WASHINGTON.

Senator Kenna, of West Virginia,
says Washington special, has prepared and
will introduce into the Senate bill to create
another Cabinet officer. 1t is not the old
bill which has been so repeatedly introduced
TO make the chief OF the Agricultural Blu.

not regard that bureau OF sufficient i'm
portance alone to warrant its chiefs eleva-
ton to position in the Cabinet. What he
desires and what his bill calls for is De.
partment Of Industries. IL would include
the Agricultural Bureau, the Bureau OF
Statistics, the Geological Survey, and tho
Census Office.
1t is claimed that the efforts of the
Treasury Department to secure better cir
culatjon OF silver are meeting with crafty

A Wonderful Surgical Operation in New
York.

Wonderful Surgical Operation in New
York.
New York speciall
remarkable operation was performed at
the Charity Hospital in this city o-dsy.
Mrs. Ann Curry, who is fifty years of age.
has suffered for two years with malignant
cancer Of the abdomen. She was induced
to enter the Charity Hospital recently,
where she was visited by DIR. Thomas II.
Allen. When told that an operation from
the effects of which no patient has ever re-
covered-and only three left the operating
table alive-was her only chance of life,
Mrs. Curry announced her willingness to
take the risk rather than live longer in such
misery. The operation was performed
this afternoon. in thu presence of
several well-known New York sur
geons. The patient was placed un-
der the influence of ether, and Dr. Allen
made a long, straight incision into the
abdomen, from the pit of the stomach
downward, and the assistants tied the arte-
ries. A spray atomizer was used to sprinkle
an antiseptic fluid upon the wound. DIR.
Allen removed the abdominal organs, while
his assistants tied one artery after another.
1t was discovered that the bladder and
several surrounding organs had been at
tackled by the germs of the disease, and
these had to be scrapcd until all the traces
of cancer were gone. The work was fin
ished in a few minutes, and the opening in
the stomach was drawn together and sewed
up with fine silver wire. These stitches
were afterward supplemented with others
Of catgut The cancer weighed nearly
twelve ounces. Mrs. Curry was taken to
her room in safety, and all danger of pri-
mary shock was removed. DR.. Allen said
that it was hardly possible for the patient
to recover. but he had great hopes that the
operation would prove successful.

Tobacco.

Cigars were not known until about
1915. Previous to that time pipes were
used exclusively. Chewing has been
in vogue to q limited extent for some
time, while shutting dates back almost
as far as smoking.
The first package sent to Catherine
de Medici was in fine powder She
found that smelling it in the box af-
fected her similarly to smoking, which
led her to fill one of her smelling bot
ties with the dust. Her courtlers
adopted the habit of shutting small
portions of it up their nostrils, and as
the precious stuff became more plentiful
the shutting habit became more general,
until at last man or woman was not
considered in proper form unless they
snuffed.
The custom became SO common in
England that a snuff-box was no longer
q sign of rank. Then it was the law
prohibiting the culture of the plant, ex-
cept for medicine, was passed. About
the same time heavy tariff was placed
on the imported article, thereby prac-
tically placing it beyond the reach of
the common herd and giving royalty
complete monopoly.
Since it first began to be used as
luxury there have been conflicting
opinions in regard to its effects. The
Roman Church once forbade its use,
and the Church of England acclaimed
against it. The Wesleys opposed it
holly, and at one time it was considered
so unclean as to unfit men for member
ship in the Methodist Church.
Baptist and Presbyterian ministers
preached against it, and societies were
organized to oppose the spread of the
habit, but all to no purpose. Parents
disowned and disinherited their children
because they used it, and husbands
divorced their wives on account of their
having contracted the habit of smoking.
1t is singular that when women get
into the habit of smoking pipe they
prefer strong one. There are few
men who have nerve to smoke q pipe
such as a woman likes when she has
become a confirmed smoker. When
they first begin putting cigars they pre-
fer them very mild; but it is not long
until they want them black and strong
and lots of them. Pittsburgh Dis

Home Truths.

It's ten thousand times harder to be
Just than generous. 1t is easy enough
to give apoor woman dollar, but when
it comes to following straight line,
being just in all things, just to God, to
your family, to your children, to all
men, it is different thing. Some men
are never just to their wives. They pay
their cook So very willingly Saturday
night, but when the Woodworking,
economical, painstaking wife asks for a
little money on Monday the brute will
say, "Ob, wife, what do you want with
money!

been married ten years. His wife one
morning suggested that that was her
birthday, and he said to himself, ave
got good wife; she has been kind,
self-sacrificing and true in all respects
1 must bny her present" So he went
down town that day and walked into q
store and bought himself new hat,
consoling himself that nothing would
more please good wife than to make
her husband present of q new hat.
He's the meanest man / ever saw, and
here are great many men just that

We are too often unjust to our
children, exacting of them things we
don't do ourselves, and berating them
with our tongues when they don't un-
derstand what we want. And then we
are too mean to say ten words to make
one of them happy. Oh, how unjust
we are to wives, husband, children!
If you'll put little downright justice
in your conduct with your children
you'll have happier homes. Did you

Eskimo Candy.

