WAIT FOR THE HORNING.
Wait for the mornhwt—It will coma Indeed,
Ax wirrlr ax thr ni^fat hath given need.
The yearning eye*, at last, will strain their sight.
Ho more unanswered by the morning light;
J»o longer will tlwy vainly strive through tears
To pleroe the darkness of thy doubts and fears,
But, bathed In balmy dews and rays of dawn.
Will smile with rapture o'er the darkness gone. •
Wait for the morning, O thou smitten child.
Scorned, scourged and persecuted and reviled.
Athirst and famishing, none pitying thee,
Crowwd with lb" twist.-l thoma of agony—
No faintest glenm of sunlight through the dense
Infinity of gloom to lead thee thence—
Walt thou for morning; it will come indeed.
As surely aa the night hath given need.

EL DJASOUS.
“What ia the matter?” asked the major,
hearing a concert of enrees coming from
the foot of the hill on which the bordj
(fort) was built.
“Give it up,” replied I.
“Lieutenant, go and inquire the catue
of such an uproar,” 3aid* the major to a
lieutenant of chasseurs, who W3S with us.
The licutenniit departed to execute the
order of our superior.
We remained alone; the cries became
more frequent and the enrses more loud;
a second time the major asked the same
question which elicited the same answer
from me.
We had descended the rampart, and as
we approached the gate of theiiordj down
the hill we saw a body of Turcos coming.
They seemed to lie fighting among them
selves. The lientenant walked briskly
ahead of them. In a few moments he
had joined ns. He was out of hreatli.
“What Is the matter?” exclaimed the
major for the third time.
“The deuce if I know, major. Those
vermin of Turcos—native infantry—speak
a kind of charahia of which I understand
nothing.” Then turning toward me, he
pursued: “Why not go yonrself, captain?
They arc young men, and you comprehend
them. Then t he major will be acquainted
with the meaning of this bacchanal.”
“You are right, lieutenant, but it is not
worth the trouble, as in two minutes they
will be here.”
“IiCt us wait,” said the major.
As I have said, two minutes afterward
a dozen of Turcos, among them my order
ly, Mohammed Ben Brahim, entered the
bordj. They had a young Arab with
them that they kicked and cuffed, in
sulted and cursed. The major interfered.
“Stop, you pack of rascals, or I will
strangle you,” cried lie.
My orderly advanced a few steps and
placing liis hand to iiis chaichia (cap) he
answered;
“Mi lo trovi, li flsi simi dormi, el filude
cane, cl djasous fusili o mura burca. Ah
carrottia!”
“What is that fellow saying?” angrily
asked the major.
He said: “It is I who found him, he
seemed to sleep, the son of a dog, the
spy—shoot him, against the wall—place.
Alt! humbug.” 1 answered. “Si, si.
Barca, fusili el djasous, fusili,” repeated
my orderly, thoroughly frantic now.
The major took him by his belt and gave
him a jerk that caused him to roll ten
yards away from us.
Mnj. Fenech was one of the bravest
officers of our African army; just and
kind, he was highly respected and loved
by all, and immensely feared by the Arabs
to whom he showed an iron hand when it
was necessary. For the last six months
he commanded the fort iu which he had
been besieged quite awhile by the rebel
sheik, Mock-el-Knni. With acompany ol
Tnrcos and a platoon of spaliis (mounted
Turcos) I had been sent to his relief, lmt
at my arrival I found Mock-el-Kani gone,
Mnj. Fenech happy, and the villages
around the bordj in uslies.
Let us ret urn to the spy.
Imagine a beardless fellow—tall, thin,
soiled and ragged. With piercing eyes,
larger than his mouth, he looked disdain
fully on his own countrymen.
The major ordered me to interrogate
him.
“What is tliy name?” I demanded.
No answer.
“To what tribe dost thou belong?”
No answer.
Believing that perhaps lie had not
understood my Arab language, I told the
major’s chaouch (policeman) to repeat my
questions.
Three times the old Arab uttered exact
ly the words used by me without receiy
iiig any answer from the prisoner. Fin
ally, ns if this everlasting questioning was
annoying him, he made a gesture that an
swered my last query as he pointed his
forefinger to the east.
“What dost thtm want here?”
“I am looking for work.”
This incredible aswer provoked a gen
eral laugh among the Turcos.
“What,” replied I, “Uiou art looking for
work in a country in full revolt, in burned
villages, without a single inhabitant?”
“Carottia! Carottia bezeff! (humbug,
humbug plenty),” cried my orderly. He
received a tremendous kick from the
major, who said to me:
“Tell him that if he is willing to an
swer your questions I will forgive him; if
not he shall be shot.”
I translated those words to the Arab.
They produced no effect on him. He kept
the most obstinate silence.
Then the old clinouch addressed him:
“Matml (fool), do you think llie major
does not see clear? Hc>is an old monkey
that knows how to mVke faces. Thou art
an insurgent. What that is to thee avow
it and he done with it. I tell thee this
sabir (chief) with the white beard is smart
and enuning, but good. He is willing to
grant amnn (pardon) to thee.”
“Tlion art overexcited against the
French. Well, this outlaw, of Mock-cl-
Rani is not worth a Frenchman, I tell
thee. What his followers give thee, those
had dogs, for working at that trade, at
the end of which thou shalt find death?
Thou art dying of hunger and misery;
that is visible; with hs thou wilt live
