Fortune For Eorcers.

The last person to suffer death for
forgery in London was Thomas May
nard, who was executed on Dec. 81.
1920. 1t was not. however, until 1882
that the death penalty for the crime
was replaced by transportation, though
even then an exception was made in
the case Of forging or altering a
will. This exception was not removed
from the statute book until 1887. In
the days of good Queen Bess a forger
of deeds was very severely dealt with.
He had to stand in the pillory; his ears
were cut OFF. his nose slit. and he was
branded with hot irons. If he survived
these ordeals he was doomed to i'm
prisonment for the rest of his days,
and everything he possessed in the
world was forfeited to the crown.
Surely death would have been far
more merciful.

A Tiny Death Dealer.

A most agoniZing death is caused by
an insect half the size of pea-a
small black spider. 1t lives in Peru,
III South America. but few speci-
mems have reached Europe in ship
loads of timber. Not long ago dock
laborer was unlucky enough to come
upon one in the Victoria docks while
unloading a bark The tiny death deal
err dropped upon the back of his hand
and dug its fangs into his flesh. The
bite itself was nothing, but as soon as
the poison began to work the man
tainted with pain. Soon afterward he
came to and lived three days before
the end came. This spiders venom
scorches up the blood vessels and
spreads through all the tissues, caus-
ing the most fearful agony human
being can have to bear The worst of
1t is that the victim lives at least two
days, enduring unthinkable anguish
the whole time. This spider is luckily
not common. 1t Is known as the
'specky," and when a man who knows
what the bite means is bitten he gen.
orally blows out his brains.-Lcndon

Extreme Obedience.

The Youngs had unexpectedly drop

considerably disturbed, called her little
daughter Helen aside and explained
that there would not be enough oysters
to go around and added. Now. you
and | will just have some of the broth,
and please do not make any fuss about
it at the table"
Little Helen promised to remember
and say nothing. But when the Oys-
tiers were served Helen discovered a
small oyster in her plate which had ac-
cidentally been ladled up with the
broth. This puzzled the little girl, as
she could not recall any instructions
covering this contingency. After
studying few moments she dipped
the oyster up with her spoon and. hold
ing it up as high as she could. piped
out. Mamma, mamma, shouldn't Mrs.
Young have this oyster too?'-Chris-
