Not lo=zg ago Governor Yardaman succeeded in preventing the lynchâ€" Ing of a negro in Mississippli. But ‘there was a lynching in that state that for fiendish brutality has not yet been surpassed, even when the victims have been roasted at the stake. It occurred at Doddsvillo reâ€" certly, and theso are the curcumâ€" stances as relatel by local newsâ€" pavpers: Luther Holbert, a negro, bad a quarrel with a white man and following the usual Mississippi method, they exchanged shots, the negro escaping and the white man teinzx killed. The negro, knowing the penality for killing a white man in thai section, (led, of course, acâ€" companied by his wife, who had had no part in the quarrel. They were capiured by the mob and this is what was done to them, according to the statemsnt oi an eye witness io the Vicksburg Heraldâ€" When the two negroes were capâ€" tured they were tied to trees, and whiie the fuseral prayers were beâ€" ing prepared they were {forced to sulâ€" fer the most fiendish tortures. The blacks were forcel to noldl out their hands while ose finger at a time was chopped off. Thoe [ingers were distributed as souvenirs. The ears of the murderers were cut ofi{. Holâ€" bert was severely beaion, his skuil was Iractured and one of his eyes, krocked out with a stick, hung by, a shred from the socket. Neither the mand sor woman begzed for mercy, nor made a groan or plea. When the executioner came forw. ud to chop o‘f fingers, Holbert extsuded his hand withoul being @asked. The most exâ€" cruclating form oi punishment conâ€" slisted in the use of a large corkâ€" screw in the hands of one of the mob. This instrument was tored inâ€" to the fiest of the man and the woâ€" man, in the arms, legs and toly, and theu pulled out, the spiral learing out tbig plieces of â€" raw, quivering flesh every time it was withdrawns. After those tprtures the mutilated bodies were burned. Had this negro outraged a whire woman? Oh, no, ho had merely killed a white man who was shooting at him. His wile had committed no crime, but simply fled with her husband. Yet she was wade to share his fate, and with hm to suffer the most cruol ‘and brutal tortures the devilish ingenâ€" wity of the degraded savages could devise. The â€" Vievksburg â€" Herald truly says; "If there is any hell, and if it is tho abodo of devils,they must have turned green with envyy of the genius of their breturen oa earth." + "Whito men," the members of this mob calil themselves. They were brutal, cowardly curs, who are a disgrace to civilization, a dishonor to tiis human race. Theso misoerable savagoes doubtless regard thomâ€" selves as respoctable cltizens in their community. Perhaps they are. Then wiaat a community it must bo!

If the inspector of buildings of this city is actuated solely by a desire for the food of the whole public, he has much to earn about cement walls. Concrete houses are no novelty in Canada. Many were built half a century ago. Some ot the oldest residences in Canada are conâ€" crete, and walls are good to this day. And the concrete of those days was not to be compared for solidity, durability. and fine service with the concrete wallls of toâ€"day. In old times concrete walls were built of common lime, sand, gravel, stone and rubbish. Now we have cheap "Portiand" cement, instead of the comâ€" mon lime, which makes a wall as hard and durable as a rock. The concrete wall is the dryest wal! made. It is cool in summer and in winter no breath of cold air can get through it. An engineeer who made a study of the debris of the recent big fire in Baltimore reported that the solid concrete walls proved the most indestructible, coming through the fire better than walls of any other material. The only oviection to the concrete wall is its cheapness. It can be erected withâ€" out skilled labor, and therein is its ofâ€" fense. Almost every wellâ€"toâ€"do farmer in the country has his barn basement rolled and fioore@ with cement concreet. Many have concrete dwelling houses, and these laiter are increasing rapidly. The work is done by common laborers or farm hands, and the farmer gets the best possible wall at a very small price. But in cities opposition to the concrete wall has checked its spread to some degree, and inspectors seem to be trying their hand at the business of discouraging the "innovation." But it will not do to bar out concrete as a building material for walls simply because it is chear. That is not a good reason why ridiculous regulations should be provided to enhance the cost and disâ€" courage the use of concrete walls. The City Council will do well to consult some qualified engineer or architect. about the use of concrete walls.â€"Trade <Review, Montreal. Mrs. Macalister‘s Denial Regarding the Christian Scientist.

An interesting study of the abilâ€" ity of fish to change their color was carried on at the Woods Hall Biological Laboratory last summer. ‘The expreriment is thus described in Harper‘s Weekly; " Changing color at will is a broporty of certain mammale, and it was found that in the fishes under observation it was possible when changes of surâ€" rounding conditions were made, The fish selected for the experiment were common â€" greeh killifishes or saltâ€"water minnows (Fundulus heâ€" teroclitus) which ordinarily in dayâ€" light have a light gray color. This in the dark becomes almost black, as was demonstrated by placing the fish in a darkâ€"lined dish. If the {isk were placed in a porcelain bow! in the light it would become much paler, even though the illumination was the same. That the color was at tho control of the fish was »deâ€" monstrated by severing the spinal cord of one which had undergone the observed changes in a normal manner.

Parental Duties Can be Discharged by No Others. (Buffalo News.) The Courier well says the social orâ€" gnnizatiou can do nothing to make that ome the resort it should be. All the moâ€" thers‘ clubs and the "settlement" advice and help can do little to this end. It can only be reached by awakening in the hearts of parents the sense of their resâ€" ponsibility and their matchless opgortun- ity. This is to be done by preaching in the pulpit and in newspapers mainly. The parent who can make his boy a friend and an associate, help him witfl his studâ€" ies, give him a fecling of Eartnership in the fortunes of the houscehold, share in his discoveries, tolerate his dogmatism and encourage and join him in his sports, will not drive him to the wretched makeâ€" shift of "the corner." It is too much to say that poverty will prevent this somâ€" radeship of father or son, or mother and daughter. There would be no hope for families that are not rich if all depended on competition with the crude dazzle of the saloon and kindred resorts. $4.40 _ 5.10 Sho takes in ner left hand a small straw â€" effigy ol the faithless one, and in her right a hammer and nails. _ Walking gravely| to the eanctuary, she selects one <f the sacred trees, anpd nails the effigy securely to the trunk.
