BABY DIES OF OLD AGE,
The Phenomenon That Interests st
Louis Physicians.

Louis Physicians.
st. Louis physicians have discovered a re-
markable phenomenon in the person of
child eight months old, which died of senile
debility. The child was Herman Robert
Burch, the son of a fisherman who lives in
a cabin on the bank Of the Mississippi
The child, when brought to DIR. Randall
of the North Side Dispensary two weeks
ago for treatment, was a morstrosity. Its
body had ceased to grow after birth, but
the head was fully developed, the face
bearing all the marks Of an old man. The
head was covered with coarse hair, and on
the face was a struggling beard.
DR.. Randall states that the babes head
was perfectly developed in every way, even
to the bones. which were hard and brittle.

years. He did not have great opportunity
to study the case, as his attention had not
been called to 1t until the evolution was
complete. During the time he was watch

parallel case. AL Of the medical works ne
could find gave him absolutely nothing of
similar nature and the physician has mere

The fact that I'VE times more bonds
were subscribed FOR than were offered
by the government contains a lesson for
the silverites. Il shows that the people
not only do not believe free silver coinage
would be a good thing for the country.
but also that they do not intend that the
coinage OF silver shall be made free. II
there had been a serious doubt OF the abil-
ity or the purpose Of the government TO
maintain gold payments there would have
been no bids for the bonds. even at par
10 better evidence that the people believe
the currency is TO remain sound is needed
than the high premiums that were offered
for the bonds.
We do not expect. Of course. that the
silverites Will cease their agitation OF the
silver question. They will continue it un-
til their numbers become comparatively
Insignificant. Then they will stop it for
fslr of ridiculc. In fact. the siIverites
of the Senate are now making themselves
ridiculous. by passing free silver coin
age bill when there is no probability Of its
becoming a law and trying to pass another
similar bill, they have done a great deal
toward bringing the free silver coinage
agitation into contempt
The result of the bond sale has filled the
silverites with wrath. and made them,
for the time being, more determined than
ever to keep up the silver agitation, but
the knowledge that they can accomplish
nothing toward degrading the currency
win eventually make them tired of the
role they are playing.
If it had not been for their agitation.
the Sl00.OOo,OOO of bonds just sold would
have brought 100000 or 81, 900 more.
The country will not forget that the loss
of this amount is chargeable to the ac-
count of the silverites, and the time may
not be distant when the silverites will be
made to feel the effects Of the peoples
anger on account Of this loss. A simple
declaration by congress to the effect that
the government would pay the principle
and interest of the bonds in gold, or
money as good as gold. would have en-
abled the administration to float a per
cent. bond at a premium. The silverites.
however. would not permit such a declara-
tion, and the people will have to carry a
burden of many more millions because of
the folly of the free silver leaders.

in their relations to each other the hus-
band persuaded the wife to agree to a d.
vorce, saying when they We're divorced he
would court and marry her again. He told
so eloquently of the delights of their days
of courtship that she had half a mind to
try it all over again, and when he ques-
toned her love for and faith in him. she
agreed TO the divorce to prove that she
loved him devotedly and had unbounded
faith in him. And then when the divorce
was granted, the rascal went off and got
married to another woman with big bag
of money. The silly ex-wife is now trying
to get damages from him through the

The supposition that the "Womans BIZ
BILE" was to be the new woman's Bible"
seems to have been Incorrect The com
pliers of the work had announced that
they were representatives of a large and
ever increasing sisterhOod, who, having
grown tired of the domination of the
horrid men, and of the imputations
against their sex by the King James edi-
ton, had determined not only to throw
Off the yoke laid upon their shoulders
by men, but also to arrange a Bible to
meet their own ideas. They went to work
with will on the new Bible" and at
the end of few months had several of
the books revised to meet what they con-
sdered to be all the requirements. Quite
naturally it was thought that all of the
strong minded women-those who wish
to vote and hold office especially-would
be delighted with the "Woman's Bible"
and swear by and upon it.
AT the meeting of the National Ameri-
can Woman's Suffrage Association in
Washington the other day, Corresponding
Secretary Rachel Foster Avery, in her
report, took strong grounds against the
"Woman's Bible" blaming it for hinder
ing the work of the association, inasmuch
as the association was held responsible
for 1t by many persons. The work Mrs.
Avery characterized as "a volume with
pretentious title, covering a tumble of
comments mot translations, as the title
would indicate), without either scholarship
or literary value, set forth in a spirit
which is neither reverent nor inspiring"
Mrs Avery, therefore. wished the work
repudiated. Spirited discussion followed,
of course, which led to the request being
made that every person present who had
read the "Woman's Bible would please
hold up her hand. Only eight hands went
up.
Was not that surprising? Here was a
representative body of the advanced
think of womankind, the very kind
of women the new Bible was prepared
for, and only eight of them had read 1t.
Is woman's curiosity myth, after all?
Are the women not displeased with the
King James Bible as Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton says they are when she writes a
Bible for their especial benefit, to take
the place of the old Bible to a greater
or less extent? If the "Woman's Bible"
is not the new woman's Bible" whose
Bible is it?
