HAD A DEGREE OF MERCY
Executloners Of Chinese Robber, Sen
fenced to Be Buried Alive,
Shortened His Agony.

A correspondent in China sends the
following:
In Ha Tony, a little village just
north Of Canton city, there lived one
Tsao All Sum. There was shrewd
suspicion that he had stolen many
oxen-fifteen, to be precise. The OK
is sacrOsanct beast Of burden, and
under village law to steal one Is n
capital offense TsaO All Sum stole
his last OK month or two ago, and
when the hue and cry went out he
fed He was eventually caught and
he had to face trial before the elders
of three villages, for he had not con-
fined his depredatiOns to his !mmedi-
ate neighborhoOd. He was found gull
~ and given the maximum penalty,
namely, to be buried alive. On the
day Of execution the village watchmen
beat the gongs and all the young men
Of the village gathered around rec
tangle eight feet deep. Before Tsao
All Sum was invited to make his rest
ing place in the hob. he was Toasted
with wine and meaS thile the elders
performed sacrifices w the benefit Of
his soul. The rite being ended two
watchmen lowered Tsao All Sum into
the hole, head downward, and while
all the young men and spectators
shouted the watchmen of another vii

gun loaded with shot which pierced
the body Of the victim in numerous

Coral Reefs Far From Ocean.

Mention of coral reefs naturally
brings to ones mind picture of palm
dotted inlets grit with white sands in
a tropical sea, but biologists Have
found coral reefs in the middle of the
great continents These, of course, be-
long to the past ages Of the earth's
history, and Paleozoic corals have been
found IN the Timan-Urals and in
the Salurian rocks of the New ST.
berian islands, but the most striking
characteristics Of these fossil corals
are similar TO those of the corals of
today. 1t Is assumed that you re
fer TO number of remarkable coral
reefs that within recent years have
been explored near cambridge. on the
Flint river, in Georgia. These reefs
are ascribed to the Tertiary age, and
in one case Il very large portion Of
the reef exposed consisted of coral
heads, some OF which were more than
c foot in diameter Between % and
30 species of coral have been recog-
niZed in these reefs.

No Husband Is Perfect.

Don't expect all the virtues in one
man. If he Is good natured he may
be lazy; If he Is scholarly, he may
be cold; If he Is thrifty, he may be
stingy; If he Is generous he may be
wasteful; If he Is smooth, he may be
deceitful. The man who charms you
with his immaculate appearance is
likely to be something of an old maid;
the man who is careful to pick threads
off your skirt is prone to pick flaws in
you; the man who takes an undue In
terest in the selection of your hats
may take an undue interest In the bill
which comes home; the man who, be-
fore marriage. jumps to open the door,
lest your fingers be contaminated by
the knob, may after marriage, allow
those same fingers to be contaminated
by the washboard.-Woman's Home

PLUMBER BOUGHT A COROT
And Art Deal Which Family Con-
demned Melted Profit Of ~, 900
for His Estate.

II would seem that the plumbers
capacity for making money is not nee
essarily confined to his business.
william B. Mccormick, writing In
Arts and Decoration, tells of one with
nothing except his instinct to guide
him who bought a superb Corot that
enriched his estate by many thousands
Of dollars.
During the exhibition Of famous
collection of art objects in New York.
twenty-five years ago, the attendants
in the gallery where the collection was
shown noticed an unfamiliar and not
very well-dressed man spending con-
siderable time each day in front of
Corot's Lake Nemi," one Of the pic
lures in the collection. On making
inquiries they found he was a we'll
TODD plumber, wholly unknown in the
picture-buying world. 1t appeared
later that he told his family he intend.
ed to buy the painting If possible and
there was a fine family row over the
matter. But he stuck to his plan
and on the night the canvas came TIP
for sale Il was knocked down TO him
for $4,000. AS long as he lived his
family never forgave him for his ex-
travagance. But they were forced to
change their opinion of his action lat
er. For when the painting was sold
after his death it brought $4,000. No
single investment Of this mans life
time ever brought him so large profit.

What size DO you Take7

Few people understand the mean
ngs of the numbers and sizes on ar
ticles of clothing, says London An
swers.
Ii hats and caps the size is one-half
the sum total of the long and short
diameters of the head. In other words,
If your head measures 13A inches,
your size in hats is 6N,
The size in gloves indicates the
number of inches round the knuckles
when the hand is closed.
The length in inches of your foot is
the number" you take In socks. In
women's hose the length of the leg is
usually three times the length of the
foot.
