faed the Sword and Not the it
Prior to 1483.
I am inclined to think that prior tc
1483 the sword and not the az wat
asnally employed as the weapon for
judicial decapitation and that a block
was dispensed with, the victims receiv
ing their doom "meekly kneeling opon
their knees," and in this oninion I am
fortified by the concurrence of an emi
nent clerical historian. This learned
writer agreed with me that the ax did
not become the "regulation" lethal im
plement until after the rongh and ready
"heading" of Lord Hastings on th
Tower green, when he was summarily
dispatched by order of the protector.
Gloucester,
In this instance, according to th
chroniclers, the victim's neck wt
stretched upon a piece of timber thea
in use for the repair of the adjacent
chnrch of St. Peter ad Vincula, prob
ably a "putlog," part of the scaffold
ing which, we read, "conveniently lay
in the way. " Contemporary accounts
seem to indicate that the executioner
straddled over the prone body, and from
this position I infer that the decapita
tion was effected by the tool known as
ail adz, the cutting edge of which is
at a right angle to and not in a plane
with the haft.
I may add that the only contempo
rary reference I have come across of the
use, or proposed use, of an ax and
block for inflicting capital punishment
prior to this tragedy is in one of the
Paston series of letters describing the
peril of an unfortunate captive of Jack
Cade's rebels (A. D. 1450), a generation
before Lord Hastings was so clumsily
hacked to death. Notes and Queries
American Speech.
The faults of American speech, ac
cording to an authority on the subject,
originate in the primary school. Tha
child is not taught the melodic value of
his phrase. He is allowed to use the
throat instead of the tongue, and the
flow of speech becomes, therefore, halt
ing and guttural.
"Educate your alphabet and you will
6nd your language as mellow as any of
the family of Latium, " is the advice
given. "Your i's are throaty, your m's
are too labial, your s's are too hissing,
your c'8 are not soft enough. When you
can train your scholars to emit these and
the other consonants within the pitch,
using the tongue instead of the throat
for their emission, then you will see that
for rhythm and sonority your English
language may be compared with the
Tuscan, the Roman, the Spanish and
the Provencal. ' '

New York .Telegram..
A Clever Little Doc
A curious illustration of canine intel
ligence and Its limitations was ob
served by a writer in The Outlook a
tew days ago. Passing down a street
he saw a tine Airedale terrier lying
down and with both forepaws and
muzzled nose scrubbing the surface of
an iron grating with a bone, as if to
bring it to a high state of polish. The
owner saw and explained. The grat
ing Is Just over a cellar in which the
terrier sleeps. His muzzle prevents
him from attacking bones to advan
tage by day, so he brings the bones of
his finding to the grating, hoping to
push them through and gnaw luxu
riously when unmuzzled at night. But
the little chap had but the .vaguest
ideas of the size limits of the grating,
and, as the ordinary sizes of bones go,
he must have had at least two failures
to every success. Yet, with real ter
rier ingenuity, he turned even his fan
are to account, for after vigorously
trying every hole in the grating he
would quietly stop, lick the entire
grating clean of the grease and meat
Juice rubbed off the bone, then rub off
another layer and repeat the licking.
A Little Bit of Salt.
Every child needs a little bit of sail,
and In almost every food it Is well to
put some, not only for the taste, but
for its value In digesting the food. It
is a notable fact that all animals wel
come salt occasionally, and, like hu
man beings, pine when there is a lack
of it, In Holland, some generations
ago, it is said to have been the custom
to punish erlminals by allowing no
food but bread without salt The con
sequence was the blood became de
praved, they became infested with
worms and died miserably. Blood
contains a large percentage of salt and
no one can be healthy without It An
experienced physician has stated that
if a strong solution of salt and water
be injected into the veins of a person
dying with cholera the patient will be
roused from his stupor, and occasion
ally It has led to recovery. Ledger

begs her not to punish her any more.
The mother says: "No, my dear. I
told you that I should not kiss you, and
I must keep my word."
"But mamma, mamma," says the lit
tle girl, "would It be breaking your
word if you should klsw me just once

