Tortured by Drops Of Water.
PHsburg Dispatch.

Ptttsburg Dispatch.
One of the Chinese modes of punish
ment, especially when confession is
wanted from a criminal, is to place him
where drop of water Will fall upon
one certain spot in his shaven crown
for hours, or days, if necessary. The
torture this inflicts is proved by an ex-
perience of Sandow, the strong man.
When he was in Vienna a few years
ago school teacher bet him that he
would not be able to lett half-litre of wa
ter drop upon his hand until the meas
ure was exhausted. A half-litre is only
little more than pint. Sandow
laughed at the very idea of his not be-
ing able to do this. So a half-litre
measure was procured, and hole drill
ed In the bottom Just sufficient to let
the water escape drop by drop.
Then the experiment began. San
dow laughed and chatted gayly at first.
The schoolmaster kept count upon the
number of drops. At about the 2OOth
Sandow grew a little more serious.
Soon an expression of pain crossed his
face. With the entrance into the third
hundred his hand began to swell and
grow red. Then the skin burst. The
pain grew more and more excruciating
Finally, at the 420th drop, Sandow had
to give up and acknowledge himself
vanquished.

Facts About Presid dents.
Selected.

Selected.
It is strange and interesting fact
that only eight Presidents wore boards.
Cleveland is the only one who had a
mustache alone. Jefferson had the
finest hair of all, but Pierce was per-
haps the proudest of his locks. Jack
son was the most leonlne-like, and
Polk the mildest in expression OF the
lot. J. @. Adams was the most bald,
and Washington was the only one who
had false teeth, according to reports.
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln are
perhaps most mentioned of past Presi-
dents, and Cleveland is the largest
man, per pounds, that ever occupied
the chair.
johnson was the most assailed and
the first Harrison had the least to do
with the Office, as death removed him
prematurely. Lincoln had the saddest
fate, Van Buren, the pleasantest. The
proclamation of emancipation by Lin
coin and the doctrine of Monroe are
perhaps the greatest papers bearing
upon their times that ever came from
the holders of Office. Jackson and
Lincoln were the most fearless, and
Grant the most stoic-like.

IN THE CEMETERY.
BLAINES GRAVE UNMARKED.
No Headstone Shows the Last Rest
ing Place Of the Distinguished
Statesman.
G0be-DenOcr0t.

Probably no American VINO mas oleo
within the last decade was the object
of the admiration and the affection OF
the American people to the degree
that it was bestowed upon the late
James G. Blaine, and yet even in the
capital city almost no one seems to
have any idea of the resting place OF
his ashes. The immortal genius OF
craftsmanship and those qualities that
made him the idol of his party will
be long cherished in the minds and
hearts of men, but his final resting
place is practically unknown and I'M
honored, even by those who rendered
him the most enthusiastic homage du-
ring his lifetime.
Over in Georgetown, which, al
though a part of the city OF Washing
ton, still retains its ancient name,
there is beautiful Oak Hill cemetery.
The name conveys literal idea of the
place. On hillside of sloping green,
falling away to the waters of Rock
creek, and shaded by the spreading
branches OF huge old oaks, are the
tombs OF many famous men In the his
tory of this country. The cemetery
is the foundation of w. w. Corcoran,
who established the Corcoran art gal
Iery, and whose fortune was freely
spent in practical philanthropy in
Washington. Oak Hill cemetery is
controlled by corporation whose rules
are somewhat rigid, and smoking is
forbidden in Its boundaries. 1t is
kept in order by force of dozen
or more gardeners, who are constantly
at work upon Its walks, lawns, flower
beds and shubbery. As might be i'm
agined, it Is a somewhat aristocratic
place of final repose, and wealth and
family name are prerequisites to the
purchaser of lot.
It is said that during Mr.. Blaine's
residence in Washington it was his
frequent habit to take stroll through
beautiful Oak Hill, and that there he
could throw off the burdens of affairs
of State when they became too oppres-
slve. On one OF these occasions he
observed large, hickory tree whose
top had been snapped squarly off in
storm. The trunk was still sound and
up to the break the tree was beautiful
and symmetrical. Mr.. Blaine is said
to have remarked to the companion of
his walk that the tree was fitting en-
blem of his life, sturdy and luxurl-
Gus growth up to certain point and
then a square break. Later he pur-
chased the lot which includes the tree
and there he was buried. At the foot
of the grave stands the initials 81. G..
B." At the head is this hickory tree
and nothing else. And thus it hap
pened that no stately monument with
glowing inscription marks the grave of
the great and lllustrious man. By
his side are buried his eldest son
Walker Blaine, whose death was such
a tremendous blow to his father, who
in later years had come to lean so heay-
lily upon his first born, and his daugh-
ter Mrs. Coppinger. Their graves are
marked with inconspicuous white
marble stones, containing nothing but
the name and appropriate dates.

LUCKY SEVEN.
MR.. BRYAN'S CHANCE.
Number Seven all Through.
Burlington News.

Burlington News.
There Is, perhaps, no superstition so
general throughout the civilized world
as that regarding the figure thirteen
being an unlucky number. How 1t
originated, perhaps will never be
known, but it is generally attributed
to the presence of the twelve apostles
and Christ at the last supper. There
IL also worldwide superstition regard
ing the figure seven being lucky
number, and throughout all the rail-
roads of this country the engineers in
variably select the seven in preference
to any other engine. 1t is said that
many of the roads omit numbering an
engine thirteen because it is difficult
to get an engineer to take charge OF it..
When the democratic nominee for
president, William J. Bryan, arrived
at Chicago, several weeks before
the convention convened, he put
up at hotel, the name of which is
spelled with-reven 1euters-Ciifton.
The clerk assigned him to room No. Z.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements had just seven coupons
printed on the tickets of admission,
and there were just seven business ses-
sions.
The democratic convention convened
in the seventh month OF the year
-July-on the seventh day of the
month, at city the name of which is
spelled with just seven letters, Chica-:
go.
The name of the nominee-and by
the way, there are just seven letters in
nominees spelled with seven letters !;
William, seven letters w. J. Bryan,
seven letters.
He was nominated by III. T. Lewis :,
seven letters, and the first State to vote
for him was Georgia, which is spelled
with seven letters, Mr.. Bryan's home
is in city OF seven letters, Lincoln,
and the State whose vote secured him
the nomination was Montana, seven
letters. The chairman OF the national
committee In charge of the convention
was Harrity, seven letters, and the new
chairman is S. NJ. White, seven letters.
He wears a No. shoe and No. hat,
and there were just seven States that
followed the standard of Nebraska for a
long time before Illinois joined the
procession. .+-...
The name OF the club that Mrs. Bry-
an organized is spelled with seven let
tiers, Sorosis, and he referred to just
seven kinds OF business men in his
great speech that secured his nomina-
ton. There were seven candidates for
president nominated before the con-
vention, and the sleeping car that car
Red him to Chicago was the "Feronia,"
seven letters.
If there is anything Ill this belief re-
garding the figure seven, w. J. Bryan,
who is in his thirty-seventh year, will
be inaugurated president March 4th,
1897. The fact that Mckinley was
nominated for president on the ami
versary of the battle of Waterloo is sig
nifcant of his defeat.
