THREAD USED IN SURGERY.
That Made from KangarOOs' TendOns
IL the Most Highly Es-
teemed.

The modern surgeon employs in
his work dozens of different kinds of
thread for sewing up cuts and
wounds. Among them are kangaroo
tendons, horsehair, silk and very fine
silver wire. Many of these threads
are intended to hold for a certain
number of days and then naturally
break away. The short, tough ten
Ions taken from the kangaroo,
which are used for sewing severe
wounds, will hold for about four
weeks before they break away. Silk
thread will remain much longer,
sometimes six months, while the fine
silver wire is practically indestructi-
BILE
With the entire outfit a surgeon
is able to select a thread that will
last as long as the wound takes to
heal and will then disappear COM
pletely. To accommodate this as
sortment of threads special varieties
of needles are required. Besides the
needle craned in different segments
of a circle, surgeons use needles
shaped like spears, javelins and bayo-
net points. Some are as long as bod
kins, in a point like a miniature
knife blade. Others have the sharp
ened end triangular.

MAY BE DISAPPOINTED.

The two ambitious young Democratic
politicians who are now waging such hot
fight for the nomination of their party for
Governor of Virginia seem to lose sight of
the fact that nomination is not equivalent
an election. Mr.. Swanson, who is the
candidate of the machine, does not doubt
that the machine can effect its wishes at
the polls, as heretofore in the State, even
if the people are getting tired of machine
methods and tamperiDg with ballot boxes
MIR. Montague is assailing the machine,
though he owes bis elevation to bis present
position, that of Attorney General, to the
power of the machine in controlling cleo
tions in Virginia.
If Mr.. Swanson is nominated by the
machine how can anti-machine Democrats
swallow him ? And without their united
and cordial support how can Swanson
win ? II Montague defeats the machine
and secures the nomination, how can be
expect the support of the machine ? With
out It's assistance he will be shOrn Of the
greatest strength that the Democracy has
possessed in Virginia for the last twenty
years.
With square and fair election this
State is Republican. There can be no
doubt of the fact. 1t was the recognition
Of that fact which prompted the constitu-
tional convention and the clamor for a
new constitution which, by restricting suf-

All doctors have tried to cure CATARRH

and drugs in paste form. Their powders
dry up the mucous membranes causing

while pastes and Ointments can not reach
the disease. An old and experienced

"A close study and specially of the treat

Treatment which when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but permanently

M'kINLsy AND PROTECTION.
A False Inference That the President
Was Ready TO Desert that Policy.
Washington Star,

Washington Star.
AS usual, the English newspapers wholly
misconceive the American situation. What
did the President say at New Orleans that
was in the nature of surprise What
new position did he take What word
did he speak there, or has he spoken any
where since he left this town, out of plumb
with his weIlknown views on the subject
of Americas duty toward Americas trade?
What comfort is there in his utterances
for the Golden Club in England, or for its
annex in the United States ?
The President is still proteetionst,
and there is certainly every reason why he
should be. This is the time of all times
when the protectionist, whether in the
Republican or the Democratic party, may
with every reason feel good and
rejoice in his convictions. The policy of
protection has justified itself in every way.
The proposition at the outset was to make
this great manufacturing nation, and the
question then arose as to tie best means
to that end. "Protect home industries, "
said the men of the American school,
land they will grow to meet every Ameri-
can demand" That was done, and the
result is before us To paraphrase a great
line, the hour has struck and the industries
are here.
As for the foreign markets, we are en-
tering them purely Oh business principles.
Our surplus products have grown out Of
our home policy, and we are offering them
solely on the strength of their price and
superiority. 1t would be folly for us to
offer them on any other score. Business
is not conducted on lines of socability and
philanthropy. We well understand that
in China, in South America, in Egypt,
where you will, we must meet the price
lists and the tests of the goods of our com
petitors for trade. Most countries which
produce little but consume much want the
best they can get at the lowest price, and
If we are to supply them we must mee
that requirement. There is nothing else
so far as we are concerned to the question
of foreign markets, and, as may be seen
there is nothing in the least disquieting ii
it to any champion of the policy of protec
ton.
The President is on no new track. MOI
is he finding it at all difficult to "obtsr
acceptance for the principles" he is advo
eating. They have already been accepted
and were reaccepted last year by the larg
est vote ever thrown for Presidential
candidate representing their aggressive
application.

