The ro.ected removal of the medical
museum from Ford's old theatre opens
the question as TO what will be done
with the building after the change is
made. Why not rae it TO the ground
and build an enduring monument to
mark the spot where the fonlest crime
of the century was committed Gut
teau's bones were boiled and scraped
and polished in this. building, and his
horrid skeleton articulated and hung
up as a warning to future assassins
The autopsy on the remains of the
second president who met a violent
death was, ! think, held in this building.
A piece Of Booths body is preserved
in the museum, along with upwards OF
20, 900 specimens, illustrating the
wounds and diseases of war. $50, 900
books and pamphlets are scattered
around its walls. all on the subject of
medicine. 1t is truly a examining place
for young gentlemen who have just re-
eeiyed their sheepskins, and | recon-
mend the recent graduates to take a
trip to Washington to see the greatest
museum of the kind in the country. II
would repay the visit, for it is said that
THE library covers q wider field and is
a better practical reference and work
ing collection for medical purposes than
either the National library OF France OF

The new folly for the Fifth avenue
parlor is French rather than English,
for it consists of a roulette table, a re-
duced copy of the kind used in gambling
hells. We read OF Partisan salons where
games of chance are politely played for
money, and by people not lost to a deli
cate sense OF propriofy. Exactly the
same thing can not be said of the inno-
walton here, and | hardly expect that
the roll Of the roulette marble will boz
como a usual noise in fashionable gath
erings.
Nevertheless there are two of these
wheels Of misfortune revolving nearly
every evening in two of the otherwise
respectable and very costly boarding
houses in Fifth avenue, and others are
heard Of. The game is played precisely
as in professional hands, except hat a
banker is chosen for each occasion, and
there is presumed to be a freedom from
cheating on his part, but it is called
revolution, - which word may be taken
as descriptive of the numbered wheel en-
plo,od in it, and not ms indicative OF
any revolutionary change in our
women's sentiment about gambling.
Poker and progressive" euchre have
accustomed them to a stake in card
playing, but when it comes to introduce
ing the apparatus of roulette, with its
placing Of chips on a layout, the diver
sion is a little too gross for most of them
to stand.

The trade school in New York is the
most successful one in the country.
The action Of trade unions in limiting
the number Of apprentices has made
it difficult in some of the skilled m
ployments to find artisans qualified for
their workraand the demand is so great
and the number of those wishing to
learn the various trades SO numerous
that the New York school became a
necessity alike to employer and to
young men willing to learn some use
full manual employment. The school
wa established to take the place of the
old apprenticeship system, in which in
structiou, the use of tools, and practice
should be combined.
The school was opened in 1881 with
thirty three students in plumbing and
fresco painting. The next season brick
laying and pattern making wa added
and the number of students was in
creased TO lightweight. In 1884
wood carving, stone-cutting and plas-
tering were added and tho attendance
was 200. The present season carpen-
tering Is included, with still largely in
creased classes. The instruction is con
fined TO n course Of three evenings a
week for the five months between
October and April. The school is
neither a money making nor a charita-
BILE institution, the students being
charged tuition enough to Just cover the
expense the charges for instruction
icing: For brick-laying, $17; plaster
ing, $l5; plumbing, $12, and all other
branches $40 each, with use OF tools
and materials. The instruction is very
thorough, both IN theory and practice;
and, while it may not in the latter equal
a three or six years apprenticeship, il
far exceeds IL in the former, fitting the
pupil with a little experience at his
trade 10 become n comparatively skilled
IabOrrr in any one of them.
In each class subjects are given for
discuss on. as, for instance, the class
IN plumbing discuss Soil Pipes
Trapping and Ventilation of Soil
Pipes, Gold Water Supply
lpes. Boilers, Tanks, and
other kindred subjects bearing
upon the occupation of a plumber. The
students must be between the ages of
IL and p, and each class is under sew
eral expert and educated men, who
practically understand every detail of
their department..
In cities there arc greater difficulties
in the way Of a boy learning a trade
than in the country, but these schools
open a wide field for usefulness, and the
eagerness with which this one has been
sought by boys in New York, and the
possibilities before it, ought TO lead to
the establishment of similar institutions
IN every large city in the union.

