Ina criminal trial the defense attempted
'oprove that the prosecuting witness was
not OF sound mind, and his land lady was
put on the stand. She testified that she
did not believe him wholly sound in q
mental point of view, from the fact that
be had neglected to pay his board bill of
late, and this, in her opinion, was an
evidence of an distracted intellect. Be-
sides this, he had paid fortune teller
Sl,5o to enlighten him upon future
events. The prosecution then proved
that some of the best intellect in the
country patronized fortune tellers, and
that failing to pay board bill was con-
elusive evidence of sound mind. The
Judge concurred in his view, and ordered
the defendant to appear for sentence.

BoKHARA, the capital of Turkistap,
which Russia wishes to possess, boasts
Of being the most religious and most
learned city in the world. 1t contains
365 mosques, one for each day in the
year. II also has a hundred colleges,
which receive students from every part
Of Mohammedan Asia. Although the
teachings of the Koran are law. and not.
withstanding it teaches ''every believer
is free, still slavery exists there in the
worst form; very large proportion OF
the slaves being Mohammedans. The
inhabitants of Turkistan reconcile this
inconsistency by showing that they
themselves are entirely orthodox, while
their slaves, who are taken from other
countries, are wanting in some essential
points that constitutes the true faith of
the great prophet. The slaves do all the
work, and are subject to cruelties with
out a parallel in any time or country.
The price OF adult male slaves in their
prime is generally from 500 to $50,
but after victory over some neighbor-
ing nation man may often be bought
for $40. The country, in respect to eli
mate and production, is represented as
little short of an earthly Paradise.
