The decision as to whether the murderer should be executed or im prisoned for life was, says the Civil and Military Gazette in describing an exe cution at Hyderabad of a Pathan who had shot his brother-in-law, as is usual, left to the murdered man's rela tives, and his wife, the sister of the murderer, voted for death. On the day for the execution there appeared in the streets a band of sweepers armed with leafy twigs, -followed by a squad of the city Arab police with fixed bayonets. Then came the criminal, dressed in new white garments, with a new halter around his neck and new ropes at tached to his arms. The ends of these ropes were held by policemen. The ordinary thing is for the con demned man to walk, but in this case he was so overcome that he had to be conveyed in a jutka. On arriving at the fatal spot the murderer was made to kneel down, while the policemen handed over charge of the cords to the execution er's attendants one of whom, seizing the end of the halter stood in front of the felon, while others held the cords pinioning his arms behind. The executioner, brandishing a broad, heavy sword, keen as a razor, in a suggestive fashion, and prancing up towards his victim asked three times in a loud voice: "Who authorizes the execution?" The chief of the city po lice on duty thrice replied: "The Amin." Then an attendant armed with a long needle pricked the condemned man in the back, causing him to start forward. At the same instant those holding the cords laid themselves back in opposite directions as in a tug-of-war contest, with the result that the wretch's necx was stretched; and, following the reply of the chieP of police, the executioner's blade de scended fair and true on the neck, severing the head completely. - Consumption in the' Navy. When a man enters the United States navy he is selected for his phy sical fitness as well as mental ability. For the reason and because the sea man's life is healthful there are few cases of chronic disease .among them. There are particularly few consump tives among the sailors. But the navy department has made arrangements for treating these according to the most scientific methods. "When a iunger,' as the sailors call him, is discovered he Is given instruc tions to proceed to Pensacola, Fla., where the sanitarium for consump tives is located," says Guy F. O'Don nell of the West Side, who was for merly in charge of the sanitarium. "This sanitarium is nothing more than an outdoor camp. It consists of rows of heavy canvas tents built on light wooden frames. The sides can be raised and lowered, as weather conditions- permit! Here the patients are given the freedom of the camp. They live out of doors, taking long walks in the warm Southern sunshine, and at night they sleep in the open .air. Milk and eggs form the principal articles of diet Very little medicine is given."
