BURNING WOMEN.
Satisfying the Savage Human In
kllncI of CrueliY.

The horrible punishment OF burning
women alive seems to have existed in
Saxon, England, but perhaps only in
the case of slaves, says the Athenaeum.
Under the Norman rulers, any woman,
bond or free, who killed her husband,
was burned alive, and the same punish
mcnt for this crime, and also for high
treason. and ever for coming and other
minor otfenscs, continued or arose from
time to time through the SECOND and
third periods until il was abolished by
act of parliament in 1890, the last actual
execution of this kind having. however,
taken place six years earlier. The whip
ping of women for various offerses con-
tinuel even later; public whipping
was not abandoned until 1917, und cases
of private whipping occurred rs late as
1890.
There can be no doubt, we think. that
the savage human instinct of cruelty
had something to do with the barbarous
punishments above mentioned. AS the
old Roman public louged for the
carnage of the circus, as the Spanish
populace crowded to the luto-Ca-fe in
the fourishing days Of the inquisition,
so the lower (perhaps not only the low
cD strata OF English nationality took
delight in witnessing tortures which,
in all probability, were deyised and
kept up partly for their entertainment.
Mr.. Cleveland tells US that Judge
Jeffreys, in sentencing y woman to be
whipped, is reported to haveaaid:
"Hangman, I charge you to pay par
tcular attention to this lady. Scourge
her till her blood runs down. 1t is
Christmas time, cold time for madam
to strip; see that you burn her shoul-
ders thoroughly"

The March number of the American
Monthly Review of Reviews is another
achievement in monthly journalism.
The topics treated in this magazine are
such as occupy much space in the daily
press but the Review is able to treat
them more deliberately and in more
carefully adjusted proportion. No other
illustrated monthly appearing on the
first day of March will have so much rs
a reference to the De LONE letter, the
Maine disaster, or the Zola trial in Paris !;
but these great themes Of the hour arc
fully discussed in the Reviews pages.

manded an indemnity. He was put off
from day TO dey, and finally from week
to week, until he made up his mind that
he was either going to do his duty or
lose his position, SO he snid nothing
more about the matter, but waited for

Baby Beef.

The 3 and 4-year-old steer of a few
years ago is becoming very scarce in the
West. and the and g. year-old steer is a
curiosity. The majority of the cattle
going to the feed lots are 2-year olds aud
short threes. 1t is probably more profit
able for the cattle grower to rush his
stock through as soon as they reach a
fair size, utthese same cattlemen, when
they want good piece of beef for their
own use, 90 after the matured steer, and
no steer has reached his full growth un-
til past years of age. An old cattle
man was discussing the matter the other
day and made the assertion that no beef
was fit to eat until 4vears of age. "rhe
young beef is watery, no substance to it,
and II you try to cook steak rare, it
comes to you raw. The matured beef is
always the best. 1t does not swell up in
the pot when you boil it, and you do not
have to boil it all to pieces to make it
tender. You can have the baby beef, if
you want it, but give me the old steer,
or years Of age, with good flesh and
fat. The fat must not be all on the out
side. as on young beef, but speckled all
through the flesh. That is the kind of
beef that is beef" That is the way the
old cattleman put it, but just the same
rs long as the demand is for young cat
tie, they are only too willing to supply
the demand, but the growing demand
for older cattle seems to indicate that
the baby beef is not as popular as it has
been reported to be.-Denver Stockmal.

ENeLAno's COAL SUPPLY.
IL NervousIy Discussing Its Possible
ExhEuHtiOn.

Once again England nervous'y is dis
cussing the possible exhaustion of her
coal supply, which forms the backbone
of her commercial supremacy. Leon
ard Courtney, as president of the Sta
tistical society, this week more than
confirms Prof. Jevons' view that the
supply will be in peril within All or
dinary lifetime. The output for 1886
actually was 30 per cent. less than it
would have been if the rate of progress
in Jevons' time had been maintained.
While the British output has increased
less than 2k times since 1850, the
American output has increased tenfold,
while the American cost of output has
greatly increased. This confirms the
Spectators belief that America soon
will occupy position of unchallenged
supremacy in the industrial world.
England must adjust herself TO n
smaller output of coal and iron, and Il
readjustment of vocations.
If adds the Spectator, English
supremacy be destroyed, it will be not
through the failure of coal, but through
incapacity to keep pace with the electric
development in America and Germany"

Jack Thinks His Dushe eI of Buc XIV h eat

The total failure of the beechnut
crop has brought the Maine bears to
the verge of starvation, so that many
sly old animals are coming out to the
clenrings and getting shot while look
ing for something to eat, says the Bos-
ton Herald.
Jack Gilpatrick, an aged bear hunter,
who occupies camp on the side of
Chicks hill, in the town of Clifton, gave
mp the hunt and took in his traps a
month ago and went to shooting and
poisoning bobcats, because he could
find no bears. Late in October he went
out for more wildcats, and in passing
through beech wood saw recent
traces OF a bear that had Eeen scrareh-
Ing up the falling leaves and eating
what few hcechnuts of last years crop
he could find.
The next day Jack went down to the
store and bought bushel of new
kind of buckwheat, which had large
kernel, A grain of buckwheat bears
the same relation to beechnut that u
snowfall does to satellite; they are
shaped alike, but one is infinitely larger
than the other. But Jack boiled his
buckwhcat all night, and when he
spread it among the beech trees the
next morning bear that wore mag
nifying glasses might possibly mistake
it for hecchnuts. Some hunters came
nlong while Jack was setting his bear
traps among the buckwhcat, and Gov
ering them with leaves, and when they
saw what he was doing made fun of
him and told about him at the post Of
flee, so that everybody heard of it and
the story got into the newspapers.
Two Hnys later Jack took n big fat
bear Ia Bangor and sold it for $50.
Since tkcn he hns caught two smaller
bears from the same lot and is looking
for more. As the bushel Of bucllwheat
cost but 70 cents Jack thinks it was a
good investment,

Consumers sometimes complain at
the price of dairy products, but
usually give no thought as to
whether the product has been
handled in clearly Or a filthy
manner. The present prices are
none too high, and much of the
time are too low, for good, clean
articles; but it would be serving
many producers of dairy products

horning cows af-
ter their horns have grown, rather
than when calves. They are easier
trained to the StanchiOn when their
horns have grown; they also learn
to fight with their horns and when
they are taken off they rarely learn
to fight without them, seeming to
feel their loss. Spring is the best
time to do it, and the Keystone
clippers are the best instrument.
BY their use four men can dehorn
cows at the rate of two a minute.
When cows are dehorned they are
kept fat more easily than before.
1t takes more feed to keep horns
fat than any other part of the
organism. Whale-oil soap solution,

all good to keep off the fly.-[Cal-
