Hook.swlnglng" in india:

Much Indignation Is expressed
among Europeans throughout India at the
failure Of the government Of Madras TO In
terfers with the ceremony Of hook-swing-
ing, the particulars Uf which were recently
cabled. Investigation does not sustain the
excuse Of the authorities that 1t was cass
Of voluntary suffering, - the victim se-
lected was chosen by lot and would proba-
bly, have to be compelled to submit II he
had been unwilling The custom had
been discontinued for about twenty-four
years, having been denounced, II not actu-
ally prohibited, by former Adminlstra
tion. The unusual visitation Of famine,
cattle disease and other misfortunes led to
its revival.
1t appears that tho victim was not mere
ly swung up by the hooks. A curved knife
was first thrust through the muscles Of his
back on one side and an iron hook pushed
In. Then the same was done on the other
side. Then man was swung by the hooks
to the end OF pole fifty feet long. The
pole was fastened to car in such way
that the victim was elevated In the air
about forty feet The car was then drawn
through the streets amid the cries Of the
public. THIS was done to propitiate the
gods, and figure Of the goddess was car
ried where she would have q full view Of
the proceedings.
The victim stood the torture without
cry, and when released showed no signs Of
fatal injury. For some months TO come he
will be the recipient Of liberal gifts at the
hands Of those for whose benefit he en-
dured the tUrture.

New Ship. for Lake Traffic.

The keels have been laid by tn Q
American Steel Barge works at Duluth
for eight whale backs, each of which will
carry l40,OO0 bushels Of wheat, drawing
fifteen feet of water. They will be S25
feet long over ali, AZ feet beam, 25 feot
deep, and arc to be built exclusively for
lake trade. They arc being put through
on contract for q mining syndicate, and
will be the first large vessels built by the
barge company not on its own account
No secret 10 made of the fact that these
vessels are under contract, but 1t is not
generally known, nor are the names Of the
purchasers given out.
1t is fact worthy Of note that the III,
which took her maiden cargo Of $1,000
bushels out Of Duluth the other day, took
l2 per cent. Of her cost in the single down
trip. The vessel is valued at $4,000, and
the freight on her $4,000 bushels was
enough to pay $4,000 for the trip. This
would nay for the boat twice over in a sea-
son, allowing up freight to cover expenses.

permitted to wear mustaches.

WHILE in theory the subject OF
prison reform has been intelligently
analysed and the remedies for evils
suggested 1t must be admitted that in
practice the work has scarcely been
begun. In the majority OF states and
municipalities the control Of prisons is
vested in boards that are wholly gov
erned By political expediency.
Boys Of tender years are thrust
in the same prison corridors
with hardened criminals. 1t is use
less to elaborate the theoretical side
OF prison reform until common justice
and decency dictate that our prisons
shall not be criminal factories.

is growing larger and that the public
taste is changing for the better. Such
n statement coming at time whom
the human mind seemed 10 have a
morbid ana greedy craving for the I'M

be implicitly believed. An examina-
