawaiian question in
time to attend to it, probably there will be
passed this session the bill introduced by
Senator Watson c. Squireof Washington
state to set aside forever the Pacific
forestry reserve as a national park. The
Pacific forestry reserve lies about the
base of magnificent Mount Tacoma. 1t
covers 1900 square miles in the south
western part of Washington state and is
10 miles southeast of the city of Tacoma.
The name Senator Squire proposes is the
Washington National park. But are there
not already two or three things and peo-
pie named Washington? Go to. The
right name for the new national play
ground is Tacoma park.
Carl Snyder writes in The Review of
Reviews glowing description of the Pa
cific forestry reserve. Its length from
east to west is 40 miles, from north to
south So miles, and it embraces a mil
lion acres Of land. 1t is larger than
Rhode Island. As this magnificent tract
in the Cascade mountains has already
been set aside as a forestry reservation,
there will be no difficulty in converting
it into national park. This should be
done without delay.
Great Mount Tacoma is over Is. 600
feet high. the Hottest peak in North
America. Its snow white dome can be
seen at Victoria, 100 miles away. Around
its base lies what Mr. Snyder says is the
most remarkable glacial system in the
world. There are II huge ice fields
from mile to IL miles in length. "All
the glaciers of the Alps might be snugiy
slowed away in minor segment of this
immense circle" Yet thousands of Amer /
leans flock to see the Swiss elaciers
every summer, leaving the greater Won
der unknown at home. In these ice |
fields six rivers take their rise. 1t was
partly to protect them that the govern |
ment set apart the forestry reservation.
