A surgical instrument of recent inven-
ton is wire loop, which is heated red
hot by electricity and used for cutting
off tonsils and like excisions. This has
suggested an instrument for curling
bangs which will do away with the
necessity for gas jets and alcohol lamps.
The electrical apparatus will be attached
in similar manner TO the curling tongs.
The hair can be wound around the tongs
while they are vet cold, and the connec-
tion then established, which will heat
the iron to the reQuisit degree as register
ed by the electrometer. The superiority
of this method over the old is apparent.
There will be absolutely no danger of
burning the hair, the forehead or the
fingers. and the curling will be much
moro seedily accomplished. These daily
practical uses of electricity has given an
impetus TO the subject in the schools. A
requisite to degree will yet be: Every
girl her own electrician.

Showing In the Presidential Race.
In the current canvass Cleveland
stands like Saul among the prophets,
head and shoulders above the rest In
no state Of the forty-four is there a
local candidate who, even in his local
ity, can measure popularity with him
Mr.. Stevenson, his immediate asso-
ciate, is greatly admired in Illinois.
but Mr.. Cleveland is properly placed
first upon the national democratic
ticket 1t is not that this leader of the
democracy has created for himself the
devoted personal following which at
tended SO magnetic a democrat as
Douglas The man seems not to have
created affection for himself. but rather
to have engendered something of that
respect for his conscientious regard for
duty, his constancy in the performance
of public trust which has given preem-
inent character to the first OF the presi-
dents of this republic.
Every in the country there is
profound respect for Grover Cleveland,
an absolute confidence in his integrity
as a public servant. Time and again
during his administration he demon
strated that he would rather be right,
as he viewed the right, than be merely
expedient and attain personal popular
ity and success. He might have post
poned the tariff reform issue until his
second term and ordinarily he would
have been reelected. He might have
abstained from vetoing the dependent
pension bill. which became 4 law dur

Orchid Tea,

1t appears, from London paper, that
Frenchmen have been drinking orchid
tea for fifty years, and that. the con-
sumption of this expensive delicacy has
much increased of late. The orchid
from which the tea is made is a mem Der
of one of the handsomest and most ex-
pensive families-the Angroecum- 1t
grows in the forests of Bourbon and
Mauritius, and the scientific know it as
Angroecum fragrans. The commercial
virtue of the plant lies in the strong
perfume of its leaves. The genus is
allied to vanilla. and it is only neces-
sarv s'to touch the fresh leaves for the
fingers to remain impregnated with
the aroma which remains after the
leaves have been dried. This process is
very simple, apparently. No heat is
applied and no coloring matter. The
decoction is equally easy. You just lay
the leaves and stalks in cold water
about one gramme to a tea-cup-more
or less, according to taste-close the
vessel tight and boil for ten minutes
The tea may be sweetened, and milk
and rum bring out the flavor of the va
nilla more strongly. 1t is as good cold
as hot, and may be warmed up without
deterioration. Material enough for
fifty cups is sold in Paris for two francs

Harrison, and so avoided the buzzing OF
interested claim agents about his ears
But that which he saw to be right he
persisted in performing without refer
ence whatever to its effect upon his po-
litical fortunes. He is single-minded,
sincere, honorable, courageous. He is
sturdy and faithful rather than mag
netic and brilliant. Citizens of the re-
public repose profound confidence in
him. They are now the more willing
to give him their suffrageS since they
discover now their failure to uphold
him in the tariff reform which he pro-
posed, not as an aid to himself but as
policy needed for the welfare of the re-
public, has resulted in the administra
tion of Harrison and the triumph of
high taxation for the benefit of protect
ed industries 1t is noted on all hands
that there is very little stir in the can
vass, and friends of the administration
beneficiaries of the protective tariff,
members of the Reading combine, pro-
prietorS of those trusts which, employed
in restraint of trade. pour abnormal

pie. They assume that there is no pur-
pose 10 cndnge the existing cOnulIIOHS.
They think that the fight is all gone
out of the people whom they are pluck
ing day after day. They may be very
much mistaken. 1t is not necessary
to make tremendous stir among the
electorate of America in order to induce
them to believe that the man who sent
forth the tariff message of 1887. which,
though it was not followed immediate
ly by his reelection, resulted in 1890 in
complete vindication at the polls of the
tariff reform idea
The campaign of education has been
made substantially. Intelligent elect
ors have considered it thoroughly. The
fact that the apathy is as great as to
Harrison's candidacy is the factor in f,
the canvass which spectators upon the |

humiliating to those who have pre-
tended to draw comfort from his recent

signified nothing, the republicans have
grasped at it as welcome straw in d
sea of troubles, and have given 1t any
sort of Interpretation that suited their
desire or necessity The democrats,
while smiling at the conclusions
which the republicans have chosen to
extract from it, have been curious to
know what sort of information Mr..
Peck based his report upon. and being
refused this reasonable request, resorted
to the aid Of the courts to compel Mr..
Peck, who is state officer, to allow
the public to see his authority for his
official publication. This remarkable
funct ionary was given time by the
couri 10 answer why he should not
com. with this demand, and he i'm
