such doctrine did not necessarily imply
that American manufactures were to re

The Farmer Must BE Considered.
He declared that nearly as many people
were engaged in agriculture as in all other
industries combined, and that protective
tariff worked their financial ruin. and that
the laws should he changed in simple jus

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 10.-Argument in
the famous ..'gerrymander" case was begun
in the supreme court yesterday. The re-

on the ground that the complainant had
no standing in court; that the court had
no jurisdiction, and that no violation of
the constitution had been shown. Ex-
Congressman Edward 5. Bragg appeared
for the respondent, the secretary of state

IN THE VALLEY OF BARCA.
A Place In Abyssinia Where Husbands
Have Few II Any Rights.

A Place In Abyssinia Where Huspands
Have Few II Any Rights.
In the valley of the Barca in Abys-
sinia there is, according to a recently
returned traveller, community where
the women, without holding meetings
or agitation of any kind, have emanci-
pated themselves. All the women work
hard while the men are idle, but by way
of compensation the house and all it
contains belong to the wife. At the
least unkind word she turns the hus-
band out at night, in storm or rain, and
he can't come back until he makes
amends by the gift Of COW. The wife
considers it a duty to abuse the hus-
band and II she were weak enough to
how any love for him in life or grief at
his death she would be scorned by her
tribe. The wife, without any reason,
may strike her tent and go, taking with
her one-third Of the joint possessions.
The husband, unless he be travelling,
may not live out of his tent, but the
wife may go to her parents for year
and annul for the time her own mar
riage. In all of this the secret OF eman-
cipation toward which women ar,
blindly struggling is hidden. The
emancipation Of the wife comes only
when she entirely supports her lord and
master, thus rendering herself indjs.
pensable to his comfort. And possibly
emancipation on these terms might not
be as desirable as the present regime OF
shopping in the morning, taking a
nap in the afternoon, and accompany
ing somebody TO the theater at night.

LEGS Or UNEQUAL LENGTH.
The Reason Why People Lost In the
Woods Walk In Circle.

The Reason Why People Lost in the
Woods Walk In u Circle.
The fact that people lost on desert
or in forest invariably walk in cir
Gle is due to slight inequality in the
length of the legs. Careful measure
ments of series of skeletons have
shown that only ten per cent. had the
lower limbs equal in length; thirty-fvc
per cent had the right limb longer
than the left; while in fifty-fve per
cent. the left leg was the longer. The
result of one limb being longer than
the other will naturally be that per-
son will, unconsciously, take a longer
step with the longer limb, and conse-
quently will trend to the right or to the
left, according as the left or right leg
is the longer, unless the tendency to
deviation is corrected by the eye. The
left leg being more frequently the long
er, as evidenced by measurement of the
skeleton, the inclination should take
place more frequently to the right than
to the left, and this conclusion is quite
borne out by observations made on a
number Of persons when walking
biindfolded. Further, adds Pearson's
Weekly, on measurement of the arms,
it is found that in seventy-two per cent.
the right arm is longer than the left;
while in twenty-four per cent. the left
arm is the longer, showing that con-
siderable majority of persons are right
handed and left-legged. The inequal-
ity in the length of the limbs is not
confined to any particular sex or race,
but seems to be universal in all re.

SHOULD BE REMOVED.
A Doctor Contends That Tonsils Are a
Disease.

A Doctor Contends That Tonsiis Are
Disease.
DR.. F. H. Bosworth said that ten or
eleven years ago he had made the asser-
ton that practically there is no tonsil
in the healthy throat. The existence
of tonsil should be regarded as dis
ease to be dealt with summarily and
promptly. AS to symptoms, he did not
think snoring and interference with
breathing were to be attributed to en-
larged tonsils, but rather to enlarged
so-called third tonsil or enlarged gland
in the pharynx. He did not believe,
continues the Medical Record, that en-
larged faucial tonsils give rise to diff
cult breathing or nasal catarrh or diff
cult hearing. All tonsils should be
cut out. Tonsils meant diseased lynn
phatic tissue, which, if it remained a
sufficient length of time, would then
continue to exist during life. 1t had
been said that tonsils disappeared at
puberty but he could say they did moth
ing of the sort. They shrank up at
puberty, put in doing SO they became a
source of no inconsiderable trouble, es-
pecially in forming places for the ac-
cumulation of mucus, which would un-
dergo cheesy degeneration. DR.. Bos-
worth asked: What constitutes a
healthy tonsil? How were we to tell?
How many children were in state of
absolute health regarding their lynn
phatic glands? When the glands were
enlarged he assumed that they were
diseased. Yet he would not say remove
every tonsil But as soon as so-called
enlarged tonsil caused symptoms he
would remove it.

