A Sad Case.

An Atchison man has lain in an un- conscious state ever since 10 o'clock last night Everything has been done to arouse him today, but all efforts are unavailing. His friends are greatly alarmed. They fear he may never re gain consciousness. It seemed that yesterday evening right after dinner the man picked up his hat, put on his 'overcoat and, although his wife was sitting right in the room, she did not say, Where are you going" He walked out of the house. At 10 o'clock in the evening the man returned. He walked into the room where his wife sat and took off his hat and overcoat. She smiled at him pleasantly and did not say, Where have you beenY" The man fell unconscious to the floor Atchison Globe.

LIVING HORRORS.
Men Made to Look Like Beasts by
 Chinesa Methods.

To transfer a man into beast would at first seem to be impossible. It is ac- complished, however, by the Chinese, to whom nothing seems to be un- known The skin is removed in small particles from the entire surface of the body, ard to the bleeding parts bits of the hide of living animals. bears and dogs, are usually applied. The opera ition requires years for i4 full accom- p1ishment. After the person has had his skin completely changed and be- comes a man-bear or man-dog he is made mute to complete the illusion and also deprive him of the means of informing the public he is intended to amuse of his long torture. A Chinese journal, the Hupao, prints a descrip- tion of one of these human animals exhibited in the Kiangsi. His entire body was covered with dog skin. He stood erect (although sometimes the feet are so mutilated that the beast is forced to walk on all fours), could not utter articulate sounds, rise and nit down-in short, make the gestures of a human being. A mandarin who heard of this monstrosity had him brought to his palace, where his hairy skin and bestial appearance caused quite as much terror as surprise. Upon being asked if he was a man the creature replied with an affirmative nod. He also signffied in the same manner that he would write. A pencil was given him, but he could not use it, his hands were so deformed. Ashes were then placed 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 he had been stolen. i'm prisoned for years and subjected to long tortures. His master was appre- hended and condemned to death.- London Spare Moments.

In eight industrial towns, where the proportion of married women of child bearing age at work in the factories was 43 per cent, the infant mortality rate for ten years averaged 1S2 per 1000 In. eight industrial towns of different type, where the proportion of married women at work was only 8 per cent, the infant mortality was only 15D per LOGO.

 An English tourist travelling on foot through one of our mountainous re- gious, studying the people, asked a man whom he met to direct him to q certain cabin at which he had been advised to stay overnight "Going thar?p said the man. "Well. Toms first rater, take him just right, but he's mighty queer"

 sEf he don't and you get to talking with him and say anything he don't just like he may throw you down and tromp on you But eff you're too care ful in your talk, on the other hand, he's liable to take you for spy and use his gun fust and listen to expla- nations afterward.
 sBut it's no use trying to get by without stopping. concluded the man, with evident relish of the prospect he was opening up to the stranger. .Ef you was to undertake that 'twould be all up with you, for he'd think you was proud and biggetV.

 The Unemployed.
 Lack of employment is not a new question. Says the Liverpool Mercury Of Feb IA, 1872: "It is of the highest importance that committee of the legislature should Immediately inquire into the causes of the present want of employment among 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 time 16,OoO unemployed in Liver pool. The same writer after asking 1'Is war the only employment that the state has to give the poor?" goes on to show that the pyramids of Egypt and the elegant edifices of Greece were built with the object of giving con- tinual employment to the laborer."

The Red Cross Christmas Stamp
crusade against tuberculosis promises
this year to be broader in extent than
ever before. While last year less than
twenty million stamps were sold. the
present indications point to sale Of
nearly fifty million for this year.
The Red Cross Stamps are issued by
the American National Red Cross, and
are sold for one cent each. They are
designed to be placed upon letters and
mail matter during the holiday sea-

of these stamps will be devoted to tu-

WOMEN CAN'T
RIDE ASTR|OE
IN HIS STATE
GEORGIA MISUNDERSTANDING
SAYS IT Is BAD FOR THEM
AND HE WANTS LAW PASSED
TO PREVENT 1T.
(By United Press,)

ATLANTA. Ga, July 27.-That a
bill pending in the state legislature
is designed more than anything
that has occurred recently to bring
about women's suffrage in this
state, is the opinion of many poll
ticians here. Representative
Wright wants ito prevent, women
and girls from riding astride of
horses, and introduced measure
to that effect as follows: AZ
ut shall be unlawful for any fe-
male over IL to ride astride of a
horse, mule or other animal. or
both, without regard to alterations
which may be made by any arti-
fetal means, upon any public
street, road, highway or public
place within the state of Georgia;
provided, nothing in this. act shall
be construed to prohibit riding
astride by female circus perform
ers of horses and other animals
within the show ground or under a
circus tent"
Wright is a physician. He says
the bill has the support of other
doctors who claim it is injurious
for women to ride astride.
