Baluchi Women Fare
111 in Divorce Cases
Peshawar, India.—Divorce used to
he 1111 easy matter in Baluchistan, the
llilie-known state which lies Just ovoi

south of Afghanistan.
All n Baluchi had to *U was to np
pear before tlie local court or ".lirga,'
composed of a committee of respected
elders, and state that his wife was an
faithful. He would at once lie grant¬
ed a divorce, which, incidentally, gave
him the lawful rigid to kill her.
It was argued that any man who
submits to the indignity of aoknovrl
edging his wife's unfaithfulness must
have true cause. No opportunity was
offered the woman to stale her case
Now (here are changes. Western!
gallon of the East, so strongly sup
ported tiy King Ainamillah of"Afghan
Istnn. lias crept smith, and Baluchis
are grumbling that the new divorce
laws are not nearly so Satisfactory as
the old.
According to the present, .system l
the woman is allowed u> give ovi
deuce in her own defense.
liven so, the odds are against her
I lie -lirga is composed of men. and;
is all-powerful in Baluchistan. There
Is no redress from faulty verdicts
The accused, when found guilty, has !

How Phrase “To Walk
Spanish” Is Explained
“To walk Spanish" refers to un old
sport, among hoys in which one boy
seizes another by the collar or the
scruff of the neck and the seat of the
trousers and forces him along on Mp
toe. "To walk turkey" is used In the
same sense. Apparently the former ex¬
pression originated in New England
At ally rale, Hie earliest known uses
of “to. walk Spanish” occur In writ¬
ings from that section. The applica¬
tion of “Spanish" in the phrase is
obscure, tr may, as some suppose,
allude 10 (he manner iu which the
old Spanish pirates are reputed to
have handled their prisoners when
starting them out on Hie plank. “To
walk Spanish” lias .acquired a large
variety' of 'meanings In’popular par
lame. We make another walk Span¬
ish wlicn we discharge him from his
job, when we make him step along
gingerly, or when we compel him to
do anything against Ms will. Likewise
a person is said to walk Spanish when
he struts, arid also when he walks.with
fin unsteady gait. Wore- .often the
b’rm is equivalent., .to “toe the tine"

How Emerald* Are Mined.
A great many of tlie emerald* oil
the market today are obtained from
t)ie republic of Colombia. Tlie Muz«
emeralds of Hint country occur in cal
cite veins. The bank may prove worth¬
less after months of work, for no one
can estimate tlie probable value of
any particular section of a deposit. In
this way emerald mining Is different
from most, other branches of the in¬
dustry. The fools used ore steel bars
about five feet long, weighing SO
pounds, and shovels. The bars are
forged to a point at one end and made
wedge-shaped on the' other. Great
care must be exercised in mining em¬
eralds owing to the risk of breaking
them. Skilled natives are generally
employed lo do this work.
