Punishment Of .the Lenther Glove. ,,

The following is from a work called
Journey in Morocco The governor
Of Haha, the largest and most important
province in the empire, which long
maintained its independence of the sui
tan, had hereditary claims to the govern
ment of the twelve Shellah tribes who
make up the population. Although
miserably fallen away from its ancient
prosperity-in the time of Leo Africanus
Tin the sixteenth century, there were
six or seven populous towns where there
is now nothing better than village
the province still furnishes much agricul-
tural produce and live stock, and sends
hides, grain, oil and other merchandise
for expectation to the port of Mogado.
The governor, at the time of our visit,
had long held his office; by liberal con-
tributions to the imperial treasury he
had kept himself in the favor of the
sultan while amassing vast wealth.
Powerful and feared, he might have
maintained his authority unbroken,
but that, by continuous course of OPP
preston and cruelty, he at length stirred
up the spirit of resistance among his
own people. Vengeance, however afro
cious, for acts of revolt is so fully the
admitted right of men in authority in
Morocco, that it did not seem to count fCI
much in the Indictment against him that
on one occasion he inflicted on several
hundred-some said thousand-prison-
ers the terrible punishment of the
" leather glove" A lump of quicklime is
placed in the victims open palm, the hand
is closed over it, and bound fast with a
piece of rawhide. The other hand is
fastened with chain behind the back,
while the bound fist is plunged in water.
When, on the ninth day, the wretched
man has the remaining hand set free, it
is to find himself a mutilated object for
life, unless modification haO GOT i.,. I'D
death relieves him from further suffer-
ing. But, in addition to such acts as
these, the Kaid of Haha was accused of
capricious deeds OF ferocity that revolted
the consciences of his people. Among
other stories of the kind, we were told
that on some occasion, when he was
having a wall made round his garden,
he happened to see youth jump over
the low, unfinished fence. Feeling in
some way annoyed at this, he had the
unfortunate boys right foot struck off as
a lesson not to repeat the experiment.

MeIOdiOus Motion.

Ayrton and Perry, in a paper read to
the London Physical Society, have called
attention to the well-known fact that
emotion is excited by moving bodies,
and have predicted the creation upon
this basis of new emotional art capable
of high development Among Eastern
nations, for example, entertainments
consisting of motions and dumb show
are common, which, although. incom-
prehensible and even ludicrous to the
European, powerfully affected the feel
ings of a native audience. In Japan the
authors had seen whole operas of melo-
dious motion" performed in the thea
ters, the emotions being expressed by
movements of the body affecting to tn
audience, but quite strange to them. To
carry out this idea the authors have de-
vised an instrument for effecting changes
in the period, amplitude and phase Of
the harmonic motions given to a moving
body, which they claim is the first mu.
steal instrument of the visual art in
question. By its means numberles'
combinations of graceful motions, pro.
ducing emotional effects on the be
holder, can be given to visible body
the influence being heightened by tht
use of colors properly blended together

cover Mr.. Davids' head, and it seemed
as though he and his family must be
burned to death. His wife, a servant,
Catherine Doyle, and six children were
in the tenement. Mr.. Davids CROPPED his
way into the children's bedroom, and
all but one were asleep. He awoke them,
and first taking his boy Jacob, aged
thirteen, lifted him out of the window.
He did not know what was below. He
could see nothing, but he trusted that he
would be able to drop the boy with less
danger than there would be in the room.
The boy got upon the window sill, and
| the father pushed him off into the bank
of smoke. Then the father CROPPED his
way back to the chamber and took the
Oldest boy, Morris, aged sixteen. Morris
quailed When he looked below, but his
father made him jump. Without waiting
to see what the two sons fate was, Davids
rushed back. He found his wife and
servant, who were almost stupefed by
fear. He told them to go to the window
and jump. They hesitated. He insisted
that it was their only chance, and said
that they could not have any choice if
they waited many minutes more. Then
he went for the other children, and did
not see his wife and servant again until
he was led to the cots in Chambers street
hospital He took the other children,
one by one, and threw them from the
window. Then he thought of himself,
he said afterward, and he jumped too,
and landed safely on the sidewalk. Even
then he did not know how badly he
was injured himself. He found that his
son Morris was badly injured in the
hip by the fall, and that one of Jacobs
legs was broken. Catherine Doyle, the
servant, who jumped, was bruised ant
slightly cut by butchers hook under.
meath the window. His wife was til,
most dangerously injured of all. He
body caught on butchers hook, anC
she was terribly lacerated.
Davids' face and hands began t.
smart, but he did not quite realize tina
he was burned until his wounds wer
dressed. His face was terribly scorched
, his hair and whiskers and eyebrow
singed, and his hands blistered.

