Famwrs' Review says : Boys who want to try their hands at grafting will find a wax made by this formula all that can be desir- ed in its line. It also makes a good salve for cute and sores : Take by weight four parts of rosin. two of beeswax. and one of tallow or lard. Melt together over a slow fire stirring occasionally to mix thoroughly. When melted pour into cold water and then work it like molasses candy, first greasing the hands. Ii from inaccuracy in making the right proportions of each ingredient it is found too hard, remelt and add a little more lard or tallow. If too soft add rosin. Do not attempt to graft on a cold day. No wax of proper consistency will work well when the weather is too cold. At the Farmer’s Institute recently held in Havana. Ill.. Senator Whiting gave an ad- dress on “ The Decline of Agricultural Pros. parity and the Causes Thereof." Amontl the reasons assigned were the world-wide competition of the farmer with the cheapest of all cheap labor. He said if the farmer must sell cheap he must be allowed to buy cheap. Pools and trusts caused by the pres- ent high tarifi' raised what the farmer had to buy above its normal rate. The excessive charges for transportation companies. atook- yards and elevators. the high and excessive ra‘e of interest to farmers, and the nninst workings of the State revenue laws were discussed with the argument that a reduc- tion of the tariff should be made on salt. lumber. iron, steel and other necessities of life. At the close of his address the fol- lovzinvyvas pisssed without a dissenting v_ote 3 Resolved, Thu 3 reduction of the Nations! taxes be nude on the necessities of life and thet the tax on tobac~o and whiskey be re- tained at a. source of National revenue. The most remorseless force in modern civ- a: ilization is the power of a great city to ob- literate the national characteristics of a peo- ple. London, with its fashions and follies, for example, has obliterated Scotland. as England before the rise of the modern Lon- don never did, and the Scotch. as a people. have almost ceased to exist. There is a sort of national tragedy in this change that is pathetically pointed out in the March Forum by Prof. John Stuart Blackie. of the Univer- sity of Edinburgh. who is one of the most stalwart of living Scotch scholars and writ- ers. He writes : I am sorry to state my conviction, found- ed on pretty large intercourse with my countrymen, that the spirit of national self- esteem, for which they have been noted. is suffering under a sensible decline. The causes of this lamentable process of self-ob- literation are easy to name. The powerful central attraction of the huge metropolis to which by the Union We are attached ; the Anglification of our nobility and upper ten thousand by the pomp of London residence and the glittering seductions of London life ; the spread of Episcopacy among the same classes, not so much from always religious conviction as from the double bribe which it ofl'ers of aristocratic connections and zesthe- . tical luxury ; and, more than all. the neglect of her middle schools by Scotland. which has caused the upper classes to send their hopeful progeny to Barrow and Oxford. where, if the education is not more solid. it has both a greater reputation and a higher reward; all those causes combine to gnaw ‘ at the roots of a truly national culture in Scotland, andto render the production oi men of a distinctly Scottish type, such as \Valter Scott, Lord Cockburn, and Dr. Guthrie. more and more difficult every day. To all this must he added the complete ne- glect of all patriotic traditions and national furnishing in the principal schools and uni- verfities. In the University of Edinburgh not a single professor of history exists; in the best schools, as in the fashionable sa- loons, it is rare to hear a good Scoth song ' sung: the rich store of wit and wisdom con- tained in the melodious stores of the Scot- tish people. and ennobled by the names of Burns and Scott and Tannahill and Barma- tine and such noble ladies as Mrs. Cockburn of Fairnilee, Joanna Baillie, and the Baron- ess Nairne. are flung aside in favor of the latest London. French. or German noveltv. which may tickle the itching oar, strain the ambitious throat, and coddle the sickly sentiment of the singer ; but which are utterly destitute of power to warm the blood. brace the nerve. and form the character of a patriotic Scotchman. So much easier is it to juggle a people out of its proudest herit- age by the enervating soduotions of a pseudo civilization than to spoil them of it by rude arts of conquest and oppression ; and thus it may come about in another generation or two that the Union of 1707 shall have achiev. ed what the embattled ranks of the Planta- genets at Stirling and Bannockburn tried in vainâ€"the absorption of little Scotland into big England, Samnium was swallowed up by Rome. in hrs-ml: agent? 5‘1”:'H-9 I‘ ~â€"â€" ‘HA adsâ€"sh.

