ed for hanging in cases where the penalty prescribed is atl. Tn bill, which is advocated by the Sher- ifs Association, is practically copy of the New York anu Virginia Laws, with a few minor changes. The bill provides t1a all executions shall be i'll the state Fenitentiary, by the Superintendent or other officials au- thor zed by him. When judgment of death shall have been pronounced upon any person, he shall be at onca conveyed by the sheriff of the county to the Denitentiary, and there held in l condemned cell awaiting execution. Such executions shall be witness by not more than ? rsrsons. The par- ticular provision relative to ne mode of death is cop ed from the New York law, as furnished Mr. Kilder by District Attorney Chas. s. Whit man:
 ''The punishment of death must, in every case, be inflicad by causing t3 pass through the body of the convict a current of electric ty of sufficient intensity to cause death, and tie ap- plication of such current must be continued unjii such convict is dead"
 The constiaationality of this pro- wis on has been sustained in New York cases. Ess

The Pumpkin Planter.

A gentleman from New York city
who had spent all his life in by 4
fiat decided that before he reached
the gray hair stage he would renew
his youth in the country. He had for
years been a devoted worshiper of the
pumpkin when made into pie, so he
decided that his ten acres should be
devoted to this yellow fruit" One
warm day in May a neighbor. con-
scious of his superior knowledge and
of the shortcomings of the back to the
land converts, strolled over to the new
farmers place and leaned over the
fence. Williams was peeled to his I'M
dershirt and was painfully manipulate
ing a spade. He was working on the
sixth of row of holes that were about
two feet in diameter and three feet
deep. "Whatcha doin'?" inquired the
neighborly one.
"I'm getting ready to plant those
darned pumpkins" said the weary
Williams. "and you just bet that next
year I'm going to save smaller ones or
buy ditch digger to plant 'em with"

japanese Mirrors.

1t is only during comparatively
short time that the Japanese have
known glass as occidentals know it.
When the first railroads were built pas
sengers in the coaches often put their
heads through the glass, supposing the
frames of the windows to be empty.
and the railroad company at length
pasted pictures on the glass to call at
tention to the fact that solid sub
stance was behind them. The masses
of the japanese today do not know
the mirror as it is known in the west.
The richer people have one mirror, in
deed, but usually the glass used in the
mirror, sold to the populace is not
quicksilvered, being merely well pol
ished. AS for cut glass, it is practical
ly unknown in the island, and glass
drinking cups are rare.-Harper' 8

Disseminated Democratic Leaders.

Disregarded Democratic Leaders.
Washington, Aug. 13.-Surprise was
expressed by Democratic leaders of
the senate when they learned that
Governor ONeal had disregarded their
advice and had appointed Representa-
tive Henry D. Clayton to succeed the
late Senator Johnston without express
authority from the Alabama legisla-
ture.
at is my opinion that Mr.. Clayton
will not be seated" said Senator
Overman, acting chairman of the judi
ciary committee 1.-The members of the
judiciary committee and a majority of
the lawyers of the senate were of the
opinion that the seventeenth amend
ment to the constitution does not give
the governor authority to appoint a
senator except under expressed direc-
tons from the legislature"
1t was predicted that when Mr..
Clayton presented his credentials as
senator objections would be raised
Immediately and the credentials would
go to the committee on privileges and
elections for a report.
Before the news eof Governor
EO,NeaIs action reached Washington
Senator Kern, leader of the senate
majority, had sent second telegram
TO the governor, urging him to call a
special session of the legislature to
grant him authority to name senator
ad interim.

Three Months Without Sun.

In the valley of the Lyn. in England.
there is quaint little hamlet called
Middleham. where for three months IN
the year the sun Is not seen. The clus-
ter of houses forming the hamlet is sur
rounded on all sides by hills so steep
and high that from November until
February the sun does not rise high
enough to be seen over their tops. The
first appearance of the sun is eagerly
looked for. and as it is first seen on
Feb. IA the inha bitants call it their
valentine. # the day should be toggy
or cloudy, so that it cannot be seer,
there is great disappointment, For the
first few days after the 14th the sun IS
only seen for very short time, but as
the sun rises higher in the heavens the
time it is in sight increases daily until
Its height is reached. when it gradually
begins to fade from view again until in
November it entirely vanishes from
sight for another three months.
