A GALLOWS MYSTERY John Lee's Remarkable Experi ence on the Scaffold. FACED DEATH THREE TIMES. And Three Times the Trap, Which Had Previously Been Tested and Found In Good Working Order, Refused to Open When the Bolt Was Drawn. One of the most remarkable scenes ever witnessed on the gallows took place in England in the last century. Early on the morning of Feb. 23, ISS5, a considerable crowd of people gathered before the grim front of Ex eter prison. It was a silent crowd, shivering in the keen wind that blew around those frowning walls on that dull, misty morning. and its eyes were all bent on a fiagstaff which stood bare. They were waiting for a flag to be hoisted-the terrible black fag which should announce that justice had been done on a murderer. Inside the prison a warder stood ready, holding in his hand the cord which should hoist the hideous black drapery lying on the ground at his feet, but the signal did not come. Instead of it there arrived an excited prison officer. "The flag will not be hoisted. Lee will not be hanged today," he said. John Lee, the prisoner whose death signal that crowd had awaited, had had one of the most remarkable es capes from capital punishment record ed in our prison history. To this day it remains somewhat of a mystery how John Lee lived so many years after the events of that terrible morn Ing. "I had a dream." the wretched man wrote to his sister the day after his fearful experience on the scaffold-"I had a dream on Sunday night (the night before the day fixed for the exe cution) that the scaffold was not ready and that they had to make another. I told the officers that were on watchw over me at 6 o'clock in the morning, but ! did not think it was coming true. But it did, It was the Lord's will that I should not die yesterday at the time appointed by man. I believe what oc curred was a miracle. I was on the brink of death three times; It is my wish to die. I am tired of this world, and I am waiting for the time to come, and I hope it will not be long. I have been dead to this world three times." John Lee did not exaggerate his aw ful experience. At S in the morning of that Febru ary day he had been led from his cell to die. In what had been the coach house of the prison the gallows had been erected. Beneath was a deep pit covered by the closed doors, whicb, when the condemned man was placed in proper position, should, at a signal from the executioner, fly open, a bolt being withdrawn by an assistant pull ing a lever. The whole arrangement had been tested several times and had worked satisfactorily. But now, with John Lee standing there with the cap drawn over his face and the hangman's rope around his neck, the flap doors beneath his feet would not give way! Berry made the fatal signal, the assist ant pulled the lever, the bolt flew back, but the doors kept their place. Then -warders rushed forward and stamped with their feet upon the doors. They remained firm. Lee was led aside, and carpenters were called in to saw some of the woodwork away. Again all was ready. The clergyman once more came to the words, "In the midst of life we are in death." Again the signal was given, the bar was pulled, but the doors refused to part. John Lee stood there before them alive! Three times did that happen. For no fewer than eighteen minutes Lee stood there tasting the agony of momenta rily expected death. Then the white cap was taken from his face and the rope from around his neck, and he was led back to prison, .while the jail authorities hastily con ferred as to what should be done. A telegram was dispatched to the home secretary, Sir William Harcourt, in forming him of the extraordinary oc currence and requesting instructions. Later the undersheriff proceeded. to London to interview the secretary. "I felt," said Sir William Harcourt later in the house of commons, "that it would shock the feelings of every one if this man were called upon to again undergo the p~angs of imminent death, and I consequently signed a respite during her majesty's pleasure."-Loni don Tit-Bits. Eased His Conscience. An amusing story is related of Johns Hopkins. Honesty was evidently one of the fundamental traits of his char acter. On one occasion he was sent by hi s mother to borrow a flatiron of a :neighbor. The good neighbor gave him the flatiron end at the same time of fered him a piece of pie. "No thank you. I don't want any pie," said the red faced boy as he started home. Halfway there the pie end his conscience were too much for him. He wheeled about and knocked again at the neighbor's door, his face redder than ever. "I told you a story," hbe explained; "I did want that pie." A Last Resort.

There are certain English names for dogs that have meanings that might be given when appropriate. Alan means a hound; Ashur, black; Blanco, white; Crisptn, Curly; Duncan, brown; Julius, soft haired; Leonard, llonlike; Linus, flaxen haired; Rufus, red; Vivian, live ly; Clara, bright; C onstance, loyal; Joyce, sportive. Such names as Scud, Rover, Dart and Patter are suggestive -in themselves. Two classic names suit able for dogs are Biteou and Lixus. -Wouldn't Dance Upside Down.

