"A NEW AID TO DENTISTRY.

A beautiful maid

in ''The Mikado." She was telling about a
capital punishment which she had wit
messed, and her declaration that the doomed
man, just before losing his head, gazed upon
her pretty face for courage, was always taken
as Gilbert phantasy. But the idea is
aetu ally put into practical use in the largest
Of New York establishments where teeth are
extracted under laughing gas. 1 have been
there two or three times, and have watched
this feature of the business with amused in
terest.
"Now. as you may already know, laugh
ing gas renders the patient oblivious but not
insensible. He feels all that is done to him,
and often make lot of fuss about it, but
upon awakening he can recall nothing that
has happened. 1t is when the "man's
afraid" that the beautiful maid" is placed
before him as "a cheering sight to see" In
other words, while the strong-armed dentist
stands at one side of the victims chair. with
the gasbag ready for him to breathe out of
a girl with an amiably pretty face takes a
position close to the opposite arm. She
gazes alphabetically yet smilingly into his
face. She isn't coqUettish about IT. 1t NAV be
described as a sort of cousinly smile-that
Is, somewhere between a sisterly grin and
an ogle with no tie of consanguinity about
it. As the man breathes in the gas and loses
his senses, the last fading vision is that OF
the girls encouraging face. The practical
value of this device lies in the fact-and
have this on the authority of the boss of the
place-thst goodly proportion of the pa
tients would become obstreperous and vio-
lent while under the influence of the gas
but for the effect of the girls presence.
That may seem like nonsense, but in prac-
tice 1t proves to be good sense. When the
man swakes he finds that his guardian an
gel is still there, and be departs feeling, I
suppose, that she has taken deep and poig-
nant interest in his particular case.

An officer with a hide would then Law
on the prescribed number of lashes.
Doubtless some of the colored pocketbook
snatchers whose faces are familiar in the Grim
inal Court would prefer to take the lash as then
prescribed than the penitentiary terms of the
present day.
During the administration Of President Pierce
his niece and a lady friend in walking near ST.
johns church were stopped by man, who
robbed her of her satchel. The man was very
bright, and supposed to be a white man, but on
being arrested 1t turned out that he was a slave
belonging to a man in Virginia. The sentence
was to be whipped with thirty lashes. to be laid
on the bare back. friend of the ladies was
present at the trial, and desired to see the pun
ishment inflicted, and was asked to walk in the
cell room. His feelings had been so worked up
over the case that he took out $50 gold piece
and said to the officer, Z" Whip him well and I'll
give you this money" The victim was fastened
to the door, and a stout built officer laid on
several blows raising the skin, counting them
as he did so, and when the blood commenced to
flow the gallant major, turning pale and almost
fainting, cried, "Hold; that is enough" Thus
the convict escaped his punishment here, but
when he was taken back to his Virginia master
he was doubtless dealt with more severely. Al
though the major had before been democrat
he became subsequently an adherent to the
northern wing Of the party-a disciple Of
Stephen A. Douglas.
BUYING AND SELLING WIVES AND HUSBANDS.
Slave holding was not confined to the white
race exclusively, for there are a number of
instances in which husbands bought the freedom
OF their wives and wives that Of their husbands.
Some cases are remembered where the slave
holding wife found q much easier way to re-
gain freedom from an Objectionable husband
than appealing to the courts-by selling to the
dealer or q new master. A likely free colored
woman found a matrimonial alliance with one
who appeared to be as likely and industrious a
man as could be found. She thereupon ar
ranged for his purchase and raised 1900 for
the purpose, and the bill Of sale was made to
her. This fact proved too much for the hus-

Better Horses for Farmers.

Most good farmers are shrewd
enough IN business to know that
they cannot afford to work poor or
inefficient horses. The poor horse
IS worse by far than a poor tool. 1t
ough, to work daily, for it costs
something to keep it every day in
the5ear Many old horses past
their prime are kept by farmers at
greater cost than good horses
would be. They have to be heavily
grained all the time to do, perhaps,
oue.halfas much work as a young
er horse would IN their place. The
team never works alone. 1t is
inefficient it lessons the efficiency
of whoever works with it. Ef-
fciency in farm work is the prac-
teal test on which value depends.
