A true story-A lady was stopping with
her little son at Chicago hotel, and he was
fretful at the dinner table, until she became
exaspe. ated and said to him in an undertol e,
''crme with me up stairs and will attend to
your case" Pulling back he blubbered out,
in voice loud enough to be heard over most
of the well-iled dining room, "Say, mother,
are you going to otake your hand or your slip

TRANSMITTING IN THE NIGHT.-A gen.
tleman, says the Western RuraRSt, anxious
to ascertain the effects OF transplarting at
night instead OF day, made an experiment
with the following results: He transplanted
ten cherry trees while in bloom, CONNER cling
at tour O'Clock in the afternoon. Those
transplanted during the daylight shed their
blossoms, producing little or no fruit, while
those planted in the dark maintained their
condition fully. He did the same with ten
dwarf trees, after the lruit was one-third
grown. Those transplarted during the day
shed their fruit; those transplanled during
the night perfected their crop, and showed no
injury from having been removed With
each of these trees he removed some earth
with the roots. The incident is fully vouched
for; and if a few similar expert ments produce
like result. it will be strong Argument to
horticulturists, etc., to Go such work at
night.

down in the street. The Iwner had already
gwen consent to have the animal killed, and a
messenger had been dispatche for the regu-

MERCURIAL POISONING IN DENTISTRY.
Some statements having become current, as
serting the objectionabeuess OF using tie red
suphide of mercury for artificial gums, on ac-
count of its producing salvation, an expert
enced dentist writes to The American Chem
ist in refutation of such an idea. He says
that not only is the sulphide tf mercury very
insoluble even in concentrated acids, and not
attacked by alkaline fluids, but, in The case
If gums. each particle is, as it were, sur
rounded by a film Of India rubber, which
belcs to protect it from being acted upon,-li
such protection were necessary. The writer
states that he has made very large quantities
OF vermion, and always taken care to pro-
tect the workmen from the effects OF the nler-
curry itself. but without being able to prevent
them from handling the vermilion rather
carelessly, or from inhaling some OF the dusl;
and yet without the first case OF nercurial
poisoning having made its appearance, the
same workmen having been employed Tor
years, and all enjoying good health.
