A NEW ANESTHETIC.

The virtues of cold water as a beverage have long been said and sung. but the use of cold water as an sn@ sthe:ic ia some- thing new. Dr. K. L. Slsich. well known European physician, has discovered that absolute local immunity from pain, even during protracted operations, can be ob- tained without resorting to general nsrco- sis of the patient, so that sufferer may remain perfectly conscious during the am putation of his hand or foot without un- dergoing the tortures so often inflicted on the battlefield, or exposing himself to the danger of syncope ever present in the operating-room. It appears that subcutaneous injections of solution of sugar or salt, nay, even of simple cold dis titled water, will produce exactly the same local ar aesthetic effects ss cocaine. This discovery has already borne the test of numerous experiments, and will now bs tried in Vienna. The explanation of the phenomenon Is simple. Local insensibility to pain is oaused in the case of cocaine by purely chemical changes; while cold water acts mechanically by means of high pressure and low temperature Under the influence of the high pressure and sudden lowering of temperature, the blood and lymph are driven from the region operated upon to places where the pressure Is less. The tissue is thus deprived of its supply of blood, and temporary paralysis of the nerves results,
 This is decidedly interesting. The re- suit of the Vienna experiments will be eagerly awaited. It Is to be hoped that they will turn out better than the Mexican spider cure did

Governor Morris Is in a position which
 must bs very trying to q man of his good
 nature and fair mind. He has been look
 ing all ever the State and can't find any
 Republicans. Therefore he cannot follow
 the courteous and equitable custom that has prevailed in Connecticut of giving mem- bers of the par y in opposition snme recog- milton and some offices. He is compelled to confne the distribution of his favors to Democrats and Mugwumps, or shall we say to Muswamps and Democratsa We know that he must regret this condition of af- fairs just as much as it is regretted by many of the honest men of the State We therefore mako bold to suggest to him that he take another look. In his hurry and in the confusion occasioned by son of his nominations it is possible that his search has not bsen thorough enough. We can hardly believe that there are no Rspubli- cans left in Connecticut, although we know that the tidal wave which swept over the State last fall was devastating one
 Don't give it up yet, Governor. Look again. Connecticut has indeed been a dark place since election day, but we be, lieve there Is light enough to make Repub. licans visible if there are any, and we be- lieve there are some. We hops that few may be found in order that the Governor may not he compelled to even seem to be B pernicious partisan, and in order that an old and approved precedt nt may not lapsa.

 I esw another lovely gown with a golden yellow skirt, the train of which started from the edge of the neck. The neck was rounded out at the back and not low. The bodice was 8 golden brown velvet. short waisted, with great sleeves. The neck was not low either front or back, and in the front broad full collar turned back and lay over the sleeves. At the back the bodice laced, not tight, but so that there was wide space, and through that space the yellow of the train showed to the neck. The effect was charming Though the model Is just the thing for the careful woman with a little extra silk for her skirt and somewhat acant supply of velvet for her bodice, yet the original was a brand new gown in the latest style, and certainly does not suggest in any way a mskeshift.

COULD'VE BEAT THE HORSES.

COULDN'T BEAT THE HORSES.
 Score another for the pool room L. F. Johnson, who had managed to get almost through his "four years at Ysle," and who would have graduated next June if he had been wiser and better, has left New Haven under what is euphoniouely called "a oloud." The cloud In his case consists of 8 lot of unpaid debte, blasted reputation and bad record.
 Quite an object lesson for those vice and innocent members of the Yale faculty who have assumed that the stories told about Yale's relations with and danger from the pool room were not true, and who have appeared reluctant to lend their aid toward having the curse removed. Here is Yale senior, with his mird supposed to be 'formed," so fascinated with "the horses" that he has spent on them all the money he could get from his guardian, all he could borrow and all he could get by pawning his goods. Pressed by h!s cred itors and mensced by the law, he has left New Haven, his unpaid board bill and his other debts behind him. He has disgraced Yale and has disgrsced himself.
 We notice an interesting statement in the account of Johnson's performance. It is that last October he stopped at tending reoitations and thereafter devoted himself to ''picking the winners" Is it possible that the supervision of the young men ct Yale is as loose as this statement indicstesa Can student spend four OF fye months of his last year in college i'll reck- less gambling and continuous neglect of his college duties without being brought to books If he can, the fact ought to be known, and if he can't the fact ought to be known. If this part of the story is un- true it ought to be publicly made plain | that 1t is. If it is true Yale university | needs little attention.
 Those who are fighting the p>ol rooms | did not need this case to spur them to effort It is only one of many which are both sad and shocking. But it ia to be hoped that 1t will lead the managers of Yale to greater zeal against the evil They can't make young men moral who are de- termined to be immoral.

 The Pennsylvania railroad is 8 big con. cern. Five hundred and thirty trains a day Is the record of the road from it's sin. gle Broad street station in Philadelphia, the past year. At the same station about 20,000, ,000 passengers arrived or departed by trains in 1899. The passenger busi- ness of the road increased by 4,OOO, 900 in that year, and has more than doubled since 1883. It sends out no less than 52 express trains per day between New York and Philadelphia, and its passenger busi- ness Is now the largest of any road in America.
 The report of the government medical inspector who has been making investiga- ttons in Europe in regard to the prob ability of an extended outbreak of cholera during tho present season shows that serious as were the reports sent out from various infected cities last summer, the truth in some, and perhaps many, cases was concealed. Iu one town, where but thirty eight cases of cholera were reported, the records showed seven hundred and eighty cases, of which three hundred and fifty were fatal. As the result of his in- vestigations the inspector concludes that the disease will rsgs extensively in Europe this summer.
 Still another occupation where the young woman appears to be destined to take the places of young men Is that of the usher in the theaters. It has been begun in one of the theaters in New York, and several other managers there are reported to be contemplating 8 similar depsrture. h. stead of the boys and young men who have been won't to meet the playgoers at the aisle and hustle them to their seats, demure young women, clad in black, with snow white collars and cuffs and aprons, will take the coupons and show the audi encs to their places.
