hangers of Dentistry.

Usually dental surgeons take great
care to keep their implements clean.
Sometimes, however, the patient is dis
gusted with the sight of more or less
ancient blood stains on forceps and
other implements which are to go in
his mouth. A correspondent in Maine
submits a local newspaper report Of an
accident to Bangor dentist which sug-
gests the query whether there may not
be danger of blood poisoning to the
zard of the patients life when the
surgeon is not careful with respect to
the cleanliness of his implements. In
the case reported the accidental prick
ing of finger with sharp instrument
used by the dentist while filling a tooth,
resulted in a serious case of pyRmia.
In this instance the dentist was the
sufferer. Suppose the poisoned tool
had pricked the gum of the patient ?
Whether the poison came from the
diseased tooth then being operated on,
or was due to some previous operation,
does not appear, and would not much
matter to patient who should be poi
soned in that way. In either case the
injury might be fatal, From moral
point of view, however, it would make q
great difference whether the patient
furnished the poison or the dentist II
goes without saying that untidiness in
the dentists chair is dangerous ns well
as disgusting, and should not be toler
ated Scientific American.

He Wanted 10 he Rendy for Him.

1t was his first appearance at church
and, in order that he might sit per-
fectly still and keep his little chatter
between bis teeth, he was told that a
big dog would bite hiD' if he didn't
keep silent. This little fellow cast
several glances up and down the aisle,
and at last just at the most interesting
part of the sermon, startled the congre-
cation by pip ing out, Mamma, where

Fashion Flashes.


The sleeve which is gathered at the
top and has rufie a. the wrist is
Spanish.
Sachets for the bureau drawers are now
made big enough to contain whole suit
of underclothing.
The founces of some French silk
gowns for summer are ravelled into
fringes instead ofbeing hemmed.
Evening shawls in rich colors come
so cheap this year that there seems to
be no excuse for wearing knit breakfast
shawls.
A cascade of lace and ribbon running
from the left shoulder to tho right side
of the skirt, and ending there with a
bow, makes a pretty trimming for a
child's dress.
Grape is no longer sacred to mourn
ing, and new style gown Of Grape,
made up over cloth, is seen at entertain
ments at which people in mourning
would not dare to appear.
Steel ornaments are the only kind fit
to wear with a steel.timmed dress, and
ladies are murmuring that there are no
steel bracelets to be had lace-pins, comb
and earrings being all that the manulac-
turers have provided as yet.
Civilization advances with rapid
strides in Japan, where since last New
Years day the fashion of wearing false
hair has spread fast, in consequence of a
lady who was presented to the Empres s
having put on chignonin in order to hide
badness.
There is no better recipe for making
yourself look ugly than by wearing
shoulder capes. Yet they are not all
equally ugly. If you want to be taken
for a descendant of the Witch of Endor,
the style called medieval will be
found most eflicacious for that purpose.
A novelty in bonnets is the exact
shape of a flour scoop. 1t turns straight
up at the back, the brim projecting over
the face. A mass Of shaded roses dec
CRATES the ffoNt, and the broad loops
which cover the crown and form che
strings are composed of Surah ribbon
shaded in the rose colors.
The Jersey is still worn. 1t is now OF
beads and is cut something like child's
apron without sleeves. In the back are
two whalebones covered with silk for
the lacing of the waist. The neck piece
is of beaded fringe, and the same trim
ming is on the lower part OF the basque.
This waist, when examined in the hand,
seems very odd, but when worn it is
most elegant, as it sets perfectly in to
the figure. The plainest waist can be
made handsome in a few seconds by
means Of this beaded garment. 1t re-
uuires no fitting, covers everything, and
is consequently most serviceable.
Among the novelties in dress orna'
ments are white or gray mother -of-pearl
rings, destined for the cordelieres
which lace over the waists. These rings
have two holes, like ordinary buttons
to fasten them against the dress. Be
fore the waist is laced it must be hooked
underneath by means of false band
Another new article is double fasten
ing OF mother r-of-pearl or passementerie
The waist closes down the front as i
does for the pearl rings, and the orna
ments are down the center Of the wais
and suits. White mother.o of pearl clasp
are charming over light.colored cos
tunes. A blue jacket just completed
has these fastenings all the way dow
the front On the sleeves, revers ant
pockets are the same ornaments

OUR COURT HOUSE SQUARE.

There is no town that we have
any knowledge of, that can boast
Of more handsome court house
than the one in Bastrop. And it is
situated On q beautiful plat of
ground which is shaded by magnifi-
cent oaks, whose thick umbrage af-
lords cool, dense shade over near
ly the entire square. Those giants
OF the forest are now clothed in the
verdure of merry spring, and we
can think of no more inviting spot
to spend a pleasant hour than be-
meath their broad and shady limbs.
But these are natural attractions
these trees are. How much more
attractive and handsome could the
square be made by a little expense
and labor. The square should be
laid off in walks; shrubbery, and
evergreens, and flowers, should be
planted and cultivated, the fence
around it should be painted or
white-washed, and the whole en-
closure should be beautified and
adorned with the gorgeous flowers of
our sunny cline.
The Sheriff informed us recently
that our Police Jury had, some
time ago, appropriated some funds |
for these improvements and the |
money is still in the treasury ready |
to be used for that purpose. Now
let our city fathers make an appro-
and let some of the ladies
IN town get up a BOOM" call for
the funds, supervise the work, and
our public square into
magnificent park. We suggest the
adies' because of their superior
jaste, and their determined will to
COMPLETE what they begin. Il

the measles is raging among the
negroes on the bayou. Several
were then down on his place, and
two had died. The disease ap-
pears to be very malignant, and
the least imprudence ON the part of
the patient jeopardizes and often
terminates his life. The measles
has been also in Mr.. G. II. John

and we agree on all things-except
