Funishment 1n rersia. Among the Persians the usual mode of punishment is the bastinado, from which men of the highest rank are not exempt. It is inflicted with very great severity, 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 a pole, which is raised horizontally by men, who, twisting it round. tighten the ropes and render the feet immovable. Two executioners then strike the sole alter- nately with switches of the pomegra- nate tree well steeped in water to ren- der them supple. A store of these switches is generally ready for use in the pond which adjoins the courtyards of the houses of the great. The pun- ishment frequently lasts for an hour or until the unfortunate victim faints from pain. Heckling Humor. A parliamentary candidate was hold- ing a meeting in Auld Reekie at which the beckler was much in evidence, and the embarrassed candidate failed to zive a single answer which was judged to be satisfactory by the audience. To- ward the end of the meeting an elector rose and quietly asked. *Sir, would you tell us what might be the name your second initial stands for?"” The unfor- tunate candidate, greatly puzzled at the purport of the question, asked in what way the information could inter- est the audience. *In this way.” ex- plained the interrogator—*we should e able to see if you could answer one question!’—London Tatler. An.Easy Cure. A correspondent for a local paper writes that his sister sent him four fun lines which are guaranteed to cure any case of strenuosity in the family. The lines are to be repeated three times heartily in the face of any domestic difficulty. Here they are: The dog is in the pantry; The cat is in the lake; The cow is in the hammock. ‘What difference does it make? —Nautilus. More Interesting. “Were you interested in that ac- <ount of the Washington man who suddenly disappeared?” “Well. I'd have been more interested m an account of a man who gradusally disappeared.” Two Signs. “To snuff a candle out accidentally 4s a sign of marriage.” “Yes, and to turn down a lamp in- tentionally is a sign of courtship.” Many persons find themselves affected with a persistent cough after an attack of influenza. As this cough can be promptly cured by the use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, it should not be allowed to run on until it becomes troublesome. Sold by Barker’s Drug Store.
