disease has not eaten into the system
The idea IS 70 give the student accurate
ideas Of the structure Of the body. OF
the muscles and their attachments, Of
the arteries and nerves AID their distri-
button. Ia fact. the bulk OF the cases
handled at the hospitals are deaths
from alcoholism, from gunshot wounds.
from pneumonia or some disease tie
influence of which leaves tie parts fair
~ intact The great operating room in
the hospitals and in colleges is an
amphitheater, with skylight where
this is possible, and the seats are ar
ranged in high tiers, so that the view
from above is as clear as that from be
low. In the dissector six students are
given the knives and begin the work Of
cutting through the integument Each
part as it is separated is made the sub
ject Of special instruction by the dem
onstrator.
1t IS in the department of histology,
however, where the great interest Of
the medical student centers. Here
come the bodies of odd deaths" Here
it is where the heart Of the apoplectic
is made an occasion of special inquiry,
where the cerebellum, the spinal cord
and the medulla of the unknown woman
who died in the insane pavilion elicit
the most careful system of research.
Every fact connected with the illness,
with the career before going into the
hospital, is looked into, and then in the
light of the story of a life as far as it
could be learned, the cause of death is
made plain. DIR. LoOmis, who is the
demonstration in the department of his
tology at the Medical university, is re-
garded as perhaps the most efficient
and careful medical investigator in the
country. He was averse TO discussing
the subject of his work for publication,
as it was all, he remarked. matter of
medical detail, which could only inter
est the men, who, with broad basis of
medical knowledge, cleaned new infor-
nation from il. Nevertheless, it must
be said that the doctors recent expert
ments have been OF great value to the
medical world. They have all been,
| am told, in the line of nerve dis
eases. Prof. Stearns is another famous
demonstration in the department
of histology. At the Woman's medical
college a great deal of this work was
until recently done by DR.. Mary Put
nam Jacob, who is as skillful with the
surgeons knife as she is in the detection
of some functional trouble. At this
college the demonstrating room is SINH
lar to that in other institutions, and the
young lady doctors take as deep an in
terest in this work as do the rather
sport inclined male students.
At the larger institutions one body a
day is often the average for months
As a rule, however, it is less, and some
of the smaller institutions are satisfied

with one body a week. At the morgue
the average is twenty-one day, 50 the
supply is constant, although really but
small percentage of this twenty-one
go to the colleges. This enormous
average is made up in addition to the
deaths in the Outdoor poor" class,
from the deaths at Bellevue, at the
Charity. at the Insane asylum, at
Randall's at Hart's Island, at the
''lunatic" pavilions, at the penitentiary
and at the workhouse.
During my rounds was told the
story of queer case of Identification on
one of the college dissecting tables
which occurred during April. A
young woman died at one of
the better class of hospitals, and after
a day or two was turned over to one of
the colleges. She had come here from
a neighboring city, had taken a position
as clerk in a Broadway store, and when
seized with serious ailment was sent
by her employer to a hospital. In a
week she was dead. The employer did
not care to pay the expenses of burial,
no one claimed the body, and SO the dis
secting table soon had her as a victim
to soulless science. Hardly had the
cloth been removed when one of the
students in the upper tier rushed below,
and with blanched face remarked:
II know this girl. She was a school
mate of mine. Her folks are we'll to do,
and some great mistake has certainly
been made here"
An investigation proved part of the
story true. The girl was in fact the
person he had named, but the father alb
solutely refused to have anything what
ever to do with the daughter in life or
death, and so she was brought back to
the surgeons table.

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
MY IDEALS.
NY IDEAL BOY.

A boy with a smile Of sunshine bright
A boy with a heart that's happy and light,
With an eye that looks straight into mine,
A boy who ALWAYS stands in line
With his bravest comrades. aud does his part,
With ready hands and a willing heart;
Who isn't ashamed to kneei and pray,
And doesn't let what people say
Lead him away from the path Ok rights
Who works and plays with all his might.
a boy whom his teachers can always trust,
Who on the playground is fair and just;
Whose eyes can fash at an action mean,
Who has honest pride and wouldn't be seen
Taking advantage Of one more weak
Who will always kindly 70 mother speak.
a boy who would rather starve than steal
Who would rather be laughed at than to feel
The accusations Of conscience loud,
That follow a spree with a jolly crowd;
Who isn't afraid 10 say no with vim.
When black temptations come TO him.
Do you think, my boys it can't be doneS
Among these virtues is there one
That can't be yours if you will try
Work with a viii and set your mark high,
Do the very best you can,
And some day youll be my ideal man"

