At q meeting OF the officers and diTec-

ton held at the council room, in Grand

a motion to hold our usual county fair
this year was voted down by quite a
decided majority. This action was
taken after due deliberation, and after
carefully watching the interest, or lack
of interest taken yea after year by our
farmers and busin ess men. In the
absence Of any demand for yearly
exhibitation of that kind, it is against
all economic principals to attempt to
maintain the supply, at the risk Of
financial loss, and wasted energy.

officers of a hearty cooperation and
support, they wiz feel justified in putt

For some days the water power Of the
Pioneer Pulp CO., at this place has been
undergoing improvements. Taking
advantage of the low water that Com
pany has blasted away the rock in their
wheel pits to considerable depth and
is now clearing the rock from the tail
race of the mill Draft tubes three
and one-half feet in length will be
placed below the water wheels. This
will add about three feet to the head of
water there available, giving an increase
Of about two hundred horse power.
This increases the power about one-half.
With the aid of this increase of power
the company will be able to run their
mill at its full capacity in any ordinarily
low stage of water-a thing that could
not be done before the present change
The work of making these improve
ments is in charge of A. NJ. Pride, who
had charge of the rebuilding of the
Company's mill after it burned last
winter and before thatdre thew plans
for and superintended the construction
70 the Pulp Mill at South Centralia The
fact that Mr. Pride has charge of the
work is assurance of its thorough and
prompt completion. So the improve
ment of our water-poWer goes steadily
forward. At the present rate it viii be
buta few years until all Of our numerous
and immense water powers viii be
utilized in profitable manufacture.
The Harwich Independent published
at Harwich, Mass, contains the follow
ing item about a recent meeting of cram
berry growers: The meeting Of cram
berry growers at Sandwich last week, Is
of utmost importance to cultivators OF
that favorite fruit. The growing of crau-
berries is a scientific and increasing
business, requiring careful work and
Judgment to produce good results. The
principal mission Of the association is to
systematic the disposition Of the fruit
after it is ready for market. Many other
| beneficial points were discussed and
viii be introduced as the organization
grows. The fact that the crop Of 1887 in
Barnstable and Plymouth countys was
100000 barrels, which means nearly or
! quite IS many dollars we're put in cir
culation, and that each year We are ad-
ding to the number, plainly shows that
the industry needs protection" The
association until its second birthday, has
at its head extensive growers Of sudci-
ent business experience in this and
other lines, as to insure a proper START
! ing of such an important enterprise.

Care of the Teeth.
From the Poston Globe.

The greatest thing to be guarded
against in young persons, and people in
middle age as well, is insldious decay,
which Is caused by permitting eXtrane-
Gus matter to locate upon the teeth, and
by tue use of drugs, particularly mercu-
ry. 1t is well TO bear in mind that the
very hard substance, called enamel,
which covers the crown of the tooth,
does not extend down below the gums,
and when masticated food sits down
between the teeth and lodges against
those parts from which the gums have
shrunk away decay VIII set in very
quickly. Ottentimes, too, this matter, if
allowed to remain, becomes offensive,
giving rise to suspicion that there is
some internal disorder, when as mat
ter of fact, there is nothing more serious
than lot OF decayed substance between
the teeth. Then, too, people have a
habit of picking their teeth with pin,
or some metal substance, which IN time
penetrates through the enamel and de-
strOys the teeth. Tartar. which comes
from the saliva, gathers about the base
OF the crown, and unless removed Will
injure the teeth. For this reason a
dentist should be visited at the yerv
least, twice year, TO cleanse the teeth
and put them in order. Sometimes
teeth viii Ossiiy and decay, rot giving
any warning until there is a large cavi-
ty which burrows through to the nerve,
and some day particle of food will
touch this delicate little organ when, of
course painful sensation is at once oc-
casioned. In adults sometimes it be-
comes necessary to destroy the nerve.
which IS done almost instantly by dem
usts who have perfected instruments.
No attempt, however, will be made to
do this If it can be avoided. Usually
dentists Will clean out a cavity III
tooth, and by packing gold filling about
tie cavity prevent 1t from touching the
exposed point of the nerve and also
keep food and any other matter from
touching it. Tartar Will also cause gum
bolls, eXcresCences and other disagreed
de troubles. Sometimes these substances
collect luSt as staiaCJites do on caves
and for long time the person knows
nothing about i. To ALWAYS keen
aware of the condition of the mouth
and teeth every person should be pro
Vlded with a dental mirror which would
enatle them to obtain a complete view
of their mouths. The reader who pos
scsses this dental mirror will be able to
see his gums, which in healthy state
should have pale color. and should
adhere closely to the neck of the tooth.
a brush will usually keep them in this
condition, and when they adhere close
ly no substance can drop down below
the neck of the tooth, at which point il
will be remembered the enamel leaves

