Census Difficulties.

A census-paper may look like a very
straightforward affair, but to ill 1t up
with literal accuracy Is not always an
easy business. The London Academy
tells a story, said to be new, Of the way
in which De Quincy met one OF these
census-paper difficulties.
The question as to his own occupa-
ton was answered by the statement
that he was writer to the maya
zines" but when it came to the occu-
pations OF his three daughters, his
troubles began again. At last he put a
ring around the names and wrote,
ssThey are like lilies Of the fleld-they
toll not, neither do they spin."
This difficulty, however. WIS not
as great as that which confronted an
innocent family in Northumberland,
England, during a census-c0lumn,
Deaf and dumb or blind" was a big
problem to the conscientious parents.
They concluded that the baby could
hear and see, but 1t certainly could not
speak, and they accordingly put It down
"Dumb." But just ten q powerful
scream from the infant made them re-
consider the question, and they ulti-
mately altered the entry to- mot
dumb, but can't speak"

again into seething fire. Now It was
borne distinctly to the listening ears on
the slope.
Rosecrans was entranced. He seemed
lost in a dream. The charge was the
most daringshe had ever seen. He vainly
tried to follow the movements Of the
young officer, but the rolling lines OF
smoke obscured his vision and he caught
alternate glimpses of the blue and the
gray as they struggled for the mastery.
A long, low cloud Of smoke came between
the watchers on the hill and the fighters
below just as the climax seemed to come,
and impatiently they waited for friend
ly wind to lift the dense curtain OF haze.
Then as the fog lifted they bent eagerly
forward in their saddles and joy welled
into the heart of the chief as he saw the
rebel lines waver and break.
Now in from the left and right pressed
masses of others in blue swinging along
like automatons, hating every now and
then to pour volley into the confused,
struggling ranks of the men in gray Join
ing together with beautiful precision,
they formed a solid wall in front of
which the rebel defense gave way COM
pletely, and rout pervaded their ranks.
The last line of a gallant defense shivered
into clouds of smoke and when Rosecrans
looked again the Union troops were
throwing their caps into the air in their
frenzy Of joy, while the scattered rem
nants of the gray forces hurried down the
bank of the river and disappeared from
view.
AS the smoke again dropped down and
obscured the vision Gen. Rosecrans
awoke as if from trance and, riding hur-
riedly to staff officer, who had been in
tently watching the battle through pow
erful field glass, he exclaimed:
''That was the grandest charge, sir, l
have ever beheld. Who led it,?
Lieutenant Henry of the til Ohio, "
was the answer.-Chicago Chronicle
The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1898-02-17

closed his eyes. "As it is I cannot refuse
your appeal. You may co."
For an instant their eyes met. For an
other instant the lieutenant seemed in
capable of action, then suddenly he
sprang forward, grasped his chief by the
hand and exclaimed fervently: THANK
you, general, from the bottom of nv
heart"
Waste no time" said his chief, serious
ly. ride for your life. Think what it
means to be absent when your comrades
are engaged in battle. Think of your fu-
ture if you fail to return in time"
1t was warning kindly expressed and
Lieutenant Henry grasped it's full signifi-
canoe.
Twenty miles on his journey that night
through the woods and jambyes that be-
set his path young Henry was thrilled
with the thought that he had to run the
outposts of two armies. What would be-
come of him if he ran into the lynx-eyed
sentries of either line? Musing thus, he
was awakened by the sharp cry Of:
"Haltr'
His only reply was to crouch low over
the saddle and dig his spurs fercely into
the flank of his mount The horse re-
sponded CALAMITY and shot obliquely into
the gloom. The sharp crack of rifle
sounded close by and bullet whistled
over the young riders head followed by
the shrill cry of the guard, which grew
fainter and finally died out as Henry
plunged through the cedar thickets. Long
before the first faint streaks Of dawn il
lumined the sky a song of joy arose in his
heart, when his eyes caught the Pickering
lights of Murfreesboro. With only
thoughts of his suffering wife and new
born little one in his mind, he rode boldly
forward and plunged headforemost into
q squad of Confederate infantry. There
was no chance to return. A dozen long
squirrel rifles were leveled at his head and
the husky voice of the first sergeant in
gray commanded him to advance He
rode forward with his head erect, but his
heart sinking within him. On the very
threshold of success he saw his mission
fluttering idly to the ground.

SLlCiNG CRIMINALS IN CHINA.
An AtrOcious Law that IL Happily
Coming Into Disrepute.


The horrible means used for inf1ict lg
the extreme penalty Of the law by the
Chinese has been the subject Of many
articles all over the civilized world, but
Of late little has been heard of these
FLOODED executions.
1t seems, however, that, although the
memorable indiscretionary law has
passed out Of existence in the more
civilized portion Of the empire, it is
still in effect in other localities, where
the condemned is put to death by the
slicing process. A case has recently
come to light in the northern part Of
China, and although efforts were made
to save the offender, they were unsuc-
cessful and he was killed in the old
time way-literally butchered alive.
The victim was boy II years old,
who while playing with piece of met
al attached to cord, accidentally
struck his mother on the head, her in
jury proving fatal. By peculiar Chi
nese law the child who kills a parent,
wilfully or by accident, must pay for
the act with his life. The child in this
case was accordingly taken into Gus.
tody at once, a mere form of trial was
gone through, and verdict Of guilty
found and sentence Of death by the
knife passed.
The condemned Is tied upon a table
similar to those used for surgical oper-
ations in this country. The feet and
hands are firmly tied together and he
is strapped to the board In such a man
ner that only slight movement can be
made. He is neither hooded nor gag
ged, his prosecutors listening to his
cries and watching the horrible facial
contortions until death comes. A keen
edged knife is used, the executioner
first cutting away the feshy part of
the body, beginning with the sides Of
the trunk from which large steaks are
cut. The abdomen Is next slashed, but
in such "a manner that If there is still
life in the body the cutting will not
prove fatal at once, the great object be-
ing to produce as much suffering as
possible. The lower limbs are now
stripped of flesh, followed by the arms,
Few live after the first few slices have
been taken away, but that makes no
difference to the executioner, who fin
ishes his fiendish work until only the
skeleton remains.
