VA The next great advance in anaesthe'
sia will be along the line Of producing
IN agent which will insure insensibil-
~ to pain without loss Of conscious
aess. Sir Benjamin Richardson has
seen experimenting, and while he has
sot entirely satisfied himself he thinks
! method may be adopted which will
BE far superior to any now in use. The
most promising agent is methylic ether.
It destroys sensibility before conscious
less, and recovery from it is rapid.

The. good roads committee of Mas.
sachusetts have struck upon very
novel but effective manner of promot-
Ing their plans. Instead Of using the
money at their disposal to make con.
tinuous stretches of good road as ia,
as the money held out, they have al.
ternated good roads with bad, each be.
Ing one mile in extent. Thus the farm.
er hauling heavy load to market
spins merrily along for a mile over
an admirable road and then strikes a
mile OF muck and mire. This makes
him swear, Of course, and when he
finally gets through it to the next mile
Of good road he appreciates it all the
more and is all the more miserable
when he strikes the second mile OF bad
road. The committee figure that by
this means they can easiest and quick
est arouse general interest in the i'm.
! iovement Of the country highways.

DISCREDITED IN HIS HOME.

w

kinley viii carry Candidate Bryan's
own precinct by three votes to one for
his opponent. and by plurality larger
than that obtained by Harrison four
years ago over the combined Populist-
Democratic vote for president. This re-
suit, which seems doubly remarkable in
view of the Democratic candidates
popularity at home, has been estab-
lished by a careful house-to-house poll
of the precinct, which is a. in the Fifth
ward. All citizens answered courteous
ly, and it is believed that the poll is ac-
curate. The final figures We're; Nc
kinley, 2i6; Bryan. II; Bentley, Il;

Gratis, o. undecided. II,
In 1892, when Mr., Bryan was can
dldate for congress, the vote on presi-
dent was: Harrison, Republican, 1872,
Cleveland, Democrat. 40: Weaver, Popu-
list, 81. The vote for the Democratic
and Populist candidates was thus 81, or
twenty mere than Bryan bids fair to
receive this year. At the same time
Mckinley will apparently receive eigh-
teen votes more than Harrison received.
Mr.. Bryan received l23 votes for con-
gress and his opponent, Judge A, w,
Field, polled 1G2.
