HANGED BY THE NECK.
One Who l T n(lrnvont the Operation
Describe* the Sensations.
In Tlie Wide World Magazine Rich
ard Hicks, an old time actor, tells of his
narrow escape from being hanged on
the stage of the Queen’s theater, Dub
lin. He was playing the part of Achmet,
a particularly villainous character, who
after a long career of crime is, to the
general satisfaction of the audience,
captured by two British soldiers and
promptly hanged.
“One night, while struggling with
my captors, the rope slipped fvom my
shoulders and knotted itself around my
neck just as I was being hauled up!”
says Mr. Hicks. “Never shall I forget
that awful moment. Directly I felt the
tug at my neck I gave a convulsive kick
and tried to shout ‘Stop!’ but the word
could not escape from my twitching
lips. I could only make a gurgling
noise. Frantically I kicked and strug
gled. Pain there was none, strangely
enough, beyond a choking, suffocating
sensation, and I could hear the tumul
tuous applause of the audience, who
were hugely entertained with what they
imagined was my realistic acting.
“Then a terrible sensation, like mol
ten lead rushing down my spine, per
vaded my whole body, and I thought
my legs were bursting. I gave another
mighty struggle and strove—ah! how I
strove —to scream. I seemed to behold a
mighty rush of green water, and my
ears were filled with the roar of a cata
ract. I have a dim recollection of see
ing a great crimson sun shining dimly
from behind the waterfall, and I can
remember falling indefinitely through
space!
“Two days afterward I recovered con
sciousness, and then I suffered inde
scribable agony. The suffocating sen
sation still remained, but it was ac
companied by an unqnenchahle thirst,
not to mention fearful pains in my body
and limbs.”
CONJURED A TREATY.
How Ilomlln, the Mnirleinn, Avred tlie
Arab* Into SuhniiNMion.
During the French conquest of Al
geria (1830-1833) negotiations for peace
were entered npon with the sheiks of
certain Arab tribes, and a meeting for
the settlement of terms was arranged to
taka place at the French headquarters.
The French officers received their guests
with great hospitality, and after the
banquet given in their honor, at which
the utmost splendor was employed, in
order to dazzle their eyes and captivate
their simple minds, an adjournment
was made to a large hall, where M.
Houdin, the celebrated conjurer, who
had accompanied the French forces,
gave an exhibition of his skill.
They stared in open mouthed wonder
at all the tricks that were performed,
and a feeling of awe crept over them as
they witnessed the mysterious appear
ance and disappearance of various ob
jects. But what appeared to them most
marvelous was the apparent manufac
ture of cannon balls. M. Houdin passed
ronnd among them a high hat, which
they examined very carefully, but with
out suspecting anything unusual in ei
ther its make or its appearance. When
the bat was returned to him the con
jurer placed it on the floor in the mid
dle of the stage in full view of his an
dience. He then proceeded to take from
the hat cannon balls apparently with
out number, and rolled them across the
floor into the wings. With this the per
formance terminated.
The chiefs then consulted among
themselves and came to the conclusion
that it was useless to offer any opposi
tion to an army that could turn out its
ammunition in so easy a manner. They
therefore signed the required treaty and
departed to tell their friends in the
desert of the wonderful power of the
invaders. Cincinnati Enquirer.
A Whimsical Wager.
A young Austrian nobleman, who
had the reputation of being a brilliant
talker, made a wager with a clu'o friend
that during the flrHt year of his mar
riage with the daughter of a certain
count he would preserve a rigid silence
when in her presence, and, in fact,
would not speak a single word to her.
This resolution he faithfully kept; but,
owing to the fact that the wager was
not made public, some very curious con
sequences ensued.
His wife, believing him to be insane,
privately sent a brain specialist to ex
amine the taciturn gentleman. He was
on the point of being conveyed to a
sanatarinm when be disclosed the rea
son of his behavior. When the year was
up, ho claimed his wager, which was
duly paid.
Origin of Qnnrantine.
In the fourteenth century one-fourth
of the jiopulation of Europe are com
puted to have died of the bubonic,
plague, introduced from the east. The
first measures to check its spread were
adopted by the city of Venice, which
appointed in 1348 three guardians of
the public health. In 1403 Venice es
tablished a lazaret, or contagions dis
ease hospital, on a small island adjoin
ing the city. This, says Surgeon Gen
eral Walter Wyman, was the beginning
of quarantine. The word itself means
“forty” and implies 40 days, the peri
od of detention imposed on vessels at
this first Venetian quarantine.—

A Standard, Square Bale.
A special effort is being made
throughout the cotton belt to have a
standard, square cotton bale adopted.
This effort is not anew one by any
means. For several seasons it has
been made, but thus far with only
partial success. Last year, in this
state, from twelve to fifteen per cent
of the cotton press boxes were chang
ed to the standard measurement;which
is 24 by 54.
The cotton growers, particularly
those who have gins, and the cotton
ginners, do not seem to appreciate
the importance of the standard bale.
It is probable that its importance
would be appreciated if higher rail
road and ocean freights were charged
on cotton not baled in accordance
with the standard measurnment. At
the convention of the cotton ginners’
associations of Texas, held in Galves
ton the other day, a resolution was
adopted by the Galveston Maritime
Association which provides that cot
ton, in bales of greater dimensions
than the standard baje, and of less
density than 25 pounds to the cubic
foot, shall pay extra freight to the
amount of ten cents per hundred
pounds.
From this it will be seen that it has
become an important matter that the
slandard for square bales shall be
adoptad. It may cost something to
change press boxes which do not al
ready conform to the standard, but it
will pay to make the change. With
uniformity in the bales a greater num
ber of bales can be carried in cargoes,
and hence the general adoption of the
standard bale would be followed by a
reduction in freight rates.—Savannah

