2) According to Statistics Canada (2008) what is a characteristic of population growth in
Canada?
A) Rural Canada has the highest proportion of immigrants.
B) Populations are decreasing in areas around lakes and mountains.
C) Rural areas have larger populations of children and youth and seniors than do urban areas.
D) The Aboriginal population has the fastest-growing natural increase.
Answer: D
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Rural Canada has the lowest proportion of immigrants, including new immigrants
and visible minorities; 95.9% live in urban regions (Statistics Canada, 2008a).
B) Incorrect. Populations are growing in areas around lakes and mountains—preferred areas for
many retiring "baby boomers."
C) Incorrect. Most rural communities have large populations of children and youth (0 to 19
years) and seniors (older than 60 years), in comparison with a somewhat smaller population of
working-age people (20 to 59 years). Overall, they are, for the most part, older than urban
populations.
D) Correct. The Aboriginal population is the fastest growing population in Canada, with most
being youth and children living in under-serviced Northern, rural, and remote communities
(Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, 2010). Nurses working in these regions
need to participate in policy and program initiatives to address health care inequities.

4) Which of the following has been a factor in hindering health care delivery in rural and
Northern areas?
A) Practitioners who are generalists
B) Ratio of health care staff to population
C) Mobile health services
D) Money being spent on infrastructure
Answer: B
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Health care providers in rural, remote, and Northern areas must possess a broad
generalized knowledge base to meet the diverse health care needs of the residents. The need to
maintain general practice skills covering all ages and all the conditions that clients or patients
can present with is a major challenge for rural nurses.
B) Correct. A major factor impeding health care delivery is the need to service a population that
is sparsely distributed over a large geographical area, with a limited number of health care
professionals.
C) Incorrect. "New models of interprofessional practice can be developed that are supportive of
the varied strengths of and resources available to rural and remote communities" (MacLeod et
al., 2004).
D) Incorrect. Limited infrastructure, including transportation and communication, hinders
effective care delivery.

5) Gloria, 18, who lives on a reserve, has been communicating with a mental health counsellor
using a computer in the health centre. What means of technology would be used for this
purpose?
A) Telemedicine
B) Blended-mode
C) Web-casting
D) Telehealth
Answer: D
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Telemedicine is the use of technology to transmit electronic medical data about
clients to persons at distant locations.
B) Incorrect. Blended-mode learning (a combination of face-to-face, videoconferencing, Internet,
paper-based, and web-casting) has mushroomed with technological advances and increased
access to high-speed Internet connections and videoconferencing capacity (Atack, 2003; Carter,
Rukholm, Mossey, Viverais-Dresler, Bakker, & Sheehan, 2006).
C) Incorrect. Web-casting is a way of broadcasting over the Internet.
D) Correct. Telehealth is the sharing of nursing information by using electronic means, such as a
telephone or the Internet, to answer consumers' questions.

6) What should a nurse understand about respiratory problems in rural agricultural areas of
Canada?
A) Better air quality in rural agricultural areas decreases the incidence of respiratory illnesses.
B) Healthy lifestyles in rural areas usually allow respiratory illnesses to resolve without
treatment.
C) Incidence of respiratory illnesses in rural areas is significantly higher than in urban areas.
D) Respiratory illnesses in rural areas are usually caused by zoonoses.
Answer: C
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Exposure to grain dust, wood smoke, and agricultural chemicals have all been
implicated as having immediate or long-term effects on the health of rural Canadians.
B) Incorrect. There is no scientific data to support this claim.
C) Correct. Respiratory disease is a common health problem among agrarian rural dwellers, and
rates of respiratory diseases are significantly higher across the board in rural communities,
compared with urban centres.
D) Incorrect. Zoonoses are diseases that are communicated from animals to humans, but are not
specific to the respiratory system.

wild game recently. In what classification is this illness?
A) Zoonotic
B) Viral
C) Bacterial
D) Autoimmune
Answer: A
Explanation:
A) Correct. Zoonotic illnesses are those that are transmitted from animals to humans. In Northern
and Arctic regions, trichinosis is a parasitic infection that is commonly found in wild game.
B) Incorrect. Trichinosis is not caused by a virus.
C) Incorrect. Trichinosis is not a bacterial infection.

