The report that tho amecr of Bohlara has
ordered the abolition of torture in his king
dom, i'll honor of the cars escape from death
i'll railway accident, will suggest painful
memories to Englishmen. Tho commoncst
form of torture i'll Bokhara is confinement in
the "blacli we'll" where the lucklcss victim
is devourcd by vcrmin. This was tho fate of
Sto,l,lart, who was afterward put to death
along with Connolly by tho present amcer's
grandfather. Other crucltics, too, were prac-
ticcd by "Tho Butcher" as ho was ftly
called. Men wcro thrown down from high
walls or towers, were laycd alive, or roasted
i'll ovens.
Mr. George Curzon at the meeting of tho
Royal Geographical society, showed photo
graph of tho tower from which criminals aro
still flung, and he expressed hope that this
barbarous punishment would before long he
abolished. Torture is by 10 means uncommon
in tho Indian native states; indeed, Sir I.cpcl
Griffin describes it as n recognized form of
judicial procedure. IIo mentions tho case
of ruling chief who was openly accused of
having the acrid juice of chilics squeezed
into the eyes of reluctant witnesses "He
was an old gentleman" Sir Lcpel says, 'of
tho most soft and courteous manners, and
the idea that chillies could be objected to as
means of judicial investigation did not
seem to havo occurred to him. st. james

Like all earnest men 1bsen is easy to carl
catllrc, for he goes to the edge of the absurd
There has been hue and cry about him all
over Germanic Europe and particularly in
Berlin. That he is n master of his art that
his pieces play superbly, has only made the
attacks on him tho harshcr. People said that
he was n pessimist-as if n man who believes
essentially in progress could be pcssimst-
that in his hands the dramatic art had become
oratory, the stage Il rostrum; that he was a
rcalist, lie no longer believed in the genuine
Il should say the notorious-Gcrmnn Itlealis-
mus; as if the real world of art and letters
cared what particular rules of yar,lstick crit
icisn are in vogue at Berlin. In spite of all
this however, there are multitudcs who read
lbsen with great pleasure.
So far as my experience goes, he has an ex-
traordinary influence on young men. That
influence however, is not u personal one.
skillfnl teacher sometimes frames for his
class Il problem the solution of which leads
them to Il general law that lies behind it,
The student is delighted with the tangibility
of his new knowledge, and proceeds so eager
ly to apply it, that, remembering the law,
the important thing, he forgcts the partcu-
lar steps by which the teacher led him
to it; sometimes he forgcts entirely the
part of the teacher. So it is with Ibsen.
y drama Of his presents truth so
skillfully that one is eager to apply it to an
other problem, and, cated with success, one
is apt to forget the way in which the truth
was first brought to him. Sometimes in the
new cnthlsasms which come from reading
Ibsen's plays, ono forgcts Ibsen himself

Irish Wit.


"The Irish are the most witty of all pco-
pie" writes Edmund kirke in The North
American Review, and he tells two anecdotes
to illustrate the quickncss ut repartee which
chnracterizcs even the unlettered among
them. Go to your captain and tell him you
are the LATEST rascal in the regiment" said
a field officer to an Irish private
"Plasc, yer honor" replied Pat, "wud ye
hev me so to tho captain wild a lie in my
mouthf"
When James Harper was mayor of New
York he required that applicants for position
on the police force should DO able to read and
write. Patrick Murphy, who could neither
read nor write, was anxious to be OH tho
"perlsse," and set himself to work accord
ingly
When he could scrawl his own name in
"coarse hand" he presented himself before
the mayor, accompanied by several friends
On making his application he was told to
write Patrick Murphy in blank book He
wrote it, much to the surprise of his friends.
"Howly Moses!" exclaimed one. mike,
dye mind that! Pats a-writingl He's got q
pen in his list!"
That will do" said Mayor Harper. "rll
make inquiry about you Como again in n
fortnight, and I'll SEQ what can be done for
you"
PHASE, yer honor" said ono of Pats
amazed friends, "ask him to write some
body else's name"
THAT is well thought Of" answered Mr.
Harper. Patrick, write my name"
Me write yer honor's namcl" exclaimed
Pat, jumping out of tho trap before it could
spring. "Mc commit forgery, and a-goin'
on the perllsse can't do it, yer honor"
Tho mayor, of course, saw through the rusc,
but he loved joke, and Patrick Murphy, in
tho course of time, exhibited himself to his
admiring friends in the uniform of police

saw one of these contests, and describes it in

saw one of these contests, and describes it in
his Hunters Arcadia"
While stalking springbok he discovered u
secretary bird fighting with snake seven or
eight feet long, called by the Beers ''ring-
kaal," from the white ring or stripe around
its neck. 1t is an active serpent, endowed
with the power of splitting its venom six feet
or more
For several minutes the activity of the
belligerents displayed itself in feints and
blows. The bird then withdrew and uttered
aprolonged harsh note. In a minute it was
joined by another secretary bird Both birds
then attacked tho snake, which, being un-
able to face both ways at the same time, re-
ceived frequent blows from its assailants'
strong wings.
Ono blow stupcfied the snake. Instantly one
bird seized the serpent near the neck and tile
other further back, and bore it, wriggling,
struggling, aloft II hundred yards and then
dropped it With closed wings, tho birds de-
sccnded so rapidly as to reach the ground as
soon rs tho snake. Quick ,s thought a bird
struck tho serpent blow upon tho head
which killed it,
AS is generally the case, the allies, having
conquered, began disputing as to the booty
The dispute led to fight, during which the
hunter, who wanted the snake us a specimen,
slipped i'll and took the booty. He conveyed
tho ringkaal to his wagon, where it continued
to distill clear poison for an hour.-Philadcl

