In Hemory of Helen Bullard.

On the 28th day Of February, 1899.
Helen Billiard, one Of OAR most iutelli-
gent and beloved schoomates. was
snatched from our merry band by cruel
| Death.
The shocking news that day changed
our happy school to place of mourn
! ing as was shown BY the fearful counte-
nances and huShed voices of each and
every one of its inmates.
We cannot realize how one so young
AMI so lovely car be IN the cold grave.
A cloud overhangs our playground for
Helen who was the life of our games,
the one 10 draw lhe-tfr6id out and to
bring all together in OurNschOoi pleas
ures is gone: In the classroom the
sight of the vacant desk causes the
teacher and pupils to turn aside with
tears
Many feel keenly the lack of her will
ing assistance over the difficult places
in class work and the teacher misses the
apt, studIOus pupil. Her brightness,
pride and ambition as well as her sweet
temper made her class leader that can
not be replaced soou.
Nowhere did her beautiful character
show to greater advantage than it dill in
her home, There she was the cheerful,
loving companion of her sisters; the
amusing entertainer of her little broth
ers. and The ever ready little helpers of
her parents.
Beloved and useful as she was God
saw fit TO let her rise with the flowers
into brighter world and NAV He lead
the bereaved to see that their loss is her
immortal gain.
"Just in the SDring
OF maIdenhO(d
Tender and loving, and wise and good
All! too good for this sinful earth,
Only the angels knew her worth,
So they called her unto them.
Tears are vain when a soul SO bright
Wings its way 10 the gates of light"

Fearful TOrtureH.

For many years l was a teacher IN
Afghanistan, and during my stay In
that country l was often an unwilling
witness of some horrible exhibitions
Of torture. Here Is one they use In the
case of women to extract testimony.
1t consists In prying off the finger
nails by means Of small chisel or
bradawl which Is showed in slowly
but firmly from the finger tip down
v under the quick Of the nail, which
is n lifted up and out
This is another that once saw used
in the case of small child who would
not own up to some petty theft: Sticks
were thrust between Its fingers and
the fingers then squeezed together, so
that the sticks crushed into the bones.
So much for women and children.
Here Is method of eliciting informa-
ton from an unwilling man: The cul-
prit is stripped to the waist, and then
boiling oil Is tlicked on to his back.
This seldom fails to find the mans
tongue.
The above are the chief forms OF
"fahana," or torture, for the purpose
Of elicitlng information, but 1t must
be stated that such infections as
nipping Of noses, tearing out tongues
or splitting eyeballs do not come under
the heading Of "fahana," they being
punishments rather than tortures.-

The Cockatoo's Nutcracker B1II.

Vhe COckatOOA Nutcracker bAlAs
There is wonderful cockatoo in one
of the islands of the Indian ocean, near
New Guinea. 1t is as large as full
grown pheasant, and it is Of Jet black
color. The bird Is remarkable for its
immensely strong bill and the clever
manner in which it Is used. The bill
is as hard as steel, and the upper part
has n deep notch.
Now, the favorite food Of this cocka-
too is the canary nut; but there Is VOL
derful ingenuity required to get at 1t,
for the nut is something like Brazil
nut, but 1t Is ten times as hard. In
fact, it requires the blow Of a heavy
hammer to crack 1t. 1t Is quite smooth
and somewhat triangular in shape.
Nature appears to have given the
possessor Of the wonderful bill some
intelligence to direct its powers, for
the cockatoo takes one Of the nuts
edgewise In it's bill and by carving
motion of It's sharp lower beak makes
a small notch on it. This done, the
third takes hold of the nut with its
claws, and, biting off a piece Of leaf,
retains it In the deep notch Of the up
per part Of the bill. Then the nut IL
seized between the upper and lower
parts of the bill and Is prevented slip
ping by the peculiar texture Of the
leaf. A sharp nip or two breaks off a
tiny piece of the shell Of the nut. The
bird then seizes the nut in its claws
and pokes the long sharp point Of its
bill into the hole and picks out the
kernel bit by bit.-Savannah News.
