WITH DEATH PENALTY.
In Montenegro the Wearing of .
sOiled Uniform Is a Capt.
tai OHense.

A man need not commit murder to
be punished by the loss of his life. OF
course, a person governed by the laws
of Great Britain and Ireland can nc
longer be hanged for such offenses as
forgery, horse stealing, burglary, cru
city to animals and highway robbery,
as he might have been half century
or so ago. But the deserter in war
may still be shot for his offense, while
even INSTRUMENTATION of an agra
waited nature can be visited with death
as it's penalty.
But although there are few crimes
for which a man may be hanged in
this country, on the continent and
further abroad the death sentence is
permitted as the wages of many an
odd form of sin, says Pearson's
Weekly.
In China, for example, all the off
GERS of bank that fails are deprived
in most curt manner of Their
heads. According to one of the great
est authorities on matters oriental
not single bank has broken for over
500 years.
The heather Chinee deems the desc.
Grafton of graves one of the most UNI
pardonable of crimes, and according
to law any man finding another in
the act of robbing graveyard, may
legally kill the villain on the spot
without fear of consequences.
If Turkish baker palms off loaf
of bread on you that is proved to be
of less weight than it is represented
as, you can instruct a policeman tc
nail the defaulter by one of his ears
to the door of his shop so as to be in
full view of the passers-by. The poor
wretch will then be provided with
sharp dagger or knife, with which he
may cut himself free so soon as he
can summon up the necessary courage
required for the operation of self
manning.
In many of the oriental countries
where precious stones are looked upon
as well-nigh sacred objects it is nc
uncommon thing for jewel-robber tc
be punished with death. In Thibet.
the penalty for falling from your
horse when taking part in any mill
tary operations or public athletics is
death.
One writer recalls how he saw man
shot in Montenegro for appearing at
a review wearing a stained uniform.
1t is said that even to-day in the
German empire the crime of lese ma
jeste is occasionally punished by
death, though the legal penalty is a
term of Imprisonment of doubtful
length.
In Russia the same offense, which
is briefly described as treason, is fire..
quently visited by instantaneous
death.

DOGS HUNT MEN IN TEST.
Virginia officials Pursue Negro and
White with Imported
Hounds.

A white man and a negro were pur'
sued the other day by three fierce dogs
imported from the Georgia swamps TO
run down criminals. AS an experiment
the hunt was success in every par
ticular. The two men started from
Suffolk, Va, two hours ahead of the Off
GERS and dogs. The dogs were turned
loose on the edge of the town and
started away at a rapid pace, following
the trail with seeming ease. The men
who had volunteered to be hunted had
not anticipated such an early arrival of
the dogs, and their first warning of the
brutes approach was the deep and
ominous baying of the hounds in the
distance. Thoroughly frightened, they
climbed trees. They feared that they
might be torn to pieces by the dogs. 1t
was a close shave, for as the first dog
was within ten feet of tree the man
had just made the first branch.

THE NEXT THING NEEDED.
Navy Now Looking for ArmOr Device
to Overcome Superior Penetra-
tiOn of SOft-Nosed Cap.

Consideration is being given by
naval experts to the invention of some
armor device which will overcome the
superiority impaired to an 'armor-pier-
cling projectile by soft steel cap. The
bureau of ordnance has received sew
eral suggestions. the adoption of which,
their authors believe, would nullify the
effect of the soft-nosed shells.
As the United States has led all 9TH
er nations in the adoption Of the soft
nosed cap. there is no crying need for
haste in providing American men-of-
war with additional protection. The
authorities understand, however, that
the success of American experiments
with the cap will lead other nations to
adopt the invention, and il is therefore
desirable that some plan should he do
termined upon to overcome the supe-
riority of the shell.

FOREIGN GOSSIP.

There is no canning industry among
the Chinese. All of their sauces and
com potes are preserved in earthenware
jars, or in old wine and beer bottles.
The catch of salmon in Canadian wa
tiers last year was valued at $3,159,306,
decrease of So, 500, 1858 when compared
with the returns of the previous year.
The French conseil d'etat has just
declared that i'll health consequent on
typhoid fever contracted by soldier
in barracks implies the responsibility
of the state and confers the right to
pension.
There is no market place in Corea
of any consequence for foreign meats,
lard or pork stuffs. The diet of the ma
tives consist chiefly of rice, with fresh
or salt vegetables, fish-which abound
in the adjoining waters-and beef.
A useful addition to the dietary of
invalids in England has been made in
the shape of Siberian cartridges, which
are killed when in prime condition and
conveyed frozen by sleigh, rail and boat
to London. They are said to be re-
markably tender and delicate eating.
A new act, which has just come into
force in Scotland, enables prisoners
who are convicted of such offenses as
drunkenness and fined, with the option
of Imprisonment, to obtain their re-
lease after serving a portion of their
time on payment of proportionate
amount of the fine.
Second only to the French are the
Chinese when it comes to culinary art,
and with simple materials they will
contrive to put together meal which
would shame an ordinary American
cook. In peasant families the wife or
daughter does the cooking, but in all
large establishments the cooks are in
variably men.

