CHILDREN OF ExEcUTIoNERs.
Two Rosy-Cheeked Cherubs Who Have
Gallows for Toys.

Two Rosy Checked Cherubs Who Have
Gallows for Toys.
The popular belief to the effect that
an executioner must be a particularly
hard-hearted individual-a sentiment
shared by his Relationship have to
be modified in the case Of M. de Paris,
as the executioner of France is euphe-
mistically called, says Pearson's Week
ly.
NJ Deibler, when he had the mis-
fortune to lose his wife a short time
ago, gave evidence Of the fact that con-
slant intercourse with death and the
sight of the dead had not robbed him
of the sensitiveness pertaining to it
when brought within his own intimate
surroundings. He was manifestly
overcome at the graveside and the i'm
preston he gave Of the genuineness Of
his grief was such that nobody sug-
gested that he was acting-expert as all
French people are in that art.
In pirate life, it is said, he and his
wife were bound by the closest ties of
affection, which likewise linked them
with their children. No attempt was
made to conceal the nature of his call
ing from them and Nine. Deibler was,
it is said, even proud Of her husbands s
profession. Her character was based
on strictly religious lines and she
therefore not unnaturally regarded her
husband as an instrument in the hands
of Providence for the punishment of
the criminals. It is said that their chill
dren had little guillotines for toys. On
the last birthday of the youngest boy
he was given model of an English
galloWs as an object lesson from Nine
Deibler's point of view of the ''perfid-
of its criminals"
Whether these children will grow up
with the taste for execution in their
blood is point which cannot fail to
be of interest to every one who knows
how strong is the bent of hereditary
force.
The executioner in one of the towns
of South Africa, for example, had two
children who were the most beautiful
to look at in the whole town. They
were rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed, gold
enhaired little cherubs who would nev-
er have been suspected of even being
known to an individual who pursued
so horrible a calling as that of public
eXecutioner.
In spite, however, of their seraphic
expression they were perfectly callous
little creatures and amused themselves
by building model gallows upon which
they executed mice which they had
caught for the express purpose of prac-
ticing their skill.

Products of Hawaii.

Besides sugar and rice, the staple
products, coffee, bananas, oranges and
other fruits are largely grown. Food
products are abundant, especially of
the kind suitable to a hot climate, says
Paradise of the Pacific. The native
food consists largely of the taro plant,
of which the best varieties are grown
in the shallow ponds of fresh water.
From this plant is made the poi, which
is the ordinary food of the Kanaka.
The sweet potato grows even among
the rocks and flourishes abundantly
in good soil, while the common potato
sometimes grows we'll, though it is Of
ten injured by worms. The quality of
the coffee raised is equal to the choic-
est. The climate is also very favor
able to the growth of the long staple
sea-isiand cotton; but as this variety
must be picked by hand, the high
price of labor In the islands renders it's
culture improbable. Tropical fruits
of nearly all kinds grow in the richest
abundance, the orange, lemon, lime,
mango, pineapple hirimoya, or custard
apple, the alligator pear, pomegran-
ate and guava, all of which are exotic.
The banana is Indigenous, and is the
most abundant of all fruits; besides
it there are tho ohia apple-a fruit
peculiar to tho Pacific islands, soft,
juicy, and mildly acid-many varieties
of palms, tho choicest trees OF India,
the caoutehoue, the papaya, the trav-
eler's tree Of Madagascar and other

CECIL RACE TRACKS.
Vigorous Protest to the Governor from
the Society for the Suppress
sion of Vice,

On Tuesday Governor Lowndes had his
attenio called to the race tracks in Cecil
County by Il communication from the Society
for the Suppression of Vice in Baltimore city.
OF which Summerlield Baldwin is president.
The letter says: "There can be no doubt
that the law enacted for the purpose of re-
stricting race-track gambling and at the same
time to permit its existence for Il limited
period AT agricultural fairs and reputable race
courses has been openly violated and evaded
by II set of professional gamblers who have
established themselves in Cecil county.
They are for the most part vicious and
grasping men. of whom neighboring States
have rid themselves by the commendable
stringency of the laws
by multiplying the number of new tracks
they have been enabled to continue the races
and the gambling attendant therein through
out almost the entire year.
The youth Of both sexes is exposed to as
sociations potent for corruption and moral
ruin, and the entire community of sober,
busy people is subjected to demoraizing and
depraving influences.
"Ihe society, therefore, respectfully and
urgently requests you to use every agency
within your control to insure that those who
under the recent decisions of the Court Of
Appeals have violated the law shall be pun
ished, and that the citizens of Cecil county
may have every assistance possible at your
hands in the efforts enlisted to etTace this
evil from their midst
Governor Lowndes has referred the COM
munication to Accomplishment Clabaugh.

and which are the issues of the law suit:
Whether the will was executed and attested

SENSIBLE WORDS.

While it is true, that the people naturally
look to Congress for such Legislation as
will at least mitigate il not altogether
relieve the pressure of hard times yet
individual prosperity is to be won after all
by individual courage and enterprise.
Every man must put his own shoulder
to the wheel, and not like the despairing
teamster call upon Hercules to relieve him
During the debate on the Dingley Bill in
the Lower House Of Congress on Tuesday,
Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa forcibly presented
this truth in the following sensible
words
''The American people in ordinary times
look to Congress very much as the ship
wrecked mariner looks to Providence in a
storm not particularly because he expects
anything, but because everything else has
been washed overheard. daughter.
Nor is this slim and feeble faith of the
people in Congress entirely to be reproved,
for in the world in which we live, what
ever we politicians may say on the stump,
the most that is done for us-and you will
pardon the fgure-we have got to do for
ourselves. So, if any man expects the
American Congress to lift the burden from
society by an enacting clause, Or to make
the pathway of business easy and salts
factory by joint resolution, he is chasing
the CLEAN of vain hope. There are no
miracles in the everyday business world in
which we live. 1t is a steady, arduous,

Few people know that all plants contain

their food until it is digested any more than
animals can. The Mount Lebanon Shakers

this reason that their Shaker Digestive Cor

already digested, but it also contains digestive
principles which aid the digestion of other
