M'kINLEYS CABINET
ALL PRESENT MEMBERS LIKELY
TO REMAIN.
EXCEPT ATTORNEY GENERAL
President Expresses Appreciation Of
Support Given Him by Heads Of De-
partments and Urges Their Contin-
uance in otfice-Secretary Root the
Only Member Absent.

Washington, Nov. l4-President Nc.
KinlCy yesterday announced clearly
and forCefully to the members of his
cabinet a desire that they should all
remain with him during the four years
of his coming administration. His
wishes were made Known in n speech
at a cabinet meeting in the white
house. Responses were made by all
members that they would accept the
portfolios thus rendered afresh. and
there was on the other hand no definite
declination.
Yesterdays proceedings set forth
the wishes of the president in the mat
ter and relieved the members of the
cabinet of the customary obligation of
rendering their designations at the end
of the term. 1t also sets Mt rest all
speculation as to slate making of the
country's present prophets, for 1t is
understood generally that there is but
one doubtful factor in the homogeneity
of the present cabinet That factor is
Attorney General Griggs, as he holds
Cial sacrifice. Still, Griggs replied in
terms of warm appreciation to the com.
plimontary remarks of the president
and voiced no intention of retiring
from his present position,
The president reviewed the work of
the administration in the past four eX.
citing years. Ii was a surprise to note
how accurately the president had fixed
in his memory the sequence of events,
how calmly he relinquished personal
credit for the successful strokes of
party policy or prudence attributed to
members of his official family.
He said if the result of the recent
election was an endorsement of his
administration, it was no less an en-.
dOrsement of the men who stood by
him in time of adversely Credit for
success he said, lay with the heads of
ms various departments, and he would
shrink from entering upon another
four years of Office unless he could be
assured he would have with him ma.
jority of them. He said he knew that

there was scarcely any one who could
do so without some sacrifice At the
same time he said he should feel hap
pier if all of them could crafty his
wishes.

the most urgent reasons for retire
ment. Secretaries Gage, Long, Hitcn-
cock, Wilson, Attorney General Griggs
and Postmaster General Smith eat \

Secretary Root was the only abse 1t
member from the meeting. having left
for Cuba to look over the military af,
fairs there, and at the same time, try
to recuperate from long and serious
Illness.
The meeting, which had developed
into a real love feast. then returned TO
routine business and the coming mes
sage to congress. The meeting stands
as one of the most remarkable cabinet
sessions on record.

GOOD QUEEN VIC.
Will Allow No More Docking of
Horses.

London, Nov. 14,-Those who have
long agitated against the docking of
horses tails have won a great vic
tory The queen, in sending out an
order that none of her horses should
be treated in that way, also announced
that she persuaded the prince of
Wales to follow her example. With
royalty taking up such a vigorous
stand, it is likely that the locked
horse will soon be as rare in London
as full-tailed horses are at present.

Now wav 70 St, r,,,ze Mill.

A certain degree of heat kills the
bacteria that promote tho souring of
milk; hence by raising the tempera.
ture of that fluid nearly to the boiling
point it is effectually sterilized. Such
treatment, however, robs milk of its
characteristic flavor, imparts a new
taste to it, robs it of it's ability to
yield cream, and otherwise affects it
in an undesirable way But q method
of conducting the operation has been
found which is said to be free from
these objections, while retaining the
advantages of sterilizing. Niels Ben
dixen O.. Copenhagen has just pub
lished paper in which he describes
the process. He saturates the milk
with carbonic acid before applying
heat, raises the temperature to 100
degrees, and finally removes the car
bonic acid by exposing the milk to
sterilized air. He alleges that milk 80
treated forms no skin, does not change
color, and retains the cream yielding
power. Just how the carbonic acid
accomplishes this result is not clear,
but its share in the work is affirmed
positively,

Ants Useful In Surgery.