Supreme Court Sustains the FOOt-Eass

Justice Laughin, in Supreme Court, Buff
talo, has ordered permanent injunction,
with costs, and full accounting of sales, to
issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manufac-
turer of the foot powder called "Dr. Clark,s
Foot Powder" and also against retail deal
er OF Brooklyn, restraining them from max
ing or selling the Dr. Clarks Foot Powder,
which is declared, in the decision of the
Court, an imitation and infringement OF
Foot Ease" the powder to shake into your
shoes for tired, aching feet, now so largely
advertised and sold all over the country.
Allen S. Olmsted of LIE Roy, n: Y, is the
owner of the trademark "Foot-Ease," and
he is the first individual who ever advertised
a foot powder extensively over the coun-
try. He will send sample Free to anyone
who writes him for it. The decision in this
case uphods his trademark and renders
all parties liable who fraudulently, attempt
to profit by the extensive Foot Ease" adj

road functions, and Defore we reatheu
Chattanooga there were ~ coaches full
of unrepentant, unreconstructed rebels.
Our Carters~ille boys were quiet and
sober, but even old Father Alday was
as happy as if he had been sitting in the
amen corner of the Methodist church.
He, too, had fought and bled with the
Texas Rangers, and the confederate
cause is part of his religion, for he is
now a preacher. He sang song, part
of which was "DiNie" and the other
part Coward, Christian Soldiers" and
it had a refrain about Fight on, my
soul; Ne'er think the victory won, Nor
lay thine armor down."
At Tullahoma he spied some beauti-
full Strawberries and bought a whole
crate of SO baskets, and his good, pa
triotic wife distributed them to the
veterans in our car. There were just
36 of us, and we had a whole basket for
each. All along the line in Tennessee
pretty girls came to the doors of their
homes and cheered us, and waved little
confederate flags. l could not hear all
the good stories the boys were telling
as we speeded along, but scraps came
to my eager ears-scraps about old Joe
Johnston and Chickamauga and MUIR
freesboro and Franklin and Hood and
Longstreet-I think we whipped 'em
everywhere, from the way the boys
talked about it.
But it would take a book to narrate
the stories of the boys, for it is fact
that the experience of most any veteran
would fill book full of interesting
reading. Some of it would be thrilling;
some sad, some amusing, and all inter-
esting. The campfire stories of the
civil war will never be written. Ten
thousand books could not contain
them, but at these reunions many of
them are retold, and the boys find will
ing listeners. These reunions are pre-
servers of history and of heroism.
They impress the north with feeling
of respect and reverence for our earn
estness and our abiding faith in the
Justice of our cause. There is no weak
ening, no surrendering of principle;
we still say to the northern soldier:
You thought you were right, and we
forgive you, but you mustn't do so any
more"
The venerable and venerated DR..
Palmer delivered a grand address that
should be read and pondered by the
youth of the south. He has exhausted
the argument and no answer can be
made to it. Louisville is all ablaze with
emblems and confederate
glory, and the city is ours.
But l can't see the end of this great
reunion. Comrades have nearly shaken
my arm off already, and the boys have
trodden on my sore toe hundred
times. Ny evening maps are broken up,
and my garden needs looking after, for
l am the boy-the only boy-and I
know that my little pets are moaning
for me. And more than all this, to-
morrow is my wife's birthday; and, as
Cowper wrote of John Gilpin:
Tomorrow is her birthday,
And how the folks would stare
If she should dine at Gainesville
And l should not be there"

1t may be, however, that Louisville

have whipped this fight and the vic
tory is ours; after so long a time we
are slowly and surely killing off the
ISLANDERS. Barbara Freitchie and
Sheridan's ride are dead and buried.
The fact has now been established
that little Phil Sheridan never rode at
all-or. if he did, he rode the other
way-Gen. Manning has settled that,
and even the northern press admits it.

FORGOT HIS NAME.
ton story About Absent
Mindedness.

As an evidence of absent-minded-
ness, here's story told by a young
Baltimore man about himself that can
hardly be surpassed. The youth in
question had not been given any mid
die name by his remiss parents, but
early in life. as soon. in fact, as he
recognized the inconvenience of not
having one, he assumed the letter "E''
as part and parcel of his cognomen,
and used it ever afterward, says the
Baltimore News.
This E, of course, stood for moth
ing. To have chosen a name for him
self would have been too much trou-
BILE for this pleasure loving man;
it was bad enough to have to select a
letter. But time came when he had
to exert himself to make choice, for
he went over to Washington one day
to patent small invention of his
own, and the clerk in the department
was inoculated with that curiosity
that seems to infict everyone in
Uncle Sans employ.
''What is your middle name?" he
asked the young man after he had
inquired his age and the number of
his teeth and the cause of his great
grandmother's death, surveying the
Z as if he had grave suspicious about
it. Ernest" replied the youth on the
spur of the moment, by way of keep
ing up his reputation as an inventor.
Ernest" suited the government in
quisitor, as he wrote it down.
All went well until about two
months after, when the signature of
the Baltimore man was again re-
quired in Washington. Then, to save
his life, he Conduit think of his mid
die name. Egbert and Ethan and all
the rest of the list he went over and
over, but he had forgotten entirely
the one he had given.
Finally, as a last resort. he wrote to
Unolc Sans minion for the informa-
ton, and that worthy, doubtless very
much astonished, supplied it, where
upon our absent-minded genius, for
fear of further embarrassment, wrote
it in his notebook until he had time,
as he had expressed it, to learn it by
heart.
