THE LAMBERTVILLE RECORD j JUNE 9, 1909 LIVING HORRORS. Men Made to Look Like Beasts by Chinese Methods. To transfer a man into a beast would at first seern to be impossible. It Is ac complished, however, by the Chinese, to whom nothin/; seems to be uu- i known. The skin is removed In small ; particles from the entire surface of the I body, and to the bleeding parts bits of j the hide of living nnlmals, bears and dogs, are usually applied. The opera tion requires years for its full accom plishment. After the person has had Ills skin completely changed mid be comes n man-benr or a mnn-dog he is made mute to complete tho illusion and also deprive him of the means of i Informing the public he is intended to amuse of his long torture. A Chinese Journal, the Hupao, prints n descrip- j tion of one of these human animals '■ exhibited in the Klangsl. Ills entire I holly was covered with dog skin. He ; stood erect (although sometimes tho j feet arc so mutilated that the beast is forced to walk on all fours), could not : uttef articulate sounds, rise and sit dow»—in short, make the gestures of • human being. A mandarin who heard j of this monstrosity had him brought to ; ids palace, where bis hairy skin and bestial appenranre caused quite as : much terror ns surprise. Upon being asked If he was a man the creature replied with an affirmative nod. He also signified in the same manner that bo would write. A pencil was given him, but he could not use It, his hands were so deformed. Ashes woro then plnccd on the ground In front of him, when the man-dog, leaning over, trac ed In them five characters Indicating his name and district. Investigation showed that lie had been stolen, Im prisoned for years and subjected to long tortures. His master was appre hended and condemned to death.— London Spare Moments. A CHEERFUL OUTLOOK, Making It Plaaaant For tha 8tudioua Traveler. Au English tourist traveling on foot through one of our mountainous re gions, studying tho people, naked a man whom he met to direct him to a cfertalu cahln at which he had been advised to stay overnight. "Going thnrV" snld the man. "Well, Tom’s a first rater, lake him Just right, but he’s mighty queer.” "What do you mean?” asked the traveler. “Well, It's like this,” and the man looked at tho stranger In u calm. Im personal way. "lie’ll bo setting out side, most probably, and he’ll see you coming. lie’ll lake a good look nt you, nml ef you don't suit him lie may set the dog on you. "Ef he don’t and you get to talking with him and say nuythlng he don’t Just like he may throw you down and tromp on you. Hut ef you're too care ful In your talk, on the other hand, lie's liable to take you for a spy and use his gun fust and listen to expla nations afterward. “But It's no use trying to get by without stopping," concluded tho man, with evident relish of the prospect he was opening up to the stranger. "Ef you was to uudertnkc that ’twould lie all up with you, for he’d think you was proud nml blggetty. "Ef you wnnt to come out of the mountain whole, don’t go past Tom’s cnblu without stopping, whatever you do!’’—Youth's Companion. The Unemployed. I.uck of employment Is not a new question. Says the Liverpool Mercury of Eeb. 14, 1812: “It Is of tho highest Importance that a committee of the legislature should Immediately Inquire Into the causes of tho present want of employment nmoug the laboring class es and whether means might not be found In a nation of which the reve nue Is Immense by which a succession of public works,” etc. There were at that timo 10,000 unemployed In IJver pool. The same writer nftcr asking "Is war the only employment that the stnto has to give the poor?” goes ou to show that the pyramids of Egypt and tho "elegant edifices of Ureoce” were built with the object of "giving con tinual employment to the laborer." Women's Work and Infant Mortality. In eight Industrial towns, wlioro the proportion of married women of child bearing age at work In the factories was 43 per cent, the Infant mortality rule for ten years averaged 182 per 1,<XK>. Iu eight Industrial towns of n different type, where the proportion of married women at work was only 3 per cent, the liifnnt mortality was only 150 |>er 1,000. The excessive rate In the first group Is not due to bud wages nor to bad conditions, but to the ab sence of the mother.—London l’ost. A Financial Qenlua. “I’u, will you please tell me wlnit a financial genius Is?" “A financial genius, my child. Is a man who can spend money that he has never had and which the people who thluk they are getting It will never see.”—Chicago ltecord-Herald. | Hit Music. Mrs. Nugger—The noise you make at j night Is very uuplcnsnnt music. Mr. j Nagger—Do you call snoring music? Mrs. Nagger—1 should say so—sheet music arranged for the bugle.