requires. In mild cases of burning,
vaseline or iodide of zine is preferable
to mixture before mentioned.
sin cases where more than half the
body is burned fatal result is almost
inevitable; indeed, throughout my ex-
perience | can call to mind only two in
stances in which the patients recov-
cred afte. being go severely burned.
These were cases OF two lrlshmen,
James Lowry and Hugh Mallahon, both
employed at Dalameter's foundry, who
We're burned by the upsetting of some
red hot molten iron. The men present
ed a terrible sight when brought there,
and for three weeks they hung between
death and life. Ultimately they re-
covered, but it was only their native
vitality and Duoyancy of spirit that
saved them. In serious cases people
sometimes lInger for a fortnight before
death comes, but if they pass that limit
we can nearly always pronounce them
out of danger. What we doctors call
skin cases-that is to say, cases-,in
which the skin alone Is burned-are
never fatal, except in cases OF extreme
weakness and Old age, AS to what |
should recommend to be done in cases
where the doctor lives at a great dis
lance from the patient, l can only adj
wise the oil wash very gently applied
while, until the arrival of the doctor,
the body may be loosely wrapped up in
any soft linen sheet that happens to be
handy. Brandy or whisky may be adj
ministered in frequent small doses. In
the absence of the oil mixture described,
vaseline or common sweet oil preferably
the latter, can be applied. "-Nea0 York

Bone-Cutting by Electricity.

Removal OF sections of bone in sur
gical operations has heretofore been a
long, tedious process, effected with a
mallet, chisel, gouges. etc. 1t is, per
haps the most brutal and uuscientirc
method which could he adopted, and
sounds like tie operative butcbery
which existed in the last century.
This has all been reformed 10y an in
yention called the electric osteotome,
saws the London Electrical Engineer,
which is an instrument holding Il circu-
lar saw Mt its extremity, revolyed with
lightning speed by an electric motor,
This. when held against a bone, makes
a c'ean cut through it in a .ew seconds;
in fact, It's action is instantaneous.
Bv holding the osteotome IN slant
ing position, wedge-shaped pieces can
he cut out with equal promputude.
There is no danger OF the saw cutting
the SOFT parts, as they are protected by
a retractor. an instrument which is
passed down and under the bone.

Lots Of Fresh Air.

That's the last time I'll call there"
remarked fashionably dressed lady TO
her escort, as they lett the house of
friend the other day.
Hon is that ?'
because the house is so stuffy one
would actually think that the whole
place was Theoretically sealed, so that
on fresh air was wanted or permitted TO
enter"
such a state of affairs too often exists
in many of our city homes, and disease
IS naturally the result Of the unWisdom
of such a course. In the majority of
homes the best room is usually kept
dark, the doors shut and the blinds
pulled down. After the departure of
tue visitors the room Is busted, the
furniture Strengthened out and the room
shut up until the advent Of another
guest. When visitors are not
frequent, the room may be
aired and busted occasionally. but
seldom rs this done often enough to in
sure the room being healthful and COM
Portable. If guests should happen to
announce their coming in advance, they
might be certain that the room is well
aired for their reception; but when
coming without any notification, they
are ushered into close, stufty room; for
no matter how large the room, Just so
long az 1t is closed up 1t Is sure TO be
stuff. The woman of the house will
not notice the closeness, owing 10 her
being indoors so much. There is moth
ing better to test the purity of room as
gong into 1t dire city from the fresh air.
A room TO be healthiul and comfortable
should be aired each aav.
