From the Wide World Magazine.
The terrible deeds that once made Box
hara a byword are now prohibited by the
Russian government. Prisoners are not
permitted, for instance. to be dragged
through the streets by galloping horses.
Nor are they thrown from the top Of the
high tower called the Minar Katan. This
was the usual punishment melted out to
evildoers in the old days. Watched by
thousands of spectators. the poor
wretches were flung from that giddy
height on to the fiagstones beneath.
Bokhara has many chambers of hor-
rors. unwhoIesome for western eyes to
see, and the description of which would
certainly be unfit for publication. Per-

where prisoners were tortured by vermin,
which were SO numerous and ravenous
that In the absence of human prey they
were fed on chunks of raw meat.
