England has a school for the edu-
cation of hangmen. This latest ad-
junct to civilization in Great Britain
was established as the result of
bungling work by eXecutioners during
the last few months.
The work of hangman is light and
the pay high, SO there are already a
number of pupils at the school which
is in London. A session there is an
interesting sight. One Of the pupils
acts as the subject, the attendants
taking turns playing the role of the
condemned. Hanging consists not
merely in placing a man over a trap
door and launching him into space by
releasing a bolt. There are various
nice preliminaries to be gone through.
First the condemned must be ar
tistically pinioned. Then he must
be supported on his way to the scat
fold in order to avoid painful scenes.
After that there is the rope to be ad-
justed quickly and without fumbling,
in order that the agony may not be
prolonged on the scaffold. The rope
must be strong enough to bear the
weight OF the condemned, but not SO
thick as to slowly choke the CON
demned to death.

The married daughter, who lived
in distant town, had come home for

One bright morning the ladies of

after they left the bell rang, and Pom
pey recognized in the caller a former
dear girl friend of his young married
mistress.
Are the ladies in, Pompey?" said
the young lady.

The extraordinary annual fete of
the Quat'z-Arts ball in Paris was or
ganized, for the first time, in 1898, by
students of the four divisions of the
national art school of the BeauX Arts
that is, painting. sculpture, engrav-
Ing and rchitecture-whence its title
of "Quatz-Arts," the Philistine mis-
pronunciation of quatre arts, the four
arts. Its ideal is a great spectacular
show, all in movement, all artistic in
a high sense, and for the eyes only
of those who take part in it. This is
the thesis of the Quat' z-Arts balls de-
tenders, and there are great names
among them.

times In the conclave pass nude-tor-
soed Roman gladiators, slaves loaded
down with chains; enormous blood

chieftains leading fair-haired dropping

waists girded with strung tiger claws,
imperious Cleopatras cleaning in
Transparent drapdies; soft-smilins
Aspasias, all rosy in white blossoms.

In particular the Bal de lInternat OF

ONE POINT HE HAD OVERLOOKED


Capitalist Points Out the Defect In
Inventors Scheme.
A great many curious inventions are
recorded at the patent office, and a
great many others that the public
never hears of are "sidetracked" on
the way there. A brisk eager indi-
vidual called on a capitalist for the
purpose of interesting him in device
for discouraging burglars.
Il want to get the idea patented"
he said, and | haven't the money. I'm
willing to go halves with any man that
will give me the financial backing. My
scheme is this: You first make all
your doors and windows secure, so
they can't be opened at all from the
outside-malIe all of them tight and
fast, except one-there are plenty of
devices for doing that nowadays
make all of them tight and fact, except
one. Leave that one so it will open
easily. Then run a wire from that
window to the head of your bed,
where you have an alarm bell. The
burglar comes along, tries the doors
and windows, and when he comes to
that one he raises it. The alarm goes
off and the burglar hears it and fees,
or it wakes you up, and you are ready
for him. In either case it accom-
plishes your purpose"
But" said the capitalist, eff you can
make all the doors and windows fast
except one, why not make that one Sc
cure, too, and thus keep the burglar
out entirely?"
Il never thought of that!" replied
the inventor, rubbing his jaw.
