EBERT HALsTEAD contributes

EBERT HALSTEAD contributes 1A( to the Independent an interest I2\ ing article, entitled "The Pres 0S ident at Work" which gives good insight into Mir. McKinley's business habits Mir. Halstead says;
 "The President Is methodlcal, com pleting each days task as 1t comes to him. He does not postpone business from day to day until with dash of determi- nation and despair, he rushes through It hastily and carelessly. He has the lm- portant executive faculty of making oth- CTS work for him. He knows how to di- rect to place responsibility on other shoulders not that he avoids it. but that while making decisions and outlining poll icIes himself he leaves the drudgery to others This relieves him of much rou- tine that would weary and prevent him from paying the faithful attention to af- fairs which a successful administration requires
 "Presldent Mckinley Is not naturally cumulative. He prefers to employ peace full rather than aggressive methods in the aceomulishment of an object. He never fights unless circumstances force it; yet, he dominates always, and when a policy is determined upon 1t is carried out He has often been pictured as yielding, but that Is unjust. When he has a purpose in view 1t matters not to him whether he wins what might be termed a personal victory. so long as the purpose is. accom- plished. He uses tact, Is courteous and considerate at all times and avoids enml- ties. This Is both natural and matter of policy, a course far more successful Tn the long run than aggression.
 His Frequent Consultations.
 "The President consults unreservedly with his cabinet on all important ques tions, with Congressional leaders Of both parties and with prominent men through. out the country, giving due weight 10 all Judgments and opinions He keeps in close touch with public sentiment In this way and by reading the newspapers thor oughiy. He Is, certainly, not self-opin- ionated, and yet he is self-confident, and has an exact measure of his own abilities. He invarI ably listens to arguments hears all sides of question. then makes up his mind and acts accordingly. Perhaps he might be called harmonizer. This quail ty Is seen in the unity and solidity of his party He is it's acknowledged and undis-
  effective or harmonious. In hls cabinet are men selected for their intellectual force and especial capacities, men Of strong individualities and vigorous opln' ions. They are his counselors. but he Is the dominant force. He advises with them fully, but when a decision Is reached it Is his and it is he, the President. who acts. The cabinet Is always in harmony with the determination that has been ha nh of binpt diaStn- ] ton shows the persuasive yet determines President, whose arguments have brought l conviction. Each cabinet officer Is su' i prerne in his department, but is held tc l strict account for it's work. And the pol 1 icies of those departments are, to sur l prising degree, inspired by the President who is fully informed of their needs anc | the duties of each official.

 Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble. because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
 It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ming in kidney trouble.

REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Stomach Of a Man Removed, Cleaned
and Replaced.

Lewis j. McKenna is in st. Lllke's
Hospital, New York, recovering from
IN operation, one of the rarest known
TO modern science, performed on him on
February 25 by number of eminent
surgeons. The operation is known as
gastro-enterostomy and stripped of
technicaities, consists OF removing the
patients stomach, cutting away the
pyloris and several malignant growths
in its vicinity and restoring the stom-
ach to its former place. where it is eX-
pected it will in time be in condition to
perform its normal functions. Mr.. Me
Kenna was resting easy last night, and
the physicians say that if the improve
mrnt continues as ut present the patient
will be up and around the ward in Il
week. Before he went to the hospital,
Mr.. McKenra was troubled with severe
pains in the stomach. Investigation
showed total disappearance of all
acids and pepsin. A tumor as big as Il
hens egg was formed on the abdominal
wall Food taken out of the stomach
| II hours after it had been eaten was
| found to show no signs of assimilation
The stomach was cut away from the in
testines and the organ lifted completely
out Of its place and laid on a cushion
of anti-septic cloths placed on the pa
tents chest Then the doctors, actinl
quickly but surely. cut away the tumol
and the pyloris, the other malignant
growths being also thoroughly cut away
The stomach was then put back in it
accustomed place, having been joine'
to the intestines with silk sutures. Blu
little blood was apparent Throughout tn
whole operation, which lasted one hou
and 10 minutes. The patient rallied a

hooked arrangement at the top and
takes position in street. and with the
pole held erect waits for bats to come
along and bump into the hooked por-
tion. AS the native sees bat coming
he plans to have the hook in its path,
and as he moves the pole, SO as to bring
the hook into contact with the head of
the bat, the latter usually strikes it
with a bang and drops to the earth
stunned, when the native proceeds to
promptly put the bat to death. After
standing in this position for an hour or
more, the native has pile of bats at
his feet. These he takes to market the
next day and receives about two cents
each for them. The bats are eaten only
in small part. The wings, head, and, ~
fact, all but small portion OF each

The horrible bat of the islands grows

the Scientific American, do not eat the

is peculiar. The cities, towns and bar
