The decision as to whether the mur derer should be executed or imprison- ed for life was, says The Civil and Military Gazette in describing an exe- cution at Hyderabad of a Pathan who had shot his brother-in-law, as is us- ual, left to the murdered man's rela tives, and his widow, the sister of the murderer, voted for his death. On the day for the execution there appeared in the streets a band of be armed with leafy twigs, fol- lo by a squad of the city Arab police with fixed bayonets. Then came the criminal, dressed in new white gang with a new halter around is neck and new ropes attached to his arms. The ends of these were held by policemen. The ordin- ary thing is for the condemned man to walk, but in this case he was so overcome that he had to be conveyed in a jutka. "On arriving at the fatal spot the murderer was made to alight and kneel down, while the policemen handed over charge of the cords to the executioner's attendants, one of whom, seizing the end of the halter, stood in front of the felon, while oth- era held the cords pinioning the arms behind. The executioner, brandishing a broad, heavy sword, keen as a razor, in a suggestive fashion, and prancing up towards his victim ask- ed three times in a loud voice: "Who authorizes the execution?" The chief of the city police on duty thrice re- plied: "The Amin." Then an attendant armed with a long needle pricked the condemned man in the back, causing him to sart forward. At the same instant those holding the cords laid themselves back in opposité directions as in a tug-of-war contest, with the result that the wretch's neck was stretched; and, following the reply of the chief of police, the executioner's blade de- scended fair and true on the neck, severing the head completely. Quaint Verses On Tomb of Mariner. The destruction by fire of the his- toric and beautiful Abbey of Selby not only deprives Yorkshire of its most perfect monastic church, but robs the country of a national relic of surpass- ing interest. Few churches possess the architectural interest of Selby Abbey, It owes its foundation in 1068 to Wil- liam the Conqueror, whose son Henry, afterwards Henry I., is traditionally supposed to have been born in Selby, | One of the most curious epitaphs in the 'Abbey of Selby was in the reredos on the east side. It read: "Tho' Boreas with his blasts, Has tos't me to and fro, Yet by the handiwork of God I'm here enclosed below. "And in this Silent Bay I lie With many of our Fleet, Until the day that I set sail My Admiral Christ to meet." John Johnson, Master and Mariner, 1737. Blustering Australia's Caves. The Narracoote caves, in south Aus- tralia, are situated in the southeast ern portion of the state, the principal chamber, known as the "big cave," with its magnificent profusion of heau- tiful stalactites and stalagmites, form- ing a dazzling spectacle when illum- inated by the magnesium light. In a second chamber, or eave, nature has been' prodigal of the mystical orna- ment with which the whole place abounds There are pillars so finely formed and covered with such dainty trellis work, curious drippings of lime reatineg such wonderful masses of love. ly scroll work, that the eye is bewild- ered with the extent and rarity of the adornment. It is like a palace of ice, with a rich profusion of frozen silvery cascades and fountains all around. Western Australia possesses also a couple of extensive cave systems which fairly rival those of New South Wales, Queensland and South Aus- tralia. A Poet Physician, Hearing of Dr. Goldsmith's great humanity, a poor woman, who believ- ed him to be a physician, once wrote to him begging him to prescribe for her husband, who had lost his appe- tite and was altogether in a very sad state. The kind hearted poet immedi- ately went to see her and after some talk with the man found him almost overwhelmed with sickness and pov- ety. "You shall hear from me in an hour," said the doctor on leaving, "and I shall send you some pills which T am sure will do you good." Before the tim# was up Gold- smith"s servant brought the poor woman a small box, which on being opened was found to contain 10 guin- eas, with the following directions: "To be used as necessities require. Be patient and of good heart." How Servia Dines. Jable manners amount to very little among the Servians. There is a per- fect babel of conversation, the band shrieks and groans and wails, and amid the din the waiters hurry hither and thither. Some aggressive looking Servian, with a waist belt full of pis- tols and knives, will swagger cere- moniously up and down the room. e BAD HAND WRITING JULES JANIN WOULD RATH- | ER REWRITE.

Byron's handwriting was a mere scrawl. His additions in his proofs often exceeded in volume the original copy. To one of his poems which con- tained only 400 lines in the original 1,000 lines were added in the proots. One day a distressed com tor aj peared at the house of Jules Janin and besought him to decipher some pages of his own manuscript. Janin replied that he would rather rewrite than attempt to read over what he had onge written. Few printers could read the copy of | Balzac, and those who could invarjab- ly made a strict agreement with their employer that they would be required to work at it only one hour at a time. Even after the hieroglyphics had been translatéd into print the proof sheets came back more illegible than the original copy. Vhile having his house repaired Ru- fus Choate h romised to vend to the builder the model for a carved mantel- iece. Failing to obtain exactly the ind of mantelpiece that he wanted, Choate wrote to his workman to that effect.

Forth- with he set to work to fashion what would have been the most original mantelpiece ever made. Lord Grey's Experiences. 8t. James' Budget, upon the ocea- sion of Lord Grey's fifty-fifth birthday just passed, recalled some events in is life which are not generally known to Canadians, It says: "It was in Rhodesia, it may ba remembered, that Lord Grey had + first experience in administrative wo. «. He was natural. ly somewhat overshadowed there by Mr. Cecil Rhoded, and the stormy times following the Matabele rising were not calculated to show off, the abilities of such a man to the best advantage. - His friendship with Mr. Rhodes continued until the last, and he is one of the trustees of the will. At home Lord Grey is best known for his strenuous work in the direction of social reform; he has been a strong advocate for tegaperance public-houses find a co-partnership between worker and employer "Lord Grey had a curious electoral experience swhen he contested South Northumberland in 1878 as a Liberal le was opposed by Mr. Edward Rid- ley, and both candidates polled the game number of votes. The returning officer refused to give a casting vote, and the two politicians accordingly appeared in the House to take the oath. A scrutiny was then ordered, and aa a result the seat went to Mr. Ridley. Lord Grey seceded from the Liberal Party over the Home Rule question." Lover's Curious Muse. After reading lurid literature of marvelous escapades a youth named Bracegirdle, aged nineteen, living in Great Western street, Moss Side, Man- chester, called at the house of his sweetheart during her temporary ab- sence on a Bunday, bound himself to a chair, fastened his feet, gagged his mouth with a blouse, and tied his hands, Bhe discovered him in this condition and cut him free. He told her two men had entered the house and broken open the penny-in-the-slot gas meter, and how a with them ended by him being overpowered and bound to, the chair, Bracegirdle subsequently told a de- tective he invented the story and stole the money to find out whether his young lady loved him or not.
