NEW METHOD IN SURGERY.
Which Reduces the Amount of
Anesthetic Necessary.

Perhaps the greatest single factor in
diminishing the danger of anesthesia
is the use of as little anethetic as is
necessary. The administration of mar
coticS Ut fore aneSthsia is one of the
methods adopted to reach this end
To this Knapp has recently added an
other method, namely, the artificial
dimnution of the circulating blood dur
ing ancsthesia by stopping the circua-
ton in the eXtrcmities with the help
Of "lestic bandages.
Experimental work on animals has
uniformly shown that such diminution
Of the circulating blood enables the
production Of anesthesa with q much
smallS' amount of the ancsthetic white
the awakening from Inconsistencies
Very rapidly follows the admission OF
the circulating blood to the vessels of
the extramities.
DIR. EUR Nerth had an opportunity to
try this method i'll Biers clinic In Her
lin, and reports very favorably upon it
He administered anesthetcs in over 100
cases after preliminary bandaging of
the lower eXtremities; the arms were
never cut off from the circulation be-
cause of the greater danger of injury
to the nerves il the upper extremities.
TIL results fully bore out the data Of
experimental work: Less anesthetic
was used i'll all these cases than usu-
ally. strong individuals being easily
aneSthetlzed by means of the ether
crop method; the recovery from anes-
thesla followed almost Immediately the
removal of the bardages from the legs;
no injurious after effects were noted.
Besides these manifest advantages OF
the new method one more is mentioned
by EUR Verth, the possibility, namely
of performing what may be called au-
totran$lusion in case of any accidents
during anesthesia; in case OF chloro-
forms especially the blood Of the ex-
tremities rich i'll carbonic acid gas may
act as powerful physiological stim,i
lus to the respiratory centers that are
so powerfully depressed by this mar

Springfield, ILL.,, is having all kinds
of trouble over the plans for the Lin
coin celebration in that city. 1t seems
a great pity, too, since Springfield is
the burial place of Lincoln and one
of the notable observances of the day
should properly be held in that city.
However, the chief feature arranged is
a banquet and this is where the trouble
comes in. One element protests
against the proposition to have wine
served at the banquet and this has re-
suited in a split, 50 that a strictly
cold water banquet will be held. An
other faction objected to the $25 a
plate arrangement and this has caus-
ed a second split. Then, the local Ne
gro league felt sighted in some way
and further trouble has ensued. The
banquet is still week and more away
and the chapter of troubles is not yet
ended.

An Absentee Governor.

The state of Washington has granted
it's new governor an indefinite leave of
absence-a most unusual action upon
the part of a state but arising from
very unusual circumstances. S. G..
Cosgrove, who was elected governor
in November, has been seriously i'll
ever since that time and is still seri-
Ously i'll, for that matter. Not until
this week was he able to leave Cali
fornia. where he has been to seek relief
at the Paso Robes hot springs, and
journey to Olympia to take the oath of
office. Having taken the oath of
office and gone through an inaugural
ceremony which occupied only a few
minutes, he was carried back to a
special car and journeyed to California
briefly, though he was in such an I'M
strung condition that he aternated
between tears and laughter, so the ac-
counts tell us, while he was speaking.
AS soon as he had retired, the legis-
lature passed a joint resolution grant
ing him an indefinite leave of absence.
In his absence Lieutenant Governor
Hay will fulfil the duties of the execu-
tive office and fortunately for WASH
ington it is said that the lieutenant
governor is man we'll qualified for
the important duties before him.
Commenting upon the peculiar situa-
ton now existing, the Spokane
Spokesman Review says. "Mr Co.'S
grove has been a desperately sick man,
and is yet far from robust health and
strength to bear the burdens of great
office. He must return to the South
and seek a slowly returning vigor, but
meanwhile the complications arising
out of his illness have been greatly
simplifed by his Inauguration and the
constitutional assumption by Lieut.
Gov. Hay of the duties and labors Of
the govcrnorship 1t is a stroke of
good fortune that Mr.. Hay brings to
this work d high degree of zeal, devo-
ton to the public welfare and wide
knowledge of the states needs and of
men in public life

We know that broken leg cannot
be set by faith, or a decayed tooth
removed by the mere desire to have
good teeth. But 1t is certain that
faith-so. acutely defined by the Apos-
tie Paul as the substance of things
hoped for'-can actually cause GER
tain physical pains to disappear, and
that, joined to common sense, its
power is almost limitleSs.
Desire to attain certain qualities OF
character will lead, if the desire is
strong enough, to their attainment
One is vitality what one aspires to be-
The power of aspiration and the pow
er of faith do not act as directly on
the BODY as they do on the character
They are hampered by grosser condl-
tions and limitations. But, neverthe-
less, their power is great. There are
innumerable examples of the sickly
man, actuated by a keen ambition to
be strong, becoming almost miracu-
lously robust-healed by faith in the
feasibility of his throwing off his ills.
The Biblical invitation to the physi-
clan to heal himself is nowadays often
addressed to the patient. Be wise and
temperate, learn the benefits Of fresh
air and exercise. and believe that there
is nothing much the matter, and you
will be WE'LL during most of your days,
at any rate. Faith may remove noun
tains. Certainly then it can remove
the woes of the hypochondriac and the
jumpy neurotic.

The Carmack Trial.

