Tmk new growth of patriotism which ■ we noted Ae other day os a hope, indl- j eated by the patriotic fervor arouaeiJ for the Puritan in the yacht race stnH'k a < Bostou man just that way, as reported | tens by the New York Hun; •T hope thb race will drive AnelomanU to an ' ignomlukia!i destb.'* wid one ot ibe croup. ; '^ou'vegot It b«! here In Njw York.

But give us every- j thing else American.’' Then he pul up hU gUas ^ and squinted at the Puritan. j Anglomania is a enrioas disease; the . French hare it to some extent and at differ* I ent times it has been epidemic with them— | notably as detailed in Mr. Otto Trevellyan’s j charming "Life of Charles James Fox.” It ^ were a profound, pbiiosopbical nudertaking, perhaps, to inquire into this phenomenon, and we merely note here our belief that one potent cause of it with us—the i>owerful in* fiumicee of laws, literature and language being reckoned—is the education which our protective tariff laws are. The first thought at any new discovery, of some miueral, say, ia to get a protective tariff put upon it, if there not be one already; the logic of which actually is that the greater the resources the more we nml ‘‘protec- j tion.” Thus we have taught ourselves, and 1 notably so for a quarter of a ceutury, tliat we ! are not able to compete with any; that wc { are not their equals, can not stand a fair j field and no favor. This spirit brought into contact with the spirit encouraged in the English by free trade, aud born in them, t04j, ; of past successes, results in our bowing down : and looking up to them as superior be- < ings, iicuce Anglomania. Hut us we are of the same stock as they are, I at bottom as iusufferahly self-conceited, ' once we enter upon a system which will bring ; OB into a competition where real merit and | not an artificial coddling must be our , defense, and wc may exjfcct to see an ending | of the humiliating servility which now dis- : graces our name. IndiaxaPOI.IS can not get away from tlie j significance of the coming city election If { she would. It involves the passing of judg- ! ment on a principle which is coming up for j settlement in almost every i^ate in the ; Union. It is the taxation of the liquor j traffic. • It is not that the question of a one- 1 liundred-dollar license has been pushed for- ; ward here. Tliat amount simply happens to be the limit as the law stands. It is the 1 qnettion put- by a growing feeling that the traffic does not bear its propor- I tion, of the common burden of the public exiwnse; it is part of the general question and simply assume.^ , the onc-hundred-dollnr-shape became exist- 1 ing law molds it to that shape. It is under- j stood and not gainsaid, that the liquor traffic | costs the city in direct exm-nses over one ' thousand dollars jier week. What it *00118 ! indirectly can simply be iudicated by this. ' This §52,000 is an under estimate of the di- | rect annual cosh outgo of the city because of | ^this traffic and because of it alone. Toward { this the traffic contributes a few dollars | over $10,000, and ultimately wont ! Contribute a cent; so the exigencies of the ! situation fall out with the general tendency | toward a taxation of the liquor traffic, and i this conjunction makes the demand for a | hundred-tlollar license. It is nojiarty policy | or crusade; it is simply a growing public | recogiiitiuu of the justice of relieving somewhat the burden of taxation by shifting its weight to this extent to those who are responsible for it. One beauty of the adjustment, too, is that it is voluntary. The traffic is not collared by the sheritf, so to speak, us a piece of real estate is, and corajielled to pay taxes whether the owner thereof a-ssents or not. It is purely voluntary. Those who do not intend to pay cau quit, and thus the good tendency of tlie ikx is double, toward increased revenue and deerea.sed traffic. The people of Indiaunpolis we believe are awake to the significance of the situation. They must stick a pin here, not somewhere else. On next election-day they must declare themselves in favor of this principle.

Tiie liquid used by Professor Igtskowski coiisi.sts ot a mixture of carlMilic acid, chloride of zinc, and corrosive sublimate, with the addition (if an rnloriferous t.-sence. This solution is as clear as crystal and pleasant to

To obtain certain results, the operation I tbe nietlnid of which the Professor explnined in great detail) must be conducted with the utmost care and attention. But success, when once aeiiieved, is as complete as could he desired. -V IkkIv skilltully treated by i’rofessor l.-iskowski’s melliod assiimes “the natur.il and agreeah.V exj)re.ssion” it bore imme’iiately after de'ath, and the skin becomes firm aud as white aS Car-

Exhumation of bodies thus ari’served. and tlie condition of the spi'cimens in the anatomical museuni, which after the lapse ot years are ns jierfeet as on the day they were >ire|uired, prove that they will remain intact almost iuJefiiiiiely, always provided tliat the Kjiecmiens are kept in air-iight eiibiiiets, and the bodies . placed in hermet;eaUy-closcd cotiins or other reeeptaelc.s. Whether it be wortli while to incur the trouble and expense whie’i Professor I.askowski’s method involves in order to iireserve human rem.uiis Irom decay may be open to doubt, hut there eaii be no question tiiut he has brought the art of embalming lo a perfeciiou which it never jireviou.-ly iif;nin;d. In other respects his antiseptic discoveries liave (iroved eminently useful. For, besides preserving anatomical siieeimens wiili the results above descril)ed, he has a way of treating subjects Ibr dissection whereby they are deprived of all olf-nsive odor, aud students of surgery are enabled to conduct their ojicratious wiihoiit the leu.st sense of di.scouilort or danger to

“All life is a joke to tiie Japanese,” says I,ie;iiei;niit Wyckoll, of the IJydivgraj'hic Bureau, who lived in Jnpiiii for five years. “During all tliat time I never saw aii.v one angry. I hardly lielieve that they could lose tlieir temjiers if they should try. They ca:i kill or he killed with the most perfect savoirfaire.

Dr. Burroughs, in the Therupeiinc i Gazette, states that nitro-glycerine as a heart ; stimulant, is far sujierior to brandy, and may 1 be given with confidence whenever the ad- ! iiiiuistr.ttiou of brandy is indicated. Two |<droi>s of a 1 jier cent, solution are equivuI lent to an otiiiee of brandy, and the efleets of I the drug are felt immediately. It creates no ’ i unnatural craving. The Doctor gives a detailed I account of the cases in which he has emI idoyed it, and finds, after an extensive exI jierieiice, that it is of great value in shock I from accidents, faintues.s utter surgical opernI tioii', failure of the heart's action due to , ehlorolonu, tor opium poisoning, asthma and

The Mikado is the only one who is expected to look at life gravely, and lie makes np in his existence for the levity of all his subjects. He is so completely secluded that he may be said to live in a tomb; Altogether, Japan is a delightful place to live in, and American and English naval officers who go there always hate to leave. Aside from the charm of the country and oliiiiate, I put its people for ho.cpitnlity, warmth and cheeriuess against any nation on the earth.” The Old Trouble. I Miiiueapoils Mall.] A North Minneapolis lady recently engaged a new servant, and one day instructed her to tell callers she was not at home. A visitor asking for her mistress, Bridget replied, “No, mum, she’s not at hum.” “When will she return?” asked the caller. “Faith, thin, aud she won’t return!” said

Bridget.

“U'hat, nas .she gone away for good?"’ “Och, murther, she’s not gone. \Vhin she’s at hum she’s not at hum. and wnin she’s not at hum she's at hum. Come whiu she's not at hum.” Triuniplis of German Surgery. Speaking of the triumphs of German surgery, a writer point.s out a number of men now walking around in the Empire with only a fractional ]>art of their digestive organs. Some are referred to as bein^ without a spleen, or having but a single kidney, others lack a gall bladder and szveral meters of intestines, while the climax is reached by “the man without a stomach.”
