foarful Tortures.

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 of the finger
nails by means OF small chisel or
bradawl. which is showed in slowly but
firmly from the finger tip downward
under the quick. of the nail, which Is
then lifted up and out. This is an
other that I 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 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
hfcked on his back. This seldom fails
10 fnd any mans tongue. The above
are the chief forms of "fahana," or tor
ture. for the purpose Of eliciting in
formation. but 1t must be stated that
such infections as nipping Of noses,
tearing out tongues or splitting eye
balls do not come under the bead of
"fahana," they being punishments
rather than torturss.-Londeu Stand

DUST.

For uncoun.ed years at about this
time the vile dust of New Haven has
begun to blow, carrying with it disease
and death to many and distress to all
the neat housewives and the careful
merchants. 1t has begun to blow this
year, with old-time vigor and permea-
ton. But thanks unto goodness, and
also unto the court of common council
it will not long blow unhindered this
spring. Tomorrow is the day set for
attack upon it by the sprinklers, and
unless the Lord mercifully sprinkles the
streets to-day or tomorrow it is to be
hoped that man will tackle the job
Just as soon and az efficiently as the
law allows. 1t will be fine to go
through tho gentleness Of spring in
New Haven without the usual dust
storms. 1t is not only dangerous but
it is very huniliating for a true New
Havener to have dust blown on and
into him. 1t is too sharp reminder of
what the poet means when he says:
The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armour against fate,
Death lays his Icy hands on kings.
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade
True enough, perhaps, but we who
are the real thing in New Haven don't
want to be reminded by daily clouds of
dust that the glories of our blood and
state are not substantial and that we
shall ultimately and dustily be made
equal with the poor crooked scythe and
spade.

MORE TROUBLE ron TURKEY

AS Turkey Is always in trouble 1t is
not surprising to find the correspondent
of the London Standard at Vienna say
ing that Abdul Hamid has been afraid
all along that the South African war
might have evil consequences for him
self. AS soon as it began, the Russian
ambassador pressed for promise that
no railroad concessions regarding lines
i'm which Russia takes interest should
be given to any one except Russian
contractors. 1t is reported in ConStan-
tinople that the Sultan rather hastily
gave such a promise, and that he is now
much perturbed. especially in view of
the Russian loan to Persia. 1t is sug
gested that one way out of the diff
Guilty would be to refuse to give his
final sanction to the concession for the
Bagdad railroad-not ye! formally
granted to the Germans-and to say
that in future Turkey will construct and
manage every railroad in the empire.
The trouble is that everybody knows
that Turkey cannot undertake such a
task. 1t is to be expected, therefore,
that both Germans and Russians Will
get their concessions, and that Turkey
will fall gradually more and more under
their influence unless she can find sup
port and assistance elsewhere. 1t is
plain, says the correspondent that she

Are women admirably adapted to the
work OF rent collectors? OF course
They are admirably adapted to any
thing, and Mrs. Alice Lincoln. who
knows all about them, says they can
collect rents with neatness and dis
patch She points out that women
have time enough to make rent collect
ing business, and that it is the duty
Of the woman agent to investigate the
character Of every applicant for rooms
She should never allow habitual intern
perance or immortality in a tenement.
In urging the value of house to house
collection of rent, instead of remaining
in an office and receiving rents there,
Mrs. Lincoln says that through the
house to house plan the agent comes
into more personal and friendly con-
tact with tenants, and can really act as
their adviser, and find many ways In
which to help them. The agent should
visit tenants not only on rent days.
but at other times when the visit would
be unexpected.
To do good while collecting rents
would be noble Few male collectors
succeed in doing much good while col
lecting, and they often find it hard to
impress tenants with the idea that they
mean we'll by them. Women collectors
would have no difficulty in mngling
benevolence and beneficence with rent
collecting, and they would soon make
vast and needed change in the rela-
lions between owners and tenants.

out silk is good investment just now
for 1t can be worn with many different
underbodices and skirts. White Is the
more generally useful, though it may
be as we'll to have black one, too.
Some of the late winter notions in
elaborate dress stuffs that were first
advanced at almost prohibitive prices
have already been brought within the
means of women who do not try to be
exclusive in their stylishness. Black
cloth covered all over with designs Of
applied black taffeta Is to be had by the
yard at reduced price, and black net
mounted with all-over taffeta figures Is
sold reasonably. The result Is that the
ready made gown with such taffeta on
cloth is selling at a price that spells its
exclusive if not it's artistic value. For
yokes and sleeves the net with taffeta
applied is very pretty. White cloth
with all-over application of black panne
velvet, the velvet edged with a black
and white cord, is a variation of the
idea that, because Of it's price, it is in
small danger of becoming common.

Nerve and Resource.
Speaking of nerve" said one of the

me of Chief McClaughry of Chicago.
He used to be warden down at the
state penitentiary, down in Joliet, and
he had the reputation of being the cool
est man in Illinois. He was as shifty
as any of the men he had to handle and
az quick and calm about it as regu-
lar Sherlock Holmes. Nothing could

The Disease Of Love.

He had to slave all day,
When the skies We're dark or blue;
Though well he toiled away
. His work was never through. w..
The railnent that he wore
Was patched and old ana frayed;
The burdens that he bore
He carried undlsmayeq,
And when the darkness fell
He put his work aside
And hurried home pell~mell,
Gladfaced and eager-eyed.
He loved and bravely bore
The load he had to bear;
Contentment found his door
And boldly entered there.
Yet doctors wisely say
Loves only n disease
Good Lord, make love, | pray,
Contagious, If you please!

The gradual improvement in the be-
havior of Boston prisoners is reported
by Ernest c. Marshall, the city's penal
commissioner, and he ascribes it to the
kind firmness exercised by the prison
officials. This Improvement he meas
ures by the decrease in punishments.
Last year at Deer Island 800 prisoners
were punished, the total days of pun
ishment numbering 1,103, while in 1893
1,137 prisoners suffered 1896 days of
punishment. AS marked d contrast is
shown by the reports from the institu-
ton at South Boston. In addition to
indicating a better state of discipline
these figures show a decrease in per-
sonal sufferings among the prisoners,
and gratifying growth of humanity
in penal institutions. In this changed
treatment the commissioner finds also
an important aid towards reformation
Justice with kindness in discipline he
finds from experience, produces in pris-
oners an increase of self-respect, which
tends to their moral elevation.

More asphalt Needed, Not Less.

10 the Editor of the Journal aud Courier:
May lady who has lived for some
time on one of New Ravens much crit
icised asphalted streets cay word IN
favor of this improved method OF paw
ing? What we need is not less of 1t, but
more. Then instead of there being so
much traffic over the few streets that
are asphalted there would be dlstribu-
ton of travel, and the streets that are
now made thoroughfares for every KIND
and condition of vehicle would be re-
lieved from the heavy travel which they
are compelled to bear. Does not this
very ice of the streets show that they
are appreciated? Like all modern inn
provements, they require care, and very
constant and systematic care. Could
not some of our city fathers make
study of the care given to asphalted
streets in few of our larger and less
provincial cities and then apply the
rules to. our own? Let us remember
that when plumbing was first introduce
ed into houses there wac great cutlery
against that, but now how many of US
would be without it? With proper care
the asphalted street Is the model one.
and what we need is more Of. them and
not less. A HOUSEKEEPER. n
