CoLoRED PEOPLE NEVER sNEEZE
That Accomplishment Is Reserved for
Members of the Other Races

"It was Prof. Schroeder of Louisville"
volunteered a surgeon to a reporter,
"who first ventured the opinion that
the negro never sneezed. The statement
was made in reply to question of Prof
Gross, the famous Philadelphia surgeon,
and in whose memory a statue was re-
Gently dedicated in this city A smile
passed around the listeners, and Prof.
Schroeder. observing that there was
some doubt about his statement, reiterat-
ed it with some force. ell then explained
that while there were no structural ar
rangements about the breathing appa-
ratus OF the colored race that
have been discovered which pre-
vented him from sneezing, it was
a fact that the colored man
did not sneeze, though he could be made
to sneeze by the use of snuffs, pepper and
other irritants. He had, he said, never
made any experiments in that connec
tion. He also said his observation had
been confined to colored people in the
southern states. Atmospheric or other
conditions might exist elsewhere which
might cause him to sneeze, but none ex-
listed, naturally, in the south. The de-
bate on the subject occupied nearly an
hour at a meeting OF the International
Surgical association, which held a con-
vention in the old Lincoln hall some
years ago. Since then I have often
spoken Of it and asked my friends to
notice, and though l have directed the
attention of hundreds to the subject,
have yet to hear the first one say that
they have ever heard a negro man or
woman sneeze. By negro I mean a black
man or woman. believe that mulattoes
sneeze occasionally, and the nearer they
are to white the more frequently they
sneeze, but even they are less sensitive
to influences which produce sneezing
than the people of the white race. 1t
has been observed also that Indians
sneeze very seldom, while Chinese sneeze
ten times as much, even, as the white
race. e."-Washington Star.

Tho Dingley Tariff Act, which re-

advance in the prices OF string Instru-
menta sold In this country, the increase
being very material and in some in
stances burdepsome.
Rohelen & Co. of this city have re-

nouncing that on account of the tariff
the coat OF strings has been advanced
70 per cent. while all musical instru-
ments upon which strings are used
there has beon an increase in price
amounting to from 90 to As per cent.
According to Levi a. Bertolstte OF

tho strings are imported from Russia,
Switzerland, Germany and other Eu.
