THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.
TORTURED TO DEATH
Whet Great Britain Owes to Holland
and Pepper.
It Is curious to remember that wheu
England's commercial greatness was
a making her most serious rival was
Holland. But the enterprising Dutch­
men ruined tbelr chances by their
greediness. Thero was a popular little
couplet which ran:
In matters of commerça the fault of the
Dutch
la giving too little and aaklng too much.
The whole course of English pre­
dominance abroad might have been
changed if the Dutch bad not “asked
too much."
In the closing years of the sixteenth
century they had a trade monopoly
with the East Indies, and they “put
up” the price of pepper to such n poiut
that the English consumer “struck.”
A meeting of London merchants
made one December afternoon a deci­
sion the importance of which to Eng­
land canuot tie exaggerated. It was
nothing less than the resolution to
form a London East India company.
The petition of these merchants to
good Queen Beas waa grauted in a
royal charter of Incorporation.
The company, founded at first to es­
tablish direct trade communication
with the east and lower the price of
pepper, soon took to Itself larger pur­
poses. Fleets of merchant ships came
and went between England and India.

The Horrible Fate of a Number of
Regicides.
The lot of the regicide when caught
is not usually a very enviable one. To
be hanged Is the least he can expect.
Perpetual solitary Imprisonment Is a
far more dreadful fate. It drove Bres-
ci, the assassin of King Humbert of
Italy, to suicide, and It transformed
Luccblni, who murdered the empress ot
Austria, Into a hopeless Imbecile
Among the plotters Implicated lu the
murder of the late shah of Persia one
was tortured to death iu prison, while
another was Incased In wet plaster ol
parts, which on setting slowly crushed
the life out of him. Three of the ns
sassins of a previous shah were tallied
alive Io huge copper caldrons.
So late as the year 1831 the two
Mavromicbaells, who slew Count Capo
d’lstra. the first president of Greece,
were Immured within close brick walls
built around them up to tbelr chins
and supplied with salted food, lint no
drink, until they died. Damlens, who
attempted the life of Klug Louis XV
of France, was first barbarously tor
tured and then tom to pieces by wild
horses. This punishment was carried
out In one of the principal squares of
Paris March 28, 1757. Bavulllac. who
assassinated Henry IV. of France, suf­
fered a similar fate.
The murderer of Selim Hl. of Turkey
was publicly Impaled, lingering five
and a half days In dreadful torment.
Those who did to death bls Immediate
successor, Mustapha IV.. were tortured
and starved on alternate days and de­
prived of sleep by night until death
came to tbelr relief.—Chicago News.
Th» R»a»on.
It was Washington's birthday, and
the minister was making a patriotic
speech to the children of the secondary
grade.
“Now. children,” be said, "when I
arose this morning the flags were wav­
ing and the houses were <1 railed with
bunting. What was that done for?"
"Washington's birthday,” answered a
youngster.
"Yes." said the minister, "but last
month I, too, had a birthday, but no
flags were flying that day, and you did
not even know 1 had a birthday. Why
was that?"
"Because," said an urchin. "Washing­
ton never told a lie." — Philadelphia

The Angler Fieh.
A singular superstition about the
angler fish is entertained in some parts
of Sweden (Bobuslan*. according to
Malm and Smitt. “It is so feared by
many that the tackle Is cut as soon as
the 'monster' reaches the surface, aud
its captor hurries home in order to get
there, if possible, before the misfor­
tune portended by the inouster over­
takes him." The extreme of misfor­
tune—death- Is believed b.v some to be
indicated. Nilsson tells that the Swed­
ish fishermen on the banks "believe
that on board the vessel on which an
angler is taken some one Is doomed to
die soon. They therefore never or
hardly ever take the angler on board
but prefer to cut the line and thus lose
the hook with the fish.”
An anemometrical faculty Is attrib­
uted to the angler lu Massachusetts
According to Storer, "among the fisher­
men In some parts of the bay there
is n common saying, ’When you tnke a
goosefish, look out for an easterly
storm.’ ”
