A Nice StkrQicaL Operdtion.

About a year ago little boy named
William A. Dressed, son of Charles
Dressed, No. 272 South Broadway, Balti-
more, was troubled with swollen nerve
in his left cheek, and so painful was it
that it was with difiiulty he could par
take of any food. Aphysician was con-
suited, and he prescribed medicine, of
which the boy took large quantities with
but little relief
1t was afterwards found that the medi-
cine had salivated him, causing one of
the teeth to decay to mere shell. The
tooth was extracted, and the next day
the boys head was swollen to an enor-
nous size, and in a few days mortifca-
ton set in. A strong acid was applied
with a camePs hair brush to his
cheek.
DIR. George B. Reynolds was then
called in and upon making an examina-
tion of the case said the jawbone was en-
tirely dead and would have to be re-
moved. This case was very rare one,
and required great delicacy in emoving
the bone without the use of knife,
which has, however, been done, portions
of it having been taken out from time to
time, until few days ago the last piece
was removed, and the boy is now en-
tirely recovered and enjoying his usual
good health; casual observer would not
notice the absence of the bone at all.

A Russian cavalry brigade recently
passed through Bucharest. A regiment
of hussars was led by young Russian
lady wearing the full uniform of the reg
iment and mounted on a magnificent
charger. 1t was the Princess Demidoff,
daughter of the honorary Colonel and
proprietor of the regiment, who spends
ten thousand dollars a year upon it. No
crack Russian heavy cavalry is so well
mounted, the horses averaging sixteen
hands, comprising chestnuts, whites,
browns, and bays respectively. The
squadrons have extremely powerful ami
mails. The men are uncommonly heavy
for hussars, but are very fine regiment.
The Don Cossacks made an especial i'm
preston on the fair spectators by reason
of the extraordinary good looks of the
men, who are mostly fair, have classically
regular features and fine athletic figures
They have the quaintest imaginable
wild music, consisting only of cymbals
and bird whistles, accompanying a choir
of about thirty singers, chanting sad, I'M
reasonable airs, but in good tune and
harmony. The Cossacks mount mere
ponies, but these animals are as hard as
ircn, quick-paced, and tame as cats,
though only ridden with a single bride.

RaiLFO0di1lO isl India.

A railroad incident occurred recently
on one of the East India lines, which was
as startling as it was singular, and may
be said TO be one of the most miraculous
escapes on record. A train was ap-
preaching bridge on a curve. When
the bridge came within sight, at dis
tance of three hundred or four hundred
yards, the engine-driver was horror
struck to discover that it was completely
in flames. Finding his break power
totally useless in the emergency, he
jumped of, as did also the fireman, Just
as the train entered upon the burning
bridge, over which it rushed, fortunately
with unabated speed, through continu-
GUS flame that rose furiously above the
height of the railroad cars. The wooden
sleepers were on fire, and parts of the
rails themselves were red-hot. The whole
train, composed of number of cars,
passed safely over, and not q passenger
was injured or scorched.

THE DRUDGE.
A EiIlart Thing.

How many people are there who really
know how to make q mustard plaster ?
Not one in hundred at the most, per-
haps, and yet mustard plasters are used
in every family. and physicians prescribe
the application. The ordinary way is to
mix the mustard with water, tempering
it with a little -four; such a plaster
as this makes is simply abominable.
Before it has half done its work it begins
to blister the patient, and leaves him
finally with a painful, flayed spot, after
producing far less effect in beneficial
way than was intended. Now, mus
tard plaster should never blister at all.
If blister is wanted, there are other
plasters far better than mustard plasters;
then, use no water, but mix the mustard
with the white of an egg, and the result
will be plaster which will draw" per
fectly, but will not produce blister on
the skin of an infant, no matter how
long it is allowed to remain on the part.

NUMBER 10.
Light Upon Paris Green

State Assayer Hayes, of Massachusetts,,
publishes warning against the use of
Paris green for the destruction of potato
bugs. He says that there is danger, in
the common mode of digging potatoes,
that the poisoned earth may adhere to
the tubers, and through lack of careful
washing before using, prove fatal. He
also speaks of the danger attending the
presence of poison in household.
In regard to these cautions Professor
Chandler, President of the Board of
Health, says: "There is Just as much
danger in having Paris green in a house
as there is in having loaded revolver,
or any other deadly weapon. 1t does
not poison the potatoes, but it would i'm
pregnate with poison lettuce or salad
that is to be eaten raw, and therefore too
much care can not be taken in its use.
and every precaution should be taken to
prevent it being deposited by the wind
on other plants. The subject has been
discussed by the Board of Health, and
it has been decided that of the twolevils,
Paris green and potato bugs, the former
is the less, and therefore we have sent
out no warning against its use. We
have, however, strictly prohibited its
sale at retail in the city. I do not con-
slider its use SO dangerous but that the
unchecked ravages of the bug would be
infinitely more So"
The ordinary Paris or imperial green
which is used in the war against the
bugs, is scientifically an aceto arsenite of
copper. 1t is the same green commonly
supposed to be so dangerous when used
in coloring wallpaper. In Watts's Chem
ical Dictionary this popular superstition
is treated as follows:
This compound is much used as a pig
ment, on account Of its splendid green
color. A great deal of needless alarm
has lately been excited about the sup
posed deleterious effects of this pigment
1t is extensively used for staining wall
papers, and persons inhabiting rooms
thus prepared are said to have had their
health seriously deranged by the arsen-
ical fumes evolved from it. Now, it is
utterly impossible that arsenic should
volatilize from such q compound at ordi-
nary temperatures. It does not decom-
pose at any temperature below redness.
The only way in which danger could
arise from the use of paper stained with
an arsenical color. is that particles of the
compound might be brushed off in dust
ing the paper, and thus become mixed
with the air of the apartment; but it is
not in this way tb 1t the supposed acci-
dents are said t6 have occurred. The
panic has arisen from mistaken notion
as to the volatility of the arsenic. That
the use of the pigment is not really
dangerous, may be safely inferred from
the fact that no bad effects are expert
enced by ahe-workmen engaged in its
manufacture.

