It causes bunches in the neck, disfig ures the skin, inflames the mucous mem brane, wastes the- muscles weakens tho bones, reduces tho power of resistance to diseaso and tho capacity for recovery, and develops into consumption.

To tbo Editor- Wo havo noticed in your paper from tlmo to time, during tho present season, eomo oxtromely In structive and interesting articles on Binding Twine. , Permit ns to add a few words today with special reference to our own influ ence in this market. The "Farm Im plement News," lseuo of July 17, gives tho following prices of twine as tho prevailing Eastern prices to tho deal ers: PIcal(ri-ft) 13 cents it round Hamtant (om-f t) 13 rents a ouml Manlln (MO-ft) Ui cents n tound Manila (ftXMt) - 16j cents a )omid Manila (GSO-lt) i cents a iKiunil Whilo it is perfectly truo and fair to say that wo would bo Justified in charging ono cent in advance of Eastern prices for our twlno of Oregon manu facture, that is, tho the price of freight added to Eastern prices, as a matter of fact, Pure Manila, Red Clover Leaf Brand, 050 foot, wo are quoting to the den lor h under date of July 16 nt 10 cents per pound, or ono cent below tho prices quoted foi Eastern goods. Taking everything into account, it scorns rensonnblo and appropriate that wo call attention to the fact that, al though many people entertain tho be lief that wo are grinding monopolists, demanding all wo can possibly get for twlno, hero wo are in tho midst of an important and strenuous season, offer ing our goods at ono cent below tho prices Eastern dealers are obligod to pay. In other words, instead of being an oppressor of tho humor, wo demon strate in a very practical manner that wo are his friend, and a good friend of the general public, because, if any Eastern twlno is' cold in this market, wo force tho Eastern manufacturer to enko n less prlco for'it than ho does in his local market besides the freight to the coast on account of our low selling prices. We cannot bo too enthusiastic about somo of tho romarks that have been rondo in your paper concerning Binding Twine. You. havo urged tho consumer repeatedly to disregard tho representa tions of unscrupulous dealers, and to always mako his decision concerning purchases of twine by asking tho ques tion, "How many bundles can you bind With a dollar's worth of twine?" If tho consumer will always keep in mind this question whon ho makes n pur chase, ho will inevitably and invariably select Pure Manila twine, for it is tho most ocoflomical certainly, as It is 30 per cent longer than tho other twine, dollar for dollar and pound for pound.

Boon to n Razed to the Ground Shocking Scenes trt the Days When Executions Were Public The Popu luce Acted Like Ucmont. Grim, forbidding old Newgate prls oti, London, which in the course of its long, period of existence has housed so lnuny men and women condemned to destruction, and around which have oc curred many remarkable scenes of'hor ror. Is at length to b'o torn down. "Sev eral times before tho historic prison's Impending doom was announced, but noy the work of demolition has actual ly begun. Old Itnlley, tho scarcely less famous court house, which adjoins ' ' - nuwoatu riusos, Newgate, will also be razed, and upon the whole site thus obtained uew court buildings of a modem typo will be erected. Ne.wgate's history Is packed unusual ly full of horrors, even for a prison which did duty In such cold-blooded tlules ns tho early part of the eigh teenth century In England. Then n.t execution vyns regarded ns a sort of di versiononly that thpre was no good humor nbout It When n hnnglng was due at Newgate they wvre held In tho open, Just outside the walls crowds used to camp Qt nil night on tho steps of the buildings round about Gin was sold even on the steps of tho scaffold, and It was no uncommon thing when a crlmlnnl whb had committed some,pnr tlculnrly outrageous offense was led out for the mob to tllug themselves on him and half murder him before the ropo could bo put around his nock. Earlier, when the prisoners who were Jcept In Newgnto were executed In Tyburn, there were even more revolting scenes. Men nnd women who were being hang ed were bowled' nt and pelted with stones nnd dirt. Others were set upon on tho roud to the gallows. Almost Cheated the IlanKtnan. One of these was Mrs Brownrlgg. Sho wns notorious for her brutality to her girl apprentices, but tlunlly eclipsed even her own record by strip ping one young girl to her wnlsr, fasten lug her hands to u ring In the celling and Hogging her bo mercilessly tmt sho died from tho effects. Whllo Mrs. llrowurlgg, who was captured while trying to get out of the country, wan being taken to Tyburn she wns pounc ed upon by a mob of women who came within an ace of cheating tho hangman of her. The scenes around the Newgate gal lows grew more violent ns time, went on. In. 1807 $0,000 people gnCbercd to see the executlou of two men, and n tho crush twouty-elght were killed nnd "seventy Injured. ATter'tho hnnglng were over the executioner used to sell the rope which he hitd used at a shil ling or more the Inch. Jack Sheppard vyns confined nt New gate after his flrst't-apture, but soon escaped. He wtu recaptured, loaded with chains nnd made fast to a staple In the tloor. Even then he got free, forced six doors, burrowed through u wall, and then went, back to his cell ro get a blanket by means of which he let 'himself down from the roof to the street. They captured him ngnln, how ever, nnd he wns hanged at Tyburn while over-200.000 Jeering people