AND RESETTING
TEETH.

Nearly sixty years since, Delabarre,
the noted French dentist and writer
on dental topics, believed it possible to
extract an unhealthy tooth, remove
the unsound part, and put it back in
the socket, and that it would grow in.
to it's old place. Experiment after ex-
pertinent proved him to be right.
Since then the matter has received
very little attention, and, in truth,
seemed forgotten. despite its import
ance. until Magitot, another Paris
physician, has lately taken 1t up. He
has made long and serious study of
it, and divides the grating of the dem
tai organs into extracting teeth and
putting them back after q certain time,
and drawing teeth from one person
and placing them in the mouth of an
other. Toothache arises from abscess

RUSSIAN FEMALE DOCTORS.

When the Russian female doctors
who heroically served as army sur
geons in Turkey during the last Turke-
Russian war returned to their country,
they found that the opposition to their
admission to regular medical practice
had disappeared. They arc now off,
cially employed, on an equal footing
with other members of the Faculty, in
many hospitals and are in different
provincial districts.

NATURES WASTED FORCES.

Concerning the force of nature which
man will probably use when coal is ex-
hausted, DIR. Siemens, the English sci
enlist, speaks as follows in an address
at Glasgow, Scotland:
| "When, little more than twelve
months ago, visited the great Falls of
Niagara, was particularly struck
with the extraordinary amount of force
which is lost, as far as the useful pur-
poses of man are concerned. One hun
dred million tons of water fall there
every hour from a vertical height of
one hundred and fifty feet, which rep
resent an aggregate of six million eight
hundred thousand horsepower, or, in
other words, to pump back the water
from below to above the fall would re-
qu're an annual expenditure of not less
than 266, ,OO0, 900 tons of coal, calculated
at an average consumption of four
pounds of coal per horse power per
hour which amount is equivalent to
the total coal consumption of the world.
In stating these facts in my inaugural
address on assuming the presidency of
the Iron and Steel Institute, I ventured
to express the opinion that in order to
utilize natural forces of this description
at distant towns and centers of indus
try the electric current might be re-
sorted to. This view was at the time
unsupported by experimental data such
as have been able since then to col
lect. 1t would not be necessary to seek
on the other side of the Atlantic for an
application of this mode of transmit
ting the natural force of falling water
as there is perhaps no country where
this force abounds to greater extent
than on the west coast of Scotland,
with its elevated lands and heavy RAIN
falls. You have already conducted the
water from one of your high level
locks to Glasgow by means of galvan-
ic tube and how much easier would
it be to pass the water in its descent
from elevated lands through turbines,
and to transmit the vast amount of
force that might thus be collected, by
means of stout metallic conductors, to
towns and villages for the supply of
light and mechanical powerI
1t would be wrong to suppose that
resumption of the use of natural
forces would throw us back to the time
of the windmill and the primitive wa
ter-wheel which used to give motion to
isolated establishments. We shall
have learned to store, to transport and
to utilize these forces in a manner
adapted to our superior requirements
and who knows whether the time NAV
not come when our descendants in the
third or fourth generation will look
back upon the indiscriminate users of
coal with something like the same feel
ing that we look upon the users of flint
and bronze implements"

A NEW SORT OF GHOST STORY.

A NEW SORT OF GHOST STORY
The village of Martinsyille, nea
Wheeling, Va, starts a novel ghos
story on its rounds. In 1874 a mar
named Stephen Templeton disappear
ed from Martinsville and his family
He had received nearly $500 In pay
ment of note for some property he
had sold, taken a skif to go to neigh
boring swamp to cut hoop poles, and
never returned. The skiff was found
upset in the river, the river was drag
ged, and diligent search was made,
but no trace of Templeton could be
found. His wife and children gave
him up for dead, and time passed on.
The other day young man was cros-
sing swamp to reach ferry, and
says that he was accosted by the head
less trunk of a man that seemed to
rise up before him out of the ground.
The apparition said he was Stephen
Templeton, who had been foully mur-
dered for the money he had about him
-$7S5. He was cutting hoop poles,
and his murderer, whom he named,
got hold of his axe, split his skull
open, and then severed his head. He
was buried near the foot of certain
tree, which he pointed out, where his
bones might be found, together with
the axe with which the deed was done.
He wanted his murderer prosecuted,
and said that he was willing and able
to appear against him in court if nee.
essary to secure his conviction. The
young man told a few friends of this
ghostly interviewer, and they resolv-
ed that before saying anything about
it they would dig for Templeton's
bones, to prove the ghost story. They
digged at the place and found bones
and boots. OF course the remains
could not be identified, but the village
cobbler recognized the boots as his
work, and like those he made for
to accommodate his corn 8.
Those were Templeton's boots, and
the bones must needs be Templeton's
bones. Whether or not there was
any ghost came to tell them where to |
look, those young men found Temple
toms bones, that had been missing for
five years and more. The axe that
had welded among the
hoop poles was also found in the shall
ow grave according to the ghost
story. When it was noiscd about that
bones had been found,
he man he named as having been his
secretly left town and has
lot been seen there since. If he is
taught and brought to trial, in view of
he ghost story, there will be some in
rest to see if that headless trunk will
come into Martinsville court to face
he assassin and give testimony against
lin. In. the meantime Martinsville
waits for the st. Louis Rep.

