INTERESTING STORY.
HORSE DENTISTRY.
Billy ID. UnderEoes Painful but satutary
Operation.


When mans teeth become decayed they
may be bored out and filed with gold. When a
horses teeth are rotten, they are pulled out.
II Billy d. had been q man and had moi
wanted them filled, or even common sort
Of horse, the teeth would have been pulled
without more ado. But 81, 400 horse, with
record of 2:144 with running mate could
not be handled in the ordinary. way. The
bad teeth were crowded tight together, and
there was danger of breaking the jaw DIR.
Charles II. Peabody was called in, con-
sultation held, and bold operation decided
upon. Assistants were summoned, and Bill
ly d. had moose passed about his four feet
The end of the rope was hauled on, the feet
came together, and Billy D. dropped help
less to the floor. A speculum was pried be-
tween his jaws in front. A veterinary spec

Billy DIS mouth was forced open wide
enough to take in key, and held SO. Then
one man took hold Of his tail, drew it
straight ont, and held 1t there, with his feet
braced against the patients back. This was
to keep Billy D. from drawing himself up
and straining his spine. One assistant
watched his feet The doctors located the
teeth, and with the knife a cut was made
through the flesh near the frontal sinews,
about at the "cheek bone" Then a tre-
phine bored into the upper jaw bone, and
circular piece, three-quarters of an inch in
diameter, and perhaps an eight of an inch
thick, was taken out, leaving hole leading
right through the jaw bone and over the
teeth. Into this hole long iron rod was
introduced and placed on one of the bad
molars, which as they could not be seen
from without, had to be located by ineas-
uring the distance from the front of the Jaw
inside the mouth. Seven or eight strong
blows with mallet on the end of the iron
rod started the big tooth. Billy d. moaned
just little at every blow. Then his tongue
was held, the forceps, as big as pair of fire
tongs, were set about the tooth and man.

altogether brought the tooth out as slick as
whistle, and Billy d. said g Oh p or some-
thing like it, and closed his eyes, The other
molar was now pretty loose, and it, too, was
drawn without difficulty. The man at the
tail let go his hold, the jackscrew and the
horrible wire were removed, and Billy d.
scrambled to his feet and walked to his stall.
apparently feeling much relieved. The hole
in his jaw was syringed out and filled with
cotton.
Subsequent treatment has consisted of
daily Swinging, at first with astringent solu-
tons and later with soap and water, and
within three weeks Billy D. was able to take
trot on the road for little while. The
wound is healing rapidly, accumulates little
pus, and soon the horse will be ready to
take his daily exercise ON the road. He gives
every indication that the removal of the
teeth has relieved him of much suffering,
and his appetite and disposition are un-
doubleday greatly improved. Providence

THE DRUNKEN WOMEN OF LONDON.

Walk along Fleet street, 60 slowly along
the Strand or any one of the many streets,
lanes and alleys crossing those two great ar
tories at right angles, look into any Of the
beer or whiskey shops at any hour of the
day or night and count the souls there. You
will find more women than men--women
with babes at the breast, young girls from
t6 up, old women with bloated faces and
every tender lineament Of their sex blotted
from their countenances by the brutalizing
agency Of alcohol old women, too, scarcely
able to stand from the combined effects Of
age and dissipation.
II Is horrible spectacle, which have
never seen in any other part Of the world.
These poor female wretches huddled to-
gether outside the bar in small rooms ten
feet square, perhaps, imbibing the soul-poi-
son from morn till night, cheering each
other mayhaps by ribald talk and jest, neg
Letting all the duties Of womanhood for the
lake of the loved dram or pint, and after
spending all their pennies or ha'pence, as
the case may be, reeling out into the busy

$1,000 MILES TO MILL.
Some OF the Cnriesities OF Home and
Foreign Commercial Transactions.

A man on one Of the North River Penn.
sylvania Railroad piers, who was looking at
a carriage marked to 60 to Norfolk, Va,
yesterday, said TO bystander;
"The wood in those carriage wheels came
originally from Virginia in logs. Now IL
goes back as finished product.
Why cannot the Virginia wood be work
ed up on its native groundw
Because 20 one has established the
shops. But more singular things than that
have happened in the history Of commerce.
On October IA, 1856, for instance. the ship
Adelaide arrived in New York, bringing
cargo Of wheat, barley, Co., from San Fran
cisco, which paid the shipper a clean profit
Of so per cent, the wheat then selling at ga
a bushel. The ship was at once loaded for
San Francisco again, and among other
things carried out were 1900 barrels OF
-four. Californians had to go 1900 miles
10 mill in those days.
"Another curiosity OF commerce was
noted in the early Australian trade. While
the gold excitement was high merchants in
all parts Of the world flooded the markets
there with goods. A Glasgow manufacturer
sent quantity of hardware to the new gold
fields, but when the ship reached the Aus.
tralian port the market was so full of the
stuff that the consignment was put up al
auction, and brought less than the freight
charges. The man who bought II shipped
Il back to Glasgow, where he sold u at q
profit, although shade under Wholesale
prices. The Glasgow purchaser at once
reshipped il to Australia, and there, after
having three times crossed the intervening
seas, It found the market ready and good
prices waiting, the demand at tie mines
having cleared out the stock In hand dur
ing the months required to make the round
trip"

LADY AYLMER.
Romantic Incidents In the Life az an
American Lady.

