Execution in England.

The number of executions during the
present reign has been much smaller
than formerly. Coke, in the time OF
Queen Elizabeth. remarks on the large
number of persons hanged. In 1850 a
great increase of crime occurred, and in
the following year 63 persons were
hanged IN the small London of those
days But many more were sentenced
than were actually hanged. In Eng
hnd In lTs5 there were 242 sentenced.
and 103 actually suffered. Townsend,
the Bow street runner, said that be-
tween s17s1 and 1887 he had seen as
many MS IL, 1G or 20 hanged at one exc
cution. Twice he had seen 40 hanged
st one time. In the fifty-eight years
ending 1894, there were 736 executions
In England and Wales, or between l2
and 13 per annum. In the first ten
years there were 100, in the last ten I64
which, though actually more, is, In
proportion TO the population, less than
In the first ten, as the population
doubled between 1887 and 1894. The
largest number in any one of these
years WINS in 1877, when there were %,
and the smallest in 1871, when there
were four.-Chamber's Journal.

Same Misaflex

In 1912, during the struggle between
the British and the Beers over the re-
occupation of Natal by the former, the
British made an attack on the Boer
camp, which failed through misman-
sgement and resulted in comparatively
heavy loss. This wns followed by O
Boer attack on the position called The
Point" garrisoned by IS men, In which
the Beers were again successful. They
now made an onslaught on the en-
trenched camp on the Durham flat-the
original position, where the enemy's
colors had been hauled down, and turned
against the British the ls-pounder cap
tured at the point. Doth sides were
short of ammunition. The British
watched the shots from the captured
gun, picked them up and fired them
back again. The enemy were not slow
TO follow the example, so that the mis-
siles served both sides several times

Nearly shorn of Them.

If, as now seems possible, Spain loses
Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippine
islands ss a result of the war with the
United Stetes, her colonial possessions
win nearly all disappear from the map

Uruguay and Venezuela, besides nu-
merous islands, and the colonies she has
retained have gained little in popula-
ton or wealth.
While Spain, once the chief colonial
power of Europe, has been falling in
the rear, the other nations have steadily
been extending their influence and do
mains. This is shown very clearly by

summer excursion to the national cap

the Potomac river TO Mount Vernon,
and happened to be on the grounds
when the Mount Vernon association
was having photographs taken of vari-
ous points of interest, including the
Old tomb of Washington, the new tomb.

PREPARED FOR THE SERVICE.
Young Chicago Recruit with Linn
tied Experience Enlists In the
Regular Army.

He was sturdy young fellow, in
whose breast the fires of patriotism ha6
biaoed strongly. He first enlisted in
Hartigans tigers but the delay in
getting 10 the front was too much for
his temper. He was anxious to meet
With o few Speniards and felt as il this
were denied him his life could never be
complete. So be went to his captain in
the volunteer organization and request
ed permission to Join the regulars. AS
there was no string to him, the captain
said he might go If he chose and that
his going would not be regarded as
discourteous. He was vastly relieved
and took his departure to the station
at SO West Madison street, where he
asked TO be taken up as a soldier.
In enlisting in the volunteers the re.
cruiting officer always asks the recruit
what, IF any, military experience he has
had. This is done that the captain may
have line on the men with view to
filing the noncornmissioped offices.
This particular man had had no expert
ence before joining the tigers but he
was filed with the spirit of the thing.
Capt Bonus, however, cares little
about this matter. Still, II o eoidierly

fact at once. This man had such an ap-
pearance. He uncovered on entering