THERE is something romantic and af-
iecting in the appearance Of Mrs. Har-
riet Lane Johnson in Washington at the
present time. As a beauty and social
leader in her maiden days. and the niece
Of President Buchanan, Harriet Lane
was mistress Of the white house during
his administration. She was subsequent
ly married, her husband being Il promi-
nent and wealthy citizen of Baltimore.
Fate has, however, visited her unkindly.
She has lost her husband, the two chill
dren who were the fruit Of her marriage,
and her ample fortune. leaving her a
poor and childless widow. 1t is reported
that Miss Cleveland, hearing Of her
presence in Washington. will invite her
as a guest at the white house. The meet
ing of these two women. the present and
former mistress of the executive mansion,
will be II remarkable event.

Considering the length of some Of the
calls, it may surprise the reader TO hear
that there are only five different notes
played on the bugle, and though that is
the case the language Of the instru-
ment is not at all limited. A language
with only Eve words might be thought
easy to learn, and yet the different ar
rangements OF these words sentences
as | may call them are endless. 1t is,
indeed, a very necessary part Of a sol
dier's training to learn the language of
the bugle and oven unmusical men soon
acquire it. For, in the first place, the
same calls sound much about the same
each day-a hungry recruit, for in
stance, does not take long to recognize
the dinner buglc, nor does the careless
soldier forget the to extra
drill, much as he might wish to do so
The men in their barrack rooms, too,
often associate words with the notes Of
the bngle, and that is a help TO remem-
Der the meaning Of the sounds heard.
There are altogether over sixty different
calls in constant use.

The Defense Of Inndnn

Lieut.. Gen. Sir Edward Hamley IN the Nine
teenth Century.
Everybody who has touched on the
question of the defense Of England has
insisted on the necessity Of rendering
London safe by means independent of the
armies in the field. The capital is so
near many points Of our coast Tone yul-
nerable point is about thirty miles from
London and others hardly more than
forty that a part of an cnemy's army
which might succeed in any way, whether
by force or surprise, in moving inland
faster than the defenders could intervene,
might lay hands on it.
Vain would then be any victories of
ourse elsewhere; the foe would have us by
the throat Therefore. many schemes
have been devised for the defense of Lon
don. The problem has proved one of
quito unique difficulty, owing to the vast
and constantly increasing area of the me
tropolis. Only n military ruler, absolute
in power and energy, could face the task
Of making il a fortress. that is, Of inclos-
ing the town with ramparts to secure it
from assault, and surrounding these with
an outer circle of forts TO shelter it from
hombardment A compromise has been
more than once attempted by abandoning
the idea Of the ramparts and proposing to
surround the capital with detached forts,
permanently built and armed. But be-
sides the objection Of locking up in these
forts the great force necessary to man
them, the value of the land would
render it vain TO think of purchasing
sites SO extensive Moreover, forts i'm
ply the ability TO stand a siege. and Lon
don is never yictualed for that c~ontingen-
cy, and never could be If the command of
the sea were lost. What il needs is the
ability 10 protect Itself from assault, and
TO relieve she field army from the neces-
sity Of always directly covering it; a con-
dition which must be embarrassing. and
would perhaps lead to a fatal extension Of
our forces ] would therefore D
the practicable and, to my mind. every
way preferable of designing n line
Of positions round London. Taking at
first The most vulnerable side. this lire

Anciently, in many parts of France,
when a sale OF land took place, it was
the custom to have twelve adult wit
nesses, accompanied by twelve little
boys and when the price of the land
was paid, and its surrender took place,
the ears of the boys were pulled and
they were severely beaten, so that the
pain thus inflicted should make an i'm
preston upon their memory, and, if re-
quired afterward, they might bear wit
ness to the sale. Later, when a crimi
nal was being executed, parents whipped
their children, so that they might take
warning by the example, and keep in
the path Of virtue.
