High treason Sentences.

Only within such a recent date as
184S was the old inhuman sentence
for high treason delivered from the
bench, in England, though an act
passed at the end Of George Ills
reign abolished the partial hanging,
which was one of the most dreadful
items. 1t was not until 1870 that
the drawing, beheading, and quarter
ing were finally abolished, and it
would appear that even now an ex-
ecution for high treason would have
to take place in public, since the act
which abolished public executions
for murder does not refer to any 9TH
ercrime. It's generally believed that
high treason and murder are the
only capital crimes left in our law;
but there is another, though it is sell
dom heard of-arson within the port
of London.

Saws Football Fits studeats for
I.ifo's uat.Ie

Football received high tribute
in the address of Reuben Post Hal
leck, of the Male High School, of
Louisville, before the Wisconsin
Teachers Association on Dec. 80.
He made the startling declaration
that of all the portions of the High
school curricula today, the athlet-
ic field, with football at the head,
is the part which most aided to
fitting the youth of today for the
great competitive battle with the
world.
81 don't want to be quoted" said
Mr.. Halleck, "as saying there are
no evils in football. There are
evils in football, and they should
he remedied, but these evils should
not cause it's abolition. Football
teaches rivalry"

MORE THAN COINCIDENCE.

Phenomena That Frequently Happens,
Suggests Sons Curious Questions.
IL have noticed one rather peculiar
thing about the tunes heard in the
streets of cities" said a man with a
leaning toward speculative science
to New Orleans Times-Democrat
writer, "and that is rather singular
unconsciousnes in the matter of imi-
tating sounds, such as popular airs,
and so forth. l have found myself
doing exactly this very thing, and /
suppose other men have had the same
experience. FOR instance, ! have
suddenly found myself humming or
whistling in very low key some pop
ular cir, or sometimes would sud-
denly thrum the scale of familiar
tune, and before walking two blocks
some otL,r fellow would be whistling
the same thing loud enough to be
heard at least a half block away. Did
he cause me to think of the tune OF
to hum it? Or did my thinking or
humming influence him? So far as
my experience goes, in instances of
this sort ! have not been conscious
of hearing anything that would even
suggest the scale that would bob up
in my mind. There could be moth
ing in the ordinary discordances of
the street, incident to traffic, rum
bling wagons and cars, shifting and
stumbling feet, and things of that
sort, to develop the idea of the par
ticular harmony whichsuddenly came
to my mind. If the man began to
whistle the air before ] began to
think about it, did hear him without
being conscious of the fact? Did
the inaudible waves of the tune strike
the drums Of my ears without any
sort of consciousness Of the sound on
my part? These questions | can
not answer. All l know is that the
thing happened, and it has happened
too often to be put down as a mere
coincidence. My thinking may have
started the man to whistling or his
whistling may have started me to
thinking in some mysterious way If
the man whistled what l thought,
why did he do it? 1t must be some
sort Of mental telegraphy with little
sound waves Of too delicate a nature
to be audible as a means OF communi-
cation. Or are we getting so wise
that we can hear each other think?
Curious thing. isn't it?"
