DON'T LIKE THE COUNTRY.

Destitute Women Would Rather
Starve In Clties.
House servants have such dislike t
the country that it is almost impossible
to keep them there. This las long beer
acknowledged, but it is rather o sur
prise to the State Charities Aid associa
ton that even the women who have beer
reduced to utter restitution will not re
main in the country, even for the SAX,
Ct home.
The association has been trying te
assist widows, deserted women and
young girls, who are friendless, by find.
ing homes for them in families. In al
cases where there are babies it is diff
cult to find places for the women in
the city, and the association, therefore
sends them to the country.
In town, ,housekeepers will not be
bothered with servants with babies, but
country families cannot afford to be SC
fastidious. They are glad to get serv'
ants. anyhow, and the baby is made wei.

all-work perforce.
The association has done much fol-
the unfortunate women who find them.
selves thrown on the world without a
natural protector, with . helpless in.
FAINT in their care. Some Of the women
are taken to the workhouse for un.
skilled labor, at ~ Prospect place, and
kept there, with their babies, until it is
found that the mothers can get living
for themselves.
Generally it is found that they cannot
do anything but plain laboring, and the
only chance for them is in domestic
service. It is desirable that the babies
shall have fresh air, and that the moth
crs shall retain their offspring. So
every effort is made to find country
homes for the unfortunates.
In some instances the arrangement is
satisfactory onhpth sides. Often. how
ever, the woman and her babe come
back to the city in the course of week
or two. There is fascination about
town life to those that have never had
any enjoyment out of it which is re-
markable.
These poor women, who have known
all kinds of misery in the city, hurry
back to it as soon as possible, when
thereisnothingto look forward to when
they get there. Officers of the associa-
ton have become SO used to this kind Of
human nature that they think nothing
of it.-N. Y. Press.

A Camefs Vengeance.

Camels have great share OF intelli-
gence, and the Arabs assert that they
are so extremely sensible of injustice
and ill-treatment that. when this is car
ried too far, the infiicter will not find
it easy to escape their vengeance. and
that they will retain the remembrance
OF an injury till an opportunity offers
for gratifying their revenge. Eager.
however, to express their resentment,
they no longer retain any rancor when
once they are satisfied; and it is even
sufficient FOR them to believe they have
satisfied their veneance. Accordingly.
when an Arab has excited the rage of
a camel. he throws down his garments
in some place near which the animal
is to pass. and disposes them in such
manner that they appear to cover a
man sleeping under them. The animal
recognizes the clothes, seizes them in
his teeth, shakes them with violence.
and tramples on them in a rage. When
his anger is appeased he leaves them.
and then the owner Of the garments
may make his appearance, and without
any fear may load and guide him as he
pleases

THE OARROT1E
SPANS HOrrifying Method of Exeeating
Condemned Murderer.

Aetnou OF BNee0GlnR
Condemned Marderers.
The garrote by which the anarchist
who killed the Spanish premier was
executed is named after its in
Ventor. Spanish ironworker. who wit
messed q hanging execution Of a rela-
tive on the gallows, which was the
method employed by Spain I'D to
about thirty years ago for carrying out
the sentence of death. Garrote won
oered that a more expeditions and.
therefore. merciful, method had not
been discovered. He little thought
tnen that he would be the one To fur
nish his country with a substitute for
the gallows, but the thought haunted
MIN so long that he at length found
II assuming ordered form In his mind,
and In time the ponderous death-deal-
Ing machine that has immortalixed
MIN In his country came to be q fact.
The two points Of excellence claimed
for the garrote are these: That It can
De made with reasonable care to kill
instantly and that II sheds not one
drop Of blood. Force that is measur-
ed by horsepower Is the agency II
employs and its aim is the breaking Of
the victims neck. The unfortunate is
nrst made to sit in a chair directly
under two heavy iron bars, one of
which Is adjusted on the back Of his
neck, and the other, vulgarly known az
the corbatin, or neck tie under his
chin. Then the executioner grasps the
handle, gives a vigorous twist, and
death Is instantaneous. The entire
machine is made of iron and ordin-
nar1ly weighs several hundred pounds.
Persons who have witnessed all sorts
OF capital punishment are unanimous
In the opinion that garroting is the
most revolving and appalling of all. 1t
Ia not always as expeditions as its in
Ventor made II possible to be. A vic
ious executioner can prolong II prac-
ucally at will, and herein is the sys-
TENS great drawback, as It is now
constituted. Cases are citable In which
the process was prolonged twenty,
thirty minutes, even three-Quarters of
an hour. The executioner merely gave
twist enough to the handle or lever
to choke his victim. Then he turned
it back and twisted again. this time a
little more than at first, and so on until
his spite. having been satisfied, or his
instructions, perhaps, obeyed, he gave
one inal turn and ended the tortured
life. Such was the execution OF Ma
