lic by a committee of eminent surgeons
and professors, shjs Henry ('. Merwin,
in Atlnuf i'v Thin document,
which whs indorsed by l'rrsidrnt Kllot
and other distinguished persons, ex
pressly sanctions the practice of vivi
section, without the use of anaesthet
ics, however painful the operation, iu
those cases (and they are numerous)
where to line an anaesthetic would di
minish the value of the experiment.
Further, the stieinent rxprrssly de
fends the custom of vivisecting dumb
animals not only for exiieriment. hut
tlsn for mere purposes of illustration
in the classroom; and it makes no dis
tinction in this respect between pain
ful oierations and those in which an
aesthetics are used whereas in Eng
land vivisecting in the classroom with
out the use of anaesthetics is prohib
ited liy law. The language of the state
ment is in the highest degree decorous
and euphemistic, but when examined
It will be found to covsr every form of
cruelty that can be perpetrated in the
name of science.
The question of farm labor in Louisi
ana is becoming very serious, reports
the New Orleans Picayune. The ne
groes, who have heretofore done all
the plantation work, are flocking to the
towns and cities, where they can get
occasional jobs and find other means
of living without having to perform
regular work. In Louisiana there is no
season when work nn the plantation
ceases. There is as much done out of
doors in the winter as in the summer,
and as a consequence laborers must re
side upon the plantation, so that they
cun perform labor daily, which goes on
all the year round. This is not the
case on farms in northern states,
where the winter weather puts an end
to all agricultural labor for the sea
son. f
The negro, left to his own devices,
has found out that a life of ease, with
the doing of occasional spurts of work,
is more to his taste, and this has caused
a movement from the farms to the
towns, where the colored people herd
together and content themselves with
doing odd jobs. The negro women in
town go out, with more or less regular
ity, to daily service; but they return
at night to their own quarters, and the
greatest part of their earnings go to
support the idle men. The Louisiana
country papers are complaining of the
great lack of laborers. Considerable
numbers of Italians are coming into
the state direct from their native coun
try, and they are said to be industrious
and reliable.

Ada It Bailey keeps a good many
shesp on his farm in the town of Ur
bane, says a Bath (N. Y.) report. He
notieed tha other day, on going out to
feed his flock, a black spot on the back
of one of the sheep.
When he went to look at it the spot
instantly disappeared. Than another
black spot appeared for an instant on
the sheep's back and as quickly went
out of sight.
This time the farmer saw that the
black spot was a mouse, and while he
was looking at the place where it had
been a third black spot came into sight
at the same place on the sheep's back
and disappeared as the others had.
Then Farmer Bailey thought it was
time to investigate, and he thrust his
hand down Into the sheep's thick'coat
of wool and found three snug and cosy
mouse nests, each with a new-born lit
ter of young ones In it. Hs lost no time
in breaking up those odd mouse colo
nies, and then looked over others of
his sheep, with the result that he found
four more in the depths of whose wool
mice had chosen warm places to build
nests and bring forth their young.
Ten nests were found in all, contain
ing an aggregate of HO young mice.
The sheep seemed not only not to
mind the presence of the mouse nests
in their fleeces, but acted as if they
were not plensed with their removal
and the destruction of their contents.

burirlars hsd finally been foiled at
every point, when nitro-glycerine
made its appearance, says the New
York Times.
Ilurglurs were quick to see that
this powerful liquid, which is still the
active principle of guncotton and
dy tin mite, put nearly all the safes on
the market at their mercy. Hut it re
quires ti'ie highest mechanical skill and
a great deal of exjierlence and knowl
edge to use nitro-glycerine upon a safe
successfully.
Very few people are aware, however,
how simple are the instruments need
ed by the modern burglar in opening a
safe with nitro-glycerine, and just how
he proceeds to business. His outfit
consists of a few pounds of putty, a
sufficient quantity of nitro-glycerine,
a hammer and ierhaps a couple of
thin wedges. With these, and a fuse
and matches, he is ready to "negoti
ate" the so-called burglar-proof safe,
and the degree of his success depends
almost wholly upon himself.
A very short time is needed In which
to "blow" a safe. The first thing done
is to make a careful inspection of the
upper door janh of the safe. .No mut
ter how tight-litting and carefully ud-
juster the door of a safe may be, it is
claimed that it is impossible to make
it so that a wedge hardly thicker .h:in
a rssor edge will not find entrance.
A few taps with a hammer drive in the
thin edge of the wedge, making an
opening which may not be any hicger
than a thin sheet of paper. The wedge
is driven further, a thick wedge is in
serted, and this is followed, perhaps,
by a still thicker one, each wedjre onlv
reeeiving a few dull blows until finally
the opening between the door and th"
wall of the safe is perhaps a sixteenth
of an inch wide. Leaving the Wist
wedge in place, the burglar now turns
to his lump of putty and goes to
work on the bottom of the safe
door.
The minute erack hre where the
doro and the safe meet is carefully
puttied up along its whole length, and
the line of putty is continued ud for
about a foot on each end along the
sides of the door. The burglar with
his putty next makes a "cup" at the
top of the door directly facing the
opening made by the wedire. When the.
cup is finished he fills it up with nitro
glycerine. ITiisj slowly nercolatea
throuifh the thin opening made bv the
weuie, ami as soon ns the cup has emp-
i.co nseii it is tilled sirain. Now. what
happens?
The iiitro-glvcerine does not simply
disappear ill the safe among the books
and drawers. It slides down the top
of the door at an angle of A degrees
and follow., down the inside of the
door. Instead of restinir on the bot
tom of the mf,., ,. nilro-glvcerine
follows the "steps" into whVh the
door b. fitted, li.-re the nitr oclvc.-r-me
t oile t,, th, pimy on the outside
of the door preienting its escape.
The burirlnr keeps pouring in nitro
.rlyccriiie by the aid of his "cup" until
he l.eluns that the interstices be
tween the bottom of the .loop and
ne sate are full of li,id. making a
layer under the door at an angle
of about forty-five degrees. The
safe is then ready to be "blown."
which merely consists in setting off the
exprosive. So powerful is nitro-glycerine
that it wrenches the door from
its place aud leaves the inside of the
safe at the mercy of the burglar.
