VICE PRESIDENT SYKES of the Chica-
20 and Northwestern is reported to have
said that during June the road carried less
than half the quantity of grain that it car
ried in June, 1880, yet the gross earnings
were over $500, 900 in the excess Of those of
June, 1850. The statement shows an enor-
mous increase in the transportation of
freight other than grain.

Journalism In a Crisis.

So, on the whole, though we cannot as
journalists help fee ling humilieted at the
thought that the presidents life is to be
saved by surgery rather than ~ good
journalism" he may yet pull through the

course, in all cases, whether Of attacks up
on character or formation of cabinets or
gunshot wounds, to call mat once the

The Presidents Condition.

On Sunday the president had anothe, bad
day. He had a high fever with every indica
ton that another pus cavity is forming. The
preside nts physical conditions retained their
high point all the afternoon, and at T p. m the
pulse stood at lO4, temperature at 101.2 aud
respiration at 90 1t is firmly believed gen.
orally that some kind of an operation is con-
templated provided the unfavorable symptoms
continue. 90"
On Monday, at O'Clock, the physicians de-
termined that another cutting was necessary.
The operation proposed was to cut underneath
the twelfth rib up into the pus cavity and drain
the wound from that point. DR.. Agnew intro
duced into tho wound curved probe, which he
thrust down behind the twelfth rib. and press
ing bis knife into the integumnt underneath
that rib, met the probe with the point, Thus
a free channel for the flow of pus was formed.
During the operation the president was put I'M
der the influence of ether, his physical condi-
ton being 80 much better and stronger than at
the former operation, that it was considered
safe. He recovered from the effects of the an
esthetic soon after the operation had been per-
formed. Dr.. Agnev, who welded the knife,
considered the operation radical one, and ex.
poets decided Improvement

The Great Wisconsin Scandal.

The committee of Methodist clergymen ap-
pointed to hear the case of Rev. Mr.. Atwater
and Miss Kate Northrup, met at Knapp, Wis,
on the 18th. Two Witnesses swore positively
that they saw the acs of adultry, and two others
swore to circumstances under their own OBJ
servation strongly confirming the charge To
this Mr.. Atwater and Miss Northrup interposed
a sworn denial of the main charge, and pro-
duced evidence of previous good character.
of the committee that the elder was innocent OF
the accusation. As soon as it was known q
warrant was Issued for Mr.. Atwatsr's arrest
to answer to the crime of adultry with Miss
Northrup. A trial in court of justice, what
ever may be the result will give greater Salts
faction to those who seek only Justice than an
ecclesiastical finding.

OF the physical condition of Mr. Glad
stone, Mr.. Labouchere says in the London
Truth; Il doubt whether the hard work is
really telling on him. He has 80 wondrous
an amount Of intellectual energy that what
would PROSTATE most men is to him but
healthful exercise. When, the other day,
he was laid up and ordered by his medical
advisers to remain in perfect quiet, his idea
of rest was to take the new version of the
New Testament and to collate it with the
Greek. While sitting in the house of COM

seems to take positive pleasure in pulver-
izing his opponents, and this he does as
easily as though they we've flies. Heis only

The dishes on which meats, fish, jellies
and creams are placed should be large
enough to leave a margin of an inch or so
between the food and the lower edge of the
border of the dish.
It is we'll TO pour the sauce for cold pud-
dings around the pudding, especially if
there will be contrast in color.
It is great improvement to have the
sauce poured around the article instead of
over it. and to have the border of the dish
garnished with bits of parsley, celery tops
or carrot leaves.
When sauce is poured around meat or
fish the dish must be quite hot, or the
sauce will cool quickly.
Small rolls or sticks Of bread are served
with soup. Potatoes and bread are usually
served with fish, but many people prefer to
serve only bread. Butter is not served at
the more elegant dinners. Two vegetables
will be sufficient in any course. Cold dish
es should be very cold, and hot dishes
hot.
1t is good idea to have dish of sliced
for those brojled or fried.
Melons, cantaloupes, cucumbers and ra d
ishes, and tomatoes when served in sli ces
| should all be chilled in the ice-chest.
Be particular MOTTO override the work of dec.
Grating. Even simple garnish adds much
to the appearance of dish, but too much
decoration only Injuries it. Garnishes
should be SO arranged as not to intefere
with serving.
Potato balls and thin fried potatoes make
nice garnish for all kinds of fried and
broiled meats and fish.
Thin slices Of toast, cut into triangles,
make good garnish for many dishes.
Whipped cream is a delicate garnish for
all Bavarian creams, blanc manages, frozen
buildings and ice creams.
Arrange around jellies or creams bor-
der of any kind Of delicate green, like smi
lax or parsley, or Of rose leaves, and dot il
with bright colors- pinks, geraniums, YER
benas or roses. Remember that the green
should be dark md the flowers small and
bright. A bunch of artificial rose leaves,
for decorating dishes of fruit at evening
parties, lasts for years. Natural leaves are
preferable when they can be obtained.
Wild roses, buttercups and nasturtiums,
if not used too freely, are suitable for garn-
fishing salad.

The man is not dead, but he will die, I
think, and if he does die without speaking

"Then he went through the front door

heard him running down the silent road. I
turned to my patient and found him still
breathing, but quite unconscious. .
Terrified and bewildered I hardly know
how long it was before I heard hurrying
footsteps again on the road and presently,
having Jet himself in by. a latch-k:y, my
husband appeared with d stranger, the doc
tor, q seedy, needy looking man.
Rapidly examining his patient, he said,
with his finger on the pulse:
"'About twenty minutes since he was

oh, will he die?"

husband buried his face in his hands for a
moment. :. ,s..f2.

fierce look checked me.

patients lips once more with brandy, he
said with professional gravity: I.

you must prepare for the worst e.
c..'Ah, I feared SOL said my husband.
My poor brother was supposed to have
disease of the heart; it was the opinion ex-
pressed by physician two years ago. So
"'This is not the heart, said the doctor,
