China. There have been other beheadioga for oftencea growing out of the war and for. the ordinary criminal offences, and these have lent a new interest to the subject even to foreigners resident in China, who frequently read of such punishments, but seldom witness them or hear them de- scribed. I have been so fortunate as to fall in with a distinguished. European who witnessed the legal slaughter of a number of criminals in Peking. The account he has given me of what he saw is so unlike the popular idea of the methods of justice here that 1 have written down the substance of it. " Fancy," said he, " the usual scene at one of the gates of the city at six o'clock in the morning. All the scenes peculiar to the early morning hours formed the background of the dreadful spectacle. Long lines of camels were bringing in coal; the vegetable. venders were groaning, singing, and about- ing over their heads. THE RABBLE OF MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN soldiers, beggars, and dogs, were all pour- ing in, as if the city's myriad souls had all been spending the night in the 'suburbs. A " The official on duty on the morning of which I speak, having reached the other shed, clad in all the glory of a mandarin's dress—button, necklace, breast -cloth, and all—ordered the men brought before him one by ono. The law says that in such oases the condemned men shall admit their guilt, and ask that punishment be no long- er deferred. Like almost all good law and almost all good logic in China, this regula- tion is turned into mere ceremony and pretence. The prisoners neither say nor do anything, but a man who stands behind each ouepushes him over, bumps his hemi, on the ground, and says ' Yow.' This word, or one with that soun , means, 1, want, and the presiding mandarin and er- stands it to have boenuttered by the prison. erand to mean, '1 want to be punished.' While the official ticks off the man's name upon the list before bins the man is press- ed down upon the ground, and A BED CROSS IS PAINTED ON HIS NECK. This is done in order that the right head may be fitted upon the right body after- wards, it proof of the man's death is requir- ed for official entry. "The prisoner thus painted is pulled away to the execution -ground, where the headsman is heating his swords in a great caldron of hot water. The swords are rather more like knives than swords. Eaoh is a yard in length, half an inch thick at the edge, and an inch and a half or two THE WAY THE CHINESE large rude mat shed had been erected for the prisoners near the gate, and at a dis- tance another eueh shed—set with tables in a semicircular line—had been thrown up hastily to accommodate the official who aside at the ceremony to pr with his staff and secretaries. The prisoners were being trundled out to their fate in a clumsy tumbrel. It halted, as all such vehicles do, at a wine -shop near the gate, and there their guards purchased for thein a drink Isf spirits—the last luxury or comfort they were to know on earth. The popular belief is that the spirits or wine there served to them is always drugged, and perhaps it is a fact that condemned men who are able to pay a small sum for the favor obtain a little opium or other drug with their drink, in order that they may be stupefied by the time they are made to kneel • BENEATH THE HEADSMAN SWORD. At all events the shop has been from time immemorial the place where condemned prisoners invariably atop to drink on their way to death, and quite as invariably see the cups or glasses smashed upon the ground when they have emptied themW. " hen the first mat shed was reached they were handed out of the van, and at that time I came upon them, seated under the shed, with their arms pinioned so feartully tight at the elbows that von would have thought their shoulders were dislocated. A crowd gathered in front of the shed, and the more humane among the on -lookers gave them smokes from their pipes, and sweets as well, and mr,.ty talkou with the poor fellows, some lightly, same out of curiosity to learn what men in such a plight could say for themselves and others comfortingly, out of mere humanity. Each man carried a stick of wood behind his head, and each ouch slab bore a card, upon which was written the man's name and the crime of which he had been convicted. They were VERY ORDINARY ORIMIMALS. "The Emperor had recently looked over Population of British India, According to theoensus of 1891 the popn- Iation of British India and the native States was 287,223,431 an increase of 34,000,000 in 10 yearn.

