A portion OF each organ and tissue in
the body is preserved in alcohol, and
these are filed systematically and care
fully indexed by means Of a card cata-
Iogue index. Smaller portions OF these

parafine. and these are also carefully

specimens microscopic sections are
made, which are also filed AMI indexed.
The microscopic sections are so hled

THE further claim made in favor of
Boston as a site Of a great school of this
kind is the general point Of view prevail
ing there. 1t is claimed that in New
York the idea is 10 establish a large
practice as early, as possible, while in
Boston the desire for scientific work has
been very marked In recent years, and
has taken precedence OF the desire to
make money. As a result there is large
proportion Of we'll trained scientific OBJ
servers, enthusiastic young men. who are
! desirous and able to pursue scientific in
vestlgations, and who have been trained
as investigators aad teachers. and not as
practitioners. These Investigators must
be discovered. They cannot be made

can finish up to such an advantage that
one would never know Of the extreme
slenderness or feshiness Of either one.
Wrinkles? oh, no; one may be long
past fifty and never have a wrinkle. II
only the photographer can get an ink
ling-which he nearly always does-that
the person sitting doesn't want the
wrinkles to show.
Spirit Photos.
There are all sorts and kinds Of
photographers. even those who take
pictures Of the departed spirits of dear
ones. This, however, can be readily
explained" said a prominent photog-
rapher.
These spirit pictures are merely
work for the very imaginative person.
For instance, lady comes into one
of these galleries and wants a picture
of herself and the departed spirit of her
mother. A plate Of some one about
the age that the photographer would
think her mother was is procured and
the gelatine all washed OFF. The plate

u" YOUR HIGHNES"

|O ADDRESS the President of the
United States with the title OF
Your Highness''-how would
this proposition be entertained
nowadays?
Yet this question was once seriously
proposed in the Senate.
After the Constitution had been
evolved, and under and by virtue OF 1t
the Executive. Senate and House OF
Representatives were chosen. among
other matters that cropped up was one
as to what style or title should be
used when addressing the President or
Vice President. The Constitution did not
provide for any titles other than those
indicated by the respective offices. and,
in the opinion of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, this settled the matter.
The Senate. however, leaned toward
other and more high sounding modes OF
address than those employed in tho
Constitution, and the two bodies In con-
sequence appointed committees to con-
fer on this important subject. The con-
ference resulted in the committees re-
porting adversely to the use of other IL
ties than those of the Constitution. This
report the Senate rejected and requested
the House TO appoint another commit
tee of conference.
When the message from the senate

He advanced the idea that perhaps
the race is returning in the last decade
to something of the bodily perfection
enjoyed by primitive man. This might
be accounted for. he said. because more
hygienic habits of living are practiced
than formerly. The barking back of the
race to the habit of walking with the
toes turned in. he said. might be only a
return to healthy practice Of the So
called barbaric ages out of sympathy
with other rejuveratcd functions Of the

question OF What style of titles it will
be proper TO annex to the offices OF
President and Vice President OF the
United States?" reached the House II
started a lively and more or less acri-
monious debate Thomas Tudor Tucker
said: What, sir, Is the intention of this
business? VIII it not alarm our fellow
citizens? VIII 1t not give them Just
cause for alarm? VIII they not say that
they have been deceived by the conven-
tion that framed the Constitution
And then Mr.. Tucker proceeded to ex-
pose the incongruity of titles in re-
public, and the danger that such mon
archical style of address would entail.
Other members made remarks for and
against the appointment Of another con-
ference committee on this question. and
the majority seemed strongly opposed to
1t. until quiet little member from Nir-
ginia-James MadisOn-arose and made
few remarks favoring the appoint
ment of this committee.
Up to this tims there had been con-
siderable speaking for effect indulged in
about the danger that threatened the
republic. Mr. Madison, however, said
that while the House should adhere TO

the Constitution, he nevertheless felt

then expressed a disbelief in the danger
of titles as portrayed by his colleagues
and thought. for his part, that "a Pres
ident of the United States. clothed with
all the powers given in the Constitution
would not be a dangerous person TO the
liberties of America If you were to load
him with all the titles of Europe and
Asia" Mr. Madison then appealed In
the interests OF harmony and as cour-

