 Cat O Nine Tails

Cat O Nine Tails.
 Some of the French newspapers have been telling about the new method of whipping men which had just been introduced experimentally into some of the penitentiaries and colonies of France. The instrument bears the pleasing name of ''the electric cat" and fEleetrician expresses the scientific opinion that 1t is a great improvement 2pon the Russian knout and the cat nine tails, which, it says, still unfor- tunately figures in many penal colo nies and in the penitentiaries of so- called civilized states. The method of this new whipping machine is very simple and business-like. The culprit who has been sentenced to undergo the lash is tied to post in the usual man. ner. Behind him is wheel driven by an electric motor, which goes round with a velocity that is unpleasant for the victim. The velocity may be regu- lated, however, according to the sever- ity of the trouncipg to be adminis- tered. Attached to one of the spokes is a whip which swings around the circle and the culprit is placed at such an angle with reference to the instru- ment of fagellation that every time it comes around it nips him squarely on the back. It is claimed for the new invention that it dispenses justice i1n- partially and equally. It has no ani- mus against the prisoner, it's blows are given with equal intensity, and it bet ter fulfills the idea of even-handed justice than manual flogging, which ia likely to distribute penalties Yers' un- evenly Philadelphia Times.

Years ago I was stand ing beside gun at state muster al Augusta. when salute to the gov ernor, who had just come on the field. was being fired. The cannon used was of the old-fashioned kind, and it was prematurely discharged, with tho TO- suit that the index finger of the right hand of the man ramming the load home was blown off. The shock, to- gether with the Judgement of flying particles of powder, had the effect of driving the blood back from the wound. during which fragment of time the injured man calmly examined his mangled hand; butswhen the blood did come back 1t came with rush. ars fairly bubbled out in torrent. The mans calmness left him as If by magic at the sight of the blood. and with 8 loud. scream he keeled over in a dead fa..f4t. They used to tell q story there of two men who were working on op posite sides of q buzz saw.

Measures are everything, men but
tho representatives Of certain mea-
sures. We do not vote for men, as
a rule. but we do vote for what they
represent. A personal friend may
represent a system Of government
which we believe dangerous to the
public good. The triumph OF the
personal friend would mean the tri-

vote against the friend that honest
principles may triumph. Such is

How the Best.Dressed Women Will Al
tire Themselves At Easter.


The new spring gowns, made all
OF one material and not with sepa-
rate waists as heretofore, will be
much worn.
The separate waists will be OF
light silks and muslins or other thin
materials.
Almost all the new spring stuffs
are of a soft, clinging quality, which
makes them adaptable to the pre-
sent style of gown.
There are to be some lovely silk
muslins with punches OF flowers
and sprays Of vines and buds worn.
The smartest shirt. waists will be
made tucked back and front from
the neck down, and the tucks will
be rather wide than otherwise. The
great tendency is to make the waist
line as long as possible IN front.
The tailor and walking skirts vii
barely sweep the ground, and the
long trains have entirely passed
|away with the habit and close tit
Iting backs. !,
