"It is folly when our welfare and
that Of our children Is involved to
argue for q generation and split our

are good, but It would take q century

braced in one platform.
"Our efforts must be directed toward
union. Both State and national plat.
forms must be short and decisive and
yet include the fundamental issues.

The Proposed New York Bridge.

The bridge soon to be constructed
over the Hudson river at New York,
If the plans now under consideration
are adopted and carried out In exc
cution, will be the most expensive, ~
we'll as the most stupendous, engineer
ing enterprise ever undertaken. 1t is
intended to place four tracks on the
lower level and two tracks on the
upper level, 80 that six trains Of cars
may run abreast on the bridge at one
time. The central span is to be S,254
feet long, and more than 100 feet
above the water. The estimated cost
is S25, 100000.
A suggestion has been made to the
company by q laymau, which, as the
average man sees such things, is o
very good one. 1t would save ex-
pense, shorten the time Of ConstEuc-
ton, increase the traffic capacity Of
the bridge, and heighten the artistic
appearance and general beauty Of the
structure.
The suggestion Is to have only two
tracks or four at most, use stationary
engines at the ends Of the bridge, run
no locomotives over it at sll, and have
only two to four cars in train, run.
ming 90 many trains and as often %
required. This would get rid Of the
great weight Of long trains with loaded
cars and locomotives close together,
dimiuishing the strain on the frame

CUTTING THE TCNSILS.
1t Is an Operation Which Is Attended
with Danger.

There seems to be a general impress
sion that there Is little or no danger at
tending the removal Of the tonsils, and
instruments for this purpose are found
IN the possession of every practitioner
in the land. An eminent surgeon de-
clares that removing the tonsils Is an
operation attended with great deal Of
risk. One reason for this seems to be
that in cutting there Is danger of ap-
preaching near the large arteries, or, at
all events, tapping small veins that may
cause alarming hemorrhage.
This physician gives an account Of
the removal of the tonsils from the
throat of a boy, when he was obliged to
hold the parts with his fingers for sew
eral hours, to arrest the hemorrhage
that threatened the youths life as he
had no appliances at hand for checking
the hemorrhage, which was entirely un-
looked-for. He says 1t Is as well to be
very wary in cutting the tonsils at all,
and not to operate upon them unless It
is absolutely necessary, and then only
remove sufficient surface to relieve
the mechanical obstruction caused by
their Observation-Disclosures Science
