All the municipalities OF Ohio
held elections Tuesday, in which
the Republicans made perceptible
gains all along the line, though
not enough TO change the status of
affairs as they already existed The
Republican candidate was elected
mayor of Cincinnati 10 succeed an
incumbent of the same faith. aud
the same result occurred with the
Democrats at Cleveland. the two
largest cities in the State. Both
parties held practically the same
towns whose administrations they
controlled before the election and
in cases where marked changes or
largely increased majorities were
given for either party the cause Is
attri buted to special local issues.
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson is re-elect-
ed mayor of Cleveland which is
taken TO mean that he will be n
candidate for Governor. while

The mirror mats are most desirable,

THREAD USED IN SURGERY.

u
The modern surgeon employs In
his work dozens of different kinds
of thread for sewing up cuts and
wounds. Among them are kanga-
roo 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 tendons taken from the kan
CARGO, which are used for sewing
severe wounds, will hold for about
four weeks before they break away.
Silk thread will hold for much LON
ger, sometimes six months, while
the fine-silyer wire is practically IN
destructible.
With the entire outfit surgeon
is able to select 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 yarie-
ties of needles are required. Be-
sides the needle craned in different
segments of circle surgeons use
needles shaped like spears, jayelins
and bayonet points. Some are as
long as bodkins, with point like a
miniature knife blade. Others have
the sharpened end triangular.

A Promoter Of Harmony.

'Exam" stories are always popu-
lar in school and college circles.
One of the newest and best is cred
tied to Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia university.
A student in one of the preparatory
schools was asked to mention the
distinctions between major and mi
nor chords. His reply read:
Gar be it from me to encourage
such invidious distinctions. Let us
rather devote our attention to the
causes that led up to the Thirty
Years wars"
This naive reply was followed by
historical essay for which the
young man had carefully prepared
himself.

Aluminium cold.

New remarkable properties of
aluminium are still being discov-
cred: Its lightness, ductility and
strength are well understood, but
even these qualities are being con-
stantls developed and enlarged.
Mixed with small quantity of
gold, beautiful ruby tinted metal
is produced that can be used for
decorative art. IL is said that a
comparatively thin sheet of the met
al will turn a bullet. Wire has
been drawn from it as fine as and
not much heavier than fine silk
fiber. In violins it produces tone
as fine as the most perfect Stradi-
varius. The racing shells made of
it are constructed of sheets of only
one-nineteenth Of an inch thick
that are as strong as an inch board
and less liable to break. 1t does not
tarnish, and acids have no effect
upon it. Race horses are shod with
it. Wounds are sewed up with the
wire.

Could Pound Il Meeeeaarx.

Judge Hubbard of Iowa argued a
case in the supreme court of the
United States recently against the
attorney general of Iowa. The at
torney general spoke first. lie
pounded the reading desk during his
argument and waved his arms and
did lot of things lawyers are not
supposed to do in the presence Of
the august supreme court. When
Hubbard arose, he said:
May it please the honorable
court, l could pound this desk. 1
have strong right arm and could
break this board to splinters, and I
would, too, if I were addressing a
jury"
Then he stopped and looked Sc.
verely at the attorney general. The
justices on the bench nodded their
heads approvingly and looked at
the attorney general also. That
worthy said afterward that if he
looked as small as he felt he must
have been practically invisible

Invisible ArtlIIerv.

The experiment has been made at
Aldershot of painting guns and linz
bers with the three primary colors,
red, blue and yellow, as it has been
found that guns thus painted har-
monte with any kind of back
ground SO well that at short dis
lance they are difficult to locate.
Six guns SO painted were placed on
the Fox hills, and the artillery Off
GERS at Aldershot were invited to
try to locate them at about 5000
yards with fieldglasses; but, al
though the officers knew the direc-
ton, none was able to locate them
all. Some horse artillery. sent for
ward to engage the guns advanced
to within 1000 yards before they
located them. The painting on the
guns is seen at close quarters to be
in daubs and streaks.-London

A Prison Luxury.

Electric lights in prison is a lux
mry that would have been thought
impossible even a decade ago. In
the new Tombs prison in Gotham,
which will be brought into use in
the course of few months, proba-
bly, the first of the year, there will
be an electric light in each cell,
with sink and toilet and an iron
bedstead. Some of these conven.
fences are in use in other prisons,
the Western penitentiary among
others. but the Tombs will be one
of the first to have individual in
candescent lights for the use of the
prisoners. The dirty old Tombs,
with its bugs, cockroaches and in
eradicable prison smell, will then
be torn down, and one of the grim
landmarks of the city will pass
away forever.

Parsons Retort Was Ready.

Many stories are told of Rowland
Hill, who was buried beneath the
pulpit of the chapel at his own re-
quest. 1t was his custom to read
from his desk any prayer that might
be sent in, and on one occasion he
commenced: '"rhc prayers of this
congregation are desired for IA brief
pause and clearing of the throat)
the Rev. Rowland Hill that he will
not go riding about in his carriage
on Sundays. For our Lord rode
humbly upon colt, the foal of an
ass" The reverend gentleman
looked up, not in the least discon-
certed, and graycly said, eff the
writer of this impertinent request
is among the congregation and will
go into the vestry after service and
let me put a saddle on his back, I
will ride him home instead of going
in my carriage."-London Chron-

600 acres more of prairie grass.
which needs little or no cultivation

Saskatchewan, Alberta and Atha-
basca there are immense tracts of
agricultural country sufficient to
supply the United Kingdom with all
the corn and cattle required. In

mated to comprise over so,ooo,ooo
acres of farm land. OF this vast

those new leather cushions with
rough edges that seem to be the
fad Just now. The skin is tanned,
leaving the edges rough, and the
pillows are made up with the rough
edges hanging over. She has her

but / should not think of using it
except in my reception hall or on

so many women who haven't learned
that cushions as well as everything
else should be appropriately placed.
Think of a "cake wall" cushion in

BROKE THE RECORD.

Iron ore was loaded at the Chi
cago and Northwestern docks at
Ashland, Wis, one day recently at
the tremendous rate of speed of
5000 tons an hour. The exact fig
ures were 6, zee tons IN one hour
and eight minutes, the ore being
loaded into the steamer james III.
Hoyt which isebnilt with special
view TO rapid loading and unload
ing.
The Northwestern line has two
big ore docks at Ashland, each, of
them about a third of mile long,
and it was at one of these large stor-
age docks that the Hoyt received its
load in record breaking time. SUI
perintendent Sampson of the North
western personally supervised the
loading, and several newspaper men
witnessed it and corroborated the
correctness of the record. The last
ore was LET into the hold and the
lines were cast off in record break
ing time. In fact the engineer of
the boat hardly found time to get
the water ballast out of the vessel.

An east end girl has devised
dainty bed covering from family
heirloom, large and handsomely
embroidered linen sheet, which was
done in Paris many years ago for
her grandmother. A deep hem goes
all around the sheet, with a hem
stitching. About seven inches from
this a line of drawn work appears,
and between this and the hem are
embroidered in white linen floss
patterns of flowers and vines. Be
tween this and the middle of the
sheet on the other side of the drawn
work another pattern of leaves and
flowers is seen, and the crest and
motto of the family appear in the
middle of the sheet. The young

Then the clergyman sought the
congressman and asked him the
question. Mr.. Payne hesitated and
then remarked:

the total abstainer lost his support,
