me the best plan. And would pursue
it with zeal to its last analysis-even to

Traddles (whose word is never doubt

sTRAW.MEN IN HISTORY.


WretcheS Who PeEjured Themselves for .
Small Confederation.
In earlier times the procuring OF wit
nesses to perjure themselves by false
swearing was moro common than now,
and men could be easily found to give
any evidence upon oath that might lie
required of them. In England it was
common thing for these mercurial
wretches to walk openly in Westmin-
ster Hall with straw on ono of his
shoes to signify they wanted employ
ment as Witnesses; hence originated
the expression ''he is . man of straw"
These false witnesses can boast of a
high antiquity. A writer in the Quar-
terly Review, describing the ancient
courts in Greece, says: I'VE have all
heard of a race Of men who used in for
mer days to ply about our own courts
Of Law, and who. from their
manner Of making known their
occupation were recognized by the name
of straw shoes. An advocate or lawyer
who wanted q convenient witness knew
by these signs where to find one. and
the colloquy between the parties was
brief Don't you remember said the
advocate. The party looked at the fee
and gave no sign; but the fee increased.
and the powers Of memory increased
with it: To be sure do Then come
into court and swear il! And straw
shoes went into court and swore it..
Athens abounded in straw shoes." There
are plenty of 'utraw shoes" still. but
they do not wear their distinguishing
mark. They devote their talents now
chiefly to furnishing bail without the
necessary qualifications, and ''straw.
bail" has become familiar term in ou'
cowrts.-LippincOtts.

NEW WATER DISEASE.
A Baltimore Man Attacked With lIydatiA
cyst Of the Liver.

a Baltimore Man AttArkeO with uyOouWs
cyst Of the Liver.
A rare and serious disease, which is
known as hydatidcyst Of the liver. is be-
ing watched with great interest by the
professors, doctors and medical students
at the city hospital. The patient is q
German, John +. Boisenbruch. and ne is
forty-four years of age. His disease is
due to the ova, of peculiar kind of tapo
worm which inhabits the dog and other
animals. The ova find their way into
the stomach OF man in drinking water
and are thence carried to the liver by
the. blood vessels. The egg is about
one-hundredth OF an inch in diameter
and the parts which develop it are found
in the water on the ground and stick to
the surface of vegetables uncookcd to
take the ova into the body. The AMI
mails from these Ova, however, arc not
developed in man. The eggs once in
the stomach Of man increase at an
enormous rate. From the stomach of n
man they are absorbed by the blood scs-
sells leading to tho liver. Here too ova
form cysts or little bags around them
selves, like the caterpillar in it's CO.
coon. When this cyst is taken into the
stomach Of the dog it develops into
the full-grown hydatid, which is
one-quarter of an inch in length with
a head one-sixtieth of an inch and hav-
ing numerous little hooks and suckers.
Boisenbruch was admitted to the city
hospital on October s5, 1889. He was a
laborer at the Jesuit College, in Wood
stock, and had complained OF dull. but
severe pain in his right side since last
spring. lie had wasted away and lost
nearly forty pounds Of flesh. The dec
tors at the city hospital diagnosed his
case and on November IA, Prof. Chas. +.
Bevan, in the presence. Of Drs. Ii. w.
Chambers, T. S. Latimer. w. W. Smith
and John Branham, performed what has
up to the present time proved very
successful operation. Prof. Bevan made
an incision in the wall of the right
side of the abdomen, Just below the ribs
and about a gallon and a half Of pus was
taken from the mans liver. The method
OF removing the hydatidcysts is by
means of draining the liver. which oper-
alton is of modern surgical art The
pain Of the patient before the operation
was intense, the tumor in his right side
having extended his liver nearly fifteen
inches. The great pain seemed to leave
him after the operation and he now ap-
pears to be recovering.-Baitimor Let

AFTER OEcAPiTArloN.


