MAGNIFICENT SYRACUSL.
What In Left of the Famous Capital ot
Sicily' Athenian Empire.
There are few cities in Europe, there
Is none in Sicily, so replete with classic
al interest as the once magnificent city
ot Syracuse, against whose walls was
shattered the prowess of the brilliant
and mighty Athenian empire. Sadly
fallen, indeed, are the fortunes of the
Syracuse of to-day. The resistless
progress of devastation caused by the
action of man and of time is probably
nowhere more etfectively witnessed
than at Syracuse. The fWe suburbs
which were included within the ancient
walls have shrunk to the modern town
which covers the site of the old Oltygia,
the spot where the Corinthian advent
urers settled in 734 u. c, and from
whence rose "the greatest and fairest
of allCJreek cities." Of these four towns,
containing superb public and private
buildings, nothing.comparatively speak
ing, but a few large stones remain.
Since the time when the city was pil
laged and fired by the Saracens in S78
the ruins have wasted and molded away,
the crumbling dust being swept by the
sirocco into tho sea, and the site upon
which so many world-important actions
have taken place is now converted into
corn-fields rudely tilled, whilst here
and there a farmstead dots the lonely
and desolate expanse. The leading feat
ures of tho suburbs of Syracuse still re
main tho same, and any student of
Thucydides can easily trace for himself
all the varying movements of the great
Athenian siege. The magnificently
sheltered harbor is still, as on the mem
orable day when Nikias and his Gen
erals in tho Athenian triremes hurled
themselves with desperation against the
vessels of the Spartan Gylippus, who,
having blockaded the entrance to the
harbor with chains, held the Athenian
navy as in a vice. The two land
armies watched the engagement
from the banks, and stimulated
the combatants with loud shouts,
described by Thucydides as resembling
the surging of a dramatic chorus. How
tho Athenian power was overwhelmed,
and how, after a few days of misery,
Nikias and his blood-stained and broken
battalions surrendered, and Demos
thenes capitulated; and how the seven
thousand prisoners were taken to the
stone quarries to die a dog's death of
diseaso, hunger and thirst, are facts too
well-known to need recounting. Oddly
enough, when I first entered the har
bor of Syracuse it was occupied by a
moro powerful, though less picturesque
fleet than those of ancient Athens or of
Syracuse, viz., the Italian fleet of pon
derous black ironclads, with a horde of
waspish, spiteful torpedo boats flitting
across the blue waters of the expansive
harbor, which twenty-three centuries
before had been beaten into bloody surf
by splashing oars and the clashing of
mighty triremes. Art Journal.
PATERNAL LEGISLATION.
How Marrlagff Gifts Are Regulated by Law
la India.
A series of rules have just been issued
by the Government of India for regu
lating the marriage expenses of the
Kadya Kanbi caste in certain districts
of the liombay Presidency. Power was
given to the government to make such
rules under an act of 1870 for the pre
vention of the murder of female infants.
The rules are a curious example of the
patriarchal legislation sometimes neces
sary in Oriental coantries. Thus the
presents to be given at betrothal by the
father or guardian of the bride to the
father or guardian of the bridegroom
"shall not exceed one rupee and seven
Buparis or betelnuts." The marriage
present payable to the bridegroom's
father may be one rupee, and shall not
exceed 101 rupees, nor shall the value
of the cocoanuts distributed at the mar
riage procession exceed ten rupees.
The same limit is fixed on the value of
tho presont by the bride's matornal
relations. The payment on account of
tho ceremony when the bridegroom
touches the fringe of his mother-in-law's
dress must not go beyond two rupees,
nor shall the payment on account of
Muhl Matla, or the gift of an earthen
pot with eatables when the bridegroom's
party depart after the marriage, be more
than fl ve rupees at the outside. The
gift to bo paid at the time of the prostra
tion of the bride before her mother-in-law
is limited to seven rupees; the num
ber of dinner parties given by the bride's
family is not to be . more than five, and
the number of guests at each must not
be more than twenty-five. The mar
riage party going to the bride's village
is not to spend more than thirty rupoes.
and when the bride goes to her
husband's house with her first child
the amount to be paid to the bride
groom's friends is not to be moro than
cloven rupees, and msv be as low as
one rupee. The present to be given by
the bride's father may be as little as
one rupee, but must under no circum
stances exceed one hundred, and what
ever tho sum be it must be expended on
ornaments, which will be the wife's prop
erty othrough life and her husband's
ftfter. When the bridegroom Is Invited
to a social evening at his father-in-law's
house, the amount to be paid to
him is not to exceed two rupees, nor
shall he take with him on such oc
casions more than five men. It is es
jressly provided also that in no case
shall th father or guardian of the bride
take any money from the other on ac
count of giving his daughter." The
rules do not Interfere with the custom
ary presents of sweet-meaU on social
and ceremonial occasions. London

HOW TO DRINK MILK.
One GlassTul Give More Real Strength
Than a Barrel of Beer.
Don't swallow milk fast and in such,
big gulps. Sip it slowly. Take four
minutes at least to finish that glassful,
and don't take more than a good tea
spoonful at one Bip.
When milk goes into your stomach it
is instantly curdled. If you drink
large quantity at once, it is eurdled in
to one big mass, on the outside of which
only the juices of the stomach can work.