10) Which of the following best describes a blended-mode of curriculum delivery?
A) Classes are offered both face-to-face and on the Internet.
B) Classes include cultural aspects of nursing in Aboriginal and farm communities.
C) The program is open to registered nurses, physiotherapists, and nutritionists.
D) The graduates of the program complete both a baccalaureate degree and a master's degree.
Answer: A
Explanation:
A) Correct. Blended-mode delivery is a mixture of face-to-face classroom and clinical work, plus
courses offered on the Internet. A graduate program with a focus on rural and Northern nursing
is offered through a blended-mode (face-to-face and online) delivery at Laurentian University in
Northern Ontario.
B) Incorrect. Although this may be true, it does not describe a blended-mode curriculum.
C) Incorrect. Interprofessional programs are not necessarily a blended-mode design. Laurentian
offers a unique interdisciplinary program at the doctoral level in rural and Northern health,
focusing on health services and health policy.
D) Incorrect. The term blended-mode does not mean an undergraduate and graduate degree
combination.

12) Which of the following describes an accurate demographic difference between rural and
urban Canadian populations?
A) Most rural communities have small populations of children and youth (0 to 19 years).
B) There is a trend for urban populations to attract more retirees.
C) Rural communities have older populations than do urban.
D) Both populations have similar age-related demographics.
Answer: C
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Most rural communities have large populations of children and youth (0 to 19
years).
B) Incorrect. Factors that contribute to the bimodal population age pattern include the aging of
the rural population, outmigration of rural youth for education and employment, and in-migration
of retirees (Pong, 2007).
C) Correct. Most rural communities have large populations of seniors (older than 60 years).

C) Lucas, 15, who inhales gasoline fumes, glues, and aerosols
D) Mr. Mohle, 33, who misuses prescription, nonprescription, and illicit drugs
Answer: D
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Over-consumption of alcohol only partially describes problematic substance use, as
alcohol is included within "nonprescription drugs" of the definition.
B) Incorrect. The use of cannabis and hallucinogens do not accurately describe problematic
substance use.
C) Incorrect. Inhalation of substances does not accurately describe problematic substance use.
D) Correct. Problematic substance use refers to the inappropriate use of prescription drugs and
nonprescription drugs (including alcohol) and the use of illicit drugs. The onset of problematic
substance use can be inadvertent and insidious. Commonly misused substances include tobacco,
alcohol, opioids, and a wide range of illicit drugs. In addition, the inhalation of various aerosol
products is a growing problem among Canadian youth, especially in the more remote regions.

14) Nurses studying in a rural nursing program read statistics describing the health of Canadians
living in rural-urban fringe zones. What do the statistics show regarding people living in these
zones?
A) Rural-urban fringe zones populations are healthier than people living in more remote regions.
B) Mental health issues are more frequently under-reported in urban, compared to rural,
populations.
C) Rural-urban fringe zones populations are more likely to have contaminated water supplies.
D) People living in more remote regions are healthier than those in the rural-urban fringe zones.
Answer: A
Explanation:
A) Correct. Rural-urban fringe zones are areas close to urban centres. Studies of the health status
of rural populations and the major determinants of health show that although health varied within
rural areas, generally speaking, the closer residents lived to urban centres, the better their health.
They further showed that what really discriminates urban from rural and areas within rural
regions are health determinants (socioeconomic) and the presence of specific health conditions,
such as respiratory disease, trauma, breast cancer, heart disease, infant mortality, smoking, and
obesity.
B) Incorrect. Rural communities tend to be more isolated from formalized health and social
services. The lack of anonymity within small communities and the fear of being stigmatized with
a mental health problem pressure some rural and Northern residents to keep their problems to
themselves.
C) Incorrect. Many remote and Northern residents continue to obtain their drinking water from
sources that are not treated to remove bacteria and parasites. This fact, coupled with inadequate
sewage disposal and contamination from livestock, has resulted in outbreaks of infection that are
most harmful to infants, children, older adults, and persons who are immunocompromised.
D) Incorrect. Rural-urban fringe zones are areas close to urban centres. Generally speaking, the
closer residents lived to urban centres, the better their health. They further showed that what
really discriminates urban from rural and areas within rural regions are health determinants
(socioeconomic) and the presence of specific health conditions, such as respiratory disease,
trauma, breast cancer, heart disease, infant mortality, smoking, and obesity.

