Teeth are living" SO long as the mem
brane covering the roots has any vital
ity. 1t has been problem of great in
terest to the dentists throughout Amer
lea to devise some means by which
sound extracted teeth cozld not be kept
alive indefinitely, until they should be
needed, and to San Francisco dentist
belongs the honor of solving the prob
lem. DR.. ". J. Younger, says the Call,
has been conducting series of expert
ments, which have resulted in the dis
covery of means of preserving the
life of the extracted tooth. It is moth
ing more or less than grating" it as
soon as it is drawn, upon the engorged
comb of a healthy rooster, and leaving it
there properly secured until it is wanted.
Then it is cut away, the cock being
placed under the influence of choloro-
form, washed, and everything removed
down to the membrane, and placed in
the freshly-made cavity where it is
needed. A representative of the Call
was permitted recently to examine the
mouth of gentleman in which there
was tooth that had been planted there
wesk or so before, and which was ap-
parently as firm as those which had al
ways been there. It had been kept
-alive on cocks comb for ten days,
and had been taken from the mouth of
a young lady, whose looks were beue-
fitted by its removal.

Drunkards' Wives.


AL
A whole sermon was preached in very
few words the other day, by the su-
preme court of Iowa, in rendering an
adverse decision in suit for divorce, in
which the wife claimed separation on
the ground that her husband was con-
frmed drunkard. The evidence showed
that the woman knew of the mans in
temperate habits before she married
him, and the court used the following
language: "You voluntarily chose q
drunkard for husband, and you should
discharge the duties of d1unkadrs'
wife. His failure to keep the pledge of
reformation, made before marriage,
does not justify you in deserting him.
Having knowingly married a drunkard,
you must make yourself content with
the sacred relationship" These words
are better than usually fall from the
bench. They betray no sympathy with
the unfortunate plaintiff. They do not
prate about the duty of society to pro-
tect its weak-minded members from the
consequences of their own acts, or of
the chivalrous obligations of the hus.
band to cherish and protect the wife,
There is no romantic sentiment in the
breast of this Iowa court, but lots of
good, hard sense in its head. 1t evident
ly thinks that it sits not to bend the
law in the way to make it as easy as pos
sible to the individual suitor, but to
make it an instrument for the general
good of society. Had the court taken
the sentimental view of the case and al
lowed the divorce it would have rem
dered the lot of one poor woman easier,
but it would have lost the opportunity
to utter warning that ought to arrest
the attention of tens of thousands of
other women who are on the verge of
committing the same folly of marrying
Incorporate men. A woman who Sc
lects to become drunkard's wife, the
court says, assumes the responsibility
for the suffering which she invites, and
must not appeal to the law for relief.
This is stern but wholesome rule. A
few women may heed it and be saved
from the miseries of drnnkard's wife,
but it needs many Judicial reiterations
of this sentence, by other courts as un-
emotional as that of Iowa, before the
majority of young women are made to
understand that to voluntarily become
a drunkard's wife is a contract as bind
ing az any other

Tho Electoral Vote.
The following is the electoral vote of
the different states:
Points About Patents.

washington ID. C.> Dispatch to the New York Sun. !,
The belief of some persons that sugar
in paying quantities can be got from
cornstalks as well as from sorghum re-
calls the fact that the State of Connect
icut gave to Edward Hinman patent
for making molasses from cornstalks in
October, 1717, or nearly 167 years ago.
Senator Plat, who introduced this state
ment into recent speech, cited some
other curious old Connecticut patents,
showing that the spirit of invention
was rife there at an early date. There
were no devices in the list for manufact-
uring wooden nutmegs, but in 1888 a
patent was given to Benjamin Hanks
for "a clock which will wind itself up"
Another interesting point that may
be derived from Mr.. Platt's tables is.
that while in 1890 there were but three
patents issued by the United States
government, in 1892 but eleven, and in
1875 but twelve, the issue for year be-
fore last was IS, 1876, and for last year it
was 81, 1856. at certain epochs there
have been remarkable Jumps in the an
nual list. Thus in 1854 the number of
new patents rose to 1859 from only S46
for the previous year, and the gain was
held and continued. So in 1856 the
new issues were 1874, but the follow
ing year the number bounded to 12,3O1.
Very oddly it never afterward varied q
600 up or down during fourteen years
the new issues for 1880 being 1926
But the next year the number suddenly
started forward to 15,54S, and there
have since been steady and great gains
II the reissues and the designs Of last
year should be added to the new pat
ents the aggregate would be 22,3s3.

TIE FAITH CURE,

The sacrifice of his little daughter by
Freeman, the Massachusetts fanatic who
believed himself commissioned to net
as Abraham's ape, hardly furnished an
example OF more barbarous fanaticism
than that of Rev. Clement T. Blanchett
u: D., who refused to call surgeon to
set the broken arm of his 6-year.old
daughter, because he and his wife. who
had become infatuated with the doc.
trine OF Rev. Mr.. Sloan, the Stamford
enthusiast, believed the "faith cureo
would be efectual. Bishop Henry g.
Potter was among those who remon-
strated with the deluded parents, and
the society for the prevention of cruel
" to children properly interfered. It
is difhcult to understand how persons
OF intelligence, however steadfast their
faith IN prayer, can fall into the snare of
tne teachlng that no surgeons are needed
Tor the broken bones of people who
pray. No more dangerous heresy could
be introduced into the churches. and
the acceptance of the doctrine would
paralyze all Christian activities. It ia
ordained that men shall use all available
mems for the attainment of the objects
ior which they offer their petitions, and
70 ignore this fact is to play the part of
fools. The marvellous ''faith cureso
are invariably effected in cases where
disease is mental more than physical.