frage, would insure new lease Of power to
the Virginia Democracy.
The fight between the machine and anti
machine Democrats may result in giving
us reasonably fair election next Fall.
There is no doubt but that there is great
revolt among honest Democrats against
dishonest elections. Since the constitu'
tionAl convention was urged by leading
Democratic journals in the State as
means for getting rid of corrupt politics
and frauds upon the ballot box, a great
many Democrats, who had before disbe-
lieved the assertions of Republicans, are
now convinced that fraud has been wide
spread in our elections. With the know
ledge and conviction of many honest DEM
ocrats on these lines, we may confidently
look for important changes IN conditions.
So, with these conditions operating and
existing, either Swanson or Montague may
get the nomination and be badly beaten
by the people. With the Hon. Jacob
Yost as their candidate the Republicans
would be certain to win, if the election be
a fair one.

EnIarging Trade by Reciprocity.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
President Mckinley through all bis Adj
ministration has shown a determination
to carry the country as whole with him
IN each great step forward which he has
taken in national policy.
In his first year his public speeches were
devoted to bringing the American public
up to the level of the position taken on
the tariff There has probably never been
protective tariff az generally supported
as is the Dingley tariff today, North and
South. In 1898 his trip East and West
brought the country up to the adoption
and SUI port of the acquisition of territory
under the treaty Of Paris. His Boston
speech the following year prepared the
country for the doctrine that newly ac-
quired territory does not pass under the
limitation of the Constitution. The coun-
try is with the President in this doctrine.
Repeated utterances show what is the
chief central purpose of the speeches he is
now making. 1t is expressed in this sig
nlficant extract -
1T is your business as we'll as mine to
see to it that an industrial policy shall be
pursued in the United States that shall
open up the widest markets in every part
of the world for the products of American
soil and American manufacture. Eve can
now supply our own markets. We have
reached that point in our industrial devel-
opment, and in order to secure sale for
our surplus products we must open up new
avenues for our surplus"
Reciprocity is the great method and
means by which this can be secured. The
Senate can not long continue to block the
policy when it becomes clear that it is not
only the policy of the President but of the
people.

Why Should It Not 2
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Democratic organs-heaven save
that Democratic mark PERSIST in saying
that the Mckinley Administration regards
itself with satisfaction.
Well, suppose it does Il? Hasn't it got
several reasons why it should?
The country is more prosperous than it
ever was. The soup-house as a national
issue is onl y memory. The strikes that
are on or that are threatened are for in.
crease of wages, not because of reductions.
The very war that is ending was not Of the
Presidents seeking. 1t was declared
against his known wish. Why shouldn't
the administration be satisfied with itself
1t has the confidence of the business
men of both parties, irrespective of what
the politicians say. No scandal attaches
to its name. Abroad it is respected, and
at home beloved. We ask again, why
should 1t not regard itself with satisfac-
ton
Any Democratic administration, under
the same circumstances assuredly would.

Wheat I'm China.

The greater part of the wheat
grown in China is winter wheat,
planted in the fall. 1t is not sown
in large tracts, as in the United
States, but planted in small lots of
a fraction of an acre. 1t is in many
cases planted by dropping about
three grains in a hole and putting
a few ashes in each hill. 1t is hoed
and weeds are pulled out by hand.
When ripe it is cut close to the ground
Or pulled out by the roots. The
threshing is done by fails on the
ground. The grain is gathered up,
with a large percentage of dirt, and
sold without being cleaned. Another
method of threshing is to whip the
grain over row of sticks placed on
a box. The wheat is not cleaned be-
fore it reaches the mill, and when
ground in the native mills much of
the dirt is ground into the -four, so
that it is gritty.

qualification to him, for the prosperity
which will greet him everywhere is the
direct result of the adoption, or the re-

with which he has been identified through
out his entire political career, and the res
toration of which was bis first thought
after his Inauguration as President in 1897.