15) A nurse-researcher is examining demographics and socioeconomics of rural farming
communities in Canada. Which of the following facts is true?
A) Rural areas that are reliant on commodities like mineral extraction or forestry are the most
secure.
B) The rural incidence of low income is similar to that of those living in urban areas.
C) Only in rural Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Nova Scotia is agriculture a major employment
sector.
D) Between 17% and 18% of the population of Canada live on farms.
Answer: B
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Rural areas that are reliant on such commodities as agriculture, forestry, or mineral
extraction for their economic welfare are subject to "boom and bust"economic changes that result
in a lack of predictable income. This lack of security can act as a major source of stress in rural
areas (Brannen, Johnson Emberly, & McGrath, 2009).
B) Correct. The rural incidence of low income is similar to that of those living in urban areas
(Bollman & Reimer, 2009). Rural employment has matched urban areas since 2001, after lagging
throughout the previous decade. The biggest employment increases occurred in Northern
Manitoba, followed by Athabasca, Alberta, driven by the development of the oil sands.
C) Incorrect. Only in Manitoba and Saskatchewan is agriculture a major employment sector in
rural areas.
D) Incorrect. Less than 10% of Canadians live on farms, a decrease from two-thirds of the
population prior to World War II. Bollman and Reimer (2009) described a significant shift from
farming to nonfarming activities in rural Canada. They noted: "The landscape may still be
agricultural. The rural people-scape is decidedly nonagricultural."

16) Which of the following has been cited as a reason for the increase in cancers in rural
Manitoba?
A) Blastomycosis
B) Chemicals
C) Contaminated water
D) Zoonotic illnesses
Answer: B
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Blastomycosis infection is caused by inhalation of the soil-dwelling fungal spores
of Blastomyces dermatitidis, usually around river banks and other moist areas. The Kenora
region of Northwestern Ontario has been identified as a region of high infection rate, particularly
in Aboriginal populations (Saccente & Woods, 2010).
B) Correct. The exposure to chemical contaminants can cause a variety of clinical manifestations
from dermatitis to cancers. Studies have shown that people who apply pesticides and their
families should be counselled on hygienic practices, for example removing footwear and
washing soiled hands before entering the home to reduce indirect sources of exposure to these
chemical agents.
C) Incorrect. Contaminated water is not linked to cancers in this area.
D) Incorrect. Zoonotic illnesses are those that are transmitted from animals to humans. In
Northern and Arctic regions, trichinosis is a parasitic infection that is commonly found in wild
game.

17) Which of the following factors is true regarding nurses working in rural or remote areas
compared to their urban counterparts?
A) Rural nurses have a more prominent role in health care planning than do urban nurses.
B) Urban nurses suffer more musculoskeletal injuries than do rural nurses.
C) Urban nurses have higher workloads overall than do rural nurses.
D) Rural nurses are at a higher risk of contracting blood-borne pathogens than are urban nurses.
Answer: A
Explanation:
A) Correct. Rural nurses have a greater opportunity to affect health care planning and policy at
the local level because of the recognized role as a resource on health care and the prominence in
the community.
B) Incorrect. Nurses working in rural and remote areas face occupational risks that differ from
those in metropolitan areas. An Australian study comparing the risks faced by rural nurses with
those of their urban counterparts found that rural nurses lifted and transferred patients more often
than their urban colleagues.
C) Incorrect. Rural nurses face high workloads (long hours, extensive on-call demands, complex
patient needs).
D) Incorrect. Rural nurses reported less risk of blood-borne pathogens and excessive noise but
more risk for temperature extremes than metropolitan nurses (Timmins, Hogan, Duong, &
Miller, 2008).

