Residents Vie with One Another in Making Them P-esentante. Bicyclists who have ridden much on the asphalt streets of German cities say that the tendency to “side slip” is there much less marked than on sim- ilar pavements in this country. The explanation of this fact may possibly lie in the statement which is made by the American consul at: Bresiau that the asphalt streets in that city are regularly washed, the purpose of the washing being to remove the slime which the asphait seems to leave and to keep the street from being slippery. The washing has the further effect of preserving and hardening the asphalt. The care taken of the asphalt by the city authorities contrasts strongly with the methods usually adopted in the United States. For instance, the space in front of the consulete is di- vided into four squares, which are in charge of one man> After cleaning the streets eatly in the morning he wheels out a barrow load cf very fine, sharp sand and seatters it lightly over the streets to prevent slipping. On rainy days the process is repeated sev- eral times. Once a week the whole street is sluiced and _ thoroughly washed with sprinkling carts. These are followed by ample roiler brushes, which sweep the water and slime. into the gutter, whence it is carted away. After this the man who has charge of the street comes alcng with his wheel- “barrow and sand sprinkler. In spring or autumn, when the streets are often sloppy and wet, the washing is done several times during the week. Tortured Spanish Prisoners. - In view of the inquiry which it is understood has been granted by* the Spanish government into the charges of torturing prisoners in the casemates of Montjuich, in Spain, it may be of interest to set out some of the items in the indictment made against the authorities. It is \said, in the first place, that a reward of 10,000 pesetas was offered to any jail official who could extort an avowal of guilty from a prisoner. Acting under this stimu- lus the jailers are stated to have forced the wretched creatures under their control to run round their cells day and night for eighty hours at a stretch, heavy whips being used to keep the victims awake. The officials are also said te have deprived them of all food save sait stock fish and ardent spirits, confession being the price of a glass of water. Not a few paid it, slaked their thirst, and, it is contend- ed, were summarily shot. It is further alleged that wedges were driven under the nails of the prisoners with ham- mers and allowed to remain until the nails sloughed away. Ev2n more hor- rible mutilations are stated not to have been uncommon. One of the most cruel devices was, it is affirmed, a machine like a diver’s helmet, fitted with a tube allowing the victim to breathe, while a screw cojpressed slowly the sides and top, thus produc- ing inconceivable agony. . One pris- oner, Moras, is stated to have under- gone this torture more than once, and to have been driven mad by. it. Surnames in Ireland. One of the curiosities of recent philo- Jogical literature is the appendix to the 1893 report of the British registrar- general, which bears the suggestive ti- tle, “Surnames in Jrelard.” From that compilation one who has an eye for the curious may glean facts an¢ figures for a most interesting article. For in- stance it is shown that the most com- mon name on the Emerald Isle is Mur- phy, the number of persons, great and small, who bear the cognomen being 62,600. The following come next in or- der of frequency: Kelly, 55,900; Sulli- van, 43,600; Walsh, 41,700; Smith, 37,000; O’Brien, 33,400; Byrne, 33,200; Ryan, 32,000; Connor, 31,200; O’Neil, 29,110, and Reilly, 29,000. ‘As an extra precaution every cooking school should be run in connection with an eating school. y 4 1 | HERALD-REVIEW Sa COUR Fs GES PE DORR MATTE ATER a PO TE NS ASA SS RET ATT LIEADSTSLS oP ANTES THE GRAND RAPIDS NZ ZO Official Paper of Itasca County and Village of Grand Rapids.
