A man hanged in Cork in 1767 was taken ir, head by a physi- cian, who brought him round in six hours,. and we are told the fellow had the nerve to attend a theatrical performance the same evening. Richard Johnson, hanged at Shrewsbury, October 3, 1696, obtained a promise from an under -sheriff to place him in the coffin without changing his clothes. After hanging half an hour he still showed signs of life, and on examination it was found he had wrapped cords about his body connected with nooks at the neck, which prevented the rope from doing its work. The apparatus was removed and the man hanged. effectually. `'TOMMY A.VIRINS" AT PLAY. Sports and Diversions ofthe British Soldier in C`imn. There was a time when almost the Gale diversion a British guardsman had was in getting drunk. To -day in every barracks there is a library and recreation room. The latter is supplied with several kinds of games, and in some regiments with Milani - tables. Musical and other kinds of entertain. meat are supplied by the canteens orregiment- aldrinkiugsaloons. Theseare encouraged by the authorities, who Hope they may have the effect of keeping soldiers out of the saloons that surround almost all barracks. In many regiments there is a dramatic club, and " gaffs" (theatrical entertainments) are being continually got up by the members of tem• peranee societies and others who desire to encourage recreation. On oneday of the year almost every regi• merit, no matter in what pert of the world it fs stationed, has a ineettng for athletie sports. Of these sports perhaps those that excite most interest are the obstacle races and the tug of war. To the former each regiment tries to add sonde new and ori sinal. obstactle. Competitors are compelled to run through a windsail tbroug)t barrels with the ends knocked out, through abulic' six rows of no ts, over a hurdle, under a net pegged down rather tight, over a commis. sari:.t wagon, along the top of a stretched diet with very wide mesh, the feet not being allowed, to touch the ground, over a second; wagon, nailer a windsail, under, over and again under, a pole, masts laid close, very near to each other, and finishing with a ran home. The egg and spoon races are run, in which each competitor holds in his hand at area's length a spoon containing an egg, and the man wins who gets to the goal without breaking the egl'. A laughter -provoking competition to be seen at all military sperm is the bucket race. Each of the runners carries a bucket of water on his head or shoulder. and the prize is given to the roan who comes in first and brings the fullest bucket. Anything but "sweetest sounds of pure harmony" are made by the instruments in the bandsmen's race in which each bandsman has to play an instrument while he is running. Often a pipe race ie run, during which to. bane 'pipes are filled and lighted with an ordinary match by the runners, who must finish the race withthcpipesstillalight. Other competitions frequently to be seen • are a three-legged race, a wheelbarrow race, a jockey race, a hell race and a frog race. In the wheelhat'row race each runner holds up the feet of a soldier, who uses his hands as the wheel of a barrow. In the jockey race soldiers run with drummer boys on their backs. The competitors in the bell race aro blindfolded, and he wins who first catches the man ringing a bell. Tho frog race is run by the boys of the regiment on all fours. The officers generally have a "donkey race ; and ride in costumes representing savage and civilized people. Sometimes they have a menagerie race, in which the pets of the camp, dogs, cats, hens, geese, goats and squirrels are handicapped and run, each creature field with a string by an oilieer. Thedaycloses with the award of the money prizes by the wife of one of the officers. It has been many years siitee England has furnished the champion oarsman, and if one is to be found in the future lie must, in the opinion of an observer, come from a very different condition of life from that out of which he came in the days of Renforth and Kelly. The Thames waterman has all but disappeared, like his oecnpation. The most promising seaool from which a great oars- man can be expected consists of the clerks engaged in the big warehouses along the river. .An attempt was made on Monday to swim fromFolkestone to Dover by Enoch Taylor, t professional swimmerbelonging to Yorkshire. Taylorhadhishandsand and feet tied, and inthis way attempted to accomplish a swine • of six miles. He entered the water on a flood tide at eight o'clock, in the presence of a namber cf spectators, and made slow progress for two miles, when he began to show signs of fatigue, and shortly after was taken out of water in an exhausted condit- ion. A young woman named Edith Burbridge committed suicide at Leamington on Mon- day in a most