The Colonial Hanging Cage.

The steamer T. w. Arrowsmith has
brought to Washington the colonial
hanging cage recently dug up near
Bluff Point, in King George county,
Virginia. This penalty for petit trea-
son under the old law of England was
inflicted where a serf killed his feudal
lord and was extended in many cases
to the murder of a husband by a wife.
In America the willful murder of a
master 5y a slave was held 10 be petit
treason and was punished by hanging
in chains. The last example of that
punishment in this section of the coun-
try was given near Alexandria in 1867
6S. when several negro slaves We're con
victed at the Fairfax court, then held
at that village, and hung in chains in
an opening IN the woods near where
Christ church now stands. 1t is prob
able hat the King George cage. with IT'S
victim, was hung in the air many
months and was buried sorae time be-
fore the revolutionary war. The cage
and its contents are the property of Mr..
Cawood of King George county and will
be sent 70 the Smithsonian Institution.

BOY AND
He Gets Badly Mixed Up @ifh "A Barrel
which Didn't Like Fire.

The venerable and familiar moral
tale of the bad little boy who offered
the circus elephant a chew of tobacco
is far surpassed by the new and strict
ly truthful story of ~11-year-old Harry
Manning Of Naltham. Mass, saws Har-
per's Weekly. Harry had been learn
ing TO smoke cjTagettes and one after
noon about a fortnight ago he was sit
ting on a barrel behind Northrnp's
grocery practicing, when he heard foot
steps. Not caringSo smoke IN company,
he dropped his lighted %ciragette into
the bung-hole of the barrel on which
he sat. The statement is that when the
moral elephant in the other story re-
ceived the chew of tobacco he seized
Tommy. the evil-dOer. by the coat col
lar with the thumb ard finger OF his
trunk and threw him harshly out
through the roof of the circus tent. The
event in Harry's case was still more
precipitous and surprising. The barrel
he sat on contained naphtha and re-
jected the lighted cigarette Yifh an in
Simultaneous burst of emotion which
sundered its hoops and gave Harry all
the symptoms experienced by The boy
who stood on the burning deck whence
all but he had fed. Happily Harry came
down In the same township in which
be went up. and Was identified aDo is
still living with biz parents, but an-
other time he will crop his nose INFO
an empty barrel before he drops M
cigarette into II. The narrative OF this
adventure is here cneerfully recorded
as a warning to boys wIo smoke cigar
cites and for use in schools.

HARNEsslNo THE hDEs.
They Should Be Made te Furnish Elec-
tricity to Large Cities.

The tides of the North and East
rivers produce power enough to gener-
ate all the electricity to light New
York and Brooklyn, 10 do ali the me-
chanical work in the factories and ma
chine shops and to run all the railroad
lines in the city and suburbs, says the
North American Review. This power
Is wasted, as formerly all the power of
Niagara was allowed Il eXpend itself
in a proitless way All that is required
is to store this immense power and turn
it into profitable use. The problem
presented differs somewhat from that
of Niagara The tides are periodic and
not constant and the power would nave
to be collected at the times of its great
est exertion and stored for later use.
The Niagara people have already pro-
posed TO run a line to New York to do
what the tides of the Hudson and East
rivers would accomplish right at home.
Either undertaking is a large one, re
curing the expenditure OF millions OF
dollars. But the results would more
than justify the outlay. An mex
haustible supply of power from outside
would prove a blessing that could
hardly be appreciated to-day. The
present cumbersome delivery of coal TO
factories and private houses would be
abolished, and a clean. neat. pleasant
method substituted. The plant could
be located at some convenient place in
the suburbs or along the river front,
where the city air would not be Initiated
and poisoned by coal gases, dust and
smoke. What applies TO New York and
Brooklyn would apply to many other
cities. The tides of the Delaware and
Chesapeake could be converted into in
exhaustible power to give the cities
along the coast a perfect and cheap
electric plant. The great inland rivers
are not so constant in the summer sea-
son as the tides of the rivers and bays
along the Atlantic coast. The rush OF
the waters through the narrow in9ets
of our bays and rivers is so tremendous
that enormous machinery could be pro-
PEELED at a cost representing a small
percentage on the capital III the plant.
The present OUTLOOK is that the Niagara
Falls Power company will in time run
an electric conduit TO New York to sup
ply the motive and lighting power OF
the city and suburbs, unless some en-
terprising body of capitalists under
takes 20 utilize the wasted power of the
tides nearer to home a conduit cap
able Of bringing 100, 0o6 to 200. 900 horse
power from Niagara would cost more
han a four-track steam railway. The
investment of a similar amount in cob
lecting n storing the power of the
tides il the North an6 East rivers
ought to WELD better results.

