matter of stature, or form or coloring. It is
the ability to create a certain impression,
which is more or less facilitated by sundry
personal advantages. Alew of the daughters
of 'Eve are clever enough to be beautiful by
sheer Nolition ; With others it is a more
complicated process. Some wown---I say

` kr. . James Berri, ex-hingman, . as he -
style ° himself,- delivered' two of his lectures •
in the Waterloo Rooms, Gianoiv, on the
21st and 22nd March, and -. drew con-
siderable audiences, 14arning from a hand- .

Berry, who ;Teaks with ".iiestroe$ York- =
shire intonation, wisely pyefaced his "Iillarhe -
as .follows : ' •
"The position in vv• hich- I appear before
you requires a little -explanation,'beeause it
is the -;first time an eetecutioner 'ever -ark- -
peered . before .the public to advocate the'
abolition of capital punishment." in the-,
course of ;a:somewhat !discuraive and eon- -
versational lecture he fan over in -detail
many -of the- scenes' in , connection with
recent executions in various parts of the
United. Kingdom' acmes in the condemned
sell, chats withthe .felons, bringing Ott -.
strongly the fact that a man Who had once
-suffered the horrore of penal servitude never.
'fails to express himself' as being thankful he
was sentenced to be hanged rather than to
be sent back to the Liao. Few criminals,
he avers, would prefer a seoonel term of
penal servitude if they had theoleo of the
'gallov;s: This fact, coupled ' h the exe •
perience that capital' pudishmen is no de- -
terrent :to • crime—there being now
more murders in the country than
ever—has ' mainly, . influenced him,
He gives as a proof this statement a pub-
lished Hat of persona executed since the year,
160.6, and when the executienet to; what are
, now petty offences are eliminated it is seen- -
t that the ratio of capital ,offencea has been
largely on the Increase.
Mr. Berry, however, is not an abolitionist:
only, he has a substitute for what he would .
•do away with, .and, if criminals were con-
sulted it is just a question if they would
agree with him. . He,said : "If a man •kille -
his Wife, probably in.* drunken fit, I would
not hang him,I would.give him twelve
years' penal servitude, encl every year, on
the anniversary of the crime, I Would -tie
him neiand give him a dozenlashes withthe
cat, jut to keep the memory of his crime .
green. ., Nothing appealsto these people
like a bit of the belt-tbinker. In this way
the brithinal has always something to look
forward to." _ ' •
. Thist.is how a hangnean jokes. Mr. Berry
poses as being thoroughly conscientious in
his -new Work, and regrotadoe'Plythat ever..
he undertook euah dirty work. He s_saye -
"it never was worth .xnore than R,r5 a week,
and it kilted io father, my mother and my
brother with shame e and my wife, whose -
hair was black as the raven before I became •
executioner, is now white headed, all
through it.. If I could only undo what I
have done I would give my ritht hand from
Of my body. If the Queen herself' woulde
give me the Kohinooe or go -down on her
banded knees / would not go back to the
scaffold again. - INieve me I never gob a
good night's seep ali - the time—unless, in-
deed, I had gob some of your good Scotch''
whiskey in me. Nearly all oar hangmen
have taken to drink. I never eould hang .
anybody myself unless I had about half a-,
gilt otbrandy in me, and then, why I could
have hanged the governor himself..' •
Berry has a very poor opinion of jarymen,
and says "they act very stupidly on most
occasions, convicting men and causing them
to be put to death when no such thing.
Should be done. / wonder ila'y we keep on
sending - our missionaries and our money
abroad -when a first-rate field lies open at
our own door . for the conversion of jury-
men." The lecture was. followed by a
eeries of limelight' views depicting very
vividly convict life inthe various penal
'pristine in England. The tory�f the dull,
dreary, toilsome lives of cur unfortunate

Of Course he spoke in a tOne• of worehipful

up. "Yes," said he, "we got that in Hol-

inapiration. transmitted with proud., affec-

tion and from age to. age. If- you want to

round hira;". as they say—no matter Who he
may be, old colonel or brand new private,
you have only to show some knowledge of
the regiment's history and a becoming

NET THERM BE LIGHT..
Why the Ceiling of a Room Should Never he
Frescoed.
The lighting of a room is oomparatively
easy jf t,he walls are light; almost impos-
sible, if they are dark. Recent experiments .
by an erpert are said to show' that with --
different decorations a room would be
equally llghted by the following candle-
power: •lack cloth, 100; dark brown
paper, 87 -blue paper, 72; clean yellow
paint, 60 lean wood, 60; dirty. wood, 80;
'cartridge paper, 20 • whitewash, 15. Only
about one-sixth illimination is necessary
for the whitewashed room as for the same
ro-om papered in dark brown) An English
artist, dismissing the same I
estion says
•that the ceiling of a room; no matter how
elegarkshould never be papered or fres-
coed, but left pure white: Pictures can't -
well be seen overhead, and are decidedly enif
of place there.—.New York Recorder.