deliberate manner by drop- ping herself into a rain water barrel. A short time ago the deceased was severely censur- ed by the Leamington coroner at an inquest held upon the body of her aunt, whose death it was alleged she had caused, the jury at the time regarding it as a case of ex- treme suspicion. • While preaching at the afternoon service at Saint Canice's Cathedral, Kilkenny, on Sunday, the Rev. Canon Carleton suddenly expired. The suddenness of the event caused a profound sensation amongs t the congrega- tion, and the service was atonce suspended. It was at first thought that the rev. gentle- man had only fainted. The deceased gentleman had not been in very good health for some time past. The immediate cause of death is said to have been heart disease. Hanged Criminals Who Didn't Die. Innumerable instances of resuscitation after hanging are recorded, many of them being very remarkable. Henry 11L of Eng- land granted a pardon to a woman named Inetta de Balsham, who wassuspended from 9 o'clock of a Monday to sunrise of Thurs- day, and afterwards " came to." Dr. Plot tells of a Swiss who was hung up thirteen times without effect, on account of the pecu- liar condition of his windpipe, it having been converted into bone by disease. Anne Green, a servant girl, was hanged at Ox- ford, England, in 1650, and recovered four- teen hours afterwards under doctor's treat- ment. Mrs. Cope, who was Banged at the same place eight years later, also recovered. On September 2, 1724, Margaret Dickson was hanged at Edinburgh and recovered while being carriedtothegrave. She lived for many years afterwards, and was universally known as " Half -Hanged Maggie Dickson. A housebreaker named Smith was hanged at Tyburn in 1705. A reprieve came when he had been suspended a quarter of an hour. He was cut down, bled and revived. William Duell, hanged' in London in 1740, revived, Tragic End to an Elopement. Information has been received in Aus- tralia from Ceylon ste,tuig that Laurence M, Davidson, whOee arrest had been ordered by cable for wife desertion, had committed suicide immediately after the arrival of the German steamer Hohenzollern, on which he was passenger to Colombo. Within three hours after the receipt of this message an- other telegram gave information of the death of the woman who accompanied him. Davidson, who had been accused of obtain- ing money from a number of city tradesmen by false pretences, had entered into a clandestine marriage with Miss Ida Ayliffe, and a few weeks after that he absconded with her younger sister, Miss Maud Ayliffe now deceased. He was an adventurer of a very bad type, and it is known that he brought disgrace into many families, to which he found access owing to polished manners, good-looking exterior, unbounded ronfidence in his resources, and unscrupu- lous conduct. Davidson showed his clever- ness in the choice of the day for leaving South Australia. On the Saturday previous to his de arturehevictimised several tpades- men in North Adelaide by giving worthless cheques. The Monday following was a bank holiday, and the tradesmen therefore did not discover the fraud that had been perpetrated on them until Tuesday three days after getting the cheques. One plan of obtaining money Nrhieh he is known to have practised was to go to an insurance office and insure his life for a large amount on condition that the office gave him an order for a newspaper advertisement extending over a long period: He would then obtain commission from the newspaper proprietors for the advertisement. he had brought thein. Subsequently the in- surance office discovered that the cheque which he had banded them as the premium on the policy he had taken out was valueless, while the order they had given him for au advertisement was good, and could not be cancelled. On the Monday that Davidson left South Australia he arranged with his Wife that they should visit the theatre in the evening. The sante day the younger sister, who, it is now understood, has for some time previously bemine strangely in- fatuated with Davidso left her home, ostensibly to visit a relative. The wife went to town in order to visit the theatre, but. the husband did not meet her as arranged, and it was afterwards found that the younger sister had notvisited the relative, the parties having left the colony by the German steamer. Information was prompt- ly sent after them, and when the vessel was in Colombo harbor Davidson was told he was wanted, and shot himself dead. Miss Ayliffe, who was only partially dressed, threw her- self in a frenzy of agony upon the body of the dead man, weeping the while most piteously. Her suddenly convulsed con- dition, however, raised the suspicion of poison, and this proved tolbe only too true. The ship's doctor exerted himself to the utmost. All his efforts, however, were