Mrs. ISattlo's opinion on Whilst.

"a clear fire, a clean hearth, and the RI
gor Of tho game" This was tho celebrated
wish of old Sarah Battle. who, next to her
devotlons, loved good game OF whist
She was none OF your l,kcwnrm gamcslcrs

objection to take Il hand, If you want one to
make up Il rubber, who affirm that they
have no pleasure IN winning; that they like
TO win one game and lose another; thatthey
can while away an hour very agrccably at
card. table, but arc Indifferent whether
they play or not; and will desire IN advcr-
sary who has slipped wrong card to take
it up and play another. These suifcra-
bic triilcrs are the curse Of table. One OF
these flint, will spoil whole POI. Of such
1t may be SAID that they do not play at
cards, but only play at playing at them.
Sarah Bnttle was none OF that breed. She
dctested, as do, from her heart and soul,
and would not, save upon striking cmcr-
gcncy, willingly seat herself at the same
table with them. She loved q thorough.
paced partner, determined enemy. She
took and gave no CONCESSIONS. She hated
favors She never made revoken nor ever
passed it over in her adversary without cn-
acting the utmost forfeiture. She fought Il

Artificial Ieett.

Some of your readers may be glad to
know how ill-fitting artificial teeth may be
made to fit perfectly with little trouble or
cost. Even when quite perfect in the first
instance they often cease to tit owing to
absorption and loss of substance in the
gums, which takes place after extraction.
1t sometimes takes two years before the
gums acquire their permanent shape or
hardness. Get some thick gutta-pcrCha
(the hardest kind, some iS too sofD, cut
two strips about two inches long, and say
half an inch wide. The width will depend
on the amount of material required, to be
asccrtaincd by experimental trial. Place
them in very hot water until quite plastic

Conc each sidc) in the hollow into which
the gums fit; place them immediately in
the mouth and close the teeth steadily and
quickly to the natural position, and then
avoid further pressure until the gutta-percha
is quite hard, which will be in four or five
hours. If properly done the gutta percha
will fall down owe, the outer edge Of the

finger over it and placing 1t in tho mouth.
In order to adjust as above, the gutta.
percha can be separated from the set. The
upper set is very easily done; the lower
takes & little more care. Have the lower
set quito dry, and on taking the gutta. per

Transportation Of Bone.

At q recent meeting of the Royal So
ciety an account was given by DIR. Mac.
Even Of q very remarkable case of inter.
human osseous transplantation, no pre-
vious successful instance being recorded.
In 1878 child of three years was ad-
mitted into the Infirmary for necrosis Of
the right humerus, the shaft of which
was already separated from its head at
the epiphyseal junction. Fifteen months
after the neorosed portion had been re-
moved there had been no bone forma-
ton of any account, and over two-thirds
of the shaft was wanting. A first trans
plant of bone was then performed. In
making the sulcus for reception of the
graft reliance had to be placed on ana
tomical relations as to correct positions,
as there was no trace of periosteum or
fibrous structure to indicate the former
location of the bone. Portions of hu-
man bone were transplanted on three
different occasions, the gratis being OBJ
tanned from patients affected with ante
rior tibial curves from which wedges of
bone had to be removed for the purpose
of Strengthening their limbs. These
osseous wedges were each divided into
many small pieces which were immedi-
ately placed in the sulcus in the boy g
arm. The fragments united together as
well as adhered to the head of humerus
above and to the condyles below, ulti-
mately forming solid rod only half an
inch shorter than the humerus ON the
opposite or left side. This transplanta-
ton of bone converted a useless arm into
Q thoroughly useful one. Great stress
was laid by the operation upon the sub
division of the transplanted bone into
fragments, as therefore greater nourish-
ment is able to be conveyed by the sur
rounding flesh to the osseous formation.
The conclusions arrived at are that
transplanted bone is capable of living
and growing, and that such transplants
are capable of being put to practical
uses beneficial to mankind, but that to
insure success the transportation must
be conducted antiseptioally London

broidered in the same way across the
widths for fronts of skirts, and the en-

those two or three inches wide to very

Pierced Through the Body by a Drill.

Patrick Mulligan, who has been in the
hospital for about three weeks, was yes.
terday sufficiently recovered from his
injuries to appear on the street, and is
confident that within few days he will
be able to resume work in the mine. No
other man in Montana can say that an
sight-pound two-foot inch drill ever
passed through his body. Not one man
In million could experience the sensa-
tion and live to tell about it. Mr.. Null
hgan sets a great value upon the drill,
and proposes to keep it as memento.
Soon after the accident occurred, and
when he first knew there was possibil-
ity of saving his life, he expressed the
somewhat superstitious belief that If the
drill were polished and preserved he
would ultimately recover, To CRAFTY
the humor, the boys of the mine have
every day devoted o little time to the
polishing of the drill, and it is now as
bright and glistening as new silver
dollar, and Mulligan Is well.-Butts
