Tooth Pulling by Electricity.

Boston people nowadays have their su-
perfuous teeth drawn by means of cleo
tricity. Inasmuch as all new ideas in the
arts and sciences are spread from this en-
Hghtened metropolis originally, and from
hence extended 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 be-
yond an ordinary two cell battery, with
vibrator attachment. This attachment is
thin strip of metal, fastened at the ends,
which is made to vibrate thousand or
more times per second by the electric cur
rent. At each vibration the circuit is cut
of and renewed again, the effect being to
give perfectly steady flow Of the mys-
terious fluid. In order to make sure that
the flow Is quite satisfactory the operator
tunes the machine assisted by little
reed tuning pipe-until the strip of metal
sings "a" 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 for
ceps. The patient In the chair is given q
handle to hold in each hand, and the cur
rent is turned on gradually until it be-
comes painful Then ne is told to grasp
the handles as strongly as possible, the
electricity-having been switched off for
q moments turned on again suddenly,
and the dental surgeon applies his forceps
simultaneously to the tooth. The instant
the molar is touched, it, as well as the
parts surrounding, becomes electrified and
absolutely insensible to pain. When it is
withdrawn from the socket, the subject
of the operation feels not the slightest
disagreeable sensation A jerk and the
tooth is out, the patient drops the handles
and the affair is over.-Boston Cor. Globe

Fancy LeatherS of Commerce,

The morocco leather of commerce is
either goat or sheep skin. Goat skins
are treated differently from the skins
which make the thicker leather, being
tanned with sumac. and all thicknesses
of the leather being used. The skins of
wool bearing animals, like the sheep, are
commonly soft and spongy. and therefore
unsuitable for shoes designed for rough
wear, so the sheep skins are generally
used for facings and Innings. For our
sheep skins we are indebted to Australia
and South America, and they come to us
by the way of England, where the wool
is taken from them and the skin shipped
to us as raw material. The various fancy
feathers, such as alligator, seal and the
like, are very often sheep and goat
leather stamped ahd pressed to initiate
the genuine article, and kangaroo leather.
SO far from gracing the back of the
kangaroo, generally has no higher origin
than the Spanish donkey.-Globe- Dem

Some Things to Remember.

have been told, even in cultivated, in
cellectual circles, that a young woman
had better be in the kitchen or laundry
than in the laboratory or class room of q
college. Women should be trained, +"
such persons say, ''to be wives and
mothers. The finger of scorn has been
lightly pointed at the mentally cultivated
mothers and daughters who are unable to
cook and scrub. who cannot make mince
pie or plum pudding. Such persons for
get with surprising facility all the cases
of women who neglect the kitchen to in
dulge in the love sick sentimentality to
to which they have been trained; who
think too much Of possible matrimonial
chances to endanger them by scrubbing,
or by giving ground for the suspicion that
they cultivate any other faculty than the
power to apostrophize the moonlight and
to long for lover. They do not care to
remember that it is no whit better to
wither under the influence of ignorance
or sentiment. to cultivate fondness for
''gush, thau to dry up the sensibilities
like book worm. or grow rigid and prig
gish as pedant.
It is as bad to stunt human nature as
to over stimulate ito stop it's progress
in one way as in another The danger Is
in going to extremes. The mass of men
choose the golden mean, and we may
trust women to avoid extravaganza in the
pursuit of learning. We may and ought
to give her every help in the direction Of
life that her brothers possess. It is no
longer doubtful, it is plain, that what
ever other rights woman should have,
those Of the intellectual kingdom ought
to be hers fully and freely. She should
be the judge herself of how far she should

What Self Binders Have Done.

The self binder was first successfully
attached to the reaper in 1875; from 1867
to 1876 inclusive our average crop of
wheat, varying more with the season than
with the planted area, had been 25S, ,O00,
600 bushels. In 1877, when the self
binder first began to be used, the crop
mounted to nearly 1854, 900, 900 bushels.
Again, in 1S7S it mounted up, and from
that date to 1887 inclusive, in which
period the use of the self binder had be-
come general, the average crop, varying
more with the season than with the
planted area, was 44O,000,000 bushels.
Could the crops of the last ten years have
been saved without the self binder?
When we consider that the total number
Of self binding reapers now made and
sold is more than 100000 year. requir-
ing over 3d. 900 tons of twine to bind q
single wheat crop, do we not find in the
tying of that knot on the self binding har-
vester main factor in the export Of
grain with the returning import of gold
on which we resumed specie payment
By that single Improvement the cost Of
wheat was reduced not less than per
cent, and in some places 10 per cent

EXPERIENCE.

The world was made when a man was born.
He must taste for himself the forbidden springs;
He can never take warning from old fashioned
things.
He must fight boy, he must drink as youth,
He must kiss, he must love, he must swear to the
truth
OF the friend Of his soul; he must laugh to scor1
The hint of deceit in a woman's eyes
That are clear as the wells of Paradise.
And so he goes on till the world grows old,
Till his tongue has grown cautious, his heart has
grown cold;
Till the smile leaves his mouth and the ring leaves
his laugh.
And he shirks the bright headache you ask him
to quaff
He grows formal with men and with women po-
lite,
And dstrustful Of both when they're out Of his
sight
Then he eats for his palate and drinks for his
head,
And loves for his pleasure, and it's time he
were dead,

Afraid of q White Cat.