un- availing, for in less than two hours Miss Ayliffe was dead. Beefsteak and black coffee are 'said to have reduced a lady of 182 pounds to 140. OREMATED The Terrible Experience of a Journalist While In Loudon. In reciting the following somewhat re- markable experience I know that I am lay. ing myself open to the accusations of the incredulous and the skeptical, still, on ac- count of its unique character and because I myself remain a skeptic, I shall relate the adventure exaetly as it occurred to me. When I was studying medicine in the Scottish University of Aberdeen I formed the acquaintance of of Isidore dei Seilano, a young Italian who had also chosen the Granite City school for his studies. Our tastes were in many respects identical, and our acquaintanceship soon developed into a friendship of the firmest and most inti. mate description, I noisy say that though we have long been separated by the exigen- cies of our respective battles for life, the friendship remains to this day as cordial as ever. Dei Seilano and I had many interests in common, but none was stronger than our desire to dip into the mysteries of the sup- ernatural. We passed out of the university on the same day with our degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Master of Sur- gery, and, as we separated at the great gate of Marischal College, we promised to keep each other posted as to all our movements. Del Seilano went to his home in the vici- nity of Marseilles, where his family former- ly possessed large estates. My star led me from one quarter of the world to the other, forced me to give up thepraetice of medicine, and finally brought me over to the United States,where presently I fancied I had found my metier in the profession of journalism. lint my visits to England have been frequent, and upon the occasion of one of these flying trips about six year ago I again met my old friend, I was sitting in my room in the Grand Hotel at Charing Gross making pre- parations for my return to New York in lave days' time when a bell boy Banded isle the card of Isidoro dei Seilano. I pass aver our mutual pleasant greetings. Isidore told me he had been in London for some four months, having determined upon trying his luck as a practitioner there. He had grown into a steady, somewhat morose man, re- markably handsome, dark and stern. But his black eyes softened as we talked. of our old friendship, Presently he told me that he had continued his metaphysieal studies, Raul among other things bad become astrong advocate for cremation. He had even per- fected, and was about to patent, a crema- torium on the most approved principles. He hoped I would cone and see this new machine. He had it at his house in Harley street. Why should I not conte to spend the evening with him? Suffice to say that in addition to the feeling eternity winch exist• ed there was the newspaper mans anxiety to see something novel. It was therefore agreed that I should dine with Isidore and spend the evening with flim. I found him awaiting ine. We had an e.tcellent dinner. Raving litour cigarettes, at my host's request I followed hint into his study, there to enjoy our smoke by our- seb es and to talk over his great invention. Once comfortably seated in our big arm• chairs the light hearted manner of my friend chanced to one of serious earnest, andl at once saw that he meant to take mecom- pletely into his confidence, and would insist upon my " doing" the crematorium very thoroughly. It was a long story that he told ine of his arriving at the convietlOn that cremation was the proper mode of disposing of the dead. " I have experimented upon living and dead animals of every kind," he said suddenly, " but never upon a human being. And, before I can be certain that my ma- chine is perfect in every detail, I must do this. Moreover (and here I found that he was gradually becoming more and more serious in his manner and was gazing with growing intentness at mc,) moreover, Inman to have a living human being upon whom to experiment, and I bane come to the conclu- sion that no one could more appropriately serve me than my oldest and dearest friend. You will do me this favor will you not ?" How shall I dessribo tho sensation of horror which crept over me as I heard these words spoken with stony coldness, yet with an affectation of friendship whish positively shocked me. I was about to rise from my seat,indignant, when, with apeculiar glitter in his eye and a torward movement of his body and outstretched hand, he exclaimed : " Sit where you are! You roust do as I say ! You are the subject for my first and greatest experiment !" I sank back in my chair with a sigh of helplessness and relinquished myself to his will without a word of protest. Risng from his seat he bade me fellow him. With an uneasy sense of presentiment I rose unstead- ily