MEDICINAL.
Oh,nyBack!

That's a common express
sion and has a world Of
meaning. How much suf-
icring is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
i.idncy disease, liver COM
l,laint, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.

HOW False Teeth are Made.

A reporter of the Star recently visited
factory in this city where false teeth
are made by the million. In the pro.
cess of manufacture the slick and field
spar in their crude state are submitted
to red heat and then suddenly thrown
into cold water, the effect being to rem
der them more easily pulverized. Hav-
ing been ground very fine in water and
the waite evaporated, the two materials
mentioned are dried and sifted. The
kaoln is washed free from impurities
These materials, with feldspar, sponge
platina, and Aux in proper proportion
for the enamel, are mixed with water
and worked into masses, resembling
putty. This done, the unbaked pro-
celain masses are ready for the mold
ing room. The moulds are in two
pieces, and are made of brass, one-hali
of the teeth or sections being on either
side. The coloring materials are first
placed in the exact position and guam
tity required, and the body of the tooth
and the gum is inserted in Jumps cor
responding to the size of the teeth. The
moulds are then closed, and they are
dried by slow heat. When perfectly
dry they are taken out and sent to the
trimmer's room. The trimmers re-
move imperfections, and send them in
trays of fire. clay to the furnace, where,
having remained for twenty minutes,
they are complete Wilmington Star.

Good and Brave Women.

At Pleasant Ridge, a little hamlet not
far from Cincinnati, three weeks ago, a
man was taken sick with smallpox land
before the nature of the disease was
known, communicated it to friend who
nursed him. The physician of the
place did his duty, but there was no
public provision for cases of the kind,
no nurses could be got, and the two men
lay alone in the house in deplorable
state. In this situation of affairs, two
women, wives of farmers, living in the
vicinity, left their homes, went to the
dreaded house, and took entire charge
of the patients. They are both over
so years of age, are named Mrs. Lang
don and Mrs. Crossley, and are suffic-
iently described by one of their neigh
bors who says that "they are good wo-
men who visit the sick" A third wo-
man, Mrs. Dunreth, insisted upon
sharing the work for one day, in spite
of all protests, and, as she unluckily
took the disease, Mrs. Langdon and Mrs.
Crossley had a third patient on their
hands. Mrs. Dunreth died, and the 9TH
er women, getting the sexton to dig a
grave, buried her with their own hands
in the night. The two men are recov-
erlng, and the two women who delibe-
rately risked their lives and cared for
loathsome sick-rooms day after day that
the sufferers might have human care
and the community be safe, are un-
hurt.

Failures.

New YORK, Feb. 3.-R. G. Dion q
Co., of the mercantile agency, report
the failures throughout the country for
the last seven days, at LAG, of which
the eastern states furnish IA, the west
ern states 35, the southern states 40, the
middle states 80, and the Pacific coast
and territories IL, and New York city
7. While the failures are diminishing
in number as compared with previous
weeks, there are several for very large
amounts in various parts of the coun-
try. A number Of these are deliberate
attempts of fraud on creditors, as indi-
Gated by preferences given to friends
The necessity for national bankrupt
law was never better shown than in
several cases which have occurred this
week. One trader cody prefers his
sister-in-law for $40, 900, to satisfy his
conscience, having nothing whatever
for his other creditors, to whom he
owes $4,000 or 100000.

Women's Presence of Mind.

Women sometimes have great pres
ence of mind. A jailor's wife saw that
a prisoner had got between her husband
and the unlocked door, and was going
for it like Scotch terrier for q rat
hole. She knew she hadn't the strength
to seize and hold him, and besides he
had a knife, so she didn't try. But she
stepped into side corridor near the
head of a flight of stairs that the pris-
oner had got to descend, yanked of
her hoopskirt, and, as he passed, flung it
before him. The way he turned hand
springs and somersaults down those
stairs was a caution to cats, and his
frantic struggles after he reached the
bottom would have attracted folks
from dog fight. When the jailor came
up, the fellow had got himself so en-
tangled that he was absolutely helpless,
was doubled up in terribly uncomfort-
able ways, and was choking to death,
and SO completely wound up that the
TAILOR had to cut him out with a hatch
ct, and it took half yard of court
plaster and pint of arnica to make
him at all comfortable.

He surrendered his tools. and accompa-
MED the sheriff of Whitney county te
