EXECUTIONERS.

Tn Spain the office of executioner Is. or was, hereditary, and in France it be- came practically so.
 In earliest Roman days the sentence of death was carried into effect by the accuser and similar practice was in vogue in the Crimea when that was Q kingdom.
 Formerly in Germany the duty of executionerdevolved upon the youngest member of the community, in Thurin- gia upon the latest settler and in Fran conia, justly, upon the newest married.
 The dignity of the function of put ting into effect of the sentence of death was better recognized in ancient times than it is to-day. In old Greece the presentation of the hemlock waa an honorable service and the man who performed it was ranked by Aristotle above ordinary magistrates.
 In the code and sacred books of the Parsees no provision is made for capital punishment, but a culprit is to be beaten with thongs a number of blows, proportloned 10 his offense. and if he succumbs TO one is to blame.

HE WAS REvENGED.
Thought He Had Run In on High- Toned People, But Came Out
 Unscn.hed.

A young man about town was caught in one of those sudden downpours of rain that have lately astonished the natives He was on Elchd avenue at the time, and oheyinQ the hrst impulse of self-protection, ran up the nearest walk and placed himself meath the sheitering roof of house porch. It was early m the evening, and yet the house. he noticed was quite bright with lights. It was a rather narrow porch and he stood close by the front door while the rain came down in wild gusts.
 Pretty soon the door was opened and trim maid stood m the opening. She looked at the storlnbound youth, and he looked at
 Wont you step in?" she asked.
 He stepped in, good deal pleased at this example of unexpected Samaritanism.
 Inc maid looked at him again. <. Which of the ladies-?" she began, and then he knew that he was mistaken for caller.
 Even as he wondered what explanation ne could make magnificent matron of gen erous proportions swept from the parlor with outstretched hand.
 She stopped short when she saw that she didn't know the youth
 Pardon me, madam" he said; T seem to be the victim of an innocent mistake. The sudden rain drove me to the shelter of your porch, and your maid, evidently mistakino me for somebody else, invited me in. I cer. taInly have no desire to intrude."
 ne magnificent matron looked at him with critical eyes
 Then she turned to the maid. Janet, she said, in severely emphatic tones, take this young man to the kitchen and give him an umbreller." And when the youth heard her say "um. breller' he felt that he was amply avenged Tor the humiliation of the situation.-Cleye- land Plain Dealer.

A Woman,a Coolness.

Mrs. Geo. Meyers, of Little Rock, was the heroine of an exciting runaway the other day, in which her coolness and presence of mind probably saved her life. She was out driving, and the team became frightened and started at break-neck speed down one of the prin- cipal streets of the city. Holding to the lines, Mrs. Meyers stood erect in the carriage and guided the team safely past all obstacles, which was most diffi- cult on account of the many vehicles on the street. After racing about a mile and half the team was stopped near the bank of the Arkansas river, and the lady stepped from the carriage unharmed.

There is more Catarrh in tb,a sect;on of

There Is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to- gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by con. stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
 Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by k. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio. is the onlv constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to . teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure: Send for circulars and testi- monials. Address F. J.