BUTLER'S
GORY
SPEECH,
Delivered Recently co
the Populist State
Committee.
At the recent meeting of the
Populist State Committee in
Raleigh, Senator Butler made a
speech thit was the most blood
thirsty aud gory heard in North
Carolina during this decade. It
was a plea to his followers to
fight and to go into the cam
paign for gore. It was inflam
matory in the extreme, calculat
ated to incite bloodshed and a
wholesale L1.jc campaign, i
o:der that the people may redd
his ! (.jguinary language we
quote l bei"' :
"We will turn to any class of
men 'o joiu usin this campaign.
We u ill treat them all tair lam
ready to join hands with the op
ponents ol the suffrage amend
ment and say, '( ome and help
us, provided we don't have to
mortgage our soui- to you. it
we acquit ourselves this year as
we have in the past, North Car
olina will again be a Iree State
"Having entered his ngtit w
canno- forsake it We must go
forward Now even more than
theu aie t ur liberties threatened.
There is one issue and but one
and we must fight till that is
settled. That issue is whether
or not North Carolinians are free
men.
"Let us join hands with all
who will help us and wipe out
such, a conspiracy
"I am satisfied that th .-. hi '
favor or free suffrage can by
com Dining their strength in the
coining campaign, redeem the
State from the Red Shirt Gang.
"The negro question I know
confronts u and it must be set
tled, bnl e can't trust the man
who has lived on the negro for
thirty years to settle it. We've
got to settle it. We are the folks
who at heart want it settled, not
they. We want it settled so they
can no longer use it as a scare
crow. The Republicans also are
anxious for its settlement, and
they'll help to settle it in the
proper way."
"Let us join hands and De
feat forever this little gang of
Anarchist and Red Shiits who
try to take by violence that
which they cannot win by fair
means. But it takes something
more than a red shirt to scare a
Populist. In the eastern counties
in the campaigns of recent years
the Populists haven't been run
ning. They have been in more
danger there than anywhere
else, but they have stood true as
steel.
"We have got to fight and we
had as well make up our minds
to do it. I believe there are en
ough votes in tavor of free stiff1
rage to win in the campaign in
spits of their ballot box stuffing
aud red shirt lawlessness. But to
do it we have got to be on out
guard. The election law of 1894
Was wide open and I wouldn't
ask anything easier than to steal
50,000 votes under it. The new
election law is worse. But we'll
win in spite of it and of Simmons
and the red shirts.
"The Republicans are in this
fight to the death. Let us join
hands with them and help them
whip this gang out of the state.
Let us announce 10 the world
that North Carolina will no
longer be ruled by anarchists
red slirts and a little gang of
toadies men who have betray
ed everybody and everything.
"The Republicans are willing
for us to take the lead, go ahead
and hold a convention and name
a ticket. They will help us elect
it. Of course there will be some
Republicans on it, and it may
be we can find a Democrat w ho
will join in this anti-amendment
fight. There are some such
prominent Democrats and I
think is possible that one oir
more of them may offer to take
a place on the ticket."
nelson and the Span lards.
There is an amusing anecdote about
that gruff sea dog. Nelson. Two Span
ish captains came on board, with a re
quest to be allowed to "the greatest
seaman in the world. " Nelson grum
bled, but gave in and went on deck,
forgetting that "at that moment his
legs were bound up at the knees and
ankles with pieces of brown paper soak
ed in vinegar and tied cn with red
tape, "
This bad been done to allaj the irri
tation arising from mosquito bites.
Quite forgetting his attire and the ex
traordinary appearance which it pre
sented. Lord Nelson went on deck and
conducted the interview with the Span
ish captains with such perfect courtesy
that his singular appearance was quite
obliterated by the charm of hie manner,
and the Spaniards left the ship with
their high opinion of him thoroughly
confirmed.

