Electricity Instead of Laughing Gas

Boston Letter to the st. Louis Globe Democrat
Boston people nowadays have their super,
fiuous teeth drawn by means of electricity.
Inasmuch as all new ideas in the. arts and
ciences are spread from this enlightened
metropolis originally, and from hence ex-
tended over the country, there is little
doubt that sooner or later this new method
will supersede laughing gas and ether in
other big cities of the union. The process in
question is very simple, scarce any apparatus
being required beyond an ordinary two-cell
battery, with vibrator attachment. This
attachment is a thin strip of metal, fastened
at the ends, which is made to vibrate a
thousand or more times per second by the
electric current At each vibration tn
circuit is cut off and renewed again, the
effect being to give perfectly steady flow
of the mysterious fluid. In order to make
sure that the flow is quite satisfactory the
operator tunes the macnine-assisted by a
little reed tuning pipe-until the strip Of
metal sings "A.n So far, so good.
Now, TO the battery are attached three
wires. Two of them have handles at the
ends, and the third is hitched to a forceps.
The patient in the chair is given a handle to
hold in each hand, and the current is turned
on gradually until it becomes painful. The
he is told to grasp the handles as strong as
poss BILE, the electricity-having been
switched off for a moments turned
on again suddenly. and the dental surgeon
applies / is forceps simulta eously to the
tooth. The instant the molar is touched, it,
as we | as the parts surrounding, becomes
electrified AID absolutely insensibe to pain
Whei it is withdrawn from the so ket, the
subject of the operation feels not the slight
est disagreeable sensation. A jerk and the
tooth is out, the patient drops the handles
and the affair is over.

And how the women chatter at the open
ing. The fall displays of bonnets and gowns
are the first approaches to social reunion
after the summers separation. Women
seem to love crowds, and in the congenial
dry goods atmosphere, heavy with mixed
perfumes, surrounded by ribbon rainhows,
with jet flashing in their eyes and tinsel
sparkling over their heads, it is:
"Do tell ME when did you come backW
"Horrid summer, wasn't itl So cold and
rainyp
nd not a man anywhere. l declare
am glad to get home"
DO look ct that red turban."
The styles are just exquisite this fall,
anyway"
And so on hour after hour ad infinitum.
Women come and women go, but the same
small talk flows on forever.
And the openings They are openings of
fur. Furred hats, furred gowns, furred
cloaks; especially furred gowns. The Rus
sian taste for fur-trimmed gowns has been
slow in reaching us. 1t travelled by way of
England aud it stopped on the way, but it
is here. This winter Russomania will
eclipse Anglomania. Furred gowns ON the
street we have had. This autumn's gowns
are for evening and the house. Tolstoi
reigns supreme. The Tostoi girl will at
once be abroad This is how you may know
her. At an afternoon tea she sweeps in late
one 10 Cldu III u long, straight CllnSlDS rODo
of white broadcloth looped over a skirt of
white velvet and heavily bordcred with
otter's fur. There is fur at her wrists, and,
very possibly fur clinging about her throat
She is arctic aud yet she has a tropic eye
and tropic air.
If she is hostess, instead of guest, her tea
gown is in pale terra Gotta or a white foamy
green fairly rioting in lynx fur. If she
walks on the avenue or in the park her
gown is white serge bordered with white
grebe, or perhaps white cloth with doeskin
collar and cuffs and wide border of beaver
If the day is gray instead of sunny. her
gown is gray silk with pink crepe vest and
band of muskrat fur about the skirt.
AT theater or opera she wears white vel
vet corduroy, made warm with beaver or
otter. At an evening reception she is
stately in white velvet with fluffy band of
swans down.
The Tolstoi girl wears no hustle The
Greek girl wears no hustle. The Drectoire
girl wears no hustle. The Worth girl wears
mighty fallen. Gowns cling. To cling is
new verb in fashions vocabulary, but it
is going to be extensively corrugated. To
cling does not mean that the gown is fiat.
1t is to be literally interpreted The gowns
hug the figure.

houses is fuller than the profusion of soft,

BUSTLE AND CONFUSION.
THE STORY OF A CAMPAIGN CLUB
ON PARADE.

E Man Who Was Filled with Political
Enthusiasm and Afterward Slept in
a Tree.
NEW YORK, Sept. IL joined our local
campaign club because can't stand poll
tics. Our club room is the only place in the
city where the subject is strictly barred
out. We found early in the campaign that
no two of US could agree, and since then
we've banished the subject in the interest of
harmony. 1t ought to be done throughout
the length and breadth of the land know
that the suggestion will be of inestimable
benefit to both sides, and l am looking for
some modest recognition out of the CAM
paign funds. 1t is great relief to me to
escape into the peaceful atmosphere of our
headquarters after being shaved by a bar

couragement of domestic wool-growing

got into our club just in time for the
big parade. All was confusion. There was
no end of hustle about our uniforms-almosJ
as much as there would have,been if they had
been intended for woman suffrage battal-
ion Our club was poor and we were
obliged to buy job lot of uniforms, all of
one pattern. They were cut to fit the man
who made them, and he was 5 feet inches
in hight and shaped like jug. Mine fitted
me like Coney Island bathing suit. |
stuck out of it a great way at both ends,
for | am shaped like a sentence by the Hon.
William NJ. Evarts. The captain of our
squad looked at me and said that | should
certainly attract good deal of attention.
Later, when he made up the line, he gave
me the transparency to carry because he
said that there was nothing fit to size up
alongside of me except the pole. The tran
sparency weighed about so pounds when we
started and about $50 at the end of the first
mile. 1t was rainy night, of course; 1t
always rains on a parade. My Uniform be-
gan to shrink as soon as the water touched
it, and in few minutes the pantaloons had
crawled up to my knees. AT this point
asked the captain whether l should gel
an umbrella, or let the shrinkage go on ana
take my chances of avoiding Anthony Com
stock. | added that | had supposed the en-
tertainment was a political demonstration
and not ballet spectacle. The captain was
| somewhat out of temper, and be replied
| that needn't be so afraid of my old legs
| because they were so thin that nobo iy
would ever notice that | had them with
me. This did not wholly soothe my wounded
| modesty, but ! managed to keep out of sight
| most Of the time by walking in the shadow
of the pole of the transparency, where the
| candle grease from the inside of it trickled
slowly down my back.

Hence The cloak The cloak is. NAV, be of
II deep red beaver cloth. 1t is made full in
front, with draped and plated back and
long drapery sleeves. 1t is braided. There
is much meaning in those three words. 1t
is braided in intricate scrolls, put in small
black silk cord. 1t is braided from top to
bottom. Braided front, braided back.
braided collar and sleeves. 1t is "a study in
braiding. Other cloth long coats are made
Of long haired camers hair woven in shawl
patterns of soft gray or brown, faced with
red or gold-hued silk, and finished with
plush or velvet collar. The Russian cloak
in rough homespun with its double circular
front and close fitting ba ok is the carriage
cloak of the autumn. The Irish peasant
cloak finds a limited constituency. 1t is
| made just now of a light. smooth cloth,
shirred about the shoulders into a velvet
| Joke of some dark contrasting color.
Jet has come back in high favor. The
| rich plush wraps of the winter are braided
| and jetted and furred in furore of orna-
| mentation. And the boa. There is the fur
boa and the lace boa and hat boa. 1t would
| De hard to say which the women at the
| openings acclaim most loudly. The fur boa
hangs to the hem of the gown. The lace
boa is caught together with ribbons and
can't quite make itself look winterish. The
hat boa is thick streamer of feather trim
ming which depends from the poke bonnet
| and is wrapped about the throat when the
wind blows.
