THE RUSSIAN KNOUT.
A BRUTAL PUNISHMENT INFLICTED
IN Th CZAR'S DOMAIN.
Claim That IU lae la Some Beapecta Baa
Ilrea AbolUhed -The t'se of the Cruel
InotraneBt Deaeribed by a Political
Kxlle Who Baa Suffered la Siberia.
One never knows for" certain how
jnmh cf the kuout is left in modem
"Russia. The telegraph wire Mill at times
r.trries the horrid whiz ft it from re
mote Siberia, and only the other day I
paw mention in news from St. Peters
burg of a new imperial nknse, "abolish
ing the use of the knont for the paiiis-h-meutof
t.ffenses committed by the peas
antry, which has hitherto leu complete
ly at the mercy t.f the locsil judges in
tiiis re.'?ct."' I wa under the inipres
rion that the "local judges' had lvn
deprived of their knont for 20 years or
l;;ore, Lut the Pender eif this message
adds that "ftatistics were enhmittoi M
the czar, showing that in ten years 3,000
jn-rsous, mostly guilty of thefts of prod
uce, had died after punishment with the
In. rot."
Grunted the infliction of the knont,
the 3,0o0 deaths are easily believed.
The instrument itself, FUppiwing tliis re
port to I true, evidently dies harder
than its victims. But even iu Russia,
where the rod and its equivalents have
Lad a more extended ifd bloody esist--n-e
than ia any other European t-tatf,
the humaner spirit of the age has been
felt, and one is disposed to re-ptrd as ex
aggerated the statements just quoted.
Ortainly vre had Leon given to believe
that the knout was alxilished for all but
the gravert offense as long ago as 1SC6.
Hut Russia has never been governed
wholly by its written laws, and there
are regions of that empire where a ukase
may be slow to reach the "local judges. "
The merciful edict of lSOfl. however,
stopped short at the confines of Siberia,
and it was with the object of learning
to what extent the knout is used in the
Siberia ol t.xlay that I sought an inter
view with a distinguished and very in
teresting exile, M. Alexander Sochac
zewski, on a iit to England. II. So
chaczewski, a Pole by birth, an artist
liy profession, and in England to ar
range for the exhibition of a picture
vrhich will move the sympathies of ev
ery friend of the victims of the czar,
was a political exile in Siberia at tho
age of 21 and suffered 4 ( years in the
mines, during 2yS of which he carried,
night and day, chains of which marks
are permanently graven on his ankles.
Twenty years in all were the days of
Lis exile, aud he counts himself happy
that he did not, like so many cf his
comrades in oppression, perish tinder
that cruel yuko. Indeed he speaks with
out bitterness and 6ays that even in Si
Ieria one may often forget oneself.
M. Svchaczewski could say much about
the knout- lie had been many times a
v ituets of in infliction. ' The knout, in
fact, was in use in the niine-s during the
whole of M. Socbaczewski's exile, and
thuse who were condemned to it suffered
in public.
At tho present day M. Sochaczewski
Itlie-ve-d that it was practically abolish
ed in 1893, but the governor retains a
certain discretionary power, which may
tiican much in Siberia. Would L So
cliaczev.-fki describe the punishment?
lie took a In If sheet of note paper and a
In and male a rapid sketch. "That is
the knout," he said. A baud of leather,
as is well known, serves the execu
tioner for a handle, and the knout it
pelf is a single thong of leather, rough
and very hard, tapering toward the ex
tremity, where it is weighted with a
l ull of lead. With this the executioner
who is generally a reprieved murder
er can iufiie-t as great or as little suf
fering as he pleases.
"Thus," said M. Sochaczewski, "the
jirisoners would some-times give him a
ruble to prove his skill, when he would
strike one of them, apparently with full
force, across the palm of the hand, but
the blow would scarcely be felt and
would not leave a scratck With the
same instrument hecould Lill at a single
stroke, and was occasionally bribed by
a condemned prisoner to do so, breaking
the ribs and almost tearing out the
heart.
What ncir ber of strokes, I asked M.
Sochaczewskt, were ordinarily inflicted?
lie replie-d t!iat it was cf no great con
sequence, inasmuch as pmiihhmeut with
tho knont was generally regarded as a

.s.-:ii!e, if the executioner did not eai
j.loy his whole art or strength, for the
victim to escape death, but he would
then inevitably be a cripple for the ret
f his life. The-re were mcu iu the hos
pital iu his time whom the knont had
uiaiuiexl forever.
I asked whether the knout exhausted
the resources of penal discipline iu Si
beria, "liy no means," said XL So

