In the room Of the National MUSES.
um devoted to Materia Medica there
has been placed a series Of prepare

of interest from those who stop to
read the printed notices.
1t illustrates very clearly the anal

present age. The average man is
Eve feet eight inches high, and
weighs one hundred and ffty.four
pounds.
Scientists determined to analyze all
parts of the human body, find out
what were its constituent elements
and how much OF each was present.
They have finally demonstrated
that the following elements are pres

Gases, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen,
chlorine and fuorine.
Solids, Metal, iron. potassium, cal
cium, sodium and magnesium.
Solids, nOn-metals, carbon, phOsphor-

In this exhibit these thirteen ele-
ments are shown in glass jars ar
ranged ia row upon a shelf, each
Jar bearing label containing a state

amount Of the same to be found in an
average human body.
For the gases, of course, only a
proportionate amount OF the elements
is shown, 40 900. for example, of
oxygen. The amount of carbon is
represented by cube about inches

the size of hens egg.

about twenty sticks OF PHOSPHORUS a

ishment.
Hanged at Noon Tuesday
Week.
Three Years Agoin a Drunk
en- Fit He Murdered His
Wife and Child.
Tried to get Out on the lnsan-
ity Dodge--Falled at Ev-
cry Turn.

Dr. Arthur Duestrow, the st. Louis
millionaire wife and child murderer
was hanged Tuesday week for the
crime he committed three years ago.
On the 18th day of February 1894,
while In a drunken fit, DIR. Duestrow
entered his handsome residence and
shot to death his vile and child. The
crime was witnessed by a servant.
After the killing Duestrow surren-
dered himself to the authorities and
claimed that the killing was acciden-
tai. He told many different stories
as to how it happened. The people
were enraged over the matter and de-
termined that justice should be done
though he was a man Of wealth.
The fight to save Duestrow's life
has been a notable one. The case is
the most celebrated on record of the
Missouri Criminal Court. -Four
times it has been gone over. Due
strow employed the finest array Of
lawyers in the State. They summon
ed to their aid medical science and
tried to show, by infinitely tracing
the family history, that the prisoner
was insane. The stand taken was
that he was a victim of sub-acute
hallucintory parauoia. Medical ex~
perts and lawyers wrangled for days
in court-rooms before wearied juries
over the scientific aspects of the case,
and every inch of ground, legal or
scientific. was stubbornly tonight.
Eloquence, skill, learning, wealth,
all were brought to the aid of Arthur
Duestrow. But his crime had so
wrought the public mind against him
that all these have been Of no avail
and though possessed Of a million
dollars, he has paid the penalty OF
his crime.
His property after death goes to
his sister, Hulda Duestrow, Since
his crime she has not only refused to
go to see him, but has refused to ad-
vance any money. Duestrow's attor.
neys have been able so far to spend
only the interest, and not the prlnci-
pal Of his estate, and may now find it
impossible to collect their fees.

pie patriots, these pyrotecnic~perform-

ing the most charming volume Of per
diem history that was ever perfected
at the cost Of an honest people and
the everlasting shame OF a great
commonwealth. This most wise
brigade of Coxey catowdlters, this Of

makers, this undimmed couitellation
Of human evergreens is a fitting finale
to the irazzle.edged fasco OF DEM
ocracy's rule aud damuation's ruin
in Tennessee. They come as a feeble
farewell finish to the inglorious reign
Of an ignoble party that is dead with
its own bastard doing and damned
with its own dobauchery, stuped 10
the blood of conscience and lost in
sea Of sin-the last harsh note to
break the sweet, enchanting spell of
melody, the dying echo of poor old
played. out song. Their days ofbal.
lot-box kleptomania are numbered,
their epoch OF film fam supremacy Is
done, their era of party bossism and
election hOodlumism is one Of the
fast fading memories Of a by.gone
age, where political honesty was
thing unknown and public decency
was lost art. This they know, aud
well DO they know it.
Yes, and they know more than
this. They know that Tennessee to-
day is as solidly and as safely Re-
publican as hell is Democratic; they
know that II the. voice of the people
as honesty expressed al the polls had
prevailed in Tennessee their misera-
bic body would be today made up of
Republicans, honest men and intelli-
gent lawmakers, and that instead of
a second class fiddler a first class
statesman would occupy the executive
Office; they know that if justice had
succeeded to her own two years ago
II. Clay Evans would have been Gov
ernor Of this proud State instead ofthe
poor old booze.fghting imbecile who
had Just retired without credit and
without honor; they know that had
the Republican party been in power
here through all these years TennesN
see would now be enjoying the high
noon zenith Of rich prosperity, In
stead of being held up to the scorn
and pity Of the world by their own
beloved chairman as the worst gov
erned State in the Union; they know
too, that if the devil had his dues
purgatory would this minute be crow
ded with Tennessee Democrats.
All these things they know, and
all these things the voters Of this State
know and this gang ofpolitical noun
tebauks are right now enjoying the
last spoils that will come down their
side OF the pike in Tennessee.
Let them make the most of it, and
let them understand that their jig is
up, their goose is cooked, their cake
is dough, and their coffin is ready to
receive its worthless deposit Of politi-
cal stiffs. for when this poor session
of the Legislature shall have been
fritted away in their owa artistic
fashion they must go home and dis
appear in the cornfslds OF obscurity
forever, to seek in vain the fleetiug

murdered hopes.-[Nashville Repub-

To Cure Lanleness.

A subscriber at Trenton, KY, asks
the following;
81 have a four-year old horse that
goes lame periodically; can detect no
tender or heated spot about body or
limbs; no swelling After travelling
a mile OF two the lameness almost
disappears. What is the remedy"
1t is impossible to diagnose the
trouble with certainty on this meager
description. Indeed personal exam
nation would be necessary to accura-
ey. The symptoms given indicate
what is known as "Navicular dis
cases." (sometimes called groggiuess)
An inflammation OF the Navicular bone
OF OF the cartilage on its inferior sur
face. It is probably one OF the most
fertile causes OF lamenes, and also
the most difficult to treat or control.
Conclusion and rheumetic predispo-
sition are said to he the chief causes
of the disease, though improper shoe
ing may largely contribute.
The remedy suggested Is: Remove
the shoe aud allow the frog to come to
the ground. Stand in cold water or
apply cold, wet swabs for several
hours daily. Poultice at night. II,
after two or three weeks, the disease
is not conquered, blister the corouet
slightly, and if this does not bring
relief, seton the frog. Some selief
has been obtained by using hooi or
nament composed OF equal parts of
tar, Burbuudy pitch and mutton suet.
