The Real Franklin.

There were not wanting sinister in.
fuences, subtly and persistently inhib-
iting the development Of that large, ex-
plicit and national recognition OF
Franklin's services which very little
thing might have called into full being
and activity even during his lifetime.
Had that consummatiOn been realized
even for day, though it had been but
the day after his death, the character
of his fame would have been fixed diff
ferently, one cannot doubt. for the rest
of time. For there would then have
come fully and simultaneously into the
national consciousness conception OF
Franklin which-instead Of the legend
of the Philadelphia printer, almanack
maker and humorist or instead Of the
legend Of the moral philosopher who
taught men how to thrive in business
and inculcated the practice Of honesty
as one of the best tricks Of every trade
should have given us the legend OF
that historical Franklin, the most ia
nous patriot, the wisest statesman, the
most successful diplomatist Of his age,
a man with whose name all Europe
whatever America may have been do
ing or thinking Of then and since-once
rang from side to side and whose pres
ence in the world filed the mind Of bis
generation with the ideas of enlighten-
ment, magnanimity and freedom.-Wl'

Once upon a time, when there was no
such thing as sugar-lOvers Of lollipops,
only think of lt-bees were Of much
greater value than they are now, for

Some Of the laws Of old Ireland SO

the subject of bees, which shows how
important as well as industrious were
these busy insects. Every owner OF
bees was required to distribute some OF
his honey among his neighbOrs every
third year. Why? Because his bees
had gathered their honey from the
opening flowers on his neighbour
lands. There was nice sense OF JUS

campaign with the two kinds Of small
hawks which are now trained for the
field. OF these the sparrow hawk Is
the larger and the more difficult to re-
claim and keep in condition. Both
sexes are usually employed at black
birds, although no bird of about the
same size seems to come much amiss
to them, and they can be flown at sew.
eral sorts of quarry in the same day,
whereas the long winged hawks, and
especially eyess peregrines, should be
kept exclusively-at least In any one
season of the year-at one flight. The
female sparrow hawk Is usually very
much bigger than her brothers, and &C.
casionally one will be found so strong
and courageous as to be able to take
few cartridges in the early part Of the
game season.
The mode Of flying Is very similar to
that of the goshawk, and each Of these
short winged" hawks is more proper
" trained to come back to the fist aft
er unsuccessful flights instead Of being
brought back to the lure" like the
high flying falcons. In the pursuit OF
blackbirds, as in that of. the magpie,
the beaters have great deal to do
with the success Of the operations In
finding and dislodging the cunning quar-
~ when he has got to shelter In
hedge or bush. Blackbirds can also be
taken by merlins Of both sexes, and
the flight presents no great differences
from that In which the larger hawk Is
employed.
Many other small birds can be taken
by merllns, although many are too fast
Of fight and too tricky to be overtaken
by any hawk that flies. The wheatear,
which may sometimes be found on the
downs in tolerably open spot, Is nota-
BILE for his thickness, and 1t will take a
very good merlin or even cast OF
them to touch him. But the best quar-
~ for merlins are those birds which
take the air and 60 up in spiral rings
with a view to keeping all the time

be in the pink Of condition. Often they
have to fly miles, ringing upward all
the time, before they can even get
above their quarry, and then they must
begin long series Of stoops, each
made with the utmost energy and skill,
before either of them aims a stroke
which finishes the well matched con-
test or until the fugitive has saved
himself in some one Of the many ref
uges which are big and thick enough to
shield him from further pursuit.
There are, Of course, other counties
besides Wiltshire where hawks are
flown, and there are many other quar-
ries besides those mentioned. There
are, for instance, the fight ut grouse
! and the very fine and difficult flights nj
gulls. But the very existence of fal'
conry in England is menaced with
speedy extinction by the mania for de-
stroying all Of the rarer birds. And
| those who wish 10 see it in actual prac
tice must make haste or they will be
too late.

THE COMMON SNAIL.
An Air breathing Creature That
Lives Without Air.

An Air breathing Creature That
Lives Without Air.
The common snail has lungs, heart
and general circulation and Is IN e'-
cry respect an air breathing creature
This Notwithstanding, he can live Oh
indefinitely without inhaling the least
atom of air-that which is usually con.
sidcred the essential to existence Ill HI
creatures supplied with lungs. Leppert
says, ITO all organized creatures tne
removal of oxygen, water. nourisnmen'
and heat causes death to ensue.' Wheh
that statement was made he does not
appear to consider the snail as one
among the great host OF organized
beings" for experiments prove that
any or all the usual life conditions can
be removed in Its case without termi-
mating its functions.
It Is q fact well known that the COM
mon land snail retreats into his smell
on the approach Of frosty weather III
the fall and that the opening or mouth
Of the shell is Theoretically sealed by
secretion which is Of silky texture
and absolutely impervious to both air
and water. In this condition 1t Is plain
that he is deprived of three out OF the
four elements Of life mentioned by
Leppert-viz., air, water and nourish-
ment.
Taken after he has been thus handl-
capped for months, he may be plunged
into q chemical mixture 100 degrees
colder than the degree marked at Fan
renheit's zero and allowed to remain In
that chilly solution for weeks. Yet as
soon as restored to normal temperature
life is renewed, and the snail soon re-
gains his natural powers, clips the
silken curtain from his house door and
begins to feed as naturally as though
Just awakening from winters sleep.
Spallanzani kept snail Of the great
helix family Theoretically sealed In a
glass tube from which all air had been
carefully removed for period OF four
years and two months, yet he declared
that the creature regained all its nor
mai functions within less than an hour
after being exposed to a temperature
of 90 degrees.

