The Verdict.

The lecture was over. and the gen.
tleman who did the talking strained
his ears as he followed the audience
out of the hall to gather In. so far as
he could. what sort of an lmpress'ou
he had made AS he drew near to the
doorway Two old gentlemen who were
making their way out just ahead OF
him rendered verdict.

"I've heard worse said Banbside.
"Did you think 1t was al all ilinml'

Punishment In Persia.

Among the Persiaus the usual mode
of punishment is the hastiuado, from
which men OF the highest rank are not
exempt. 1t is inflicted with very great
sey Gritty, frequently so as to render the
sufferer almost a cripple for life. The
victim Is thrown upon his face, and
each foot is passed through a loop OF
strong cord attached to pole. which
IS raised horizontally by men, who.
twisting 1t round. tighten the ropes
and render the feet immOvable Two
executloners then strike the sole alter
nately with switches Of the pomegra-
nate tree we'll STEPPED IN water to rem
der them supple. A store OF these
switches Is generally ready for use In
the pond which adjOlns the courtyards
Of the houses Of the great. The pun
lshment frequently lasts for an hour
or until the unfortunate victim faints
from pain.

and bitterly fought campaigns. with
millions of dollars at stake. Success
brings such man no happiness. Look
at him. How many of you. my friends,

The onion has been so long In cult
walton that its Original form is not def
initely known. There are 50 called
wild onions that grow In the woods.
Nobody ever tastes them but once. and
there is about the taste no suggestion
that cultivation or anything else could
ever make them grateful to the human
palate. In all probability the onion Is
native of western Asia and adjacent
parts Of Africa. since it is mentioned
In old Egyptian writings and the Pen

are progressing slowly by combina-
ton of causes. Egress must be kept
open for the fire department in front
of the World building. So the con-
tractors, Wetzel & Foster, cannot
start digging toward Orondo until the
half block toward Palouse is fin
ished up with pipe laid and ditch
filled.
A force of 80 men is now employ
ed by the sewer contractors, but they
do not know how many can be held
or for how long. The heat is very
trying on the men and they are in
clined to quit after several days of
the ordeal. For this reason it is i'm
possible to estimate when the job
will be finished.
Allen & McNerney, the paving con-
tractors, are more or less delayed by
the sewer work. They are now grad
ing between Yakima and Spokane
streets, but would employ much lar
ger force and push the work more
rapidly if there were good prospects
of an early completion of the sewer
job.
Wetzel & Foster announce that
work will start tomorrow on Column
bia street sewer. The job has been
sublet to a number Of Italians-20
of them. They have been given a
deal whereby they will make little
better than wages, while the con-
laborers and getting faster and bet
ter work from them.
