 New York Special Chicago Tribune: Medical science has discovered that the hens egg provides an adnrs rsrahla SuOstitute fsr human flesh to graft on human open wounds.

While Garbut rallied, the sur geons soon saw that the wounds left by the operations would not heal on the surface. Garbut's wife, his nephew and young man in his employ of- fered of their euticle to graft on Gar butts wounds. But on December 10 ths last one of the surgeons in the Seney Hospital remembered that the German surgeons say that she hens egg pro- vides substitute for human cuticie in such cases. So the seney Hospital surgeons procured some fresh eggs and from them took the membrane that lines the shells, and pieces of mem brane were planted on Garbut's wounds. Soon new skin vas formed.

France Has 8 Substitute for the British
 Cat O, Nine TaIls

Cat O Nine Tails
 Some of the French newspapers have been telling about the new method of whipping men which had just been introduced experimentally into some of the penitentiaries and colonies of France. The instrument bears the pleasing name of "the electric cat" and FEleetrieian expresses the scientific opinion that it is great improvement 9pon the Russian knout and the cat O nine tails, which, it says, still unfor. tunately figures in many penal colo nies and in the penitentiaries of so- called eiVilize& states. The method Of this new whipping machine is very simple and business-like The culprit who has been sentenced to undergo the lash is tied to post in the usual man. her. Behin1 him is a wheel driven by an electric motor, which goes round with velocity that is unpleasant for the victim. The velocity may be regu- lated however, according to the sever- ity of the trouncing to be admins tered. Attached to one of the spokes
  is whip which swings around the circle and the eulprit is placed at such an angle with reference to the instru- ment Of f1agellation that every time it comes around it hips him squarely on the back It is claimed for the new invention that it dispenses justice inns partially and equally. It has no ani- mus against the prisoner, it's blows arc given with equal intensity and it bet ter fulfi1ls the idea Of even-handed justice than manual fogging, which is likely to distribute penalties very un- evenly Philadelphia Times.

weeks. While the national commit
tee Of each party thus will have $500
speakers out, the various sti.@e COM
mittees will have 10 times as many
more on the stump. The salaries of
speakers engaged by the state COM
mitteeS may be less than those paid
by the national managers, but the
state committees have to pay the
rental of all the buildings in which
campaign meetings are held. This
item adds tremendously TO the total.
One of the most expensive items in
the campaign next to the speakers is
that of printing and stationery For
this each national committee spends
at least 5000. 900 The number and
size Of documents sent out have in
creased with each campaign, until this
year it IS expected that the Mckinley
and the Bryan managers each will
send out no less than 100, 600. 900 docu-
ments. Before the Garfeld-Hancock
campaign was half over the Republic
ans and Democrats had sent out more
than 10000, 600 documents, and this
style of campaigning has become more
popular with each presidential con-
test. The bulk of this matter is sent
by express to the chairmen Of the
various state committees for distribu-
ton. \ great deal of it goes free, be-
ing franked from Washington. Speech

are never heard without a vowel be-

In Chicago are pretty busy places these
days. Both were opened on Aug. l,
which is a month earlier than usual in
presidential campaigns. 1t is said
that much more money Will be spent
than in 1896. This is especially rue
of the Democrats. Their treasury is

each succeeding election it has be-

there is to be a wholesale debauchery
of voters. All kinds of politicians
agree that the two national commit
tees had at least 100000 to spend
in the fight four years ago, and the
same authorities are unanimous in de-
claring At the two committees will
have fully as much this year. For
every dollar that the national COM
mittees spend it is conservative es-
innate that the state committees of
the two parties will spend four, and
this will make up the total of So, O00,-
600 that the election will cost.
To show where so much money
goes, a study of the cost of campaign
speeches alone is very instructive.

least 100000 for speeches, and the

inhaled when he sits is 11S. when he

when he runs miles an hour. it is z.
In other words, if man at rest inhales

loathsome TO him now. He began to
long, with a longing that had been
stifled during his brief married life by
the drawing out of other parts of his
nature, for England and things Eng
HSh. The white. clear moonlight, the
scent of the tropical flowers, the soft,
dark eyes and liquid accents of the
Spanish women, the songs they sang,
the very guitars they played, remind
ed him of his poor Veronica, now ly-
ing fathOms deep under the restless
sea.
But as she had never stirred the
passionate depth of his nature, so her
death never drew out passionate grief.
He felt lonely, that was all; and the
glowing land. where everything was so
beautiful and yet seemed so ephem-
eral, became distasteful to him, so he
gladly accepted Richard Dempster's
offer to manage the export part of his
business in London, and to return to
English shores.
In a short time his South American
experiences almost faded out of his
mind. Veronica became a swees mem
DRY to him, which moonlight nights
freshened. He was very successful in
his work, and in four years tire had
gained a good position for himself. He
was ambitious, too and began reading
for the bar, which he found he could
do together with his work for the firm.
And four years after he left South
America saw him respected and much
made of as any young man of twenty
six might be who is beginning to be
known as a man who may become i'm
portant.
