A Word to Young Men.

Of all the evils prevalent among young
men, we know none more blighting in
its moral effects than to speak lightly
of the virtue of woman. Nor is there
anything in which young men are SO
| thoroughly mistaken, as to the low esti-
mate they form Of the integrity of
woman-n0t of their own mothers and
sisters. AS a rule, no person who sur
renders to this debasing habit is to be
integrity of character. Plain words
should be spoken on this point, for the
evil is general one, and deep-rootcd.
If young men are sometimes thrown
into the society of thoughtless or de-
PRAYED women, they have no more right
to measure other women by these, than
they would have to estimate the char
acter of honest and respectable citizens
by the department of crime in our police
courts.
Let our young men remember that
their chef happiness depends in utter
faith in woman. No worldly wisdom,
no miSanthropic philosophy can cover
or weaken this fundamental truth. 1t
stands like a record of God itself, for it
isnothing less than this-and should
put an everlasting seal upon lips that
are won't to speak disparagingly OF the
Perfect Woman.
PLANTING A TooTH.-A Chicago
dentist has recently transferred a
grinder from the mouth of a pretty
young lady to the corresponding oritice
of IL stupid, h0rrid old man of middle
age This man was unwilling to wear
Il plate to support single tooth, and the
dentist suggested the transplanting of
molar from living subject. Five
weeks afterwards there presented her
self young lady whose teeth were too
many for her jaw. She could eat better
than she could talk. One of her teeth
were removed, placed in 81 ycerine and
kept at blood heat until the other
patient could be summoned, and then it
was transferred to his jaw and tied to
the adjacent teeth. By the third day
the doctor was satisfied, from the lack |
of inflammation and freedom from pain,
that the operation would be successful.
On the ninth day the ligatures were
removed, and on the fourteenth the
tooth was quite firm; from that time
on it continued to grow tirmer in its
attachment to the jaw until at the end
of six weeks it was as useful as it's
In color and size the
matching was nearly perfect. The
only difference between the transplanted
tooth and the original was in the shape
of the roots; that of the latter was
single, while the former had a double
root but the socket could hardly have
been better tilled.-[New York Tribune.
A RUN OF BAD LUCK.-This story is
told of man who came over from
and fell among thieves in Au-
gusta. He had about $500 when he
struck the town, and the first thing he
did was to lean against hogging faro
game. He played ully-mostly on
'cases'-and it was nearly morning
when he quit. He had one popularity
however, which was fatal. He always
played the case when the last turn was
a cat-hop. The dealer was a genial gen.
Jleman, and being "onto the SYSTEM"
the stranger every deal.
Every time the case was played it came
up loser. At last the Edgeheld IMAM
was broke, and as he was an entire
strangerin the town, he borrowed fifty
cents of the dealer to get a lunch. He
vent to restaurant and called for
;hree soft boiled eggs. Two of the eggs
we're transferred from the shells to the
;umbler. The third was cracked and
:ound to be bad, but not before it had
slipped in with the others. With
ook of hungry dispair the Edgefeld
nan settled back in his chair, and roar
ID, Another cat-hop by jingo! And
he case on top, as usual!'