look ed on. In Newgate Mary Edmonson also was Jailed. She was banged for the murder of her aunt, but ninny sus pected that she was letting herself be destroyed In place of her lover, who was supposed to have done" tho deed. Ho wns present nt'the execution and kissed the girl on the gallows. After ward he confessed that he had killed .the (woman but was reprieved,, as the authorities were, afraid to let It be known that they had taken the life of an innocent person. Acted Like Demons. At this young woman's execution, as well as those of Fuuntleroy, the Rank er, and Ureeuucre. who murdered his sweetheart, surging crow'ds gathered and acted like demons. Finally 'these outbreaks got to be so senoils that the public hangings were given up, nnd since then they have been held Insldu Newgate n black flag being hoisted on the roof nt the moment when the drop falls. This Is the custom still, and on execution days small cvrowds collect, wait until the dug goes up and then disperse. As for old Tyburn, not only have all traces of , the old execution ground been swept away, but Its site Is nowone of the most fashionable parts of aristocratic nyde Park. Every one of the handsome carriages passing thw Marble Arch and enterlug Jhe Long Drive rolls close to the spot where ouco Stood the busy gallows. 72,000 Haasfcd ia One Jttjun. How old Newgate Is no one kuows. It was used as a prison .as far back as 1188, and prbnbly antedates that period by many years. Many times has It been rebuilt, the last time following the "no popery" riots of 1780, when the struc ture wns plundered nnd burned, the prisoners being set free, to Join the maddened mob. Durlhg the reign of Henry VIII. historians sny that 72.000 executions took place nt Newgate. Sir Thomas More writes In his Utopia tlint twenty thieves might be seen hanging from n single gibbet nnd hnuglngs were nlmost of dally occurrence. In these good old days, which some of our misguided modemors would wish to re call, the theft or a loaf or the snaring of n hare on n game preserve was punish ed with death! Torture, too, was re sorted to, and men and women, strip ped linked, were put upon the rack un til the bones and Joints were torn asun der. There were many other methods of torture, nnd brandings nnd mutllu tlon were of frequent occurrence. Executions nt Newgate were carried out often In n bungling manner. Often the coiidcinhcd would not be strangled and the executioner would catch hold of the victim nnd'ndd his own weight to that of the suspended unfortunate. This usually mnde the crowd hilarious. Nor was It the rabble alone who en Joyed jthe degrading spectncle. People of fashion would pay ai high as ?2fi for a good vantage point In n window op posite nnd frequently would spend the night , there so that no detail of the spectacle might escape. It was n ribald, reckless, combative, brutal mob who witnessed the execu tions. Fights were common nnd spec tators often hnd their limbs broken nnd their teeth knocked outl These dread ful public executions were carried on until 1S0S. A WHEEL OF DEATH. Herbert Bnencer Would Kill Criminals by Produclnit Apoplexy. Herbert Sflencer, tho most distin guished philosopher, scientist nnd stu dent of sociological problems of till age, has advanced n new theory for the kllllne of criminals, and on the face of it his plau looks plausible. Spencer J .. , ... .'.... .i.iiJiii.. i WOU1U BUDSUlUie npopicsy, nruuviiui, produced, for nil other agencies of dnth. Ills plan would be to place the con demned man upon n rotary table, with the victim's head at the center nnd the feet at the periphery, theu Bet the table In rapid motion. Spencer describes what would happen In his recently pub lished book, "Facts and Comments." He snys: "Tho effects of rotation would be tirst fulutuess, and then In sensibility an Insensibility soon made permanent If rotation wan continued. For when, after a few revolutions at considerable' ppeed, tho brain has been emptied of blood, us well as the ascend ing aortn and In large measure the heart, cessation c6uld not be ''followed by n back-tlow from the lower parts of the body sultlcleut to re-establish the actloim of the organs thus thrown out of gear; and, unquestionably, continu ance of rotation for some time would make revival altogether Impossible." Death, almost Immediate and certain ly "painless, has been caused. In experi ments nlrendy made with dogs, using similar appliance. Queen ViotorJu'M Husband. Writing of Prluco Albert In an arti cle In tho Century, on "The Royal Family of England," Professor Oscar Ilrownlng says: "From tho first tho Prince Identified himself with tho Queen In all her la bors. They had one mnd and one soul. Rising every morning with the dawn, the Prince went Into his worU' room, where their two tables stood side by side, and rend all their corre spondence, arranging everything for the Queen's convenience when she should nrrlve. He kuew all her thoughts nnd assisted all her actions, yet so adroit and selr-sacrluclug was his conduct that all the merit and pop ularity came to her. The people had no Idea that he Interfered with public affairs, yet. had they reflected they muit have known that It was Inevit able. Once during the Crimean war, when the notion got ubrond that the Prlnco had Intervened, there were talks of treason and of sending him to tho Tower; yet on' the dny of the Prince's death, on that cold, Ice-bound Saturday, Charles Klugsley'sald to the present writer: He wns King of En gland for twenty years, and no one knew it' " Kurnituru IMans.
