leaders of the opposing forces in the senate

friends, snutfed out of each others box and
each knew where the other had his bottle
secreted in the library of his committee
room.

WASHINGTON, Jan. In these times,
when so many publN men are falling out
one with, another, when bad feeling and
testy tempers are all too prevalent, it is a
genuine relief to look on the other side Of
the picture and note the friendship of states
men. There is something innate in the
human consciousness which leads mankind
to seek confidential relationship with some
one of his own rank and sex. This is true of
men as well as of women, but so far as ones
observation goes the difference between the
friendship of men and the friendship of
women is that the former lasts much longer

The Good That Remains.

How many are there who are valu
ing themselves by what they have, and
not by what they arel What they may
have be talent, or money, or position;
1t matters not what, but it is not their
very selves. True worth cannot be
separated from a mans real self.
Money, position, even intellect, NAV
go; but the sterling, i. e., the moral,
worth will remain. A sultan OF No
rocco is said to have discovered that
one Of his viziers was becoming too
powerful. He therefore summoned
him TO tea, and complimented him on
his great wealth. The vizier becoming
vain, bCasted of the number Of his
houses, wives and slaves, and the
sultan rebuked him saying that he
was too rich To show the man exact
y what he was worth, his majesty had
him taken by the soldiers TO the slave
market, where he was put up for sale
and received only one bid of eight
pence. All his property was also taken
from him. The price which we put
upon ourselves and our fellow men put
upon US are two very different things

Death by Electricity.

The Digest gives an account of some
experiments on the effect of alternat-
ing electric currents on animal organ
isms, described in a paper read before
q recent medical congress at Rome, It
ally, and which corroborate the views
of DAsonval, referred to recently. The
current used was an alternating one,
and it was found that animals sub
jected to from fifteen hundred to two
thousand volts were not easily killed,
and that death resulted mostly from
asphyxia caused by the sudden stop
page of respiration. Frequently breath
ing started again spontaneously, and
the animal recovered completely. IN
no case was there any physiological
change noted. though in few there
were mechanical LESSONS, in themselves
cause for death. This further confirm.
alton Of D'Arsonvars formula, "a man
shocked by electricity should be treat
ed as if drowned" renders it still more
important that the electrician should
make himself acquainted with the prop
er means of resuscitation from the eff
3ects of electric shock.

synov1a- Cartilage contains no nerves,
and has no feeling: if it had, we
should have pain when we moved.
The bones are kept in place
at the joints by very strong
bands or hgaments, in hinge joints a
number of these bands are fastened
above and below, but IN ball and socket
joints they also surround the JOINT,
forming a cap, in which the joint
moves freely. In disease this smooth
cartilage gets worn away, and the ends
of bone rub together like those of a
skeleton; the pain is great, because
the bones have nerves, though the car
'tilage has none. A bone without car
tilage is like decayed tooth with an
exposed nerve. In healthy tooth the
nerve is well covered, and gives no
pain, and in healthy bone the nerves
are there, but they are only felt when
the cartilage is worn away.
