Invention of the GulIlotine.

Some years before the terrible
French revolution of 1893 a learned
Partisan physician, DR.. Guillotin, turn
ed his attention to deyising a mode Of
executing criminals that would be
more humane than hanging. He was
a man of note ia the scientific world
of his time, having introduced i'm
proved systems Of ventilation and
other sanitary blessings much needed
in that period. So, when the French
national assembly convened in 1888 it
gave willing ear TO his description OF
"whisk off ones head in an instant,
quite without pain" Other matters
were pressing, however; there vas no
money in the national treasury, and
the assembly took no action upon DIR.
Guillotin's plan. The matter seemed
quite forgotten until the reign OF
terror" began. Then a machine made
after the Doctors idea suddenly ap-
peared and was put into immediate
use. It's novelty caught the fancy of
the mobs who attended the daily IKE
cutions, and it was quickly named ia
guillotin," after the man who had pro-
posed it. DIR. Guillotin, who had never
made a working model OF his inyen-
ton and who had thought it quite for
gotten, was SO heartbroken by the ter
riDle use to which his plan had been
put that he left France.

MUSIC FOR
Harmony soothes the Brutes, Discord
Enrages Them.


A student of animal habits made
some experiments recently with music
at the London Zoo. Here is his ac-
count Of the effect on a tiger: The
violin player approached a sleeping
tiger, which was lying on its side, with
feet stretched, tciiching the cage bars.
He played SO softly hat the opening
notes were scarcely audible. AS the
sound rose, the tiger woke, and, rails
ing its head without moving It's body.
looked for some time with fixed atten-
ZION at the player. 1t remained for
some time in a very fine attitude, lis
tening to the music, and then, making
the curious sound that. In tiger Ian
guage does duty for "~purrlng." it lay
down again and dozed. The soft mu-
sic was played on, while the great
beast lay as If lulled to sleep. The
violin was then put aside for the pic
colo. Judge of our surprise when, at
the frat notes Of the new instrument.
the tiger sprang to its feet and rushed
up and down the cage, shaking its
head and lashing its tail from side to
side. AS the notes became louder and
more piercing, the tiger bounded
across the cage. reared on rs hind
feet and exhibited the most ludicrous
contrast to the calm dignity and repose
with which it had listened to the vio-
lin. Then came the final and most
successful experiment. The piccolo
was stopped and a very soft air played
upon the flute. The difference in effect
was seen at once. The tiger ceased to
rampage. and the leaps subsidized to
q gentle walk, until the animal came
to the bars, and, standing still and
quiet once more, listened with pleasure
to the music. There are many men,"
the student remarks, on summing up
his experiments In music at the Zoo,
there are perahps many races OF men,
who could not detect a discord, and
would alike be Indifferent to harmony
and its opposite. Yet among the brutes
on which the experiments were tried
the sudden start of ~displeasure at a
discord was general from the snakes
to the African elephant"

Cub. Tiici IN Song Birds.

Cuba has a robin which Is bigger
than ours and a good singer. Also
there is a kind of quail, darker in color
and much more brilliant than our
quail. Oar kingbird has a much larg-
er representative on the island, where
are also TO be found sparrows with
yellow throats and other sparrows
which are black with white spots on
the wing. The black sparrows are fine
singers and the natives catch them
for cage birds, selling them for a dol
lar. One of the most interesting birds
Is a great cuckoo with a tail a foot
and a half long. 1t Is brown and has
a harsh cultural note. Its body Is
small, but its wings are SO big and It's
tail and neck are SO long as to give
1t an appearance Of considerable size.

SEX Applied to ships.

The word ship is masculine In

guese, and possesses no sex in Teu'
tonic and scandinavian. Perhaps 1t
would not be an error to trace the
custom of feminizing ships back to
the Greeks, who called them by femi-
nine names, probably out of Difference
to their goddess of the sea But the
English speaking sailor assigns no
such reasons The ship to him is al
ways a lady, even though she be a
man-o'-war. She possesses a waist,
collar, stays. laces, bonnets. ties. rib
bons. chains. watches and dozens OF
other distinctly femme attributes.
