AxIllG,s EXECUTION GARMENT


The sam Of 200 guineas bid recently
for the, ..sky-colored vest worf by
King Charles I. on the sea ffoid is not an
,exorbitant price for a relic at once au-.
thentic md CHASTITY. Nothing is lack
ing that might make good Jacobite's
flesh creep. The stains of blood have
been re1igiously preserved by q success
isioh of royalist owners, and it has been
pointed out that of the - buttonholes
only 10 had been fastened. The top
button had been removed, so that the
illustrious victim might more easily
bare his neck to the executioner. He
nothing common did or mean, upon
that memorable scene, but with his
keener eye, the axis edge did try"
Such was the testimony Of q republican
poet, and there is no doubt that the sad
dignity with which Charles Stuart"
comported himself in his last days
reused qualms of remorse among some
Ct those contemporaries who had been
harshest in their judgment of his pub
tic policy. Admiration of the man went
far to redeem the faults of the king,
and with posterity he became at once
the most sympathetic figure in the his
tory of Englandrnot even second to
Mary Queen of Scots. And of her no.
body will ever believe, let the Dryas-
dusts bring forward what documentary
evidence they please, that she painted
her face and wore false hair.
1t is pretty certain, if the purchaser
of King Charles silken raiment ever
thinks of allowing that precious possess
sion to pass out of his family, that it
would fetch far more than he has given
for it. Placed in any museum it would
always be thronged with sightseers;
the combination of royal associations
with grewsome memories would be
quite irresistible. The most superior
person is attracted, though he may
t1enyit, by such horrors as book bound
in human skin, or by instruments, like
the Maiden of Nuremberg, which he
knows to have been used for torturing
real men and women to their death.
This relish of bloodshed-as distin-
guished from mere love of adventure.
Gus deeds-has given vogue to whole
schools of romancers; it helped to ac-
count for the sudden popularity of Mr..
Rider Haggard's tales, as it made the
fame of Maurus Jokai. The taste is, no
doubt, morbid, and ought not to be en-
couraged. But it is natural, and has to
be taken into account. And the psyche
logical interest of it is to show that we
are not, in our feelings, so far removed
from our barbaric ancestors as we like
to think.-London Standard.

RICHES OF THE souDAN.
The Question In England Is How
Soon the Country Can BE
Made to Pay.

How soon can the Soudan be made to
meet it's own share of expense and re-
lieve the Egyptian eNchequer? 1t must
prove, at first, a costly acquisi-
ton. A numerous local force must
be maintained, and although the
Egyptian army estimates may be
relieved by certain reduction of
tie native troops, the military
establishment in the Soudan will still
constitute severe tax, to which the
province can contribute little. Even
in more fiourishing days, before it was
wasted and depopulated by the pitt
less dervish rule, the Soudan was not
particularly productive; its export
trade did not exceed e1,0oo,o0O, and its
chief product was gum arabic. There
is some accumulation of this, it is said,
awaiting more peaceful times to come
down country, and the industry will
no doubt revive and develop. Agri-
cultural enterprise will. probably ex-
tend, especially in the lands longest
recovered; the fertile province of DON
COLA, for example, which, according to
all accounts, has made rapid progress
under the active steps taken to recol-
onize. Nine-tenths of the old popula-
ton has returned, many from the lower
province, and grants of land have been
freely given to all. The same good re-
suits may be seen higher up the river,
at Abu Hamed and Berber, and all
trade will be stimulated by the facilities
offered by several routes-the new
railway back to Wady Halfa, and the
now reopened desert road to SualSin.
As for the heart of the Soudan, Khar-
toum, and beyond, it is not yet in the
Egyptian possession, and it. is still an
known quantity, lis resources hardly
explored. Many think that it is rich
in mineral wealth, and the existence
of great gold-bearing field in this
southeastern extremity has long been
known, the country of the Benz Shengol,
on the confines of Abyssinia, and be-
lieved to be really the site of the Bib
lical King Solomon's mines. The sad
fact IS also known that this auriferous
territory has already passed into other
hands. The man i'll possession is Meme
lik, king of Notwithstanding
Review.

A pretty story is told of a fascinating
English actress. whose name is not

ing a certain charity in the provinces.
She offered a kiss to be put up to auc-
ton. The bidding was brisk and had
advanced in three leaps from two gui-
meas to thirty, when. without further
parley. the round sum of eight hundred
pounds was offered. There being no
higher bid, the kiss was knocked down
by the auctioneer to a colonel in one Of
our line regiments. who came forward
to meet the blushing young lady. Rut
to the surprise of all present, the
colonel introduced a dear little fair
haired boy, explained that 1T was his
grandson's fifth birthday. and that he
had acquired the kiss as Il birthday gift
for him, %whereupon the actress took
the child in her arms and discharged
her debt with interest. The charity. a
local one. in which the colonel took a
keen interest, was the richer by eight
hundred pounds for the g%randdad's
generous whim.

Brttons Are sugar Eaten.

In 1861 the English consumed, ON the
average, forty-two pounds of sugar per
capita annually. That this is enough
for either health or reasonable enjoy
ment is proved by the fact that few
peoples use as much today. For ex-
ample, in 1896 Italy consumed 7.19
pounds per capita; Spain. 1867 pounds:
Austria III hungary, 1854 pounds; Bel
GUM, 22.S pounds; Germany, 27.14
pounds; and France, 2S.24 pounds. In
the United States, where the use of
sweets is said to be injuriously excess
sive. only 81 pounds per capita were
consumed in 1860 and 81 pounds per
capita in 1893. In England during
lS95.'97 every human being. including
babies, invalids aud paupers, disposed,
GU the average, of nearly four ounces
of sugar a day, or SAT- pounds Il year.
Furthermore, neither from the econ
omic nor the sanitary standpoint do
the uses to which the extra sugar ra-
ton is put seem satisfactory. One of
the chief of these appears to be to
courage drinking. Though the OK.
ports of beer from England show a ten
dency to decline brewing grows apace.
Twenty-seven gallons a year per cap
ita. counting women and children. is
surely enough. In America, though the
mount of spirits drunk is the same
fifteen and Il half gallons of beer slf-
tice; aud American beer is light. Tween
ty-seven and one-uuarter gallons was
the measure for England in 1SS:3,: vet
in 1897 1t had swellcd to t%hirty-one and
Il half gallons. an expansion at the rate
of about I per cent. Il year. But. fast
as brewing grows. the weight of sugar
used in the beer grows faster. In
1883 the public put up with something
less than four and threc-quarter
pounds of sugar to the barrel; in 1897
1T demanded between eight and nine