DRINK WITH MEALS.
Liquid Food aa Aid to Digention, and Cold
Itrinks Refresh Heated Persona.
The incessant adjuration not to drink
with meals we have always held tho re
verse of truth from theory and from ex-periene-e.
The Litter is that dry meals
cause heartburn, the former shows that
splitting up the meal ;f 6olid food with
liquid acts precisely like splitting logs
tif wood into kindling for the lire, giving
the digestive fluid easy access to the
small particles, instead of sizzling and
making gas e-.u the outside ef a wad of
thick paste. And the talk of diluting the
gastric juice is uon.sen.se, because tho
surplus fluid drains quickly through the
stomach. Better drink too much than
too littla
We are glad now to be re-enforced by
an English sporting man, Mr. Horace
Hayes, who says that drinking nothing
during or for an hour and a half after
meals is the let of ways to train down
weight, but he cannot do it because it
always brings on rheumatism probably
from the solid food producing overcon
centrated salts in the circulation, and
consequent deposits in the muscular
liber. The same write' 6ays that the no
tion about animals being injere-d by giv
ing them a driiik when heated is a stupid
and cruel piece of barbarism; that it
only does them harm when tlm drink is
ve-ry cold, by producing nervous shocks
as it would to a man, while if the chill
is taken off it first, it refreshes a he'ated
horse to take a good drink just as it dix-s
a heated human being. Travelers' Rec

THE SICKROOM NURSE.
Her Datlea, Iter Authority and Her rov
er For Evil or Ciood,
No person lias greater power for evi
or for good than hu3 the uurse in the
sickroom. Her actual authority U eeer
ond to that of tbephysie'ian, but her op
portunities for exercising it are almost
onlimitenL If a physician in a country
town wishes to secure a trained uurse,
he should telegraph or write to the
nurses' directory, to some hospital or
physician whom lie knows, in the near
est adjacent city, stating for what sert
of a case he will require a nurse, what
he will pay and when he will require
her. Such a message should secure foi
liiru alniert immediately whatever serv
ice he requires.
The traits of character which make
the ideal nurso are patience, obedience,
tact and good sense and temper. The
nurse's costume should consist cf a cam
bric or seersucker gown, with white
cap, cuffs and apron. Woolen gowns
fehonld never lie ermitted in a sickroom.
Her authority is absolute of tor the phy
sician's. She must obey his instructions
to the letter, even if they are against
her judgment She has no discretion m
the matter.
Bat the patient and tlie patient's fam
ily must obey her. Sho must never be
allowed to elisobey tho physician a or
ders, and tho first symptom of any such
be:havior should be rejiorted immediate
ly to the physician. All his instructions
with reference to tieatmeut, diet and
care should bo followed faithfully. The
fact that her patient is a man should
make no difference in her behavior in
the sickroom. He is a patient, not a
man, and sho a nurse, not a woman.
Whenever a burse disobeys a physician's
orders or behaves in any manner which
renders her dismissal advisable, the
family or the patient should request the
d'jetor to discharge her nt once and to
supply hersubstituta A word from him
is sufficient to insure her departure.

Unwrapped a Mummy.
This story Ix-gan more thau 2,000
years ago on the banks of the Nile, and
the end is not yet. It concerns the
life, and more than the life, of an
Egyptian woman, and another chapter
was written in her history yesterday
afternoon at the Woman's college, of
Baltimore, when Presuleiit (joucher
took ofT the wrapping in which her
mumitied liody lias rested undisturbed
through all the ages of time since the
Ptolemies ruled over KgypL What
will lie the end of it all no one know,
but it seems tolerably certain that the
mummy will find a pe-rmunent re-sting
place right here in Baltimore in the
college museum, where the fair stu
dents and the college visitors can gaze
upon the form and feature of au "old
time woman."
Dr. C!oucher secured this mummy
and another while in Kgypt last win
ter through the kindness tf Brugseli
Boo, the director of the famous museum
at Gizch, near the pyramids, where the
best and most valuable of the relie-s of
ancient Kgypt have liet'ii collected dur
ing the past ton years. They had Uvn
found iu the enormous tombs at Fav
um on the Nile. One of the two secur
ed by Dr. Cloudier is supiosed to le a
girl who was connected with the royal
family of an early dynasty. Its exter
nal dee-orations are much more elabor
ate than the other, and altogether it
has the aiqiearance of having lie-en em
balincd with much more care and ex
pense than the one which was uu wrap
ped yesterday. This was probably a
woman of the middle class.
The process f removing the wrap
pings and getting down anywhere near
the mummy consumed the best part of
an hour. The mummy was taken out
of the gaudily decoratesl case in which
it had re-ste-d for 2,(K0 year aid was