Fair May win give up April's dead. s"
The remark came sententiouslye enough
from the lips Of Morguekeeper White,
up al Bellevue, but 10 the listener il told
a grewsome tale. As a rule. it is in
April that many Of the great city's win
ter mysteries are cleared up In april,
when the warm weather brings the
wrecked bodies Of wretched souls to the
surface of the river, when the river men
on night duty keep an extra lookout for
''hoaters," and when, time and again,
the late ferry guards see in the flood Of
light thrown ahead from the pilot
house the blanched face Of some one
who had unburdened himself Of life.
1t is a great, sad, sickening story
this of New Yorks mysterious disap-
pearances-and the river never gives
up all its dead, for the tide plays with
the willess clay as though it were a toy
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1892-06-02

Who staunchly stands on the side Of right,
In spite Of wrongs tremendous might:
Whose nan e is untarnished. and fair and clean
Who scorns to stoop TO an action mean,
Whose word is as good as a legal note,
Who can think AID act and speak and vote,
Alone II need be with reason clear.
Who is brave and earnest and knows no fear,
And whether his lot be joyous OF sad.
And whether his form be richly clad
Or wrapped in garments soiled and torn,
And whether hislields have rich fruitage borne
Or in disappointment his portion lies,
Candy looks for help to the skies.
Who gives with a generous open hand.
Tothe suffering poor scattered over our land
Who sets not his affections on party pelf,
Who lives for others and not for self

Many ladies have used our machines
twenty TO thirty years in their family work,
and are still using the original machines
we furnished them a generation ago.
Many of our machines have run more
than twenty years without repairs, other
than needles. With proper care they
never wear out, and seldom need repair.
We have built sewing machines for
more than forty years and have constantly
improved them. We build our machines
on honor, and they are recognized every
where as the most accurately fitted and
finely finished sewing machines in the
world. Our latest, the No. g." is the
result of our long experience. In COM
petition with the leading machines of the

What Happened to Miss Rogers Dog when

A little colored boy lives near MS. His
name is Ebenezer Guy Spratt, and we
all call him Ebon for short. Papa says
it's good name for him.
His father owns a shaving-shop, and
it has great big stick painted all colors
outside the door. lie cuts my hair and
my papas whiskers, and when I'm big
I'm going to let him cut my whiskers.
Ebon is a very good boy, and comes
over to our house 10 play with me He's
better than / am. cause sometimes |

I'm pretty good, for She always let's him
come.
Sometimes we quarrel The other day
said. Lets play we had a shaving
shop like your fathers, and you and me
can be the shavers.
He laughed SO hard he had to roll
around on the grass and kick up his heels,
and when | didn't like being laughed
at, he said: faint a shaving-shop;
it's barber-shop But you're a little
Teller and don't know any better,
spose.
That made me mad, SO said: IF
Tmo t.Jtle Teller you're one, too, Ebon
Spratt You're bigger'n me up and
down, but I'm lots bigger sideways than
you are-so!''
By and by got over being mad
enough 50 that we could play, but
said should call it shavingshop and
he could call it barber-shop, and
when my papa got home | was going TO
ask him
We got chair, and Ann let rs take
an old apron to put over the people
who came to get their hair cut. and /
got a pair of scissors and a cup of soap
and water, and then we didn't have
anybody TO shave; but just as was
going to let Ebon try me- Miss Rogers
dog came in.
Miss Rogers is visiting next door and
her dog is al title bit of thing, and all
covered with hair. His bang is SO long
his eyes are most covered up
oh my" says Ebon, there's a gem
perlntn that needs it bad! walk right
in, sab, glad to see you's feelin' so
well"
And doggy wagged his tail and was
just as good as could be, and he cut his
bang beautiful and then said To Ebon:
Lets cut his hair all off, ne must be
awful warm. feel lots better when
mine is cut So we did
Somehow he looked funnier when he
was all done than he did with his hair
on, and we thought he looked queer
then.
Miss Bogers came in with him right
after supper.
When She took the shawl off and said
Look at the poor little darling" my
papa got to coughing like anything and
had to go ont of the room. and mamma
said to Fred Go quick and get your
father some water"
My mamma was real nice to Miss
Rogers, and got her To feeling some bet
