The Telephone Voice.

The fs.,st Is t that telephone does not
disguise voice at all; It simply accents
its prevailing quality, making it rather
more recognizable, if possible. A person
who has sharp ring in the voice will
speak more sharply, a gruff voice will
be more gruff; aud, by the same rule,
an insincere voice ought to be more in.
sincere. +. The telephone, indeed, if a
little more leisure could be given to the
people who talk through it, instead of
the feeling that the, central office is
waiting impatiently to cut them of,
would give fine opportunity for weigh
ing a mans words unperturbed by the
actual presencs.

1t is difficult. to. state where the best
varieties Of the coca leaf may be obtained
The plant fourishes throughout the
extent of the Andean plateau, from Ecu,
ador to far south in Bolivia. In Peru it
grows exurberantly in the far interior
from $50 to 500 miles from the Pacific
coast. Back Of Truyillo, in the north
of Peru. toward the river Maranon, a
very excellent quality Is found, but,
just now, in that district, as well as in
the others ofPeru, it is of difficult ex-
portation, owing to the still unsettled
condition of political affairs, the heavy
rains prevailing in those sections and
the limited means of transportation
available.
The current value of the coca leaves
at Lima and at Callao may be fixed at
30 cents, gold, per pound. The
usual mode Of packing for transporta-
tion is in hides, forming what, in COM
mercial parlance, is termed ''ceroons,
but the article from the Maranon, to
which l refer particularly, comes to
hand in small packages covered with
corn husks. Manufacturers speak
highly of this quality of coca.

Dentistry OF the Primitive Sort.

Some Of the more primitive methods
Of extracting teeth are worthy of men
ton. One was to attach one end of
stout string to the offending tooth, the
other end to the handle of half-opened
door, and then suddenly close the door.
The Same b,ect was sometimes at
tanned by fastening the string to a win
dow-sill, and then jumping out of the
window. How high a window should
be from the ground to perform this
operation satisfactorily is not stated,
though this is question of but little
moment to man suffering with a
raging toothache.
Early in the present century dentists
travelled from town to town, provided
with turnkey, scraper, and some
kind of dentifrice. The latter COM
monty contained acids. which not only
removed the tartar from teeth, but de-
stroyed their enamel. AS one of Bos-
tons most prominent dentists expressed
it: ITO use such a preparation is like
setting barn afre to kill the rats. In
destroying exposed nerves hot iron
was useG in place of steptics. A small
nerve in the ear, connected with a net
work of nerves, extending to the median
line, was sometimes destroyed with a
hot iron to prevent toothache. In
other words, the burning of that little
nerve preelnded the possibility Of tooth
ache on one side of the face This was
not general custom, though the oper-
alton is known to have been quite fire.

New YORK, March 3l.-Dispatches re,
ceived this morning from Quoge, L. l.,
state that the German steamer Europa,
loaded with sugar for New York, went
ashore of that place at IL o'clock last
night. Captain Jessup and crew, of the
life saving station; went to the steamer
and brought the first mate ashore. Every
body was comfortable at that time. Later
advices, however, are to the effect that the
sea of Quoge is becoming heavier and
breakers prevent the life saving crew from
going out to the stranded vessel. She has
signalled for assistance by rockets, and
lines are now being fred to her. The
crew will be brought ashore. The vessel
lies on the outer bar in about twenty five
feet Of water. Tugs have been telegraphed
for, and if the weather is not too rough
they may get her off at high tide. The
Europa is from Antwerp, and lost her
bearings in the heavy fog.

QUoGE, l.. l., March 3l.-The officers
and crew, twenty-Seyen in all OF the steam
er Europa have been brought ashore, after
considerable difficulty, owing to the high,
boistrous surf. They are guartered at the
life saving station. The Captain reports
five feet of water in the Europia's hold.
The sea is running higher every hour and
is breaking over the stranded vessel. 1t is
feared that she will be drawn over the bar
and wrecked. The Europia is an iron
steamship of 100 tons, 260 feet long,
draws 22 feet Of water and is rated A |.
She is owned in Hamburg.
