WAR ON VIVISECTION.
Friends and Enemies of the Prac-
tico Are Clashing.
The United States Senate BcsieEcd
by COntending Fnctions-Emi-
nent Ants Making Wig.
OrOus Fight.

One of the hardest fights of the CEN
tury between the advocates of vivisec-
ton on the one side and its opponents
on the other has been going on in the
United States senate committee on the
District of Columbia for two years, and
at present the ants are in the lead.
The bill introduced by Senator McMil-
Ian restricting vivisection in the Dis
srict has been reported favorably by the
committee. What the result of the con-
test in the house of representatives will
he remains to be seen,
The Mcmillan bill. after providing
hat any person taking part in expert,
ments calculated to give pain shall for
the first offense be punished by fine
of $3.50, and for the second offense fine
of $500 and with Imprisonment for six
months, makes stringent provisions
under which vivisection can be carried
on.
There are to be regular inspections of
the places where the experiments are
held. and the president is required to
appoint the inspection officers.
The testimony taken by the committee
fills large printed book of nearly 200
pages. Arguments for and against the
measure were made by some of the
leading physicians, lawyers and public
men of the country. Reports from for
eign scientists and results of experi-
ments also were filed with the commit
zee. Petitions containing the names OF
scores of men and women of national
prominence were filed in favor of the
act, while memorials and resolutions
from dozens of medical societies and
medical men were presented in oppo-
stion to it.
Gen. and Mrs. Miles, Bishop Henry Y.
Satterlee. Mrs. U. S. Grant, Justices
Harlan, Brown, Brewer. White and
Peckham, of the United States supreme
court; Comptroller Eskels, Montgom-
cry Blair, Rev. DR.. Dix, the late Bishop
Phillips Brooks and half hundred ply
sicians were among those who sub
scribed to the bill.
These statements from the point of
view of those who favor vivisection told
of the wonderful achievements result
ant from the practice and the extent to
which mankind had been benefited by
| them.
One of the most persistent forces OPP
Grating against vivisection is the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. John P. Haines, superintend-
| ept of the society, took a leading part
in the fight for the bill. He said to a
reporter for the World:
81 am opposed to vivsection because
do not think it right to torture living
animals, especially when the results
produced are of so doubtful a nature.
maintain that all needless expert
ments on living animals ought to be
prohibited; that the use of living ami
mails by students for the purpose of
acquiring surgical dexterity is unpeo'
essary. The repetition of experiments
before classes of students for the mere
purpose of demonstration is likewise
useless and ought to be prohibited.
The use of anaesthetics ought to be
required in every case in which they can
be appled."-N. Y. World.

NERVOUS CHILDREN.


Geryn1ncG an AhfOlcys
Intelligent people are beginning to un-
derstand the importance of protecting
the nervous system in infancy and the
danger of a shock to childish nerves,
AS rule, the more quiet baby is kept
during the first year of its life the bet
ter chance it has for life of health and
happiness. The fact that so large Il
proportion of the human family die in
infancy is Cue largely to the folly OF
nurses and the ignorance of mothers.
Overnight babies do net commend
themselves to physicians, who know
that the first year of the child's life
should be spent largely in sleep. All
efforts to arouse the dormant mind of
a child at this period are attended with
danger. The foolish practice of toss
ing helpless baby in the air, while it
screams both with alright and de-
light, is most dangerous one. A ply
stefan with q large practice tells the
story of precociously bright child
which showed evident delight when
tossed in this way by doting grand
father, who was accustomed to play
with it in this way every evening. The
child trembled with delight when the
nights frolic was over, but one evening
from this trembling it passed into a
spasm, the first indication of one of
those fatal brain diseases against which
medical science is helpless. Nothing
could be done but to wait until the little
life had flown to a happier land.-N. Y.

A thought-weighing machine has

Asimple method of measuring heights
in the interior of churches and other
buildings consists in attaching a
graduated string or tape to a small
balloon such as is easily obtainabe

readily applied for measuring the

man, and the girls find much pleasure
in making these really useful as we'll as
dainty toilet accessories for his lord
ship, as explained in the New York

basket with no top is chosen. 1t is lined

Several tiny cushions are made and
stitched to the inside of the basket
brim, and black and white pins and
needles are stuck therein in plentiful
array. A pair of small scissors, little
silk bag for buttons and several spools
of white, black and colored cotton and
silk thread go to complete the bachelors

ever takes the basket out of the box in
which it is received, the giver feels as

every needful appliance for an emer-
gency and is consequently happy.
