The board is in two parts, each of which contains two semicircular apertures. The half boards are screwed together so as to form a huge collar framo, leaving the head aud one of the hands visible above. A chain is attached to the board, by the other end of which the warder drags the prisoner. On the board are inscriptions in Tibetan aud Chinese giving an account of the nature of the crime aud penalty inflicted.

Culminating Record of Bulls. Sir, if you admit the following “ower true tale” to be an illustration of ab sentmindedness, I think it will be ac cepted as the culminating record. A gentleman returned this answer to a bookseller who sent in his account for a book some time before delivered: “I never ordered the book. If I did, you did not send it. If you sent it, I never got it. If I got it, I paid for it. If I didn’t, I won’t.’’—London Spectator. The beaver hunters of the early days of this country believed that the severi ty of the coming winter was indicated by the thickness of tiie beaver huts. Nature is an aeolian harp, a musical instrument, whose tones are the re-echo of higher strings within us.—Novalis. The Water Tree. M. Dueharte recently made known to the French Academy of Sciences the re sults of an experiment made by M. Maxime Lecomte in Kongo upon a tree of the genus museuga. Upon making in cisions in the trunk of it and placing a pail at the foot of the tree, more than ten quarts of pure water collected in 13 hours. The gorillas, it seems, are in the habit of slaking their thirst at these hidden fountains, aud regulate the flow of liquid at will by pulling off different sized branches. Many years ago Dr. Wallich found in the province of Martaban, Africa, a plant belonging to the same natural or der, whose soft aud porous wood dis charged, when wounded, a very large quantity of a pure aud tasteless fluid, which was quite wholesome and was used as a beverage by the natives. This plant was named by Dr. Wallic» the Water vine, and has been placed iu the genus Phytocrene,which signifies “plant fountain.” These plants form a remark able exception to the usual character of the order, which embraces species that produce a milky juice—such, for exam ple, as the celebrated cow tree, or palo de vaca, of South America, which yields a copious supply of a rich and whole some milk, as good as that of the cow, and used for the same purpose.—Publio Opinion. A Quarter Not Enough. She was trim and pretty stylish and she was in a hurry Jo get down town. She had lots of things to buy, and it was almost noon and she was worried. There was a hint of a frown on her pretty brow as she hailed one of the green cars which trickle down Indiana avenue and she hurriedly climbed into an end seat. Then she began studying & little list of things she was to purchase. There was embroidery, silk and phena cetin and to change the shoes and pay the gas bill. While she was trying to think of something else she caught the glimpse of a blue uniform with brass buttons on the footboard beside her, and delving into her purse she held out a quarter aud continued to scan the pa per. The expected touch of the conductor’s fingers did not come. The quarter re mained thrust out into the air, and when the pretty little woman looked up iu surprise, her glance fell on a big policeman who was smiling down on her. She drew in the quarter iu a hurry, as bending downward toward her, the copper said: “No, thank you, ma’am. I never take anything as small as that.” —Chicago Chronicle. Komping Games at the Tuileries. The emperor and empress were ex ceedingly hospitable aud kind hosts, anxious to amuse their guests, but for this purpose unfortunately romping games were often chosen, which, though certainlly undignified and ill suited to those beyond school years, had not, how ever, the character attributed to them by public report, nor the licentious free dom believed in by the Faubourg St. Germain and contemptuously sneered at by its aristocratic inhabitants. The mistake lay in doing on a large scale what ought to be tolerated only among intimate friends and very young people. But the mean ingratitude of those who enjoyed all the generous kindness lav- : ished on their guests by the imperial hosts, and then disfigured the truth to sneer at them with their enemies, was too contemptible to be even mentioned with patience.—“Life Iu the Tuileries Under the Second Empire,” by Auna L. Bicknell, iu Century. Ice Tombs In the Alps. A skeleton has been found in one of the fissures of the Ademello glacier, in the southern Tyrol, which is thought to be that of an American tourist of the name of Ruth, who disappeared in 1890. These fissures cleave glaciers at all an gles, and it is very easy to slip into one of them. When once in it is hardly pos sible to get out without outside help. Aud the warmth of the bedy melts the Ice around, so that the victim slowly descends by his own weight into the depths of the glacier, and generally starves to death. On looking into these fissures the most beautiful play of light in blue and green aud rainbow colors is seen away down. But these are best enjoyed from the safe vantage ground of the upper, outside world, rather than •down in the depths and close at hand. In some instances, it is said, bodies have been preserved down in these fis sures in the ice for years.—Hartford Times.

The mother of John and Charles Wes ley, the founders of Methodism, was one of the most remarkable characters of her own or any other age. From tender years the principles of religion aud practical piety were instilled by her iu the minds of her children.

Like the German king who, according to Carlyle, declared himself to be above grammar, so does the Persian monarch consider himself above criticism. Yet, like all poets, be is glad to lend an ear to it when it is favorable. One day, however, having completed a poem which particularly delighted him, he deigned to read it to one of the most prominent men of letters attached to his household. “What do you think of it?” he asked after reading his verses aloud. "I do not altogether like the poem,” was the candid reply. "What an ass you are to say so!” re plied the offended sovereign, and there was certainly much wisdom in the royal words, for the misguided critic was forthwith ordered to the stables to be flogged.

A showman at the fair possessed a beautiful parrot, which accompanied him everywhere on his peregrinations through town und country and excited the admiration of the gaping crowd by its capital imitation of the showman’s voice and tones when inviting the pub lic to step into the booth.

Soon a number of men aud boys were on its track, but before they had gone far they heard a loud noise caused by the screeching of birds iu the wood.

The invention of Dr R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y., has, during the past thirty years, made a record in the cure of bronchial, throat and lung diseases that fairly entitles it to out rank all other advertised remedies for these affections Especially has it manifested its potency in curing consumption of the lungs Not every case, but we believe Fully 98 Per Cent. of all cases of consumption, in all its earlier stages, are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the luugs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (includ ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by “Golden Med ical Discovery ” were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced ami advised against a trial of “Golden Medical Discovery,’’ but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy “emulsions” and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time.
