In view of the report OF New York physicians
who visited Plymouth Pa, and investigated
the cause OF the fearful disease which prevails
there, the question OF the contamination of the
Potomac will not lnSe any Of It's Importance.
These physicians found that during last winter
a family residing on the mountain side above
Plymouth had typhoid fever; that during the
prevalence of the disease the water with which
the patients were washed was thrown into the
yard the ground then being covered
with snow. The excTement sweepings of the
house, etc, were also deposited in the
yard and when the snow melted il ran into
mountain branch which fed the Plymouth
reservoir. Thus the stream was polluted and
the reservoir poisoned. The physicians re-
ported that so distinctly could they trace the
germs Of disease thus disseminated that nenI-
bers of the same family in which the disease
prevailed, who. as a matter of preference, drank
sprin or well water, were not attacked, while
those who drank reservoir water invariably
suffered from the disease.

John Adams, tho second president of
the nited states, used to relate the
following aRecdote:
when | was a boy | used TO study
the Latin grammar; but it was dull, and
| hated it. My father was m Sious to
send me to college, and therefore |
studied the grammar till l could bear it
no longer, and, going to my father, /
told him did not like to study, and
asked for some other emplo ment. 1t
was opposing his wishes, and he was
quick in his answer. We'll, John, if
Latin grammar does not suit you. on
may try ditching; perhaps that will.
My meadow, yonder, needs a ditch, and
you may put by Latin, and try that p
This seemed a delightful change, and
to the meadow 1 went. But | soon
found ditching harder than Latin, and
The first forenoon was the longest | had
ever experienced. That da | alto the
bread Of labor, and right glad was
when night came on. That night I
made some comparisons between Latin
anu aitching, but said not a word about
it, ! dug next forenoon, and wanted to
return TO Latin at dinner but it was
h%umiliating, and | could not do it. AT
night toll conquered pride; and though
it was one of the seyerest trials / ever
had in my life, ! told my father, that if
he choose, | would go back 10 Latin
grammar. He was glad of it: and if |
have since gained any distinction ii has
been owing to two days labor in that
accountable ditch"

Among the penitentiary inmates at
Stoney Mountain is an Indian, who the
other day was en- Dying a quiet walk,
and doubtless contemplating the days
when he was free to wander untram-
meled through the wild woods. In
passing a certain spot, near which
some of the convicts were splitting
wood, he vas struck on the head by a
big stick, thrown with considerable
force. Instantly the demeanor of the
Indian was changed, and the worst ele-
ments of his nature aroused. He was
no longer the quiet thinker, the sub
dued and peaceful Inmate of Warden
Eedson's institution. In a few mo-
ments the whole man was changed and,
with a bound toward the con let who
had so carelessly struck him, he gave
voice to a war wboop which sent a thrill
of terror through the heartsof the bray
est. In n moment the Indian had his
victim in a deadly embrace, and was
getting satisfaction when the interfer-
ence Of the guards e%tfectually pre-
vented him from proceeding further in
his designs.

starting from the ground to impress

| can remember at school, when | was
a little chap. that we had to sing geog
raphy. We sung with all our nights in
chorus the names and lengths OF rivers,
tho names and populations Of towns,
the names and heights of mountains.
1t was n great performance at school, it
sharpened the eye, expanded the lungs,
and gave to many Of us tho onl5 geo
graphical knowledge we ever have re-
ceived.
So the huge civil war was merely q
singing of geography; the singing was
somewhat appalling in its tone and va
riations; sometimes it was the bursting
of a shell, again the roaring of volleys,
again the cannonade between great gun
boats and intrenched forts, then the
shrek of the wounded the yell of the
rebel and the cheer of ) Union, but it
was singing geography all the time.

DENTISTRY IN EARLY TIMES.


The Old Fashioned Turnkey - First
Artificial Tooth-At the Butchar's.
Cor. Hartford lConn) Postl
AT the date Of my earliest recollec-
ton dentistry as now practiced was un-
known. Teeth were extra ted by regu-
lar practicing physicians generally, and
their only outfit was an instrument
known as the 'turnke,' or hawks bill. >
1t was constru ted like a common nail
and gimlet with a movable hook at the
end, which could be turned 50 as to
seize upon any tooth. whatever its posi-
ton; then by a twisting motion the
Offending molar was rolled out. In
country pla es where physicians were
sparsely located, men in various ocou-
pations would keep a turnkey and per-
form the service. In one instance I
know OF a lad who acquired tho repu.
tAtlon of an expert at the business and
had quite an extensive practice.
The first artificial tooth which ever
saw was inserted by an itinerant dentist.
II was secured upon a metal pivot or
dowell and the pivot was forced into
the stump Of decayed tooth. They
were made from ivory or cattle's teeth,
and sometimes secured in wood instead
OF metal piyots. In 1888 there were in
this city but three professional dentists.
Not far from that time some one had
secured two or more teeth to a metallic
spring which clasped the ad DIN ng
teeth in such n manner as to hold then
in position. That was thought to DO a
wonderful achievement, and was pro.
claimed to the world.
In that year there we're slaughtered
at ono place near this city several hun
dred head of cattle for barreling, and
cart-loads Of heads were piled near the
slaughtor-house. / saw one of those
dentists approach them with a saw and
sack and select such specimens as suited
him. ie then sawed of the under avs
containing the teeth hioh he desired,
and, after filing his sack, he put them
into his buggy and departed. Some
body mouth was doubtless ornamented
with those teeth, and they took salts
faction in showing their ivory Since
that period | shall not attempt to de-
scribe the inventions, progress and i'm
pro,ement in the science, for ! am ut
terly incapable. Instead OF three we
now have twenty-three of the profession
in this city"

ion whatever is made for the payment
OF the trai cling expenses of either ac,
cepted or rejected candidates for admis-
sion TO the academy, but the pay of n
cadet is $40 per year, beginning with
his admission TO the institution. He
must wear the prescribed uniform, the
cost Of the Quilt for which is about 800.
The work is very hard The activities
have no break throughout the entire
year. Work beginning with the first OF
september lasts TO the end Of the year.
After a few days consumed in examina-
tons another term begins, which lasts till
May 81. Then come examinations which
last till about the middle Of June, from
whence until Aug. 30 the cadets live in
camp oil the plain. During this period
no regular studies are pursued, books
being largely thrown aside for practical
work, such as surveying, astronomical
observations, etc. Practical surveying
in the field during the season of camp
ing out aptly supplements the studies in
drawing. The study of military tactics
comprises practical instruction in the
schools of the soldier, company and bat
talon, and in artillery and cavalry.
With the third year the successful
cadet is advanced to the study of nat.
ural and experimental philosophy,
chemistry, minerology and geology,
freehand drawing and landscape in
black and white. constructive and arch
itectural drawing in ink and colors,
while tactics are continued aud practi-
cal and military engineering added to
the hard work of the period. In the
last year the scope OF studious pursuit
IS enlarged by the addition of civil and
military engineering and the science OF
war, the spanish language interna-
tional, constitutional and military law,
outline of the history Of the world, and
technical instruction in ordnance and
gunnery and signaling.
Along with these n other sub ects
ot'book study co res practical i%nstrnc-
ton in the construction OF pontoon and
spar bridges. In laying out field and
siege works, in astronomy, surveying,
military reconnoisslnces, field teleg-