IN Guatemala, South America, the de-
struction of the forests in the neighbor-
hood of cities is being attended with dis
astrous effects. The harvests are less in
quantity and less to be relied upon, new
forms of sickness have sprung up, the
weather is more capricious. The want
of wood for fuel and other purposes is
already felt Near Ssnsutepec, in San
Salvador, q large extent of forest ground
has been destroyed to plant a sort of
indigo, and since then storms which be-
fore. were very moderate have assumed
most violent character. The Eucalyptus
globulusis now being planted.

A7l AsCfaSL Warning.

The insanity of DR.. J. G. Aver of Low
ell affords terrible warning to adver-
tisers. He was man engaged in the
manufacture of a pill, not differing from
hundred other pills which may be
obtained at any drug store. In an un-
guarded moment he made up his mind
that he would advertise, not in the
picayune style of the common dealer,
but in comprehensive sort of way, by
which he could reach every possible pur-
chaser of pills. He started with the idea
of devoting half of his profits each year
to advertising. The result might have
been foreseen. He accumulated money
SO rapidly that he did not know what to
do with it. When he had rolled together
fifteen millions dollars and had vainly
striven to find some outlet to his ever
increasing profits, his mind gave way
under the absorbing cares of his vast
business, and he is now patient at an
asylum for the insane. How easily this
calamity might have been averted; If
he had stuck to the conservative methods
of many of our merchants and refrained
from advertising, he might have been
passing quietly through bankruptcy now
instead of being loaded down with his
uncounted millions. 1t is dangerous
experiment for man who does not want
to become rich to advertise. Or if he
advertises at all he must grudgingly
and at long intervals, lest his profits
should grow out of proportion to his re-
quirements, and he should find himself
burdened with wealth. Advertising,
conducted on the principle of devoting
half the profits of business to it, is, we
repeat, dangerous experiment. 1t pre-
cipitates fortune upon the advertiser so
suddenly that the chances are even that
he will not know what to do with his
money. The multitudinous pleasures of
bankruptcy, insolvency and shining
around" for the wherewithal to meet a
note are permanently denied to the man
who advertises. There never was in
Europe or America a great advertiser
who did not accumulate great fortune.
Let those who desire to live unburdened
by the cares of wealth take warning.

ACROSS THE SHRERT

with blush on cheek, she comes and goes;
watch her when she little knows:
wonder if she dreams of it.
Sitting and working at my rhymes.
weave into my verse at times
Her sunny hair, or CLEANS Of it.
Upon her window-ledge is set
A box of Towering lnignonette;
Morning and eve she tends to them
The ssnseless flowers, that do not care
About that loosened strand of hair,
As prettily she bends to them.
If could once contrive to get
Into that box of mignonette
Some morning when she tends to them
She comes Isee the rich blood rise
:. From throat to cheek Down go the eyes
Demurely, as she bends to them.

Ben. Butler orr Sheep Farming.

IFrom an Interview in the New York SUM-
"Turned sheep farmer to get into the
United States Senate! That is new
kind of political scheme. Of all the
ludicrous stories told about me, l believe
this is the -. 1 don't know. though"
as though his mind recurred to other
stories that eclipsed it in grotesqueness.
"I don't know. No, somebody must
have dreadfully needed a paragraph"
he said, seriously. 81 don't own an
inch of land in Colorado, and don't ex-
pect to. l have never negotiated for
any land there, and never expect to
represent Colorado in the Senate. My
son-in-law, Mr.. Ames, is, and has been
for some years, in a business in Min
nesota that 1 think is perfectly salts
factory to him; at least, l never have
seen any indication on his part of wish
to lean upon his father.in-law for sup
port"
"Not even when he was Governor of
Mississippi, General?'
Ben. Butler smiled and went on
Colonel Craig has never won, for he
never had any lawsuit about Colorado
lands. He acquired lands there by
purchase, and lent him money on bond
and mortgage on them, or advanced
money, and that, presume, is how the
story originated. No, l shall not become
sheep farmer until"
Here two harps and violin on the
sidewalk opposite the open window
struck up "The Sweet By and By" and
General Butler left his sentence un.

A FUNNY joke was perpetrated on a
music-loving but anti-dancing Metho,
dist minister of Alexandria, Mimi,
lately. He was at village hotel dis
playing his skill to a number of anna
teur musicians, when a gay party O.
young folks in an adjoining parlor, think
ing it too bad to have so much gooG
music wasted, formed a cotilion and Ell
joyed themselves very much, while the
good Methodist brother played away
with all his might, never for momen
suspecting that he played while they
danced,