CHARLIE’S INFAMY.
The Brnte'a Appalling Cruelty to Hla
TfcotiKhtlena Brl<le.
There is u certain Chicago bride who
recently decided that her husband was
an nnfeeliDg brute and went home to
mother for a peculiar and unusual rea
son. Tiie mother was awakened just be
fore dawn one morning last week by a
sound of sobbing and weeping outside
her own sleeping room door. Her hor
ror and astonishment at discovering her
only daughter in the depths of apparent
desolation and despair can well be im
agined.
“Charlie was crn-n-n-el to me,”
wailed the bride of a month or there
abouts mournfully, “and so I came
home.”
“But what did Charlie do—tlie
wretch!” inquired the mother, ready
to blame the husband on general prin
ciples; To this question, however, the
bride returned no answer save bitter
weeping. Then the mother, feeling that
the case was beyond her, administered
a nerve restorative and awoke tho
bride's father.
“Now, my child,” began this indi
vidual, speaking with the authority of
one who had settled all her difficulties
from tlie time she could walk, “tell me
immediately what that wretch of a
husband of yours has done and he ahull
suffer for it whatever it is.”
The bride’s ardor cooled perceptibly.
Her voice was almost steady as she be
gan her story.
“Well,” she commenced bitterly,
her eyes flashing at the remembrance of
her wrongs, “Charlie was out very late
last night, and I thought I’d get up
and —and —say something to him—
when lie came home. I had thought
that so long as Charlie was geing to he
so late home I’d—l’d fix up my com
plexion a little. So, when Charlie got
into bed in the spare room, I just for
got everything hut him and went in
there. And—and”—bitter sobbing
again—“l forgot all about the beauty
mask I bad on and went right in with
it upon me. And”—a perfect paroxysm
of tears half drowned her words at this
point—“ Charlie must have thought I
was a ghost, and he threw a pillow at
me.”—Chicago Inter Ocean.
FIGURES WITH FINGERS.
Origin of the Homan Numeral Meth
od of t'oiintlnw.
Hold your bauds up before yon, palms
outward, thumbs at an acute angle. Be
gin on llie left. Little finger I; little
finger and ring finger II; little finger,
ring finger and middle finger HI; all
the fingers of the left hand I1II; and
the hand and thumb at an acute angle
form V. In place of the 1111 you may
use the fourth linger from the left, still
holding the thumb at an acute ungle,
and yon have IV.
Now pass to the right hand. Holding
the thumb and the hand at the same
anginas before we have VI; by using
the index and the middle finger we get
VII, while tho thumb and the three
large fingers make VIII.
Now join the two V’s made by the
thumbs, inverting one, and we have X,
or 10. Then use the X with the last lit
tle finger before it and it will give IX.
The combinations following X are ob
vious. The forefinger of the left hand,
with the thumb at' right angles, make
a perfect L; the little finger of the left
hand curved toward the thumb makes
C, the initial of centum (100), and so
on with tlie hundreds. Now join the
two thumbs with the forefingers, or
two V's inverted, and yon have the
hieroglyphics complete.—Philadelphia

III* Hair Turned Black.
There have been several instances of
a man’s hair turning from white to
black. One of the most notable perhaps
was that of an engineer in the fire de
partment of Louisville. His age was
(15, and he was on duty during a tre
mendous fire for 15 consecutive hours.
The spray was constantly flying from
the hose, and he became, in consequence
of the lowness of temperature of the
atmosphere, covered from head to foot
with ice. He wore a skullcap and a
helmet on the top of that, so that his
head was the warmest part of his body
and not at all exposed, though his eye
brows and whiskers became wet and
were'frozen stiff. The afternoon aftei
the exposure liis hair, which had be
come gray eight years before and had
for three years been white, turned per
fectly black. —Louisville Post.
A WHlliik Slave.
A pretty saying of an army officer is
reported by an exchange. He married
in 1865 the daughter of a man whose
whole heart was in the cause of the
southern negroes. The marriage has
been a very happy one. “Were yon so
much interested in tlie slavery question
when 1 knew you?” usked a college
friend, who had not seen tho officer for
30 years.
“Yes, but I didn’t talk much about
it,” was the reply. “But after I met
my wife’s father I became a strong
abolitionist, and very soon after I met
her I became a slave I“—Detroit Free
Press.
He Differed From Her.

In ancient times and among inlard
peoples the possession of a salt spring
was regarded as a special gift of the
gods. The Chaonians in Epirus had one
which flowed into a stream where there
were no fish, and the legend was that
Heracles had allowed their forefathers
to have salt instead of fish.
