A HORRIBLE PUNIsHMENT.-The Per-
sian government inflicts terrible punish
ment upon robbers who are captured by
the authorities. Barbarous expedients
are resorted to in order to brighten them
from their illegitimate calling. Of fifty
who were recently captured, twenty-three
had their threats cut. Others were cru
CITED, being nailed to the wall of the
town by their hands and feet, and then
left to perish slowly of exhaustion and
starvation. Others again were buried
alive in pits of brick-work, in which they
were placed erect, with their heads just
above ground. Pinioned and naked, the
robbers were placed in these short, open
columns of brick-work; and a white
plaster, not unlike plaster-of-Paris, was
then poured neck deep over their bOdies,
around which it set into the hardness Of
stone. In their dying hours the misera-
BILE men were barbarously ill-treated, on
their exposed and defenseless heads, by
the rabble and the soldiery of Shiraz.
Despite the adoption of these frightful
measures for the punishment of highway
robbery, the crime is Of constant occur
renee, especially in Southern Persia, and,
except in the most bitter weather in win
ter, the persons and effects Of travellers
are in constant peril.

Japan Theatres.

In Japan, the drama is an institution
of very long standing. The Japanese
are passionately fond OF the drama; and
the true play-goer, regarding his theatre
in the light of big tea house, will sit
out, day after day, the course of one of
the mystic, romantic pieces so dear to
his mind; and rather than miss an Incl
dent of story, will provide himself as for
a distant excursion, and even be ready to
sleep in his box. Every town, almost
every village, has its theatre, and the edi-
fee, especially on the eve of perform
ance, cannot easily be mistaken. The
building itself is generally plain and un-
pretending enough, save, perhaps, that
its roof is tritie higher than those of
the neighboring houses, and that huge
doorway gapes in the place of the lat
ticed shutters which are so characteristic
of nine japanese houses out of ten. But
on the advent Of performance, huge
flags stretch from side to side Of the
gables; platform appears from the up
per story, on which musicians-such
musicians keep up an incessant clamor
of fife, gong and drum; shops which
were empOTluulS IOT Tile safe VI CIOtIloS,
or sweets, or hardware, reopen as restau-
rants, and are turned internally upside
down in order to afford sleeping-room
for guests; and the dull, sleepy old street
awakens to an animation and hustle
quite peculiar to these occasions. The
interior of the theatre is peculiar. From
the stage, running through the midst OF
the audience to the passage behind,
passes platform along which the
most important actors make their ex-
its and entrances; professions pass, and
travelling filters or sham animals are in
troduced. Above the stage is cage
with blinds, are the orchestra-singers,
fife, drum, cymbal, guitar, and gong
players. The stage itself is marvel of
ingenuity and hardness; that part on
which the actors are is circular, and
works on a windlass beneath; thus the
hurry and confusion so inseparable from
shifting flies and scenes is Obviated by
the simple expedient of turning the stage
round, so that the half hitherto behind
appears as the new scene. The green
rooms, property-rooms and dressing
rooms, are situated behind and above the
stage.

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS. y Van Am.
burgh could handle his lions and tigers
with impunity. No animal will fail to
respond to kindness and uniform good
treatment. And especially will the no.
BILE horse respect and confide in and
faithfully serve master who deals kindly
with him. We have ourselves taken =
spirited Morgan mare which had been
rudely handled and become entirely un-
manageable through harsh treatment,
and, By appealing to her intelligence and
respecting her needs, in three weeks
time made her entirely safe and reliable
for wife and children, and all who would
treat her kindly and handle her gently,

same mare resume her old vicious habits
when again under the control Of one who
resorted to arbitrary or brutal treatment.

Leading from this, the est:dungeon,
are two others, one of which is the room
where condemned prisoners must pass the
last night of their lives. The solid rock
was hewn out to form an inclined plane,
which must serve as their bed if one they
wished on that dreadful night. The other
was the execution room. Here is huge
beam, black with age, on which the con-
demned were suspended, or to which they
were fastened to suffer other deaths
Many thousand Jews were here de-
capitated in the thirteenth century,
charged with having poisoned all the
public drinking fountains of Europe,
thereby causing disease known as the
"Black DEATH" History tells us that
these dungeons were first excavated for a
place Of refuge for the women and chill
dren of the neighborhood in times of war,
but afterwards served more cruel pur-
pose.
The story above this was occupied by
various armories and rooms of state. The
so-called "Hall of Justice" is a large, an
cient looking hall, draped as in olden
times, with the flags and banners of the
country. The next room we enter is the
chamber of the Question:" or torture
chamber, where the suspected were ex-
posed to all imaginable turtures to ex-
tort confession; which confession, if
made, must Of necessity be their death
sentence. In the center of the room is a
huge, though worn, pillar, to which pris-
oners were secured while undergoing
torture.
But all is not yet told. We are taken
into another room where was formerly a
statue of the Virgin Mary. Directly in
front of this was trap-door with secret
spring, which gave way as soon as
touched. In this the condemned were
forced to kneel to do reverence to the i'm
age, when they would be precipitated
upon sharp knives stretched across deep
cavern Qike large welD which contained
eighty feet Of water communicating at the
bottom with Lake Geneva.
The upper story constituted the living
apartments of the Duke of Savoy and his
family. The chamber of the Duke is a
very large room, containing an enormous
fire. place, the walls of which, as we'll as
the whole room, are covered with the
names Of visitors. Leading from this is
the chamber of the Duchess. Its walls
are covered with ancient frescoes. From
its windows most lovely views of the sur
rounding country can be enjoyed. Both
these rooms are now entirely empty, with
the exception of large, old-fashioned
wooden bedstead, used by one of the
dukes who inhabited the castle. On the
same floor with these is the well-preserved
ancient chapel of the dukes family,

church is held..every Lords days. AL,

VINEYARDs.-In 1916, the vineyards of
this country amounted to little over one
hundred acres. At this present time,
taking from Maine to Utah, and includ-
ing California, there is estimated by a
writer in the Wine and Fruit Reporter
nearly one hundred and sixty thousand
acres, devoted to the grape as vineyards.
If we put the numbers, and give space
therefor that are in gardens, we may
safely estimate the acres, so occupied, at
two hundred thousand. Calculating at
two tons to the acre, we have yearly a
product of four hundred million pounds
of grapes.
