Civil service was approved and its

to extend civil service and everything

But Congress has broken the record
of extravaganza. 1t has passed a bad
army bill, it has made the census bu-

of Democratic discussion.
But to stand still and to rest in sim
pie opposition is not the way for the
Democratic party to win success. If
the Republicans happen to advocate
measure that is good this should not be
the signal for Democratic opposition
First of all, Democrats should inquire.
''Is this measure good for the people?'
If it is found to be good. then it should
be supported, even though it may have
the approval of the Republicans.
What the Democrats need is a posi-
tive policy. They must do good things
and not be satisfied with an endeavor
to prevent the Republicans from doing
bad things. Courage and activity are
needed and policy of leadership
should be adopted. Thus and thus
alone can success be won by the Demo
cratic party.-Chicago Democrat.

portant Discovery In Mechaui

A"poTtdut DhoCOSeTy IN NcChAuiSbs
A young Norwegian working in ST
Louis machine shop claims to have dis
covered one of the lost arts-that of weld
ing copper. A specimen piece Of welding
was exhibited by c. W. Marshall,
friend Of the young mechanic, who for
the present withholds his name and the
secret Of his process. He has been expert
menting for five years, and after almost
giving up hit upon the idea accidentally.
He was experimenting to temper copper.
and in disgust threw piece of the warm
metal on the floor. When he picked it up
1t was perfectly welded to a small piece of
steel. The copper had been treated by
liquid not intended for the purpose, but
which proved the material to render it
possible to be welded. He repeated the
experiment several times, each time en-
ploying larger piece of metal and meet
ing with the same success. He shows how
the welding is accomplished in his little
machine shop, but will not disclose the ma
ture Of the materials used until he has
secured q patent ON his secret. The speci-
men shown was perfect, the two metals
apparently being drawn together with the
solidity of one substance.

Insanity is now recognized as a dis
ease which is the result Of some func-
tional OF organic disturbance of the
brain or of some injury OF malformation
Of that organ. Be it said to the ever
lasting credit of medical science that it
has rescued the whole subject of the dis
eases Of the brain and nervous system
from the region of myth and superstition
and placed it on a scientific plane along
with the other diseases and injuries to
which human flesh is heir.
The old lunatic asylums and the filthy
cells of the county jails with all their
horrors where the victims of dethroned
eason used to be confined and tortured
have been abolished and in their place
we now have the modern hospital for
the insane. and 1t stands on the same
footing in every respect as a hospital
for diseases Of the eye and ear or any
other medical speciality. It was not the
churches, but medical science. inspired
by a desire to benefit mankind, which
taught the world that the insane are
our brothers still and that to them is
due the same Christian charity and ARE
as to any others in distress.-Dr. John

lounge along the walls puff everlasting

weaving and swaying in the sinuous
undulations Of the dance to the time Of
