A TALK WITH THE WORLD'S MOST NOTED EXECUTIONER. ror Orer Forty Tears II Has fieea Maxtor of the Guillotine lie Describe tbe Method of rteeetlon reels nit Respon sibility Moat Acutely. Comparatively few Frenchmen are eo qunlnted thnt l, personally noqualntod With tbolr droodud and mysterious com patriot Monsieur de I'arls, and It Is no easy matter to come across him, for bis name Is omitted from tho l'nrls dimctory, snd the police absolutely refuso to have southing to say as to his whereabouts. However, being In I'arls not so very long since, snd having some perhaps par donable curiosity concerning a ceremony In which the guillotine ploys the most imminent part, I obtained a letter of In troduction to Monsieur de I'arls, who Is the pnbllo executioner of Frsnco, known In private llfo as M. Doiblcr, and who, this ac'iunlntanco of mine said, though of a moNt retiring disposition, with a perfor dread of nctorloty and avoiding contnot with lnitiUltlv8 strangers, more especial ly joumullxts, ns much ns possible, would not be found Indisposed to give Just a fow details of bis by no moans enviable pro fession. "Just 41 years ngo," snld he, "I suc ceeded M. Iloclio, who had been volet to the famous or notorious M. Ilolndrleh, and with whom I served my apprentice ship In turn In 1853. I emitted him alto gether In h2 executions beforo I coiu mencod business on my own acoount, so I was no novlco. Yet my flrnt Independent performance was not an cany matter, I can asiure you, for the criminal, a youth named Laprndn, who had murdurvd his father, mother and grandmother, resisted so strenuously thnt I was compelled to ro sort to methods tho reverse of gentle. Howevur, the story of thnt ozeoutlun got noised abrond, and, though tho I'arls Jour nnllsts wero very severe with mo and de clared that I lost my heud ns well as did the wretch I executed, since then I have found my clients less recalcitrant Until my appointment I followed the trade of a tailor, and so from a maker of gnrments In second claxs emporiums I hnvo worked my way up, ns you too, to be a flrst class cutter In the government establishment." And M. Dulbler laughed heartily at his own rather ghastly Joke. I next ventured to nslc If I could be al lowed a private view of tho gulllotlno, which Its manipulator referred to at "la maehlno." M. Dulbler shook his hesd most decisive ly. "Impossible! Quito Impossible! liul hero Is a model whluh will show you how It Is worked. It Is nil very simple. The culprit Is strapped on to this seesaw plsnk, which, toppling over, brings his neck luto this semicircular ring, called 'In lunotte,' where It la secured thus. Then I touch this button, tho knife, which Is heavily weighted tu miil.o It full swiftly, descends with tremendous foreo, nnd the heud Is received In a tin pnn partially tilled with snwdintt Is It not simple nowf I may tell you that I nlways keep 'la lunch Ino rendy for um, ns I am liable to bo sum moned at n moment's notice. I am sup ikimmI torocelvo n full day's notice In I'arls nnd two days for the departments, but I always hold myself In readiness to start at any moment, ns so soon as the day nnd hour of nn execution are fixed by the au thorities there Is n greatdoal to bo dune In a very short time. "In l'nrls I mako It a ruto to pass the night preceding an execution at tho Ho tietto prison so ns to bo on tho spot whan tho two black vans ono ountnliilng the 'woods of Justice' and tho other destlnod to convey the body of tho culprit to Ivry cemetery nrrlvo lit daybreak. Then I personally superintend tho Installation of )k maehlno and give dress rehearsal, as fvero, of tho orfoniianoo with the gen tleman who Is to take the loading role left out. Hy this means I have always, with ono solitary exception, avoided any hitch at tho last critical moment As toon as the hour decided upon strikes tbo culprit Is hnndod over to my assistant, who, to gether with tho prison ohnplnln, escorts him to the dupot his last t tntlon on earth beforo reaching In mnchlno where his toilet Is performed. This does not take long, for lilt hnlrand beard have been kept close cropped stneo his condemnation. He Is pinioned, his shirt collur cut owny, and ho kms forth to his death. As soon as the body Is unstrapped from tho plank It Is put Into a collln, with tho head between tho feet, driven off to the cemetery and burl.il." "And now, M. IVIbler," I said, "what Is your opinion ns to the theory that life actually endures In tho head fur some lit tle time after It issuverud from the body?" "Well," was the reply, given rcUootlvo ly, "I hnvo certainly on more thun one oo cntlon seen tho eyes In a dornpltntod head open and clone and tho lips twltuh con vulsively for (jutto toil minutes nnd even longer nfter tho fatal struko has been given. Hut though this mny give all the semhlaneo of HnKorlng life, I do not fancy thnt It Is life, and for this ronton: You see, tho knife Is so heavily weighted that nt tho sumo Imitnnt thnt tho ncek Is sever ed tho occiput receives a blow thnt fre quently crucks the skull, nnd would, In loy opinion, be quite suRlelent to drive out any my of memory, relleetlun er real sen sibility that might otherwise liiiKor In the brain.

