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has been replaced by a scaffold on which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. , ;,'

Not one of these prisoners has been

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

Mr, Ecltenrede's Eel Catch Almost llnpar-
alleled In the Annals of Fishing.
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,

The Strangest of the "True Fairy Tales" of
. . 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.

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. "