At every period of the world's history there have been exceptional women of suffi- cient force of character joined to hereditary advantages who have been able to emerge from chronic suppression, but never till the Nineteenth Century have ladies been aiiow- ed to take so active an interest in the great movements which are stirring the heart of humanity. Not long since, according to Dean Swift, the average Eu iishwoman of the upper ranks was absorhe in the choice of lappets and rum-as: he ungailently oom- pared her to a mouke , “who hath more diverting tricks and is {one mischievous and expensive." Fashion has its votaries now. but there never was a time when the ladies of our ruling families were more engaged in good works of all kinds or bore 03 profes- sionaiiy _so many prizes in literature and art. They have always taken a part in person- al politics. Duchesses in olden times are said to have bought votes with kisses, now they speak on public platforms. and, giving logical reasons for the faith they profess“ seek according to their lights the welfare of the people rather than the advancement of some kinslnan. The influence of Queen Vio- toria made itself felt at once in court circles. The great English middle class has been the hardest to conquer, and is still the least re~ sponsive, so few dare walk out of the beaten path. But the reproaches heaped upon “blue stockings” and the popular narrow restriction of “ woman’s sphere" soon ap- peared ridiculous to those who knew that her Majesty's notes on politics were as shrewd as any statesman’s and that she knew more about the Poor law than most of her ministers. EFFORTS 0F EMPRESS VIOI'OBIA. Much of the success which has attended the effort to open out professional careers for women is attributed to the tact and cour- age displayed by the Empress of Germany, who, as Princess Royal of En land, interest- ed herself in this social prob em and after her marriage started a valuable institution in Berlin for technical industries. Nor were her royal sisters slow to show their philan- ‘ thropic and artistic sympathies. The work which the late Princess did at Darmstadt- Lette-Verband is a matter of history, and more or less all the Princesses assumed. as the years rolled on, a leadership in some direction ; the Princess Christian in educa tional matters. the Princess Beatrice in artis- tic and the Princess Louise fearlessly gave a practical mark of her approval of lady doctors lon before the opportunities open- inv out to t em in India 0 combining social reforms with the cure of physical pain re- ‘ moved the stigma which at first attached to the woman who ventured to think she could minister, save as a nurse, to the sick and afflicted of her own sex. The right of women to figure as society ineens had been freely conceded long before ady Palmerston's famous “ Saturday even- ings ” gave an Impetus to the successful ef- forts vhich have since followed, though few have been able to rival the wonderful tact and unfailing energy which made Cambridge House such a centre of interest. The bril- liant Lady Morgan, who achieved fame by the publication of a novel, had a small house near Albert Gate at which the leaders of fashion and wits of the day congregated, but it remained for the Baroness Burdette- Coutts to load the way in the fields of social reform. Lady Amberly,â€"the mother of the youth- ful Earl Russell who took his seat in the House of Lords this sessionâ€"was the first lady of title who appeared as an advocate of female aufl‘rage on a public platform. Now we have many speakers of note among the aristocracy. A gre it change has taken place since the venerable Countess Walde- grave addressed a meeting of village girls, and told them it was better to be neat than gaudy. ---. _ . n n A . o unnn When the Duchess of Beaufort in 1869 took the chair at an agricultural dinner and proposed the usual toasts it was regarded as an innovation without precedent. Now, we find the Duchess of Marlborough. the Coun- tess of Malmesbury and many noble ladies speaking at Primrose League meetings, and Lady Randolph Churchillâ€"an American by birthâ€"knows well how to touch the heart o'i'the British voter. I heard the Countess of Jersey a few months ago make a brilliant speech at Prince’s Hall. For more than half an hour. without the least hesitation or note of any kind. she reviewed the political aspect of the time and the duty of women in regard to it in a way few members of the sterner sex could rival, either for logical force or eloquence. DOCTORS AN D MISSIONARI ES. The encouragement given to the lady- dactor movement in India by the Countess of Dufferin and Lady Grant Duff will not only prove a boon to sick women. but will effect a revolution in Indian female life al- ‘ together. Lady Leigh is seeking the inter- ests of the working girls in our national schools, and, With the Countess of Shrews- bury, pleads for the neglected art of cock- ing. Lady Laura Ridding is at the head of a movement in Nottingham for establishing a number of evening homes for girls ; the Mission \Vomen are under the protecting wing of Lady George Hamilton. and Lady Wollerton and the beautiful Countess of Dudley are promoters of Needlewark Guilds.

