keeper, led my horse and dray around to
tho back Of the house, and, as l could soc
no one about, ramblod into one Of the cor,
ridors in search OF some one TO whom
could deliver my load. Coming to nm
empty cell, curiosity prompted mo to step

Some time ago man took It upon him
self to assert that tho modern woman has
forgotten how to blush. This imputatloh
was launched at femininity in general
with so much bitterness and Hsperity that
ono might gather thcrcfrom that blushng
is n virtue, and that not 10 blush is Grim
inal Whatever tho connection between
this sudden heightening Of color and inno-
cence in tho case OF women, however, the
blush is considered sign OF grace by
mon. Cynlcs have always maintained that
women can cry at anything and at mo-
ment's notice, and 1t Is indeed pretty well
known that many actresses can squeeze
out real tears nightly at tho proper mo-
ment, but blushing is moro difficult to no.
quire as an art.
Bushes are evidently considered as i'm.
portant by the generality of men. For in.
stance, to call a man ian unblushing
scoundrcl" is q distinct slur on his char
meter, and to tell another that you blush
for him used at ono time to DO pretty
common form Of insult. Even now tho
phrase 1--WE blush to relate is to DO found
In our daily newspapers. Tho poet Young
lays 1t down in his might Thoughtful
that "the man who blushes Is not quite
brute" Darwln's observations determined

Although Cowpcr speaks of "the cups
that cheer, but not incbrlate," there is owl
dence of the intoxicating power of tea. In
China tea is rarely used till 1t is n year
old because Of the peculiar intoxicating

or four grains Of theme arc contained in
less than half an ounce of good ten and

There is u question which quite fro
quently arises, especially after q legal ex
ecutlon has takon place, which very few
living persons arc in position to answer
1t is this: "what arc tho sensations expo
rionccd during hanglng?" Some few who
have lived through tho trying ordeal have
given accounts OF their feelings and sensa
lions during such critical moments, and
from what they say 1t Is not such terri.
BILE way to die us some have imagined.
All concur in saying that nfter ono single
instant Of pain, tho chief sensation Is that
of n mass of brilliant, ever changing oolors
before the eyes. Captain Montagnac, who
was hanged in France during the religious
wars, and who was resuscitated when life
was all but extinct, said that he lost all
sense Of pain tho moment the trap sprung,
Tho next sensation was that Of brilliant,
many colorcd lights, and ho is even said &c
have upbraidod his rescuers for taking him
away from Il sight, the beauties OF which
dehed all attempts at description.
All accounts which the writer has ever
read warrant these conclusions: That the
suffering is but momentary; that n pleas
urable feeling Immediately succeeds; that
colors of various hues start up before the
eyes, and that when these have been gazed
upon for n limited period of time the resi-