Many useful discoveries have been
made by savage people and utilized by
civilized men for the amelioration of
human suffering The native Brazil
ian, far removed, rs he usually is,
from doctors and surgeons, depends
upon little ant to sew up his wounds
when he is slnshed or scratched. This
odd creature is called the surgical ant,
from the use to which it is put.
The ant has two strong nippers on
his head. They are his weapons for
battle or forage. When a Brazilian
has cut himself, for example, he picks
up an ant, presses the nippers against
The wound, one Oh each side, and then
gives the bug squeeze. The indig-
nant insect snaps his nippers to-
gether, piercing the flesh and bringing
the lacerated parts close together. The
Brazilian at that moment gives the
ants body jerk and away it flies,
leaving the nippers embedded in the
flesh. To be sure that kills the ant,
but he has served his most useful pur-
pose in life. The operation is re-
peated until the wound is sewed up
neatly and thoroughly.-Chicago
Chronicle.

His Los, Brothers Voice ID Photograph.

On the 14th Of May, 1881, George
Remington, brother Of Peter Hem
ington of Galesburg, Mich, enlisted in
the regular army and disappeared. Per-
sistent inquiry failed to discover his
whereabouts, the only fact to be asceF-
tained being that Of his discharge for
disability soon after his enlistment.

Attached 10 the Bakery.

A plausible tale of a man who
bought loaf Of bread and took away
more property than he paid for, is told
by the Pawtucket correspondent of the
Providence Telegram. The man was
In hurry to catch a car.
His impatience made the clerk ner-
vous. She forgot to snap the string
which bound the paper about the loaf,
and away sped the man with the loaf,
while the string reeled off behind him.
He caught the car all right, and al
though the conductor and some Of the
passengers noticed, as he sat down
close to the door, that the twine paid
itself out as the car rolled along, the
man did not discover the tangle until
he allghted. In the meantime the con-
ductor was having a good time; as
passengers stepped on the platform he
cautioned them not to walk on that
string, and they did not.
IT. might have looked mysterious to
the people who saw the string moving
along the street, for the unrayeling
continued until the bakery twinc bob
bin had been nearly emptied by the
connected loaf q mile away. The man
with the bread felt q tug at his loaf as
he stepped down from the car. Then
he followed up the cord, winding as
he went.
He was one Of those strictly honest
men who want nothing that does not
belong to them; and the best part of
the story is that he followed the string
back, winding rs he walked, and IN
due time entered the bakery and re-
stored the ball of twine.

Cultivate n Sweet Voice.

Kind hearts are more plentiful than
persistently kind and gentle voices,
and yet love loses much of its power
when the voico is hard and sharp.
TRY, therefore. most earnestly. to
ACQUIRE the right tone in speaking,
and guard yourself carefully FROM
falling into careless and bad habits of
voice.
Often sharp voice shows more ILL.,
will than the heart feels, but people,
do not know that her .''bark is worse
than her bite," aud they believe her
to be ill-tempered and disagroeable.
It is 30 easy to pick up sharp and
snappish manner of speaking. Very
often it is. acquired in mitth. and in
the give and take battles of words in
which boys and girls delight. There
is no malice in their sallies and it is o
great deal OF fun, but, meanwhile, the
voice is often acquiring sharp and
shrewish tone which sticks through
life. making it stir up strife and i'll
will among its listeners.
So watch the tone in which you
speak, and take care that it is gentle
and sweet. A kind voice is like music
in the home, and is to the heart what
light and beauty a.e to the eye.

Madam and the Little Jouberts.

To the mere non-military woman
the most interesting parts of the Jou-
bert obituaries and eulogies that filled
the foreign papers after the Boer COM
mander's death were the accounts of
Nine. Joubert. This soldiers wife
was wonderful woman. She not
only went to war with her husband,
but she found time to educate her
children in music, French and Eng
lish. They are as pretty and we'll be-
haved rs they ale clever, and when
staying at Cape Town hotel with
their father and mother few months
ago were ihe pets of all the English
guests In the house. The widow of
the Boer general is soldiers daugh-
ter, and has known much of wars
alarms since her earliest childhood.
She knows all about firearms, has an
extensive knowledge of Kaffir warfare.
and her advice has often been acted
upon by her husband, plans of cam
paign being freely discussed over her
dinner table. During the Magato-
land campaign she, Notwithstanding
the heat-over 100 degrees in the
shade-and the fever, joined the gen.
eral week or two utter his arrival, OF
tended only by two or three little
Kaffir maids. Finding General Jou-
bert in anything but q comfortable
tent, she took it down, erected tont
of her own and installed him amid all
The comforts of home. What was
more, she constructed the generals
mess arrangements and cooked his
meals with her own hands.
