thalmic surgeon to St. Bartholomew's hospi-

Mary's hospital and John S. Bristowe, NJ.
D., F. R. S., senior physician to st. Thomas

in detail. Special attention is given to the

can be of advantage in the consideration of
these topics seems to have been brought to-
gether and placed in this little volume. The
writers are of established reputation and en-
inence in their particular branches. Cassell

ANTI-SALeON REPURL7CANS.

The national committee appointed at the
anti-saloon Republican conference held at
Chicago has issued an address calling on the
Republican party to adopt the ideas and
policy of the anti-saloon Republicans. The
address says the time has come when politi-
cal parties and private citizens must take
sides openly for or against the traffic and its
results. The American liquor traffic, what
ever it may once have been, is no longer ls-
gitimate and law abiding branch of trade.
The saloon system, encouraged and directed
by the distillers, brewers and wholesale iq-
uor dealers, has become vast and vigilant
organization for forcing market for intoxi-
eating drinks. It deliberately fosters the
treating custom and intensifes the wide
spread social pressure toward drinking by
inventing new pretexts for treating and be-
ing treated. The address further charges
that the representatives of the liquor traffic
in the United States have become league of
law breakers, and continues: The saloon
power in the United States systematically
uses its corruption fund, without scruple and
without stint, to control primaries, carry
elections by the purchase of votes, to pre-
vent restrictive legislation with bribery, to OBJ
struet the cause of justice by tampering with
juries, and to punish, with defeat, public
servants who have incurred their displeasure.
Some parts of the address are rather ex-
travagant, but it is right to the point in re-
plying to the question "What is to be
donea" "that the saloon ought to be put out
of existence; that the people of each State
and municipality ought to have the oppor-
tunity when desired of deciding when and
how this shall be done, and that until de-
stroyed, the saloon ought to be crippled by
every restraint and disability which local
public sentiment will enforce, and made to
reimburse as much as possible of the public
loss it causes" This is sound and practical

wife was preparing several savory dishes be-
meath it.
The manufacturer of these curiosities used
to be magician. He told the reporter that
magic and sleight- -of-hand are coming into
demand again, and he hopes that next season
he will be able to get engagement which
will pay him better than making paper-pulp
nondescripts. To illustrate his dextority he
took pair of child's copper-toed shoes from
the mouth of the anthrobous and rubbed
them to nothingness between his palms The
business in which he is engaged, he said,
would be more remunerative if a mermaid,
an anthrobous, or an alligator boy were an
article of general household usefulness, in
stead of something which most families can
get along without. However, novelty com-
mands a premium, and while a mermaid
brings only from $50 to $50, an anthrobous
brings more than twice as much.
The most laborious part of the work, the
manufacturer said, is preparing the af1davits
accompanying the accounts of the staying
or capture of the strange creatures whose
skeletons he produces. His knowledge of
English is not the most accurate, and when
it comes to legal phraseology he finds it
exceedingly difficult. 1t is his custom, he
said, to begin this part of the work at the
same time that he begins the skeleton, and
to labor at it in the evening and at other
times when he is not at work on the curios-
ity. The interesting account of the staying
affidavit of Capt. Joel Sparks, master of
the whaling vessel Belinda w, which ran
under the lee of an island off the coast of
Patagonia in the summer of 1885. While
the captain, the boatswain, and the six
sailors were killing game on shore they fell
in with the anthroboss. They made every
effort to capture it alive, but shot fired
by Lars Jansen, an abls-bodied seaman,
which was intended only to disable the
strange creature, struck it in q vital part,
and with an expiring below the anthrobous
stiffsned and died. The affidavit, 40 far as
finished ran:
To everybody whom it shall concern already:
1, Joel Sparks, master of the whale catching
ship Belinda w, being sound of mind, do
herein depose and make forth that having
landed on small island by tho coast Of
Patagonia to which there was no name the

cipal cause of their short life is not natural
decay, but decay hastened by frequent
laceration and breaking of the wood fibre by
the rail spike, the breakage in every instance
being from the surface, which ia unsheltered
from weather and subjected to constant
strain from passing trains. Experiments in
stone and iron ties, he says, have proved
very unsatisfactory, the wood tie being de-
clared by railroad men unequalled. Anything
that will render the service of the latter more
lasting must prove great boon. His own
observation leads him to believe that rail
chair which will prevent the mutilation of
the tie in question and at the same time avoid
the strain and wave motion impaired to rails
by passing trains will add to the average life
of the wood tie nearly one hundred per cent,
and would at the same time decrease the cost
of track maintenance.
Judge Wallack's decision in the New York
national bank cases is a sweeping one, and is
of Importance in all the States. He says
The position of the complainant is that the
New Yerk State system of taxation creates
or effects discrimination between the taxa
tion imposed for local purposes (Which is
everywhere the most onerous taxation) upon
national bank shares and that imposed upon
the other moneyed capital of individual tax
payers, which is hostile to the former and
forbidden by the act of Congress by which
alone authority exists for any taxation of
such shares by the States. The theory of
this discrimination is that go much of the
moneyed capital of individual taxpayers is
exempt from assessment by the State laws,
and that what remains, including the capital
represented by national bank shares, is sub
jected to higher rate of taxation than is
assessed upon the moneyed capital generally
of the taxpayers. If this position is correct
there can be no valid assessment of national
bank shares for taxation in this State, and
these shares will be relieved from any eontri-
button whatever to the general burden of
taxation. But none of the exemptions in
stanced manifests any unfriendly discrimina-
ton on the part of the State as between the
shares of national banks and moneyed capital
generally. It is therefore held that they are
not of a character to justify the complain
ants contention.

MAKING THE ANTHR0BOUS 3.
The Great Work Upon which an East
Side Maker OF Natural Wonders Ii

the New York Sun.

Engaged.
From the New York Sun
The latest things in the way of museum
attractions are the skeletons of nondescript
animals which are exhibited in the show
windows. They are usually labelled with
names which are supposed to be derived
from the Greek or Latin tongue, and are
accompanied with an account of the Staying
or capture of the strange creature in some
remote part of the world. Usually the
skeletons seem to be q compromise between
that of man and that of a creature be-
longing to some one of the lower orders of
animals.
One of the principal manufacturers of
these natural wonders is a German who oc-
cupied the upper story of Forsyth street
tenement. The good-sized front room is his
workshop and the main living room of his
family. He has made some OF the most
successful mermaids, alligator boys and
other monstrosities ever exhibited to WON
dering public, and he claims to be the orig
ina or of the new order of curiosities repre-
sented by the skeletons which are the rage
this fall The reporter found him engaged
on the most ambitious work he has yet un-
dertaken-the anthrobous, or man OK. The
framework, SO to speak, was finished, and
the papiermaehs covering, which gives to
the framework the appearance of skeleton,
had been put ON down to the fifth rib. The
skull was made like that of the ordinary
Egyptian mummy of commerce, only with
little more defniteness of outline to give 1t
the appearance of a skeleton pure and SIM
pie. There were small rudimentary horns
springing from the temples: The arms were
like those of the ordinary human skeleton.
The bones of the lower limbs We're to be ex-
ira heavy, and the hoofs had already been
put on The backbone extended nearly two
ends. and the joints grew gradually smaller
toward the tip The entire skeleton is to be
about six and one half feet long. 1t is de-
signed for the show windows of western
museum. At the time of the reporters visit
it rested on a frame above the cooking
stove, where it would dry: and the Germans