to my feet and wn. passed together from the room. Up a few stairs on to a short corridor, along a passage and into a small room about twelve feet wide by eighteen feet long. The room was dark when we entered, but as Isidore touched a little wooden ]snob it was flooded with a brilliant light from several incandescent electric lamps. Along one side of the room stood a sort of trestle bed, upon which was a plank on rollers. In front of the foot of this bed was a Iarge box, apparently rade of iron, but japanned to represent oak. In another corner of the room stood a number of cells of a large ele- trie battery, and a network of wires were conducted from these to the under side of the box. "Here is my apparatus," said Dei Seil- ano. "Is it not simple? The body is placed upon this trestle; by touching a spring the doors at the end of this pretty box open, and simultaneously the plank be- gins rapidly to move forward until it is well inside. Then the doors close automatically upon the body. Next I touch this tiny knob, and in a few seconds all is over, The doors at the other end of the box open, the plank —which is of pure platinum worked with as• bestos—comes out, and upon it are lying in a little heap the ashes of the cremated being. Simple, isn't it? And beautifully construct- ed. There cannot be a failure. Now, you must take your place upon the plank !" Without a word, for I could no longer resist, I lay fiat on my back on the plank, with my feet to the doors of the cremator- ium. " Capital, capital 1" said my tormentor, "why, one would almost say you had been cremated before! Now lie perfectly still, and observe—for I want you to tell me every- thing about it when you come out on the other side !" The next moment he had touched the fatal spring, and before my eyes I saw the doors opening and the plank rapidly Moving forward. In another second I was inside the box and the doors were closed upon me with Dei Seilano's last words ringing in my ears : " Remember ! Observe ! Every- thing 1" And now came the terrible part ot my trial. I heard a little "click," and instant- ly the dark interior of the box became one flood of illumination from millions of tiny sparks from as mar y invisible points. In les:, time than it takes to writes it my cloth- ing was consumed and the sparks' were at- ASTOR IA for Infants and Children.

" You can't help ailing occasionally," she replied, as she got up to wet the bandage around her head. " Mrs. Bowser, look at me !" he said, as he struck an attitude and held one hand aloft. " When am I ever ailing ? When do you hear me complain ? Never And why is it ? Because, Mrs. Bowser—because I don't cram my stomach with Nvatennelon, buttermilk, gunadrops, custard pie, sweet: - cake, gingerale, and all that Because I don't go around with my feet sopping wet Because I know enough to come in when it rains Because I exercise a little common sense in taking care of myself !" " Youe dinner is ready." "And I'm ready for dinner. A healthy, happy person is always ready for bis meals. You won't try to get up, I suppose?" "Not now." " Well you have only etourself to blame. Yon may learn in time, but I doubt it. I'd like to find one woman with about two ounces of horse sense in her head before I die, but I don't expect to do it. Well, it itan't be helped, I suppose. The Lord made you that way, and it's no use to argue." Mr. Bowser eats his dinner, smokes his cigar and sing and whistles as if the slight- est noise didn't go through her aching bead like a bullet. It never occurs to him to fan her, wet the bandage or ask if she can t sip a cup of tea. It does occur to him, however to say about bedtime : "I'm sorry, of course, but then you must have.more sense. I'll go up to bed, and you can come when you get ready. If you are going. to kick around much, you'd better sleep in the spare room." Now and then the tables are turned. Mr. Bowser comes home to iunoh, dragging his legs after him and looking pale and scared. " What's the matter ? " asks Mrs. Bowser as soon as he steps into the house. " Got a sore throat and I feel feverish. I —I think I'm going to be siok I" She doesn't call out that it's just as she expected and declare that no husband in New Yorlt has sense enough to look out for his health. She knows he was out in a draught in his shirt.sleeves, but she doesn't even mention it. On the contrary, she remarks : " Try and eat a little something and then lie down. You'd better gargle your throat and then tie it up." "Do.you—you think it's anything serious?" he whispers as he grows paler. " I hope not, but it's best to be on the safe side. You are subject to catinsy, you know, and spinal meningitis beginsjuit this " 1 believe I'm going to die," gasps Mr. Bowser. and he grows so weak that she has to take off his coat and vest and get him on the lounge.
