The fierce attack recently made by

The Care OF silver

Silverware should not be allowed to
drain, but should be washed in hot

The best "dishcloth" for silver and
plated ware is a sponge. Canton fan
mel cloths should be used for drying.
A good receipt for silver polish is
n quart of rainwater, two ounces am

cleaning raised designs use a small

and DR.. Mutt, in the presence of the
number of students.
After the child wa etherized an in
cision was made from the base of the
skun over the head to the frontal bone.
The scalp was then drawn down on
both sides and a triangular incision
three inches wide and two inches deep
was made into the right side Of the
skull.
1t was found that there was a guam
tlty of soft matter pressing against the
brain cells, and this was removed. A
similar operation was performed on
the left side.
Ihen came the novel part of the OPP
eratlon. Instead of the portion of the
skull which had been removed being
replaced by gold leaf, small strips of
prepared celluloid were interlaced and
fitted to the skull.
Prof. Woolsey asserts that this meth
cd will do away with all the danger of
epilepsy, which so often follows tre-
panning in after years, and which is
caused by the pressure of the brain
against the unyielding artificial sur
face.
The celluloid will expand with the
brain.
The child stood the operation re-
markedly well, and within five hours
after it was taken from the operating
room showed marked signs of improve
ment.
Prof. Woolsey says the child will
grow up to be normal and healthy,
both in mind and body.

have found a means of utilizing this.
All boats which sail on the lake
when possible are during the dry sea-

are enabled to continue their travels,

The speed attained by these odd
crafts is very considerable, though, of
course, not so great as attained by the
ice boats SO popular in cold climates.

The hero has earned the right to see

Forgotten Long Ago Doubtless.

This is an interesting clause in the
constitution of Vermont of 1893, to
limit professional officeholders: CAS-
every freeman, to preserve his indie
pendence, if without a sufficient estate,
ought to have some profession. call
ing, trade or farm, whereby he may
honestly subsist, there can be no ne
cessity for nor use in establishing Of
fees of profit, the usual effects of which
are dependence and servility unbecom-
lrg freemen, in the possessors or ex-
pectants, and faction, contention and
discord among the people. But if any
mar is called into public service to the
prejudice of his private affairs he has
a right to a reasonable compensation;
and whenever an office, through in
crease OF fees or otherwise, becomes
so profitable as 10 occasion many to
apply for it, the profits ought to be
lessened by the legislature"

THE GUILE oF MAINE.
A Great Place for the Breeding of
Terrific Storms.

AACO " bAO LIGOu1HS OF
Terrific Storms.
The Gulf of Maine is a geographical
division not marked on average maps,
for it is chiefly referred to in scientific
treatises on the general subject of the
tides, says Golfers Weekly. 1t is
formed by the great curve of the Amer
lean coas from Cape Race, the eastern
extremity of Newfoundland, westward
Inc southwark to Cape Cod and Nan
tucket. Into this curve during normal
conditions of sea and air a current sets
perpetually from the far north, known
as the Labrador current. 1t makes it's
way southwark inside the gulf stream
n cools the water, even in summer,
as far as Nantucket sound. In the
winter months, when northerly winds
prevail, a terrific sea is hurled against
those %rockbound shores, and when
rocks are wanting the sands are torn
up and shifted, forming islands and
new bars here and there, involving the
shifting of myriads of tons in a single
day, that may mean destruction to the
unwary or even to the most wary of
navigators. Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia reach we'll out into the track of
these gales, and theoretically it would
form something of a lee along the
shores of Maine, and down perhaps al
most as far as Nahant. But in point
OF fact they seem to have very little
effect. Possibly the wind is drawn out
OF Its general direction somewhat by
the conformation of the shores. but
at any rate when a northeaster is blow
ing there is very little shelter to be
found, except in the landlocked har-
bors or behind the islands that are
fortunately Of frequent occurrence in
the exposed region. The government
observers of ocean phenomena in their
forecasts of North Atlantic weather
for the winter months habitually pre-
dict gales of greater or less severity at
intervals of about seven or eight days
covering all this zone and extending
southwark as far as the HatteraS, or
perhaps even till they melt away into
the gentle trade winds of the tropics.
But not even the photographic office
ventures as yet to predict very far
ahead the approach of phenomenal
storms such as visited this coast at
the end of November. 1t could and
did give warning several hours before
the storm began to make itself felt at
the Virginia capes and along up the
Jersey snore. Hurricane signals were
promptly set at every station away up
the coast as far as the jurisdiction of
the United States extended, and if the
coastwise authorities of the British
possessions J | only been willing TO
accept the warning of American
weather prophets, they, too, might
I've shown danger signals for .-le
benefit of their seafaring population.

h Is Kept Busy Because of a Curious
Fancy.

Mrs. Lloyd Lowndes, wife of the gov

cough at Annapolis, says the Baltimore
Sun. 1t would be better, perhaps. TO
state that Mrs. Lowndes is kept busy
responding to the appeals of a curious
folklore fancy of southern MARYLAND.
In the household philosophy of that
section it is gravely stated that if the
mother of twin children will butter a
piece of bread for a patient suffering
with w%hooping cough the little one
will be speedily relieved upon eating
it. Two of Mrs. Lowndes' sons are
twins. Whooping cough is now prev
alent at Annapolis. These two state
ments give an index to her present
troubles. Anxious mothers of late
have been appealing to the lady of the
executive mansion in season and out
of season. No social function is too
important to be interrupted by them.

ing in Macedonian cries for pieces Of
