A Dentist Tells a Queer Story,

4From the New York Morning Journal.I
"Mhy," said a prominent dentist to a
Journal reporter, "a beautiful young
lady came to me and insisted on having
her really fine teeth pulled out and false
ones put in their place. Iprotested that
it would be foolish, silly, senseless; but
she said no, she would have them out,
and if I would not do it some other den
fist would. M y teeth are not fashion
able she said, 'they are too long, and
short little broad teeth like corn kernels
are all the fashion now, and no one ad-
nires my mouth, and will have them. ,
So [ made her the teeth, and they cost
her just $500. She couldn't see anyone
for two weeks after pulled out her own.
They were the upper ones only, and I
made them up with gold plates for a
handsome young fellow who had his own
teeth knocked out in base ball game.
The worst of it is that he is in love with
this very girl whose teeth he wears, and
she knows they are hers. just pond er
on that"

CURIOUS, USEFUL AND SCIENTIFIC
INsTAHT. CESSATION.

One CT the most ingenious adaptations
of electricity, recently introduced is
that by which machinery when in mo-
ton may be instantly stopped-as in.the
case of an engine. 4 wire rope, ooiled
around the stem of the throttle valve of
the engine, carries weight which is
held IN place by a rest, and the whole
arrangements such that the passing OF
the electric current along wire releases
this rest and causes the weight TO fol-.
The tension thus thrown upon the wire
rope acts upon the throttle valve, outs
off the supply of steam and consequently
stops the machinery. Buttons, with wire
connections, are placed in different parts
OF the works, and on pressing any Of
these the passage of an electric current
acts as above mentioned. In any fac
tory these electric buttons can be placed
III every room, as may be required.
Should any one happen to be caught by
the machinery, the simple pressing Of
a button in the most distant part of the
factory will quickly stop the whole.

Funny Mistake.
[Rsom the st. Louis Republican.

la!s0m the st. Louis Republican,
Saturday, while a couple from the
country were at the marriage-license
counter of the recorders Office apply
ing for q marriage license, an insurance
agent s5rolled into the Office. After the
necessary document had been delivered
and the couple had left, the agent asked
the clerk who they were. He was in
formed that they had stated that they
were from Crystal City, Ne. Remark
ing that they ought to be insured, the
agent hurried after them. Catching up
With the cOupl8.near the ladies' entrance
to the Laclede Hotel, with that urbanlty
and enterprise which characterizes the
fraternity, he said: excuse me sir,
but you are Just about to be married.
don't you think it would be wise and
generous thing to do to insure
your life for tho benefit of
your faiu lady? Read this
!handing him circular.) In amoment,
In the twitlkling of an eye, you may be
called hence, with beautiful and loving
bride left to the cold charities of an un-
feeling world. Now, the Economical
D1v1dend-Bonanza- Returning Life In
surance Company will take from you all
rors, and life will"
Hold on, stranger" said the rural
citizen. "You said was about to marry.
L am married. Z have just got married
over there at the courthouse"
Excuse me, said the affable agent Of
the Bonanza, "but was standing by
you when you got the license just now.
II you are already married, iwhat did you
want the license for %
Well, see here. I just came up to
the city with my sweetheart, and went
over to the courthouse and got mar
ried, and I've got the paper in my pocket.
Here it is.
II then dawned upon the mind of the
agent that the Crystal City citizens were
under the impression that the obtaining
OF the license was all that was needed to
start matrimonial career. He read the
license and explained to them that a little
further ceremony was necessary. The
young lady said she thought it was funny,
ana had never seen any marriage like it
before. She had heard it was a new law.
and she thought it was the way they got
married under it In the city. With this
the agent took them over to Justice
Taffee, who tied the knot in the usual
orthodox manner, and to the satisfaction
of the couple and the insurance agent.
Upon being asked if he insured them. the
agent said: "No, but I would have if
he had had any money"
The marriage license clerk says that
frequently parties apply to him under
the impression that the issuance of the
license makes them husband and wife.
This may account for the large number
of marriage certificates not returned to
| the recorder.

Sending a Dictionary,
[From the New York World. !