The execution of malehctou ha been a serious matter of consideration for low- giveu in all nations and in all timau. Tho more burbuoua the people the more bar- barous the method. Ull Uu- | uv suvvuvu. In India, the sword for offenders of rank and the den of cobrae for maleiactors of low degree were popular. Fire. sacred to the sun, was too holy to be used. l'oison was a favorite method of inflicting death with the ancients. In Greece the hemlock, among the l’ersiansa species of upas. among the Egyptians a ground glass administered with food. were frequently used. The Romans varied their forms of capital punish- ment Inuch according to to the wise rule of the modern mikado. Roman citizens could only die by the sword. St. Paul being a Roman, was beheaded. St. Peter, an alien, was crucified. Hurling malefaotors, head- lone from the Tarpeian rock was common. A Vestal Virgin who was untrue to her vows, was, by the law of Numa. stoned to death. Tarqnin Prisons changed this to bury- ing alive. Her companion in crime was soourged to death in the forum. Later, in the days of the Caesars, criminals were often exposed to wild beasts in the arena, contri- buting amusement as well as moral instruc- tion to the masses. Torture was considered a wise adjunct to capital punishment for centuries. The rack, the cauldron, the gridiron, the scavenger’s daughter, the pincers, iron mask and scourge were employed. Breaking on the wheél was popular for a long timeâ€"the felon being fastened, with his arms and legs apart, to a huge wheel, and his bones are broken by blows from an iron bar. Malefactors were torn asunder by teams of hcrses ; they were burned at the stake, hanged, drawn. and quartered, flayed alive, boiled, broiled and roasted, served up to death in a thousand ways, each as revolting and terrible as skill- ed ingenuity could devise. 2“ __ -fl._--_ vu- .â€" ‘â€"""J -__,.. -V a , What we now reckon as minor ofi‘encee were deserving of death not two centuries ago.

Civilization has changed all this. Penal servitude and fines are adjudged for all offences not against life or the State. and only treason murder, and in some of the American States, and in some countries rage, are deemed, yorthypf dea‘th. The form of death has changed, too. Tor- ture is no longer employed. but a moons which shall he swift, and as nearly as possi- ble painless, is employed.

Between two upright slides a triangular knife, weight- ed at the upper edge. It is held in position by a catch. The victim is laid upon a slid~ ing or tilting board, securely strapped, and placed, face downward, with his neck in line with the groove. A narrow board With a semi-circular notch slides down and secures him, then the trigger is sprung and the de- scending knife does the work. Death is necessarily instantaneous. It is said by some that the ingenious doctor perished on his own machine, but there isyood reason to believe he escaped that erim joke of fate and died peacefully in bed in 1814. n ._ AL- _..:n-s.:..- L. IV“ rVI-vvnu-â€"J __ ~-_ _ I saw an execution by the guillotine in Marseilles some years ago. The victim was a young Italian, a wife-murderer. I was summoned to be at the jail at daybreak. In France the condemned felon does not know the day nor the hour appointed. This man was aroused from sleep, inioned, half dragged, half pushed, shrie ing and moaning. into the yard, bound to the tilting plank, thrust forward and killedâ€"all in four minutes. There was a great deal of blood, a litttle tremor of the limbs, one con- vulsive movement of the eyelids. In ten minutes from the time the man had been aroused from his sleep the executioner was taking the apparatus of death apart. Beheading b the sword has been a ia- vourite moth in almost all countries. I saw a head struck off by the two-handed sword in a village near Nagasaki, Japan. Both the executioner and his victim were deliberatelv cool. The latter knelt and bowed his head. The former drew his long. glittering weapon, keen as a razor, wiped it ‘with a bit of gaudy silk, took his stand, ‘ raised the sword. and with a quick drawing stroke severed the head, giving vent to a loud, hissing aspirate as he did so. The point of the weapon did not reach the ground. The executioner then removad the stains with some pieces of tissue aper, wiped the blade again with the silk, 3 eath- ed it, and strode proudly away, followed by envious eyes. The offender had, I believe, testified falsely in an examination by the tax collector. - .._A:...‘ than tax coucuws. The arrote is Worse to m notion then the guillotine, though but little blood is shed. The felon sits in a chair. To a stout post behind him are affixed two elasps of iron, which when joined encircle his neck. Through the post and the back of the collar passes a screw. When this is turned by the executioner the collar is tightened, and an iron Wedge enters the neck at the base of, the brain, dislocatin the axis, piercing the spinal cord, and pr ucin instant death. I saw a brigand thus kl led at Valencia. There was no cap over the face. When the fatal moment came I heard, or fancied I heard, the snap at the bone, and the con- tortion oi the face was ghastly. The head fell forward and the criminal was dead, but the grisly horror of the manner of his taking off haunted me for years. 77 1 â€"-â€"L-n- 0H uuuuwu luv IVI ’wuâ€"aâ€"u There are many who believe, and perhaps with reason, that executions in the future will be carried out by electricity.
