1t Rarely Occurs In the Science of

How would you define "seven" The
Standard Dictionary says it is 'one
more than six" Webster's calls it zone
more than six or one less than eight"
The abridged Webster says it is Give

runs zone more than six; the sum OF

Scholars have found, too, that the

Mrs. M. MattsOn's many friends in
Gooding will be glad to know that
she has left the Battle Creek SAM
tarium with fine health and is now on
a visit in Montana on her way home.
She is expected home the last of
next week.
E. R. Williams and G. C. Davis,
from Randolph, Nebraska, stopped
off day or two this week to see
Gooding and the surrounding coun-
try While on their way to the Fair at
Seattle. They were much surprised
at the many industries found repre-
sented in this thriving city and will
make a longer stop on their return
trip. What they saw in the short
time they We're here made a very good
impression.
Ralph BickeH of the shoshone

looking after business in the same
old way.

women,s Work and infant Mortality.

Women's Work and Infant Mortality.
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 1872 per
1 900. In eight industrial towns of
different type, where the proportion of
married women at work was only 8
per cent, tine infant mortality was only
$50 per 1000 The excessive rate In
the first group is not due to bad wages
nor to bad conditions, but to the abb
sence of the mother.-London Post.

The Unemployed.

Lack of employment is not a new
question. Says the Liverpool Mercury
of Feb. Il, 1912: st 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 succession
of public works." etc. There were at
that time 10000 unemployed in Liver
pool. The same writer after asking
rs 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."

Perfectly Reckless.

The members of the church voted
that their dearly beloved and devoted
pastor should have vacation, and so
he decided that he would visit a broth.
er worker in the neighboring village.
This good brother, recognizing his fell
low worker in the Lord way back
among the congregation on Sunday
morning and wishing to show every
courtesy, asked him to lead in prayer.
But the visitor calmly replied: You'll
have to excuse me, dear brother. I'm
on my vacation"

divided into six palms or handbreaths,
and the use Of seven in the Egyptian
cubit is ascribed by some Investigators
to probable custom of placing the
hand behind the elbow when measur-
ing along walls with the forearm and
leaving it on the wall until the arm
was laid down again 1t should be
added that there are many other cubits
of widely different values, both ancient
and modern. Rochester Democrat and

THE GRACEFUL ANTELOPE.
He Seems Born of Light and Nursed
In the Lap of the Wind.

He Seems Born of Light and Nursed
In the Lap of the Wind.
For me there have been no fairer
days than when the antelope skinned
the plain with legs nebulous with
speed on that low, gentle canter whose
deceptive motion left the best aimed
bullet far behind For the antelope is
the only large animal that is wholly
spirituelle Graceful as he may seem
when spurning the ground and swing
ing high over rocks and brush, to re-
bound like ball at the next touch of
earth there is still something earthly
about the deer But the antelope
seems born of light and nursed in the
lap of the wind All his movements
show that he was meant for the air
rather than the earth Though Nature
made Il slight change in giving him
legs instead of wings, she made no
mistake. and her work has always
been the wonder and love of the hunt
er. When troubles arise the deer
takes to the harbor of the hills, but
the antelope steers for the open sea.
The farther the plain sweeps wide and
free the more this gay rover loves its
safety, and a run that to the deer
would mean death is to him only a
"breather' that warns him up to the
race Whether illumining the horizon
like a shooting star in the clear morn
ing air of the great plain or looming
high. like stilted ghost in the mirage
of glowing midday, he is the most
charming of all things that run, and
his passing has left a great void that
nothing can fill. The few that are left,
protected as they are, give no idea of
the effect produced on a lover of the
open by one of the great bands of the
days that were, strung out in film
almost like vapor with distance and
speed and vanishing as if in air over
the lands outlying verge.-T. S. Van
Dyke in Recreation.

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

Men Made to Look Like Beasts by
Chinese Methods.
To transfer a man into a beast would
at first seem to be impossible 1t is ac-
complished, however, by the Chinese,
to whom nothing seems to be I'M
known. The skin is removed in small
particles from the entire surface Of the
body, and to the bleeding parts bits of
the hide of living animals, bears and
dogs, are usually applied. The opera
ton requires years for its full accom-
plishment. After the person has had
his skin completely changed and be-
comes Il 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-
ton 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 sit
down-in short, make the gestures of
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 signified 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-

Making 1t Pleasant For the Studious

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
a certain cabin at which he had been
advised to stay overnight. "Going
thar?" said the man. "Well, Toms a

mighty queer"

traveller
"Well, it's like this" and the man