If you should weld together nine or ten of our heaviest axes, one laid beyond the other, you woutd make something like one of these kai as. The victim is laid i .h a belly and face and his legs are tied together. A long piece of whipcord is looped under the man's jaw and tied into his pigtail. So much of its free end is left that two men go off with it to a distance and pull on it with all their might, while a third one sits on the condemned man's back. The executioner' seizes a knife and stand over the victim, whose neck is seen to pull out—and out—and out. THE KNIFE FALLS, the head is severed and frequently the men who are pulling the whipcord fall back- ward and roll half over, like tumblers in a circus. The executioner picks up the head and holds it towards the mandarin, who looks at it carelessly and calmly, and makes a mark upon the tally list in front of him. I was less stolid than he, especially when, happening to glance at one of the heads, I saw it open its mouth just as it was held up to the mandarin's view, It was then placed beside the body, and the next felon was brought out and treated in the same way. "Two or three prisoners were to be strangled on this occasion, and thouga I went away twice, from sheer inability to witness their execution, I was urged back by a friend who accompanied me, and thus 1 saw enough to be able to describe that mode of punishment also. The executioner tied a short bit of whip•oord around each man's throat, and then putting a stick of wood in the slack of the cord at the back of the neck, turned the stick and tightened the cord until it was evident that it could not be made tighter. For some reason he immediately loosened the cord (in each case, others said), and then tightened it again and fastened it. The victims made no sound, but a quiver passed over their bodies, and their fingers were seen to curl, in as if their fists were being clinched. That was all. A Whistle Language. A purely waistle language, used on Gom- m Island, in the Canary Archipelago, is e sort of pendant to the drum language of Cameroon. The Gomera can carry on a conversation by means of whistling, and be understood by the person with whom he is whistling a mile off. The whistling is quite articulate and is a kind of translation of common speech into whistling,eachsyllable having its poouliar tone, so that even foreign words can be whistled. We are acquiring q g the language in .this country, When a man tells a " whopper" we convey our :sentiments by means of a whistle. Laugh Before They Weep. One of the queer customs of Pamela id shown its the regent death of the czar. When the decease of Alexander at Livadia was announced the people made merry over the ewedaion of the now ruler, And after the festivities were concluded they began mourning for the dead monarch, Children Cry for Pitcher's Cestorih► THE Elevated Platform To Basement Wells. In many eases itis desirable to have the pump in the barn basement so elevated that the water wa v t t pumped will by its own gravity SERVICEABLE PUMP PLATFORM flow into troughs located in the extreme, end of the basement, or even into apartments in the adjoining sheds or stables, Where the pumps are already located this may be accomplished by simply raising the platform a couple of feet, as shown in the sketch. Water may then be pumped into a small trough or half barrel from which it will flow into a pipe or opou V shaped trough to the point desired. This plan permits, water to be dipped from thetrough for any purpose without going to the pump, or it may be so arranged as to pump directly into the pipe, its inlet being pieced so as to be pushed out of the way when not in use, or for filling the trough at the pump. Such little devices cost but little and in the course of a year save many hours of hard labor. Business Method3 in Farming. Every crop plantod on the farm, every animal bought, and every hired man, is an investment, involving sound business judg- ment in both the planning and the manage- ment, to insure a profitable outcome, Too often Drops are planted or stock raised simply because other farmers raise them, withont regard to the cost, the market, or the adaptability to the particular farm and its equipments. When planted no ccount is kept of the expense, and not evtLeateestimate.., 12e1s,,, e. tire eaili uuG the Drop is sold as soon as harvested for what it will bring, and the crop repeated next season. While it would sometimes cost more than the crops are worth to keep a detailed set of accounts with each crop, still, a simple business like sot of farm ac- counts will furnish the data whereby the the profitableness of particular crops or stook may be closely estimated, and thus furnish a safer basis than guess work for the abandonment of the crop, 'or for changing its treatment. Many parts of the estimates made for one year or field would not answer for other years and fields. Whether accounts are kept with particular fields or crops or not, there should be an account opened with the farm, and others with the household and personal expenses. By taking stook each year it can be determined whether the farm has been profitable; whether the improvements have exceeded the repairs; whether personal pleasures have been too extravagant, and whether the household department has been economically carried on. Of course, there should be an account for every person with whom a credit business is transacted, for memory utterly fails in keeping an ac- curate record of such transactions. Treat the farm as a person, and see whether it can be credited with a fair balance of profit every new year. If farming is a business, then the keeping of farm accounts will pay. Building up Farm Fertility. Much depends upon location, condition of farm and amount of labor at command, when considering the question of the most profitable stock to build up the fertility. No one can afford to keep stock simply for the purpose of manufacturing fertility, but must study for a profit from the stock itself. If the general conditions aro favor- able we would recommend the dairy cow as the best soil renovator. The sheep will come next. More depends, however, upon the saving and proper application of the manure from our stock than upon the class of animals fed. Study to save the last possible pound of both liquids and solids in the manure pile. For an average farmer in this section it is still snore profitable to depend to quite an extent upon pastures to carry our stock through the summer. But where land is high, or the farm small and we wished to extend our operations, we can do better to house them the entire year, depending upon the larger amount of stock that can be carried in this way as well as the larger supply of fertilizers it gives in the manure pile to more than offset the additional labor. Short Furrows. The breeding of your children is of more importance than the breed of your hogs. The irrigated farm is the farm of the future. The lazy man wishes he had worked harder when harvest time comes. It doesn't take a strong man to break his own pledges. The "sweet by and by" is not likely to come to those who are continually, sour now. Success worth having is success hard won. If some people kept their characters as clean as they do their hands, this world would be better of . The power to kick is in the heel not in the head. To hear some men talk you would think that the surest way to get rioh is to curse those that are rich. A tail with the dog off is usually worth a good deal more than a dog with a tail on. A "stiff upper lip" seldom belongs to a man who has a limber tongue. The farmer may have to let his cattle starve for want of grain but the whiskey mill will keep going. Those who learn the lesson of praotical economy during these depressing times will find in 11 ample compensation for all pres- ent loss. Early rising in the morning rnakea early retiring in the owning pleasant. That man is not capable of oaring for his own Goal who is too thoughtless to care for his horses. The fruits of a suocessfui life grow on the tree of economy. Winter Painting. If there is painting to be done, the win ter is often a better time than summer.

