IMPLEMENTS OF TORTURE.
What IL to Be Seen Ia the Onico OF
brooklyn Humane society.

What Is to he Seen Ia the Onlce OF o
brooklyn Humane society.
At the Office o! the Brooklyn Branch
OF the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals there is n formida-
BILE and interesting collection OF con-
fiscated implements OF cruelty, each OF
which bears tag referring TO a book
in which are kept histories telling OF
mans cruelty to dumb beasts, and
mans mercy in protecting the animal
and furnishing the offender. There
are in this collection whips, bale sticks,
iron rods, bean-shOoters, rope. chains,
knives, pieces OF hoop-iron, spurs,
cart-rungs and many other things, each
one a grim memento OF some case OF
human brutality. Side by side hang
two bale sticks with which horses wero
beaten to death because they did not
understand just what their drivers re-
quired OF them. One of these was
used by August Baenan. His father is
a grocer, and owned u horse that was
at times balky.
One day August drove out. saying
that he would either cure or kill the
horse. He killed 1t. The horse stood
still after being severely beaten, when
August hit the animal tremendous
blow on the head, fracturing the skull.
The human brute was arrested and
fined 800. The other bale-stick was
used by Jacob Banmet and John lin
dermeyer. who were driving team at
tached to a brewery wagon when one
OF the horses became balky. The two
men took turns belaboring the animal,
crushing in its ribs. till 1t fell dead.
Both men were arr osted and had to
pay fine OF $25 each.
The tail OF black cat hangs upon
the wall, and Thereby hangs tale"
as black as the black cats black tail.
The cat is long since dead, but Its tail,
hanging in the Office of the society,
will keep its memory green for long
time. The cat was the pet OF two
children who were playing with 1t,
when one James McNally came
along. He took the cat from the
children and told them he would
show them some fun. Drawing a
knife from his pocket he amputated
the tail close TO the body Of the cat.
The cat, objecting to the surgical ope-
ration, scratched McNally, whereat
| tho latter became enraOed and dashed

along. Others contain rolls OF printed
prayers and are fixed in rows on the
walls OF temples, near villages, and In
streams to be turned by water-power.
They are said to have been In use for
more than one thousand years.
Mr.. Andrew Wilson says that the
Thibetans are the most pre-eminently
praying people on the face OF the earth.
"They have praying stones. praying
pyramids. praying flags flying over
every house. praying wheels, praying
mills, and the universal prayer, ON
mani padme haun,' is never out oi
their mouths" A German writer on
Lamaism says of this sentence, which
literally means 30 Godl the jewel in
the lotus" that these six syllables are,
OF all the prayers OF earth, that which
is most frequently repeated, written,
printed and conveniently offered up by
mechanical means. "They constitute
the only prayer which the common
Monguls and Thibetans know; they are
the first words which the stammerinG
child learns, and are the last sighs ol
the dying. The traveller murmurf
them upon his journey, the herdsmar
by his flock. the wife In her daily
work, the monk in all stages of con
templation-that is TO say. OF Nihilism
and they are the cries OF conflict and tri-
umph. One meets with them everywhere
wherever the Lama church has estab'
lished itselt-on flags, rocks, trees
walls, stone monuments, utensils, strips
OF paper. human skulls, skeletons, etc.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1889-04-05

1hey are, according to the meaning OF
the believer, the essence OF all religion,
OF all wisdom and revelation; they are
the way Of salvation and the entrance
to holiness"
Mr.. Wilson observes that the repeti-
tion OF this prayer, whether orally or
by mechanical means, HIS become a
sacred and protecting symbol, such us
making tho sign Of the Cross Is among
Roman Catholic Christians. To the
ordinary Thibetan 1t is known in this
sense, and also u prayer for the we'll
being OF six classes OF creatures-hu-
man beings, animals. evil spirits. souls
In Heaven. souls In purgatory and souls
In hell. 80 1t comes TO be an aspira-
ton OF universal benevolence, which Is
supposed to have q protecting influence
on those who give utterance to It, or
reproduce II In any way" II has also
received many mystical rendcrings by
Lama theologians; but this is the Oen-
eral meaning attached to 1t by tho peo-
ple.-St. James Gazette.

lives on tho outskirts OF tho city. put
the can ON n calf as u muzzle to keep
the animal from sucking COW. In its
hungry efforts to get milk the cali
pushed its nose SO far into tho can that
the ragged edges cut deeply into the

her cruel thoughtlessness,
A heavy whip-handle that was used

Patrick Kennedy. after using up tho
lash on the animals body, beat 1t with
the butt end Of the whip, cutting its

A lot OF goats, COWS, chickens. cats
and dogs at Gravesend wero found to

COW. He was deprived Of his gun,
which is in the soclety's Office, and
fined fifty dollars.
