ILLITERArE PHYSICIANS.

New York last year, by legislation, in
dicted the schools of medicine for negli-
gence and ignorance. For that State set
up law requiring that all persons intend
ing to pursue the study of medicine must
pass preliminary examination in arith-
metic, grammar, geography, photography,
American history, English composition
and the elements of natural philosophy
that this examination should be conducted
under the authority of the Regents of the
University of New York, and that the
only persons to be exempted from this
examination should be those that have re-
ceived degree from a recognized college
or university. OF course there is nothing
in such law that works hardship, but it
is direct declaration that one of the
"learned" professions admits to its ranks
illiterate men. 1t is not at all creditabie
to the schools Of physicians that this is
true; that there are many men practicing
medicine who lack most of the ordinary
culture of the common school. In New
York it appears to have been deemed nec-
essary to pass such law as that referred
in order to put arein uloa the practice

Boots of Human Skin.

In 1876 the firm of Hahreaholtz Bros,
boot and shoemakers, of New York city,
made a pair of boots from human skin,
which they sent to the Centennial EXPOSE
ton at Philadelphia. If We remember
rightly they were never put on exhibition,
which goes to show that there was some
humanity in the centennial officials if not
in the makers of the ghastly foot-gear.
Afterward they were sent to Professor S.
V. Baird, of the Smithsonian Institution,
who would not allow them shelf-room
The skin from which the boots were made
was taken from the breast, stomach and
back Of man who had died suddenly and
had been taken to a medical college. In
general looks the boots were of light
brown color and somewhat heavier than il
made from calfskin. The dark color was
caused by the tanning process. The leather
was much more porous than either calf or

Married a King

Max Maretzek tells the story of the
stage career of Eliza Henzler, who has be-
come the wife of the King of Portugal.
She was the daughter of Boston tailor.
who attracted the attention of an opera
manager by her fine voice and her WELL
shaped figure and large brown eyes. When
she become noted as an opera singer. Dom
| Fernando, the conscrt of Queen Maria
della Gloria of Portugal, took her under
his protection. Soon after the death of his
Queen he created our Boston girl Countess
OF Edia, and after paying due respect to
the Queens memory married the Countess,
otherwise Eliza Henzler. Her husband
| being originally a Prince of the house of
Coburg, the Boston tailor's daughter be-
came sisterin-law to Queen Victoria, aunt
of the Prince of Wales and the present
King of the Belgians, and the mother in
law of the reigning King of Portugal.
When Queen Isabella of Spain was sent
into exile Bismarck tried to put Hohen-
zollern on the Spanish throne Louis Ma
| poleon opposed it, with an eve to Bona
parte for the position. At the same time
strong coalition of the grandees of Spain
! favored placing Dom Fernando of Portu-
/ gal on their country's throne, with all the
chances in his favor But while the
grandees were content to have Dom Fer
nando, their wives declared that they
would never appear at court should the
| plebeian Bostonese be permitted to do the
royal honors. \ compromise was proposed
In secret caucuS-viZ., to obtain from Plus
IN. divorce-but Dom Fernando, rather
than renounce Eliza Henzler, put away
the Spanish crown. Thus the indirect
consequences of this heroic royal attach
ment were the Franco Prussian war, the
downfall of Napoleon III, the loss of AL
SAGE and Lorraine to France and the still
uncertain future of Spain.

THE PURPOSE OF STATE SCHOOLS.

Rev. j. Minot Savage, in the arena, puts
the question in nutshell when he says
that it is the right of the State to concern
itself about the ability of each citizen to
be self-supporting and not public burden
Every citizen should therefore be suf-
fciently taught to be able to vote intelli-
gently, and not to endanger the State by
his ignorance. He should be trained in a
knowledge of the fundamental principles
OF right and wrong, to the end that if he
violates the duties the State exacts of him
