DOCS with the circular marks on their
foreheads, swell Bokhariots, and OK
course, Jews.
JEWS HAVE A HARD TIME THERE.
The Jews are allowed to ride on
asses, bat rot on horses. They are
prohibited from wearing silk robes,
of which they are very fond, and
must war q rope girdle. This gir-
die has two fold purpose. Fit is
desired to hang the Jew 1t is cenven-
lent, end if, as frequently occurs, he
is only 70 be beaten, then it is equal
iy convenient for the authorities.
The jew is much looked down upon
IN BOSGrl, but he manages to get
very rich, nevertheless, and the
Ameer finds in him bis greatest
source Of income, because n hint that
his rope girdle would look well hang
ing from 2 roof beam Arrays pro.
.duces golden results.
The prejudice against the Jews is
very great indeed, going so far as to
prohibit him from having his throat
cat, a method OF execution much in
vogue among B0khariots, end very
popular, hanging being considered
4 disgrace. I could not help con-
trasting these Orientals with our
selves, and it struck me that if a
swell from BokarG were to visit Phil
adelphia and walk down Chestnut
street, he must think us very
Ill BRED SET
for The reason that he would run the
risk OF being mobhed by The crowd
following him. Even if he escaped
bodily injury he most certainly would
not escape Insult Iw1lked through
the B1kara strec,s anI bazIrs alone
day after deY, ani even 1T night dur
ing Rhanazau, and not the slightest
notice was taken Of ina, nor was any
curiosity displayed.
10 PETrISa OF CRIMINALS.
There is 20 sentiment wasted oa
criminals in Bokara A criminal is
criminal and the punishment is &C
cordiDg 10 tie crime. In converse,
ton with very intelligent i1divid
ia. this question came up, aad I was
informed that severe puaishrNan.s,
such IS cutting of Of the hands Of
thieves aud cutting the throats Of
murdcrars, were modes of punish
ment which gave universal satisfac-
ton 10 the Amser's subjects, aud
that any attempt to change this
would in all probability cost the
Amear his throne. Long terms Of
imprisonment are not popular with
these people because they complain
that they are punished who are in
nocent, by being taxed to support
criminals.
ALL WAITING TO d.
Il visited the prison AM found
forty men in n room about fitesn
feet square, seated On the floor with
their backs to the wall They were
chained by tho neck an around the
waist. These prisoners wsre chiefly
murderers. Some Of them had been
in prison for years and hal been for-
gotten; others for a shorter period,
but ali were under son terca Of death
aud We're awaiting the pleasure Of
the Aneer to have their throats cut.
BAD WATER IND WORMS.
For drinking purposes the water
is very bad, especially for Europeans,
on account of tine Rsshta worm
which enters the system.
The worm afterwards makes it's
way through the lesh TO The surface
making very ugly and painful sore
as large as half dolllr. These sores
appear usually on the face. The ma
tive doctors and BARRIERS arc very
skillful in removing this worm which
is sometimes SIX or eight feet in
length. The Eaad is carefuliysougbt
and slowly drawn out about half an
inch, and fastened to q small piece
Of wood, after which the stick is
turned onca a dly until the worm Is
ali withdrawn. An ugly sore ro-
mains for some time, but eventually
it heals, leaving q scar. Wee to the
unfortunate wrotci if the worm
should break during the operation,
rs it is very difficult to catch him
the second time
