CRULTY. IN PERSIA.

Most travellers in Persia have seen the
little pillars in which robbers have been
built up and left to starve, and must have
heard fairly creditable tales of crucifixions
and other cruel punishments. NOWADAYS
these things do not happen, but there
seems no reason to doubt that eXtraordi-
nary barbarities attended the execution
of the Babees in Teheran. I have been
myself told by nomad chief, who had
been an eye witness, with whom camped
In Ears, that some were shod like horses,
some were cut to pieces with knives and
WHIPS, and some made to carry torches in
apertures made for the purpose in their
bodies. My informant may have exag-
gerated, but it is certain that extreme
cruelty was the rule. Nothing that is
related is beyond belief To this day rob-
Ders are starved to death in China, and
PARTICLES are sliced to death Qing-chih),
while the purest and highest morality is
the ideal set before the individual China
man and the imperial government alike
No tortures that ingenuity could devise
served to shake the constancy of the
martyred men, women and children who
died repeating the familiar Arabic text:
Verify we are Gods, and to Him we
return" In the provinces, as well as in
the capital, all suspects were hunted
down. a relative of my friend, the
nomad chief, was particularly active in
this service, and conceived the idea of
handing over so many captives to trades
men of different guilds, whose profes.
sional instincts might devise some dis.
tinctive and characteristic torture

TO OVERCOME SUPERSTITION.
One Mans Method of Making Employees
Feel Right About Friday.

His firmly set lips and the square cut
OF his side whiskers showed at glance
that he was accustomed to surmount OBJ
stacles, instead of yielding to them.
we were n day late in getting that
piece of work out,n he remarked to the
superintendent of his house
Yes, it was one.of those unfortunate
things that could very well be avoided. !"
what was the matter?'
"1ou will remember that the order
reached us on Friday morning. 1t was a
pretty big job of work and the foreman
hated like everything to begin it on Fri
day. The men all looked kind of glum
when he talked about taking it up on
that day, and, to tell the truth, I didn't
like to begin it on Friday myself
WHAT'S wrong with Friday?''
Nothing. Only You know the old
superstition about its being an unlucky
day. OF course, everybody feels a little
ashamed OF 1T, but just the same every
body recognizes it and is more or less
afraid of it,
"And you mean to tell me that this
superstition has saturated these shops so
that we are liable to be delayed on a con
tract if Friday happens to interfere?'
"I'm afraid that's the case.''
'Well, I'll fix that
eth be hard to do"
mo 1T won't. 1t will be the easiest
thing imaginable. You notify the cashier
and bookkeeper that hereafter, instead of
paying off on Saturday, all employees will
get their money on Friday That will
arrange things so that instead of regard
ing Friday rs unlucky, they'll spend the
other six days wishing for it to come
around.n

the People He Addressed.
The last Congressional campaig in Ala
bama was an exciting one Judge Tum-
bley, one of the best political orators i'm
the State, visited Jackson county, and
was given rousing welcome on Sand
Mountain. The first part of his speech
was Justify cheered, but mountaineer,
following the time-honored custom Of
that section of questioning the political
speakers, arose and asked:
"Jedge, we've heerd them fellers in
Washington is gwine ter increase the tax
on whisky. What do yer think of it?''
1t was delicate question, as the.follow-
ing illustration, taken from the Washing
ton Star, proves. The judge knew that
whiskey was staple on Sand Mountain,
but he also knew that there were prohi.
bition sections in the Congressional dis
trict where he might be quoted; but he
took the chances. "whiskey,' he said,
is the poor mans drink, champagne the
rich mans drink. Raise the tax on
champagne and lower it on whiskey."
He expected cheers, but none were
offered. When he concluded not man
waited to shake hands with him, and he
went alone to the. place where he was
stopping at. He asked his host: "Why
don't your people want lower tax on
whiskeyf''
"Jedge," was the reply, "our folks air
poor. They don't buy no whiskey, an
they jess git for it whatever the tax are.
They git ninety cents gallon now.
Take off the tax an they Wouldn't git
nothin'"

THE VANISHING OF THE RAVEN.

IHE VANISHING OF THE RAVEN.
The wide domains, the large timber
and the ancient families survive, but the
raven has vanished. 1t occasionally
takes young rabbit. But the human
ravens of Somerset-to wit: the men and
boys who have as little right to the rab-
bits-do the same. I do not suppose
that in this way fewer than from Id. 600
to 2O,O00 rabbits are annually "picked
up" or ''poached''-if anyone likes that
word better-in the country Probably
larger number. The existence of pair
of rabbits on the estate OF 10000, 10000
or 10000 acres would not add much to
the loss. No doubt the raven kills other
creatures that are preserved for sport,
but it does not appear that it's extermin-
alton has improved things in Somerset.
Thirty years ago, when black game
was more plentiful than it is now, the
raven was to be met with throughout
the country, and was abundant in EX-
moor and the Quantocks. The old head
Keeper on the forest of Exmoor told me
that when he took the place twenty i've
years ago, ravens, carrion, crows, buzz
yards and hawks of all kinds were very
abundant and that the war he had waged
against them for quarter of q century
had well nigh exterminatcd all this
species. He had kept careful record of
the birds killed, noting the species in
every case, as he was paid for all, but
the reward varied-the largest sums be-
ing given for the largest birds-ravens
and buzZards. His book shows that one
year, twenty-three years ago, that he was
paid for fifty two ravens shot and
trapped. After that the number dimin-
ished rapidly, and for several years past
not one raven has been killed.-Long-
