Bismarck Versus Ka;serjsm.
From the Chicago EVENING Post.

Which now affects the German people

man of blood and iron" had enough sins

telegram. which precipitated the Franco
ffussian war. But the experiences of
three wars, and. it may be, the passing
or the years, taught him wisdom.
Bismarck resolutely set his face against
a pollcy of aggression and to the last re-
PEELED the idea Of a war in which Ger
many should wantonly make the attack.
A passage in one Of his later speeches to
the reichstag-February s. 1883. only two
years before he ceased to be chancellor

Keep the Pennie, Moving.

From the New Bedford Standard.
Ordinarily people are very anxious to
get rid of l-cent pieces. They pass them
whenever they can and accept them in
change with some reluctance. Now just
because there is a shortage of pennies
there is a disposition to hold On to them.
boarding pennies is not only senseless,
but it will make trouble. More pennies
than ever are needed now because prices
OF many articles have risen less thar S
cents or some sum not a multiple OF five.
"A package of cigarets that cost a nickel
now costs 6 cents: and 10 and lucent pacls-
ages cost IL and II cents. respectively.
Don't hoard pennies. Keep them in cir
culation. If you have many turn them
in to the banks. Nothing is to be gained
by keeping them, and they are needed t.
carry on business.

Bone Grating.
From the World Outlook

FTUW INC OFIu OUTLOOK.
One intensely interesting development OF
war surgery is bone grating. Surgery
used always to be destructive. At the be-
ginning of the war there were so many
amputations performed that the cities
were filled with cripples. But now a con-
structive surgery has developed consisting
of putting new bones into old bodies with
so perfect a graft that the body does not
know the difference. For instance, q shin
bone has been placed in a cheek to take
the place Of a fractured jawbone and soon
became a perfect fit.
BY the use Of electrically driven tools a
graft may be secured from a tibia Ia, Rom

Chlorine $500 parts

The principal salts present are
sulphates, carbOnates Of calcium
magnesium and sodium. The
total residue is neither very

is low and is due probably to the
fact that the we'll is new. The
chlorine is moderate.
