Limitations run against individ

That's how it comes that cases
are not infrequent of a man living

Tortura to tha Victim.
People who rvmt of larrlinr mul
fcathcriug kuow that the punishment
la a very unpleasant one, but few Im
agine how terribly painful and dan
gerous It I. Hardened tar Is very
hard to remove from the skin, ami
when feathers are added tt forms a
kind of cement that sticks closer than
a brother. As soon as the tnr sets the.
victim's suffering begins. It eontraets
as It cools, ami every one of the little
veins on the body Is pulled, causing the
most oxmilsltc agony. The Hrsplra
tlon Is entirely Mopped, and uula tho
tar Is removed death Is certain to eu
ue. Hut the removal Is no easy task and
requires several days. The tnr vtuinot
be softened by the application of heat
and must l peeled off bit by bit.
tweet oil belli used to make the prtw
?s less pntnful. The Irritation to tho
jkln Is very great, as the halm cannot
In? disengaged, but must be pulled out
or cut off. No man can bo cleaned of
tnr In n single day. as tho palu of the
operation would be too cxinirlatlug
for endurance, nod until this Is done he
has to suffer from a pain IIVo that of
10.000 pin pricks. Milliliters of men
have died under the torture, and none
who have pun through It regard tar
nd feathering as anything but a most
fearful Intllctlon.

"When the wind Is blowing thirty
miles an hour and the temperature Is
40 below It is some cold." said u man
from Alaska. "If a man used tobacco
In the ordinary way out of doors dur
ing such weather and got bis lips wet
through smoking a plpo or chewing he
would bo apt to get Into trouble. First
thins he knew he'd have his lips crack
ed, and they would bo raw all winter
long.
"The regulars stationed at tho mili
tary posts up In Alaska found that If
they tied a tobacco leaf In their arm
pit previous to undcslrcd duty they
would becomo very sick and could pass
the post surgeon for hospital, petting
rid of detail work they wanted to
avoid.
"The miners up there learned some
thing of this and found that tho tobac
co craving could bo satisfied by bind
ing a quantity of the leaf cither in the
armpit or against tho solar plexus.
This avoided broken and bleeding lips
daring the winter, and they weren't
prevented from smoking Indoors as
well If they wanted to. It was the out
door smoking or chewing that inado all
the trouble.' New York Sun.

Tha Friction of tha Boat Marfa
Ocean Almost Boll.
The steamship was speeding over
seas with a record breaking list of
passengers wbon one of the gay, young
and Inquiring girls who are found on
every trip skipped up to the captain
and asked:
"Captain, are we really going fast?
It seems as If we were Just crawling."
"Fast," answered the captain gruff
ly, "of course we're going fast With
nothing to see but water and sky you
can't Judge our speed, but. my dear
young lady, the friction of tho boat Is
so great It mskus tho water hot aft."
"I don't believe It." giggled the girl,
and tbe captain, with u great show of
Indignation, oalicd for a rope and
bucket to prove bis wordi. These
brought, he slung the pall down aft of
the vifwel directly under the drainpipe
of the galley, where hot water runs
all day, and brought It up smoking, to
the astonishment of tho awstruck girl.

Way to Traat Vsnlton.
The sportsman was explaining to a
few of his uninitiated friends.
"If yon don't like venison," he said.
"It Is because It lias not been prepared
properly. I think I know the kind you
havo tried to cat, nnd 1 agreu with
you It Is not fit. After the deer has
been shot the carcass probably has
been allowed to lie around uutll the
blood has discolored tho meat and
really has almost tainted It. Few
hunters dress their gamo carefully
enough. As soon as a deer Is killed
tho carcass should be thoroughly bled,
skinned, the entrails removed and tbe
meat hung up In the dry air for some
bpurs. Thorough and prompt bleeding
Is of tho utmost Importance. Venlsou

bright red, and the fat Is white and

Fslthful Woman.
I tell you that women, as a rule, are
more faithful than meu ten times
more faithful. I novcr saw a man
pursue his wife Into the very ditch and
dust of degradation and take her In
bis arms. I never saw a man stand at
the shore whero she was wrecked,
waiting for tho wares to bring back
her corpse to his arms, but I havo seen
a woman with her white arms lift a
man from the mire of degradation and
bold him to her bosotn as If bo were
an angcL Ingersoll.
