VERY PUNK WORK, THE MAKING OF
HUMAN BODIES, SAYS THIS PROFESSOR

, that his audience might take their
choice, with much satisfaction, when
they came to realize what a horde OF
scoundrels their immediate ancestors
OF northern and central Europe really
were. The ape. says this septuagen-
arian, behaves as we'll as his code de.
mands, but the precursors OF the An.
glo-Saxon race, despite the fact that
they knew better, were set OF as
arrant knaves as the world has ever
known.
DR.. Taylor declared that the human
body is not the exalted mechanism
Il Is Wanted to be, especially by
plous people Critical examination
OF man, he said. shows carelessness
and bad workmanship from head TO
too. Many machines and mechanisms
constructed by man are better made
and better attain the objects sought
In their construction. He took as an
example the human eve, an organ
upon which much admiration has been
lavished. and quoted the statement OF
a learned investigator TO the effect
that any maker OF optical instruments
who sent out such piece OF work
would certainly have Il thrown back
on his hands.
Speaking Of the widespread dread
OF premature burial, DR.. Taylor said
that in his experience OF so years as
n coroner he had been called upon to
visit the bodies OF thousands OF PEG.
pie presumed 10 be dead. and that
not one OF them has ever falsined the
presumption. Certainly. he says. when
the present day undertaken finishes his
manipulations with his embalming
fluids, termination in this world is ut.
terly out OF the question.

Pacific feet. under the direction OF
Admiral Swinburne. The Indiana will
be a total loss. estimated at 100000.
The California is now sailing for
San Francisco, where she will arrive
wednesday.
The Indiana, which plies between
San Francisco and Ancon, left Ma
rattan April /, northbound. She went
aground in a dense fog. Capt. j. F
Robinson. OF the Indiana. and a few
volunteers, remained aboard the
doomed steamer, declaring that they
would not leave until she went to
pieces. The Indiana lies in a pro
tected position, but she is rapidly
filling with water and must sink or be
torn to pieces on the rocks.
Tugs from Magdalena are making
frequent trips between the Indiana

the 100000 cargo. In the cargo are
1880 tons OF bar iron and steel from

Example of the Workings of the New
England Conscience"

A woman who has spent many sum
mers at Haines Falls in the Catskills
tells the following story:
"A mountain wagon full of summer
excursionists stopped at the hotel one
morning. They wanted to see the fa!is
turned on. In order to assure good
flow of water there is sort OF lock
built above the falls. The lock is al
ways kept closed except when some
body makes application to see the
fails; then. on payment Of quarter,
the gates are thrown open and line
flow Of water pours forth. The old man
who had charge of the falls went out
and opened the gates the visitors
were delighted, paid their quarter ana
drove away. About half an hour later
another wagonload drove up to the
hotel and asked to see the falls. Again
the old man went out and opened the
gates; but owing to the previous drain
on the water supply the result was far
from satisfactory, and the spectators
were not enthusiastic. The old man
noticed the dissatisfaction Of the visit
ors, and was, perhaps, somewhat con-
science stricken, for, when he was Of
fered a quarter to pay for opening the
gates, he hesitated a moment, then
said:
