HORRIBLE scenes Witnessed at the Exseu-

Horrible scenes witnessed ~ AnS AAASSN-
tIon Of Rebels.
VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 2o.-Ac-
cordIng 10 the latest adVices by man
from China, eight subordinate leaders
Of the Kwangskl rebellion have been
beheaded at WI Chow. They were carr
rIed in baskets through the principal
streets as warning spectacle, amidst
the laughter and jeers Of men, women
and children,
Ten thousand people witnessed the de-
capItulatlon and made It a gala day.
Little children copied their pareH.s,who
ioked at the dying rebels a second be-
fore the ak fell. When all was over
the children played among the headless
and bleeding coTpses and made sport
with the black. dlsfgured heads.
Mandarins and head men improvised
a sort OF May Pole and the heads OF the
rebels were placed on top in tiers, the
children dancing around them. The
governor advised the mandarins to
make the beheading as festive as pos
sible SO as to inspire disgust for the re-
bells In the hearts Of the people. A
banquet was afterwards held.
The Japan Mail says petition has
been sent to the government by foreign
consuls, requesting that beheadinS pe

tImes--agalnst the Prusslans with Gen-
eral chanzy's army of the Loire and
against the Cars soldiers under Baker
Pasha in the Balkans, General Kltch-
ener's, most conspicuous service, how
ever, has been in the east, where he
first went in charge Of a party OF SUR
.veyors in Palestine. He speaks the
Oriental languages with the tluency Of
native.
The Sirdar is strong man, and MS
faults are faults OF strength. He is said
to have little or no sympathy for human
weaknesses; untlring himself, he sees no
reason why others should not be as he is.
His courage In battle Is as prominent as
his.faculty for organization, whereby he
has been enabled to conduct a great
campaign at cost which seems ridic-
ulously small by comparison with
others. General Kitchener has not yet
fallen a victim to the charms Of any
OF the beautiful daughters of designing
mammas and the approach of his forty
eighth years finds him a bachelor.

Great stress Is laid upon the import-
ance Of water tube boilers and 1t Is
said that It would now be hard to find
any design for the machinery Of new
vessels which do not include water tube
boilers owing to the demand for small
weight and high speed 1t is said that
the bureau had prepared plans for such
boilers for the battleshlps last contract-
ed for. but was prevented from INSTALL
ing them because of the departments
decision that the ships should be iden-
tIcally Of the Alabama class. The In
diyldual plans, however. which were
finally accepted, will result in the use
Of the water tube boilers for these ships.
Reference is made to the remarkable
performance OF the little Turblna in
England, but It is said that the results
Obtained do not yet warrant an expec-
tation of the spbstltutIOn of the tur-
blne for the steam engine in the near
future, though the experimental work
will be carefully watched. The engi-
necr-in-chlef includes in his report a
very strong Recommendation looking to
the early advancement Of the personnel
bill now pending in Congress, which he
supports by train of the most cogent
reasoning.

ager the other day, "befell the Tom Keene
company not long ago in northern New
YORK town. The company was playing
Julius Caesar and at the last moment it
was found that the property man had
failed to send up the regular throne chair
used in the senate scene and an old rustic
chair was hastily procured from the loft
OF the theater, and after being covered with
draplng was pressed into service. In the
midst of the scene a large wasps' nest was
discovered attached to the chair and, its
Inhabitants becoming indignant at the
disturbance they had suffered, began to
swarm about the stage seeking revenge
upon the Romans in their low-necked and
short-sleeved dresses. The wasps seemed
to be particularly offended with Caesar
and it is doubtful if Caesars death scene
was ever acted with more feeling, for at
the moment he was being pierced by the
conspirators' daggers, the wasps were
most industrious in their work

IN A SHARKS STOMACH
Strange Discovery of Ships Dis
carded Papers

The British cutter Sparrow, commanded
by Capt. Wylie, while cruising off Cape
Tiburon, on the Island of San Domingo
chased and overhauled an American brig,
the cargo of which, together with certain
other circumstances, gave rise to such a
suspicion that she was the enemy's prop
erty that Capt. Wylie thought it best to
send her to Port Royal for examination
The Yankee captain, not in the least dis
mayed swore positively as to the truth of
his ships papers, which he produced, that
the admiralty court was at length per-
suaded to set him free whereupon he i'm
mediately began an action for demurrage
against Capt. Wylie for having taken him
AT this time Lieut.. Fitton of the navy
who was then a midshipmen in command
of a small tender arriving al Port Royal
went on board the Sparrow to pay visit
to Wylie. He found the captain in very
low spirits over the pending suit and
greatly depressed at the idea of the ruinous
damages that it seemed would be awarded
against him on account of the American.
Fitton, however, on learning the name of
the captain of the brig, advised Wyle not
to worry and stated that he could prove
that the brig was yet good prize.
He went on to explain that while cruising
in his tender near the place where the
Sparrow had overhauled the brig, and very
shortly after that time, his sailors had
surprised on hearing one of the men en-
ployed in cutting the fish open cry out: 6:
Stand by your letters, my boys, for
here's the postman come on board" at the
same moment handing out bundle of
papers from the sharks stomach. They
were only slightly damaged by the gastric
juices of the fish, and Fitton kept them.
Upon examination he discovered that they
were the real papers of the American.
which the captain had thrown over
board when he became hard pressed
and which had been promptly swal-
lowed by the shark. The papers
proved beyond. question that the cargo
was French.
The two officers went Immediately to
Kingston with this rev and important
evidence. but no further investigation of
the matter was necessary, for the captain
of the brig was so overwhelmed upon hear
ing the circumstances, which he regarded
as visitation from heaven for his per-
jures. that he hurriedly escaped from the
island, and the vessel, after all, was con-
demned to the Sparrow. Wylie received
for his share of the prize money some
thing over G30O0
Mr.. Fitton sent the jawbones of the
shark to the admiralty court at Jamaica,
where they still reman.-Harper's Round

GRATING WITH ANIMAL SKIN
Eyelid From Pig and an Ear From a
Calf Fastened on Two Persons

There are one or two curious cases OF
surgical grating of current interest. One
is that of a soldier who was out in the
Soudan and lost his eyelids by ophthalmia.
The surgeons in Dublin determined to give
him new outfit of eyelids and did SO by
deprivng pig of his. They chose
young, healthy pig, cut off his relids after
shaving them, and grated IN on the
skin of the mans eyebrow uer the arch.
The operation has been entirely success
full on both eyes. The skin has joined
and the new attachment is under perfect
control. The man can wink as neatly as
fiirt at a matinee.
Unfortunately the eyelds have grown
hair-pig's hair-and have to be decapil-
arized at frequent intervals. There is also
a man who has an ear from calf grated
ON his head. He lives at Curtis Creek,
Anne Arundel county, Md, and is a Balti-
moro merchant. He had lost his ear by
the explosion of his fowlng piece, and it
was suggested that it could be replaced
from a calf if the calfs ear, or so much
as were needed from it, were shaped in
mold while 1t was still growing. This was
done, and very shapely ear was the re-
suit. In due time 1t was grated on to the
mans head, and has taken root there. IT
is a very shapely ear. but, like the eye
lids of the soldier which were taken from
the pig, he has to have it shaved.-New
Orleans Times-Democrat.