Common Sense,

The u. S. Economist tells its readers
that common sense is paradoxically an
uncommon gift. 1t is symmetry of
mind, of character, and of purpose in the
individual combined. 1t represents
man in completeness, harmony and
equipOise. 1t clothes him with dignity,
invests him with power and stamps him
with superiority. That is not genius,
for that is often cratic; nor cunning, in
its sinuous course; nor tact, with its de-
cline into trickery. Common sense is
the embodiment of true manhood. 1t
confers patent of royalty, though birth
be plebeian, and eXalts men from low
Hest spheres TO the highest stations. Not
by sudden freaks of fortune or train of
adventurous circumstances are they
thus dignified, but step by step, through
obstacle and hinderance, they overcome
by the force of character and the proper
direction of the will power. Common
sense is a tremendous force in this lower
world. Its power is felt and ac-
knowledged through all the ramifica-
tons of governments, society, business,
finance, science and commerce. In fact
it is the history as well as the true phil
osophy of ages. 1t is the salt that has
saved humanity from barbarism, and
the moving power that has propelled
the race onward in its march Of progress
and civilization. Rulers who have pos
sessed this gift have governed with
moderation, firmness and justice, and
their reign has proved blessing. Mer-
chants upon whom this talent rested
have worked their way up from narrow
fields and small beginnings to circuits of
trade as wide as the continents of the
globe. 1t gave them the true conserva-
tism needful to successfully accomplish
their plans, and bestowed upon them the
caution that kept them from too ha6aEd7
kings than were ever crowned at lottery
schemes, and gave bankers wealth that
speculation could never furnish. 1t is
the only architect of abiding fortunes,
and the true test of all financial skill. 1t
promotes commerce, fosters trade,
builds up industries, and isthe conserv-
ator of public peace and morals. In the
realms of business it produces no panics,
in governments no disorder, and in So
ciety no tumults.
In individual characters marked diff
ferences are discernible. The weak,
timid and irresolute are in contrast
with the strong daring and energetic,
The voluhle are full of conceit and blus-
ter, the sensible, silent and uncommu-

How to Air a Room.

1t is the general practice to open only
the lower part of the windows of a room
in ventilating it, whereas if the upper
part were also opened the object would
be more speedily effected.
The air in an apartment is usually
heated to higher temperature than the
outer air, and it is thus rendered lighter,
and as the outer air rushes in, the warmer
and lighter air is forced upward, and,
finding no outlet, remains in the room.
If candle be held in the doorway
near the door, it will be found that the
flame will be blown inward; but, if il
be raised nearly to the top of the door
way, it will 60 outward; the warm all
flowing out at the top, while the cold
air flows in at the bottom.
A current of warm air from the room
is generally rushing up the fiue of the
chimney if the flue be open, even though
there should be no fire in the stove
therefore open 6replaces are the best
ventilators we can have for chamber
with an opening arranged in the chin.

Rarely has the press been called upon
to record a more cowardly and brutal
act than the murder of the actor, B. G.
Porter, by James Currie, and the shoot
ing of his companion, Mr.. Barrymore, at
Marshall, Texas While these gentle
men were in the restaurant adjoining the
waiting-room of the railroad station,
with Miss Josephine Baker, an actress,
and all waiting for the train, this ruffian
Currie used improper language to them,
and when told by the party that he must
not insult lady and that they did not
want to have any trouble with him, he
drew his revolver and shot them. II
appears the fellow had two revolvers-
was, in fact, sort of walking arsenal, as
if murder was his profession. He was a
railroad detective, too. A pretty sort oil
fellow this, to be employed by railroad
company. When drunken ruffian car.
ries loaded revolver, there is no telling
when he may use it, or make the occa.
sion himself for using it; but when he
goes doubly armed, as this man Currit
was, he is as dangerous as . train o.
nitro-glycerine.
