Fearful Tortures.

For many years I was a teacher IN
Afghanistan, and during my STAY in
that country I 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 a small chisel or
bradawl, whj"h is showed in slowly but
firmly from the finger tip downward
under the quick OF the nail, which is
then lifted w and out. This Is an
other that / once saw used in the case
OF a small child, who would not own
up to some petty theft: Sticks were
thrust between It's fingers and then
squeezed together, so that the sticks
crushed into the bones. So much for
women and children. Here Is a meth
cd OF eliciting information from an un-
willing man: The culprit is stripped
to the waist, and then boiling oil is
licked on his back. This seldom fails
TO find any mans tongue. The above
are the chief forms of "fahana," or tor
ture. for the purpose of e~liciting in
formation, but it must be stated that
such infections as nipping of noses,
tearing out tongues or splitting eye
balls do not come under the head OF
"tahana," they being punishments
rather than tortures.-London Stand

hurried way In which her friends sup
pIled her trousseau. A writer in Mac
milan on Anglo-Saxon womanhood
oners another explanation. in The old
Saxon marriage: After the
the brides father. or guardian, gave
the purchase-money TO her husband,
receiving from him in return a wea. or
security, that he was willing TO fulfill
his part Of the bargain, whence comes
III modern word wedding. For this
settlement the brides friends made
themselves responsible, and could be
called upon 10 refund the money IL the
rather failed 10 pay it. The father then
gave the brides shoe e the husband,
who touched his wife on the head with
1t, as a sign that he claimed marital
authority over her, and that he took
her future maintenance and guardian
ship on himself. This explains the
origin Of the custom that we still re-
tain Of throwing old shoes on the we'd
d~jng-day after the departing couple.
May We connect with this custom the
German phrase for a Jomineering wife
that she carries the slipper?

ROAD GATE.

has proved himself a hero Of peace,
and whose name should be remembered
by the people of hi3 country with all
the gratitude they willingly bestow up
on the heroes of our armies. One Of the
great rivers of Texas is the Brazos, a
stream subject TO vast floods, which
often rise so suddenly that the people
living near it have no time to escape
the rush of the waters. In early times
a colony OF franciscan friars estab-
iished a mission on a mound near the
bank of the river. They built a church
and a village, and taught the neighbor-
ing Indians. A hostile tribe, however,
swept over the country, ravaging and
burning, and there seemed TO be no
salvation for the friars and their con-
verts behind the feeble defences OF
their mound. But Of a sudden the wa
tiers OF the river rose, and terrible
floods swept away the savages and
saved the little garrison. Then the
friars. so the story goes, saw plainly
the working OF the Lord, and they
called the river which had enveloped
them Los Brazos de Dio-The Arms OF
God. But the Brazos is not always
merciful. During the recent foods In
Texas It's waters played a mighty part
In the destruction of life and property.
One night, as the food was beginning
to oyerspread the farming lands, a
young man named Fritz MCGEE was
Weakened by the distant roar. He rose
hurried out, and after some difhcuity,
secured q single frail rowboat ana
started alone on the work OF rescue
All through that terrible night ne
worked among the negro cabins scat
tered over the flooded bottoms, and De-
fore morning he had escued seventy
Eve human beings, men, women anu
children. and had conveyed them to
high and safe ground. 1t Is doubtful
whether a single man ever before saved
so many lives, one by one, in SO snort
a time. Fritz McGee, farmland, row.
ing his fragile skiff through the dark
ness over the turbulent water Is d ns-
ure to stir the Modest feelings

a specimen of a petrifed joint OF n
mastodon, which measures 10 inches

was found near Flint Rock. Butte,

MY LADY'S TREASURES.
Love Letter Desks That Are Also Jewel
Caskets and Safes.

The desk Of the day is as daintily
Intricate a bit of workmanship as the
most romantic maiden could wish for,
says the New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser. 1t is slim and frail or solid
and stolid, according TO the style, the
wood and the decorations, but 1t is
always interesting. If it is a replica
of a Flemish desk with many deep
drawers for strings Of pearls, heir
looms in the form OF rolls Of silk,
packets Of lace or perhaps ven a bag
of goldl, it is carved deliberately.
Grifins and p~uffy-cheeked Cupids,
roses and tulips, leaves and torches
stand out black and shining, set of
perhaps by the yellow CLEAN Of pol
ished brass. The cupboards and pig
eon-holes, wells" for precious docu-
ments, secret doors, invisible panels,
etc, that are found in these modern
desks would amaze and delight the
Withholding and understanding char
acters Of old novels. One OF the
dainty, demure little French desks has
a set OF drawers on either side of the
rack Of pigeon-holes. At touch Of a
spring one set Of drawers moves for
ward, showing a panel beneath them:
when this is slid out OF place one finds
q veritable jewel cave, spacious, vel
vet-lined and as safely hidden as it is
