EXECUTIONS IN FRANCE.
The Authorities Propose 60 Employ
Electricity by q New
Method.

II importance is to be attached TO
leans are in the midst Of a discussion
as to whether or not death by electric
shock is painless and instantaneous,
the French government is considering
the advisability OF disseminating the
use OF the guillotine for the ex-
ecution OF criminals and the adop-
ton in its stead of a method in
which needles charged with high
tension currents are shot into the
brain, causing instant death. Accord
ing to the accounts given, the head of
the criminal. as he sits firmly strapped
in the execution chair, is to be inclosed
in n helmet similar to that of a diver.
Opposite the temples Of the wearer are
two holes, through which the needles.
duly connected with the source of cleo
trio current employed, pass. As the
executioner touches n button, and so
turns on the current, the two needles
leap from their sockets and are forced
through the temples into the brain Of
the criminal. With them they carry
powerful alternating currents, which
rupture and destroy the brain cells win
such rapidity that one convulsive move
ment of the victim is the only sign that
life is extinct. Whether such q mode Of
execution. IL seriously proposed, is more
merciful than the electrical method
adopted in this country will be doubted
by many. .

WOMEN. OF
Marriage Contracts 2,50O Years Ago
Were Very Carefully
Drawn Up,

A recent treatise by Victor Marx, a
German scientist, defines the position
OF women in Babylonia during the perl
cd OF 6O4-4s5 b. c., as illustrated by the
contract literature of the times. The
contracts indicate that Babylonlan
maidens held property in their own
right, and that there were definite
marriage stipulations relating TO
dowry, incidentally indicating the de-
pendence Of the son on his fathers
wishes in the choice OF q wife.
The dowry contracts were definite,
stating the amount and nature of the
property 20 be given, providing for pay
ment by installments and arranging
for payment by o brother In Ease Of the
fathers decease, the dowry being re-
garded as a legally collectible debt,
payable in kind II money were lacking,
The legal recipient Of the dowry was
the s~on-in-law, yet the daughter (wife)
retained such proprietary interest
therein that, II invested IN realty by the
husband, IL was in his wife's name.
There are indications that husband
and wife enjoyed approximately equal
rights with respect to property, the
control OF children, ETC.; there Is little
reference TO the husbands duty TO sup
port the wife, though it appears that In
case OF divorce the husband paid ali
mony according TO his means.

FILIPINO is GULL1BLE.
This Is shown by Some Not vsvy
scaiy Tricks of YAM
kee Soldiers.

The native Filipino has the reputa-
ton OF being the shrewdest among the
Asiatic races. Like the Parsee, he is
known as the Yankee of the orient,
says the Philadelphia Press.
He lost no opportunity TO trim up
his occidental Yankee brother when
ever the opportunity presented itself,
but the American Yankee, and particu-
larry he Of the Pennsylvania breed,
usually gave him a Roland for his Oliver.
When the Pennsylvania left San Fran
cisco on their way to the Philippines
the Red Cross society gave each one of
them an aluminium badge the size and
shape of an American quarter, bearing
the name of his regiment, his company,
and his company number.
Shortly after their arrival in Manila
the officers of some of the companies
found these Identification badges in the
hands of the Filipino merchants, upon
whom the Pennsylvanians had imposed
them as quarter dollars In return for ar
ticles of barter.
Another trick of the Yankee soldier
was to take n new copper penny, mill
the edges of il with a file, polish the coin
till it shone like gold, and then pass 1t
upon the guileless and u%nsuspicious ma
tives as a ive-dollar gold piece.
The gullibility OF the native in this re-
gard led some OF the men TO write home
for samples of confederate scrip, which,
when duly received, were put in circu-
lation among the yellow packets as
bona-fide American ereenbacks, the ma
tives willingly accepting them ms stand
ard paper money OF the United States.

UNCLE SAM SLOW.


A grizzled veteran Of two big wars
and several smaller Indian combats
was relating stories of his experience
while in the service OF Uncle Sam. One

uel one of the real business men of the

THE CREVALLES.
Constantly CircIinE Fishes Il the
Aquarium That the Children call
the "Merry-Go-Reunds."

