The Presidents Condition.

On Sunday the president had another bad
day. He had a high fever with every indica-
ton that another pus cavity is forming. The
presidents physical conditions retained their
high point all the afternoon, and at z p. m. the
pulse stood at 1O4, temperature at 1912 and
respiration at 20. 1t is firmly believed that
some kind of an operation is contemplated pro-
vided the unfavorab Q symptoms continue.
On Monday, at 8 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 the wound a curved probe, which
he thrust down behind the twelfth rib, and
pressing his knife into the integument under
meath that rib, met tho probe with the point.
Thus a free channel for the flow of pus was
formed. During the operation the president
was put under the influence of ether, his ply
sical condition being so much better and
stronger than at the former operation, that it
was considered safe. He recovered from the
anesthetic soon after the operation had been
performed. DR.. Agnew, who welded the
knife, considered the operation radical one,
and expects a decided Improvement.
Wednesaay was bad day for the president
His pulse ran up to 108 wi h a high fever, and
hope began to die out, but in the evening he
was better and slept we'll The old wound
made by the bullet has entirely healed, and it's
mouth is partially covered with new formed
skin.
On Thursday the Improvement in the presi-
dents condition was very marked. He ate
heartily, wrote a letter, apd attended to other
business Physicians are again confident that
he will recover.

Aman living neal Bloomfield. NJ j..
has contrived an arrangement. SAYS the
New York Sun, by the use of which he
is enabled TO get an hour or more Of
extra sleep in the morning, and in 9TH
er ways he finds il Of great benefit In
many ways it takes the place Of a do
nestle ervant. The gentleman has
thought out and put into practical
working an idea that occurred to him
about a year ago. He is awakened in
the morning by a shrill whistle. lie nj
once gets out Of bed, for he knows whM
that whistle means. II tells him that
all Is ready for him to get breakfast
He dresses and goes into the kitchen.
and there he finds a bright, fresh fire.
q teakettle full of boiling water, and
other conveniences for preparing his
morning meal. All this is accomplished
by means Of an alarm clock with
weights, n piece of wire, a sheet Of
sand-paper, and some matches. -Paper,
wood and coal are put into the gfate OF
his cooking stove, and a teakettle filled
with water. and having q tiny whistle
fitted into the nozzle Of the kettle, Is
placed on the stove. BY setting the
alarm In the clock he can have a firo ri
any time he wishes. When the alarm
in the clock goes of, q weight falls and
hits the wire; the wire moves and
scrapes the. matches fastened to it on
the sandpaper; the matches light tho
paper in the stove, the paper lights the
wood and coal, and soon a fire IS under
way. In a little while the water In the
teakettle boils. and. her the tiny whis-
tie gives the note Of warning that every
thing Is ready and it Is time to get up.
'.Simple thing, and yet what a com
fort it Is" the inventor says. There
is no getting up for me now an hour bo-
fore breakfast, losing that amount Of
sleep, and them waiting around for
breakfast. The arrangement costs naxt
to nothing. and 1t Is Is trustworthy ~
anything in this world. ! have not had
it patented yet. Some persons advise
me to. and perhaps / may. 1 haven't
any for sale; got Il up entirely for my
own comfort and convenience. and Il
has more than repaid me already. But
just think, II it were in general use IL
would a v many hard words and do
away with considerable domestic un-
happiness among poor people. Doubt
less it might have n tendency to make
q better feeling between some men and
their wives, by settling the vexing
question as to who should get up in the
morning and build the fire. Out of thb
question alone many divorce suits grow.
and this arrangement would prevent
them"

then have been satisfied with the post

recognized his talents, but dishked his
eccentricities and general style; more
over. he loved not the idea Of q sprout-
ing statesman who had been neither to
public school nor university; and tho
Duke of Rutland and Others of the old
nobility regarded Mr.. Disraeli as . YER

strongly supported the claims of his
