A NEW ANESTHE'HIC.
Successfully Used in Severe Sur
gical Case at New York.
Is similar I'm Its Effects 10 Cocaine,
hut IL Free from the Dangers At
tending the Use of the
Latter Drug.

Physicians are manifesting great in
terest in the successful use OF eucaine,
a new anaesthetic, in an operation per-
formed in Bellevue hospital, New York
city. Not only was the new drug used
with entire satisfaction in serious OPP
Grafton, but the success of the expert
ment is full of promise for future use
fulness of the new drug.
1t was major operation for hernia
and was the first use of eucaine in so
serious a case. The patient was Owen
MCGOWAN, 6s years old. His heart ac-
ton was weak so it was perilous to use
ether or chloroform. The use of CO.
caine was deemed unwse. In the last
few months eucaine has been used by
DIR. Bangs in minor operations. The re-
suits have been satisfactory
The eucaine was administered hypo-
dermically The first incision in the
conventional Bassini operation laid
bare the tissues. MCGOWAN felt no dis
comfort nor sensation, and was able to
converse.
The second injection was in the It's
sues. Its effect was rapid, and, while
somewhat confined, was complete. The
operation then continued. Not more
than an hour was required to complete
the operation. After the first few in
cisions the surgeons inquired how he
felt.
81 feel fine" MCGOWAN answered. ut
doesn't hurt bit"
The patient was carefully watched
for indications of shock and reactive
effects from the eucaine. None was Wis
ible.
In the use of chloroform and ether
the patient is not allowed to eat solid
food for "a hours before the operations.
For "a hours after the operation the pa
tient is usually too sick to desire food.
In the case of MCGOWAN the use of
eucaine obviated all this precaution and
subsequent effect.
Eucaine is a byproduct of coal tar.
1t was discovered about four years ago
in Germany, but has not come into gen
eral use.

good, and above all - so was his
digestion.
No man should be old before his time
because of a weak stomach, sluggish
liver, shaky nerves and flabby muscles.
There is no need of it. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures these
things. 1t brings back youth to the
feeble because it brings back keen appe-
tite and good digestion. 1t tones up the
liver, puts oxygen and life into the
blood, and solid strength into the flesh
and muscles. 1t contains no alcohol to
inebriate or create a. morbid appetite or
craving for stimulants.
81 have never felt better in my life than do
now" says Charles Hunwick, of Lenox, Macomb
Co, Mich, in a remarkable letter TO DIR. r. ".
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. II have taken DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery right along

There is nothing in the world for
constipation like DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. They should be taken in con-
junction with the Discovery" when-
ever any disease is complicated with that

On both sides of the Atlantic investi-

made for some time, quietly but unre-
mittingly, with the purpose of deter
mining the value of alcoholics practical
lighting and heating agent. Results
of a character so remarkable have been
reported from Europe that in this coun-
try the Standard Oil company has had
its experts for some time closely watch
ing these developments, which, if sue
cessful in their operation, will revolu-
tionize the present system of illumina-
ton, and may drive petroleum and coal
out of the market. The Standard Oil
people assert that developments SO far
do not warrant the acceptance of alco-
hol as a competitor of oil in the field of
illumination.
From Paris, however, comes this
statement:
"Alcohol is about to supersede pc
troleum, not only in France, but all Eu-
rope. 1t is not only to supersede pc
troleum, but ii promises to take the
place of coal itself.

peror of Germany has had the palace at
Potsdam and the Thiergarten at Berlin

lamps, while the new French president,
Loubet, is lighting up the courtyard of
the Elysee with these same eXtraordi-

CHIMES RUN BY AIR POWER.

Work under the contract made nearly
two years ago by the trustees of St. Pat
rick's Cathedral New York City, with
Hartford c. Champ for the installation of
compressed air apparatus for operating
the big Cathedral chimes has progressed
so far that several private tests OF the APP
paratus now in place have been made.
The plant is not yet completed, and
will not be for some time, but the de-
signer is confident of his ultimate success
along the lines upon which he is now
working. His devices are entirely origi-
nal, and it is understood that no other
chime-ringing apparatus operated by COM
pressed air has ever been used success
fully.
The air power is applied at the striker
from a reservoir in which it is stored at
eighty pounds pressure. The system is
operated by electrical connections from
keyboard, which will not have to be To-
Gated near the bells themselves.

FINE IRISH PRIEST.
realized

The late Canon Graham. of Hammer
smith College, was one of the finest speci-
mems of an Irish priest to be found in
Great Britain, and his work in the cause
of Catholic education has had, and will
have, great and permanent influence.
1t is significant of the happier and more
conciliatory tone of politics to find in the
official report of the London School Board
meeting the following tribute by Lord
Reay, the Chairman, to the memory Of
Canon Graham. Lord Reay was referring
to the voluntary schools, and he went on
to say: voluntary schools can not disso-
ciate themselves from the progress in
education which the country is sure to
demand They have lately sustained a
severe loss in the person of the late Canon
Graham, who was an expert in educa-
tional matters, and whose modesty was
only equaIed by his extreme devotion to
arduous duties" The same was true of
the Canon in regard to everything ap-
pertaining to Ireland, her cause and her
people.

DUTCH IN CAPE COLONY.

The latest figures give Cape Colony a
total population of 1,527, 224. OF that
aggregate 1850, 237 are blacks-Kafirs,
Bechuanas, Basutos, Fingoes, Hottentots
and Malays-while 376,9S7 are so-called
European, or whites.
The white population is divided into
26, 667 born in England, 6,646 in Scot
land and 4,1S4 in Ireland, while 6,540 are
set down as Germans, the remaining
3S2, $50 being Afrikenders, or people of
Dutch descent.
But perhaps the fairest test of the SYM
pathy with the Beers in Cape Colony is
the complexion of the Cape Parliament.
The body, chosen after the Jameson ~
when Cecil Rhodes was the chief issue,
has now a nearly three-quarters Afri-
kander majority, and those Afrikander
members lately joined in plea cabled to
Queen Victoria to exert her utmost in
fluence to prevent war. The Prime Min
lister of the colony, Mr.. Schreiner, is we'll
known to be leader among the Cape
Dutch, and he already has essayed to
declare the colony neutral" in this war,
meaning that Great Britain must not ex-
pect any active aid from it.