NOAAA Wiz
A man, a little top-heavy, rushed
into Sixth Avenue telegraph Office,
seized telegraph blank and stub
pen with ball of dried ink on the end,
and by propping himself against the
counter, managedto write the following:
"Kate, / won't be home till morning.
HARRY"
What'u that cost ?" said the man,
handing the message, through the port
hole to the manipulation of electricity.
"Let me see. Seven words-ffteen
cents. Anything not exceeding ten will
cost you fifteen cents to any address In
the city," answered the operator.
"I'm bound to have the worth of my
money out of you corporations, then, :"
said the man, bracing himself against
the counter as he traced on blank this
clear message.
''Incomprehensibility, manufactures,
transcendentalism, Constantinople, con-
cavo-convex. Massachusetts, assassina-
ton, Pennsylvania, imperturbability,
philoprogenitiveness.
'There, string that on your wire and
send her at 2:40 gait" said the man,
with a look of vengeance in his eye.
The operator coUnted the words, but
volunteered the information that there
was no sense in the message.
ST know there's no sense in it, but
Kate'n understand it all the same; she'll
know I'm on a drunk anyway when I
send message at this hour, whether it s
sense or not. I make 'em long on pur-
pose to break the back of your darned
machine. Shovel 'em IN and start the
crank. I'm in for good time. Never
mind the expense; here's your fifteen
cents" And the man ran out and hailed
a passing cab.

HOT WATER AS A BEVERAGE.

A physician writes to the World Of
Science some very interesting things re-
garding what to drink. The habit of
drinking some tea or black coffee directly
after dinner is especially bad, and GER
tainly interferes with digestion. At
breakfast time man has all his sleep in
him, and surely it is then unscientifc
to infict upon his system strong tea or
coffee. At tea-time tea or coffee may well
be INDUCED in moderately. The bulk
Of the days work is done; the body not
only wants rinsing out, but fatigue is
felt, which may well be counteracted by
the use of mild stimulants such as tea,
and bedtime is not so near that sleep is
thereby interfered with. Most nations
that drink coffee largely get a sallow
skin, and [ am inclined to think that the
carbonaceous matter of the roasted
coffee, when SO largely and frequently
taken, may perhaps have something to
do with this. For working people
who are not corpulent I should suggest
the thick-fake cocoa as the healthiest and
most nutritious breakfast beverage. For
those who do not want fattening drinks,
and who often cannot digest cocoa, [
should say drink hot water at break
fast. Those who dine late and make their
dinner their main meal, need dilutent
drink an hour or two afterward; and if
they drink tea it keeps them awake or
makes them irritable and nervous. I
find for myself that dining so idly as I
am obliged to do when / have done my
work, 7:30 P. NJ, and often needing to
work from to IL, tumbler of hot
water brought into my study or labora-
tory is the best and most wholesome drink,
and after few evenings it will be as
much relished as the usual draught of
tea. The hot water assists to complete
the digestion of residual food, it acts
upon the kidneys and rinses out the effete
matters, and thus will be found to wake
up one sufficiently, and neither to injure
the stomach nor to keep the brain awake
after bedtime. In cold weather warm
water is by far the best drink at dinner
time, and IN hot weather draught of
warm water is far wholesomer and more
cooling than cold or iced water.

To what extent the consonant r. has
been lost in actual speech is an import
ant question Of English rhilology. It
has been investigated by several obBerv-
ers, among whom Mr.. Ellis, of the

gulshed place. Their researches have
exploded the common notion that this
sin OF omission besets none but london
ers. 1t prevails throughout the whole
| east coast of England, ,, and most of all
among the cultivated classes of society.
As regards American habits of speech.
we have similar testimony from Prof.
Whitney. In my natural and unre-
generate state, he says namely, be-
fore L had begun to. school my utter.
ance to conform with photographed end
orthoepical rule-I never pronounced at
all an y that was not followed by vowel:
fear that l hardly do SO now, except
when l am thinking of it And Ihave
taught French and German pronunci-
alton to pupils enough, from all parts of
the country, to be convinced that this
absence of utEerance and of trill when
uttered is very general characteristic
OF American pronunciation. What
Prof. Whitney says here is in perfect
conformity with the practice of Ameri-
can poets, even of the rank of Poe,
Whittier, and Longfellow, who rhyme
UistG and sister, or morn and LaaUn,
without remorse.
Those who, like myself, always pro-
nounce an even in iron, can only utter
an unavailing protest against this pro-
cess OF decay, which has confounded

Leah with Lear, etc. The rising gener-

A Human Locomotive Whistle.
[From the London Life, !

