Rarbarous Punishment.

It was sixty years ago that England
abolished flogging at sea; it has long
been abolished in our army and navy;
and now the Gear Of Russia has abol-
ished the harshest remnants of the
barbarbic punishments of former
times, namely, castigation with cudg
els and cato nine tails, claiming to
the car and shaving the head, which
were still inflicted for certain offenses
on persons exiled to penal settlements
or to the mines. Castigation with the
cato nine tails and even with cudgels
not infreQuently ended In death. and
was one Of the harshest forms Of the
death penalty, being death by torture.
The abolition Of the cudgel and Of the
"cat" does not, however, mean the pro-
hibition of corporal punishment alto
gether. The revised statute OF June Is
prescribes chastisement with birch
rods up to 100 blows. BarbaTtc pun
ishment can be inflicted by birch rods,
If not as severely as by ''cat" or cudg-
el The better way would be to abol-
ish punishment by hagalation alto
gether.-Leslie's Weekly.

STAGE PEOPLE IN SUMMER.

Some of Them Have q Hard Time In
TidinG Over.
In summer what becomes Of the
numbers of stage people who return
to the metropolis penniless at the close
OF the season? How do they live?
These questions were put to the man
a9e1 Of the theatrical agency in
Broadway. 'Indulgent landladies,
friends In the country, and parents
in the city solve the summer problem
for hosts of theatrical people" replied
the agent. AN actor would sooner
starve than be seen by his mates
working at an other trade. About 70
per cent of those who remain here
get trusted for their summers board
and lodging. They pay up, In most
cases, in the course Of the next sea-
son, sending from week to week to
the landlady sufficient to cancel their
summers indebtedness.
"Of course" went ON the agent,
they're not all improvident- See that

The human mind, since it began to
think and believe, has thought Of and
believed in Immortality. Mankind early
divided into races widely separated In
vastly different climes and conditions
but wherever the human mind is that
thought and belief Ia also. Is 1t any
wonder that when primitive man first
learned that by standing upon his hind
Legs and welding stone with his fore
paws he could beat off an enemy, he
should invest the stone with reveren-
tiaI awe? Is it any wonder that when
he found out that by striking two
pieces Of flint together he could start a
fire to save him from the cold Of the
steadily ly-encroaching ice period, he
should worship fire? Is it any wonder
that when he discovered that grains
sown upon the tumuli Of the dead
sprouted and produced again he should
conclude that the grateful ghost be-
meath thus repaid him an hundredfold
the offerings he had made? Is it any
wonder that the dog, the first friend

and organized that department. Among
the measures recommended In his first
report, Dec. 8, tS49, were the estab-
lishment Of mint near the California
gold mines, and the construction Of a
railroad to the Pacific.
When Thomas Corwin became Sec
retary Of the Treasury In 1850, Ewing
was appointed to succeed him in the
Senate. During this term he opposed
the fugitive slave law. Clay's compro-
mise bill. reported a bill for the estab-
lishment Of a branch mint in Califor-
MIA. and advocated reduction In post
age, and the abolition of slavery in the
District Of Columbia He retired from
public life in 1851 and again resumed
his law practice in Lancaster. He was
a delegate to the Peace Congress of
1851.
During the Civil War Ewing gave,
through the press and by correspond
ence and personal interviews, his coun-
sci and influence to the support of the
national authorities. While he de-
voted much Of his time to political
subjects, the law was his favorite
study and pursuit He early won and
maintained throughout his life unques-
tionable supremacy at the Ohio bar,
and ranked in the Supreme Court Of
the United States among the foremost
lawyers of the nation.
In 1929, Just after his fathers death,
General William T. Sherman, then
boy Of 8. was adopted by Mr.. Ewing.
who afterward appointed him to the
United States Academy. and in 1850.
Sherman married Ellen, the daughter
Of his benefactor.

the region of Athens County, Ohio,

left his home and worked in the Kama

studies at night by the aid Of the fur

had earned enough money to clear

the first degree Of A. B. that was ever

as the force bill"
Senator Ewing opposed the removal
of deposits from the United States
Bank, and introduced a bill for the
settlement Of the Ohio boundary ques-
ton, which was passed In 1885. Dur
ing the same session he brought for
ward bill for the reorganization Of
the general land Office, which was

receivers in land Office to accept pay

unlawful for the Secretary to make

not carried. After the expiration Of

In Chicago in May, at time when.
there had been no rain for three weeks,
six glass plates two and one-half
inches square were exposed in as many
streets for one minute. The plates
were then fncubated, SO that each par
ticle Of dust to which a germ was
clinging would soon be surrounded
with colony of germs which could
be seen and counted. The average
per plate was 1850 colonies. On the
day following nearly an inch of rain
