Dental Practice.

We know young man in this county
who writes ''Dr." before his name and M.
d. after it, who, after having to his own
satisfaction mastered the science Of medi-
cine and surgery, has concluded to turn
his attention to practical dentistry. In
order to enable him to pull teeth without
pain he procured the head Of a sheep that
had lately been slaughtered and repaired
to the brush along the bank of a creek.
When thus secluded, as he supposed, from
praying eyes, he produced his forceps,
gently smOothed the sleeps face with his
hand, probably to inspire the patient with
confidence, then opened his mouth, laid
firmly hold of a mOlar with his tooth
hooks and gave a surge that brought out
the tooth. He then stepped back, wiped
his forceps on the seat of his pants, and
said in the most soothing tones: - Madam,
did it hurt you? % A man who was fishing
in the creek, not twenty feet away, didn't
hear what the sheep said WaIia WaLla

1 Book Agents Experience.

talked on. His sharp eyes took in at n

something after this fashion
.''Tisn't over and above nice, that's

pudding. Baked beans, real country baked
beans, too. I'm tired to death. There's
no hOGse near. Guess I'll stay here and
rest over Sunday. can stand the dirt one
dav."
Just here his attention was called to a
small blaek-and-Ian dog that seemed to be
frantically jumping in and out of the stove
oven. Being somewhat curious 10 observe
the dog more closely, he moved his char
Ground where he could do so, and beheld
Just inside the open oven door pot of
beans steaming hot, and emitting the sa-
vOry smell which it seemed he was not
alone in approaching. AT every jump into
the oven the little black-and-tan would
catch mOuthful of the beans, drop them
on the floor until they were cool, then de
your them, and spring into the own for
more. The poor dog was evidently half
starved, and the book agent kept on talk
inc Irp'' his wares and telling no tales.
This went on for some time, the good
woman being entirely unconscious of the
havoc made with her Sunday morning
breakfast. At last the dog. giving two or
three cOnvulsive jumps into the pot,
brought out huge piece of boiling hot
pork upon the floor. The young man
could stand it no longer, but burst into a
loud lattgh, which with the yelping of the
dog. who had sadly burned his mouth,
called the wOman's attentiOn to the state
of her bean-pOt.
Rising hastily, she gave the poor little
black-and-tan kick that sent him bowling
through the doorway; and then she ex-
claimed
THAT ere pla@uey dog Is the torment
of my life bakin' days, for he kuo10s beans
just as well rs folks do, by the smell Of
'em ~
The young agent blushed, conscious that
he was hltj but he ''blushed unseen" by
his irate hostess, who, STOPPING down,
coOlly picked up the pork, adding
He thinks he's folks, that pesky dog
does! I'll larn him better MANNERS This
is the third time he's pulled out that ere
pork on TO the floor this very afternoon
But he's as neat critter rs ever run on
four legs. reckon faint hurt any"
Back again into the bean-pOt went that
unfortunate bit of pork, and the book agent
went his way, concluding he would not
stop over Sunday, and meditating on
''ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain. .',-ToUth's Companion.

A Wicked Sell.

A very wicked sell was perpetrat ed on
the good people of Dubuque on Monday
night. 1t seems that a cute, sleek chap
arrived in that city few days before, gave
ont that he was the brother of Mark
Twain, and advertised lecture to be de
livered on Monday evening by that great
humoriSt. Bills and advertisements were
printed, tickets left on sale at the book
and drug stores, and everything passed
along very much in the usual way.
'YOung Clemens became quite a lion,
ran I'D bills at various places, and 2OO or
300 persons invested their regular seventy
five cents apice in the lecture. and duly as
spmbled to hear il. OF course the lecturer
was rather dilatOry in making his appear

stamping and calling to bring him out.
But he didn't come. The audience waited
till long after the time at which Mark
should have been telling his frog story
when it finally penetrated somebody's
Uranium that there might be sell in
the case. Investigation developed the

Fruit and Health.

DIR. Hunt said at a recent meeting OF the
Warsaw Horticultural Society, that IAN
absence of fruits implied doctors bills"
We have urged for many years the i'm
pOrtance of a regular supply of ripe fruit
to prevent disease, and insisted that the
best medicine-chest which an emigratinP
family could carry to a newly settled coun
try would be box of early-bearing fruit
trees, currants, goOseberry and raspberry
bushes, and strawberry plants. We knew
a family who moved West, and took with
them a very large supply of dried fruit,
which lasted them throughout the first
summer. None of them were sick, al
though disease prevailed all about them
that year; but the next year, with more
comforts and less privatiOns, but with no
fruit, they suffered much from sickness.
Other Western residents have told us that
so long as they could have ripe fruit, they
have been free from all disease resulting
from malaria.-SouthsT7l Farmer.

Love, Despair, Suicide.

4 sad story of love, despair, and DEATH
comes to us from San Francisco. AyounS
artist named William FreClerickSen, VINO
arrive in that city few months ago anu
who had not been able to make his cur
rent expenses during his stay there, re-
ceived the sum of $50 for painting q por-
trait. On receiving the money he invited
two friends to accompany him on drive
to the Cliff House. Arrived at the hotel,
Frede-icksen ordered splendid lunch, 70
which, with few bottles OF - green seal"
himself and companions tild ample Just
ice. The lunch and wine being disposed
of, Fredericksen proposed a stroll on the
beach. As they walked along he sad:
- have left package at the drn" store
on Taylor street. and If anything should
happen to me, want it destroyed Ills
companions laughed ut the idea OF any
thing happening to him. But they soon
found that his wild talk, rs it seemed 10
them. was no Joke. but a grim reality;
for no sooner had they reached the beach
than he suddenly turned toward the sea,
tore open his vest, and drawing a pistol
from his pocket, placed the muzzle
against his breast and drew the trigger.
The suicide fell and i'm a few seconds eX-
pired. Subsequent investigation brought
out the facts of the ease. The deceased
formerly resided in Indianapolis, and
while there, made the acquaintance OF
young lady whose parents had long held
a high position in society. The young
peOple fell desperately in love and wished
10 marry. but obstacles We're thrown in
their way. With the fatal blindness OF
passion they gave their affection unre-
strained sway, and in December she told
her lover that it must soon become ap-
parent how complete her devotion to him
had been. Fearing the wrath OF the girl's
father, Fredericksen lett indianapolis and
went TO San Francisco. The young man
heard continually from his promised wife.
She had been obliged to confess her fault,
and nothing but her assurance that her
lover would send for her shortly prevent
ed her parents from sending her adritt.
Meanwhile FrederickSen struggled against
adverse circumstances, but his troubles so
weighed on his mind that it gave way and
he became a suicide.