18) What was the purpose of the Canadian government in setting up residential schools in the
early nineteenth century?
A) Educating black Canadian children
B) Supporting First Nations language and culture
C) Providing homes for children to be adopted
D) Implementing its First Nations assimilation policy
Answer: D
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. According to Llewellyn (2002), residential schools were established by the
Canadian government in the late nineteenth century and were in operation until the 1980s to
provide education to First Nations children. The policies by which the schools were run came
from the Canadian government; however, day-to-day management lay with religious
organizations.
B) Incorrect. The removal of children from their families; the destruction of First Nations
languages, culture, and spirituality; and the physical and emotional abuse the children endured
are at the core of many of the health and social challenges that face First Nations and their
communities today.
C) Incorrect. Residential schools were not used for this purpose.
D) Correct. The government used these schools to implement its policy of assimilation."Settlers
demanded that the colonial government respond to the so-called Indian problem," which arose
with the arrival and spread of British settlers into First Nations lands.

A) Neurological and gastrointestinal diseases, homicide, and malnutrition
B) Problematic substance use, circulatory and neurological diseases, and injuries
C) Circulatory and respiratory diseases, injuries, and suicide
D) Gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases, problematic substance use, and suicide
Answer: C
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. None of these were cited as main causes of mortality in rural Canada.
B) Incorrect. Of these choices, only circulatory diseases and injuries were included as main
causes of mortality in rural Canada.
C) Correct. DesMeules et al. (2006) completed the first report produced at the pan-Canadian
level that provides a broad picture of the health of rural populations. Higher overall rural
mortality risks were attributed to such causes as circulatory diseases, respiratory diseases,
injuries, and suicide. People living in rural areas farthest from urban centres were at the greatest
risk for all causes.
D) Incorrect. Gastrointestinal diseases and substance misuse were not leading causes of mortality
overall in rural Canada.

20) Working in a rural community gives nurses a high visibility and a lack of anonymity. In
addition to providing nurses with a greater knowledge of clients' home and family situations,
what is another effect?
A) Tension is created between nurses and other health professionals.
B) It means that the nurse is never completely off duty.
C) It creates social situations whereby the nurse breaches confidentiality.
D) Health promoting changes are more difficult to achieve.
Answer: B
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. The caring that emerges in rural nursing is based on interpersonal knowledge of the
patients and clients, their families, and their communities, as well as the relationship that exists
between the nurses and their co-workers.
B) Correct. The high visibility of the nurse in the community is a key factor that affects nursing
practice. The resultant lack of anonymity means that nurses may never be off duty and may be
consulted by friends and neighbours wherever they go.
C) Incorrect. Confidentiality is both a moral and a legal requirement of nurses in any context.
D) Incorrect. Nurses are often described as highly visible members of the community,
resourceful, flexible, autonomous, self-reliant, and effective team members (MacLeod et al.,
2008). Rural nurses have greater opportunity to affect health care planning and policy at the local
level because of the recognized role as a resource on health care and the prominence in the
community.

Answer: B
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Blastomycosis infection is caused by inhalation of the soil-dwelling fungal spores
of Blastomyces dermatitidis, usually around river banks and other moist areas.
B) Correct. One of the more common zoonoses is brucellosis, which is contracted from cattle,
swine, and goats. Humans acquire this disease, known as undulant fever, from ingestion of
unpasteurized dairy products.