The sound of a boy's penny whlstlo there In the grove or the meadow would separate Itself more from the background of noturo and be a greater challengo to the far than Is the strain of the thrush or tho song of the sparrow. There Is something elusive, Indefinite, noutral, alxmt bird songs that makes them strike obliquely, as It wero, upon tho car, and wo are very apt to miss thorn. They aro a part of nature, and nature lies about as, entirely occupied with her own affairs and qulto regordless of our presence, llenoo It It with bird songs as It is with so many other things In nnture they are what we mako them. The ear that henrs them must le half creative. I am alwnys disturbed whon persons not especially observant of birds ask me to take them where tney can msir some par ticular bird tho somr of whloh they havo become Interested In through a descrip tion of it In some book.

I have taken rcrsnn to hear the hermit thrush, and I nve fancied thot they were all tho tlmo saying to themselves, "Is that all'" But when one hears tho bird In his walk, when tho mind Is attuned to simple things and Is open nnd receptive, when expectation Is not aroused and tho song oomos as a tur prise out of thedutky silence of tho woods, one fcelt that It merits all the flno things that can bo said of 16. DECAY OP THE SUNDAY SCHOOL Tho Average Bandar School of Today It a Itebnke to IntelllgrDce. In Tho Ladles' Homo Journnl Edward Dok writes on "Tho Decay of the Hundny School," and points out the reasons there for. "I have In mind," he snys, "not less than 19 different men who nro acting ns superintendents of our Sunday schools. Not ono of theso men l.ns even a sukkcs tlon of foreo; not a sjsirU of personal iiibii nutlsin, not a porsonul possession which goes to draw children to him or to tho school ovor which be presides. Inllvoof theso oases tho men hnvo been failures In business; by men In tho outer world they are passed over and yet tho church places them In positions which cnll pre eminently for overy clement which they so distinctly lack. "To be a successful head of a Sundny school calls for a man with the Instincts of leadership a man who will Infuse llfo Into the school, hopo and oourngo Into his toaohors, who Is fertile of mind and In finite In capacity, who can draw children to blm and retain their Interest Not only must he elevate bis children In a spiritual sense, but lessons of tho highest morality must be taught, an luflucnco refining to mind and nature must be oxbaled, and all the tlmo the Interest of tho children must be arrested and held. Infinite variety of niotbod mutt be souuht "Tho young quickly tire of anything which long reiunlnt tho same, nnd that Is why they are tiring of tho Sunday school It has too long remained the same. It has fallen luto a rut, and the fault lice between the presiding spirits of tho school who have uo ability for their positions and the churches who have placed them there or allowed them to remnln." Mr. liok concludes his discussion with the asser tlon that "tho average Sundny school of today Is a rebuke to Intelligence and a dls credit to the church." Siberian Gentleman's Life.

At that tlmo there stood In one of tho old alley courts on tho west slilo a number of very old houses, tenanted by tho lowest cluss of Italians, the ragpickers. Of tho orlnlnul muL'nlllceiiee of the mansions ono outward nnd visible sign remained tho enormous mahogany doors, with small, fancifully shaped window pillars at the side.

Merely ns a speculation It seemed worth tho money, which was paid down, with tho order thnt the artlclo be rent ton pluoe where polishing nnd repairing is dune. "It's glad I am to gut rid of It, lady," said tho man. "Last year It was I give 75 cents fur It nt a auction, and I haven't had tho whisper of nn offer fur It till today."
