CHINESE TORTURE.
A Terrible Record of Deca pItations In th
Human Province,

| A Terrible Record of ecapItations In the
| Human Province,
If CHASTITY tortures and severe pun
| ishment would stop crime, China ought
| to be Utopia, with no breaches of the
law; yet during the past few months.
mainly because of the presence of
| forced levies of troops in various prov
inces. crime has been more conspicuous
and brigandage has increased alarm
ingly The Pekin Gazette's report
from Human is appalling. Last
year eighty-one men were sum-
marily decapitated in this one prov
ince for robberies of the people. They
were executed under the new law,
which provides that in n case of rob-
berry with violence, IL but one member
| of a gang of robbers be armed with q
gun, all are to be executed at once
without regard to head or accomplish
or whether they have divided spoil. In
all these cases the robbers had arms,
and many of them confessed that they
were disbanded soldiers.
This list does not include over one
hundred executions made in connec-
ton with the suppression of revolt
OF the Kolas Hui, or secret society,
whose object is to depose the present
Manchu dynasty and put Chinese in
its stead
In Winchow the mandarin has re-
Gently taken the torture and punish-
ment of pirates into his own hands.
He actually had all the inquistorial
apparatus removed from the magis-
trate's court to his own official yamen
and there set up. Every day two
prisoners charged with piracy are
brought before him, and he amuses
himself by torturing them in all the
approved ways. The poor wretches
are taken from the hideous Jail, where
vermin crawl over the floor and walls
and the stencil is uncomfortable to a
European. to the yamen yard. They
are SO loaded with chains that they
have to be helped along by an official
on each side. Arrived at the yamen.
they are made to kneel, without trous-
crs, on great heap of chains. Then a
bar of wood is passed behind the
knees, the back is fixed against
an upright post by pulling
the victims queue through a
hole in it, the arms are stretched out
and fastened to crosspiece, and the
thumbs are securely tied with cords.
Then u crank is turned, and the devil
ish machine strains all the cords SO
that the poor wretch's Joints are near
ly pulled out of the sockets, and the
agony is so great that the strongest
man loses consciousness. When the
sufferer has tainted servants rush for
ward, and while several throw water
in his face, others beat him with lum-
Der switches. When he is revived he
is taken out of the machine and re-
moved again to the prison. The proc
ess is carried on every morning until
the prisoner confesses or gives up the
ghost
1t is said that the Winchow man
DARN enjoys this torturing with the
keen zest of voluptuary, and that he
has devised several new and ingenius
variations in the process which are
warranted to produce acute agony
without, seriously inipairing the
strength of the victim. IN. Y. Sun.

A CRUEL PRACTICE.
Saying and Doing Things to Brighten
Timid Children.


Happy those little ones who haze
ever near them loving arms within
whose magic circle the oncoming of
the cruel fit of terror is instantly
checked, giving place to q delicious
calm!
How unhappy those children must be
who, timid and fearsome by nature,
lack this refuge-who are left much
alone to wrestle with their horrors as
best they may, and are rudely re-
pulsed when they bear their heart
quakings to others-I would not VEN
ture to say. Still less should /
care to suggest what is suffered
by those unfortunates who find in
those about them not comfort, assur-
ance, support in their fearsome mo-
ments, but the worst source of terror.
To be brutal to these small, sensitive
organisms, to practice on their terrors,
to take delight in exciting the wild
stare and wilder shrek of terror, this
IS perhaps one of the strange things
which makes one believe in the old
dogma that the devil can enter into
men and women. For here we seem to
have to do with form of cruelty so
exquisite, so contrary to the oldest of
instincts, that it is dishonoring to tho
savage and to the lower animals to at
tempt to refer it to heredity.
To dwell on such things, however.
would be to go back to pessimstic
view of childhood. 1t is undeniable
that children are exposed to indie
scribable misery when they are dcliv-
cred into the hands of consummately
cruel mother or nurse. Yetone may hope
that this sort of person is exceptional
something of which we can give no
account save by saying that now and
again in sport natue produces a
monster, as If to show what she could
do If she did not choose more wisely
and benignly to work within the limi-
tations of type.-Prof. James Sully, in

assisted by the bishop of Blois and
many priests, consecrated the new
buildings of the liqueur distillery
where the famous Benedictine is made.
The liquor was invented in 1910 by
one of the Benedictines, and was made
by them until they were dispersed by
the revolution. Thirty years ago de-
scendant of one of the agents of tho
abbey found the recipe and manufac-
tured the liquor as a commercial
speculation. The buildings were
burned down three years ago, and in
their place he has now put up on the
site of the former abbey as close re-
production OF the old monastery as
could be made. Vanity.

that the big beast could move the long line
of thirty-two box cars on the Sante Fe
railway track, which runs by the quarters,
but he resolved to have him try it. The
brakes were released. the elephant put his
head against the end car, and after few
moments the line began to move slowly.
The track was perfectly level, and soon
the cars had rolled down to the elevator.

Pluyimer had mentioned it in making in
quiries on the previous afternoon. AS far
as ne could remember Laker behaved
much as usual though really he did not
notice much; he looked chiefly at the bills.
He described Laker in way that CORE
sponded with the photograph that Hewitt
had borrowed from the hank-a young man
with brown mustache and ordinary look
ing, fairly regular face, dressing much as
otker clerks dressed-tall hat, black cut
away coat and so on. The numbers of the
notes handed over had already been given
to Inspector Plummer, and these Hewitt
did not trouble about
The next bank was in Cornhill and here
the cashier was personal friend of Laker's
at any rate an acquaintance-and he re-
menlbered a little more. Laker'S manner
had beer quite as usual, he said; certainly
he did not seem preoccupied or excited in
his manner. He spoke for a moment or
two-of being on the river on Sunday, and
so on-and left in his usual way.
"Can you remember everything he said?"
Hewitt asked. IF you can tell me, should
like to know exactly what he did and said
to the smallest particular"

Hewitt rang and sent for a copy of each
morning paper of the previous day. Then
he took from a large wardrobe cupboard a
decent but well-worn and rather roughened
tall hat. Also a coat a little worn and
shiny on the collar. He exchanged these
for his own hat and coat, and then substi-
tuIed an old necktie for his own clean
white one, and incased his legs in mud
spotted leEgings. This done, he produced
a very large and thick pocketbook fasten-

the bank he wanted. In the other banks
the hall porters wore mulberry coats, brick
dust coats, brown coats and what not, but
here, behind the ladders and scaffold poles
which obscured the entrance, he could see
a man in a blue coat with dull red piping
and brass buttons. He sprang up the steps,
pushed open the inner spring door and
finally satisfied himself by closer view of
the coat, to the wearers astonishment.
Then he regained the pavement and walked
the whole length of the bank premises in

the old buildings. The windows were crust

window of the house nearer the bank,w which
was fairly clean and seemed TO have been

considerable diffidence about asking the

her her age before she had been sworn