22) Peter, 18, tells the community health nurse that he needs to take part in a restorative justice
program because of a bicycle theft that he committed with a group of friends. What should the
nurse understand about this program?
A) Each provincial justice department imposes jail time through this program.
B) Restorative justice is a recent term used to indicate house arrest.
C) Community Services manages restorative justice programs for young offenders.
D) Restorative justice uses reconciliation to compensate victims of crime.
Answer: D
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Incarceration is not part of a restorative justice program.
B) Incorrect. Restorative justice does not mean house arrest.
C) Incorrect. The provinces and territories are primarily responsible for the delivery of services
for victims of crime. All provinces and territories have passed legislation for victims of crime,
and each has established different models for the delivery of services to victims in order to best
suit the needs of victims in that province or territory.
D) Correct. In the recent case involving Aboriginal residential schools, Llewellyn (2002)
introduced and made a case for restorative justice, an approach to justice that involves righting
the wrong, as much as possible, through reconciliation, healing, and building peace within
communities, which builds on and learns from the successes and failures of the South African
Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

B) New rural nursing programs are now meeting the recruitment needs for Northern nurses.
C) Rural nursing should be regarded as a distinct specialty in Canadian nursing practice.
D) Because of the isolation, interprofessional practice is unrealistic for rural nursing.
Answer: C
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. Nurses' personal and professional roles are inseparable in small communities. The
multiple roles played by nurses in small communities and the negotiation of relationship
boundaries are major issues. Nurses describe issues that arise from knowing clients in multiple
contexts and being known to them.
B) Incorrect. Retirement and migration need to be addressed by providing relevant continuing
education. Although the number of programs being offered across the country for nurses working
in rural, remote, and Aboriginal communities has increased, not enough nurses are graduating
from nursing programs to fill the gaps left by retirements and migration (Rukholm, 2006).
C) Correct. Rural nursing in Canada has lacked a consistent definition and has not yet been
formally recognized as a distinct specialized area of nursing practice (Crooks, 2004).

25) The Epp family, who have two children under 5 years of age, have recently moved into a
small farming community. What could a home health nurse teach this family about farm safety
and preschoolers?
A) Fatal injuries for preschoolers in urban centres are more common than for those on farms.
B) Preschoolers have a natural curiosity which must be expressed by freely exploring the farm.
C) There must be a designated play area in the community for the preschool group.
D) Fatal injuries for preschoolers on farms are more common than for those in urban centres.
Answer: D
Explanation:
A) Incorrect. The opposite is true.
B) Incorrect. It is not safe to allow preschoolers to freely roam about a farm.
C) Incorrect. The implications for providing health care include restricting preschool-age
children's access to agricultural work sites and developing and delivering communication
strategies to educate families as to the lethal danger exposure the work site engenders.
Designated safe play areas for small children living on farms are rare but needed; however,
simply telling the family this will not keep their children safe at the present time.
D) Correct. Agricultural injuries and fatalities are an important health issue for preschool
children. In children aged 1 to 6 years, death caused by fatal farm injuries was almost double
unintentional fatal injuries from all other causes. Three major causes were identified: being run
over as a bystander, being run over as an extra rider, and drowning.

