The Tailed Man of Paraguay.

If the Eusayo Medico of Caracas, journal
unearthed by the Lancet, may be believed,
the seeming impossibility of a tailed man
need no longer prove stumbling block to
the faith of would-be evolutionists. In the
lost issue to hand of this print the following
paragraph occurs There has Just been an
interesting discovery in Paraguay of tribe
of Indians furnished with tails One day a
number OF workmen belonging to Tacura
Tayu were engaged in cutting grass, when
their mules were attacked by Guavacugan
Indians, and some of them killed. The
workmen pursued them, and succeeded in
capturing little boy of wears of age He
was taken to Senior Francisco Goirochoe
at Posedas, and it was then discovered that
he had a tail 10 inches long The boy says
that he has brother who has tail as long
as his own, and that all the tribe have tails -
There are clearly no half measures about
these tails, and if boys of eight have them 10
inches long there is no saying what may be
the length of the tail OF grown man. 1t would
have added to the interest of this information
if we had been further told how the tails are
worn--whether proudly aloft like that of a
coley or In the downcast manner of a cow

Trials Physicians Have in Spain

The following extract from letter which
has just been published in Swiss paper,
written by the wife Of Swiss merchant set
tied 10 Spain, besides giving vivid idea of
the condition of that unfortunate country,
shows how much medical men and govern
ment officers have to contend with in their
effort. TO combat the plague that is working
such terrible havoc throughout the peninsula
1.-The other day there died in house not far
from ours a widow, the mother OF two
daughters. She had been suffering long
time from affection OF the
chest, and shortly before her death a
doctor was called in who prescribed
medicine and gave such directions for her
treatment as he thought necessary. This was
on a Saturday night, and on the following
morning the poor woman breathed her last.
No sooner was this known than rumor went
about that the medicine prescribed by the
doctor contained poison. and was given to
the widow in order that she might appear to
have died of cholera. The elder daughter
ran into the street like maniac, shrieking
'Scoundrel scoundrel, where is the wretch
who has poisoned my mother| That was a
terrible day tor me, especially as Karl (the
writer's husband) was not here. A great
crowd gathered before the house of the dead
and ours calling for the Judge, and threaten
ing the doctor with death Then the body
WAS taken into the churchyard in order that
it might be opened just think; some of the
people Gas was afterward proved) killed a
rabbit and said it had died after being given
some of the physic prescribed for the widow.
After the body was removed there came
the Judge, and also the druggist who
had mixed the medicine, to show how
harmless it was. the druggist took at draught
all the physic left in the bottle. The doctor
also testified that it contained nothing what
ever of hurtful nature, and was really no
more than refreshing drink. When the
widows body was opened, moreover, it pre-
scented no choleralc symptoms whatever, but
the lungs were very much diseased, and the
cause of death was proved beyond dispute to
be consumption. The excitement and up
roar were however, something terrible. par
ticuarly among the lower classes. They
persisted in believing that the woman had
been poisoned, and paraded the streets, de-
clarng that they would force all the doctors
to drink their own physie, and most of the
patients of DIR. Antonio Esplnosa, who pre-
scribed for the widow, have thrown his med
icine away, and he is bring an action against
the daughters for defamation of character.
In the meanwhile the authorities have recon-
mended the doctors to prescribe only pills,
the popular belief being that pills cannot be
poisoned. This will give you some idea OF
what the people are like. "-London Times.
