An Executioner for Connecticut.

'i’llosaic days, there is naturally a shrink-

ing frOm becoming personally respons-
ible for the taking of human life, even
under the authority of human law.
The executioner of France had to be a
man unknown, so hideous was his duty

FEMININE CHAT.

To be a good liar one must also pos-
x-ssa good memory.

At this season of, the year the even-
ing gown is at its-zenith.

Some girls seem to think it the great-
an! ion to make a bashful youth blush.

Life is not altogether desolate to the
woman who owns a handsome velvet
gown. ' _

A tight collar can make a woman’s
nhroat look older than her actual age,
no matter what that may be. '

The person who talks loudest about
his or her virtue is generally the one
who has never been tempted.

The facility with which the average
grisbn can get credit means the mesh
nfdebt from which it is so hard to es'
rape. .‘

H'hy is it so many women make home
anything but what its name implies
whenever the carver gets a spot on the
Table cloth ‘3

‘Wliy, oh, Why, when shell hairpins
are so cheap, will women wear metal
names that have lost all their semblance
of decency ‘? .

The man who has tact enough to re-
drain from conversation when a woman
is overcome by her emotions is the one
most surely to be liked by her.

It gives one something of a shock to
read of persons long since dead cavort-
inn; at balls and other mundane func-
one... Yet; perhaps they are—we are

not here to gainsay the power of the,

ways confident of his strength. and
rarely overreaches himself in such con-

lingering by the mountain rivers.
watching for ducks or geese, or even
fish, a pair of eagles will display their
natural shrewdness. They swoop from
upon the foWl,
which tries to escape by diving, and
could outwit one eagle, but suddenly,
as the bird comes to the surface of the
water, the second eagle seizes him.

With its wonderful power of sight,
covering a radius of miles, the eagle
combines a swiftness of flight equally
marvellous. In a single night and day
a full-grown eagle can fly 1,000 miles.
Oftentimes the visitor in the Tennessee
mountains can just see him like a lit‘
tle speck in the sky, moving restlessly
and rapidly in majestic circles about
the crest of a far-away peak. . The
sightseers and mountaineers who love
to watch the eagles always choose the
break of dawn or a. calm sunset. Then
they are to be seen wheelingin circles
and gliding about in horizontal sweeps,
just before starting out on a day’s hunt
or settling for the night.

AN AUTOGRAPH ' QUILT.

 

Product of the Industry of an Aged Wo-
man of Topeka.

(“he of the greatest curiosities in To
reg-Ha is a quilt made by Mrs. Cornelia
lilzcl‘kn’lall, of Pittsburg. Mrs. Black-
men is ,74 years old, and has spent ten
years of her life working on the guilt.

The quilt is made of bits of ribbon,
each containing the authograph of
some statemen or well-known man or
woman. Mrs. Blackman sent the rib-
bon to the celebrities herself, and she
collected 479 autographs in that man-
ner. .
Among the names on the quilt are
Roscoe Conkling,ex-President and Mrs.
R. B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison,
Grover Cleveland, Kate Field, General
W. T. Sherman, Senator
man, Lotta, Kate-Douglas Wiggin, W.
Q. Gresham and P. B. Plumb. To
every name attaches some interesting
history. For instance, Mrs. Blackman
sent a piece of ribbon to Roscoe Conk-
ling for his signature. He blotted one
side, and, turning the ribbon ever,
wrote on the other side. She returned
the disfigured ribbon to him and told
him that she was surprised that a'man
of his standing should treat an old wo-
man as he had done. This had~ its
effect, and the ribbon came back all
right, with a letter from Mr. Conkling
apologizing for his carelessness.

Mrs. Blackman says that she has so-
cured signatures from but two ’peOple
who have not made themselves famous
by some act. Those two are John W.
Mankay, the California multi-million-
aire, and Ward McAllister, now dead,
but who was the leaderot New York's
Four Hundred for many years. She
says that she does not consider that
these men ever did anything to entitle

them to a place among the famous on 4

the quilt, but she put them there to
have variety—Topeka, Kan., Journal:

ARMOR'ED PLANTS.
Thorns aim Spices that. Protect ‘Plauts
from Their Enemies.

Did you ever stop .to think why
thistles are so well armed with-sharp
prickles or why the ugly roadside net-
tles are furnished with stinging hairs?
Notice cattle grazing in afield Where
thistles or nettles grow; see how care-
ful they are to let those disagreeable
plants alone. That is the reason for
the stings and the spines. See the
honey locust tree bristling with its
horrid array of three-pointed thorns.
What animal is brave enough to try to
or great pods?
Hawthorns, too, and rose bushes and
blackberry briars all have their sharp
little swords and daggers to defend
themselves against browsing animals.

Out on the wide, hot deserts of Ari-
zona and New Mexico those odd plants,
the cacti, grow in great numbers. Some
of them take strange shapes—tall, flut-
ed columns, branching candelabra, er
mere round balls, like the melon-cac-
tus. They are almost the only plants
that grow in some parts of that coun-

:try,‘and there is always plenty of sap

inside their tough skins. To the hungry

and thirsty creatures that roam those ,
dreary wastes in search of food and wa-

ter they are very tempting. Were they
not in some way protected, these cacti
would soon be entirely destroyed. But
nature has made them to be like strong
forts or great armored battle ships
among plants. They are guarded by
all sorts of sharp spines and prickles
and fine hairs that burn when they get
into the flesh—St. Nicholas.

 

It is said that the'bl'dest newspaper
in the world is the Kin Pan, of Pekin.
For nearly a thousand years it has
been published regularly, first ,as a
monthly, up to the year 1361, when it
became a weekly, and for the last nine-
ty years as a daily.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.

. ' _WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp—Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or,
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp—Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for, its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
