round to the lawyers residence and
beat him till he promised to with
draw the action.
Elizabeth Major, aged 63, was
arrested on the charge of having
found sum of money and kept the
matter secret. She, too, was able
to prove her innocence, but not
until she had been tortured. AS she
was about to be discharged the gen.
darmes heard that she meant to
prosecute them, so they shut her
up and tortured her again. Then,
after setting her free for the second
time, they ran after her and gave
a brutal beating"
The correspondent of the Ujsag
says he can establish evidence of
other cases equally horrible. This
is not the first time that charges of
barbarity have been brought against
the Hungarian police.

Marriage in Madagascar.

When father in Madagascar gets
a notion that his daughter ought to
marry he puts rope around her
neck and leads her forth, and the
first young man he offers her to has
got to take her or pay forfeit. The
father thus saves the expense of
light and fuel incident to two years
courtship, and the young man also
saves on opera tickets and ice-cream.
But the spectacle Of young men
darting up alleys and climbing over
back fences when father starts out
leading his daughter with a rope
around her neck must be a very
common one in Madagascar,

The Great Simplon Tunnel.

| From arrangements recently com.
! pleted, which include the consoli.
cation of two of the Swiss Railroad
Companies, and contract made
by them with several German banks,
it appears probable that work will
soon be begun upon the great Sim
plon Tunnel, which will be the fourth
tunnel under the Alps, and the long
est tunnel in the world. From the
surveys for this tunnel, which were
made some years ago, the length
has been determined at 1875 m.
(12.3O miles), and in addition to
this there will be a connection about
one and one-quarter miles in length
from the northern end of the tun-
mel to Brieg, where the connection
with the Swiss railroads will be
made. The grade in the tunnel will
run both ways from the summit
near the center, having fall of l.
500 going northward to Brieg and
,125 going southwark to the Italian
end at Iselle.
The cost of this tunnel is estima-
ted by the engineers at little less
than 4 900 francs per running meter,
which would bring it up to about
81 100000. Adding to this the cost
of the short line north of the tun-
mel, the interest on the capital en-
ployed during construction, and
allowance for unexpected
which may be encoun-
tered, it is thought that about $18,-
100000 will be required. A portion
of this capital will be supplied by
subsidies from some Of the Swiss
cantons, from the Italian govern
ment and from the cities of Milan
and Genoa; the remainder will be
furnished by the Swiss companies.
1t is expected that between seven
and eight years will be required for
the excavation of the tunnel.-En-

Tales of Torture.

The Ujsag of Budapest, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, has received the
following atrocious stories from it's
correspondent at Alt Becse, who
assumes full responsibility for his
statements :" In consequence of
some cases of sheep stealing in Alt
Becse the police recently arrested a
man called Blasius Kovacs and
subjected him to terrible tortures.
The pain wrung from him the name
of Cseke. This man Cseke was ar
rested and laid on his back. Two
gendarmes held his hands and a
third knelt on his chest, while a
fourth beat him on the soles of his
feet with leather strap until he
tainted. Cseke, however, would not
confess to the crime, so his tormen-
tors stepped his feet, dripping with
blood, into vinegar, and thrashed
him again until he tainted the sec
ond time. The next day Cseke's
innocense was amply demonstrated.
The gendarmes waited till night,
then turned him into the street with
a stick to support him. He had to
be carried home in a cart, and will
remain, it is said, a cripple for life.
"a woman named Szilak was
lately arrested on suspicion of theft.
She also was tortured, and the fol-
lowing day her innocence was
proved. The doctor who examined
her after her release declared there
was not place as large as ones
hand on her body without a wound.
Her husband instructed lawyer
to obtain redress for him, but the
learning this hurried

The. well-known rifle shot DR..
Carver, is doing some wonderful
work at the Aquarium, London. He
is posted on all peculiarities con-
corning light and surroundings and
goes through his exhibitions with
ease. The London Sportsman, in
giving an account of the curious
doings on the previous Saturday,
says: "In most marvellous fashion
he managed to smash, destroy and
Pulverlze' every object thrown in
front of his gun. Penny pieces he
pierced with lead, and simply made
miEcemeat Of the wooden balls and
other solid articles. Very few have
had the temerity to come forward
to try for the Doodle in the shape
of a e5 note which Carver offered
to any one who should succeed in
lifting bis rifle as in the act of
shooting for ten consecutive min
utes. Those who desire to tryshe

Crowding the Learned Professions.

The rush to the learned profess
sions began, tits sometimes affirmed,
after the depression in agriculture
and the corresponding rebound from
the commercial prosperity of Gfteen
or twenty years ago. This may, no
doubt, be partially true. But as the
same phenomenon has been noticed
in every other country, the explain
alton must be sought a little deeper.
The real cause will, we venture to
think, be found in the ever-increas-
ing tendency on the part of the
parents and their sons to look to the
''gentlemanly professions" instead
of the more lucrative and more Ger.
tain callings of a less "genteel"
description. In Germany and Amer
lea this trait is perhaps exhibited
in its most exaggerated form, sim
ply because in those countries pro-
fessional training is cheap and the
preliminary education abundant or
easy to attain. Since the School
Board brought the three RS within
the reach of every child it is noto-
rious that these youthful graduates
have displayed repugnance to the
useful lives in which they have been
born. They want to 'better themH
selves" by becoming city clerks or
nursery governesses. 1t is the frs
result produced by an unwonted
state of affairs. By and by educa-
ton will get too common to be
marketable. 1t will then be regarded
simply as preliminary to any call
ing, and not as a necessary. antece-
dent of what the Germans call
"bread studies" A carpenter, ora
blacksmith, or a machinist, or
shop-keeper will discover that he is
none the worse for being a good
scholar, and will even find that in
the enhanced esteem, the greater
pleasure and the enlarged chances
in life which it gives him, he is quite
as much benefited by his educa-
ton as if he had sought to earn his
living by means of it directly

BEN BUTLER, when asked to ad-
wise young man how to become
rich, said that the best thing to do
was to run in debt for a house ara
lot and pay off the mortgage. He
said he had tried it. The FIRST
money worth mentioning that he
had saved was when he was young
lawer in Lowell, Mass. He ran in
debt for house and lot, and paid
off the mortgage with the rent he
got for it and little more that he
saved out of his fees. That was
done, too, before he. was married.

Philadelphia club Of the Players league.
He is also the lively young man that made
things very interesting in baseball circles
during the winter months. 1t will be re-
membered that he signed a three years
contract with the Philadelphia club at that
time, thereby, It is alleged, jumping his
contract with the Kansas City team and
preventing President Speas from selling
him to the National league.
For a while the baseball cranks had
plenty to talk about, and when the Phila-
delphia court of common pleas granted an
injunction restraining him from playing
with or selling his services to any club
other than that of Kansas City they fairly
howled with excitement. Inasmuch as
the Kansas City management had paid st.
a 1900 for Pickett it IL not to be won
dered at that they did not want to lose him.
However everything is all right at last
Pickett is playing with the team of his
choice and the Kansas City management
have relinquished all claim to his services.
Pickett is n of the best players in the
country. He ia an average batter, his
fielding is pretty, rapid and accurate, and
on bases he has few peers.
