Brutalities in Turkish Prisons.

A special correspondent to the London
Duly News succeeded short time ago III
obtaining admission to the Turkish prison
at Uskub, Macedonia, town of European
Turkey. He found that the building con-
tanned l49 cells, which were occupied by
1911 prisoners, or over IL to "a cell. A.
a rule the unfortunate victims are sent
there to be confined from one to ten years
each. But so great are their sufferings,
arising from the barbarity of their keepers
aud of the total disregard by the latter OF
all sanitary laws, that one rarely outlives
FIVE years. In one cell, two and d hall
wards square, the correspondent discovered
nearly a score of poor wretches painting
for air and starving for food, having in
the way of the latter nothing but bread
and water. The greatest number were
stark naked and chained by the ankle aud
wrist.
As if the jailers were unable to inlet
tortures enough on Their victims In the
dens already described, the correspondent

all day in the scorching sun in such way
that they are unable to move.

About Palmistry.
Good Housekeeping.

Many children and young people have
traced with curiosity the lines marking
the palm of the hands of themselves and
pay-fellows. Here is a means of learning
the significance of those lines, which may
help to entertain or divert gathering of
young folks. If the prophecy as indicated
is not satisfactory, each palmister can
devise code of his own; and so wonder
full is this science that, although they may
be radically different, one indication
will be just as infallible as the other.
The most important line is, Of course,
the line of life-that line sweeping around
the base of the thumb from the wrist.
Long, clear, direct in its course and well
colored, it denotes long life, and health,
and a good character and disposition.
Pale and broad, it indicates ill-health,
evil instincts and weak, envious dis
potion. Thick and red, it betrays
violence and brutality. The ages at which
events have happened may be told by the
points at which they have marked the
line. The shorter the line the shorter the
life: and this is rather startling) from
the point at which the lines terminates
in both hands may be accurately predicted
the time of death A break in the line is
always an illness; if in both hands, there
is always "a grave danger of death, espe-
cially if the lower branch of the line turns
in toward the thumb. Rays across the
hand from the base of the thumb always
denote worries, and at the age at which
they occur is always shown by the point
at which the rays terminate. The Zine of
head y" which is the next great line in
the hand--it extends from between the
thumb and fore-hnger across to the third
fnger-should be clear and well closed,
without fork, break or ramiication.
Pale and broad, it indicates feebleness or
lack of intellect; but if it is long and
strong, it denotes self-control The third
line is the line of the heart-the line sweep
ing from the fore finger across the hand
If it goes right across, 1t indicates excess
siye affection resulting in morbid
jealousy. If it is chained, the subject is
an ardent flirt Very, very thin and bare,
it is a sign of murder. The fourth great
line in the hand is that of fortune, which
rises through the whole hand from the
wrist to between the second and third fin
gers. If it starts FROM the line of life, it
shows that one s fortune results from one S
own deserts; rising fiom the wrist, it is
always the sign of good luck. Twisted
or ragged at the base, il indicates ill-luck
in early life. The line of health comes
from the base OF the line of life. Clearly
traced, it seldom exists in a hand; but
when it is found, it is the sign of good
health, gayety and success. There exists
of course, in every hand lines which do not
come under any Of these rules; but the ex-
pert in chirosophy has no difficulty in read
ing such by referring to their position
with regard to the principal lines

Elephants aSI Log Carriers.

Lazy and clumsy-looking as the elephant
appears in our menagerles, where 1t Is
merely an object of curiosity, in Asia it is
as useful an animal as the horse, aud is,
indeed, employed In great variety of
ways. There are few, if any, tasks n horse
can be trusted to perform without careful
and constant guidance; whereas the ele-
plant is frequently given as much indie
pendence of action as a man would have
for the same work. This is notably the
case in the lumber yards of Rangaon and
Moulmein where the entire moving and
piling the heavy timber is performed by
male elephants without any special super
vision by the keepers. The logs to be
moved are lockwood, which are very heavy.
They are cut into lengths of twenty feet,
with diameter or perhaps a square, of
about a foot. An elephant will go to a
log, kneel down, thrust his tusks under
the middle of it, curl his trunk over it, test
It 10 see that it is evenly balanced, and
then rise with it and easily carry it to
the pile that is being made Place
the log carefully on the pile in its proper
place, the sagacious animal will step
back a few PAGES and measure with his
eyes to determine whether or not the log
needs pushing one way or another. 1t
will then make any necessary alterations
in position. In this way, without any word
or command from its mayhout, or driver,
it will go on with its work. To do any
special task it ust, of course, be directed
by the mahout but it is marvellous to see
how readily this great creature comrre
hends its instructions, and how niger us
ly it makes use of its strength. If log
too heavy to be carried is to be moved a
short distance, the elephant will bend low,
place his great head against the end of the
log, and then, with a sudden exertion of
strength and weight, throw his body for
ward, and fairly push the log along; or,
to move the log any great distance, he
will encircle it with a chain and drag his
load behind him. As rule, however, the
wor k of dragging is done by the female
elephants, since, having no tusks, they
cannot carry logs as male elephants do. A
man could hardly display more Judgment
in the adjustment of the rope or chain
ro1nd log. nor could man with two
hands tie and unite knots more skillfully
than do these elephants with their trunks.

Somewhere In its shad Wa hiding:

The current of life rims ever away
To the bosom Of Gods great ocean:

And think to alter its motion.

Remember, It lived before you.
Don't butt at the storm with your puny form,
But bend and let 1t 60 Ger you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your within to the letter.
Sore things must 20 wrong your whole life long

And go under at last in the wrestle;
The wiser man shapes into Gods plan
As the water shapes into the vessel.

The RESULT IN CALIFORNIA.
Tho Tariff Qaestion Understood 10 That
State, - 10 Oregon, Washington, and

Gan Francisco Chronicle.)
Since the results OF Tuesdays cleo.
ton have become known. many people
are wondering Why California should
have gone solidly Republican while 50
many Of the Eastern and Western
States have leaned 80 decidedly
toward Democracy and free trade.
There are two reasons. In The first
plsc., California understands aud ap.
preciates the Mckinley bill better
and more clearly than almost any
other state in the Union. She sees
that the operation of the new tariff
law must necessarily be beneficial to
her because her leading Industries re-
ceive On adequate measure OF protec.
ton. Her natural products are pro.
tected against undue foreign com.
petition, and 90 she votes for the
maintenance Of fiscal policy which is
plainly to her advantage, and which
che has been shrewd enough to com.
prehend 1t once.
In the second place. our contest in
the Congressional election WAS not
complicated by side issues. The issue
Of protection versus free trade was
presented squarely to the people of
California, and the result was a nstu.
raj aud proper victory for protection.
Our producers of wine and rsisins
and prunes and hops and barley and
other products could not see their way
to sending men to Congress who were
not in direct sympathy with their in.
trrests, and consequently We elect a
solid Republican delegation.
1t is the fashion OF the East to think
OF California as rather slow and dull
and ignorant on national questions,
but the fact is we know now tina,
which it will take the people of Mass.
