I WORSE THAN DEATH. System of Refined Torture That Kill In Three Years. Though the death penalty was prac tically abolished in Belgium over 30 years ago, the punishment of those con victed of capital crimes is so awful that none has yet been able to endure it more than three years. Another curious thing is that little Belgium until recently had two public executioners, while but one was sufficient for her vaster neighbor, Franoe Deibler, otherwise known as "M. de Paris." The king of the Belgians recently ordered the retire ment on a pension of 1837 francs of the "exeontor of high works" (as he is euphoniously termed), wbo was - sta tioned at Liege. .: The executioner at Brussels still holds his place. The duties of public executioner in Belgium are singular, but not arduous. The courts still continue to sentence malefactors to death, but the guillotine has been replaced by a scaffold on which is posted a copy of the sentenoa Much ceremony is observed in affixing this document A troop of gendarmes, with their . imposing helmets plumed with horsehair, is drawn up about the place of execution, which they gravely guard with sabers drawn, while the red robed executioner mounts the steps, nails up the decree of the court and after a mo ment takes it down again. , ;,' But the condemned' man might more mercifully have perished by the ax or rope.

New York World. DRESSING LIKE WOMEN. A Time When Feminine Styles Were Pre ferred by Men. 1 'In point of fact,' the early mediaeval man and woman looked as much alike as the fin de siecle wheelman and his bi cycle girl. ; Take the king and queen in a pack of cards. They are early mediae val. ; Notice the surprising similarity in their costumes the same, wide robes and angular folds, the same stained glass stiffness. ; Novices at oards may be excused for being at a loss sometimes, at least until they have learned to look for the king's beard. With the wane of the age of chivalry there came a , singular exaggeration in the toilet of- men.' ; They deliberately imitated the women. They allowed their hair to grow long; cultivated curls by the hot irons and ointments and ac tually wore chaplets, like diadems, to curb their flowing locks. In the texture and color, of their garments they showed the same effeminacy, for they began to affect brilliant reds, and blues and to wear costly trimmings and jewelry. ' This, too, was the age of the sighing, wailing lover, fainting at his mistress' frown. Every knight who could write or sing posed as a minstrel and re hearsed his love affairs. At every gath ering of the nobility there was a child ish prattle of love, cloying and monoto nous , for . very sweetness The sexes seemed to have changed places. It was the lover who was a shy wallflower, who blnshed and went about woeful and woe worn from - his secret passion. As we look over the poems of the min nesingers, those bards of love, the lady seems always unapproachable, listening with contemptuous mien to the gentle man's gentle advances. While he suc cumbs to nervous exhaustion she goes about her business perfectly healthy, either indifferent or cruelly conscious of her power. -W. D McCracken in Lip pinoott's. ' ' ' "'. , . Possibly.

A remarkable haul of eels was made the other day by Cosmos Eckenrode, who was fishing along the Tulpehocken. There is a variety of eels known as the tandem eel, which is very seldom found in this state, though common in the west. A peculiarity of this variety is that they travel, when migrating, single file, about six inches apart, and maintain that dis tance exactly during the time of their progress. If one of the lot shoots ahead too rapidly, the one following immedi ately grasps him by the tail in order to drag him back to his proper place in the line. They appear to have a remarkable instinct for distance, and the variation of an inch will cause the rear eel to ex ercise his authority to put the brakes on the one ahead. While Mr. Eckenrode was fishing he hooked one of the travelers, a very re markable circumstance, as they seldom bite while migrating. As soon as he had hooked it he of course gave a haul on the line, which caused this particular eel to shoot ahead. He was - immediately grasped by the one following, and as that one likewise shot ahead the next one did the same, so that when Mr. Ecken rode began to haul out he found a solid rope of eels. Dropping his rod and line, he grasped the living rope and began to haul in hand over hand: He kept haul ing in and piling up the eels until he was utterly exhausted, when he ! was obliged to stop and cut the connection. He quickly ran for assistance,' and a number of the neighbors came to help him take care of his rare catch. When they were all gathered up and loaded on wagons, it was found that he had 875 pounds. ' About $50 worth were sent to the Reading market, and the rest were distributed among his neighbors. The news of his remarkable catch has spread all over the upper part of the county, and a great many fishermen have been endeavoring to repeat it, but with out success, since, according to natural ists, an occurrence of this sort is one of the rarest in fishing. Reading Herald, LIGHTING THE CAPITOL. A Large Electric Light Plant to Be Put In by the Government. . It is probable that the electric lighting plant to be put in the nation's capitol will not only be required to light that building, but also to illuminate the con gressional library, which is to be the largest building of its kind in tne world, and which, by reason of its uses, will re quire the best class of illumination. To accommodate such a plant it will be necessary to locate the engine and dynamos in a structure erected for this special purpose. The location of the power house is now being carefully con sidered, and the decision will probably be reached very soon. The house will be ornamental in appearance, and will be of sufficient size to contain not only the eight dynamos necessary for the present, but also for other buildings that may be added to the group clustering around the capitol, notably the home for the su preme court. A careful estimate has placed the orig inal cost of the building, the machinery, the wiring and general installation of the plant at $200,000. This will insure the work to be of the best character and the plant to be of sufficient size to furnish all the light that can be used in the build ings and the grounds. This latter is a most important item in the calculations, for at present there is an Utterly inade quate illumination of the great park. It is not certain whether the. grounds will be lighted by arc lamps or groups of in candescent globes. But this is a matter of detail to be settled afterward. A rough estimate that has already been made of the cost of maintaining the new plant, which will do not' only the work now done by the gas and electric plants in the capitol building, but also the entire work of lighting the new library build ing and the Maltby House, shows that it will cost in the neighborhood or $1U,U0U, Philadelphia Record. , . .. . Barry O'Brien's Canard. - The Speaker, a weekly literary organ of liberalism, endeavors to create a po litical sensation by announcing the dis covery of a grand new Tory scheme. The design is to dish the Home Rulers by the establishment of five great national coun cils, two for England and one each for Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with the endowment of an Irish Catholic univer sity. The Speaker further declares that the scheme has been submitted to the leaders of the Irish Nationalist parties. Probably this pretty story has been ca bled to America with a show of authority. There are signs that it set politicians here talking freely. Therefore it is neces sary to say that the whole thing is a fan tastic fake. The proud author is Barry O'Brien, barrister, journalist and writer of several books on Irish politics which Gladstone has praised. London Letter A House of Buttons. , . .