.
Morere, the celebrated tenor, has just
become incurably mad, and has been
shut up in the private lunatic asylum
of the famous DR.. Legrand du Soulle.
This singer possessed such extremely
powerful lungs that he could whistle
with as much force and intensity as a
railway engine, and he practiced this
peculiar art 80 often that it became q
mania with him. On several occasions
while walking on the boulevards, he let
off steam IN this fashion to the great ter
ror OF all nervous passers-by, and even
succeeded in making the Partisan cab
horses restive-a featwhich most people
who know the caliber of those wonder
full animals would deem an impossible
ty. In one instance he was arrested and
taken to a police court, where he was
fined and severely reprim anded for thus
disturbing the public peace. One eve
ming when Morere was singing in
Faust F." at the Grand Opera, his voice
was In such bad form that the gallery
began to hiss, and continued to do so
until the disturbance became general.
On this the tenor leaped down into the
orchestra and shouted out, "Since you
have begun to hiss, let me tell you that
you don't understand the art in the
least" Thereupon he treated them to
his loudest and most prolonged whistle,
and the Parisians, always good-natured,
forgave him his false notes and cheered
him to the echo. I believe that the IN
fortunate singers present mania is that
he exists for the purpose not only of
SURPRISING the shrek of a railway train
but even the bells of Notre Dame.

THE. EFFECTS OF NOISE.

Society attthe College of Physicians and
Surgeons,inT Twenty third Street, DIR. d.
B. st. John, R0Osa read paper on The
Effects of Noise upon Healthy and
Diseased. Ears" He related several
curious instances of persons whose hear
ing WIS better in the midst of noise than
at any other time. In one case a physi-
clan who was compelled to give up his
practice on account of bad hearing,
found that he could hear. very well in
the noise of moving trains and procured
on appointments mail agent. Authori-
ties differ widely as to the causes of this
defect, but DIR. Roosa believed that it
never occurred except in diseases of the
m1ddle-ear and the majority Of deaf per-
sons were afflicted with this disease.
Others were made deaf by noises and suf-
fereda lesion Of theacoustic nerve caused
by great noises. These persons hear bet
ter away from the noise than in it and in
fact require great quiet around them to
hear well. Boiler makers are particular
" liable to this form of deafness which
IS believed to be in the tympanic cavity
and is called f' boiler- makers deafness. y
DR.. Roosa illustrated the use and value
of the tuning-fork in locating ear
diseases, particularly in diferentiasing
between diseases of the inner and OF the
outer ear.-N. Y. World.

TEST FOR NITRO GLYCBRINE,

1t Is des1rabletO possess ready means
OF ascertaining If suspected fluid be
nltro-gl ycerine or not. There are many
Oily-looking, yellowish- colored, inodor-
Gus fluids with which it might be con-
COMPOUNDED, but nitre-glycorine alone
produces the effects on the system am
about to describe. If we put on our
tongue not more than one-tenth of a
drop we observe after one minute more
or less throbbing in the head, especially
the temples, aggravated by considerable
pain on shaking the head, feeling of
construction In the neck, as though a
band were tied tightly around it, and a
quIckened action Of the heart, the pulse
rising to 100 and even 120 per minute.
These effects soon go off and leave no
bad results. We may apply the nitro
glycerine to the tongue by moistening
the top of the finger with it, and so con-
vey small quantity to the mouth, or if
we desire greater accuracy we may mix
together ten drops of nitro ,glycerine
with ninety drops of spirits of wine,
brandy or whisky Git is insoluble in
water, or nearly sO). One drop of this
applied to the tongue gives us the dose
of one-tenth of a drop Of nitro-glycerine.
No other substance produces the same
effects. Nitro -glycerine was introduced
into medicine under the name of glonoine
in 1849 by the late DR.. Herring, of Phil
adelphia. In 1853 DR.. Dudgeon, of
London, published in a medical
periodical a series of experiments
with it, having for their object to
determine its curative powers. Since
that time it has been frequently en-
ployed in medical practice. London

PecuIiarities of the German Promoter

A Vienna correspondent of the Phila-
delpbia Times, who has accompanied
Edwin Booth during his European tour,
writes: Il do not believe that German
actors ever learn their parts. Mr.. Booth
says they do not, and it will hardly be
denied that he has had experience.
They attend rehearsals only to learn the
business as for the words they rely
wholly on their friend the prompter
That useful functionary takes his place
in the little box in the middle of the
stage by the footlights, and when the
actors are on they listen with all their
ears to that which he is reading, and
they repeat the lines after nina little
louder, perhaps, but not much. Your
good German prompter will not permit
his more or less melodious gut urals to
be squelched under a wooden hood, and
III these theaters we as a rule get our
moneys worth In the matter of utterance
if not of excellence. The prompter reads
right straight along in q go-as-you-
please, with now and then a squirt of
rising reflection when he discovers some
one on the stage trying to get past him.
When the prompter reached tie cue he
used to stop to give the American thun-
der a chance to spend itself. Under the
English lines in the prompt book were
rows of figures; these assisted the
prompter to keep track of the metre
He was thus enabled to know when Booth
had spoken his part, and then the verbal
race aforementioned was renewed.
