Razor Strops of Human Skin Are

Razor Strops of Human Skin Are
Now on the Market.
It is well known that in dissecting
the most delicate and finest of steel
instruments are used. 1t is neces-
sary to keep these ms truments ex-
tremely sharp. The ordinary coarse
stone or strop would utterly destroy
the delicate blades. 1t is also well
finished on the palm of the hand.
This fact led to the use of small
crude strops made of bits of flesh,
secured In the dissecting- room. The
possibilities of this human flesh
strop appealed so forcibIy to the
practical mind Of oneof the students
that he began experiments which
have resulted In the introduction
very quietly on the market of q
razor strop made of human flesh.
One side of these strops Is made
of black flesh and the other side of
white flesh The skin for these
strops is secured IN this way: When
students are given parts OF the hus
man body TO disseet the skin is
usually removed and thrown away.

IN talking about, is truly a very PEE

-Four years later, in 1880, the
contest was renewed at the polls
and monetary reform received a
vote of S07, S05. The sentiment
had died out" to extent of quad
rupling the number Of its advocates.
In 1892 there was another battle

friends of the movement made a
record of i OIL ,O2s votes. Another
decline increasing four times that
of 1880.

the silver sentiment declined
again and registered the fact of its
fallen condition by casting vote
of 6,508,6s1. Judging by the past,