Few Americans know how to pro-
nounce the name of English families

who has travelled much abroad yester-
day; "and don't wonder, for some of
them are very puzzling. Now, there is
a aCholmondely pronounced Chumbley,
and MarJoribanks sounded Marshbanks,
and Cockburn, which is called Coburn.
Then we have the poets name Cowper
always sounded Cooper by English peo-
pie, and Mainwarning is colled Manner
ing, just like SCOTS novel. The t is
never sounded in Johnston, and the e
in Elgin and elliott is hard, while in
Clifford and Nigel it is soft. The is
sounded in Molyneaux and Vaux, but
not in Devereaux, though the Irish
families of the name use all the letters.
The de is dropped in Waldegraye and
the TIL in Blyth. Dilwyn, the first name
Of Mr.. Parrish, a leading Philadelphia
Friend, is pronounced Dillun. The
first in ConJngham, Monson, and
Ponsonby is sounded u, and on the
same principle Blount is Blunt. There
are any number of other hard ones, as
for instance, Wemyss pronounced
Weems, Hertford Hartford, Beauclerc
Boclare. Dunchesnes Dukarn, Bethune
Beeton. Knollys Knowles, Glamis
Charms, and Ruthven Riven. Changes
have been going on for ages in the
spelling of some English family names,
but in most cases tho spelling pre-
served is the old one, and that is what
makes the trouble"

ILLINOIS WHEAT CROPS.


J. r. Dodge, the statistician of the
Agricultural Department, estimates the
average cost of wheat production dur
ing the last twenty-three years in
Illinois, which is the largest wheat
growing state in the Union, at S3 cents
a bushel, and the average value per
bushel at s1.O6. The cost per acre he
puts at $lO.46, and the value per acre
at $13.39. A loss is reported for seven
OF the twenty three years, but taking
the whole period together, about % per
cent. of the gross value has been profit.
In the states further west the cost is
less, the minimum of labor being an.
piled on cheaper lands. With the
average yield of twelve bushels per
acre, the average cost OF Sc to So per
acre would make the product cost from
5O to 81 cents per bushel, which he re-
CARDS as an approximate estimate for
states west of the Mississippi, differ
ing with the amount of labor required
and the yield of different seasons.

INDIA WHEAT.

The British government recently
caused an investigation to be made in
to the cultivation Of wheat in India, and
the result of the inquiries form an op-
perfume contribution to our knowledge
OF much confused subject. The re-
port states that in the most productive
district, which is also traversed by rail
ways, the cost of growing wheat on ma
nured and irrigated land is about 40
cents per bushel, exclusive of rent, or
62 cents per bushel inclusive of rent
The cost of marketing seems to be
about cne-third the village prices. In
less productive districts the cost NAV
be less in favorable seasons, but the
surplus is ordinarily insignificant
There are about 2O,OOO,OOO acres cult.
yated in wheat, and good yield is s..
100000 to 100000 tons. The opinion
is expressed that when the railroads are
more extended it may be possible that
the aggregate surplus of India NAV
reach 1,6S7,50O tons. The decline in
England prior to the heavy fall in April
had reduced the export to insignificant
proportions.

LOUISIANA FLOODS.

The Ohio flood occurred SO long ago,
and the Mississippi flood so soon after
that, that the intelligence that much of
Louisiana is still overfowed may well
cause surprise. This is, however, the
case, as we learn from late number of
the Times Democrat, which states that
in Pointe Coupee, Concordia, Madison
and Tensas parishes, many OF the best
plantations are still under water. Under
these circumstances. the action of the
House OF Represents tatives, in voting an
appropriation for the relief of the flood
ed districts, displayed unusual good
sense and generosity.

EDUCATION.

The British Royal Commission on
technical education has just made an
interesting report, in which the follow
ingrecommendations are made: (1) That
rudimentary drawing be incorporated
with writing as an elementary subject
in all schools, and that instruction in
drawing be continued right up through
all the standards, drawing from casts
and models being part of the work.
~ That proficiency in the use of tools
for working in wood and iron be paid
for by the education department as q
special subject, and that grants be made
to schools in aid of collections suitable
for schools instruction in the principles
and facts of agriculture be made obiga-
tory in the upper standards. (4) That
no child under IA years be allowed to
work as full-timers in factories or work
shops until he has passed in what is
called the fifth standard. (5) That
school boards shall have power to main
tain classes for artisans under the
science and art department. (6) That
ancient endowments be applied, under
new schemes, to secondary and techni-
cal instruction. (7) That schools or
departments of schools be established
by the Charity Commissioners in which
the study of natural science, drawing,
mathematics and modern languages
shall take the place of Latin and Greek.
(S) That local authorities should baye
power to establish technical and agri-
cultural schools and colleges. 10y
That museums of art, science and tech
nological collections be opened to the
public on Sundays. The commissioners
also state that in "the arts of construc-
ton and the staple manufactures as a
whole, the British people maintain their
position at the head of the industrial
world -