Children looking at the c~revalles in
their tank at the aquarium call them
the merry-go-'round fishes, because
they are constantly circling around in
their tank, following one another like
the animals of the merry-go-'round.
The crevalles are singularly nervous
and sensitive, and they are always on
the go, says the New York sun.
These crevalles have now been in cap
tivity more than a year, which is per-
haps longer than any were ever kept be-
fore; certainly longer than any have
been kept in the aquarium, these being
the first TO be carried through a winter,
which wal made possible by the extern
sion of the aquarium's warmed salt wa
ter supply, so that some others than
tropical fishes could have the benefits
of it. The ~crevalle goes south in win
ter, where, In some waters, IL is abun-
dant. II does not come month In num-
bers every summers; its visits are ir-
regular. and sometimes there are none
here worth mentioning for four or five
years; so that on the whole it is rather IA
rare fish in these waters. These speci-
mems were taken in Granvesend bay;
they have doubled In size and weight
since they were put into the tank.
Besides being nervous and sensitive
and easily frightened fish the crevalle is
n fish of beauty with its sides Of solid,
silyery pearl.

READ 1T IN HIS EYE.
The Cuban Understood the soldier
ana st Once Gave Up HIS Pros
psetive Prey.

This occurred at Sibpney, while the
town was In flames. Panic had hold OF
everybody but the American troops,
who were yainly endeavoring to con-
duct an orderly evacuation,
A lanky rough rider was hurrying
through the town on some mission,
says the Philadelphia North American,
when he came abreast OF a half-starved
Spanish woman, who bore every trace
OF wealth and refinement In her face,
n and dress, and was struggling
TO keep a child, barely able to walk, AT
her side and at the same time restrain
a burly Cuban from robbing her OF a
walnut box tipped with silver, which
she held under her arm,
The rough rider took In the situation
at a glance. He couldn't speak Spanish,
so he let loose n wild yell peculiar 10
the genus cowboy, and at the same
time leveled his gun at the rascally
Cuban.
Then, to relieve his own feelings. he
yelled In good vigorous English: We're
down here to fight men, not wom-
EN- and children, and II you don't sneak
I'll drop you'"
The Cuban read the message In the
soldiers eyes and skunk away, while
the rough rider conducted the woman
and child to headquarters, and then
went about his business.

DOLLAR OF 1904 is A MYTH.
Known American Authority
on Numtsmatic

Is there m American dollar of the
date of 1904? If there is, il is worth a
fortune. for il is one of the jack o
lanterns of n~umismatics. In n recent
issue the American Journal of Numis-
MATES goes into an interesting account
of what il terms the myth OF 1904 dol
lars" and denies that any such coin,
struck In that year, is N existence. Like
comets, these alleged coins have been
turing up in most unexpected placesfor
nearly a century. Recently coin deal
ers were excited by a story from Ra-
cine. Wis, which told how a woman
went into a dry goods store 10 buy n
spool Of thread and rendered in pay
mcnt a worn silver dollar, saying that
she did not know whether il was good
ar not. The clerk saw the date "lsOi'
ON the coin, put il into his pocket, and
threw "a new silver dollar into the cash
drawer. lie was offered $1,000 for the
old coin 10y n dealer, but refused TO sell.
In this way the story got out and the
clerks employer put in a claim for the
1904 dollar. Both men have employed
lawyers to defend their titles, and now
the woman shopper is preparing TO
bring suit for the possession OF il.
For years Mr.. NeXsen, an expert of
brooklyn, y. Y, has made a study Of
the subject. lie has convinced himself
and other competent judges that no
genuine 1904 dollar was ever coined.
lie has become convinced that the al
legged dollars Of that date are altera-
tions Of Spanish, Mexican, Bank of
England five-shilllng pieces, or some
such fraud, II is believed that an ex-
detrimental die with milled edges was
made but not used in 1904. In 1879
some one, perhaps surreptitiously,
struck a few dollars on this old, un-
used die, and IL is these that are occa-
~eionally found.

A JONAH ON sHIpBOARD.
Crew Believe a Passenger
n "Hoodoo."