TACKLED THE WRONG MAsTIFF.
Two Smaller Dogs Make Direful Mis-
take In q Philadelphia Drug Store.

Two Smaller Dogs Make Direful Mis-
take In Philadeiphia Drug Store.
There was tremendous rumpus and
excitement in prominent drug store in
Philadelphia. A fair maid, strolling
down the street with large mastiff,
stopped in the store for soda. The place
was crowded and among the crowd
were two other ladies with two other
dogs. The other dogs were consider
ably smaller than the mastiff, but by
lightning calculation they decided by
combining forces they might take fall
out of him. Instantly acting, the rum
pus began.
In one-fifth the space of time it takes
a Record reporter to write it the air was
filed with snarls, yells, barlks, growls,
dog hair, female shrieks, children's
h3wls and screams, soda water muffs,
s.aall packages and male profanity.
Women and children clambered upon
he counters or aea iato me street.. the
clerks and soda water boys grabbed the
fighting dogs, and the big mastiff was
dragged out upon the pavement, where
Il crowd had already gathered. Seeing
his mistress on the outskirts of the
crowd, the mastiff gave bound toward
her and hurled an old gentleman and
Il small girl fat on their backs. The
crowd scattered as II it had been an
egg thrown against barn door. The
big dog barked loudly. and the old gen.
tlenan grew red in the face in his eff
forts to do verbal justice to his feel
ings. The excitement lasted until re,
serve policeman came up and asked
what the matter was, and was tol
nine different stories, all Of which were
wrong. ..
Inside the damage was computed at
six broken tumblers, five or six dresses
ruined by soda water stains, and huge
bowl of fresh eggs rendered valueless
by being sat in by a fat baby, which
was placed there by its mother during
the first outbreak Of the excitement
One of the small dogs had about half q
pound Of meat bitten out of him by
the big one.

CATS OF LONG AGO.
Curious Animals, Now Extinct, Which at
One Time Existed In America.

Antulalbs NOW A1AAAaStt s4s
One Time Existed In America.
There used to be cats in North
America one hundred thousand years
ago" said a paleontologist to writer
for the Washington Star. Great car
niyorous creatures of the feline tribe
roamed over this country then in enor-
nous numbers. They are all extinct,
and have left only their bones behind
to tell the story of how they lived and
what they fed upon. One often reads
of the art by which the naturalist is
able TO restore the skeleton of an AMI
NAL from a single bone, and, in fact, y
good many mistakes have been made
through overconfidence on the part of
the learned gentlemen in reconstructing
fossils by theory from insufficient ma
terial. But there is no possibility of
MISLEADING the testimony afforded by
the teeth. They tell all about the
manner of existence led by their for
mer owner, giving accurately the hab.
it's, diet and approximate age of the
beast.
Thus it is very fortunate that teeth
last longer than any other objects OF
nature. At this day are found in a
perfect state Of preservation the molars
and incisors which were used to chew
with by the mighty reptiles Of millions
of years ago. 1t is from his dentition
that science declares man to be carniv-
orous only by habit, and not by nature
spoke of that the other day to q
young man in search of information
who replied, impolitely: so is hen.
When asked him what he meant by
that he said that the dentition of ;
hen would certainly not indicate that
it was carnivorous by nature, and yei
it evidently was SO, judging from it,
addiction to worms and preference fol
flesh in general. However, as was go
ing to remark, the piercing and cutting
teeth of some of these cats of long age
are the most perfectly adapted instru
ments for cutting purposes that eve
were seen, being unequaled by an,
manufactured tools for such uses"

FROZEN MEAT.
Soldiers OF Future Wars VIII Live Better
Than Heretofore.

Soldiers Of Future Wars VIII Live Better
Than Heretofore.
Among the delicacies which await SOL
diers who engage in the next war is
frozen meat. According to the "Revue
du Service dc L'Intendance Militaire,"
the French ministry of war has been
engaged for more than a year in max
ing experiments in the preservation of
meat. The experiments have resulted
in the discovery that frozen meat can
be kept for eight months without any
change in its appearance or powers of
nourishment. The meat can be carried
also on the railroads for four days with
out detriment, even in the hottest sum-
mer weather. In all probability, how
ever, the frozen meat will not be used
in the field to any great extent, as the
difficulties Of transporting it to widely
separated armies would be almost in
surmountable. But the French govern
ment intends TO provide its forts with
large quantities of it. Great freezing
chambers are to be placed as soon as
possible within the forts of Paris and
other important places of defense.
These chambers will be kept filed in
days of peace so that in case of a sudden
declaration of war the garrisons will be
provided with food. In the French
budget Of 1s93-94 an appropriation of
forty-six million francs will be asked
for, according to the military journal,
for the purpose of carrying out the
plans of the ministry of war. Other
European countries will adopt the same
plans in all probability, so that lack OF
garrison food will not cause such terri
BILE sufferings in future wars as it has

AMERicA's MUSICAL NEED.

