TORTURE MACHINES.
suriou. Instrument. That W.

Curious Instruments That Were
Used In the Middle Ages.
In an old tower in Nuremburg there
Is room set apart especially for the
preservation Of the curious instruments
Of torture used during the uncertain
period historically referred to as the
middle ages.
screws of the most approved pattern
closely arranged along shelves filed
with '1iar helmets" and brides for
gossiping women. One horrid relic,
called the spike Wheel" is a heavy
cylinder, on one side of which stand
out two or more score Of sharp iron
spikes. In days of old when an Of
fender had been sentenced to undergo
a rolling he was stripped naked and
firmly bound on plank, face down.
In this position the spike wheel was
slowly dragged up and down his back,
the number Of times depending upon
the gravity of the crime and the word
ing of the sentence.
In several instances the poor victims
were prodded so full of holes that they
died before they could be removed from
the plank. When death was intended,
the number Of rolls was not speci-
fed, but double length spikes, heated
redhot, were put in the surface of the
cylinder. This mode of carrying out
capital punishment was hardly as ex-
peditious as the guillotine, but it was
equally as certain.

In Norway and Sweden curious mi
grafton takes place, the irregular mi
grafton Of the lemming. There is no
telling where this strange animal will
begin its march southwark through
Norway and Sweden in search Of food.
The interval between one migration
and the next is seldom less than seven
years or, as in one instance, more than
seventeen years.
The lemming is species of rodent
and resembles in some ways our COM
mon water rat Once started, these
strange creatures press on in straight
line. There is no checking their march.
II wall or house is in their way,
they will try to climb it rather than go
around it, and If they come to stack
of corn they will eat it and then go for
ward. The Jennings are good swim
mers, and so they do not mind rivers
and ponds, although they cannot keep
afioat in rough water.
The migration comes to fatal finish.
Taking a direct course toward the
southwest and southeast, the animals
arrive after awhile at the seashore.
Still they must press on, and the lem
ming migration ends for another seven
years.

An Atch,son launching.

Here is story of lynching in the
early days of Atchison: A man named
Sterling was hanged first He was a
vicious fellow and did not finch. In
deed, while the rope was around his
neck he announced that he was the
best man in Kansas. Sandy Corbin,
one of the lynching party, was some
what of a fighter himself and did not
like Sterling's talk. Men, he said to
the lynchers, IF you will postpone pro-
ceedings ten minutes 1 will take the
conceit out of this scoundrel" The
committee thought it would not be
proper to let Sandy whip Sterling be-
fore hanging him, and the lynching
went on, although Sandy grumbled
loud and long because Sterling's bluff
was not called.-Atchison Globe

well at first sight who was who, and
eyed each other as If they knew a

The viper was the first to get tired of
gazing, and it began to glide away.
Just then the hedgehog rushed for the
viper's tail, and, having nailed it fast
with its teeth, it rolled itself up. The
hedgehog was very careful, however,
not to cut the tail Off The viper
curled back and delivered furious as
saults on its aggressor. wrestling and

wounded in a hundred places, died.
The hedgehog began its repast on the

A FAMOUS HIGHWAY.
The Cumberland Road, which Wa
Prnfecfed nv HENRI CIax.

The Cumberland Road, which Was
Projected by Henry Clay.
The most remarkable highway built
In the United States early in the nine
teenth century was the so called Cum
perland road, which was to extend
from Cumberland, Nd, through south
western Pennsylvania, over the Ale
Ing, w. Va, and then ON to st. Louis.
1t was so well constructed that it is q
good road today. Henry Clay was its
protector and chief supporter, and his
services in its behalf are commemorate
ed by monument near Wheeling. We
are told by letters written at that pc
Rod that there were sometimes TWEEN
ty gayly painted four horse coaches
each way daily. The cattle and sheep
were never out of sight, and canvas
covered wagons were drawn by six 10
twelve horses"
On this great road, which eventually
passed into the hands of the states
through which 1t runs, the government
expended no less a sum than 81 ,0O0. 600.
Within mile of 1t on either side the
country was wilderness, but on the
highway itself the traffic was as dense
as in the main street of large town.
Ten miles an hour was the usual speed
for coaches. From Baltimore to Wheel
ing ran lines of freight wagons, which
carried ten tons, drawn by twelve
horses and with wheels ten feet In d.
ameter.-Pearson's Magazine.

John Ru.kan and Newman HAN

While his church was building Mr.
Newman Hall had an amusing bout
with Mr.. John Ruskin. He went and
asked the seer's advice as to how te
erect a church which should not only
be commodious, but beautiful; not only
sheltering from rain and sun, but In
spring happy thoughts and holy emo
lions.
He replied-as he had already writ
ten-''that we should not build ur
stones, but gather together few PEG
pie who would not steal or tell ties"
II said," writes the pastor, that we
had many hundreds of such and needed
a building where under shelter they
might worship and be taught. He re
peated his opinion, and l said l had
made mistake in troubling him, as
thought | was speaking to the author
of Stones of Venice" Whereupon Mr.
Ruskin made the singular reply:
mo, you are not. Every one who
does something in teaching men passes
through three stages of life. At first he
teaches what is inaccurate. then he un.
learns it, and lastly he teaches the
truth-which stage have now reach.

The votive pictures (yema) Of Japa-
nese temples are an outgrowth of an
old custom. In ancient times departed
warriors were honored by offerings of
sake and rice placed before their tab
let's and tombs. AS the idea gained
ground that their spirits lowered
around their graves besides food GER
tain number of spotless white horses
were provided with which these spir-
itual worthless might take recreation.
So 1t became the custom in wealthy
Shinto temples to keep one of these
sacred animals. There were many
shrines that could not afford to buy a
white horse, so the next best thing was
to get picture of one; hence the name
yema picture horse) from ye "a pic
ture) and una "a horse).
The use of the yema was first con-
fined to the Shinto religion. but the
Buddhists took kindly to the custom.
The word yema has long lost its prim-
tive meaning and has become a ge-
neric name for every picture hung up
in Shinto shrines or Buddhistic tenn

MARCO PoLo,s BOOK.


y gave O0lumuUs the l0e8 FOR n1&
Voyage of Discovery.
Medieval Europe knew but very lit
2. Of eastern and northeastern Asia.
Many Of the most learned cosmogra-
piers Of the time taught that Asia
stretched eastward indefinitely, and no
enc imagined that it had an eastern
coast washed by the ocean. 1t was Sc
riously taught that eastern Asia was a
land Of vast swamps, inhabited by mon
ster serpents and dragons. This was
the opinion that still prevailed up to
within 200 years of the time of Co
lumbus.
At this time two Venetian merchants
Of the name Of Polo went on a vast
trading expedition to the uttermost
parts Of Asia They were gone many
years Upon their return the son of
one Of them. young man named Mar
co Polo. wrote out full account of
their travels, described the empire Of
the grand khan Ghe Chinese EMPEROR
and revealed the fact that Asia was
bounded on the east by q vast ocean.
He described this eastern coast minute
y, with all it's vast cities and its wealth
Of precious stones and spices.
It was from reading this book that
the imagination of Columbus was fred,
and he conceived the bold idea Of reach
mig this eastern coast Of Asia by sailing
toward the west around the earth.
So when he discovered Cuba he had
not doubt that he had landed upon
the coast of Asia and that he looked
upon the same scenes that Marco Polo
had gazed upon 200 years before.