In the second part Of his interesting
solume, which treats Of the decapita-
ton of human beings, DR.. Loye says:
"What passes in the head Of decapi'
tated human being?" Is there any fact
in the oft-repeated story that the head
lives for some moments after it has been
separated from the body?" and in con-
ncction with this belief DR.. Loye quotes
. terrible story told by NJ. Petigand
about An Anamite who was beheaded by
the sword, in 1885, at Saigon. The
place of tho execution was the Plain OF
tho Tombs, . vast sandy tract serving
as cemetery to the Anamites and the
Chinese. Four Anamito pirates, taken
with their arms in THAR hands. were
to be beheaded. The chief Of the
band, . man in the prime OF
life-energctic, muscular, brave. with
out boasting, and firm to the last. had
attracted my special attention. and do
cided to make my observations on him
only. His head fell down at the dis.
lance Of about yard and quarter from
where stood. 1t did not roll in tho
usual way, but stood with the surface OF
the wound resting on the sand-a posi-.
tion by which the hemorrhage was acci'
dentally reduced to . minimum. At

ing at my feet, and I found that tho
eyes followed me. Then I returned to
my first position; still the eyes went
with me for . short distance, and then
quilted me quite suddenly. The face ex-
pressed at that moment conscious
agony, the agony Of person in state oI
scute asphyxia. The mouth opened
violently as il to take in breath Of air,
and the head, thrown of its equilibrium
by the motion. rolled over. This con-
traction Of the maxillary muscles was
the last sign Of life. Since the moment
Of decapitation, from fifteen to twenty
seconds had passed. DIR. LOyc also re-
lates tho following story. taken from
the archives Of an Austrian police off,
GER. and relating to an execution said to
have taken place in Vienna in 1850: A
well-known bandit named Schauenburg
was caught together with four Of his
associates, and they were all condemned
to death. They were already on their
knees, ready to submit to their fate.
when Schauenburg addressed the judge.
asking that his four companions might
be ranged in single file in front OF him
at distance Of eight feet from each
other. ''If," he said, latter am be-
headed, get up and walk to the first Of
my comrades, will you pardon him?'
The Judge thought he was pretty safe il
complying with the request ''But If l
walk up to the second, the third and tho
fourth, will you pardon them also7"
The Judge replied that he would obtain
their pardon from tho Emperor. The
partisan was satisfied, bent his head.

rolled down; but, to the great surprise
Of the Judge and the spectators. the body

TALES OF TORTURE.

The Ujsag of Buda- Pesth has received
the following atrocious stories from its

New York is q Frankenstein among

strange things called fads and crazes;
and the first thing New York knows tho
hoof Of tyrant fad is on her throat, or
some monstrous craze haunts her ana

When the unfortunate metropolis was
PROSTATE before her football craze, a
feeble Tribune reporter, with only one
father and one mother, was plucked
from his accustomed haunts and hurried
into the midst OF the bowling Pole
Grounds Without stopping to inquire
why the lagoon and mire which lay be-
fore him were known as Polo Grounds.
he took out his notebook and with .
heart heavy with responsibility began
to take notes of . football match. II
was only little match, but it was his
first. He saw tangled Masses of high.
cOlored limbs and bodies writhing n
the mud. He saw wild foot-races across
the auaking morass. lie beheld two
parallel rows of men tickling each
others ribs until, like a hare
from covert, an ugly, poor little wind
bag of a ball shot out, and they all
made after it, like the hounds, and fell
upon it. and worried it, and got tangled
again.
In despair. for he was stenographie
reporter and felt that this sporting life
would kill him, he opened bis ears to
hear what his well-vcrscd ncighbors on
the spectators benches would say in
comment on the evolutions taking place
in the field. With newborn hope in his
bosom. he trusted to his flying pencil to
record by the utterances Of the wise the
progress of the game in . realistic and
Ineligible form, which every body
might read and understand.
When all was over he deciphercd the
following remarks among others:
