Capital punishment came near to be-
ing abolished the other day in France
on account of the expense, and the cost
of the institution does seem rather
high. The chief executioner draws a
salary of $1,000 a year. He has two
first-class assistants, each drawing
$500 a year. and three second-class as
sistants, each drawing $500 a year. In
addition to this the executioner draws
$3.50 and each assistant draws $1.60 a
day for expenses when operating in the
provinces, while the stabling of the
%guillotine costs $500 a year, and an
Algerian eXecutioner is paid at the
same figure as his Partisan colleague.

Under these circumstances, therefore, the

and the messengers were sent to the schooner

Ihey had gone in search of mar
mosets, and yet, on the very day they left the
schooner, a party of natives had arrived,
bringing with them seventeen of the diminu-
tive little monkeys. which Mr.. Staples had
purchased for less than one-tenth Of what the
ransom had cost.
He had also bought of the same Indians
seven spider monkeys, three OF the parauaeu
species-httle animals covered with long gray
hair-two Owlfaeed night-apes. about twelve
inches long, and clothed with soft gray and
brown fur, and four barrigudo monkeys.
The entire stock had not cost as much
the ransom had, and on the day after the
prisoners were set free, the schooner was fair
ly besieged with natives offering specimens Tor
sale.
At very triaing prices, Doctor Burroughs
bought in the way of birds, fourteen barbets,
three Cuvier's tOucans, seventeen wOodPeck-
ers Of different kinds and FIVE little gray uira
paras, which so filed up the cages that it was
almost impossible to find room for another
specimen.
The loss OF the yacht prevented the ex-
ploratiOn OF the smaller waterways, and as
the rainy season, when those who were not
accllmated would be IN very great danger OF
catching the fever, was rapidly approaching,
Doctor Burroughs thought that the trip should
be brought to an end.
In the cages on board OF the North Star,
and in good condition were two hundred and
thirty-six specimens not including what had
been added to Doctor Burroughs private col
lection, and all hands, even including old
George, thought that the trip had been a re-
markably successful one.
There were quite as many animals and birds
on board as the crew of the North Star could
care for, and more than could easily be pro-
vided with food; therefore. when the sehOon-
er's anchor was hove apeak, it was with the
understanding that it would not be dropped
again until the port Of Para was reached, save
to allow Mr.. Swazey to put his goods on
board, and, after the service be had rendered,
this courtesy was due to the rubber collector.

ROME, March 1s.-The Vatican

the late Pope to supply the. needs of
the 5000 or more persons who form
the population of the papal residence,
has been closed by order of Plus x.
1t was about twenty-five years ago
that the late Pope asked the brothers
of st. John of God, whose especial
line is hospital work, to open a drug
store for the use of Vatican residents
and rooms were assigned for the pur-
pose, opening upon the court of San
Damaso. In a short time, however, as
packages addressed to the Vatican are
exempt from customs inspection and
tax, the new drug store was in a posi-
ton to undersell all similar stores in
Rome and in consequence it got many
patrons who had previously bought of
the city drug stores. The brothers in
charge took advantage of this increase
In trade to extend their operations.
Recently Plus x learned that liquors
were sold within the Vatican walls
and he ordered it stopped. Brother
Diodato, who had been in charge of
the drug store since it's foundation.
was told of the Pope's wishes, and. as
he resisted, he was transferred to an
other convent and the Vatican phar-
macy was closed forever.