the man I would leave him kmim? qui
nine, and wax u!ut to undo the pack
age when he stopped me with a gesture
and said:
"Stranger, we ain't e-liillin airshucks,
hut thar is the-m lieyand us that ar'.
Ix-ave me a plug of terliackcr and save
ye-r kee-nine fur wusser cases."
n the doorstep of the next cabin sat
a lone man. He was trying to scraie
the lirk off a sassafras root, but he
shook and ahivi-rvd so hard that he
e-otild make no progress. I told him I
had some quinine as a free gift, but he
held up his shaking bunds and re
plied: "Stranger, this hain't no chlllln to
le e-ured by ke-e-nine, but is jist n irv
ousness for the want of a sip of whisky.
You'll find chiiiin further down the
road."
I gave him a sip from my flask, and
at the next cabin found a woman and
two children on the led and two more
children on the floor. The woman sat
up in bed and shivered and shook and
clicked her teeth together, and as I ex
plained the objeet of my -ali she re
plied: "Powerful kind o' yo', stranger, but
thar is them as need it further on."
"Hut haven't you chills anil fever."
"Wa-U, sorter, but nuthiu to brag of.
I reckon the most that ails me is the
want of snuff. If you'll lie so kind as
to le-ave me a pinch or two, I'd be
mighty peart in an hour eir so."
During the day's ride eif 21 miles I
dispensed whisky, snuff, tobacco and
pixs several time over, but no qui
nine. At the last cabin liefore I reach
ed Marion I found a man stretched out
on the bel, and tied fast. His hands
were as cold as iee, his lips as blue as if
painted, and his shakes not only shook
the U-d but the whole cabin as well.
"Tied he un on so he un couldn't
shake off," explained his wife.
"I set. He has it pretty IkkI. I will
leave all this quinine with you, and it
ought to cure him in a week or two."
"Kee-nine! What's that fur.'"
To cure chills and fever. I'll fix a
elose for him at one."
"Stranger, don't Uuhcr," she said as
I U-gan at the package.
'Ihit he wants to le cure-d?"
"Yes, reckon he docs, but don't Iwth
er w ith that keetiine. If yo'd got a
drop o' whisky and a plug o' terbae-ke-r

A handsome young woman with a
beautiful little girl of 4 years sat in a
crowded Market street ear ye-ste-rday.
"You've giit ii mamma's ejre-ss,
haven't you, Aunt Aice?" remarked
the child.

" Ye-s, the last time mamma wore that
dress down town she bought me a bal

"Yes, if you'll lie good."
"h, I'll be good. Do you like mam

pretty, Aunt Aliie."
"There-, ben good girl. Hi-e that wo
man out tlit-re with a little girl."
Tiit-re was a iieriod of silence and
Aunt Alice breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the child inquired :
"lid mamma say you coull wear her
pin, Aunt Alice? bhe wouldn't let me
wear it, 'canst he was afraid I would
lose it."
"Y,s i if coiir-e. Io Ik- tjtliet, Nellie."1

were iae destiny of Mr. Edwardson.
He fought for t!:e Union and was on the
v.inning side. Since then the s'rugjj'e
bss litcn a j-crscnal one, a struggle for
health. Ju-.t cs in his war days the
bullets of lead coiifpiered the enemy,
while now 'ti:; the "bullets of health"
thut defeat the greatest foenian to man
kind. We will let Mr. Edwardson tell
of this later struggle as he told it to our
representative, lie says: "The founda
tiem of ray complaint was laid during n:y
campaign in the army. The hardship
and exposure I was subjected to left nie
r.s it has so many others, with kidney
ailments. I have struggled against it
unsuccessfully until I formed an alliance
with Doan's Kidney Pills. I got so had
last year that I had given up work alto
gether. The greatest pain I suffered was
right across my kidneys. Physicians
were consulted and they said my trouble
was from my kidneys, but tbey failed to
help me. I was often caught with sharp,
shooting pains right through the back.
At times this pain was terrible. If it had
been with mc always I could not have
rndurcd it, The urine showed my
I 'lection, and passed with such a scalding
feeling. When arising in the morning I
could hardly straighten myself for some
time. This condition has all been
changed. I got some Doan's Kidney
Pills at Griffith's drug store and they very
soou brought about a difference in my
feelings. The pain in my back and kid
neys gradually went away and the scald
ing, smarting sensation in the urine has
disappeared. Doan's Kidney Tills have
been particularly valuable in my case and
I feel very grateful to the manufacturers
of them for the wonderful good they
have done me."