A YQUNO PRISON R. ihonacs 8matteh4e .aG*ulti'Crttialtg Tireltse4,1Ttes A despatoh 'from Niagara Falls says:--• Chief 2oung, of the Ontario police, and Detective Day, of the G.T.R., ran down on Tuoeday the miscreant who attempted to wreck the G.T.R. mail last Thursday evening by placing three ties across the track four and a half :Hiles west of here., It will be remembered that three tramps, were seen in the looality before the train etruck the ties, they having nailed for a night's lodging at Farmer Slater's near by. The tramps were arrested- at Merritton next morning and brought hero and exami- ned, but denied being anywhere near the locality. They so impressed the author itios with their innocence that the charge was dropped, and they were sent up as vagrants for 10 days. Slater's son, the only member: of the Slater family who had seen the tramps, was positive the throe tramps were the men he had seen, and had partly suggested to the police one of the three who looked most guilty and who was the most likely one to commit the deed. The police, after sifting the tramp theory thoroughly, were positive the men bad not been seen by any other person than young Slater. They sent out after Slater and brought him to the police office, and by shrewd and careful work, young Slater being a very wily and gunning- lad, Chief Young and Detective Day wormed the confession out of him that his tramp story was a fabrication, and as soon as he made this admission. Chief Young then confronted him with the fact that he must have had a motive in telling the story to conceal something, when he made a clean breast of the whole affair, admitting he had placed the ties on the traok for the express train, but could not give any rea- son that caused him to do so, other than that he desired to see what effect the train would have on the ties in striking them and did not place them for the purpose of throwing the train off the track, as he had often placed stones on the track to see the trains run over them.

Sfe Looked Wild, at Least, as lite Danced Anal Whetted 181s Knife. History attests that immemorial civilil- zationa have been awept away by the virility of fresh young races. Rome was conquered by the barbarians. A bandfuIl of the stock of a vigorous race made the conquest of India. And when the uncon ventional West swooped down upon our eastern civilization in Montreal the other afternoon, the latter gave way in terror before it. The invasion took the form of a cowboy, a bowie knife about a foot long, and a bottle of brandy. The cowboy w.es in exuberant spirts. He danced in front of the Windsor street station; he whetted the gleaming blade of his knife upon the palm of his left hand ; he put the bottle of brandy to his mouth, and then he glanced, A GLANCE ELOQUENT 01' MUCH, at the cabmen on the stand. The latter shivered and rushed behind their cabs; the y crowd atood'spellbound; the cowboy whoop- ed, leaped in the air, flourished the knife around his head in a free andeasy manner, which may be normal enough on the plains of the Weat, but which made the teeth of every cabman on the stand chatter with terror. The mere flourishing of the knife might, perhaps, been endured;but s p, havs b b t the whet- ting of it upon the palm of the hand, the action being accompanied by a significant look at the cabstand—this e wa so full of menace that a message was despatched by the rear entrance to the policeman on duty at the station. CONSTABLE BUXTON APPEARED on the scene. He employed an admixture of tact and courage, which had its due effect. The cowboy was disarmed, and taken to the waiting room, where be pro- tested that lie had not the least intention of overwhelming civilization, but, on the contrary, was simply whetting the knife for the purpose of the bettor eating of a "baloney" sausage, with which he had pro- vided himself against this journey to New York. Whereupon the constable handed back the knife, which was soon employed in cutting immense chunks from the sau- sage. This was in the nature of anti- climax, and the crowd incontin ently pro- ceeded from fear to laughter, the reool- lection of the dancing figure and the whetted blade, giving a farcical point to the pathos of the situation.