New the Colors In the Window Em- - blerns Are Produced. -T hig glass globes illed with cci oted water which were once in the front windows of every drug store are not seen now as frequently as of old," said a drug clerk to a reporter. "Of course many are still in use, but in the readjustment of the window disp~lays in drug stosr,-s iiy reason of the installation of iL eetrie light they -iave in displaeed. With the old gas jet arrangement there were but two or three separate illumina tions, mostly placed behind the globes in question. "The colored contents of these globes and their chemical constituents are a mystery to most persons, and I have had ladies ask me if they contained colored perfumes. The globes are made in all sorts of fancy and elabo rate shapes and designs. Some are t costly. Their history is buried in an tiquity, but as they contain eemical compositions they were' prinarily. as they are now. the emilmIl of the Chem ist. ( "The water is filtered and beautiful ly olored by chemical admixtures aud are composed of such chemicals that they will withstand the rays of the, sun and not fade. The exquisite pale g green. which is one of the popular se lections of coloring, is a solution of nitrate of nickel, and most persons will be surprised to learn that it is derived from dissolving the common five cent nickel iiece in nitric acid. A few five cent nickel pieces dissolved in this acid will. produce enough coloring body to tinge several gallons of water and give a coloring which is most pleasing to the eyes. "The red, which is also a very bright. beautiful and permanent color and. which shows very effectively both by day and when illuminated at night. is made froim resublinmated or metallic I iodine. The blue is made from sul phate of copper.and ammonia, and the yellow is produced by an admixture of bichromate of potash and sulphuric acid. Any person can make these beautiful colorings, especially the green. but as the agds used are very power ful it is best to have them prepared by a chemist, as a drop of nitric acid on the hand will eat a hole in the flesh. "In fact, even druggists make mis takes. I remember one who tried to get a fine new color that other drug gists didn't have, so he mixed tincture of chloride of iron with antipyrin. It did, in fact, make a fine color in the globes, but when the sun's rays rested on It for a few hours explosive gases were generated, which sent the globes flying in a thousand pieces and wrecl ed the contents of the window."- d Washington Star.

The first man sentenced to be hanged for murder was a negro known as "the giant" (1641). The first record of marine signaling was a small redoubt erected in 1641 upon the eastern headland of the is land, where a flag was raised when ever a vessel arrived. The first building on the site of New York city was erected by the Dutch in the spring of 1615. It was a tiny struc ture of logs, answering the double pur pose of storehouse and fort. The first ferry to Long Island was established in 1t037. It was in the vi cnity of Peck slip. Cornelis Dircksenl, who had a farm near by, came to fer ry passengers at the sound of a horn which he hung against a tree near his skiff.-NPw York Herald. Kissing the Feet. Thme estom of kissing the feet of persons whom it was desired to honor originated with the ancients. The peo pl of orientaxl nations used to kiss the hands and feet or hems of the clothes of the persons they wished to show respect for. The ancient Egyptians got this custom from the Assyrlans, and later the Greeks adopted the habit from the Egyptians. The Romans fol lowed the Greeks, and then Pontifex Maximus had his great toe iissed by celebrities. The toe of the sultan of Turkey is kissed by subjects of high rank. Those of more lowly position are merely allowed to touch the fringe of his garment to their lIps, and the poorest elasses must be content to make a low obeisance in his presence. "Pneumonia's Deadly Work had so seriously affected my right lung," writes Mrs Fannie Connor, of Rural Route 1. Georgeton, Tenn., "that I coughed continuously night and day and the neighbors' 'prediction-con sumption-seemed inevitable, until hus band brought home a bottle of Dr. I Kings New Discovery, which in my I case proved to be the only real cougm - cure and restor-er of weak, soae lungs." When all other remedies utterly fail, yo may still win in the battle against lung- and throot troubles with New] Disovery, the real cure. Guaranteedt by The Ar-ant Co. Drug Store. 50c. and and $1.00.