1t would seem very strange, and per-
haps not very pleasant, to my young
readers to hear tallow candle or the
shin-bone of a reindeer called candy.
And yet these things may really be con-
sidered as Eskimo candy, because they
would delight the children of the cold
in precisely the way that box of bon
bons would delight you.
There is certain kind of waterfowl
IN arctic countries known as the dove
kie. 1t is about the size of duck, is
quite black, has prominent white
stripe on its wings, and its webbed feet
are of brilliant red. When sitting in
rows on the edge of greenish rock,
these little red feet are very conspicu-
Gus. Sometimes, when the men have
killed number of dovekies, the Eskimo
women cut off the bright red feet, draw
out the bones, and, blowing into the
skins, distend them as much as posi-
BILE so as to form pouches. When these
pouches are thoroughly dried they are
bright red packages, which l assure
you look much nicer than they taste,
are little Boreas' candy. In very cold
weather the Eskimo children eat great
quantities of fat and blubber; and this
fatty food, which seems to us so unin-
viting, helps to keep them warm and
well.
The only other kind of candy that
the Eskimo children have is the mar
row from the long leg or shin-bone of
the slaughtered reindeer. OF this,
also, they are very fond. Whenever o
reindeer is killed and the meat has
been stripped from the bones of the
legs, these bones are placed on the
floor of the igloo and cracked with
Ratchet until the marrow is exposed.
The bones are then forced apart with
the hands, and the marrow is dug out
of the ends with long, sharp, and
narrow spoon made from walrus'
tusk. / have eaten this reindeer mar
row froZed and cooked; and after one
becomes accustomed to eating frozen
meat raw, it is really an acceptable It'd
bit; while cooked and nicely served, it
would be delicacy anywhere. Lieut..

Garibaldi.

Giuseppe Garibaldi was born at Nice.
July 22, 1907. In early youth a.
manhood he followed the sea, and his
connection with the cause of Italian lib
erty dates from 1888, when he formed
his first acquaintance with Mazzini. In
1884 he took part in an attempted
Genoese outbreak, and was thereafter
exiled from his country for twelve
years, which he spent in South Amer
lea, in the service of the struggling re-
publics of Rio Grande and Uruguay.
In 1S4S he returned to Italy to take
part In the war with Austria. The
union Of the French forces with the
Austrians resulted in a disastrous de-
feat for Italy, and Garibaldi was again
an exile. He now came to New York.
and for several years managed candle
factory on Staten Island. Returning in
1860, to take part in the italian revo-
luton, Garibaldi soon placed himself
at the head of the army. At Melazza.
at Salerno, at Gaeta, at Capua. Carl.
baldi and his legions fought for italian
liberty. After the last-named battle
Garibaldi relinquished the control of
the army into the hands of the King.
Victor Emanuel. In 1867 Garibaldi
headed an invasion of the States of the
Church, but was defeated, and after
ward was banished to the island of Ca
prera. In 1870 he took the field again
IN the Franco Prussian war. In 1871
he was returned o Deputy to the
French Assembly for Paris, but de-
clined to sit and returned to his island
home. In 1875 he left this again to
take q seat in the italian Parliament.
He died at Caprera June 2, 1884,

AUTUMN.



His football IL 30 gentle:
He comes with 40 much grace;
And such . plaintive sweetness
Lights up his shadowy face
We hail him a. he cometh.
And ct his side we stray
Wherever valley bloometh
Or tinted fountains play.
Behind hirl burns the glory
or mingling gold and green;
The woodland robes TO meet him
In summers crimson sheen
And when at eve he slumbers,
His velvet couch Is spread
Where music's softest numbers
Are melting round his bed.
I saw him kiss the summer.
AS In his arms she lay
She trembled at his boldness.
Then blushed and turned away;
She wrapped his mantle round her
To hide her virgin brow
So light of heart he found her,
so altered leaves her now.
Can We not roam together,
And side by side illume
The hiiltops and the valleys
With mingling gold and bloom
One hand the emerald braidihg
Through many a gem-lit fold.
And one. the darker shading
OF crimson and OF gold?
Thou fiiest and he follows
Ger mountain. moor and lea
His cheek is red with anger,
No lover now is he.
He tramples the wild bowers
Thy hands have tended long;
He chills thy fairest flowers,
And mars thy tide of song.

Stay by dear Autumn's side.

Thy myrtle blossoms twine,
Nor fly him when he presses