—Chica go Uncord llcrahl. Talleyrand's Reply. Napoleon once said to Talleyrand, "I ! irlsb 1 bad the keys to hell, for I could , then put ycR In there.” The reply was, 1 "It would be better, sire, that I should have them, for then 1 could let you j out.” He who knows little soon tells It.— j CSeytnan Proverb. Treat tug Wrong; l>Ueaxe. Many times women onII on their family phy- j sicutus suffering, as they imagine, one from j dyspepsia. another from heart disease, anoth- | er from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy going aud indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate ami distinct diseases, for which he, assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills ami potions. In reality they are only symp toms caused by some uteriue disease. The physiaii, ignorant of the cause of suffering i encourages this practice until large bills are i made. The suffering patient gets no better, hut probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complica tions. A proper medicine like Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symp toms, and instituting comfort instead of pro longed misery. It has been well said that “a disease known is half cured.” Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a scien tific medicine, carefully devised by an exneri enced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate system It is made of na tive medicinal roots and is perfectly harmless in its effects in any|condition of the system. —Special Biscuit—Every afternoon at MacKay's.

REED NASH, PIPER8VILLE, PA. HORSE AND MOTOR. Docs It rtean the Passing of the Horse ? rTIHE horse, sinco the beginning of I civilization, has been one of man's I most useful servants. To the farm er, his services are indispensable, In drawing his crops to barn and market, plowing his Helds, supplying power to thresh the grain, and. hlteheu to the old buggy, the patient animal has covered inanv long miles. Hut with the coming ■if tlie automobile, steam plow, the trac tion engine, and the bicycle, his services are becoming loss essential, and some have even gone so far as to believe that in a few years a horse will be seldom seen on our streets. A prominent automobile Journal says : “Though the motor-driven vehicle stead ily Increases In numbers and avalllbility, according to a Texas paper, ‘It is not sending the old nag to the boneyard.’ It Is further stated that the horse market does not show the slightest effects of the automobile, the demand being as great and the prices as high as before the auto mobile came Into use. These refiorts aro taken from statistics obtained from cities by the master horseshoers. All this Information is extremely gratifying, and It Is a satisfaction to know that In its advancement the automobile is not doing Injury to any conditions which eilsted previous to Its entrance upon the stage.” Mother nature knows her business and does good work. Dr. Pierce early believed In following the laws laid down by nature (as do the animals), In ehimsing roots, herbs and harks for the Ingredients for his stomach tonic and alterative extract, the “Golden Medical Discovery.” It acts on the stomach In nature’s way—Is nat ure’s cure for Indigestion, and by correct ing the stomach, and thereby feeding tho blood on pure materials, the red blood corpuscles are Increased and the body es tablished in a healthy state. No one suffers from catarrh who has plenty of red blood corpuscles and a good digestion. Catarrh in all its forms is a stagnation of the blood. Introduce pure, red blood into the system and health is assured. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has borne the stamp of public approval for the past third of a century, and will do more to Improve the health than any other remedy. His "Golden Medical Discovery" is the most lasting cure for catarrh, throat and bronchial troubles, which, if neglected, lead to consump tion. In fact, it is a specific for heart, liver and ail diseases which have for their source poor assimilation and im pure blood. "Mv sister, of Arlington, Washington Co., Nehr., was taken very sick and nad sc vena I doctors," writes Mrs. C. L. Har rison, of Elk C-lty. Douglas Co., 'Nebr. "They could not do her any good, and told my mother they would not come any more, as no doctor could help her— that she could not get well. Sne had ‘wasting of the digestive organs.* My mother said to mv sister, ‘Well, I almost know that Dr. Pierce’s medicines will cure her.* So she brought six bottles— three of ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ three of * Favorite Prescription,* and some of the * Pellets,’ and now my sister is a well woman.” THE BF.8T QUIDK to health and happiness is Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser. In the scope of its 101)6 large para there are discussed the areat mysteries of human origin and of numan destiny, and a broad path Is laid out for those who would have a strong and long life.