well; thon wilt have something to eat
every day. Then speak. May God cause
thy face to become yellow. Dost thou
doubt the major’s projnise?”
“He is a wretch,” said the major, im
patiently.
“Tell him to hurry iip, or he shall be
shot on the spot, ”
Neither the chaonch nor I had time to
obey the major’s orders.
The spy turned his face toward us.
What a metamorphosis! This homely
face was beaming with a savage enthu
siasm, and took an expression of great
ness in which we perceived disdain, liate
and the wisV of becoming-a martyr.
“Kill me. Yes, do it. yes, I am a spy,
a djasous, and I shall not talk.”
The man comprehended the French lan
guage perfectly.
His words, pronounced with a terrible
intonation, his glances and gestures in
dicated sufficiently with what kind of
fanatic we had to deal.
An immediate punishment was needed.
The major gave orders to the lieutenant
to bring out twelve of his chasseurs from,
the barrack which was the nearest.
A most perfect silence reigned: nobody
laughed any more now.
Tile major, his lmnds behind his back,
was walking to and fro.
The spy, leaning against the wall, was
motionless, haughty, superb in his miser
able rtlgs, the face reddened by a last ray
of the sun passing tlfrough the embras
ures.
I noticed with astonishment the de
meanor of the native soldiers, ranged be
fore the prisoner. They were holding
down their heads and appeared to be
ashamed and confnseil.
My orderly, Mohammed Ben Brahim,
petrified, threw some stupid glances on
the spy captured by himself. The pris
oner had his eyes turned toward heaven.
“Sabir,” said Ahd'-el-Amond, the
chaouch, to the,major, “please allow me
to try again.”
“Tell him to ask for mercy, that will
be enough,” answered themajor. Then a
most heartrending spectacle began.
The chaouch, a very old man, had ap
proached the prisoner; his hands on-the
man’s shoulders he spoke slowly to him;
his voice had some tender and beseeching
tones. I alone among the French under
stood the Arab language and was able to
follow the conversation.
“Thou hast only a word to- say—one
only. My child* it is an offense against
God for any one to precipitate himself into
death without any necessity. Listen to
me. Young people ought to respect the
white beards. Why dost thon refuse to
, toes at me? Then wilt eae hew much 1
resemble thy father” -
The old man’s voice was trembling, his
emotion increased; he excited himself in
speaking. Two big tears were rolling
down my cheeks. I made a step toward
#ne major, who, seeing, or rather guess
ing, my intention, shook his head. The
chaonch cotinued:
..“Dost thou despise me? Dost thon see
that wound? I got it fightinffor the holy
cause under the greatest of all the Mussul
mans. Sidi el Hadji Abdel kadn (may the
blessing of God be with him). I was thy
age then. God wanted not the triumph
of his worshipers. What the illustrious
warrior for the faith was unable to do it
is not for Mock-el-Ran! to accomplish—
this proud, this pork eater, this wine
drinker, this almost Frenchman. Believe,
my child, onr hour shall come. That
is written by God, but this hoar has not
come yet.”
And that chaonch who was thus speak
ing had been over twenty years an official
of the French government and every one
considered him ns one of ns.
Again he continued:
“Now thlB word, thon shalt say it!
That engages no one. Thou art a cour-
ageons feliow. Thou hast done enough
to prove how brave thou art. Think of
thy parents. Hast thou not a family?
Then thon shalt live with me. Thou
shalt lie a beloved son to me!”
And he pressed the spy against his
breast and kissed him warmly, but im
movable as a statne, the man seemed
neither to hear him nor to see him. The
sound of some heavy and regular steps
were heard’approaching.
It was the platoon of execution.
The chaonch burst into tears; he pur
sued his entreaties.
“We are all thy friends, yes, the whole
of us. Is it not so, captain?” added he,
addressing me directly.
I nodded affirmatively.
“Then thou wilt not permit ijs to be the
witness of thy death. Thou wilt not in
flict snrli a shame on us, my son. By the
grave of Sirli Yacnb (Ix>rd Jacob) and the
sacred stone of the Kn'ba (mosque) of
El Mecca.”
Not an answer, not a word, not a move
ment, not a look.
The twelve chasseurs had fallen in line
nndcr the command of the Sergeant.
“Retire, ” said the major to the chaouch.
The old man, staggering on his legs,
said: “Sabir, mercy.”
“Did he ask for it?”
“Yes!”
“But the spy rose terrible.
“It is a lie! Death to the Rounds”
(dogs).
The sergeant gave the command.
“Aim.”
At this moment the spy’s voice re
sounded strong and piercing. He recited
“El Chclsen.”
“Chelsen la Allah, ilia Allah, Moham-
mcd. Rassoul Allah!”
(There is no God bnt God, and Mo
hammed is the prophet of God.)
A red flash and a loud report cut short
the words of the profession of faith on tho
lips of the spy.
“See, captain,” said the lieutenant to
me, “your Turcos and spahis are gone.”
I looked around, all the native soldiers <
ha<l left the place, alone the old chaouch”
had remained. His eyes, in which a
glowing fire had dried the tears, were
fixed on the corpse of the spy with a wild
expression.
The next morning seven Turcos and
three spahis had deserted, and among the
deserters was ray orderly, Mohammed Ben
Brahim (may the blessing of God be with
him).—Translated for New York Graphic