exceeds any possible revenue from STU
dents. It is necessary. therefore, that
they should be heavily endowed. and
such endowment cannot be secured ex-
cept for schools which are under the
conservative control of the larger uni
yersities. a further reason for this uni
versity connection is that 1t is impossi-
BILE to get men of first-class ability and
reputation to connect themselves with
schools which do not have the univer-
sity association.
In the second place, such school
must be in a large city in order to have
access to the hospital material. In or
der to get this there is sometimes
wide geographical separation between
the university and its medical school.
. The distance, however. between
the Harvard University at Cambridge
and its medical school in Boston is so
small as to present no practical diff
culties.
There are In Boston three large,
completely equipped laboratories for
general pathological research-the Sears
laboratory at the medical school, the
pathological laboratory at the Boston
City Hospital, and the Pathological lab
oratory at the Massachusetts General
Hospital. AT both of the hospital lab
oratories are large autopsy rooms. AT
the Boston City Hospital an average of
800 autopsies yearly are performed, and
200 surgical specimens are examined
yearly. At the Massachusetts General
Hospital 250 autopsies are performed,
and 500 surgical specimens are exam
ined. At the Long Island Hospital there
is an autopsy room where $50 autopsies
year are performed. These autopsies
provide I large amount OF surgical path
ological material which can be used fol
the study and calculation of surgical
problems. These laboratories also pro

er, following the example OF
Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan, who
had promised more than ST.

trip to a photograph gallery oD
~ a rainy day is a great deal more
interesting than one usually
supposes. This is true largely
because of the fact that the proprietor
is not busy as rule in inclement wealth
er and has inclination as well as the
opportunity to talk shop" The pro-
fessional picture-taker is always able TO
converse upon every topic on the face
of the earth, and it is also necessary for
him to be able to converse entertaining
ly with all ages and conditions of man
kind. 1t is essential that he shall know
to whom he shall say so much. and tn
whom he must say great deal more.
The professional photographer must be
able to fiatter without giving offense;
to see and correct defects without in
dicating that they exist.
Jack of All Trades.
1t is necessary for him to be per-
feet Jack of all trades" he must be
q connoisseur in matters pertaining to
modes: he must know all about tailor
ing-that for men, and that for women
he should be up in the art Of the mas
seur and the tonsorialist; and last, but
not least. It is of prime importance that
his knowledge and mastery of the art
of entertaining babies shall be complete.
Success With Infants.
Most persons have the impression that
babies under eighteen months consti-
tute the greatest bane to the picture
taker, but this is a mistake. 1t is very
little trouble TO take a photograph oi
an infant, because the gallery man has
numerous schemes and devices to at
tract the attention and amuse the little
one. The time when it is difficult to
manage a child in the picture gallery is
when a child is between eighteen months
and six years of age. They are suffi-
ciently developed to know when they
are ndNluR d bonSAt eAN 4'AN
children, they never want to do what is
wanted of them But IL is also at th
age that the most beautiful pictures
are made, because of the grace of tn
children in posing. First-class photog
raphers always allow them to pos
themselves. A child between the age o
six and twelve is over conscious an'

Took Thought as to His Toes.
A prominent photographer Of Wash

to amuse the little one he discovere
that, like most babies, he enjoyed play

This is. of course, just what the pho,
tographer wants. He Immediately makes
a mental note of these remarks, and
when he examines the plate the defects
are at once seen and particular care Is
taken to remove them.
Finishes the Toilet.
The photographer often puts the fin
ishing touches on a mans toilet. An
old gentleman went into one of the large
studios the other day to get for his pic
ture. He did not notice that he had for
gotten his cuff until he had returned
home, and, of course, was very much
worried over it. When the proof came he
was delighted to see that the photogra-
pher had very generously supplied him
with nice pair.
Another man did not have time to have
his hair cut, but the proof shows him
as if he had just come from the barber
chair.