II does not take a long series of mis-
fortunes overtaking a ship to convince
her crew that a lineal descendant OF
Jonah and an inheritor of his disagree
able disqualifications is a passenger.
SO deeply rooted is this idea that when
once IL has been aroused with respect
to any member of a ships company,
that person is in evil case, and, given
fitting opportunity, would actually be
in danger of his life. This tinge of re-
Hgious fanaticism, cropping up among
a class of men who, to put it mildly,
are not remarkable for their knowledge
of Scripture, also shows itself In con-
nection with the paper upon which
good words" are printed. IL is an I'M
heard of misdemeanor on board ship to
destroy or put to common use such pa
per. The man guilty Of such an action
would be looked upon with horror by
his shipmates, although their current
speech is usually vile and blasphemous
beyond belief. And herein is TO be
found a curious distinction between
seamen of Teutonic and Latin races,
excluding Frenchmen, says the London
Spectator.
Despite the .uperstitious reverence
the former pay to the written Word,
none of them would in time of peril
dream OF rushing to the opposite ex-
IRENE, and, after madly abusing their
Bibles, throw them overheard. But the
excitable Latins, after b%eseeching their
patron saint to aid them In the most
ngonizing tones, repeating with fren-
zied haste such prayers as they can re-
member, and promising the most cost
~ gifts in the event of their safely
reaching port again, aften turn furious
ly upon all they have previously been
worshiping, and. with the most horrid
blasphemies, vent their rage upon the
whilom objects OF their alteration.
Nothing is too sacred for insult, no
name too reverent for abuse, and should
there be, as there often is, an image of
n saint on board, IL will probably be
cast into the sen.

THE INDIAN WAY OF DRIVING.
How the Noble Rcd Man Treated
Uncle sans Gifts,

Commenting On the attempt made
by the government in 1867 to c|ivilize the
prairie Indians by supplying them
man, Col. Bob Dodge, Of Dodge City,
says: THE authorities sent the Indians
thousands Of sacks OF flour, pantaloons
In abundance and n big lot of stiff
trimmed hats bound around the edge
with tin or German silver TO hold the
rim in shape. They also sent them n
few light-running ambulances. The
savages, to show their appreciation Of
these magnanimous gifts from the
great father threw the flour on the
praLrie in order to get the sacks for
breechclouts. They cut out the seats
OF the pantaloons, and they cut the
crowns of the hats and used them as
playthings, shying them in the air. like
II white boy does a fiat stone, to see
them sail away.
THE ambulance they were proud Of.
The government neglected to send any
harness with them, so the Indians man
u%factured their own. They did not UNI
derstand anything about lines, and in
stead they drove with a quirt, or short
whip. When the nea horse would 90
toe much gee they whipped up the or
horse, and when he would go too much
'haw' they pounded away at the neal
horse again, and SO vice versa all the
time. This unique of driving
kept the poor animals in n dead run
most Of the time.

GIRLS ON A coon HUNT.
A Number OF Them Have Great Fun
TrsmpinE About Through
swemps.

The young I'M here have discov-
cred a new kind of sport, which is moth
ing more nor less than coon hunting.
They have been out twice within "a
week, and had no end OF fun in tramp
ing round through the woods and
swamps at midnight and later hunting
the cunning coon, They engaged the
services of an experienced hunter, who
has had wide experience in hunting
big game in the Rocky mountains, and
knows all the haunts of the wild an
finals In this vicinity. Four young
women started out under this famous
hunters guidance about ten o'clock a
few nights ago. They wore rubber
boots and their shortest and Oldest
golf skirts. After they had tramped
through the swamps and over the steep,
rocky hills for three miles the hounds
freed a coon. The hunters managed
matters so cleyerly that each girl in
turn had a chance I blaze away at it,
aud there has been a dispute ever since
as to which Of the young women
brought the creature down, says the
New York journal.
Not satisfied with this, they went out
again a few nights ago, but thought il
would be more fun 10 have a few young
men with them SO they enlarged the
party, with the old coon hunter for
chaporone, They managed this time, by
staying out until two o'clock in the
morning, TO get two 'coons. ON their
way bnck one Of the girls got stuck so
fast IN the mud that she had 20 be pulled

tinued with a large hunt some time

vide them up into squads, giving II
hound to each squad, and see which
party will have the best success.