THE: coUNTRY.

1t is in the country that the soul ex.
pands and grows great. The town de-
velops, cultivates, and amplifles all the
senses. but its tendency is to contract
that incomprehensible impulse of be-
ing we call soul. Out where the rug
ged hills point heavenward with ten
thousand sturdy evergreen figures;
where stand the woods in royal maies-
ty; where the brooks dance along and
clasp hands with the rivers, and rivers
sweep on with unimpeded flow to tho
bosom Of the sea; where rocks rise
like brawny giants, their nakedness
covered with mosses, aud drink In the
sunshine and the rain proudly, dis
daining to show how the elements
caress them slowly into dust; where
the birds sing their most jubilant
songs, and the wild flowers wear tht +
brightest hues; where the bees hun,
in lazy content from honey-cup to
honey-cup; where Nature rules su.
preme, and man becomes q pigmy-
there the true soul, unabashed and
undismayed, aspires to compass all
the profound mysteries of creation,
and reads eloquent lessons in every-
thing. Where villages dot the hill
sides and nestle in the valleys; where
the throbbing clangor of the church
bell is the loudest sound heard where
the fields TEEN with homely promise
of the coming harvest, and the voices
of men are drowned in the prattle of
are magnificent souls
hidden beneath the humblest exter-
iors. The hand that grasps the plow
and scatters the seed may be brown
and hard, but there is q whele heart
in its grasp; the face that has been
showed upon, and rained upon, and
blown upon is neither marred nor
but brave and gentle; it
shows in every lineament how ennob-
ing is close communion with nature.
The eye that sees the first tiny bud OF
he trees, the first blade Of pale green
yrass, the first frail blossom of the
woods, watches the covert approaches
If spring with a glow and luster that
We do not often see in the dissipated

Little cared their blue eyes dewy,
That they bloomed alone. unseen.
Asking not for brighter sunlight.
Summer sod or gardens green.
Shadows fast themselves are chasing.
Like school-children at their play;
Over meadows swiftly changing,
Leaden hues for spring array;

With its pleasures and its pain;
All! does not our youths best impulse
Pass like springtime's cloud lit rain.

THE VALUE OF EARLY RISING.

The Deutsche Reichsbote relates
that one of the most eminent of tho
German Field Marshals, whose name
it does not give, and who is never so
happy as when staying at his charming
country seat, is notorious for his zeal
for early rising. He sets his servants
and neighbors the good example of
turning out of bed every summer
morning at four o'clock, and makes q
point of visiting his stables, farms and
fields as soon as the hour Of daily
work begins, in order to see that eve-
ry one is duly at his post. One morn
ing his zeal impelled him to rise at
a. M, and when he went into the field
he was gratified at beholding q young
woman with q sickle In her hand, dill
igently working her very hardest. He
called her to him, and, pulling out his
purse, gave her thaler, adding q few
warm words of appreciation. When
His Excellency had returned home and
was sitting at breakfast he told his

and, after describing the dress and ap-
pearance of this pattern of womanly
industry, asked that functionary if he
knew her name. oh, yes replied he

