The Teeth of Negroes.

A southern paper says that the ne
groes are progressing A dental school
for their race has been established in
Nashville. Tenn. It is the first insti-
tuition of the kind in the world A
few years ago negro dentists would
have starved. but now there is q good
prospect for fortunes for them. When
a negro was a slave he had the best
teeth in the world. As soon as he be-
came citizen his teeth began to de-
cay. This is not so much the result of
the imposition of suffrage on our
brother in black rs of his change in
diet and habits. So long as he went
to bed ut dark and lived ON corn bread
and fat meat he was all right. When
he began to indulge in whisky and
sweetmeats his teeth and his character
both commenced to decay.

cago, shrewd handlers of fish are inn
posing on the public. Menhaden. or
pogies, an inferior article, are split
like mackerel and sold for them to un-
suspecting customers. The lining of
the stomach of the pogy is black. and
that of the mackerel is not. Accord
ing to the Grocer the difference will
usually enable the consumer to dis
tinguish between the two kind OF fish.

"A Gas Hammer.

John Bull uses lot of iron in max.
ing tools, but he makes some mighty
SOOd ones sometimes. A Scotch
branch of an English machinery house
has recently bought out gas hammer
which must prove handy in the shop.
Instead Of steam furnishing the motive
power mildly explosive mixture Of
common coal gas and atmospheric air
is employed. It is used to propel the
hammer piston much as in the cylinder
of gas engine. Softer blows are
given by reducing the range of move
ment of the hand-lever, and the force
of the blow can be regulated as easily
and accurately as with the steam ham,
mer. The hammer is that known rs
the three-fourth hundredweight size.
but the ordinary blow struck by it is
equal to the weight Of three hundred.
weight falling through height of one
foot; 5000 blows only use thirty-three
cubic feet of Birmingham gas. which
at Is Cd per 1000 cubic feet. costs ono
penny, or $500 light and heavy blows
can be struck for the same sum. The
hammer is always ready for work at
any moment, day or night, for short or
long periods. and it works for the
same economical rate for one blow rs
for 1000. 1t is only necessary to light
the Dunsen flame, open the gas cock.
and it is ready for action. The ham,
mer is arranged to work with hand
gear, but if preferred it can be arrang-
ed to work with foot gear also. Yam
kee ingenuity has no business to let
cousin John get ahead. We can find
an excellent use for gas hammers

He is quick in the transaction of his
business, and if he spares an hour for
the consideration of any one subject it
must be of more than ordinary inn
portance. He has little communica-
ton with the people about him in
business. His views in regard to all
calculations or operations which he
controls are conveyed through his son,
George j. Gould.
Gould likes the society of his en-
ployes. and is comparatively generous
to them. Men of special ability he has
great admiration for. and fully ap-
preciales their worth. 1t is singular
fact that he very rarely likes to see any,
one in his service grow rich. He
reasons that competency would make
the man Indifferent and independent.
The language used by Gould is plain
hut not ungrammatical. He rarely
uses 4 word of live or six syllables.
and is always clear and to the point.
His manner is refined. and his words,
like his WAYS it might be said are soft
and gentle. Whatever he is. he is re-
trlng.

Medical Advice About Earrings.

There is custom, 4 relic of savage
life, by which the women of our day
seek to add attraction to their beauty
the piercing of the lobe of the ear aud
wearing in the hole some form of or
nament-an earring. This operation
is performed. as a rule, as soon as the
little miss has arrived at the age OF ac-
countability and it is relegated to the
bands of artisans-jewelerS. A piece
of flesh is punched out of the lobe. so
that small canal remains; piece of
string, straw. or anything convenient
that will go through, covered, per-
haps. by grease or vaseline, is pushed
into the hole. The little girl goes
around for week or two with dirty
string or straw in her ear; the
lobe is swollen and looks ugly. but,
never mind. it will add to her beau
ty in the end. The wound may be-
come much indamed, so that an alb
scess of the lobe may take place. aud
when this is cured the ear may be dis
figured for life. Tie lobe may be
shrunken in consequence or the hole
may be too large. This, perhaps. does
not happen, frequentty. but il neyer-

be repaired. if possible. by the sur
geon. Ieisa pity that this operation
cannot be rclegated to surgery. Sur
geons operate daily for cosmetic effects:
why may they not do this? 1t would
be prophylaxis rather than cure. Some
women will insist upon wearing heavy
pendant earrings. These. by their
weight. will enlarge the hole and make
the lobe unsightly. The surgeons
knife has also been required to remedy
this evil. These pendant earrings are
apt to catch in drapery. In this way
the lobe may be torn through. Such
incidents have been known to happen.
1t is gratifying to know that pendant
earrings are less frequently worn now
than formerly. The concensus of
opinion seems to be in favor of those
that lie close to the ear and do not
hang down. A silver leaf or q dia-
mond drop set into the pink of we'll
shaped lobe is ''thing of beauty and
JOY for ever. r."-Medical Classes.

American Dried Fruits.

Within radius of forty miles of Ro-
chester there are more than |. $50 fruit
evaporators. These evaporators give
employment during the Autumn and
Winter to about $4,000 hands, whose
wages average from s. to $l2 a week.
Last season the production of these
evaporators was about 10000, 900
pounds, worth at first cost about S.

Agricultural Department Of the State felt
like encouraging Agricultural publications 1t
seems to us that the Journals which are pub

received some consideration. We have in
our own State good agricultural newspaper

Southern Cultiuator, Of Atlanta, devoted espe.

Exposing Our Frailties.

The physical weak neSseS and frailties Of the
great mass OF humanity have been, until with
In the last few years, regarded as sacred
secret between the patient and the physician.
But the enterprise and the energy Of the pa
tent nostrum vender has set aside, in many
Instances, the we'll established rule. and in.
duced the sick and suffering citizen to lay
hare. and expose to the public, full and min
ute description of the Ills from which he has
been suffering. When man describes the
symptoms which may result from a disease,
the name OF which would scarcely he mention
ed in polite society and then certifies that he
has been cured by swallowing patent medi-
cine which claims TO be specific for that very
disease, we submit that the description OF the
ailment, and the medicine which cured, are
rather suggestive, and especially so in cases
where the public have heretofore regarded
the "cured" man as perfectly healthy in body
and as circumspect in his habits and rs cor
rect In his morals. To hear woman talking
OF taking medicine which is specific for a
secret disease-but which, on general prin
ciples, goes searching round for a job of mis-
cellaneous repairs on the human system-can
not fail to shock the senslbllities.
Without assuming to give anybody advice
on the subject OF exposing their own suffer:
ings, and without doing more than to give O
hint as to the inadvisabllity of publishing no.
tices which may create an erroneous impress
sIon on the mind OF the reader, it might be
well for the certifcate-giver-
First: Not to describe the symptoms which
the medical profession may recognize or pre-
sumo to be the result Of secret diseases;
Second: To ascertain the disease for which
a medicine may claim to be u specific before
certifying 10 its efficacy.
