In repairing an old house in hartford
England, not long ago the workmen found
several ancient death warrants, bearing
the signature of the Duke of Portland,
minister of King George Ill One of them,
dated June, 1898, gives an idea Of what
legal hanging and quartering were like In
those days. 1t runs:
Whereas, James O'Coigley having
been attained of high treason and had
sentence passed upon him to be drawn
upon hurdle to tho place of execution
and to be there hanged by the neck, but
not until he is dead, but that, being alive
he shall be taken down and his bowels
taken out and burned before his face, that
his head shall be severed from his body
and his body divided into four parts, and
that his head and body shall be disposed of
as we think fit, and whereas we think fit
to remit that part of the sentence direct
ing the burning of his bowels and dividing
the body into four parts our will and
pleasure is that he shall be drawn and
hanged and have his head severed from his
body. Baltimore Sun.

HOMESICKNESS IN THE,
ARMY.
some RecoIfections OF Civil War Times
aud Ideas About the Present

IL dou't rem eber," sRid the Civil war
veteran, THAT soldiers in the army In the
Civil war in this country suffered greatly
from homesick ness, about which we nave
heard more or less In the recent spanish
American war from our armies In Cuba
a I'd the Philippines. l may be mistaken
about this, however. 1t is quite spell
now since the Civil war. and find that
while some Of my recollections OF it are
still perfectly vivid. others, IL not FADING
nrs at least hazy. Then, an not my
self constitutionally liable to homeslcK-
ness. For these reasons it may be tina
the men in those armies did not suffer so
much from Inconsistencies as the men In
the armies in tho recent war have
suffered. don't suppose that men have
substantially changed in the meantime,
but certainly the means of communion
ton have greatly improved. and 1 i'm
agine we get many mora details of army
lfe nowadays. as of everything else, than
we did then; that IS TO say, that along
with news about many other things Of
interest, we get more about homesickness
titan we got then, and that may account
In some measure for the present apparent
increase.
"But at the same time imagine that
there actually ia proportionstely more
homesiekness among soldiers now than
there was then and IL seems to me that
it may be due TO the fact that the men
are out of their home country, away from
their native land; that even in lands less
Distant from their own hcmes than many
parts of their own land would be, they
might have feeling of greater remote :
ness IL there was sea intervening, ana
so be more inclined to Inconsistencies.
'Ihc regiments in which l served In
the Civil war served in various states as
far south as Florida, so that at times we
were quite piece from home and with
greatly different surroundings, the vege-
tstion, for instance, very different from
that to which We had been accustomed;
but as / recall those days now 1t never
seemed as though we were 80 very far
away, for we were still in our own couu-
try. j don't mean to say that we thought
OF all these things then; there was no &C.
casion TO think of them. Perhaps we
should have felt differently If we had
been hey ond an Intervening sea.
"But here's where the better modern
means of communication comes In again.
and where it ought to be Of some use.
Different men have different ideas of dis
tances, and what night seem far to one
man might not seem far TO another; but
the whole blessed earth is just girdled
and gridironed nowadays with telegraph
cables and land wires, and wherever
man may bs, he can never get SO far but
what he is still in touch with home.

II think my most exciting official ex-
perience," said Captain j. f. Stone, for
merly United States postal Inspector,
"was at the town of Carbonville, Colo,
in 1879 1t was a star route post, and
there was much complaint about the nom
receipt of mail, SO / went over to investi-
gate.
1.-The postmaster was q man named VIII
son, who kept a general store, and the
postoffice consisted of soap box on the
end of his counter. When mail arrived,
it was dumped in, and every fellow help
ed himself, an arrangement that worked
well enough until a chap known as Black
Hills Pete came to town. Pete disturbe
the entire system. When he didn't get a
letter himself, he would tear up several
others on the principle that misery loves
company, and, being notorious desper-
ado, nobody dared interfere. l got tho
facts, and as the mail came in that even
ing took seat in the corner and await
ed developments, first ordering the box re-
moved.
"A little after dark the miners from
camp began to assemble, and presently in
came Black Hills Pete. Hewas big brute
of fellow, and l saw at once there was
going TO De trouble. Wnefe Unau leCUer
box?' he demanded of Wilson. I've order
ed him not to use it any more, l said
getting up Who the blank blank are
your roared Peter. I'm the inspector, l
replied. Well, you get me that box
quick, he retorted, and, seeing him reach
toward his pocket made grab for my
gun; but, as bad luck would have it, the
COMPOUNDED thing caught in the holster
"In twinking he had me covered, but
before he could turn loose a quavering
voice called out: 'Petel oh, Petel' The
desperate glared around, and there stood
Wilson holding large tin squirt gun used
for drawing liquors. The sight was so
ludicrous that the bully burst into a
guffaw, and as he did so Wilson let drive
the piston and hurled about quart OF the
strongest kind of vinegar squarely into
his face The stuff blinded him, and be-
fore he could recover himself the store
keeper had two bullets in his shoulder.

fight that ever occurred in the west. Pete

are found in the lungs where tuberculosis
has never been suspected. In other words,

would have subjected them to life en-

When surgeons extol the skill necessary