A School for Instruction in Opera Would
Help Musicians. Singers and Composers.
What we need, says writer in the
Forum, is American opera given under
American Influences. A school for opera
should be established here. It would
keep at home those young musicians
who annually go abroad to study and
would encourage those to undertake q
musical education who are deferred
from It by the expense which they
would incur by European training. The
school should not only train singers,
but also. young men ambitious to be-
come orchestra players and orchestra
leaders. There should be in connection
with 1t theater in which operas might
be produced. The institution would
thus be practical school for opera.
Native singers would thus have the ad-
vantage of being heard under the most
favorable conditions, and native instru-
mentalities would display their talent
in the orchestra; we need, especially, a
better training in this country for
orchestra leaders. American composers.
too, would be greatly helped, for the
school should endeavor to encourage
Them, not by ignoring works written
oy foreigners, but by giving preference
70 operas written by Americans. II 1t
were possible to raise guarantee fund
Tor such On establishment, splendid re-
suits might be obtained in very short
time.

A WONuek or SSlENCE.
Electricity Successfully Employed In n
Surgical Operation.

Electricity Successfully Employed In
Surgical Operation.
One of the most delicate surgical
operations ever performed in San Fran
cisco was that to which A. Baehm, a
patient at the city and county hospital,
was subjected recently. The operation,
says Electricity, was remarkable in
that an endoscope, or small electric
light, was used during the process. This
was thrust into the thoracic cavity, and
by Its illumination the action of the
heart and lungs was plainly visible,
This is the first case reported on the
Pacific coast where the electric endo-
scope was used In difficult surgery with
beneficial results.
Baehm was afflicted with an abscess,
which had formed'fn the pleural cavity
and attacked the left lung. The opera
ton was an exceedingly dangerous one,
and in order not to shock the patient no
mention of the intention OF the physi-
clans was made to him.
The sick man was quickly anesthet-
lied and the inflated breast was exposed
to view A discoloration on the left
side showed that the trouble lay under
the tissue in that direction, and DR..
Ellinwood began operations at once by
making two deep incisions crosswise,
from which the blood spurted in
streams. Several OF the larger blood
vessels were necessarily cut, but these
were quickly ligatured with DR.. Still
mans assistance. The flaps of flesh
were laid to one side, exposing the
third rib to view. This rib was resected
for three inches, and when it was cut
away dark and bloody opening was
revealed, through which the thoraeic
cavity and the space between the lungs
could be seen. DR.. Hirschfelder in
serted the endoacope through the open
ing in Baehm's breast and the light was
turned on, Illuminating the interior OF
the cavity with remarkable distinctness.
The heart worked slowly, owing to
the effect Of ether. The aorta dilated
and fell with every heart beat. The
lung was also plainly visible During
the one hour and half consumed in
making the operation the action of the
heart was plainly visible, and the un-
Usual sight was the subject Of much
comment upon the part Of the operators
and spectators.
When the process was completed and
every vestige OF pus removed the endo'
cope was withdrawn and the opening
in Baehm's breast closed. The opera.
ton was highly successful one in
every particular.

Birds ON women,s Bonnets.

1t has been computed that for every
bird of the rarer species-such as the
humming bird, the orange and scarlet
cock of the rock, the oriole and the
kingfsher-that is worn in woman's
headgear, at least ten have suffered the
death pang; counting in the young who
die of starvation, the wounded which
fly away to drop down and die in the
woods or among the reeds, and those
which are mutilated and destroyed by
the pellets so much as to be unavail
able for purposes Of decoration.

A Queer Dance Hall.

Passengers of the Southern Pacific
railway complained that the waiting
room at the Santa Clara station was
closed always. The officials investi.
gated and discovered that the station
agent, an enterprising young man, had
a flourishing dancing academy in full
blast in the waiting room. He had q
piano In the ladies' waiting room and
had been giving dancing lessons In the
afternoons and evenings. To have out
siders in the rooms might have inter-
fered with his pupils, so he kept the
doors locked. That passengers had no
where to sit down didn't worry the
agent. The officials closed the dancing
school very suddenly, but had not the
heart to discharge Allen.
