There Is more than usual Interest
attaching to the action of the Penn
sylvania Democrats IN adopting
vigorous resolutions against the
seating of Senator Quay, recently
appointed United States Senator to
succeed himself after Legislature
overwhelmingly Republican had re-
fused to elect him. 1t IS recognized
IN Washington that Quay IN person
ally very popular, and that he may
Obtain some Democratic votes should
an attempt be made, a. now seems
highly probable, to deprive him Of
the seat which he has held so many
years. But the party interests re
quire that a firm stand be taken
against Mr.. Quay ard the precedent
that his seating would establish.

there are some things about the process
which | do not quite grasp. According

q lymphatic fluid is / do not know, but l
have very clear IDEAS about kids.
The discovery, accounts of which have
kept me setting up late of nights, is due
to the researches % Professors Joseph r.
Hawley and Alex. c. Wiener, Of the
Chicago Clinical School. While their
scheme doesn't seem TO be working very
smoothly just yet, it appears that they
have most successfully rejuyenated a SUI

sy old brute was watched for two months,
and. by that time, he showed decided
symptoms of becoming puppy. In fact,
the unfortunate quadruped, at last ac-
counts, was going backward so fast that
| guess by now he's preparing to be born
again. He'll soon be the most regene-
rate dog that ever came down the pike
The general theory Of the discovery Is
that if the mineral deposits which accu-
mulate in the bones in the process OF lie
can be replaced with the life cells' con-
tanned in the Emphatic glands of goats,
deterioration Of the bones will be prevent

The apostles of the discovery do not
claim that this extract of goat can i'm
mortalize a man-that is, give him per-
petual lease on llfe-but they do claim
that It can greatly prolong his years. For

But there are some points about this

than a type-setting machine can express.
Supuose for instance when the process
is perfected, a man should take too great
