Show A PEPYS AT AN EXECUTION, Punishment of Malefactor In England In Year 1663. In til early day ot public executions, It was no uncommon thing for the condemned man to be hanged on the scene of the crime, or even at hi home. Mr. Pepys attended such a spectacle on Jan. 21, 1663, for we read the following entry in hla diary: "Up, end after sending my wife to my Aunt Wrights to get a place to see Turner hanged, I to the Change, and, seeing people flock in the city, I Inquired and found that Turner was not yet banged; so I went among them to Leadenhall street, at the end of Lyme street, near where the robbery was done, and to St Mary Axe, where he lived. And there 1 got, for a shilling, to stand upon the wheel of a cart. In great pain, above an hour before the execution was done, he delaying the time by long discourses and prayers, one after another, in hopes of a reprieve; but none came, and at last was flung oft the ladder In his cloak. A comely looking man he was, and kept his countenance to the end. I was sorry to see him. It was believed there were at least 12 or 14,000 people in the street." Sanitary Sermons.

CHAPTER ONE. t The Prophets Prayer. "Kneel, John. Take off your hat, lad. Let us pray!" An old man and a boy clung like wreckage to a rock which marked the outer edge of Black Reef. The flickering light of a lantern accentuated the gloom of the night; a night famous in the annals of New England for the storm which tore the coast from Quoddy Head to Siasconset. The lanterns light revealed two figures worthy the pencil of a Hogarth. Bared to the gale, the ol-- mans scant white locks streamed back from a forehead massive and unfurrowed. Wonderful eyes of steel gray glowed with fires of fanaticism beneath dark, shadowing eyebrows scarcely touched with the rime of years. The thin lips parted in a line which suggested implacable tenacity of purpose, not halting at cruelty nor stopping at cunning. Above the mouth, the tread was that of a Greek god; below it showed the civilized savage selfish, relentless the incarnation of courage, strength and determination. . The mans frame was so broad that the legs seemed stumpy, yet Peter Burt stood six feet four at three score years and ten. His companion on this night mission to hurricane-swep- t Black Reef was a boy of eight. No fear of the storm or of the strange old man showed in the dark gray eyes of the youth. He was garbed in a tightly buttoned Jacket and a pair of home-sputrousers, securely tucked into boots. copper-toeThe ends" of a blue yarn comforter fluttered in the gale.

At last tne meat showed red In the murky water of the creek. As it came to the surface John thrust the net below.

Among the things that he cannot justify to himself is the bidding a servant to say that he is not at home when in reality he is inside his house. At the same time he is not able to receive the many visitors who call upon him, and his only resource was to give instructions that polite excuses should be given. Upon one occasion such instructions were given to a maid, an Irish girl gifted with the readiness and good wit of her nation.

Prof. Huxley. Natural Cure for Tuberculosis. Swedish doctor some fourteen or fifteen years ago succeeded, by a very crude method, in curing patients who have been given up to die. His practice was first of all to rub the patient three times a day with a towel wet in very cold water., A little later he put the patient In a tub of water at about 60 degrees, rubbing him vigorously for about a minute, and later, as the patient became better able to endure the cold water, he was plunged Into a tub full of Ice water.
