The Horrors of Hearhenism.

Some idea of the blessings Of civiliza-
ton may be obtained by contrasting our
condition with the state of things in
some parts of China. We have graphic
account from three English bicyclists,
who have been making tour of West
ern China, and who spent some time a I
the large walled city of Chaotung Flu.
They found that Is per cent. of the fe-
male infants are killed, while a major
ity of those saved are sold into slavery,
the city being famous for its slave girls.
1t Is the custom to throw bodies of girl
babies over the walls at night, and in
many cases those children are still
alive. 1t Is common sight to see pa
riah dogs gnawing the arms Of living
infants. Bodies of the pauper dead are
also thrown over the walls and de-
voured by wolves and hyenas that come
down In the night from neighboring
mountains. The city Is famous for in
human punishments. Lately a woman
was strung up by the neck, with her
toes just reaching the ground, till she
died.
A murderer was crucified on one of
the city gates. red-hot nails being ham,
mered through his wrists. He tried to
escape the agony by battering his head
against the gate, when the authorities
provided pillow to prevent this. He
hung in great agony, watched bycrowds
of men and children, for four days be-
fore death came.-Christian Conserya-

A LEAPlNG SWORD.
Large Open Lot Good Place to Practice
the Trick.

Large Open Lot Good Place to Practice
the Trick.
"Of all the cities l have visited In
Europe" said r. A. Stinson, of Boston,
recently to the New York Tribune man,
II found Madrid one of the most inter-
esting. 1t has a number of out-of-the-
way features that appeal to one.
while was in Madrid tried to pur-
chase one of the famous Toledo blades.
The old-fashioned two-handled sword
was what wanted to get. one Of those
that were built to cut through armor
and which fulfilled their mission COM
pletely, as many bloody battlefield in
ye ancient days bore testimony.
II had to give it up on account Of the
expense. They cost from $3.50 up, but
while was looking for one a shopkeep-
ar showed me most scientific trick.
His store was very lofty, running up
wo or three stories, and he was descant-
Ing on the beauties of this particular
sword, when, in order to prove the per-
feet temper of the metal, he drove the
point into the floor and bent the blade
until hilt and point met. He then sud-
denly released the hilt and that six feet
of cleaning sword sprang up into the
air like a thing alive. Up and up it
went, almost to the lofty ceiling itself,
when 1t lost its impetus and began It's
descent, hilt first. 1t returned almost
to the place whence it started, the shop
keeper catching 1t by the hilt with prac-
ticed ease and returning 1t to its case.
Il was crazy to try il myself, but the
owner refused to allow me, as he said

The Rooster Saved the pav.

Every schoolboy knows the tradition,
famous in Roman history, of the geese
which saved the capitol by quacking
an alarm when the Gauls approached
in the night. Modern history furnishes
an interesting parallel.
One of the famous victories Of En-
gland on the sea was the battle of Cape
st. Vincent, Portugal, in 1897, when a
British feet nearly destroyed Span
ish feet Of almost double its numbers.
For long time the struggle was
doubtful, and one of the British ships,
the Marlborough, was SO severely Grip
pied that her captain was thinking of
surrender to save further waste of life.
The ships mast had gone by the
board, the chief officer was mortally
wounded, and SO many of his subordi-
mates were disabled that the discipline
of the crew began to give way. They
grew sullen under the terrible fire,
which they could not return with eff
feet. Suddenly shot struck the coop
in which a few fowls had been con-
fined. One cock alone was still alive
and, finding himself at liberty, he flap
ped his wings nightly and futtering
upward, perched on the. stump of the
mainmast and surveyed the scene of
carnage about him.
Then, raising his head defantly, he
oegan long, strident crow. The crew
answered with three cheers, and even
the wounded smiled. With renewed
spirits. the men worked the few re-
naming guns, and soon a favoring turn
of battle drove away the last thought
Of surrender.