EXECUTION OF WOMEN.
Hetliods of Capital Punishment In Olden
Ti me*—Various Laws.
In the early days of England men were
too humane to execute women, hut they
drowned them. During the reign of
Ilenry III, however, a woman was
hanged, but as she did not die after being
on the gibbet for a day, they’ cut her
down and she was granted a pardon.
Adulterous women and sorceresses were
drowned or smothered in mud. Stones
were fastened to their necks to prevent
their swimming, or they were sewed up
in sacks. Sometimes they were drowned
in company with a cat, a dog and a
snake. The Anglo-Saxons drowned wo
men guilty of theft. The criminal was
thrown from the cliff or submerged. In
the Tentli century a woman was drowned
at London bridge. Women were pun
ished by drowning in Scotland. In 1599
Grissell Mathon was condemned by the
high court of Edinburgh “to be taken to
the north lock and there drowned till she
be dead.”
A memorable instance of drawing oc
curred at Bavaria, Oct. 14, 1430. Agnes
Bernaurian, wife of Duke Albert the
Pious, was dropped off the bridge of the
city of Strasburg into the Danube, by
order of her father. She appears not
to have been put into a sack, and her
limbs not to have been securely bound,
for she rose to the surface of the water
anu swam to tho shore crying “help,”
“help,” but the executioner put a long
pole into her hair and kept her down.
According to the Danish Jaws, women
were buried alive for theft, a method of
punishment not unknown in France. In
1331 Marote Duplas was scourged and
subjected to this cruel death, at Abbeville,
and in 1460 a woman named Perotte
Mauger, a notorious thief and receiver of
stolen goods was, by order of the provost
of Paris, buried alive in front of the gib
bet in that city. In ancient German his
tory we read of female criminals being
impaled"in the mud and, in comparatively
recent years, the remains of several bodies
have been found to prove the truth of
this assertion. In early England a cook
once poisoned fourteen persons. The au
thorities did not believe they had a pun-
islmient sufficiently severe for her case,
so a law was passed making her crime
punishable by being boiled to death.—
The Earth.
Disenchanted Montana Boys.
Most of the cowboys looked upon their
coming to Montana to head cattle as the
mistake of their lives. The glowing
stories of thrilling adventures and sudden
wealth of the cowboys’ life which are
common in the east are in most cases re
sponsible for their entering the guild, but
the reality is quite a different matter.
Many of the economical ones have been
enabled by their savings to return to their
eastern homes.
People who have not been through the
bad lands have but a faint conception of
the utter desolation and worthlessness of
a cowboy's home. He is roasted in sum
mer and frozen in winter. The lands can
never be used for anything but grazing,
and the distances are therefore something
immense. One peculiarity of the country
makes rapid riding a very difficult, not
to say dangerous, undertaking.- The
earth is so friable that a tiny watercourse
will speedily cut for itself a deep gully
or “coolie,” as it is called, the depth of
which when filled with snow is entirely
problematical. A horseman who rides
with a cowboy’s recklessness may sud
denly find himself at the bottom of a six
or eight foot coolie* with his horse on top
of him, and no way of getting out—if he
happens to be still olive—save tunnelling
up to the head of the stream through the
snow. Then one of your broncho’s’ fget
is as likely as not to sink suddenly two
feet down into a coyote’s hole when be is
going at a furious pace. Result: His legs
snap off like a pipe stem, and you are shot
through the air to a point far beyond, and
picked up more dead than alive. The
water is generally bitter with alkali, and
scorches your throat as your swallow it;
there is little tp sat, and that ia hard to
get,—Tooah