GARDENS FOR SLUM FOLIC Chicago Society’* Plan to Make Urban Toilers Tillers of the Soil. Slams, as well as the sections whets those In moderate circumstances and the wealthy live, need improvement What the City Gardens association oJ Chicago, an organization of recent life, has planned can be tried by towns where it is needed. It is going about the business of inducting slum dwell ers into the secrets of farm life on a miniature scale. A tract of land ag gregating twenty acres has been allot ted among 150 needy families who will be expected to care for it, plant and tend garden stuffs and enjoy the benefits of their own Industry for a merely nominal fee. They will raise what they eat, so far as garden stuffs are concerned. It is expected that this will be of material assistance to them In keeping the wolf in the next coun ty, besides affording them an oppor tunity to learn something useful ol agricultural methods. Only twenty acres will be cultivated 1 this spring, but next year other fam files will be permitted to avail them selves of the opportunity. The tract of land Is bounded by the Chicago river Marshall boulevard nnd the tracks ol the Pennsylvania railroad. It is easily accessible for folk living on the west i side of the city, and only those living ! there will be privileged to avail them [ selves of the opportunity afforded this year. Later, should the experience meet with enthusiastic acceptance, it is hoped that other waste bits ol ground may be placed at the disposal of the association. The Outdoor Art league will play an Important part in carrying through the Idea. It will furnish plans for a bun galow and tool house, the former to be i used as a rest room and a place where ! the laborers may sit down to eat. Recognizing the Ignorance of garden- ' lng of most of the families taking over j plots of ground for the spring season,' the association expects to retain the services of an expert gardener, who will be ready to offer advice to the neo phytes and to assist them In acquir ing scientific methods. Furthermore, the "urban farms" will not be devoid of aesthetic charm. A large border of greenery will surround the twenty acre tract, and frequent flower beds will add variety and grace to the out look. SPOTLESS TOWN MOVEMENT. How Spokano Woman Intend to Work on tho “Block" Syatam. Clubwomen of the city are bent on making Spokane, Wash., a spotless town. Each block In the city Is to come under the super -tsion of one club member, who, after having re claimed It from littered alleyways and tin cans, will Interest the residents In planting flowers, shrubs and trees. The Current Events club Is the first woman’s organization to take official action. At Its meeting the other day at the home of Mrs. Albion McQlauflln In the Film apartments tho cotnmunl cation of A. L. White, president of the park commission, urging the women of the city to take an active part In the city beautiful campaign was con sidered and the following committee appointed to make arrangements: Mrs. Albion McGlauflln, Mrs. J. C. Barline and Mrs. A. M. HUey. Although none of the other clubs has taken official action, yet a general plan of the work was outlined by Mrs. H. W. Allen, president of the State Feder ation of Women’s Clubs, at a lunch eon tendered Miss Alice Cunningham Fletcher by the Woman’s club. Mrs. Allen recommended the use of i the “block” system, and several of the women present expressed their will ingness to take charge of more than one block If necessary. CLEAN-UP MOVEMENT. Clubwomen’s Plan to Make Ballard Prettiest 8uburb of Seattle, Wash. Ballard (Wash.) clubwomen, assisted by the Salmon Bay Improvement club, have started out to make the shingle suburb the cleanest and prettiest of Greater Seattle before the opening of the Alaaka-Tukon-Paclflc fair, Bal lard la the greatest shingle manufac turing center In the world, and the mill towns usually are regarded as not clean, whether they are or not. But Ballard women, In many Instances the wives of the mill owners, themselves are determined to prove that this aphorism Is not Justified In the case of the north end suburb. The aid of the school children, schoolteachers, business men, city officials and police department Is to be enlisted In making the movement a success. It la planned to give away $100 in cash prises, this sum to be raised by a house to house canvass by the women, and the awards are to be made July 1. There will be prizes for the best kept lawns, parking strips and sidewalks, kitchen gardens and back yards. Bal lard Is rapidly forging ahead as a res idence district, some of the finest homes in the city having been built re cently on Brygger hill. Loyal heights and the northern outskirts. Vulgarity la amusing ohly to the vulgar, and they are not worth amus ing.—Chicago Record-Herald. IF WOMEN ONLY KNEW. What a Heap of Happiness It Would Bring to Lambertville Homes.