The recent inland e returns
showed for 1895 a considerable reduc-
ton on the consumption OF spirits and
malt In Canada, as compared with 1894.
The figures have been much commented
upon and In many cases looked upon
as favorable as denoting a decrease in
intemperance. Ii is sincerely to be
hoped by all we'll wishers of the coau-
try that that was the cause of the de
creased revenue. But was It? There
are those who say hat hard times had
as much to do with it as the inclination
to temperance principles and the bene-
fetal result therefrom. Be the one ar-
gument antagonistic to the other or not.
one thing is certain and that is both
agencies were at work and reduced the
demand for liquor throughout the u
try.-Ottawa Free Press.

spuSSY'S FxTAL FISHING.

Desperate Efforts to Make Goldfish Her
Prey.
Two small boys wildly ~gesticulating
and uttering shrill cries of encourage
,ment in front of a delicatessen store in
upper Third avenue last Sunday after
noon attracted a crowd of persons, says
the New York Herald. In the window
was a large globe of goldfish. on either
side of which was a pyramid OF canned
goods. On top of n of the pyramids
which was a few inches higher than the
rim of the globe, a half-grown cat was
balancing herself. The most hasty
glance left no doubt as to what the cat
was doing there, for her hungry look
was fixed on the globe, while the fright
ened fish were scurrying round and
round in a vain attempt TO escape from
their crystal prison. 1t was quite a
difficult job even for a cat to balance
herself on the upturned end of a can OF
tomatoes. Then il was a long down.
ward reach to the edge Of the globe.
More than a score of times the cat tried
it. Often it seemed as if she had
leaned so far forward that 1t would be
impossible for her to regain her equi-
librium, but a cat is quite at home at
this trick, and the suppressed OH OF
the small boys would change to an eX-
formed it. At last, in n OF her at
tempts to draw back, the cat was more
clumsy than usual. and. making a cou-
pie of wild claws in the air, she upset
the top can and the whole pyramid
came tumbling down in a clatter. II
looked as if the fun was at an end, and
many of the assembled crowd had
moved away. when the cat reappeared
and began TO scale the other pyramid.
At the first attempt this time she got
one of her paws on the rim of the
globe. 1t was a long reach and every
body could see that the cat was
stretched out TO almost her full length.
To draw back was out of the question.
Pussy saw this as well as the specta-
tors. She rested a moment to gain
strength and then gave a leap forward
The rim was very narrow, her front
paws Just landed beyond it, and In an
instant the cat pitched head first
into the globe. \ wild shout an
nounced to those on the outside of the
crowd what had happened, and every
body pushed and showed to see what
the cat would do. Ii was easy to see
that she was in a bad predicament.
The globe, which narrowed with a
sharp curve toward the top, was only
two-thirds full of water. The cat kept
swimming round and round, clutching
wildly at the smooth globe in search Of
a purchase. The only way she might
have got out was to sink to the bottom
and leap right up through the top of the
globe, but she kept on swimming as
long as she had any strength. and when
she rolled over on her back and turned
up her toes even the two small boys
skunk away with tears in their eyes.
