Punishment in Turkey.

witnessed this punishment in front
of the Pasha's palace at Damascus.
The oulprit was lying full length on
the ground, with a brawny Turkish
soldier sitting cross-legged on his
chest like q nightmare, by way of
making him comfortable, while two
men held up the soles of his feet in the
air and two others belabored them
with long sticks, as if beating a carpet
The victim himself never uttered a
sound, but the two who were thrash
ing him howled and screamed like
demons, perhaps to save him the trou-
BILE of doing it himself.
The moment the punishment was
over up jumped the two other men and
Hogged the foggers themselves, doubt
less for not hitting hard enough, and
then fat Turkish major, who had
been watching the whole business
with smile of quiet, heartfelt enjoy
ment, walked placidly up and boxed
their ears all around, as if he we're
giving them his blessing, after which
the congregation dispersed Cosmo-

A Fashionable Dog Is Expensive.

1t costs a lot of money to keep q
fashionable dog nowadays, for society
ladies are following very closely the
elaborateness Of their wardrobes in the
outfits of their pets. Up to compare
lively recent period women were salts
fed with adorning their canine friends
with more or less costly collars. All
kinds were used, from plain leather,
studded with nails, to more or less ex-
densively worked metal bands of brass
or German silver. Then the fad of using
solid silver and even gold collars began
to gain popularity, and often family
crests or monograms were thereon eE-
graved. About the time that bangles
were in the height of their popularity a
few dog collars were made of silver or
gold pieces joined together. Russia
leather and alligator skin bound with
gold were also used for canine neck en-
circlers. The dog bracelet is the latest
fad. These bracelets are made of gold
and silver and are often set with pre-
cious stones. They are fastened with
little padlocks and are usually about the
size of finger rings, as the larger dogs
scorn such frivolities. What the dear
creatures will take up next in the way
of dog ornamentation no one can tell

PERILS OF THE RAIL.
Fatal Wreck Caused by a Wash
out in Virginia.
Other Accidents in Various Parts
Of the Country.

An accident, by which many lives were lost
and large number of people injured, oc-
CURED on the Norfolk and Western Railroad
at 2:30 o'clock in the morning, one mile above
Flaxton's switch and thirty-one miles above
Lynchburg, Va. Rain had been falling almost
continuously and at times very heavily for
twenty-four hours, swelling the mountain
streams greatly.
during the night and it was thought that
the line was safe for traffic. At the place Of
the accident, however, the water had under
mined the roadbed and caused a washout
about eight feet long and fifty feet wide. The
water at this point was from eight to ten
feet deep
Into this watery gulch the engine of a pas
senger train made frightful leap while rum
ming at the rate of thirty miles an hour, carry
ing with it the tender and eight cars AS the
engine struck bottom the rushing of the water
into the locomotive exploded the boiler. The
force Of the explosion threw wreckage in
every direction, injuring some of the persons
on the train and scattering firebrands which
ignited the woodwork of the coaches.
The flames spread and destroyed large
amount of mail and express matter besides
spreading panic among the already frightened
passengers. 1t was supposed that some Of the
passengers were unable to extricate them
in the flames
1t was impossible, on the day after the
wreck, to say how many persons were killed,
but the most reliable estimate placed the
number between twenty-five and thirty. The
number of wounded was far ia excess of the
number killed. Thirty Of the wounded were
taken to Roanoke, thirteen to Bufordsville,
and fifty to Liberty.
The adopted daughter of Mrs. Judge
Thompson, of Augusta County, Va, was
killed. Mrs. Thompson herself was very
badly hurt. Pat Donovan, the engineer and
his fireman, man named Bruce, were
scalded to death by escaping steam. Train
Dispatcher Lipsey was also burned to death.
Among the others who lost their lives were
J. J. Rose, postal clerk of Abingdon, Va;
John Kirkpatrick of Lynchburg, Va; w. e.
Stead, of Cleveland, Tenn, and the husband
and two children of a woman passenger
whose name could not be learned.
A relief train was made up at Lynchburg
late in the afternoon to go to the scene of the
wreck, and number of physicians went
down on it to do what they could to aid the
wounded.
A special despatch, which was received soon
after the accident from the scene of the
wreck, by way of Liberty, SAYS:
''Six dead bodies have been recovered. The
bodies of P. Donovan, engineer, and Postal
Clerk Rose were recognized The others are
not known. Superintendent Cassell, although
badly hurt is on the ground, and doing every
thing possible for the wounded. The rail-
road company has taken a large corps of
physicians to the scene of the wreck from
Roanoke, Liberty, and other points 1t is
thought a large number of bodies were
burned in the cOnfagration."

A New Substitute for Glass.

The new translucent substanc in
tended as a substitute for glass has
been satisfactorily adopted in some of
the public buildings of London, and
various advantages are claimed for it,
among these being such degree of
pliancy that it may be bent backward
and forward like leather and be sub
jected to very considerable tensile
strain with impunity; it is also almost
as transparent as glass and of pleas
ant amber color, varying in shade from
very light golden 20 pale brown. The
basis of the material is web of fine
iron wire, with warp and weft threads
about one-twelfth inch apart, this
being inclosed, like fly in amber, in
sheet of translucent varnish, of
which the base is linseed OIL There
is no resin or gum in the varnish, and
once having become dry it is capable
Of standing heat and damp without
undergoing any change, neither hard
ening nor becoming sticky. Briefly,
the manufacture is accomplished by
dipping the sheets edgewise into deep
tanks of varnish, and then allowing
the coating which they thus receive to
dry in a warm atmosphere. It requires
somewhat more than a dozen of these
dips to bring these sheets to the re-
quired degree of thickness, and, when
this has been accomplished, the ma
tnrial is stored for several weeks to
thoroughly set.

loaves of fresh bread, weighing four pounds

Once before in the history of the prison
