MOROCCO USES THE LASH FLOGGING TO DEATH l STILL IN U8E AMONG THE MOORS SPAIN AND AUSTRIA" TRANOLE THE CONDEMNED.-'

There are. many i-urlon methods of

inflicting -.capital puninumcnt in the vsrtous. count rir.o' the old world, some of them tinged with the cruelty f too daft -age; V' Morocco. I perhaps the moat mediaera! country la existence; Flogging to death la at 111 In rogue. It la not bo very long ago that Mulnl Ilafld had tba Sbereef Klttoln executed in thla bonibla fssblon. Tba amear of Afghanlatan haa peculiar methods of .making the punishment fit tba crime. A baker, for Belling abort weight, waa roasted In hla wn oven, and man who had started arara that the Russians were dsoring on Kabul waa placed on a tool faatened on top of a tall pole nd kept tbare on sentry go till be died of aleepleaaneaa and exhauatlon. Political crlmea are not uncommon la Persia and the reTolutlonlsta, when caught, are dealt with aummarily. Four conspirators who were recently caught Id the act of throwing a bomb In the crowded Itasar at Teheran were hanged and quartered In the same faehlon that prevailed In England up to the eaten teen th century. The remains of the wretched men were hung t the city gates aa a horrible warning. An Austrian officer convicted of poisoning hla superior offlcera In the attempt to win promotion waa aentenced to be strangled. Austria la the only country which employe thla particular method of ex cut Ion. but Spaln'a gnrrote la very similar. The original method of garrot In g waa. In fact, nothing but strangling. The criminal waa seated on a chair fixed to post, a loop of rope .was placed encircling hla neck 'and the post, snd by means of a stick or cudgel (BpanUh garrote") Inaerted between the post snd the .'condemned xesn's neck the cord r was tightened antll strangulation ensued. . , The modern gnrrote-. consists! of 's brass collar coutnlulng a sharp pointed screw. The executioner, turns the screw, and Its Mnt . penetrates the spinal marrow, causing, instant death.

Florence, . Neb.,- Oct 1. Joseph Pearson is no longer an advocate of the theory that carrying a rabbit's foot In the left hip pocket brings good luck. Pearson had been having a run of bad luck.
