Five lovers in various parts of the
United States have within a week muir
dered the women who rejected them.
One of these criminals, Louis Guetig,
clerk of the Spencer House, Indianap-
Oils, fired SO wildly at the woman he
intended to kill that two others were
wounded by stray bullets. He after
ward gave the following account of his
feelings on subject: MARY went back
on me, and it made me sick; | had
spasms for a while. Finally, after she
had told me several times that she
would not have any more to do with
me, | concluded to kill her. She re-
fused to accept even a note from me.
| went off and got full of beer then and
have kept full ever since. Last even
ing | walked up to where she was
standing, drew my revolver, and asked
her if she would promise to accept me.
She said she would. But | knew she
was just saying that because she was
afraid | vas going to kill her. | don t
know how many shots | fired, | meant
to save one for myself, but when 1
placed the pistol to my heart and pull
ed the trigger, the shots were all gone.
| am sorry they were. am sorry they
we're. | don't want any penitentiary
business in mine for this. | ought to
hang for it, and | want to. | want to
be buried right beside Mary though"
CROP IN ORANGE.-A Chapel Hill
correspondent Of the Rural Messenger
writes: The tobacco crop IS not very
good, which, | think, was caused by
SO much rain. The crop is being cut.
Some are i~ue-curlng; others believing
there is no money In this mode, are
using the old method. Around our
town this crop is very little cultivated,
although the soil is well adapted to its
cultivation. Orange comfy, as you
are aware, Is n of the best tobacco
growing counties in our State, but our
crop is short this year, by one third, |
think"

vile Neps, dated the 18th, SAYS The

DIR. Thomas of Detroit details in the
Deut0I Cosmos a case IN which he sue
cessfully inserted in the mouth OF a
gentleman. who had lost a right supe-
rlor cuspidate, a solid and healthy
tooth that he had removed from a wO-
mans mouth four weeks previously.
He opened into the canal and pulp
chamber of the tooth, from the apex of
the root only: cut the end of one
eighth of an inch Dit being that much
toe long,. reduced thesize somewhat in
centre of root Git being a tritfe larger
than the root ~extracted), filled and
placed it in position. He says that
several dentists were not able to dis
tinguish the transplanted tooth from
the others. Two features III the case
that he calls particular attention to
are: That although the tooth had been
in his office four weeks, there IS no
~perceptible change IN color, and that
the reattachment is as perfect as though
it had been transplanted or replanted
the same day of extraction. Or.
Thomas knows of but two obstacles IN
the way of the perfect practlcablllty of
''transplanting;' first, the difficulty Of
obtaining the proper teeth at the
proper time and. second, the posi-
blilty OF incubation. The latter IS the
more formidable of the two, and, to
escape the ills that might follow, the
greatest caution is necessary. The
first difficulty is more easily gotten
over for it is not necessary hat the
tooth transplanted should correspond
exactly in shape and size to the one
extracted: If it is too large, it may be
reduced: or. if too small. lew osseous
deposit will supply the deficiency.

The Real Hero.

In 1893 the Pruasian officers of the gar
rison of Colberg established an economi-
cal mess, of which certain poor immi-
grants we're glad to partake. They oh.
served one day an old major of hussars,
who was covered with the scars of
wounds received in the Seven Years
War, and half hidden by enormous gray
mustachios. The conversation turned
ON duels. A young stout-built cornet
began to prate in ali authoritative tone
ON the subject.
"And you, major, how many duels
have you fought ?"
"None, thank Heaven, answered the
old hussar, in a subdued voice &C. have
fourteen wounds, and Heaven be praised,
there is not one in my back /; so that I
may be permitted to say that feel my
self happy in never having fought
duel"
"But you shall fight one with me-"
exclaimed the cornet, reaching across to
give him blow.
The major, agitated, grasped the table
to assist himself in rising, when unani-
nous cry was raised:
"Don't stir, major"
All the officers present joined in seiz-
ing the cornet, when they threw him
out at the window, and sat down again
at the table as if nothing had occurred.
