Shanghai (China) papers report a
ghastly incident at a recent execution.
Just at the moment of the execution
the victim's hands nervously grasped
the garment of the executioner and
held on after decapitation, ltefore the
grip could be loosened the executioner
died of fright.
Perhaps a Sparrow I.ynehln*.
A supposed evidence of judgment and
punishment anion* birds or else an
accident was supplied recently In an
English sparrow which hung suspended
by a string from the cornice of the
great north doorway of the main build-
ing of Glrard College at Philadelphia.
The string was about a yard long, and
appeared twisted about the neck of the
bird. Just before the event came off a
sort of sparrow convention was held,
as any number of them swept and cir-
cled about the place, chattering and act-
ing very noisily. This may have been
the session of the court, for the noise
Was succeeded by a deep silence and
then the unlucky subject of attention
Was swung over the line. Prefect Geo.
W. Price, who is very much of a sci-
entist in his way, said the sparrow had
been hanged for some high crime known
only to birds, while Mr. Danenhour be-
lieves it was a plain suicide.
She Quit Then nnil There.
Mrs. Mary J. Nugent, of Shelbyville,
Ind., a washerwoman with a house full
of children, was the other morning no-
tified of the fact that she had been
granted a pension of $10 per month with
$3 000 arrearages. When the agent in-
formed Mrs. Nugent of her good luck
the old lady was standing over the
washtub, and without a word she
reached for the axe near by and
smashed the tub into a thousand pieces,
after which she sent for her neighbor
to come and get her "dirty duds," stat-
ing that she was through washing for
other people.

A X'illar or Fire by Night.
A most wonderful cloud-and-light-
tiing effect was to be seen the other
night by the residents of Boston as they
looked toward the east. A huge pillar of
clouds stood almost still, as it seemed
for half an hour, and nearly incessant
lightning illuminated it from within.
The cloud seemed fairly alive with fire.
Now a quick glow lighted up the pillar
nd set in relief the layers of white
clouds that made up the large mass.
Now a sudden flash of crooked light cut
the air, and disappearing as suddenly
as it came, left the mass of vapor dull
and gray again. It seemed like an Im-
mense forge—the flames from the char-
coal fire, thrown aloft by a sudden
breath from the bellows, cast a lurid
glare throughout the smoky shop.

of is that for which the British war de-

The story is that a workman engaged in
casting metal for the manufacture of
ordnance at the Woolwich Arsenal lost
his balance and fell Into a cauldron con- |
taining twelve tons of molten steel. The j
metal was at white heat, and the man
was utterlv consumed in less time than
it takes to'tell it. The war department
authorities held a conference, and de-
cided not to profane the dead liody hy-
ping the metal In the manufacture of
ordnance, and that mass of metal was
actually buried and a Church of l'.ng-
land clergyman read the service for the
dead over it.

away in a handbag, and, previous to

to claim it It had gone. Someone had
