AboIlshIna Rarbarous Punishment.

1t was sixty years ago that England
abolished fogging at sea; it has long been
abolished in our army and navy; and now
the car of Russia has abolished the
harshest remnants of the barbaric punish
ments of former times, namely, castiga-
ton with cudgels and cato mine tails,
claiming to the car, and shaving the head,
offenses on persons exiled to penal settle
ments or to the mines. Castigation with
the cato -nine-tails and even with cudgels
not infrequently ended in death, and was
one of the harshest forms of the death
penalty, being death by torture. The abo-
lition Of the cudgel and of the cat" does
not, however, mean the prohibition of
corporal punishment altogether. The re-
vised statute of June Is prescribes chas-
tisement with birch rods up to one hum
dred blows. Barbaric punishment can be
inflicted by birch rods, If not as severely
as by cat or cudgel. The better way
would be to abolish punishment by fagef-
Iation ltogether.-Leslie's Weekly.

PICKED RAILROAD TIES.
A Process That Makes Them Last Twice
as Long as Formerly.

The rapid decrease in the supply of
timber and the consequent rise in price
have forced Western railroad companies
to seek some method of prolonging the
life of the wooden ties. Years ago tie
cost only a few cents. Nowadays it cannot
be Bought for less than 20 cents.
The Burlington officials think they have
solved the problem by picking the ties.
and so confident are they that it is a pay
ing proposition that a large amount of
money has been expended in establishing
picking plants at various points.
AS the blood Of the body is removed
in embalming and replaced by a pre-
serving fluid SO the sap of the wood is
extracted from the ties and replaced with
a solution of zinc chloride. Not only is
the sap taken out, but the solution perme-
ates the cells of. the fiber and upon drying
deposits the mineral so evenly that they
are protected against the action of the
outside moisture to such an extent that
the life of the tie is more than doubled
Fifty thousand ties month are picked
in the main plant at Sheridan, Wyo. The
saving is considerable. To pickle tie
costs from 10 to IL cents, but whereas Or
egon fir, the lumber now generally used
rots in four years, the treated ties last
from eight to twelve years.
