Grating Among Animals.

Hopes have been entertained that
the bones of certain of the lower ami
mails, such as ra bbits and calves. might
be grated upon the human skeleton,
thus adding an important new branch
to surgery. But the most recent ex-
periments tend to show that the graft
ing of bones, skin and other tissues
from one animal species to another
cannot be successfully practiced. Be-
tween individuals of the same species,
however, such operations have proved
successful, and particularly in cases
where the transference has been made
between different parts of the same
body. Experiments are still being
made, and interesting discoveries in
this direction are possible.-Youth's

WASHINGTON NOTES.

THE treasury department at WASH
ington was said to he besieged by re-
quests for silver dollars, and it seems
probable that by October the depart
ment will be compelled to decline to
pay out silver dollars, except in ex-
exchange for silver certificates or
treasury notes of 1890. The law re-
quires certain amounts of silver to be
held to cover outstanding silver certifi-
Gates and treasury notes, and when the
minimum is reached silver payments
will be refused even in exchange for
gold or in payment of warrants on the
treasury.
IT is probable that President Cleve-
land of the United States, and Dr. j.
E Uriburn. president of Argentina,
will mediate in the Italo-Brazilian
question growing out of the outrages
committed upon Italian citizens in
Brazil.
SECRETARY OF WAR LAMONT has writ
ten letter to Chairman w. D. Bynum,
of the gold democratic national COM
mittee which concluded as fellows: II
prefer to keep the old faith and remain
a democrat, and shall accordingly cast
NV vote for Palmer and Buckner.
THE September report of the statis-
tician of the department of agriculture
showed decline in the condition of
corn from the August statement of six
points, or from 90 per cent. in August
to 81 per cent in September.
THE cotton report of the department
of agriculture at Washington for Sep
temb showed a decline for the pre-
vious calendar month of 1919 points to
64.o, being the lowest September con-
dition in the last 81 years.

"The only difference between the Eu
ropean and American practice was that

question had been raised requiring such
q decision. The United States govern
ment never ceased to protest with the
utmost energy against the act as pre-
mature and unjust, and this last and
most serious case of interference in
which the United States We're concern

There is a very curious development
to be found upon the hands OF many
people. 1t is upon the mount at the

tremely well have always a bony APP
pearance upon this inside lobe. 1t IS
very pronounced development Of this

notes a tendency to measure all things

out that palm in noble gesture.
As he lowered his hand a sigh Of
relief passed over the house. The audi