Many servants, with their masters’ pipes of gold or silver, and
dressed sumptuously, if domestics of the wealthy, smoke or chatter.
A knot of thin and forbidding-looking priests, of sourest looks, some
wearing the blue turban (marking the supposed descendant of the
prophet, or Syud), take as a right, hardly acknowledging it, the salute
of each passer-by, and favour me, an unbeliever, with ferocious
sneers, drawing back their flowing garments to avoid contact, an
action which I resent by doing likewise. Here the curtain is raised,
and the greatest man in Ispahan (I speak of some years ago), whose
word to the priests and mob can give endless trouble to the king—
the “Imām-i-Jūma,” or high priest, and head of the law, for he was
both—appears, followed by two other priests of high rank. His turban
is dark blue, almost black; all bend and salaam to him. I stop to give
him a military salute. He is an old patient of mine; he smiles and
speaks in a stage whisper, saying to the other priests what a very
superior unbeliever I am. I hurry on, and, passing through many
passages, come to my dispensary over the jail.
Three hours are occupied in seeing patients, then back through
the ruined bazaar, “Bazaarcha baland,” a lofty but empty arcade of
shops, having a second story above them, the whole roofed in and
beautifully finished as to the brickwork. Cool and dim, this silent
bazaar opens into the Char Bagh, and I return as I came, in the hot
sun, to breakfast; then siesta, tea, afternoon ride, dinner at eight,
perhaps a rubber, and so the days go on.
Or I have a day in the town, and lunch at my dispensary on bazaar
food—slices of mutton off a sheep roasted whole; brilliān, i. e.
chopped and seasoned meat; pillaws of rice, with various meats;
kabobs, or chopped and seasoned meat roasted on skewers, and
served hot with herbs between two flaps of bread, also hot; a bowl of
sherbet, i. e. syrup and water, with blocks of ice in it; grapes or
apricots as dessert; then my water-pipe is handed to me; the whole
—and the plentiful leavings give my servant and the groom a
substantial breakfast—costing a shilling.
Then, mounting, I visit the calico-printers, and see the elaborate
printing by means of blocks—some of them over three centuries old
—of the curtains for which Ispahan is celebrated, covered with
strange pictures of peacocks, elephants, soldiers, lions, etc., in all
the colours of the rainbow, and fast, too, on a white ground.
Or I sit and chat with the artists on the upper story of the
caravanserai Gulshan, who each in his little room is hard at work on
some bookcover or pencase, or possibly is illustrating a manuscript
copy of Hafiz or Saadi, and chatting with whom I learn a good deal of
the inner side of Persian life. I look over the work of my artist friends,
who do not press me to buy, but who do descant on the falling off in
art in Persia.
Or I take a look at Houssein Khari, who has a factory for false
antiquities. Here I see, among heaps of sham, at times something
real and good; but Houssein Khari does not sell the good things, only
the rubbish. As I go he ironically holds out to me a jade teapot,
requesting me to buy it for one hundred pounds. I see that the age of
bargains is over, and retire.
Or I make a visit to my friends the Baabis. Here, however, I have
to eat such a tremendous breakfast that a siesta is needed, and I
only am allowed to start homewards at six, after pipes and tea have
been taken, and much information extracted from me.
Or a professional visit is made, and I come across bits of Eastern
life in out-of-the-way quarters of the huge and ruined town.
Or I call on the hakim-bashi, or head doctor, my friend, and hear of
his troubles in ruling the Jews, editing his newspaper—for he is the
editor of the Ispahan Gazette—in establishing the new or modern
college, of which he is the head and the prince the patron.
Or I take a long ride through the bazaars, to the disgust of my
servants, who do not care to be seen as an unbeliever’s servants in
the fanatical heart of the city.
Or, riding to the maidān, I look out in the early morning for a cheap
horse, which the brokers offer for sale here each day, and see the
furious riding of the Persian buyer trying his steed. This maidān, or
“place,” is, I think, over a quarter of a mile long by a furlong wide. In
the centre is a small circular brick platform, on which is a high pole,
with projecting pieces for the feet, and a pulley at top. Here criminals
used to be hoisted by the feet, and then allowed, the rope being cut,
to be dashed head foremost to the ground. At the foot of this pole
take place the numerous executions, though the Governor of
Ispahan is not fond of shedding blood.
When the new Mission at Gulhaek was being finished in the time
