A Terrible Punishment,

A man suspected of treason in Mo-
rocco was punished by having the
flesh of his hand sliced, the wound
filled with salt and the whole hand
sewed up in leather. 1t is common
belief that this punishment causes
modification to set in and that the
hand decomposes, but such is not tho
case, for by the time the leather wears
Off the hand is healed, the result being
that the hand is rendered useless and
remains closed forever 1t is a punish
ment not often in use, but is some
times done in cases of murder or con-
slant theft, as, without in any way in
juring the health Of the man, it pre-
vents his committing the crime sec
ond time or for, the hundredth time,
as the case may be. 1t is punish.

the sultan's orders.-Blackwoods Mag

A SEAT OF MANY ILLS.
Eye Strain 10 Responsible For Num-
ber of Ailments.

Dor OF Ailments.
When the specialist to whom they
had taken their sixteen-year-old daugh-
ter on account Of what seemed to be a
case Of inciplent melancholia diagnosed
the case as one Of eye strain and or
dered prompt treatment from an ocu-
list, the parents Of young New York
girl were astonished. Eye strain seem
ed as remote from melancholia as
would corns on the feet. Their aston
ishment was proportlonately increased
when after a few treatments and ac-
quiring glasses the child showed no
ticeable improvement.
Latter day medical science traces to
eye strain many Ills which seem SO re-
mote from the eyes that formerly ply
sicians never thought Of establishing a
connection between them. Sick head
ache, nervousness, melancholia, insom-
MIA, are but few which have Of late
been laid to the door of weak eyes, the
proper treatment having been neg
lected.
Nervous diseases Of the nuture Of st
Vitus' dance are now thought to origi'
nate frequently in eye trouble. The
weak eyes blink necessarily, and this
leads to a general contortion Of the
facial muscles, which grows on the
subject through constant repetition

Women as Walkers.

Even the athletic girls and women
Of today can hardly make any ad-
vance upon the record of Mary Lamb,
who wrote to Miss Wordsworth Doth
women being between fifty and sixty
years old: "You say you can walk
fifteen miles with ease That Is ex-
actly my stint" She then speaks pity
ingly of delicate woman who could
accomplish only four or Ave miles ev-
cry third or fourth day, keeping very

WHERE HE LOS OUT.
Question That Killed the Romance Of

There is a certain maiden near
other evening that threatened to be
thrilling and was only flat. Boarding
at the same cottage where she Is with
her family there is a very nice young
gentleman-in fact, a very estimable
young mainland this young man has
been paying her a great deal of atten-
ton.

take a drive. and she accepted. The
moon has been particularly lovely re-
Gently, and on this evening it was ex-
quisite-everything seemed most ro-
mantle. The route taken was beauti-
full, passing through woodland glens,"
as the girl afterward described them,
where the ~moonbeams filtered through
the branches of the trees, and one
could just imagine Cupid was linger-
ing around every turn.
The silence had been fraught with
meaning for sometime.
Then the young man spoke.
What would you do If l should kiss
you?" he inquired.
why, Mr.. Smith, l hope you would
not do such a thing" was the proper,
and, as the girl afterward remarked,
the only thing she could say. Then
they drove onward.
Il don't think much of a man who
deliberately asks you If he can kiss
you. anyway" pouted the girl after she

could see the humor of the affair.

Satisfactory Fire.

During the discussion of the Mad

Legare told the following story of a
cook he had once brought from home
with him, says the Pittsburg Press.
She was a splendid servant, but she
didn't know anything about gas to
cook with, SO he wen to the kitchen
with her to explain about the range.
SO that she could e how it operated,
he lit each Of the many burners.
While still explaining, a message
called him from the kitchen, and he
left her, saying: 81 guess you will
find that 1t will work all right now,
Martha" He didn't see the cook again
for four or FIVE days, then upon enter
ing the kitchen he said: We'll, Mar
tina, how's that range doing?"

WOMAN OUTLINED
MORTALITY TABLE
Has Drawn $4,000 on
Investment of $1,000.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-(SpeciaD-
Mrs Betsy Gage, of Brooklyn, who
celebrated her Tooth birthday last
week, received from the Equitable
life Assurance Society on the ami
versary day present of $121S0 and
bouquet of roses in honor of her
distinction as the most successful
investor in life insurance on record.
Mrs. Gage has set at naught all the
calculations of learned actuaries by
OUTLYING the expectation of mortal
life and has made useless to her own
case any application of the American
experience tables, which calculate
that the age of 95 is the present limit
of human existence.
Mrs. Gage began her experiment in
life insurance in'1SS0, when she was
Y years of age. She purchased for
$4,000 an annuity of $275, payable as
long as she lived. The expectancy
tables at that time gave her eight
years time on earth.
Six years later she invested $1,000
in another life annuity of $21160 At
that time the mortality tables gave
her little more than five years of
life.
But Mrs Gage outlived the calcu-
lations, with the result that she has
drawn more than $4,000 on an in
vestment of $4,000 The insurance
company officers were so interested
in her achievement that they sent
her a quarterly instalment on her
birthday. Paul Morton, president of
the society, sent a letter, in which
he said:
Il take pleasure in extending to
you our respectful and cordial salu-
tations on your Tooth birthday. I
hope that for many a day you will
continue to enjoy health strength
and comfort.
you occupy a unique position, for
you are the only member of the Equi-
table Life Assurance Society who
has lived full century. We have
had pleasant business relations with
you for 27 IL years, and there are
many in this office who hold you
in respectful esteem"

EARLY SHOPPERS GET
PICK OF XMAS GOODS
Don't Put Off Buying Until
Very Last.

This year Americas merchants de-
sire to encourage the buying of
Christmas goods early. In fact, their
reasons are so good that they will
doubtless appeal to large number
of buyers, especially for their more
important purchases. The candy and
fireworks can be laid in almost on
the eve of the festivities.
There are many advantages to
the early shopper" said a prominent
merchat yesterday. They get the
pick of the goods, and moreover have
time to select with deliberation and
with less of the feeling of rush which
is inevitable later.
so many people wait until the
last week or two to do all their
buying The natural result is that
the stores are crowded and at the
best the clerks cannot get around as
fast as is desirable no matter how
large is the force There is no good
reason in most instances for defer
ring these purchases, except the nat
ural procrastination in making up
ones mind as to what shall be
bought.
Then it is the part of unselfish-
ness to come early. The clerks and
all employees are enabled to get
through the holiday trade with less
strain. They can also give more
undivided attention to their customers
and give their best advice in the
selection of presents.
THE merchants will be highly pleas
ed to see the Christmas trade start
early in December, though the vol
ume will not be more than if crowd
ed into the last two weeks, or worse
still, the last few days 1t is to the
interest of the shopper as we'll as of
the merchant that purchases be made
as early as possible
All over the country a systematic
effort is being made to get Christ
mas buying started early, especially
in the larger cities. Department
stores have been asked to insert in
their advertisements the following:
Buy your presents early-early in
the day and early in December. That
will be your biggest gift of the holt
days to the workers behind the
counters and on the delivery wag-
ons."