SOUTHEY'S GUlLLOTiNE.
1t Did Not Serve the Purpose For
which II Was Made.

1t Did Not Serve the Purpose For
Which 1t Was Made.
Lord Southey once in fit Of disgust
with life had magnificent guillotine
erected in the drawing room Of his
magnificently appointed house In the
Rue de Luxembourg, at Paris. The
machine was an elaborate affair, with
ebony uprights inlaid with gold and
silver. The framework was carved
with great artistic skill, and the knife,
of immense weight and falling at the
touch Of a spring, was Of ornamental
steel, polished and as sharp as razor.
The spring which liberated the knife
was placed within easy reach OF any
one kneeling upon the scaffold. In fact,
every detail was arranged with a view
to the convenience of the would be
suicide. The day that the engine OF
death was entirely finished Lord
Southey completed his testamentary
dispositions, shaved, had his hair cut
and, clothed in robe of white silk,
knelt upon the platform under the
knife.
The guillOtine was placed before a
large mirror, wherein the person com.
hitting suicide could see his own i'm
age until the last. Murmuring short
prayer, Lord Southey placed his head
in the semicircle and pressed the spring.
The next morning he was found
c;Htnly sleeping in his bed. The spring
hd. failed to work, and after several
fruitless efforts Lord SOuthey was CON-
PEELED to relinquish his attempt upon
his life. Thoroughly cured Of his spleen,
he presented the guillotine to the Glas-
Cow museum, whence he made an an
nual pilgrimage to see it until the end
Of his life.

VARYING Weight of the Body.

. A physician points out that several
fallacies are common with regard to
the weight of the human body. The
man who congratulates himself on bis
gain of several pounds in weight in
given period may have no cause for
rejoicing. for he may be under a deln-
sion. Very few persons, says the In
vestigator, have any correct idea OF
their own weight. AS a matter OF
fact, the weight of the body is continu-
ally changing owing to innumerable
influences. On a warm day, after
breakfast, man will lose more than a
third of pound per hour. Seventy per
cent Of the body contains water, and
it's weight varies constantly. The In
ference to be drawn from the. loss or
gain of a pound or two may be mis-
trusted Fluctuations of few ounces
are sign that the body is in healthy
state

Rurfed Alive.

In the early history Of Japan 1t was
decidedly a dubious honor to be closely
related to any person Of note, for one
of the laws ut that time decreed that
when a person Of rank or Importance
died all the immediate relatives must
be buried alive in perpendicular pO-
sition around the personage's grave.
Their heads were left above the earth,
and thus they remained until welcome
death came to free them.

far in front of him, and the hawk,
knowing by long practice what Is ex-
pected of him, mounts steadily, often
to very great height, and then circles
about, waiting until the men below
have flushed the game, when he comes
down with almost incredible speed In a
long stoop, which often, indeed, misses
its mark, but, if the hawk Is a good
one. often succeeds. All peregrines can
be used for partridge hawking, whether
they are Of one sex or the other ana
whether they have been taken as ey-
esses from the aerie or have been cap
tured in the adult state in Holland and
already used in the spring for rocks or
magpies.
Partridges may also be taken with
gosbaw when these are exception
ally quick on the wing, but in their
case the flight is more or less OF stern
chase, with none of those lighrningiiKe
descents from out Of the sky which
are considered the chief merit Of the
fight with the nObler falcons. The
quarry for which the female goshawk
Is most suitable and most often used is
ground game, either rabbits or hares.
This kind Of hawk, like the sparrow
hawk, can be flown great many times
In succession on the same day, and
quite a big bag of rabbits has been
made with even one gOshawk when In

Testimony Comes From a Publisher
Whose Firm Was Used as the Agcn-

suit I'm Indictments Against Former
Mutual Magnates.

New York. June 5.-The grand jury
inquiry into Mutual Life Insurance
companys affairs obtained evidence
yesterday that many thousands of dol
lars were taken annually for 20 years
from the treasury of the company 5y
means OF fake bills purporting to be
for printing and supplies for the COM
pany furnished through the firm Of
George McKibben & Son, bookbinders
ot No. 35 Park street. Part of the
evidence was furnished by George Nc
Eihben, head of the firm, who was a
witness in the afternoon.
1t was said about the criminal courts
building yesterday that the unearthing
of such proofs of fraud probably
would result in indictments against
former officials of the Mutual who
had guilty knowledge of the frauds
The entire amount of money taken
from the Mutual's treasury in such
fashion, 1t is believed, amounted to
more than $1,000,000.
An official of the Mutual said yes
terday that since the change of ad-
ministration saving of 100000 a
year to the company in the expense
of the company's office building on
Nassau street had been provided for
by ordinary methods of economy.
A saving of SIS, 5,000'a year in the
cost of coal burned in the buildings
steam plant was obtained merely by
changing the size of the coal.
