Murder wu committed by a sjl-iier tu
lb* Crimea, but uotxjJy could be louud
to carry out tbe sentence of the court
martial. It was announced tbat ?20
aud a free dljcharge would be granted
to t'*? man undertaking tbe task. At
last a man did volunteer. He was u
newcomer to tbe army. On tbe night
prior to tbe date fixed for tbe execution
they locked up the hangman lu a sta
ble to keep blm safe. In tbe morning
tbe party at tbe gallows waited, but
there was uo hangman. He bad gone
mad during the night or else he was
uow simulating madness. The officer
lu command turned to one of his cap
tains with. "Captain, you will have the
goodness to hang the prisoner!" The
captain changed countenance, but be
pulled himself together and appealed
to the sergeants with. "Which of you
will haag th* manT And to spare his
captain one of the men volunteered.
He afterward bad the satisfaction of
hogging the man who had volunteered
and failed.
Tha Way ?? Wark.
If work Fits to b? (.lone tbe only way
to escape will paralysis la to launch
oneself apoa tbe task, realizing that If
It Is difficult It U oot likely to grow
?asler and that some sort of a begin
ning must be made. "Keep tbe facul
ty of effort alive In you by a little
gratuitous exercise every day." writes
a canny psychologist In bis chapter on
?Habit" This gratuitous exercise it is
that trains tbe will to rule life and
destiny: It Is the one great secret of
success. Postponing of disagreeable
duties means laxness invading the will,
a certain slackening of all tbe mental
nature, an invasion of a paralytic tend
ency. If tbe will failed to obey at a
given moment yesterday It Is vsstly
leas likely to obey today, whereas a
daily habit of forceful inhibiting or
commanding makes for that most de
sirable of all endowments, "a com
pietely fashioned will." ? Harper's
Weekly.

The first nails were undoubtedly tbe
sharp teeth of various Animals. Tben
It Is believed pointed fragments of filnt
followed. The first manufactured metal
nails * ere of bronze. The nail with
which Jael killed Slsera was a wooden
tent pi j, probably pointed with Iron.
Bronze nails have been found In tbe
Swiss lake dwellings. In several place*
In France and In the valley of the
?Vile. t'util tbe nineteenth century Iron
nails were forged, a blacksmith beln.s
able to make only two or three dozen
a day. The first cut nails were made
by Jeremiah Wilklnsou in Rbode Island
In 1775. The first patented nail ma
chin* was by Perkins. 1795. and Its
product of 200,000 nails a day was con
sldered so enornous that some per
sons deemed tbe result due to super
natural agency.

? What would you think of a 90 per

out though, oa a ship thought to be

90 per cent On the Bulgaria and tbe

A talesman, according to English

and formerly, at any rate, this was
often done by taking any suitable per
son who was present in court. "Tales

order directing this process. Good
Plckwlcklans may remember tha*. as
only ten special jurymen were present
