TORTURED TO DEATH.
The Horrible Fate of a Number Of

The Horrible Fate of a Number Of
Resioides.
The lot of the regicide when caught
is not usually a very enviable one. To
be hanged is the least he can expect.
Perpetual solitary Imprisonment is
far more dreadful fate. 1t drove Bres-
ci, the assassin of King Humbert of
Italy, to suicide, and it transformed
Lucchini, who murdered the empress of
Austria, into a hopeless imbecile.
Among the plotters implicated in the
murder Of the late shah of Persia one
was tortured to death in prison, while
another was incased in wet plaster OF
paris, which on setting slowly crushed
the life out of him. Three of the as
sassins of previous shah were boiled
alive in huge copper caldrons

of France, was first barbarously tor
tured and then torn to pieces by wild
horses. This punishment was carried
out in one of the principal squares of
Paris March %, 1857. Ravaillac, who
assassinated Henry ". of France, suf-
fered a similar fate.
The murderer of Selim Ill. of Turkey
was publicly impaled, lingering five

The Anuler Fish,

A singular superstition about the
angler fish Is entertained in some parts
Of Sweden Bohuslan), according to
Malm and Smitt. at is so feared by
many that the tackle is cut as soon as
the monster reaches the surface, and
its captor hurrles home in order to get
there, If possible, before the misfor-
tune portended by the monster over
takes him." The extreme of misfor-
tune-death-is believed by Some to be
indicated. Nilsson tells that the Swed-
ish fishermen on the banks believe
that on board the vessel on which an
angler is taken some one is doomed to
die soon. They therefore never or
hardly ever take the angler on board,
but prefer to cut the line and thus lose
the hook with the fish,"
An anemometrical faculty is attrib-
uted to the angler in Massachusetts.
According to Storer, "among the fisher
men in some parts Of the bay there
is common saying, When you take
goosefish, look out for an easterly
Storm"

An Ancient Suez Canal.

1t is certain that in ancient times a
canal connecting the Mediterranean
and Red seas did exist. Herodotus as
cribes its projection to Pharaoh Necho.
600 B. @. The honor of its completion
is given by some to Darius, by others
to the Ptolemies. How long this canal
continued to be used we do not know,
but, becoming finally choked up by
sand, 1t was restored by Trajan early
in the second century A. D. Becoming
again useless from the same cause, it
was reopened by the Caliph Omar, but
was finally closed by the "unconquer-
able sands about A. D. 767, in which
state it has since remained. This an
cient canal, from Suez to Bubastis, on
the east branch 'of the Nile, was 92
miles long, from 10S to 160 feet wide
and Is feet deep.

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.
What Great Britain Owes to Holland
and Peppcr,

1t is curious to remember that when
England's commercial greatness was
a-making her most serious rival was
Holland. But the enterprising Dutch
men ruined their chances by their
greediness. There was a popular little
couplet which ran:
In matters of commerce the fault of the
Dutch
Is giving too little and asking too much.
The whole course of English pre-,
dominance abroad might have been
changed If the Dutch had not asked
too much"
In the closing years of the sixteenth
century they had a trade monopoly
with the East Indies, and they put
up" the price of pepper to such point
that the English consumer Struck"
A meeting of London merchants
made one December afternoon a deci-
sion the Importance of which to Eng.
land cannot be exaggerated. 1t was
nothing less than the resolution to
form London East India company.
The petition of these merchants to
good Queen Bess was granted in a
royal charter of incorporation.
The company, founded at first to es-
tablish direct trade communication
with the east and lower the price of
pepper, soon took to itself larger pur-
poses. Fleets of merchant ships came
and went between England and India,
and from the quarrel about pepper the
corporation of merchants was des-
tined, through Give and its "nabobs,"
to give England vast empire.-Pear

A Human Foot Warmer,

1t is interesting to learn that julius
Caesar found our Celtic ancestors just
suffocating themselves with smoke.
Giraldus, the early Welsh historian,
describes family as sitting round
their smoky central fire by day and
lying round it by night. But they
could have had little comfort from it,
for the same historian tells us that one
of their princes eked out his fire with
human foot warmer. This officers
duty was to keep his masters feet
warm by cherishing them in his bosom
during meals. For this purpose he

The Intimacy Between Them and Man
In Yellowstone Park.
One of the most pleasant features of

We perceived a doe and a fawn graz

They simply moved aside Here at
least mankind was regarded as
friend-one who could be trusted. The
only animal who ran away was
brown bear. He turned tail at the sight
of n coaching party. Yet it was quite
common thing for bears TO approach
close to the hotels at evening to feed
on the refuse thrown out. 1t was an

Because it was too expensive to
carry the murderer several scores of

of the murderer, whose coffin had been
sold, sat in justice upon the culprit and
condemned him to death. He asked
that he be buried alive instead of re-

with the other elders TO get them to

A grave was dug, ana the victim,
with his arms and feet securely bound,

upon the murderer's own request, his
bonds were loosed, and he walked to

was ready.