Romantic Incidents In the Life 81 an
American Lady.
an interesting anu romantic story, WIN
decided local flavor, has Just reached us
from England. 1t will have an especial in
terest for the friends of that charming COM
panion, Christian gentleman, and able tele-
grapher, James d. Reid, who, in the fifties
and sixties, was q resident Of Utica and the
superintendent of the New York, Albany
and Buffalo Telegraph Company. He re-
gently visited Utica, and his friends saw with
pleasure that age was creeping over him in
the kindliest way, and that his honest, genial
face kindled as readily as ever at the greet
ings of friendship.
Mr.. Reid had two daughters with one of
whom this story has to do. In 1862, at IL
years of age, Anna b. Reid was sprightly
girl in Miss Kelly's Seminary Prior to this
she had spent two years in France with her
mother, and she spoke French like native
Her education was subsequently completed
at Miss Bonney's, in Philadelphia As she
matured she developed taste for music,
and had voice of unusual expressiveness
and power. In 1880 she went to Milan to
study under Giovanni, who promised her
great success. In 1881 she fell in the streets
of Mentone from sunstroke, and had to be
carried to Paris for treatment, and for years
she struggled for her life.
Last September she had so far recovered
as to be able to return to America. Mrs.
Reid had crossed the Atlantic to accompany
her daughter homeward. In paying fare
well visit in London the daughter met a
friend whom she had known for some time
"a refined and courteous gentleman of her
own age and of good family-named Arthur
Percy Aylmer who proposed marriage. He
had remote expectations, had modest home
with his mother, who was an authoress and
had noble connections in England, but he
had no business and only small income.
However, the regard which was professed
by the sutton was returned and the marriage
soon took place, the mother (Mrs. Reid) re-
turning to New York alone.
Then began struggle to find business.
Half year passed with no result. On the
18th of March, only three months age,
strange thing happened. Sir Justin Alymer,
aged "a, was finishing his studies at Cam.
bridge, England. On tho 18th he had fallen
from bicycle and on the 18th he died. The
death of Sir Justin Aylmer carried Baron
etcy and large estates, including an old
Baronial estate, to the heritage of an old
man of IS, the grandfather of Mr.. Aylmer,
the son-in-law of Mr.. Reid. Mr.. Aylmers.
father was dead, and young Aylmer was
sent for TO marage the estate. Here was
employment, coupled with q generous in
come. Only month later, however, the
old Baron died, and young Aylmer became
Baronet, with large entailed estate, with
rental of over $780, year. And the
little girl who played on our seminary lawn
and was educated by Miss Kelly is now the
Baroness Aylmer. Long and happily may
she live to enjoy the enviable station in
which fortune has placed her. Utica o.

Loves In this Calendar.
When chinks In Apriis windy dome
Let through q day OF June,
And foot and thought inclined to roam,
And every sounds tune;
When nature fl,s q fuller cup,
And hides with green the gray
Then. lover, pluck your courage up
To try your fate In May.
Though proud she was as sunset clad
In Autumn's fruity shades,
Love, too, Is proud and brings {gay ladD
Humility to maids.
Scorn not from natures mood to learn,
Take counsel OF the day:
Since naughty skies to tsnder turn
Go try your fate In May.
Though cold she seemed as pearly light
Adown December eyes,
And stern as night when March winds snnite
The beech's lingering leaves;
Yet Love hath seasons like the year,
And grave will turn to gay
Then, lover, listen not to fear,
But try your fate In May.
And you whose art 1t is TO hide
The constant love you feel:
Beware, lest osermuch OF pride
Your happiness shall steal.
No longer pout, for May is here
And hearts will have their way;
Loves in the calendar, my dear,
SO yield to tate IN May.

Reek-BorIss By Diam onds.

The diamond is now largely used as tool
end for boring hard rocks, and works eco
nomicaliy, effectively, and is also inde-
structible. At first sight II would seem a
costly method but such Is not the case,
considering that steel chisel was spoiled
for every inch bored in hard rock while
forming the Mont Gents tunnel across the
Alps, on the railway between France and
Italy. The diamond is the hardest known
body in nature. consequently nothing but
blow can injure II, direct wear Of its surface
being impossible, except by means Of dia.
mond powder.
