Remarkable Criminal Record.

Today remarkable execution has
taken place in this city, the like of
which think has never happened
even In the annals of Chinese execu-
tions.
The man who was executed was
found guilty of highway robbery and
sentenced to be beheaded. He is the
seventh of the family to suffer the ex-
treme penalty in this city.
The parents gave birth to eight boys,
and from whatever causes it is i'm
possible for me to say, the whole fam
lily have just given themselves up
body and soul to evil. The Sor old
mother escorted this, her seventh son
to the execution ground wailing her
dreadful fate the whole way. On ar
rival the magistrate, fearing she might
cause trouble, had her forcibly re-
moved outside the crowd until all was
over, then she ran back to the bleeding
headless body of her poor boy and
again took up her wailing-Sui-fnu

a prominent landmark in North Perry

of the forest was felled to the ground
stated that the number of visible rings
in the tree showed that it was over

BORAX, NATURES DISINFECT.
ANT, CLEANSER AND PURIFIER.

Everybody realizes the necessity of
some method of publication Of sinks,
drains and utensils in which may lurk
the germ of dreaded disease.
Health is question of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the
use of disinfectants in their ordinary
sense-all of which are unpleasantly
associated with disagreeable odors,
on which are depended to kill tho
contagion (Which disinfectants must
of necessity be of a more or less dam
gerous character) and must be used
for this purpose and for no other, and
in consequence kept from children
and careless handling.
There is, however, within the reach
Of all our readers simple, safe and
economical article that will not only
answer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for a multi.
tude of domestic cleansing and puri.
flying urposes-Borax.
borax is pure, Wnlte harmless
powder coming direct from Natures
laboratory; in fact Borax has often
been called Natures Cleanser and
Disinfectant.
Two tablespoonfuls of Borax in a
pailful of hot water poured down the
grease-choked pipes of a sink, or
flushed through disease-laden drain,
cleanses and purifies it, leaving it
clean and sweet.
Bed clothing and clothes used in a
sick room can be made hygienically
clean and snowy-white, if washed in
hot solution of Borax water
Kitchen and eating utensils, used
during illness will be kept from all
possibility of contagion If Borax is
used when washing them. Pure Gs

cause it can be usedsfor almost every
domestic and medical purpose. Borax
must be considered the one great

distribution of property and labor TO
keep property even approximately

divide labor equally would be to try
to give power into human hands which
only the Almighty can exercise.
"The dividing line between the kind
of socialism now being preached and
anarchy is exceedingly thin, and
warn you to steer clear Of all such
dangerous tendencies.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the
least cost depend largely upon the
material chosen. Paint Is simple
compound and the ingredients can be
easily tested. The solid part or pig
ment should be White Lead. The
LIQUID part should be Linseed OIL.
Those best informed on painting al
ways buy these ingredients separate
ly, and have their painter mix them
fresh for each job. Before the mix
ing the test Is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece OF
wood. Blow the fame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. If 1t is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright,
pure metallic lead will appear, and
with patience the White Lead can be
completely reduced to one globule OF
metallic lead. This is because pure
White Lead is made from metallic
lead.
You may test dozens Of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. II
they will not change wholly to lead,
but leave a residue, 1t is clear that
some adulterant is present.
II you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, 1t would
