The italian Lithophagous.

In writing of Francis Battalia. the
italian lithophagous, or stone eater, DR..
Bulwer, In his Artificial Changeling,"
has this to say: 'rhis queer creature
was born with two small pebbles in his
hands, one in each. He refused all or
binary nourishment, would not suckle,
only when small stones were given him
with the nursing bottle" After Batta-
liza grew to manhood he was exhibited
in all the principal cities of Europe.
DIR. Bulwer had a chance to profession
ally examine the queer creature" after
lit" had been kept on a stone diet for
about thirty years. He thus describes
Battalia's manner Of feeding: "He
would put three or four stones in a
spoon, swallow them down and then
drink glass OF beer after them. lie
devoured q half peck Of these stones
every day, and when he shakes his body
they chink in his stomach In appear
ance he is black, swarthy-looking fell
low, and, having been soldier, made
good use of the food allowed him by
selling it and subsisting on dirt and
pebbles"

IL walls, and goes on to say that as II
is an open question whether Burchard
was a blunder-heels or an assassin 50
IL may be so whether Carnegie really
waited protection continued or over
thrown. Carnegie, IL says, must have
known when be precipitated the
Homestead difficulty that he was doing
Mr.. Harrison and the republican party
the greatest possible injury; therefore
Mr.. Carnegie desired free iron aad free
steel.
This is pleading the baby act with
vengeance. II does not require very
long memory to recall how persistently
the republican organs argued that
there was absolutely no politics in the
Homestead incident. Whatever may
he the truth about the contribution of
Carnegie, Frick & Co. to the repub-
lican campaign fund. there is no con-
troversy over the point that toward the
close of the campaign Postmaster Gem
eral Wanamaker sought an interview
with Frick. and this interview
was heralded by republic
an paper as relating 10 that
business. There is no room for doubt
that the republican leaders tried 10 get
a contribution from the Carnegie estab-
lishment, and did it in so puolic man
ner as TO imply that they Were not
ashamed Of it. II the reaction did them
an injury. as there is every reason to
believe it did, they have only them
selves TO blame. They had won 40 long
by means Of corruption funds that they
had come TO believe that such means
were irresistible.
But, after all, MIR. Carnegie was not
the real Bnrchard of the campaign.
That eminence must be reserved for

its passage the people rebuked II with
the voice Of a political earthquake and
the sweep of tidal wave. Mr.. McKin-
ley was not convinced and not dis
mayed. He coolly said that the people
did not know what they were about; that
they had not had time enough TO appre-
ciatc the beauties of his bill, but that in
two years more they would be madly
in love with it. The party accepted
that view OF the matter, aud readily
adopted the Mckinley nonse nse about
the foreigners paying the tax. Two
years OF deliberation have not changed
the views of the people upon this ques-
ton The disciples Of Mckinley should
not shrink from the issue which they
forced upon their party. Carnegie is
only a side issue. Mckinley is tho real

The women of America will be very
much shocked to hear Of little sign
which occupies place on the hanks OF
the Yuen-Fule river ia Foochow: DO
Not Drown Female Infants Here. The
sign is read by $50 900 Foochowans,
causing no blush and no comment. Tho
killing Of a girl baby in China is crime
never punished. The birth Of fe-
male child throws the whole family
into deepest grief, and the mother often
finds that the only way in which she
can retrieve herself Is TO dispose of tho
infant quietly and effectively. Very
different Is the state Of things in Japan.
There the parents are straining every
nerve TO educate their children, girls
Is well as boys. Even young husbands
are sending their young wives to school
European clothing is worn lit is an
open question, however, whether this
Is an improvement, and colleges and
seminaries have been established all
over the country. Much of the credit
Is due TO the efforts of the empress Of
japan.