of the late minister, Mr. Alison, he instructed the builder to make “a
place for a flagstaff,” and a huge pole having been procured, it was
set up, and the architect smilingly presented the work to his
Excellency.
Mr. Alison looked at it and tapped his forehead, and, turning to the
architect, said—
“I think I have seen somewhere something like this” (there was
then an execution pole in Teheran exactly like the one in Ispahan,
but with a higher and larger brick platform).
“Yes, yes,” replied the smiling Persian, of course, “the Dar”
(execution pole). “I have tried to copy it exactly; very imposing, is it
not? Strikes the eye at once.”
No praise came. His Excellency turned away, and the pole was
earthed up over the brickwork, leaving an ornamental mound, now
covered with shrubs and roses.
The ordinary way of execution is by throat-cutting; the victim, clad
in shirt and drawers only, is led into the square; unless a celebrated
criminal, only a few loafers crowd round; a pipe is smoked by the
culprit, and he is told to kneel; he does so, and the executioner,
coming behind him, cuts his throat with a short curved knife. As a
rule the body lies where it falls, and the relatives, on payment of a
small fee to the executioner, are allowed to remove it next morning.
Blowing from a gun is a common form of death when it is wished to
strike terror into the hearts of evil-doers; I have known it done once
at Ispahan, the criminal being a Khan accused of rebellion. This man
had been some months in prison under sentence of death; day by
day he found means to bribe the minister and the Governor, and his
execution was delayed; at length his funds being exhausted he was
actually brought out into the maidān, and the cannon loaded in his
presence; but he had still a little money left, which he paid, or rather
his friends did, and he was taken back to prison; this was his last
penny; the next day he was blown from a gun.
Just after my arrival in Teheran a notorious female dancer of
considerable personal attractions, and only seventeen years of age,
was brought before the queen-mother, who was celebrated for her
intrigues, charged with visiting the houses of Europeans. The girl did
not deny her crime, and, feeling her danger, became desperate,
reviling the queen-mother, and saying that they were fellow-sinners.
The queen-mother immediately obtained an order for the girl’s death,
and caused her, to be first handed over to her own servants’
mercies, and then to be rolled in a carpet and jumped on by the
farrashes till she was dead.
In the Governorship of the Zil-es-Sultan at Shiraz curiosity took
me, with some of the rest of the telegraph staff, to see two men
blown from guns; the roof of the doorway of the telegraph-office
commanded the maidān, or square.
One man was led out and blown from a gun; a second was then
brought forward, and they prepared to lash him to another gun; but
as he was very short, a good deal of time was lost in getting some
bricks, which were piled in a heap for him to stand on; he was then
lashed to the gun, the executioner advanced with a port fire, the
priming fizzled, but the gun did not go off—they had forgotten to load
it; the man was unbound, the artillerymen went for more powder. I
ran across the square to try and beg him off from the prince, being at
that time in high favour. He kept me chatting, and in the meantime I
heard the report of the gun which killed the poor fellow. About this
time a man was blown into the air from a mortar by the Zil-es-
Sultan’s order in the square at Shiraz.
When I was last at Shiraz twenty highway robbers were caught by
the Governor, Khosro Mirza, the king’s uncle; nine escaped death by
bribery, but eleven were walled up alive.
Fourteen hollow pillars, four feet high, built of mud bricks, were
each built around a small hole in the ground, thus leaving a cavity six
feet deep.
One morning we heard that eleven men had been walled up in
them alive; it appeared that three of the fourteen men were
reprieved, that the farrash-bashi (chief carpet-spreader literally), or
principal of the police of the Governor, was ordered to wall up eleven
men, and that, fearing a disturbance, it was done suddenly. At
midnight he, with a force of some two hundred soldiers, four
executioners, and numerous farrashes, marched the eleven highway
robbers in irons some mile and a half through the deserted streets to
a place outside the town where the pillars stood. They were
accompanied by several masons whom they had impressed, and a
donkey-load of plaster of Paris. It seems that the farrash-bashi had
received from the friends of one of the robbers forty pounds (one
thousand kerans) to allow him to escape, so on the road he seized
on a poor porter, intending to wall him up and let the robber go. Day
dawned ere they reached the place, and fortunately for the porter a
