Gen. Grants remarkable improvement con-
tinues. He now works regularly on his book,
both debating to a stenographer and writing
with his own hand. On Wednesday, when
he drove out with his wife, he was weighed
and found that he had gained a pound of
flesh in the past week. The report of the
doctors is that the cancerous lump on the
tongue makes no progress; it is quiescent. F"
Medical men are now saying that what
brought Gen. Grant so near deaths door six
weeks ago was not his disease, but the too
free use of the new an@sthetic, cocaine. Its
application so near the vital parts paralyzed
the hearts action and came uncomfortably
near being fatal in its effects. In this con-
nection it is now noticed that nothing is said
about the use of cocaine by the Generals
doctors when dressing his throat.

A sKlLFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr.. Kasson, has lately forwarded to his
Government an interesting account of
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con-
sisted in the removal of Il portion
of the human stomach, involving
nearly onc.third of the organ-and,
strange to say, the patient recovered
the only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disea Sc for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is a peculiar indies
cribable distress in the stomach, n feel.
ing that has been described rs faint
"aX gone" sensation; sticky slime col
lects about the teeth, especially i'll the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails TO satisfy this peculiar
faint sensations; but, on the contrary, it
appears 10 aggravate the feeling. The
eyes are slinken, tingcd with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
Il cold perspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. After ~ time the pa
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
rlOOUly, Ills NllHu IlllCu VIII evil lOTc-
bodlngs. When rising suddenly from
recumbent position there is dizziness,
whistling sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm to keep from
falling. The bowels costivc, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood becom-
ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After time the
patient spits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fermcntcd con-
e1isien, sometimes swedish to the taste.
Oftcnlimes there is a palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable to retain any food
whatever, as the opening in the intes-
tines becomes closed, or nearly so. AL.
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with the above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and nincty-ninc cases out of a
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, disease easily removed if
treated in n proper manner. The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Seigel's Curative Syrup, a vegetable pre-
paration sold by all chemists and medi.
cine vendors throughout the world, and
by the proprictors, A. j. White Uimit,
ed), II, Farringdon.road, London, f. c.
This Syrup strikes at the very founda,
ton of the disease, and drives il, root
and branch, out of the system.

TASTE IN jokes.

There are jokes and jokes. Geo.
Eliot says: ga difference in taste
in jokes is very trying to the affec-
tions,' which wise expression is put
to the test more frequently than you
would think, if you didn't take the
trouble to think about it at all. How
often has friend told you some
thing that he considered good
joke when the recital has betrayed
a lack of sense, taste or heart which
you did not suspect before and
which lowered him very much in
YOUR esteem.

for granted that decision defining the policy OF
the government in relation to contracts for
public work has been made, and being DESTROYS
of securing the most reliable information on
this subject, so as to be enabled to
inteligently and fairly discharge the

Messrs Straub e. Co. of Buffalo. against award

contractors on the ground that they would en-

relieve It, partly of its heavy burdens and that the
evasion or s true spirit and intent is contrary the

contract labor Is species of slavery its forms
that the system of letting out national State and

Resolved, That the president of this body be dt-

test against said decision and submit the to this
federation for such action it may deem right and
proper"
To this letter Of the president of the fedora
ton Sec rotary Manning has made the following
reply:
Referring to your letter of the 18th inst,
have to reply that in determining to whom
should be given the contract for stone aud brick
work for the additional story to the Peoria (Ills
postoffice, the department was governed solely
by the bids, having in view the greatest econ
omy. Brainerd g. Co. did the whole work for
$15 1926 and this was So 085 less than the PROPOSE
ton Of the next lowest bidder. Beyond this
there was no defining of any policy by the gov
eminent.