The Carmack trial at Nashville
promises to result in political feud in
Tennessee which will be fully as bitter
and as long. drawn out as that which
resulted in Kentucky from the assass-
ination Of Governor Goebel The
Kentucky feud was one in which
party lines were strictly drawn be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats,
although the better element of the
Democratic party was soon alienated
by the desperate and absolutely I'M
scrupulous efforts of the Goebel fac
ton to convict Caleb Powers in spite
of the law and the evidence. But in
the Democratic party, as the assassinS
of Ex-Governor Carmack were Demo-
cratic politicians of prominence. The
feeling has reached the stage where
the governor himself has been charged
with having prompted Carmack's as
sassination and in self defense he pub
licly repudiated these assertions in his
recent inaugural address.
1t is a great pity that the Carmack
trial should be submerged in politics,
since it is thus rendered much more
unlikely that the ends of justice will
be secured. Evidently, it is the aim
of the Tennessee system to secure as
members of the jury men who are as
ignorant as men can we'll be, since all
those who have read newspaper ac-
counts of the crime or who have in
any degree formed an opinion are at
once thrust aside. Incidentally, the
trial is also becoming a struggle be-
tween the prohibitionists and the
prohibitionists, since the ex-
governor was assassinated largely as
a result OF his activity in behalf of the
prohibition cause. Tennessee is on
trial before the Union and the outcome
of the doings in that court room at
Nashville will be watched with interest
| and solicitude in every part of the
| country.

WHISTLER, MAN OF MYSTERY.
Father, West Point Graduate, Built
Some Early Railroads.

Whistler, in spite of the radiance of
the limelight, was a man of mystery.
This, indeed contributed to his celeb
rity. He appeared in London and star
tied the insular conservatives with his
astonishing canvases. Where did he
come from? Who was he? Why was he
there? Nobody knew about his ante
cedants, nobody could answer. And his
fellow countrymen could do little more.
He testified in the Ruskin trial that he
was born in st. Petersburg; he was
claimed by Baltimore; Lowell Mass,
was his birthplace. Like Homer, he
made cities notable that even assumed
his nativity; like Shakespeare, his no
mage and youth We're hidden.
What, for instance, could be apter as
a cradle for the man of destiny than
the career of Whistler's father. He
was West Point graduate, who built
some of our earliest railroads and was
suddenly landed by the tide of prog
ress in St Petersburg. He built the
first line in Russia and met everybody
from The car down. His family
learned Russian ways and little Jimmy
had his first drawing lessons in the
Academy Of Fine Arts on the Neva
Remote, indeed, from the Lowell and
Stonington homes Of austere angles
and the society of his orthodox mater
nal rcl3 lions. Then his sister, with ro-
mantle fitness. married the young ply
sicians, Seymour Haden destined to be
come enc of England's most famous
ctchers. Whistler drifted to Paris, and
his life there was that of Murger3

venture. His friends, his models. his
art are sources of endless delight

There is hardly anything he did at this
period which is not full of delicious fun
ana eNtravagant buffoonery. And yet
he was laying the foundation of his
maturer talent. and even through the

Power of Faith,

- VI lihHu TIhpIeSS.)
A patient who believes that nothing
can save him helps to seal his own
doom. says the British Medical Jour
nal That is to say. all the skill and
experience of the physician are of
little avail unless they are augmented
by the faith of the patient, and the
popularity Of the various forms OF
faith healing seems to attest that
there is much in it.
The body is the slave of the mind
TO imagine yourself i'll is actually to
be ILL., To will yourself well is often
to become well. 1t has now been made
an open question whether the presence
and the drugs of the physician are not
OF Importance primarily because they
excite falth: 1t is curious paradox
that truth dwells only in comnrom;Sa
Therefore the doctrines of the extreme

A Thought.

Suppose no flower of beauty bright
In all the world had charmed our sight
And suddenly a rose was there.
With all its grace of scent and hue,
Swayed by the breeze, lit by the Jew,
IncomDarably fair!
Is there a man who would not feel
A rapture through his senses steal
And bind him with a spell
Who would not own such thankfulneSS
AS blinded eyes could never guess,
And words could never tell?
Too many sunsets we have seen,
Tbo many glades of gracious green;
By blessings manifold Oerfed,
For us lifes miracles grow null,
Our ears, our eyes. our hearts are dull
Our souls are surfeited

H. Rider HagSard is We'll known 10
thrilling fiction. but he tells 4 solemn
ana Impressive truth when he declares
that a sood way to promote sobriety
would be for the general public to stop
treating drunkenness as Joke. Nine
spectators orr of 10. or probably a lar
ger proportion. find it very funny when
an actor upon the stage initiates a
drunken man. Nine readers out of 10
find it very laughable when they read
the account of a drunken mans attempt
to find the keyhole or to make his way
up the front stairs without disturbing
the sleeping family They likewise find
1t very amusing when they see man
under the influence of liquor making his
fence or a convenient lamp-post. Such
a spectacle arouses contempt or pity in
some breasts, 10 be sure. but more Of
ten it brings a laugh and is treated as
a huge joke. One does not have to be
q deep student of the inebriate problem
to see til, sound sense in the suggestion
of the distinguished English novelist
that sobriety would be promoted in a
very practical fashion and to great
degree if people who do not drink
would fail to find amusement in the
actions and talk of those who are un-
Ger the influence Of liquor.
