FRIENDLY ANIMALS.
Th« Intimacy B«tw««n Them and Man
In Yallowatona Park.
D m of the moat pleasant features of
the drive through tbe Yellowstone Na
tional park Is tbe apparent intimacy be
tween mao and tbe animal and bird
life In tbe park. Thanks to tbe wise and
stringent regulstlpns. no shooting is
allowed wltbln Its boundaries. "The

(Hwltlvely charming. Hundreds of little
chipmunks, wltb tbelr gaudy striped
backs, scamper Impudently about or
peer at tbe passing coacb from tbe
roadside. Tbe squirrel did not bolt for
tbe nearest tree, but nodded a wel
come. All bird life treated us like
wise. Even tbe lordly eagle hovered
near, and the wild turkey stalked un
concernedly through tbe rank grass.
We perceived a doe and a fawn graz
ing by tbe road. Not until we were
wltbln a few feet did they seek tbe
shelter of the woods, yet not to fly.
They simply moved aside. Here at
least mankind was regarded as a
friend-one who could be trusted. The
only animal who ran away was a
brown bear He turned tall at tbe sight
of a coaching party. Yet It was quite
a common thing for bears to approach
close to the hotels at evening to feed
on the refuse thrown out. It was an
after dinner relaxation for tbe guests
to watch them feeding. They munched
and disputed the choicest morsels, for
the most part Indifferent to the com
pany. Only when we became Inquis
itive and approached too near did they
retire, and these animals were perfect
ly free and unfettered In their move
ments. It may read like a fairy tale,
but It Is solid fact."
Tha Mods of Death Selected by a Chi

! Incident printed In oue of the China
port Journals attest. A man In Sueblen.
condemned to die, preferred to be
, burled alive, and his wishes were car
ried out to tbe letter.
During the famine two brothers
who lived In Bucbten fought desper
ately to stave off starvation from their
families and bad blood arose between
them. At last the elder brother sold
bis father's coffin for food. When he
refused to divide tbe proceeds with bls
younger brother the latter chopped off
bls bead with a cleaver.
Because it was too expensive to
carry the murderer several scores of
miles to the nearest yamen of Justice
tbe local elders, including tbe father
of the murderer, whose coffin had been
sold, sat In Justice upon the culprit and
condemned blm to death. He asked
that be be burled alive Instead of re
ceiving tbe horrible torture of tbe
"thirty slices.'' The father Interceded
with tbe other elders to get them to
grant bls son's request.
A grave was dug. and the rietini,
with his arms and feet securely bouud.
was trundled Is a wheelbarrow to tbe
edge of the pit by his wife, There.
upon the murderer's own request, bls
bonds were loosed, and be walked to
the grave, lowered himself Into it and
was ready.
The victim's wife put a felt hat over
bis mouth as bls request, and then she
helped tbe elders to till In the grave

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.
TORTURED TO DEATH
What Great Britain Owes to Holland
snd Pepper.
it is curious to remember that wheu
England's commercial greatness was
a-maklng her most serious rival was
Holland. But the enterprising Dutch
men ruined their 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 asking too much.
The whole course of English pre
dominance abroad might have been
changed if tbe Dutch bad not "asked
too much."
In the closing years of the sixteenth
century they had n trade monopoly
wdth the East Indies, and they "put
up” tbe price of pepper to such a point
that the English consumer "struck."
A meeting of London merchants
made one December afternoon a deci
sion the Importance of which to Eng
land cannot tie exaggerated. It was
nothing less than tbe resolution to
form a London East India company.
The petition of these merchants to
good Queen Bess was granted 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,
«nd from tbe quarrel about pepper the
corporation of merchants was des
tined. through Clive and its "nabobs,"
to give England a vast empire.—Pear
son's Weekly.
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.
Terpetual solitary Imprisonment Is a
far more dreadful fate. It drove Brea
ch the assassin of King Humbert of
Italy, to suicide, and it transformed
Luccblnl. who murdered the empress of
Austria, Into a hopeless Imlieclle
Among tbe plotters Implicated lu tbe
murder of the late sbab of Persia one
was tortured to death lu prison, while
another was Incased in wet plaster ol
parts, which on setting slowly crushed
tlie life out of him. Three of tbe as
sasslus of a previous shah were boiled
alive In huge copper caldrons.
So late ns the year 1831 tbe two
Mavromlcbaells, who slew Count Capo
d'lstra. the first president of Greece,
were Immured within close brick walls
built around them up to their chins
and supplied with salted food, lint no
drink, until they died. Damiens, who
attempted the life of King Louis XV
of France, was first barbarously tor-
tured and then tom to pieces by wild
horses. This punishment was curried
out in one of the principal squares of
Paris March 28. 1757. Bavalllac. who
assassinated Henry IV. of France, suf

and starved on alternate days and de
prived of sleep by night until death
came to their relief.—Chicago News.
The Reason.
It was Washington's birthday, and
the minister was making a patriotic
speech to tbe children of tbe secondary
grade.
"Now. children," be said, "when 1
arose thia morning tbe flags were wav
ing and the houses were draped with
bunting. Wliat was that done for?"
“Washington's birthday,” answered a
youngster.
"Yes." said the minister, "but last
month I, too. hud a birthday, but no
flags were flying that day. and you did
not even know I bad a birthday. Why
was that?"
“Because," said an urchin. "Washing
ton never told a lie." — Philadelphia

Mussels of Philippine.
During August and September as
many as 1.000 to 1.500 sacks, each con
taining nearly 200 pounds of mussels,
are dispatched every Wednesday from
Philippine alone.
Holland, Belgium
and France are the best customers of
the Philippine mussel farmers, but
quite a number of the cherished shell
fish find their way across the channel
from the Dutch beds to the Britishers'

ECONOMY IN ITALY
Roman Season the Only Time
When Real Luxury Is the Rule.
During the greater pait of the yeat
we have only the servants that tiro
necessary—my husband's valet.oue but
ler. tbe porter who stands at tbe eu
trance to tbe palace und a g.ueral
utility country boy who In the after
noon puts on a livery and acts as foot
man. Tbe women servants are a cook
a scullery maid, a laundress and two
maids besides my own personal one
This list is not as extravagant as the
same would be In America.
Wages are nothing by comparison
One can get a good lady’s maid for $10
a month, a competent butler for $10
a cook for $10, a chambermaid for $0
Their fare would seem coarse to tbe
spoiled servant of America, consisting,
as It does, chiefly of bread, soup, mac
aronl and fruit, with tea and coffee of
an Inferior grade and fresh meat once
a week. We spend nothing that we
can possibly help until the Roman sea

get an additional number of maids and
a long row of footmen (these for th“
most part young women and men from
the village of our own estate), and
both In our country villa and In our
Roman palace we open all the rooms
