.Home, sweet Home.

Probably no one would have beex
more surprised than Sir Henry Bishop
himself could be have foreseen that a
single melody In one of his numerous
operas would achieve such celebrity
that at the present day it Is still sung
by leading prima donnas at fashionable
concerts, tangled on street organs and
loved by vast public that knows moth
ing Of music, properly SO called, as the
purest representation of, the English
spirit-"Home, Sweet Home" "Clarl,
the Maid of Alilans' the opera in which
this favorite song occurred, has long
been consigned to the limbo OF forgot
ten musical works. but 'Home. Sweet
Home" survives with undiminished
popularity and is likely to survive
when many more pretentious compost
tons have followed 'The. Maid of
Milan" into oblivion.-Cornell Mag.

Death by Boilins.

In old England, before the law was
passed which prohibited "cruel and I'M
usual forms Of punishment" murder
ers were often condemned to death by
boiling. In such cases the victims
were chained In large kettles Of cold
water, which was gradually heated
until it caused the flesh to drop from
the bones. The last English victim Of
the "boiling death" was one Rouse, .
cook. who. 1t was alleged, had killed
seventeen persons.
