for several years said to me: "Would you
like to see Guiteau's face?" Though some
what puzzled rs to the object Of such Quee-
ton, promptly answered in the affirmative.
The clerk then led me to a room where q
number of large jars. filled with alcohol to
preserve various relics, were arranged on
shelves. A cover was pulled from one of
these, revealing the face and head Of Guiteau
just rs it looked when placed in the coffin.
THAT" said the clerk, lis the real face, hair,
skin, ,eyeballs and features of Charles Guiteau.
When his body was taken to the Medical
Museum il was resolved to preserve not only
his skeleton, but his actual features in the
flesh. That was done by running the knife
clear round the neck, splitting the skin in \
straight line from the back of the neck To the
top of the head, and tearing 1t of from the
entire head. thus obtsining in one piece the
scalp and TIE skin covering the face. To
these were added the eyeballs. This was
stuffed with cotton in a way to retain the
exact outlines of the murderer's cou ntenance.
as well as the EXPRESSION, se~ed together and
put in alcohol just as you see il now. The
head looks As if it were merely cut from the
body and placed in the jar, as the surgeons
stitches on the neck and back Of the head are
not visible. The very sneer OF the sensual
mouth has been preserved, and the stubby
hairs of a weeks growth that were on the
upper lip when Guiteau went on the gallows
are still there. The eyeballs are, of course,
lacking in vital expression, but even they
show but little shrinkage. The nose is the
only feature the shape of which has not been
maintained. 1t is sunken in the middle, as IL
II had received blow on the bridge; but the
cheeks, the chin, the mouth, eyebrows. eye
lashes. hair and everything except the mouth
are almost perfect in their lifelike resem-
blance.

Prof. James Z. johnson says that fifty
seven per cent of the blood of animals
consist of common salt. which is partially
discharged every day through the skin
and kidneys. When stock is stinted with
salt the bile is not able to assist digestion
TO its fullest extent, and the natural waste
OF the cartilages cannot be built up as
rapidly as they otherwise could. The
professor believes that il is better to place
salt where stock can have free access to
it at any time, otherwise they are liable TO
become salt hungry" by too long absti-
nence. and when the opportunity offers
will eat too much of it,

How to Get a watch for Nothing.

Time was when no one would wear an
American watch, and the Swiss manufac-
turers had a virtual monopoly of the trade,
but, under the benefcent stimulus of pro-
lection, this infant industry has now become
one of the most important of our manufac-
turing interests Foreign makers can no
longer compete with our own either in price
or quality, and American watches are
now known the world over as the finest in
point of workmanship that are anywhere to
be had. American inventive genius in this,
as in many other industries, has vastly
cheapened and improved the methods of
manufacture through the introduction of
labor-saving machinery, and, whereas twenty
years ago only the well-to-do could afford to
carry watch, it is now within the means of
the poorest to buy one.
In proof of this it is only necessary to refer
to the Waterbury" watch which THE
TRIBUNE offers as one of its premiums for
new Subscribers Although this time-piece
is sold at such low price that some persons
might possibly conclude that it was worth
less, it is, as matter of fact, really excel
lent time-piece, and answers all the ordinary
purposes of watch as well as if it were en-
closed in gold case studded with diamonds
1t is a stem-winder, easily regulated, and
rarely liable to get out of repair, and those
who have submitted it to the most exactine
tests, unite in pronouncing it most service
able and reliable time-keeper. The fact that
thousands upon thousands of these watches
have been sold in every section of the coun-
try, and are now being carried by persons in
all branches of business, trades, and profess
sions, is in itself sufficient guarantee of
their intrinsic value.
A large number of our subscribers have
already taken advantage of the opportunity
afforded to obtain one of these watches at
merely nominal cost in connection with THE
TRIBUNE, but we have now concluded to
make it still easier for them to secure one
AS viii be seen by reference to our advertis-
ing columns, this week, a Waterbury watch
will be given away to every person who, prior
to the 18th of June next, will send us ten
new subscribers. AS the regular retail price
of the watch is So so, and it can be readily
sold for that price, this is equivalent, it will
be seen, to presenting each club-raiser who,

A cause fer Real concern.

An esteemed correspondent of THE TRIB-
UNE, in the course Of some comments on
Senator Beck proposition TO post the list of
pensioners as "guspects," remarks that while
he does not know of any ex-soldier who is
fraudulently drawing pension from the
Government, he does know of several who,
although entitled to pension, have never re-
ceived any. That is phase of the pension
question which the Senator from Kentucky
has strangely overlooked. In his professed
anxiety TO eliminate from the pension rolls
the names Of all pensioners who are not en-
titled TO Government aid, the equally i'm
perative duty Of adding to the rolls the
names Of all soldiers who are entitled to
that aid appears to have entirely escaped
his attention. The bare suspicion that
some of our ex-soldiers might be drawing
pensions to which they had no legal right,
so stirred his indignation that he quite for
got to inquire whether others who had a
legal claim might not have been unable to
obtain them. A list Of such persons. we
dare say, might prove quite as interesting to
the country, if not as ereditable to the Gov
eminent, rs the one which he is SO eager to
have published, 1t would be of interest, for
instance, TO know how many veterans are
to-day in positive want and distress, because
as yet the pittance to which their disabili-
ties entitle them has not been allowed-the
priyations which they have been compelled
TO endure and the humiliations to which
they have been subjected. The country at
large little suspects what an amount of
actual misery and suffering the long delay
in the settlement OF their claims has entailed,
and perhaps the pathetic story of how
they have struggled on single-handed to
earn for themselves and their families the
scant living which their failing strength
renders it more and more difficult for them
to earn, might soften the hesrts Of some that
now seem incapable of pity. 1t would be OF
interest. toe, TO Know the character OF the
