ELECTRIC TREATMENT.
To Be Used Instead of the Knife in tho
Removal of TumOrs.

To Be Used Instead of the Knife in tho
Removal of Tumors.
One of the most common, but most
dreaded surgical operations is that I'M
dertaken for the removal of tumors.
Both the patient and the surgeon like
to avoid the use of the knife, however,
as far as possible, especially when the
unnatural growth is of malignant
character. 1t is interesting, therefore,
to learn that a London surgeon named
Parsons has been experimenting with
electricity to see f IL it can be employed
as a substitute for the blade and for
chemical caustics. It does not appear
that he worked on human subjects, or
even dealt with the actual tumor. But
he seems to have extended our knowl-
edge of the disintegrating effect on an
electric current on animal tissues. The
two platinum terminals of circuit
were inserted into piece Of beef, and
the muscular fiber between them was
broken down by degrees. He used an
interrupted current, and not con-
slant one, and found that a high voltage
was of more Importance than mere
quantity. DIR. Parsons does not fully
explain the nature of the process. 1t
is evidently something like electrolysis,
which is a separation of certain COM
pound substances into their elements.
The latter, however, is a chemical
change, whereas the disintregration Of
fibrous tissues by electricity would
seem to be more of mechanical trans
action. If on further investigation it
is found that tumor can readily be
killed in this manner, it is probable
that the material composing it would
be grada]ly absorbed into the blood,
and finally eliminated from the system,
like other impurities in that fluid, by
natural processes.-N. Y. Tribune.

There are some men whom it is dan

sober fashion. Such man must have
been old Tom Logan, an Oregon lawyer,
and an inveterate wag.
One day Logan was arguing case
before Chief Justice Greene, OF the SUI
preme court, of what was then the
territory of Washington. Opposed to
him. was a backwoods lawyer named
Browne. Logan continually referred
to the counsel on the other side as if his
name were spelled .''Browny," to tho
evident annoyance of that gentleman.
AT last the judge interfered, remark.

Brown, not Browny. Now, my name is

with a merry twinkle in his eye, s'de-

liability shown by "A wonderful speech
at the convention.
| At once it was seen that the combat
was on. From that hour i has ragged
with increasing fervor. Business has
been well-nigh forgotten, except such
as has been necessary for temporary
needs. Few plans for the future have
been made that were not contingent
on the outcome. Tons upon tons OF
/ literature, hundreds upon hundreds OF
orators, and the whole press OF the
land were brought to bear on the pub-
! lie in the effort to win votes. IL was
early recognized that the struggle
would be sectional. The northeastern
states could be depended upon by the
Republicans and the silyer-producing
and most of the southern states by the
Democrats. This left the Pacific coast
and the great group ofcentral states as
the battlefield that was TO decide 1.-THE
combat. Into them both sides have
poured well-nigh all their resources.
Most of the states were naturally Re-
publican, but with the new alignment
and the fusion with Populists by the
Democrats the result was most uncer-
tain.
The anomaly was seen of Il Demo
cratic administration working to COM
pass the defeat OF a Democratic candi-
date. The Democratic sound-money
boilers organized, nominated a ticket
and waged bitter war on their associ-
ates. Hundreds of prominent Demo-
Gratis, especially in the East, came ont
for the Republican ticket In the West,
not few Republicans went over to
the silver Democracy. The Democrat
ic candidate made most wonderful
campaign Of oratory whose effects were
felt even in the East. BY his striking
individuality he won thousands of
votes. not in hearty sympathy with his
principles. The republican candidate
greeted hundreds of thousands at his
home in Canton and eNpounded his
views with effect.

While state expenditures should be-

A Word
About Borax Soap.

Borax costs more than
soap. There is no induce
ment, therefore, for soap
makers to use it for profit.
Borax softens the wash
water, and leaves the hands
soft and smooth.
Consequently it is a good
thing in soap.
The so-called borax soaps
rarely contain borax in sufi-
Gent quantities to be de-
tected or beneficial.

Three Better Than One.


1t has been suggested that one nor
NAL school for this state would be bet
ter than three. The suggestion is not
in itself unreasonable. but it is ques-
tionable if the change would be desira-
BILE at this time. 1t would involve a
large expenditure of money for build
ings and equipments, and this is not
the time to plan for large outlays. As
things are now many of those who
teach would be deprived of normal
school advantages. Increased distance
would be an important item with
many. The expense to the student at
a large school is considerably greater
than AT a smaller one. Opportunities
for self-support would be fewer at one
place than they are now. The diff
Guilty Of securing schools out of term
would be appreciably increased Ii is
