TORTURED TO DEATH.
The Horrible Fate of a Number c
Reeicides.

"SSiS'aSos
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 a
far more dreadful fate. 1t drove Bres-
CT, the assassin of King Humbert of
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 a previous shah were boiled
alive in huge copper caldrons.
So late as the year 1881 the two
Mavromichaelis, who slew Count Capc
d'Istra, the first president of Greece.
were immured within close brick walls
built around them up to their chins
and supplied with sailed food, but no
drink, until they died. Damiens, who
attempted the life Of King Louis XIV.
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 Nv. Of France, suf-
fered similar fate.
The murderer of Selim III. of Turkey
was publicly impaled, lingering five
and half days in dreadful torment.
Those who did to death his immediate
successor, Mustapha w., were tortured
and starved on alternate days and de-
prived of sleep by night until death
came to their relief.-Chicago News.

Ear Waddind-

Only animals with long and dropping
ears are able to wag them. A rabbit,
for instance, can do what it likes with
Its ear, dropping one or both and lay
ing them fat along its back when
dashing through thick cover. Hares
are still more brisk In ear movements
But short cared beasts, like weasels
and stoats, are unable to wag their
ears in any degree, although they have
enough ear to wag If they had the
power.
