A BUNGLED EXECUTION
Quebec Province Once Saw Case of a
Man Hanged Twice
Those who have been present in
court and listened to the death Min,
tepee pronounced may have, thought
Met that part of the sentence which
contained the words "to be hanged .by
the neck until you are dead" ,was
somewhat tautological. Yet everyone
who is hanged by the neck is not,
necessarily killed as the incident that
happened at Three Rivers some years
ago proves, says a writer in Beck's
Weekly, Montreal.
The execution was arranged 16 talc='
place publicly outside the town in
an open field near the river and
thousands of people had come to see
it from the neighboring village's. T'Irz
river was covered with boats and
canoes, and the space of land between
the scaffold and the river was crowd-
ed.
The execution had nothing out of
the common up tothe moment When
the drop fell. Then the rope must
have been worn for it snapped off
and left the condemned man col-
lapsed in a heap on the ground below
it. There was an immense shout
from the crowd and the man, recover•
ing his senses pushed off the cap that
had been drawn over his eyes, and
began to untie the noose about his
neck. Cries arose from the crowd:
"Run for iti" "Save yourself."
The man did not wait to be told
twice but, with the rope dangling
from his neck, made a dash for it,
and the crowd opened out to give him
Passage.
The sheriff had by this time re-
covered from the shock and remem-
bering that the law says that a con-
demned man shall be hanged by the
neck until he is dead, and that his
duty was not yet accomplished, got
on his horse and tried to gallop alter
the fugitive. Thecrowd refused him
Damage, and as the man got farther
and farther away the sheriff began
to shout: "Fifty dollars to the man
who stops him," The farther the
fugitive got away the higher grew
the figure. It was something like an
auctioneer's sale. When the sheriff
reached $126 a man was found who
was tempted by this blood money.
He pursued the fugitive onto the
river where he was trying to escape
in an oarless boat and succeeded in
eaapturing bim. Then he was brought

Dear Mr. Editor:—
Thanks for your kindness in allow-
ing me the' privilege of appealing at
this Christmas time on behalf of the
Hospital for Silk Children, Toronto.
In the 40'years of the Hospital's ex-
istence there have been treated within
ibis walls 26,108 children as 1.n -patients;
221,708 as out-patients; a grand total
et 267,871 in and out-patients.
The Hospital for Sick Children gives
a proviace-wide service, for little
patients from every section el On-
tario have sought its aid. Last
year 499 patients were admitted from
238 places outside the city of Toronto.
In 1914 there were 394 from 210 places.
Of the 2,838 fn -patients last year
1,771 were medical cases and 1,087

of the 2,838 in -patients, 284 were

Manufacture of Wood Alcohol
In the course of investigations et

York by the college of forestry at
Syracuse, it was found that the re-
moval of the tariff on grin alcohol
had hurt the market ore wood alcohol
In such a way as to make et loardly

steactive distillation of wood are char-

for fuel, in the manufacture 01 iron,
and for various' poultry and animal
foods. Acetate of lime is vied almoet
wholly in the dye industries. Wood
aloohol is used Jamey as a solvent
and for various chemical. purpeees.

When all is ready the cream sbould
be strained through a coarse strainer

cream which tniglit be present and
which would produce white specks in
the butter. Butter color can be used,
depending upon the purpose for

enough color should be added to give
the butter a "June -grass" color, a
nice golden yellow, a little inclined
to the light side rather than 'the
dark, This, of course, depend' upon
the requirement of the consumer: If
a dark yellow colored butter is pre-
ferred a drop or two more color
shduld be added, but this, of course,
will depend at all times upon the ex-
perience of the maker. The speed of
the churn should be so regulated as
to have tbe butter forming into firm
grains about the size of wheat ker-
ne19'in about thirty minutes. As soon
as thi'e occurs the buttermilk should
be drawn off and an equal amount of
clean, cold water sbould be put in.

The source of potash to be used
in the future is still uucleterm,ned as
Germany was almost the sole pro-
ducer of this va.uanle comeodity.
Scientists and manufacturers have
been making every enc.eavor to manu-
facture potash from many sources
A rock known as feldspar contains
a small percentage of potash. Sea
weed also contains a certain amount
but when the potash is manufaetered
from these various sources its price
is prohibitive. Prof. R. Harcourt, of

Only six cases of the dreaded San

have been located this year by the
provincial inspectors, according to
Prof. W. H. Brittain, of the College

work being accomplished by the En-

the Nova Scotia fruit farms practical-

ages of this pest. It is a noticeable
fact that the six eases were found on

A very cheap and yet efficient level
for the farmer to use in levelling his
land may be made by any one handy
with tools.
First, secure the plate from any in-

This plate consists of a round disk
with adjustment screws for leveling
and slots for fastening the legs. The
legs, fashioned after those used on
the ianufactured levels, may be
made from hardwood and fastened
upon the plate.
Second, secure an ordinary carpen-

period was a cup too small to contain
the wine of pleasure; it was extended '
to three days. At last it was enlarged

now been changed' back into the one
day shape, but in reality: Christmas is
much larger under our presidents than
it was under Claudian and Caligula.
It is a great midwinter period and

The story of e Alegi, as it , is given

by the evangelist Matthew, is aston-

us without preface that when Jesus

He does not tell tis bow many they
were nor of what race nor of what sta-

from the consideration with which they
were received at the court of Herod
and from the fact that they carried
treasure boxes with them that they
were persons of distinction.
The most important statement in re-
gard to them is that tbey were Ma-
glans—that is to say, disciples 'of Zero-
