knew who they were, or where they
came from, but they showed a big
credit in their handbook and put up
such smooth line of conversation
that every one was more than willing
to extend them credit. They purchased
so literally of my company that the
boss told me to pay them a visit and
incidentally ask for a settlement.

The persistent vitality of seeds has
often been noted, and, while there is
some doubt as to the reliability of re-
ports of wheat taken from Egyptian
graves of ancient date terminating
when planted, many notable. if less
wonderful, examples of natures pre-
servatiOn of the life of seeds come to
life from time to time. One of the
most noteworthy of these refers to
seeds taken from Fort Conger, about
400 miles from the pole by the Peary
party in 1899, having been exposed in
this northern climate for a period of
sixteen years, their presence there be-
ing the result of the Greedy expedition
of 1888. Packages of lettuce and rad
ish seeds were brought to the United
States, and, after further period of
six years, were planted and. while the
lettuce seed had lost its vitality, fully
one-half of the radish seeds terminated
and grew to maturity and perfection.

DANGER IN HANGING.


Foreign Commissioner Suggests Use
of Garrote Criminals.
Zone would think that judicial exc
cutions should be in keeping with the
dignity of the law. There is nothing
dignitied in keeping Il man dangling
and struggling for many minutes at
the end of a rope. until he is choked TO
death. Justice is impartial. She can
not impose sentence in a spirit of
vengeance, and it is not saying too
much TO add that those entrusted with
the carrying out of her sentences can
not be too careful in seeing that moth
ing is done that suggests barbarism.
The law of an enlightened people is
really the heat or spirit of their civili-
zation."
This statement was made by Count
Julian de OWES, Chilean commissioner
of commerce to this country during Il
discussion in Pittsburg, Pa, of the
spectacle at the county Jail. when two
negroes We're slowly choked to death
before a large crowd of sghtseerS.
Count de OWES declined to discuss the
Allegheny County execution in Spe-
cific sense, but merely as an illustra
ton of custom that prevails in near
ly every country.
He thinks crime is due to certain
types of insanity, created by the Sug-
gestion of crimes done by others. To
illustrate this point he referred TO the
employment of psyche by
physicians in handling certain cases
this being the application of mental in
fiuence in the treatment of disease.
Morphine fiends. he said, have been
put to sleep at times with a mere
sugar-coated pill they We're informed
contained morphine to a high degree.
Hanging criminals he said, has
not had the lettering effect on others
that had been expected 1t seems,
more than anything else. to accentu-
ate crime-to keep it alive in the
thought of the people-to be a contin-
ual suggestion. Life Imprisonment at
hard labor would do much to correct
the sickening sentimentality that sur
rounds certain criminals"
But if capital punishment must con-
tinue, Count de OWES thinks the Span
ish garrote method is the most human
of all. BY it the executions are effec-
tive almost instantly. and there is no
struggling, because the physical force
is eXtinguished at the same time the
mental faculties are stopped.

A Cnxr EIiRS n INiie.

A COW flying kite was the unusual
spectacle witnessed recently in a town
in New York State. a correspondent
of the Boston Transcript describes the
incident:
A boy had been flying the kite in 4
pasture, and had laid it on the turf
where the COW was grazing. The ami
NAL, in browsing about, swallowed the
ball of Irvine, which was lying about
thirty feet from the kite.
AS the cow moved off, the kite moved
too, and the COW, eying it curiously,
started again. The kite followed. The
COW Quickened her gait and broke into
lope. The kite gracefully rose in the
air and remained suspended until the
thoroughly frightened animal was
caught. after breaking through Il fence
and racing down the street to her own
er's home.