Lc-alizcd Nicku;,mcs

NicknamcS are not likely to so out of fash
ion so long rs human nature is what it is
Schoolhoys will nickname each other, cole.
gians will nickname their professors, and sol
dicrs will speak of their commanders us
Little Mac" "Uncle Billy" "Fighting Joe,"
or what not. In these days, however, it is
not customary to spread such titles on the
official records us was formerly the habit, ac
cording to tho author of tho "Antiquitcs of
Long Island"
In lGi4, i'll the Dutch records, we have John
Petersen, alias Friend John. In the Newton
purchase from tho Indians, dated in ll56, ono
of the boundaries is ''by Dutchman's n,xl
called Hans the Boore," and in the B,lshwick
patent. dated Oct. IL. 1867, one of the boln
daries s"John heS;wclc's meadow =" In 1868,
in the Kings county records, IL man is named

Tho common council of New York in G9l
ordered fish to be brought into the dock
lover against tho city hall, or tho house that
Long Mary formerly lived in" and in the
same year an order was passed that TOP
Knot Betty and her children be provided for
as objects of charity"
Tho explanation of this custom in many
had no family names or had forgotten them
so that tho use Of their generally accepted
nicknames became a necessity.
So numerous were tho Smiths living upon
Long Island that it was thong ghtsiecessary to
distinguish tho various original families by
somo peculiar name. Thus we have tho Rock
Smiths, the Blue Smiths, tho Bull Smiths and
tho Weight Smiths. Youths Companion

4 Retired Supreme Justice.

William Strong is often referred to as tho
most sensible man i'll Washington He cscrvcd
ton years on tho supreme bench, and then
proved wiso enough to take advantage of the
law that allows him to retire OH full pay. He
was born on tho 9th of May, ls0S, in Somcrs,
Conn., After graduating from Yalchc taught
for time and studied law. He was admitted
to tho barin Pennsylvania in 1882 Hcscrvcd
in congress during several terms, running in
every election on tho Democratic ticket. In
1851 he was appointed Justice on tho supreme
bench of Pennsylvania. and in 1870 he re-
ccivcd his commission as n member of the
United States supreme court. In 1850 he re-
signed and has since lived quietly in Wash
lngion, lecturing occasionally, and perform
ing faithfully the ono duty that the law re-
quircs of him. Whenever the supreme court
isrcquired to take part in any public cere-
monies Judge Strong puts on his robo and
walks with them in the procession. In con-
sidcration of this and his past services he re-
ccivcs $4,000 annually from Uncle SANS
treasury. Couricr-Journal.

ment for Richard III" although the actor
had given instructions to be billed for "Othel-
To-" He played "Othello" however, despite
the fact that he had been billed for Gloster.
AT the fall of the curtain lie came forward
and explained the reason for the confusion
and announced that he would play Richard
on the following night. The manager of the
house thereupon jumped to his feet and an
angry debate followed, Mr. Foote declaring
that he would play "Richard III" in the
opera house on the following night and the
manager affirming that he should not. The
audience listened attentvely to the debate,
but remained neutral and Went home when
the discussion ended. But Mr. Foote and his
entire company staid. They camped all
night on tho stage, and when the marshal
came to eject them he was confronted at the
doorway with Mr.. Foote'S brace of mastitfS.
No papers were served and the marshal re-
tired. The company remained in the theatre
and Mr.. Foote kept his word by appearing as
Richard Ill that night.-New York Star.

Bent Wood Furniture.

The material to be bent, as practced in
Austria, is usually the red beech, product
of the Hungarian forests In the United
States the common beech and birch are used
and stained with the aniline reds modified by
logwood and Brazil wood. The timber is
sawed into strips of the proper size and fin
ished in gauge lathe or by hand to the re-
quired proportions.
They are then placed in tight case Of
wood or iron and subjected to steaming
process for few minutes, and in work re-
quiring specially sharp bends the last steam
is superheated slightly or the goods put under
high pressure steam in an iron case with
sealed door, capable of fifty pounds pressure.
This makes the wood very pliabe.
Molds of wood Or iron are used of the ex-
act shapes, into which the hot strips are
bound at the moment Of removal from the
steam case. In from two to eight days the
strips are set and dry, ready for assembling,
finishing and asnishinS.-Scentifc Ameri

Mixed up in Making Change.

1t is.odd how confusing some little prob
lens in figures will sometimes be. A gentle
man sat in business mans office writing
letter, the proprietor being close at hand.
When he had finished he asked for stamp,
and his friend pulled open drawer in the
desk and handed him one of the little portraits
OF George Washington. Tho guest gave him
nickel, and was in return given three pen
nies. AS he was placing these in his pocket
he thought of playing trick, and dropping
one Of the pennies produced the other two,
saying: why, here, George, | could have
given you the exact amount" at the same
time rendering him the coppers. His friend
took them and gave back tho nickel he still
held, pocketing tho pennies without word
OF protest. Tho guest departed, but the next
day came in again, and he was greeted by
the proprietor the first thing with: Say,
Tom, about that stamp" He got no further,
for the laugh on the visitors faco showed
him the job had been put up.-Chicago Her.
