AN ACHlENMEN
THE INCIDH........s....a -,
S. f. CaN.
Dr Younger, of .
successfully accomplished an expert
ment in dental surgery that is not
only interesting but Important. For
many years the experiment OF keep
ing alive the pcriostoum Of Il tooth
by inserting into it the comb of Il
cock soon after extraction has been
tried with success. The poriostcum
is the layer of tissue surrounding the
bone and through which the bone re-
ceivcs its noTiShment When u
healthy tooth, before vitality is cx-
tinct, is imbedded in the comb of Il
cock, it is there bathed in healthy
blood, and in the majority of cases
the vitality of its TISSUES is maintain
ed, natural adhesions take place and
the tooth is soon growing III its new
resting place. Some time ago Dr.
Younger thought that this practice
might be made use of in dentistry.
Sometimes teeth are transplanted
from one person to another, but 4
large number of good teeth are lost
for this purpose, as the trausplanting
has to be done within q short time
after extraction. When, therefore. a
person is willing to have a tooth
transplanted TO his jaw, it is difficult
to find tooth to transplant. BY
transplanting to the comb of a cock
good and healthy teeth may be pre-
served ready for instant use. DR.,
Younger determed to try the expert
ment, and over two weeks ago ex-
tracted from the overcrowded jaw of
young lady bicuspid tooth, which
was transplanted to the comb of a
cock. There it throve for ten days.
about week ago a young gentleman
had bicuspid extracted and wished
to have one inserted in its place. The
young lady's tooth was brought into
requisition, and five or six days ago
the cock was brought into the oper-
ating-room and was placed under the
influence of of chloroform. The
tooth was taken out and transplanted
to the jaw of the young man, where
it is now growing finely. Adhesions
have taken place, and the experiment
has, therefore, proved successful. 1t
is the first operation OF the kind that
has ever been made. Before the
tooth was transplanted the nerves
and pulp were removed, as, had they
remained, they would have decayed,
producing a boil. There will, there
fore, be no danger of toothache from
that tooth of the young lady that is
now bright ornament in the lower
jaw of the young man.

the State Department became satisfied
that such was the case, and decided 10

In the discussion today Senator Vest
and Morgan defended. The former op-
posed the treaty, which proposed to set
Il aside. The matter will be taken up
arain at the next executive session.
The action of the Senate committee
on the case is regarded as averse. The
friends of Olmstead are much dlsap-
pointed at the turn, as they were con-
fident he would be confirmed. His
name appears in the new directory as
one of the district commissioners.
In the Senate today Comacho, late
Minister to France, said when he en-
tered the miuistery the debit account of
the budget was $245,0OO,000, and the
credit Sl94,OOO,000. On quitting the
Office, he left the budget surplus Of
S6OO,OOO, besides the payment of inter
est on the public debt. He said he was
secured for the future, and the budget
would balance if his successor, Cuesta,
would display great vigor in the collec-
ton OF taxes.

A Man of Years.
DEATH OF THE OLDEST HUMAN BEING IN
THE WORLD.

San Diego Sun: "Auero Largo"
or Long Hide" according to the
English derivation of the Spanish
word, burned himself to death at the
Real del Castillo, Lower California,
on Thursday night, Dec. II. For
some time past the old Indian has
been feeble and unable to walk. Dur
ing the heavy rains that fell in that
region, the old man sought refuge in
hut. Last week he crawled up to
the house Of Senor Francisco Parma
and told him he was very hungry.
The latter gave him good dinner,
besides furnishing provisions for fu-
ture emergencies, and then instructed
the other Indians at the rancheria to
care for him. They replied that they
had always done 50, as they enter
tanned unusual reverence for the Old
man on account of his age. Thurs
day. the day in question, was a cold
day in lower California. and Long
Hide" was given an extra blanket by
his dusy friends. This he soon tore
into strips, put them on fire, and
soon his ''tepee' or brush house was
AL ablaze. When this had been ac-
complished, despair for the moment
seeming to seize him, he plunged
headlong into the burning mass.
4 stout young Indian near by
4iezed him and tried to drag him out
Of danger, but the old man grabbed a
stake iu the ground near by, held
himself in the fire, and before other
held could come. was literally roasted

whether she will get away this week, as
the storm will prevent schooners loaded

& New YORK, Jan 6.-When Simon
sCameron was in the city few days ago
he called on Dana, editor of the Sun,
md together they planned an extensive
pleasure trip. They leave here for San
Francisco on the 18th of next month, in
Especial palace car, which they have
already engaged. Each gentleman will
be accompanied by his own cook. They
propose to have very comfortable and
enjoyable time. They probably will be
away from home about two months.
Dana is still strong, active man, and
Cameron, some twenty years the senior

at his age; undertake this railroad jaunt
OF 6UU0 or 1880 miles.

proycments been so numerous, so

JUNCTION Of id alism and harmony in defiance |
of the evidence Of palpable facts about us
must be wrong. Hence the celebration oil
dscords which is called liberalism. Now, so
far as this promotes sincerity and simplicity
in art, it is commendable, and liberalism is
one of the IA, orite utensils of comic writers
and satrists. But the acuteness OF satrists is
not always balanced by their taste. They do
not know when to stop. Having established a
reputation TO- calling spade spade, they try
to maintain II by calling carved goblet by
Cellini pewter mug. The ridicule OF what's
ridiculous, developing by natural selection
into ridicule of what is not ridiculous, and
eliminating in ridicule for ridicule's sake, has
resulted not so much in pruning folly, which
we have always with us, no matter what we
do, as in stunting and chopping down the
wholesome end spontant GUS growth of beauty
and inspiration. Writers OF genius and refine
ment are getting to be afraid to say their souls
are their own or to ''let on" that they have
any souls at all. They might be accused Of
"fne feelings or "sentimentality" They be-
gin to distrustth the generous glow that accom-
panies free and genial composition. With
the sensitiveness inseparable from the artistic
temperament, they shrink back in studied
self-conscious attitude, address us in graceful
and fastidious but f.igd phrases and cultivate
the air of having divorced themselves from all
sympathy with their own stories.
Now, it may be question whether an
author should gossip about his dramatis per
soma as freely as Fielding and Thackeray do,
but, be that as it may, worse peril turks on
the other side. For. to make the comment
in novel colorless or critical is not the SAME
thing as to have no comment at all. Instead
of permitting emotion or sentiment Of the
scene to have its unbiased effect a discord il
constantly obtruded between the positive line!
Of the story and the neutral tint of the re
marks, and the writer, instead of rendering
himself invisible, becomes inveterately con
spicuous The writer who truly forgets him

the writer who so sensitively attunes himsel
to the dominant chord of his story that
though the sense of his words be taken, hi
y voice is not heard. Moreover, the writer