As for himself, the old engineer says
that he is not at all superstitious, but he
knows men who are handling the throttle
on the Bee Line who regard it as bad
omen to see white cat cross the road in
front of an engine in the night time.
"You may think it is extremely foolish"
said he, but there is man in charge OF
passenger engine on this line that can
never be induced to make time after hav-
ing seen a white cat cross the track at
night. Such thing does not happen
very often, but he claims that it never
fails to be the forerunner of some bad
luck, not necessarily to his train, but
somewhere along the line. After seeing
the white cat he always feels his way
along, as it were, and gives as an excuse
for his failure to work up to the schedule
that his engine would not make ste I'M
rapidly enough. The other engineers are
on to him, but they never joke him about
1t, as he is extremely sensitive. Globe

Talking about the early days in CALI
fornia, there was an old fellow down In
the country who was the first senator to
60 to the legislature from his district.
His district was rural one, and there
were no houses-only cabins there-rough
wooden cabins, with nails for hat racks
and rope for wardrobe and a cracked
looking glass for dressing table. He
went to Sacramento, and when he got
back the entire district came in to eau
upon him, and he gave them wonderful
account Of the magnifcence of civilization
In the capital of the state.

The Commodore's Chief Concern.

Commodore Vanderbilt was driving one
day in Harlem lane, and as usual took the
road, turning out for nobody. A very
fast team came behind him, and the
driver called on him to give room. Van
derbilt urged his horses forward and
went straight on, believing he could not
be passed. The other wagon dashed by,
taking him on the wheel and throwing
him out on his head. He was picked up
insensible. It was feared at first that his
neck might be broken. But he recovered

anxious bystanders: did any of you

Wine is the fermented juice Of the
grape, and is distinguished from other
fermented and alcoholic liquors by con-
tanning bi.tartrate of potash, constitu-
ent of the grape. Blackberries, currants,
and other berries, by fermentation, will
yield wine, but the name Of the berries
from which obtained is always appended
to the vinous product. When the term
wine alone is used the fermented Juice Of
the grape is signifed, and anything else
Is misnomer. The numerous varieties
Of wine are occasioned by difference Of
soil, climate, season, and by the kind,
quality and condition Of the grapes as to
rfpeness, the mode Of fermentation, and
by the manner and temperature at which
the wine is preserved, and by its age.
The strong wines, such as sherry, port
and Madeira, are made from grapes
that are thoroughly ripened, and which,
on account Of containing large amount
Of sugar, yield, when fermented, greater
amount of alcohol, which will range be-
tween IS and % per cent. Claret contains
about 10 per cent. and champagne about
10. Sweet wines, like tokay, are made
from grapes so ripe that they are almost
shriveled up to raisins, and therefore con-
tain much sugar, and the fermentation Is
arrested before all the sugar is converted
into alcohol, which will hardly reach 10
per cent. Champagne is bottled before
the fermentation has ceased, and hence
some of the carbonic acid resulting from
the fermentation is retained in the wine,
to be given off only when the bottle Il
opened. It is, perhaps, not too much to
say that most wines exported from Euro
pean wine countries are adulterated.-

And so, still holding her hands against her pool broken heart, she went out of the house, out of Boisingham, and of touch and knowl- edge of the world. These two were, though she knew it not, once and once only, fated to meet again, in after years, and under circum- stances sufficiently tragic, but the story of that meeting does not lie within the scene of this history. To the world Belle was dead, but there is another world of sickness, and sorrow, and sordid unchanging misery and shame, where the lovely face of Sister Agnes moves to and fro like a ray of Gods own light, and there those who would know her must go to seek her.
 Poor Belle! Poor, shamed, deserted wo- man! She was an evil doer, and the fatality of love and the rush of her quick blood, and the unbalanced vigor of her mind, which might, had she been more happily placed. have led her to all things that are pure, and true, and of good report, had combined to drag her into shame and misery. But the evil that she did has been paid back to her in full measure, pressed down and running over. Few of us need to wait for place of punish ment to get the due of our follies and our sin Here we expiate them. They are with us day and night, about our path and about our bed, scourging us with the whips of memory, mocking US with empty longing, and the hopelessness of despair. Who can escape the consequence of sin, or even of the misfortune which led to sin2 Certainly Belle did not, nor did Mir. Quest, nor even that fierce hearted harpy who haunted him to his grave.

 "What is the meaning of all this, Belief" he said
 "'Sister Agnes,' you must call me now," she said, taking her hands from her face. "The meaning of it is that have left the world and entered sisterhood, which works among the poor in London, and that I have come to bid you farewell, a last farewell"
 He stared at her in amazement. He did not find it easy to connect the idea of this beauti- full, passionate, human, loving creature with the cold sanctuary of sisterhood. He did not know that it is natures like this, whose very greatness and intensity is often the cause of their destruction, when they come in adverse contact with laws which are fitted to the av- craze of their race, that are most capable of these strange developments Tho man or woman who can really love and endure-and they are rare-can also, when their passion has utterly broken them, turn to climb the stony paths that lead to loves antipodes
