FOUR CHURCHES SOLD.
Ishpeming ClIich.) Churches Neglected to
Pay Taxes.

Ishpeming ClIich.) Churches Neglected to
Pay Taxes.
Ishpeming, Mich, has furnished the
spectacle, probably unprecedented in
this country, of churches being sold for
delinquent taxes. -Four have thus been
disposed of, and numerous others un-
doubtedly will be.
The four sold are the Methodist,
Presby terian. English Baptist and Epis-
copal. Those that are in danger Of u
similar fate include representatives Of
nearly every denomination there. The
churches are not taxed for city, state,
county or school taxes, but a special
levy for the building Of new sewers was
made several years ago. and all the
property benefited was assessed regard
less Of the uses to which il was put.
1t was generally understood at the
time that church taxes would be re-
mitted, but such action was never
taken. The four were knocked down for
song to tax title dealer. The time
for redemption has expired in the cases
Of the four churches referred 10, and il
rests with the purchasers to say whether
the edi6ces shall be redeemed at nomi-
nal figures.

An extraordinary photograph IL that
taken Of the execution Of a Seminole In
di n In the Indian Territory This is q
picture which shows a man at the instant
VI his death.
Death In this instance was almost as
quick as tie camera, for the man was shot
In the heart apd died, as 10 Is said, Elm
SANITY" The method of execution was
peculiar.
Tho prisoner, who had been condemned
for murder, was takcn To the foot OF a treo
and seated upon a small rock. A large
white heart had been cut from some calico,
and this had boon carefully stitched upon
his coat just over the heart.
This made an unmistakable mark for
the executionors to fire at There Is no 9th
er photograph OF this kind In existence, for
pictures of death scenes are rare.
The quic..est form of execution now I'm
uso Is, say Its advocates, electrocution.
Now York Is the only civilized state which
kills its murderers with an electric shock.
The law under which this system was
adopted here Is stringent and makes 1t inn
possible to take photographs OF man in
his dying moments.
Ii IL doubtful, however, IL electrocutlon
kills its victim so quickly as n bullet fired
into the heart. as was done with this Semi
mole Indian. The instant OF death would
not be SO accurately known
A photograph was taken of negro be-
Ing burned at the stake in Texas. This
was not an official execution, but terrible
form of lynch law, and the unhappy VIC
tim of the mob's violence was tortured for
many minutes before his death.
In France the condemned criminal Is
executed with the guillotine. Placing his
head upon block, In which space has
been carefully followed out to receive It,
the murderer exposes his barred neck under
the glittering knife.
The knife Is suspended at the top Of a
slot and the edge Is set at an angle The
knife Of the guillotine Is as sharp as a
razor.
1t descends with incredible speed and
force and slices off tho head OF its victim
as neatly as IL 1t were head OF cabbage
The guillotine has been the official instru-
ment of death In France since the revolu-
tion. No photograph has yet been taken OF
an execution 10y the guillotine
In Germany the condemned criminal Is
beheaded with an AK. This custom has
come down from the middle ages and Is
supposed To have many advantages, al
though il is not very humaLe - certain.

IRREGULARITIES OF CLANS.
They Have Brains In Their Feet and Arc
Adept Spinners.


Adept spinners.
The CLAIMS body is completely enshroud-
ed in the MANTLE except for two openings,
through one of which the foot can be push
ed out. The other is for the siphon, or
what is commonly known as the "neck"
of the clam. In some respects the clam
may lie better off than we are, for he has
little brain n his foot and also gland
for secreting strong flbers. With this he
spins byssus, by which he can attach
himself to whatever he likes He does not
even have to search for his food, but waits
for it to come to him. He makes "a burrow
in the mud or sand, attaching himself to
the bottom Of the byssus. Then he thrusts
his siphon up through the mud and water
until il reaches the surface. The siphon is
made up Of two tubes the water flowing
In through one and out through the other.
When the inflowing current laden with
minute plants and animals, reaches the
gill chamber, some OF these are sifted out
ard retained for food while the water and
waste matter flow out through the other
tube.
The clam S eggs are carried by the moth
er on her gills. When there are fish in tho
water with them, the mother clans dis
charge the eggs, which soon hatch, but II
there are no fish they cnrry the eggs until
they decay. The reason of this strange be-
hayior is this: When the eggs are set free
in the water, they soon hatch, and the lit
tie ones swim about until they find some
fish To which To attach themselves. They
live for Il time on the mucus of the fish, and
then drop off, sink 20 the bottom and form
burrows for themselves. This curious semi.
parasitic life is no doubt reycrsion of tho
habit of some ancient ancestor Popular

healthy baby until year and half old,
then sores broke out behind his ears and
spread rapidly over his head, hands and
body. A physician said the trouble was
scrofula humor In the blood. The child
became one complete sore. We had to
restrain his hands to keep him from
scratching the sores. We were induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in short
time he had more life. He improved rap

sores and he is now healthy child.". MRS.