If you drink it in little sips, each little
sip is curdled up by itself, and the whole
glassful finally finds - itself in a loose
lump made up of little lumps, through,
around and among which the stomach's
juices may percolate and dissolve the
whole speedily and simultaneously. '
Many people, who like milk and know
its value as a strength-giver, think they
can not use it because it gives them in
digestion. Most of them could use it
freely if they would only drink it in the
way I have described, or if they would,
better still, ;drlnk it hot. Hot milk
seems to lose a good deal of its density:
you would almost think it had been
watered; and it also seems to lose much'
of its sweetness, whioh is cloying to
some appetites. "
If the poor only knew and appre
ciated the value of milk taken in this
way, I am sure there would not be so
much beer-drinking among them. There
are thousands of hard-working scrub
women, wash-women, factory girls and
even shop girls, in this city, who drink
beer with their meals because it gives
a little stimulant to their tired bodies,
and don't understand that it is only like
applying a whip to a weary horse, ' in
stead of giving him oats. If they only
knew, they would find in this simple
draught as much real strength as in' a
barrel of beer. N. Y. Tribune,
FEES TO, PHYSICIANS.
The Liberality of a Standard Oil Magnate
Other Generous Gift. ; , .
What is believed to be the largest few
ever paid to a physician in a single
case was paid by J. II, Flagler, one of
the Standard Oil kings, to Dr. G G.
Sheldon.
A dearly-beloved daughter of Mr,
Flagler, who afterward died while oruis
Ing on a yacht in southern waters about
a year ago, was lingering between life
and death. There was not more than
two or three chances out, of one hundred
that she would ever be able tp leave
her bed alive. The devoted fathai an
nounced that, if Dr."Sheldon" could ra
Ueve the suffering of his child and
aid her in recovering, he would give
him the largest fee that was ever paid
to a physician. Miss Flagler f allied
and was finally able to leave her bed,
and in the course of time was sufficient
ly strong to drive out The young
heiress to several millions lived to en
loy her great wealth for a long time
after this and Dr. Sheldon, was pre
sented with 250,000 worth of stock in
the Standard OH Company.
Dr. W. II. White, who is the family
physician of the Vanderbilt family, is
another of (the highly fortunate ;of .our
medical men. Tho- wioney in fees that
he has received from this family alone
would make him independent Dr..
White has been presented from time to
time with blocks of Vanderbilt securi
ties as an evidence of the ranitoaairVs
regard for his medical skill, Thiis the
doctor is enabled to Indulge his' hobby
of buying the most valuable kind' of
furs.
Dr, John P. Munn, who is engaged to
look after ,he health of. Jay Gould and
his family, is another fortunate physi
cian. Mr. Gould is a great man for 0on?
suiting a doctor on the slightest provo
cation, and some of his' friends wonder
that he is alive, because he takes so
much medicine. I could not learn that
Mr. Gould ever paid any extraordinary
fee, like Mr. Flagler, but a gentleman'
who saw a check from Mr. Gould to his
physician said it was for $10,000 and it
was drawn shortly after the death of
Mrs. Gould.
Mr. Gould's business associate, Mr.
Russell Sage, J hear pays his physician
by the year and Mr." ibage makes sure
that his doctor earns his salary.
Dr. Fordyce Baker is the medical at
tendant of the Astor family, and the
fees he receives from'them alone could
be divided by two and then considered
a handsome income for a first-class doc
tor in a smaller city. John Jaagb Astor
many years ago had an operation' per
formed by the late Dr. Agnew, in return
for which he presented his check for
510,000.

EVOLUTION Or" GALLOWS.
How the Regicide f tne Seventeenth
Century Were Executed.
Evidently the strong arm of a tree
served as the primitive gallows, and
such was In use at a very early period
in man's history. In the book of Esther
we read that Haman was hanged on the
tree that had been prepared for Mor
decai. In more recent times, in ancient
ballads and accounts of the gallows,
references are made to the "fatal tree,"
the "gallows tree," the "triple tree,"
"Tyburn tree." etc. A tree was not
however, always found conveniently
placed to convert it into a gallows, and
thus the introduction of the simple con
struction, consisting of two upright
posts and a transverse beam, the prin
ciple of which has not been materially
altered from its first introduction. .
The gallows at times differed in
height which was increased in accord
ance with the heinousness of the crime
of the culprit. These elevated erections
were made use of at the executions of
the regicides in the seventeenth cent
ury, and thus it was that long ladders
were required in carrying out the last
extremities of the law. - When ladders
were used the executioner mounted one,
and the culprit the other. The rope
having been adjusted to the cross-beam,
the executioner would descend and re
move his ladder, leaving the condemned
wretch on the other, engaged in his last
appeals for mercy. These prayers were
at times exceedingly prolonged, after
finishing which the miserable wretch
was expected to throw himself off the
ladder, and thus to some extent become
his own executioner.
Courage, however, would often fall at
the last moment and his prayers
would be continued for a long time.
When it was evident that the culprit
was praying against time, the execu
tioner would stealthily reach the ladder
on which he stood and overthrow it and
the body would, consequently, then be
swinging In the throbs and agonies of
death. At one period it was customary
to carry out the execution of a criminal
S near as possible to the spot where thfl
crime for which he suffered was com
mitted. All the Year Round.
