Fearful Fate of RavaiIlac.

In these days when executions, if
held at all, are mostly carried out in
private, it is difficult for us to under
stand the feelings Of savagery with
which an old time mob witnessed a
popular execution. Here is Bloundelle
Burton's account-from "The Fate of
Henry of Navarre"-of the scene when
Ravaillac, the assassin of the king.
had, after shocking sortures, been torn
asunder by wild horses: The eXecu-
toner had begun to dismember him
and was about to cast his remains into
the second caldron when the vast
crowd prevented him from doing so.
They each required a portion of the
body of the kings assassin. and most
of them obtained one That night
many bonfires blaZed in and around
Paris, and in their midst We're con
sumed pieces of Ravaillac's frame; on
barn doors in other places were nailed
similar scraps of his body, as hawks
and owls and carrion crows were nail
ed as warning to others of their
breed"

Grant and Pickett.

New evidence that the great men

While Grant was president General
G.. f. Pickett, who led the fatal charge
against the Union forces the last day
at Gettysburg, called at the White
House to pay his respects. Grant knew
that his old comrade at West Point
had been made poor man by the
war and offered him the marshalship
of Virginia. While sorely needing help,
General Pickett knew the heavy draft

The Road to Success.

Just tack this up somewhere where
you can see it:
Success consists in getting out of
yourself everything that's in you. 1t
does not consist in doing almost quite
as much or little more than the 9th
er fellow What the other fellow does
doesn't amount to Il dent in Il door
knob so far as you are concerned.
The fact that he succeeds by laying
an Atlantic cable. building an Eiffel
tower, inventing wireless telography or
cornering the worlds supply of oil
doesn't make you a failure because you
haven't got enough ready money to
buy an automobile. You're successful
when you put to some useful purpose
every ounce of energy, every grain of
gray matter. every mite of muscle that
you've got You're successful when
you've developed all there is to You
and have given that to the world

Filial piety finds no place in Tibetan
character. 1t is no uncommon thing
for son to turn his father, when too
old for work. out of doors and to leave
him to perish in the cold. The supersti-
tion that the souls of the dead can,
if they will. haunt the living drives
their hardened natures to gain by the
exercise of cruelty the promise of the
dying that they will not return to
earth. AS death approaches the dying
person Is asked, "Will you come back
or will you not?" If he replies that
he will they pull a leather bag over
his head and smother him. If he says
he will not he is allowed to die in
peace.
