Mormon Bishop Sharp did u sensible
thing in renouncing the practice of polyg.
amy and in complying with the law. But
he is mistaken in supposing that the peo-
pie OF the United States will ever make
any compromise with the Mormons on
this matter. The question will be solved
by all the men Of the Mormon church fol-
lowing in the Bishops footsteps. and

way. Nothing short of unconditional
surrender will ever be accepted.
The result in New York leaves the State
debatable. and there will be no important
election before 1888 to aid in settling its
position. The next election for Governor
comes In 1888, on the same day with the
Presidential contest. The only State off,
GERS to be chosen meanwhile are the Sec
rotary of State, Comptroller and other
secondary officers whose election will
take place in 1887. This absence of any
decisive test will leave New York sur.

WHY Hair Oil is Out of Fashion.

Ladies can anticipate many disa-
greeable possibilities with firmness, but
to wait calmly TO grow bald-headed is
too much for their endurance. So they
dropped hair oil. Hair oil is now used
by dudes and fiashy men in order to in,
sure good comb. The city is filled
with prematurly bald-headed young
men. But the women think too much
of a head of hair to sacrifice it to OIL
The great desire now is to get fluid
that is entirely free from grease to use
on the hair. Several preparations have
been invented. They use this to damp
en- and make the hair puffy. The Lang
try bang is going out of style and the
hair is combed upon the head. so some
dampness is required TO make it dress
easily. Oil was once the only thing
used. but now harmless fluids have sup
plemented it entirely. The head fur
nishes enough nutriment to each strand
of hair, and in some even too much

THE FASTING GIRL PROBLEM.
Facts Showing That Science Is Wrong
When 1t Declares That One Must Eat

Facts showing That science u orohS
When 1t Declares That One Must Eat
to Live.
The modern fasting girl is the oppro-
brium of science. The latter insists
that she can not live without eating and
drinking. She as stubbornly persists in
living without eating and drinking.
When DR.. Tanner made his experiment
science was staggered, but that little
episode was trife to the feat of Kate
Smulsey, who is said TO have lived thir-
teen months without eating, and most
of the time without drinking either. In
cases of this kind the usual and much
the easiest method of explanation Is by
fiat denial of the alleged facts, and this
is facilitated by making sundry import
ant assumptions, d that such and such
q thing is opposed to natural laws and
therefore could not BE-. Thus II Is an
axiom of medical science that life can
not be sustained beyond few days
without Authorization, and certainly If
physiology alone Is concerned in the
matter the soundneSs of this view must
be admitted. 1t is true that there are a
few well-attested cases in which life
was sustained without the possibility of
Authorization, the most notable belnsj
that of the Indian fakir who was walled
ND in vault ut Lahore, and who two
weeks afterward was diSinterred and
found alivei In that case, however,
there was a minimum of waste of yitali-
t., the subject being in trance Kate
SmulSey was not entranced, and during
the greater part of her feat her body
was in incessant motion, according to
the reports. so that. there must have
been an abnormal expenditure OF vital
energy.
The physicians who attended her diff,
! fered widely rs to the nature OF her
complaint. but we believe they agreed
that she really did not eat or drink.
Her parents and friends maintain mOst
earnestly that deception in the case wa;
| impossible. This assertion viii not pre-
vent contrary statements being made
but when there is consensus Of belize
in certain facts among a number OF in
telligent and reputable people, anC
when these have taken pains to sub
stantiate their belief and to exclude error
it is difficult to regard the usual denia
of the facts as an adequate explanation
If the laws of physiology were as FULLY
and infinitely understood as might b'
inferred from the dogmatism of men o
science, there would be no excuse TO
the teeming failures of medicine. Tn

The Cremation Society of England
have issued circulars to the effect that
they are now in position to undertake
the cremation of bodies at Working, in
Surrey. The chief practical objection
to this new-old method of disposing OF
the dead is that all traces of poison fe-
loninusly administered would be de-
stroyed. This is sought to be guarded
against by the rule of the Society, that
two medical certificates as to the cause
of death must be produced before they
can consent to act. The cost of crema-
ton is, as at present fixed. under twelve
bounds sterling.-N y. Post.

of narrow deep folds designed to show

be TO cut of the arms, because it is 50

Then he will probably cut of the body

these pieces he will mold and cast sepa-

up with chisels, punches and files TO re-
move the lines left on them by the

The seams left on plaster casts by
these latter are familiar 10 every one.

THE SEXES.
Some Interesting Figures Relating &C
Their Distribution.

Their Distribution.
Almost all the Southern States have 8
nearly equal number of each sex. In
Massachusetts the females between
twenty and fifty years of age exceed
the males about the same age by about
1900. In seventy-eight cities the ex
cess of females is $4,000. That litter
acy prevails more among women Is due
probably to the foreign population.
Women contribute less TO pauperism,
the proportion being $1,000 to $4,000.
The ration of prison inmates stands
5,05S women to d, 100 males Women
are in excess among the insane, men in
excess among the idiOtic, blind and deaf
mutes. The proportion OF women who
engage in occupations outside OF the
household is smaller in the United States
than in foreign countries, but In no
country Is the prOpOrtionate number en-
gagged in superior industrial occupations
equal to that in this country Of the
