Cured of a DeIusion.

THAT is a leer freak" said one Of
the newspaper men when the women
had departed, ''but / knew of a case
stranger than that. 1t happened in
my own family, and the victim of the
hallucination was my uncle. He was
a farmer and a wealthy man. When
the war broke out he enlisted and
fought bravely to the end. He had not
been home six months when the
strange fancy seized him that there
was a small drum secreted in the top
of his head and that he would never
more have peace. He was sent to a
private insane asylum. Except for this
peculiar idea he was apparently as
sane as you or /, and his conversation
on any topic but this was rational.
Finally the physicians hit upon a happy
idea. They told my uncle that they
would perform a surgical operation
and take the drum out. So they had
a miniature drum made, and one of
them kept it in the palm of his hand
where the patient could not see it.
They then cut the scalp on the top OF
his head until blood came, and the
physicians pretended to draw out the
drum through the top of his head,
stitching the wound after doing so.
My uncle was cured the minute he
saw the drum. "-MiL1Oaatbe Sentinel.

Why Teeth Decay.

Decay of the teeth (caries) is exceed
ingly common. especially so among
civilized people. The lack of power
to resist this disease may be due to the
depression of vital vigor through over
taxing the nervous system or through
sedentary habits and luxurious living.
In this, as in other matt RS, there are in
herited tendencies, and the children of
those whose teeth decay early them
selves suffer the same evil.
But what is the immediate cause of
dental decay? A paper on the subject
was read by DR.. George S. Allen, OF
New York, before meeting of the
dental union, lately held in Boston.
According to this paper, the credit
of solving this question belongs to
DR.. w. d. Miller, an American residing
in Berlin, Germany. The solution is
found in the germ theory, which has
already settled the origin of so many
infectious diseases.
The microscopic germs, which are
called bacteria, the smallest of organic
ed beings, so small that it takes 100000
of them placed lengthwise to measure
an inch, belong to the plant family.
They multiply both by division and by
the formation of spores. The spores,
which correspond to seeds, have great
vitality, and are unaffected by the
temperature that would destroy the
parent plant. The multiplication by
division is exceedingly rapid.
Thus the total eradiction of the
germs is almost out of the question,
and in even a short time, if the pest is
neglected, it becomes difficult to limit
the harm they can do. That harm
may be effected either by the growth
of the bacteria at the expense of the
cells of the body or more probably,
perhaps, by developing a poison in
their waste products.
1t must be remembered, however,
that many kinds of bacteria are per-
fectly harmless, while it is possible
that some aid in the vital processes OF
the organism.
The mouth is infested by several
forms of innocent bacteria. The saliva
is never free from theIa. Therefore. in
order to ascertain if dental carries ID
due to bacteria, most rigorous tests
were necessary. The bacteria must be
found in the decayed matter of the
teeth; be isolated from cry other
kind; cultivated outside of the body,
and the pure cultivation must prof"""
a similar carries when introduced into
a healthy tooth, and this carries must
show the same form of bacteria.
DR.. Miller's experiments have con-
formed to these tests. He found bac-
terra filing the tubules of the decayed
teeth; obtained pure cultures from
them, and, placing the latter in tubes
with pieces of sound teeth, the micro
scope in from two to four weeks show
ed a similar carries, and the tubules
distended with similar bacteria.

EngIard's Debt to Arnold and Ruskin

The middle classes in the country
and in the towns, and even large por-
tions of the laboring classes, have in
every direction manifested their desire
for the acquisition of the higher fruits
of culture, and have made heard their
claim to share in the birthright which
previously had been assigned but to
the few. Nay, the strength of the
movement has been so great, its inn
petus has been so powerful and rapid,
that, as is so often the case, it may tenn
porarily have overshot its proper
mark, and landed in the district that
lies beyond the boundaries of sincerity
and moderation, the sphere of the
grotesque and ridiculous. Yet we may
venture upon the paradox that no
movement is really progressing unless
it can be occasionally laughed at, that
no social orpolitical innovation can be
made unless the rapidity of its advance
has been occasionally checked in a
salutary degree by the powerful pages
of that important teacher Punch. Amid
the numerous causes which might be
adduced for the consummation of this
great change in English life the direct
efforts of individual men must be noted,
and among these / hold that no two
have been as efficient in their work as
Matthew Arnold and Ruskin.- DR..

Prjevalsy's Death.

An interesting account is given of
the last hour of Prjevalsky, the Rus
sian explorer and annexation intrigu-
err" by his comrade, Mr.. Robarowsky.
Knowing that death was inevitable, he
made some final arrangements, and
asked whether he would live till the
morning. Being treasured by the
doctor on this head, he remarked:
''Then the rest tomorrow; we will
send kilograms. One request only; do
not forget that desire strenuously to
be buried on the banks of Issik Koul,
in the full costume of the expedition.
Let them photograph me for my fam
lily, with the Lancaster gun, which l
leave to Robarowskv." Prjevalsky
then told the doctor not to hide from
him the approach of death, which he
feared not at all, having often enough
been face to face with death before.
"He scolded u.s." says Robarowsky,
sand called US women-folk, when be
saw US with tears in our eyes" Next
day he was delirious. He became
stronger, and had brief lucid intervals.
Suddenly he sprang out of bed and
stood upright, supported by those
present. After remaining thus for
few moments he said: ''Now [ am go
ing to lie down." He was helped
back to bed, sighed deeply several
times and died.

Chinese Disguised as Squaws.

The smuggling of Chinese men and
women from British American into
the United States is a lucrative business
atvarious points along the border from
Vancouver to Winnipeg. If the venture
fails at one place it is renewed at
another, and sooner or later the pill
grims get in. A new trick just dis
covered at Whatcom, w. T., has al
most taken away the breath of the
Federal officials, for they know that it
must have been successful for a time.
The large number of squaws coming
into the country from British Columbia
finally attracted the attention of an Of
fetal, and he took party of them to
Jail. On close inspection it was found
that the creatures were not squaws at
all, but able-bodied Cinnamon who had
painted and otherwise disguised them
selves so as to resmble the typical
Indian squaw on the frontier. In one
instance two young and rather comely
Chinese women came across in the
garb of American women. but closely
yelled. An ungallant official lifted
their wells and found them out. These
girls were billed through to San Fran
cisco, and were worth TO their owner
about 81, 900 apiece.