The king of tramps has put in an ap-
pearance at Danbury. This remark
able parsonage answers to the namc
of John Wilson, and when the officers
found him upon the street he was
clothed in mass of rags that flutter-
ed from his body like a thousand
streamers. He was taken to the isiI
and searched. Nine pairs Of pants, q
dozen vests, and an equal number OF
coats were removed before the search
ers came upon the frame work of the
imam" himself. This mass of ragged
clothing weighed in the neighborhood
of 200 pounds, including the contents
of the numerous pockets. Upon search
ing these receptacles the officers were
astonished to find over a dozen pairs
of rusty scissors of all shapes and
sizes, broken nails, knives, chisels,
buckles, tin-cans, horse-shoes, and
every conceivable article of hard ware.
The accumulated mass of rubbish must
have been load to carry about DUR
ing his long time of wanderings, for
when taken from their restiDg-places
they appeared to have lain there for a
number of years. Each pocket con-
tanned also mass of rags, paper, card

all this rubbish, carefully concealed in
bits of papers, was the sum of $l47 in

More silver.

Little Rock Gazette, l2th.l
The silver sensation has by no means
abated, but persons whom experiences
have made inoredulous, are apt to re-
gard the matter lightly. There are.
OF course, a great many exaggerated
reports, just as there have been of all
silver or gold discoveries, The 'ac-
counts of recent Montgomery county
discoveries have not failed to attract
attention in adjoining States and many
people that have spent their lives in
mining are going to the scene of
mineral operations. A Mr.. Hardin,
just in from Mt. Ida, tells of Il
rather remarkable discovery. Sew
eral boys were bathing in a
creek, and one of them, in attempting
to climb up a bank, caught hold of a
shrub, The shrub gave away, pulled
out as though it was a weed. The
earth thus torn aside revealed some
thing, and as every man, woman and
child in that section is filled with
ideas Of silver, the boy again climbed
the bank, and examined the some
thing that he had Immediately re-
garded as a discovery 1t proved
to be a discovery Of the richest OF
silver ore, and the news spread rapid
" and people gathered around and
~pnearthed the almost pure metal. The
richest silver now known to the
worlds history was discovered in a
similar manner

Advice 10 Il Gentleman on the
Subject of Health.

Advice TO a Gentleman on ihe
Subject of Health.
Hills Manual Of Social and Business Forms.l
The first great secret of good health
is good habits, and the next is regu-
larity of habits. They are briefly
summed up in the following rules
l. Sleep.-Giye yourself the neces-
sary amount of sleep. Some men
require five hours Of the twenty four (;
others need eight. Avoid feather
beds. Sleep in a garment not worn
during the day. To maintain robust
health sleep with a person as healthy
as yourself or no one.
2. Dress.-In cold weather dress
warmly with undertaking Remove
muller, o%yercOat, oyershoes, etc.
when remaining any considerable
length Of time 10 a warm room. Keer
your feet warm and dry. Wash them
in warm wafer two or three times a
week. Wear warm stockings, large
boots and oyershoes when in the snow
or wet. Wear a light covering on the
head, always keeping it cool.
B.. Cleanliness .-Haye always a pint
or quart of water In your sleeping
room. In the morning, after washing
and wiping hands and face, then wet
with the hands every part of the
body. Cold water will not be dis
agreeable when applying it with the
bare hands. Wipe Immediately fol.
low by brisk rubbing over the body,
The whole operation need not take
over five minutes. The result of thil
wash is the blood is brought to the
surface of the skin, and made to cir
cuiate evenly throughout the body.
You have opened the pores of the
skin, allowing impurities of the body
to pass off, and have given yourself in
the operation a good vigorous morning
exercise. Pursue this habit regularly
and you will seldom take cold,
!. Imitation Of the Lpngs.-Fiye
minutes spent in the open air after
dressing, initiating the lungs by inhal
ing as full q breath as possible, and
pounding the breast during tho inla-
ton, will greatly enlarge the chest,
strengthen the lung power, and very
effectively ward off consumption.
8. Diet.-Ei inclined to be dyspep
te, ayoid mince pie, sausage, aud
other highly seasoned food. Beware
of eating too freely Of soups better
10 eat food dry enough to employ the
natatai saliva of the mouth in mois-
tepihg il. if Inclined to over,eat,
partake freely Of rice, cracked wheat
and other articles that are easily d.
gested. Eat freely Of ripe fruit. and
avoid excessive use Of meats. Bat at
regular hours and lightly near the
hour of going to bed. Eat slowly
thoroughly masticqte the food, Dc