Some One Had to Star.
The story below Is from El Diario, an
Argentine newspaper published in
Spanish. The anecdote is told of a pris
on in a provincial town In Argentina:
"An employee, whose duty it was to
Inspect them, arrived late at night at
one of them and asked a ragged
'gaucho' who opened the door where
the chief of police was.
" 'The chief, sir,' he answered, 'lives
at his farm, three or four leagues
off. He seldom comes.'
" 'And the second of police?'
" 'The second has not come for some
time, sir. The poor man has his wif
111.'
" 'And the officer of the guard ?'
" 'He has been invited to a dance.'
" 'And the gendarmes?'
" 'The gendarmes, sir, finish their
duty at 6 p. m. and don't return till
next day.'
" 'But this is a scandal! There is no
body here to explain things. And you?
Who are you?'
" 'I am the prisoner., sir.' "
The whole thing reads like an inci
dent from a comic opera. But it is a
perfectly literal translation from the
paper mentioned-

oneef those big fellows, and they en

club while the game was on. He had s

and another fellow sitting in tbe game
and he sashays up, pert like, and says:
" 'Well, gentlemen, any objection U

" 'No,' says the players, cheerful

Hla Draft.
A Methodist minister visited the
Queen lane pumping station the other
day. When he reached the engine room,
the engineer said: "What I'm proud
est of here is my draft. Here she Is
Look at her. "
He raised a trapdoor in tbe floor, dis
covering a black hole about a foot
square, and the minister looked in ea
gerly. Nothing whatever was to be seen,
but a tremendous draft sucked in his
silk hat.
"Ha, ha, ha!" shouted the engineer
Then he continued excitedly: "Now
you are performing an interesting ex
periment! Nothing could demonstrate
better the excellence of this draft. Just
watch that skyscraper of a stack
there."
He pointed to the lofty stack, and
even as he spoke the silk hat shot
straight up out of it for 50 feet or so,
and then, like a large black bird, sailed
slowly away down the wind.
"Goodby, my friend," said the min
ister. "This has been, indeed, a grand
experiment, and I thank yon for it.
My property, let us hope, will prove
undamaged." He then scaled a high
barbed wire fence and ran lightly over

considered necessary for the occasion
At last she evolved the following strange
mixture, "Middling well, sir; some of

mend."

Stale Bread.
All bakers, wholesale and retail, seek
to produce at their several bakings
through the day only so much as may
be required to supply the wants of their
trade, but in making sure to provide
enough there is likely to be some left
over to get stale. There is some demand
for stale bread for household uses for
making toast and for cooking purposes
but tbe demand is limited. Such stale
bread as may remain unsold in this
manner is never wasted; it is sold to
farmers and market gardeners, who
drive into the city with produce to sell
and who buy more or less supplies here
to carry back to feed steck. When final

Lincoln and the Hair Heatorer.
Here is a story of President I.iucoln
frm the late Judge Carter, who was
a member of cougross frm Cleveland
during the war and one of Mr. Lin
coln's most intimate friends. It re
lates to a Quaker philanthropist from
Philadelphia who did not have a hair
on his head, but took .a great interest
in public affairs and was constantly
calling at the White House lu behalf
of somebody or other who happen?
to be in trouble and took up 11 great
deal of Mr. Lincoln's time. The pn si
dent treated him with great courtesy,
although his parWBca was frequently
tried. One day when the philanthro
pist was particularly verbose and per
sistent and refused to depart, although

The Power of the Whale.
If the whale knew its own power, It
could easily destroy all the machinery
which the art of man could devise for
catching him. It would only be neces
sary for him to swim on the surface In
a straight line In order to break the
thickest rope, but Instead, on being
struck by the harpoon, be obeys a nat
ural Instinct, which, In tills Instance,
betrays him to his death.
Not having au air bladder, he 0111
sink to the lowest depths of the ocean,
and, mistaking the harpoon for the
teeth of a sword fish, or a shark, he in
stantly descends, this being his milli
ner of freeing himself from thete ene
mies, who cannot bear the pressure of
a deep ocean, and from descending
and ascending in small space he thus
puts himself in the power of the
whaler.
If we include the pressure of the
atmosphere, a body at the depth of 100
feet would sustain that of GO pounds
on the square Inch, while one at 4,000
?eet, a depth by no means consider
able, would be exposed to a pressure of
1,830 pounds. We need not. therefore,
feel surprised that ou the foundering
of a ship at sea, though its timbers
part, not a spar floats to the surface,
for if the hull has sunk to a great
depth all that is porous Is penetrated
with water or Is greatly compressed.
