TRAFFIC IN HUMAN FLESH.
German Hospital Officials Accused Of
Serious Offenses.

A sensational case has been occu-
plying the Hamburg law courts. Re-
Gently the head OF a workingmen's as
sociation. Herr Schonberg. publicly
accused the Hamburg hospital OF car
rying on a large traffic in corpscs. He
declared that closed collins were de-
liyered to relatives of the deceased
containing only ashes and rubbish or
q wooden image. In several cases the
body had been placed in the coffin in
the presence OF the relatives, and ex-
tracted after their departure. The
leg OF a man who had suffered from q
peculiar disease was cut off and re-
placed by that of a dead woman In
this state the body was exhibited to
the relatives. A former employee OF
the hospital. whose trial for selling
bodies was the occasion Of these dis
closures. declared that he had seen
the arms of a dead man amputated
and replaced by a girls arms in order
that the mans relatives should sus-
pect nothing. 1t was also proved that
warders had cut OF and sold heads
and other parts of corpses for their
own profit and without the knowledge
of the doctors. In two cases at least
collins were buried containing only
parts OF the body.

One might think so many shovels
would be enough for a time. but this
year our sales will amount to 400.-
900 dozen. or a little less than 5.000.-
900 shovels."
Every phase of activity entering
into the prosperity Of the country has
been commented upon until II would
seem that there Is no feature entirely
new. yet the production OF shovels.

much thought about. Five million
shovels must mean great labor In Inn
provement and preparation for new
wealth taken out OF the earth. None

ports and exports, manufacturing To-
tails not before reached. and new high
bank clearings have all been consid-
cred as representative of the pros
perity nov enjoyed. yet nothing could
be so truly significant as the illustra-
tion here afforded. This is the year OF
the man with the shovel. Nothing
more basic could be found. and an apt
and expressive name for the period
would be the year Of the 100000
shovels.-Ninneapolis Journal.

cribing her fears to a bad dream. At
dawn. however. Leopold Lazzaroni, a
handsome and strong young man, the
owner Of a dairy, was found dead at
a spot some distance from his dwell
ling. After having made an examina-
ton Of the body, the doctors affirmed
that Leopold had been murdered ac-

But as the weeks passed and those
great dark eyes should have taken
note OF the things about. the parents
suddenly realized the awful truth that
their boy was blind.
Because of this The hearts OF the
parents were filled with bitterness,
almost rebellion against God. and
they searched their hearts to find an
swer to the question. why had the
affection Gomez
Such was their state of mind when
on the last Sabbath day they had
gone to the synagogue as was their
custom. for they were a devout couple,
and nad nea.s the Rabbi read from
n Of the prophets Of the promised
Messiah. who was to heal the broken
hearted, to give d%eliverance to the
captives. the recovering of sight to the
blind. The words seemed to come to
their hearts like a refreshing draught
to a parched soul. They heard moth
ing more OF the reading. and in their
-preoccupation of mind passed out OF
the synagogue without scarcely a
greeting to their neighbors and
friends.
But when at home. they had spoken
together of the work OF the prophet,
and, as they bent over the rude cradle
of their boy and looked into his sight
