Englishmen would follow a real leader to the end of the earth, cost what it might. But where is be to be found?
 Indianapolis Times: There IS nothing new about the whipping-post. It is a barbarous relic of a barbarous era. Men were whipped for wife-beat- ing a hundred years ago. And hundred years ago wife-beating was infinitely more common than it now is. In fact, there is reason to believe that it was not an uncommon crime, even in fashionable society. It was laughed at on the stage, and was a universal incl dent in the novel. So that the whip ping-post is not a cure for wife-beating.

TIE Asiatic cholera seems to have &C., quired very firm footing in Spain. Its ravages are widespread and are daily involving new districts. At this time the mortality is over fifty per cent of the cases, on an average, while m many provinces the mortality reaches the startling ratio of eighty to ninety per cent. Other European countries are doubling their sanitary precautions in anticipation of the epidemic reaching them, and are erecting severe qusran- tine barriers to stay the progress of the disease. As in the case of all epidemics, the horrors of the disease are greatly aUgumented by the consternation 1t creates among the afflicted people, and 1t is a well known fact that many die from sheer fright and from other ail- ments and their deaths are charged to the cholera. IL IS hoped that the epidemic will shoulder and die out within its present limits.

Warming Rooms.

: correspondent, writing from Vienna says:
"lf all the little details tending to better the
common welfare of every nation were gathered
together and conferred in one nation, that nation
would be happy one but think it would still
grumble To give an example or two of what I
mean: In England the ordinary method of
warming room is by means of an open fire. 1t
is very cheerful way, certainly, but very dear,
because not half the warmth given out by the
burning coal is radiated into the room. 1t goes
up the chimney. In France there is improve
ment by using stoves. Here in Austria it
10 still better. The stoves are large about
six feet high and two broad. but have a
small place for the fire. So when the fire is
kindled, heat is given out to the sides of the
stoves before it lose itself in the fue. In
Russia the stoves have a number of fues, usually
six, up the first of which the heated smoke goes
down the second, up the third etc, so that by
the time it reaches the chimney it is almost cold
A handful of wood warns the stove enough to
to heat large room. When the fire is burnt
out the communications to the chimney and
room are cut off. then the stove slowly radiates
it's accumulated heat into the room. Where
am writing this letter is a large white earthen-
ware stove six feet high with forty-eight square
feet of surface. A pound of coal sets it going
and keeps the room warm for the greater part of
the day"

an extract in a newspaper and ordered the

A DENTISTS THEORY.
How Gold and Silver Will Be Obtained for
Filling Teeth at No Distant Day.

How Gold and Silver Will Be Obtained for
Filling Teeth at No Distant Day.
New York Mail and Express
A prominent uptown dentist has a curious
theory respecting the future of gold and silver
He propounded his theory to reporter this
morning:
"You see" he said "the constant demand for
the precious metals will soon exhaust the sup-
ply. Already the use of gold a coin is begin
ming to be deprecated. There are still q good
many mines, it is true, but they will not last
forever. This very item of gold and silver for
the filing of teeth is enormous We dentists
can readily tell how the gold market is. The
gold and silver foi4 that we use for filing ia
gradually becoming more expensive. There will
come time not SO many years from now, when
Jewelry will have to be made out of sometime
else. Gold and silver will cost too much.
Then money will cease to have gold and silver
standards. The greenback or nickel will
be substituted Then, finally, the supply for
purposes of teeth filing will get very low and
only the very rich can afford to have gold fill
ings. Yet gold filings are absolutely essential
to the dental art for there is nothing SO durable
and desirable"
Well, what will happen and how will the sup
II will tell you. The only way to secure tho
ming necessary will be from the bodies of those
who have been buried. There will be- plenty of
gold and silver in the graves"
DO you mean to say that dentists will have
graves dug up and extract gold and silver from
the bones of skeletons?'
THAT is just what mean, and am in earn.
est about it. The idea seems horrid and uncanny
at first, but all repulsion would soon disappear.
People would get used to it. Besides, there
would be no danger. The filings could be ex-
tracted and the gold and silver melted over
again / am not the only dentist that has
thought of this. 1t has often been Quietly dis
cussed by the profession"

Lines on a. Old Played Out Song.

BY BENZ. F. JOHNSON OF BOONE.
It's the curiousest thing in creation,
Whenever hear that old song,
DO They Miss Me at Home, " I'm so conjured
My life seems as short as it's long,
For everything pears like adzackly
1t 'peared in the years past and gone,
When started out sparkin at twenty,
And had my first neckercher on
Though I'm wrnkelder, older and grayer
Right now than my parents was then,
You strike up that song, do They Miss Me-"
And I'm jest youngster again.
I'm a-standin' back there in the furries
A-wishin' for evening to come,
And a-whisperin' over and over
Them words, do They Miss Me at Homea"
You see. Marthy Ellen she sung 1t
The first time heerd it; and so,
AS she was my very first sweetheart.
1t reminds of her, don't you know
How her face ust to look in the twilight
AS tuck her to spellin'; and she
Keep a-hummin that song tel asst her,
Pineblank, eff she ever missed Me!
can jest shet my eyes, asyou sing it,
And heer her low answerin words,
And then the glad chirp of the crickets
AS clear as the twitter of birds;
And the dust in the road is like velvet,
And the ragweed and fennel and grass
Is as sweet as the scent of the lilies
Of Eden of old, as we pass.
'Do They Miss Me at Homeg" Sing it lower
And softer-and sweet as the breeze
That powered our path with the snowy
White bloom of the old locus trees.
Let the whpporwils hep you to sing it,
And the echoes way over the hill,
Tel the moon boolges out in chorus
Of stars, and our voices is still.
But oh! 'They's chord in the music
That's missed when her voice is away
Though listen from midnight tel morning,
And dawn tel the dusk of the day!
And grope through the dark, lookin' UP ards
And on through the heavenly dome,
With my longin' soul singin' and sobbin'
The words "Do They Miss Me at Home?"

And their petals fell apart;
Now each naked branch discloses
Nothing but a bleeding heart.

And the faded aster grieves.

But to toss the fallen leaves.

Why, hello! Now, who are you,
Peeping from among the grasses,
Like little eye of blueq
You were hidden in your cover,
And I must have passed you by.

And it's time for you to die!"

This is such a lonely spot;

And no music at the dawn.

And its rainbows in the sky,

Then the wind, who slew SO blindly,
That he'd spared no flowers yet,

Signing, REST, poor violet"
And he covered her completely
With the leaves of red and gold
And she lies there sleeping sweetly,
For she never feels the cold.
