A CHOICE.

Hunting in Kilkenny still goes on,
though the wood-be fox hunters are
themselves hunted from covert to covert
by bands of land leaguers, armed with
sticks and slaves. Capt. Hartopp, the
master, being an importation from Eng
land; does net think it necessary to
give way. He is very popular among
all parties, and conciliatory, too,
when the occasion demands. A peas
ant was caught lashing a hound one
day; Capt. Hartopp went up to him
with one fist clenched and the other
hand open. "Chose which you will"
he said; and no one was surprised to
see the peasant shake the open hand in
preference to becoming better acgusint-
cd with the clenched tjst.

of speech.in others.
Do not always commence a converse
ton by allusion to the weather.
Do not, when narrating an incident,

the speaker to repeat what has been said
that you may understand.
Do not speak unexpectedly of per.
sonal appearances when anyone present
may have the same defects.
Do not use vulgar terms, slang phras-
es, words of double-meaning, or Ian
guage that will bring blush to any

Do not intersperse yoar conversation
with foreign words and high-sounding
terms. 1t shows affectation and will
drew ridicule upon You.
Do not carry on conversation with
another incompany about matters which
the general company know nothing of.
1t is almost as impolite as to whisper.

HINT TO MANAGERS.

Among the japanese n very thin kind
of paper il made, which possesses the
merits OF great strength and of perfect
noiselessncss when handled. 1t would
be a most delightful innovation II this
paper could be used for the programmes
which are furnished 10 the patrons of
theaters and concerts. The present aim
of the people who prepare programmes
seems TO be 10 procure the noisest and
most attlesome paper the market AZ
fords. Often il occurs that programme
is nearly As large as a newspaper need
be. In such cases 1t is but right that
the space not occupied by the record of
what may be expected to be sung or
performed should be filed with interest
ing matter, rs a compensation for the
trouble of handling so much paper and
of making all the noise it involves.
Instead of this the practice is to fill it
with advertisements and with few
more or less inferior jokes. All that
relates to what is going on is put i'll an
exceedingly small compass. The first
theater manager who will eschew the
present Objectionable plan of providing
an advertising medium instead of pro-
gramme will be justly entitled to the
thanks OF the community. The model
programme will be on the soft noiseless
paper, and contain only what is of inn
mediate interest TO those who hold it.

MAKING FALSE TEETH.

A reporter recently visited a factory
in this city where false teeth are made
by the million. In the process of man.
ufacture the slick and feldspar, in their
crude state, are submitted to red heat,
and then suddenly thrown into cold
water, the effect being to render them
more easily pulverized. Having been
ground very fine in water, and the Wa
ter evaporated, the two materials men,
toned are dried and siited. The kaolin
is washed free from impurities. These
materials, with feldspar, sponge,
platina, and flux in proper proportion
for the enamel, are mixed with water
and worked into masses resembling
putty. This done, the unbaked porce.
lain masses are ready for the molding
room. The molds are in two pieces,
and are made OF brass. one-half of the
teeth or sections being on either side.
The coloring materials are first placed
in the exact position and quantity re-
quired, and the body of the tooth and
the gum is inserted in Jumps correspond
ing to the size of the teeth. The molds
are then closed. and they are dried by
slow heat. When perfectly dry they
are taken out and sent to the trimmer
room. The trimmers remove imper-
fections, and send them in trays OF fire
clay to the furnace, where. having re.
NAMED for twenty minutes, they are

DETECTING METALLIC SUBSTANCES.

The effort of Professor Bell to locat e
the ball in President Garfield's body by
means Of an electric induction Dalance
is fresh in the memory Of all. Another
plan for detecting metallic substances
in the human body has been submitted
by Prof. Bell to the French acad my Of
sciences. The method is as follows /:
"a fine needle is inserted near where
the ball Tor other piece of metal) is sup
posed to be- The needle is connected
10y wire with one terminal ofa telephone,
while metallic plate laid on the skin
is connected with the other terminal.
When the point of the needle reaches
the ball, an electric current is set up be-
tween that and the metallic plate, pro-
ducing sound in the telephone. The
needle may be inserted in several places
with little pain, and the pain may be
prevented entirely by means of ether
spray. To test the method ball was
placed in piece of beef, when it was
proven that contact of the needle with
piece of bone produced n sound in the
telephone, while a very distinct sound
was heard whenever the ball was reach
ed"

Mr.. John L. Christy has removed to
Cortland, Trumbull county, and is en-

During last year he operated in the

entire satisfaction to those who en-

hedges employed by him is undoubt-
edly the best in use, and furnishes
fence at once cheap and complete. We
most cheerfully commend him to the
people of old Trumbull.
