Sea and Mountain Arr.

The mountain air produces the same bene-
fit as that OF tho mountain, but each has a
different modus efficiendi; the former acts
more forcibly and energeticaiIy on TIE con-
stitution which retains some robustness and
internal resources to profit by II, while the
secou d acts more gently, with slower EN-
cacy, being thereby more suitable to the
weaker and less eSciIable organizations.
From this important distinction. the conSct-
encious physician, who takes the safety of
his patient much TO heart, ought to be able
10 discriminate whether the alpine or the
marine atmosphere Is the better suited to
the case he has before him.

4 Medical Student Wearing Shoes
Made ont OF the skin Of a Heau;irui
Young Woman.
[Lsfayet. CourlerI
For some time past the shoes worn by
a young medical student of this city have
been q source of constant curiosity and no
little comment among his friend.. Ii was
certainly something unusual that created
this attention, for they were neither particu-
larry large nor peculiarly email, nor yet
were they in either go good or bad repair as
to excite more than passing glance. They
were simply a pair Of low shoes, but it was
their texture and the strange material Of
which they were constructed that made
them al once curious and remarked. The
leather il light brown in color and reaked
with parallel veiniDgs Of darker shade,
the whole as soft as silk. Among his
friends the doctor in embryo makes no
secret Of the mystery OF his foo, geer." They
are made of the skin OF belle Of Cincin-
natl" he says giving the name of one Of the
leading families OF that city, and while the
hair OF his listeners begin to assume a per-
pendiculsr position, he goes on to tell how
during his term at college he was one
night sought out BY a resurrectiopist
famous among the medical men, who Of.
fered to sell him a subject Just 'snaiched''
from city cemetery. How the corpse
that OF beautiful young girl, whose white
flesh and the costly ring On her smooth, sof.
hand, showed to be of no poor family vas
bought by several of the students, and
how, when the body, slashed by the knife
OF the dissecter, lay upon the table, he crept
in and cut the skin from the round limbs
The ghasily bundle, securely wrapped and
tied, was packed in An old gripsack and
sent with an explanatory letter TO a we'll
known shoemaker in this city. The skin
was then tanned and POLISHED, and finally
placed in the hands of skiilful workman
and under his manipulatiors transformed
into pair of low summer shoes. The re
msinder of the tanned skin now lies in tbs
shop, and it is said may readily be pro
duced 10 verify the story. The body Of tho
poor dead girl, hacked and mutilated
found nsmeiess grave, while the mound
reared in her memory in the cemetery O
the city is drsped with flowers and vine
planted by loving hands above the empty
cofiiu.
The shoes fashioned frum her flesh treat
our streets every day Their story, in al
its hideous grotesqueness is vouched TO
as strictly and absolutely true, and Ger
| tainly furnishes no mean leaf in the hIstorI
Of the dissecting room.