The ubiquitous American tin can is proving in its way a kind of universali civilizer, since it is found doing duty i for a variety of purposes in almost every country on the face of the earth. In Japan tomato cans are utilized as flowerpots, in China salmon cans are used as soup ladles, and in the Hima- I layas painted tin cans serve as head dresses for idols. South sea belles use tin cans as hand mirrors, while Pata gonan chiefs wear them suspended about their necks as ornaments. The Eskimos use peach cans for bird traps, the bright flashing of the tin on the top of a pole attracting the curiosity of the birds so that they are induced to fly close to the hunters. A queer sort of drum was found by one explorer in the Tierra del Fuego islands made out of tin cans. In Turkey oil cans are commony used in the place of pails to carry water, or, battered out, are employed for sheathing on huts. Tin plate has been manufactured in Amer lea since 1S92, and tin cans have been made for a longer period. This indus try is now one of the most important in the world. Every month America makes enough tin cans to belt the globe if the sides were spread open. Zions IHerald. It SHORTHAND. "he System Can Be Traced to the Fifth Century B. C. Shorthand is so closely associated rith the hurry and rush of modern usiness that it is startling to think f its having been in use among the ncient Greeks and Romans. Yet there eems to be no doubt that the orations f Cicero were committed to paper ith as much skill and rapidity as the odern stenographer 2an boast. Just how old the syste'm of able -lated writing is which the anemnt rreeks. called tachygraphy it is imlPOs ible to say. Xenophon is believed to tave used it in takin.g notes of the lec ures of Socrates. which would take it t ack to the fifth century before Christ. t his is disputed by some authorities, ut there seems to be no doubt about ts use in the first century. A writer a the Chicago Tribune gives some in eresting facts about it. The development of shorthand was ue especially to Marcus Tullius Tiro. C torn in Latium In 103 B. C.. Tiro, who as a slave, was brought up with 'icero. who was somo years his junior. 'reed, he became Cicero's secretary nd in this capacity aided him greatly. n the famous trial of Catiline (63 L. C.) the stenographic rapidity of iro was at its height. In the first century before Christ a isourse of Cato Uticensis. according a Plutarch, was taken down by short and reporters. Early in the third century Anno )omino is found the term semeiograph stenographic charaeter). used by the ;reek orator, Flavius Philostratus. Origen of Alexandria (185-254 A. D.) oted his sermons down in shorthand, nd Socrates. the ecclesiastical his orian of the fourth century, said that arts of the sermons of St. John Chrys stom were preserved by the same rocess. The shorthand that they used was a orm of writing in which each word ras represented by a special sign. The etters of the alphabet, with modifica ons, connected so as to admit of ,reat rapidity of execution, formed the lements of these characters. Manilius, who was a contemporary f Cicero, Virgil and Horace. mentions t in verse. He says: n shorthand skilled, where little marks comprise Vhole words, a sentence in a single let ter lies Lnd, while the willing hand its aid af fords. ?revents the tongue to fix the falling words. The Price of Health. "The price of health in a malarious istrict is just 25c: the cost of a box of )r. King's New Life Pills," writes Ella layton, of Noland, Ark.

After Eben aluso:. a contractor, had put a new front on Janies Emmon's grocery store he suggested to William Lane. whose dry g:odAs store stood next to it. thlat he ought to make a similar imp~roveent. "How much will it cost?'' Mr. Lane asked. "Well." Eben began judicially, "a fine plate gla:s. steel frame window 'il cost you in the neighborliood of $200." "Go ahead." said Lane. When the job was tinished, says a contributor to the Boston IHerald, Eben presented a bill for .00. Lane looked t over, hitched and hemmed several times, but said nothing. "Wel," said Eben at last. "don't you think the job is worth the price?" "What's the trouble, then?" "Nothing," said Lane slowly, "only you said It would cost in the neighbor hood of $200. I was just thinking what a big neighborhood you must do your thinking in." Turkish and Persian Pipes. The Turkish hookah and the Persian argile are the most magnificent and expensive of all pipes. The tu~bes drough which the smoke is drawn are miade of leather covered with velvet, r with gold and silver among the very ealthy, richly ornamented with pre :ous stones, while the receptacle for de water is usually formed of glass andsomely cut, or engraved and gilt, >r of precious metals decorated with ~namels. The liquid in this bowl is :requently rosewater or other delicate :y perfumed distillation, adding con ;Iderably to the fragrance of the smoke. The tobacco is lighted in a -eceptacle at the summit of the pipe, wvhich is also formed of gold or silver md studded with magnificent dia onds and other gems. The tubes rary in length from five to ten yards, nd the whole paraphernalia is often borne behind a nobleman on horse back, so that by this means he can] ontinue his smoke as the inclination ~akes him. Doing Business Again. "When my friends thought I was tbout to take leave of this world, on ecount of indigestion, nervousness and reneral debility," writes A. A. Chis iolm, Treadwell, N.
