japanese officer stepped forward and
with the ordinary service sword drew
it back and forward over the poor
wretch's neck, and then with a swift
blow it descended, cutting off the head.
The next one was as successful, and
then came a terrible spectacle. The JAP
anese officer. after wiping his sword,
drew the back to and fro over the
poor wretch's neck three or four times
before he struck the fatal blow. Down
came the blade on the apex of the skull,
cutting about two inches into the neck.
The poor wretch fell into the pit, the
Japanese officer climbing down and
saving away at the neck until the head
was severed. The heads were immedi-
ately carried over to the main road and
strung up on poles as an object lesson
to the large number of Chinese who
were congregated around with blanch-
ed faces.-Canadian Magazine.

president of the University's medical
college. His researches on the chem
ical phenomena of light in both the
organic and inorganic world include
the most valuable work done by him.
Daguerre's announcement in 1889
of his discovery of the action of sun
light on silver and its application to
the permanent preservation of views
was made a subject of special study
by Draper, and he was the first per-
son in the world to apply it to indi-
viduals. 1.-The first Photographic por-
trait from life" he wrote, twas made
by me, and the face of the sitter, my
sister Catherine, was busted with a
white powder. Further investiga-
tion showed him that the busting of
the face with powder was unneces-
sary. The daguerreotype was pro-
duced after an exposure of six min
utes, and it is now in the possession
of Lord Hirschel's heirs in England.
Within the span of Miss Diapers
life have been invented most of the
things that are so indispensable today
that it is difficult to realize how the
world revolved regularly without
them.

First Person "Photoed. :"

The death of Anna Catherine Ora
per, at the age of 95, which occurred
recently in Hastings, n. Y, is worth
more than a passing notice, because
she was the first person ever photo
graphed, and from the crude process
used then has come our great develop
ment in the Photographic art that
now seems so Indispensable.
Miss Draper was the daughter of
a Wesleyan clergyman in England,
who was something of an amateur
scientist. 1t was natural, therefore,
that her brother, John William ORA
per, after a good education, should
turn his attention to science, and the
world owes him a debt of gratitude
for what he accomplished. John w.
Draper came TO this country with his
mother and sister in 1882, and the
results Of his several Investigations
published a few years later quickly
won public attention. For a time
he served as a professor in the
University Of New York, and in 1850
he succeeded DIR. Valentine Mott as

HA disease called ''hemilplegia'' is
causing a very heavy mortality among
horses in some portions of this state.
In Adams and Hancock counties a
number of valuable animals have died
from the effects of the disease, which
it is said arises from eating corn fod-
der consisting of corn stalk with
husks and the cob with more or less
corn. A poison fungus seems to lurk
close to the ears of corn before the
ears are husked out. Cattle are also
victims to the disease in some local
tiles. The animals become crazy and
seem to 90 blind. They lose all con-
troll of themselves and rear up and
pound their heads against fences,
walls or anything in their way. The
peculiar part of the ailment is that no
signs of misery Precedes the fatal dis
ease. From the time the poison takes
effect until the animals are dead is
said to be seven hours.

Numerous bills proridinc for %

Numerous bills providing for gov
eminent ownership of telegraph and
railroad lines have been introduced in
the house, but Representative Jack
son, of Kansas, has introduced a bill
providing specifically for the Pur-
chase of the lines owned by the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
companies by the government and
their operation in connection with
the postoffice department. There may
be some such legislation at some
time in the future, but, as the Mon
mouth Review observes, congress as
at present constituted will not en-
dOrse the public ownership idea.

Hibben S. Corwin, who has re-
Gently been appointed postmaster at
Peru, H., for about the 'steenth time,
appears to be n lightning political
change artist. No federal administra-
tion can change politically faster than
Corwin can flop" Some people look
upon officeholding as the chief end of
man, and COrwin appears to be one of
these. According to the Ottawa Free
Trader, he was appointed first by
Chester A. Arthur, some time about
1882 or 1888. Then, when Cleaveland
was elected, Corwin turned democrat
and got the office again. Under Har-
rison he was republican and got the
pOstoffiee.
When Cleveland was elected a sec
ond time he was once more a demo-
crat, and when Mckinley was elected
he went BACK to his first love, the re-
publican party, and has been a re-
publican ever since. In fact he has to
be republican now, for in the fall of
1900, during the republican campaign,
he was told by some of the leading re-
Publicans of his county that he had
to be one thing or the other-they
" ould not stand for any more ''flop-
ping
Since then he has confined himself
to the straight and narrow path that
leads to-the postoffice.

President Roosevelt may destroy the

lie and a companion, who, be II said
to his credit, seemed ashamed of the
company he was in, stood in the hotel
rotunda late Saturday night. The little
fellow, was talking about Ireland, and
he said many hard things about the
country and the people. A great big
man stood near by listening to the
little fellows vaporings. He merely
smiled until the little fellow said in
a very loud tone; "Show me an Irish
man and I'll show you a coward"
Then the big fellow slipped up and,
touching the little fellow on the shoul-
der, lsaid in a heavy, bass voice:
whats that you said?"

I'll show you a coward" said the little
fellow. whose kroes We're shaking un-