crowd assembled; among them were some who recognized him; the
farrash-bashi was forced to let him go, for had he carried out his
intentions Khosro Mirza, the Governor, would not have spared him.
Each robber was placed in a pillar alive, then loose earth was poured
in up to his chest, then a quantity of earth was hurriedly mixed with
the plaster of Paris, water was added, a kind of mortar made, and
the top of each column was plastered over having the man’s head
enclosed in a mass of mortar which, had there been enough plaster,
would have set, at once destroying life. Unfortunately the plaster was
insufficient in quantity, no more was to be had; the mud did not set,
and many of the men were alive and crying for water at the end of
two days. The Governor on hearing this sent the executioner to put
them out of their misery, which he did by opening the top of each
column and cutting their throats. As my wife and I came home from a
ride we passed the columns freshly plastered; this was in 1877.
Just prior to my first arrival in Persia the “Hissam-u-Sultaneh,”
another uncle of the king, had burnt a priest to death for a horrible
crime and murder; the priest was chained to a stake, and the matting
from the mosques piled on him to a great height, the pile of mats
was lighted and burnt freely, but when the mats were consumed the
priest was found groaning, but still alive. The executioner went to the
Hissam-u-Sultaneh, who ordered him to obtain more mats, pour
naphtha on them, and apply a light, which after some hours he did. A
terrible death!
On another occasion a young slave who had shot his master’s son
by accident was “crucified,”[17] lived fifty hours, and was then put out
of his misery. There was no cross—the men are nailed to walls. I
was passing one day the outer wall of the “ark” or citadel of Shiraz; I
saw a small crowd, I rode up, the crowd made way, and I found a
poor fellow, very pale, standing with his face to the wall; a horse-nail
had been driven through each foot, also through each of his hands,
which were extended on the wall, and three more nails had been
driven through his chest into the wall; he groaned occasionally, and I
was informed he had smoked and drunk water offered him by
compassionate bystanders.
He lived thirty hours, and the executioner took him down then, and
put him out of his misery. His crime was that he had stolen a jewelled
horse necklet of the Zil-es-Sultan’s; this in the eyes of Persians is
high treason.
The sentence, however, was not the prince’s, then a mere boy, but
his minister’s. He is now averse to blood, although he is given to
making severe examples to avoid continual executions. With some
Governors there are executions weekly, and this in such a sparsely
populated country as Persia, is even more sad than the occasional
cruel examples made by Khosro Mirza, the late Hissam-u-Sultaneh,
and the Zil-es-Sultan, to avoid continual bloodshed, which I believe
to be the true reason of their occasional great severity; and this
policy is successful, for in their governments crimes of violence are
unusual, their severity being deterrent; and the total of their
executions very much smaller than that of the so-called merciful
Governors. In justice to these three Governors this must be allowed,
that the cruelty is much more apparent than real.
It is to be noticed that executions are not nearly so frequent now,
as on my first experiences of Persia.
CHAPTER XIX.
MY JOURNEY HOME AND MARCH TO SHIRAZ.
After a fifteen days’ march over desolate plains without any sign of
vegetation save sparse gardens round some few of the villages and
the green valley of Yezdicast (or Yzedcast as the natives call it), the
view of Shiraz is certainly grand and pleasing. Suddenly, after a
twenty-mile march from the last stage, the greater portion of which
was between rocky hills with nothing to please the eye save a little
turf and a few straggling trees around the tiny stream of beautifully
cool water known throughout the east as the Ab-i-Rookhni, and
alluded to by Moore as the “Rookhnabad,” the vast plain of Shiraz
bursts upon one’s view with the garden-surrounded city at one’s feet.
Of course distance lends enchantment, and it looks so clean and
so cool, particularly after fifteen days’ marching, that a strong
contrast is presented to most Persian towns whose mud walls as a
rule are seen from afar.
Shiraz is, however, as I said, embowered in gardens and
cultivation. On the right, the Bagh-i-No, or New Garden; on the left,
the Bagh-i-Jahn-i-ma, the Garden of my Soul, full of cypresses,
which give, from their peculiar deep green, a coolness to the scene
very rare in Persia; little oases of garden can be seen in the well-
cultivated and smiling plain beyond the whitish city, and within the