“He made a specialty of buckwheat
cakes, and no man in the city before or

cakes were light, yet substantial, round

greasy, and preserved just enough of the
peculiar flavor of the buckwheat. Park
er's buckwheats became famous, and he
made a very large fortune. He built a

A Monkey's Moral Sense.
Bennett had a young gibbon siamang
(hylobates syndoctytus). He had scolded
liim several times for having put various
objects out of place, and especially once
or twice for having meddled with a cer
tain piece of soap. “One morning while
busy writing,” says this traveler, “the
monkey was in the cabin. Glancing at
him, I saw the little beggar was taking
the soap. I watched him without his-be
ing aware of it. He cast from time to
time a furtive glance in my direction. I
made believe to write, and he seeing me
occupied went off with the soap in his
paw. When he was at the middle of the
cabin I spoke to him quietly without
frightening him. When he perceived
that I had seen him he retraced his steps
and put the soap nearly in the same place
from where lie had taken it.”
There was certainly something more
than instinct in this conduct. The mon
key showed clearly by his first and by
his second action that he knew he was
doing wrong. What is reason if not the
exercise of this faculty?—Henry Howard

Mrs. Langtry’s Body Servant.
Two years ago, when the Jersey Lily
visited San Francisco, her attention was
directed to a bright eyed native of Can
ton, by name Wong Afoo. She thought
that it would be a surprise to her New
York and British friends if she possessed,
among her other peculiar treasures, a Chi
nese body servant. Negotiations were
entered into between Wong Afoo’s father
and Mrs. Langtry, and the result was
that the boy entered into her service.
His father states that he allowed the boy
to go under the condition that he was to
be taught to read and write English.
How much tuition Wong Afoo received
in the rudiments of the language while
under the Lily’s motherly care is a prob
lem. It is learned that he accompanied
her cast and also to England. When the
duties of the stage required Mrs. Lang
try’s presence, Wong Afoo went to the
theatre, but in what connection his duties
were utilized in the green room Wong is
not willing to state; neither will he lift
the veil which enshrouds the Lily’s sur
roundings. The hoy, who is about 10
years of age, luis just returned to this
city, Lis father liaving written to Mrs.
Langtry to allow him to leave her em
ploy, and he is now engaged in pursuing
his studies in a far different atmosphere
ihan that in which he was accustomed to
in the Lily’s residence in New York city.

can be removed from white goods
by pouring boiling water through
them, provided that the spots have

If they have been of long standing
and refuse to disappear before this
simple treatment, dipthem in water

Transplanting Fruit Trees.
The transplanting of fruit trees is
.very simple and effective when
properly understood. Trees shou ff
never be planted in a square or round
hole, such as you dig for setting a
post. Many trees transplanted in
this way die, much to the discour
agement of the planter, who attrib
utes his failure to the insects,
drought, or anything rather than to
the manner of transplanting. A good
plan is to take a plough ana break
out the wholelength of the row each
way, checking fifteen, twenty or fif
ty feet- each as you may elect, run
ning five or six or more furiows
each way, making sure to break tne
land cs deep as you wish to set the
trees. It is best to use a two hors-
plough; then in each cheek you car.
draw out theearlh a sufficient width
and depth to suit the roots ot the
tree to be planted. Trim all oro-
ken roots smoothly and straighten
them out in full leng’hinthe hole;
cover carefully so as to get the earth
fiimly around each root, then fill
up the hole and press the
soil down ffrmly with the
foot. Not one tree iu a thousand
will die if planted this way, provid
ed the tree was all right when it
was set.
As a genera] rule, trees should be
trausjlanted to the same depth
that they stood in the nursery, or
where they were grown. Dwarf
pear trees are an exception to this
rule, and should be planted deep
enough for the union of the pear
and it- quince roots to be below the
surface of the ground, so that nat
ural roots may shoot out from the
pear in course of time, thereby con
verting the dwarf into a standard
tree.’
The object in breaking the land
each way as above advised, is in
order that the roots may have free
access to loose, mellow earth to run
into in every direction from the tree.
If only a small number of trees are
to be planted a mattock or spad
ing fork would suffice, using care
to break the ground each way sev-
