Incidents In a Dentists once.

Several years before the introduction Of
nitrous oxide gas all kinds of experiments
wero tried to devise some method to eX-
tract teeth without pain. One plan was
The galyanic battery, or lightning meth
cd, q copper wire being connected from
the battery to the forceps, which conveyed
shock to the tooth, and was supposed to
prevent pain during the operation. Our
first patient, robust, healthy man, whose
teeth were put in to stay" wanted a
large molar extracted. The attachment
was made as usual. but the connecting
wire proved to be too short, and parted
Just as the forceps grasped the tooth, Of
course disconnecting the battery entirely.
The tooth came out after quite struggle.
Our patient instantly left the chair and,
with smile on his face, declared it to De
the greatest invention of the age, saying
he had not suffered the slightest pain. In
this case, at least, mind conquered matter.
On one occasion, after drawing tooth
for suffering, nervous patient, and,
naming the price he said: "WeI, hope
your charges are high enough; DR.. -
the other day drew me all around the
room aud only charged me O quarter"
Quite recently lady from a neighooring
town brought in a set of teeth on gold
plate which she wanted to sell, saying,
with sigh: SO long as my dear bus
band lived they were OF the greatest posi-
bio benefit to him; but, poor man, buried
him last week: he'll have no more use
for them. and ! thought / could spend
the money just now to good advantage"
A young lady with beautiful set Of
natural teeth, perfectly sound, insisted
that large cavities should be drilled in
each front tooth. in order, she said, ito
show all the gold possible She was
quite indignant at our refusal TO .aocede
to such an insane reouest.-Hartford

THE BOSTON STORE.
Chronic Tea Poisoning,

DR.. William n Bullard, of Boston, read
an article on the subject at late meeting
of the Massachusetts Medical society,
which the society recommended for publ
cation.
A year and q half ago the author pub
lished paper, giving the results Of some
what extended investigations on the SUBJ
ject. These were that the poison is not
readily eliminated, but accumulates in the
system; that its prominent effect is on the
young and those who are in depressed
+ physical condition; that the average
amount of OoloRg and Souchong teas
medium grades needed to produce in
furious symptoms is little less than five
cups a day, and that the most common
symptoms are loss of appetite, dyspepsia,
paipitation, headache, vomiting and nau-
sea. combined with various forms of
functional nervous affections, historical
and neuralgia.
These results have been confirmed BY
further Investigations - mostly among
women who are accustomed to drink a
considerable amount of tea daily, without
taking adequate food, and when in an ex
hausted condition. The vigorous and
well nourished and those actively engaged
in the open air are not often similarly af
fected.
The nervous disturbance, due to chronic
tea poisoning, is of q peculiar character.
Says DR.. Bullard: 1.-THE normal condition
of the nervous system is disturbed and re
placed by condition Of hyper-excitabil-
ity, or Of less stable equilibrium. This is
shown by their want q calmness, their
general restlessness and irritability, and
the desire to be constantly moving, while,
at the same time, there is subjective SEN
sation of loss of self control, and of in
ability to act slowly Such persons are
subject to exaggerated efforts from ordi
nary impressions; they are startled, jump
at unexpected noises or sensations, OF, in
other words, react too freely to slight eI-
ternal influences. YOUTH Companion.

Supt. Robertson, of the Public Schools,
has taken possession of the Main street
building. Four of the schools were
moved there Saturday last. and the other
schools. now located in the old Academy
building. will be moved in the next few
DAYS. The building is complete in every
respect. The rooms are large, well ven
tiIated, heated by steam, and have all the
conveniences and belongings specially
adapted to the school work.
Not only is the building an ornament to
the city, but it is a great comfort and
blessing to the teachers and pupils who
have for so many years had to put up with
accommodations not designed nor suited
10 the purposes Of school education.
The pluck, energy. and courage of the
present council in furnishing the city this
SPLENDID building for its public schools,
deserve, as they will receive, the highest
praise Of the citizens of the town. Those
who have children to be educated, will
hail with delight the dawn Of new life in
this most important department of life S
work, and those whose wisdom and good
Judgment have planned and executed the
work, will ever be held in grateful remem-
brance by the people of our progressive
city.
Soon the building for the colored chill
dren will be erected on the old market lot.

To Owners of Mineral Lan6s:

We have effected an arrangement with
Professor Holmes. of the Sherwood Female
Seminary by which qualitative analyses Of
all kinds of minerals will be made without
cost to the owners and the result published
in the VIRGINIAN.
This department was for long time
conducted by Dr. Traphagen, and proved
of interest and value TO many OF our read
ers and patrons. Dr. Traphagen's sue
eessor is a sklliful and thorough chemist,
and will make the department as popular
and full of interest as heretofore.
Parties desiring Qaantjtdttee analyses
Syill. of coufge, be charged reasonable
See.
All minerals, waters. soils, &c, must be
delivered at the VIRGINIkN Office at the
owners expense.
ANALYSES OF ORES, ETC.
j. S. s., Greenyille. Va.-No. I. A very
fine crystalized specimen of manganese.
This specimen would warrant further
investigation.
No. .. A high grade llmonite iron ore,
would probably show an analysis to be
above 50 per cent. ore.
J.R.R.. Stuart'9 Draft. Quartz con-
tanning thin veins of micaceous iron OF no
value.
G. NJ. B.. Mt. Scion. Please send anoth-
er sample.
E.E.P., Pond Gap, Va. Carboniferous
shales similar to the sliclken sides of the
true coal measures Il the specimens oc-
eur in what is known geologicaily as the
@carboniferous group" would regard them
as valuable Indication.
E.S., No. l. Conglomerate carrying a
low per cent. of iron in the form of the
hydrated oxide.
No. ?. Quartz stained with and contain
ing small quantities of red hematite.
No 3. Trachyte containing small parti
Giles of iron pyrites disseminated through
out. An assay would be necessary to de-
termlne whether silver was present.
No. 4. A very clear and beautiful speci
men of calcite or crystalized carbonate OF

linen.