Modern Science. ! , i Among the well known diseases whose bacterial origin is already placed beyond reasonable doubt are erysipelas, tubercu losis, diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid fever, croupous pneumonia and influenza. . The facts discovered regarding some of these during the past 15 years are among the strangest of the "true fairy tales" of mod ern science. For example, the micrococcus of croupous pneumonia, as discovered by Dr. Sternberg, lurks in, the mouth and is harmless there, awaiting, as it were, an opportunity when a condition of lowered vitality of the By stem, as from exposure to cold, shall enable it to take up its active abode in the lungs and begin a develop ment whose results will be manifest in an inflammation of those organs. Again, it appears that the bacillus of tetanus, or lockjaw, is abundant everywhere in the soil and may rest on ' the surface of the human body or be taken into the stomach without producing injury. Even on the surface of an open wound it cannot devel-- op, it being one of the bacteria that can not grow in the presence of free oxygen But if introduced into a deeper wound away from the air it may develop rapidly and produce the painful and often fatal disease tetanus. Thus is explained the fact, always before a mystery, that even slight and seemingly insignificant punc ture wounds are more likely to produce this disease than are open lesions that otherwise are far more serious. It js an interesting and highly suggest ive fact, as showing the power of resist ance of the human body under normal conditions, that a bacterium capable of producing such a disease as this may be so abundant all about us and yet so infre quently find opportunity for malignant ac tivity . But the same thing appears, to be true in greater or less degree of all the other bacteria that may develop in the hu man body.. Even when introduced into the body they are harmless, unless they find the conditions there favorable to their de-. velopment. Thus there are probably very few persons who have not at one time or another inhaled the bacillus of tuberculo sis or its spores, but the lungs of only the relatively few furnish a favorable soil for its development. These susceptible per sons develop the disease. .. The others are said to be immune as regards this partic ular bacillus. But susceptibility and im munity are relative terms, and a person whose tissues at one time resist the mi crobe may at another time succumb to it, The exact nature of the ."inherent vital ity" which we are accustomed to speak of as giving the tissues power to resist the micro-organisms we understand as little as our ancestors understood the real cause of the contagious diseases. Perhaps the microscope will help to enlighten us in this regard in the next, bait century. Harper's Weekly. - , if : . v The Old Southern Gentleman Still. "There are some touches of nature to be found among the decayed gentility of the sonth that to me are peculiarly sympathet ic," said L. E. Buford of Charleston. ' "I was in Augusta, Ga., some time ago, and I will relate an incident that illustrates what I mean. Green street in Augusta constitutes the principal business street, and at either end of the business thor oughfare is a market in the center of the street. I was strolling through 'one of these market houses wheto I noticed a very old man with an antiquated hat from which all the nap except a few straggling threads of silk had been brushed, a wide shaker, a broadcloth suit buttoned to the throat and carefully darned at the elbows and around the binding, and carrying a gold headed cane. : He walked with an air of dignity, while at his heels trotted a bare footed, ragged pickaninny. He went to a meat stall, and in tones of unconscious patronage said, 'Give me 5 cents' worth of round steck, sir.' The meat was wrapped- up, and the old man searched his pockets, the expression of his face show ing the greatest mortification. 'I did have a dime, sir,' he said. The dime was found, and after receiving a nickel in change the old man banded the meat and the nickel to the little darky, who trudged home be hind the old man. It was a little thing, but it contained a whole biography of that man's life to those who knew the customs of the old time southern aristocracv. " SMEW Portlandi Walla Walla, Spokane, via O. K & N.
