MAIDEN AND DENTIST.

Amaiden whose nolar was sore
Walked into a tooth-doctor's door;
The tooth was yanked out,
And she Topped with shout
From the soft cushioned chair to tho floor.
The maiden shreked loudly with dread
And shook from her feet 70 her head:
Her blood she thought blue;
The truth now she knew,
For she saw 1t was aHfully red.
The dentist stood taking his ease.
Examined the tooth for disease;
Then he offered his hand
To assist her to steud,
And he said: Fifty cents, IL you please

Preservation OF Nelson's "Yictory."


The Englishman takes but little inter-
est in anniversaries of British victories,
and even the celebration of the Battle of
Waterloo fell into desuetude after the
death of the Duke of Wellington, the
hero of the fight. But the Britisher
clings fondly to the tangible mementoes
of great contests, foremost among which
is the grand old ship, the Victory, which,
has again returned to its moorings in
Portsmouth harbor, having been thor
oughly repaired at a cost OF $50. 600.
The ancient craft is one of the main at
fractions to visitors, representing as she
does style of craft that, although now
obsolete, was once England's pride and
safeguard. There is ring of thorough
patriotism that might be emulated in this
country in the public opinion as voiced
bv the London Chronicle in the follow
ing brief extract: The ship that carried
Nelson into action at Trafalgar, and in
whose cockpit the dying hero heard the
concluding thunders and shoutings OF
the great sea fight, will not be a mere
useless appendage to thespermanent fleet
atanchor at Portsmouth. Salutes will be
fred from her decks, and in cabin ad.
Joining the one occupied by our immor-
tai sea chief courts-martial will be held.
We are glad to think that the Victory is
likely to last another century, conveying
silent but effective lesson to our youth
of martial suggestiveness, and of duty
brayely and splendidly done.-San Fran
cisco Chroaic2e.

A Model Kitchen.

It is possible nowadays, says an
authority, by spending money lavishly,
80 to build kitchen that the most in
genious of servants cannot keep it other
wise than clean. One need not waste
upon her unappreciative soul the costly
tiles with which one lines the bath room,
but may substitute for them the glazed
bricks that are as highly polished, and
that will make the floor, the chimney,
the walls, if desired, and even the cell.
ing, as easy to clean as breakfast plate.
Once built, no whitewasher and no
painter would be needed for such room,
no smoke need cling to its walls for an
instant, and no odor of cooking would be
perceptible in it, even if it were used for
generations. And the temperature Of
such room need not reach the great
height unavoidable with plastered walls,
which permit the warmth of the Chin
ney to be perceptible through their sur.
face, and thus both the good health and
the good temper of the cook would be
maintained. AS for coloring, such a
kitchen may be precisely what one
pleases, for the bricks are made in all
hues, and they may be laid in patterns
or in wide surfaces of one tiut from
floor to ceiling. Lastly, as such room
would be freproof,a sliding or swinging
iron door would so isolate it that no
keresone. quckened fire and no careless
upsetting of lard could bring destruction
to the room itself ofwhich little water
would not clear it.-.Scient5fc american.

A Hon Kiln.

From the fields the hops are carried in
sacks to the kiln, generally near by, says
Waterville IN. W letter to the Detroit
Free Press. A hop.kiln has three rooms,
two on the first floor and one above.
The latter is the drying room, and the
two former are respectively the store
room, where the hops are kept after cur
ing, and the rooms where the fires are
kept going. This is separated from the
drying room above by thin partition
of laths and cotton cloth. In it is a
large stove and series of pipes. The
atmosphere IS kept at about 13O degrees,
and it takes about twelve hours Of this
to dry the hops spread out on the floor
of the drying room. When the doors are
opened in the morning and the hot air
allowed to escape, the green buds OF
yesterday have colored into beautiful
golden brown. There Is difference in
the weight, also for the $500 pounds
that were put in fresh from the vines,
but $50 were taken out. The rest es-
capped through the cowl in the roof.
The work is now almost done, and the
grower has only to bale his hops and
send them to market when it suits his
pleasure to do 80. He watches the quota.
tions carefully, and when in his judg-
ment the price has reached the highest
notch, he sells and takes we'll earned

Ble0d Letting In Pneumonia.

An article in the Medical Record deals
mainly with the results of the recent ex.
periments in pneumonia of the Italian
physician Maragliano, who proposes to
revive the old plan of blood letting when
the heart is on the point of breaking
down.
1t is certain, as the Medical Record says,
t'the management of the affection at the
present day is far from satisfactory"
Pneumonia appears to be an infectious
disease, depending upon the presence OF
micro-organisms. The first practicable
measure for combating it is to promote
the elimination of the poisonous matters
from the blood, which occasion the most
fatal symptom of sudden heart failure
on the patient. Blood letting, judici-
ously practiced at the critical time, re-
lieves mechanically the pressure on the
heart. DR.. Maragliano bled twelve cases
of pneumonia of average gravity, ab.
stracting from five to ten ounces on the
fourth or fifth day of the disease, the
venesection being repeated once. He
found that there was an improvement in
the circulation, the pulse diminishing in
frequency and becoming fuller, and the
twelve cases all recovered. This is
strong evidence of the value of bleed
ing.
The italian physicians plea for the re.
vival of blood letting is that its judici.
Gus employment may save many lives
that otherwise would be sacrificed when
the heart is on the point of being over.

pneumonia patients.

Put to Bed to be ShOd.

There is a horse in the town Of
Sprague belonging to Allen Williams
that has to be put to bed to be shod.
AS blacksmiths do not have beds in theil
shops for the accommodation of such
eccentric animals, Mr.. Williams has to
carry a mattress and pillows to the shor
where the horse is shod. The horse does
not like to 60 to bed, and as it takes good
management to throw him down on to o
mattress, and get him into mood and e
position to have the shoes put on hn
hoofs. few blacksmiths like to undertake
the job. A Norwich man has done the
job repeatedly, and almost always the
horse is driven to this city to have new
shoes put upon him. The horse is thrown
down and held on the mattress by straps
across the body, and his owner insists
on having tne horses head bolstered up
in q comfortable position with two
pillows while the work is being done.
There is not, probably, another horse in
New England that requires mattress
and pillows to be shod upon.-NorDich

Capturing Elk Alive.

The Smith brothers, of Bear River,
passed through town recently with a
two-and-a- halt yesr-old elk of 400
pounds weight, and yearling of 175
pounds. They had been captured when
small, and were therefore quite tame and
domesticated. The party was en- route
to Glenwood, where the animals would
be delivered to Dave Prior at $75 per
head. Quite a crowd assembled about
the wagon as it stopped in front of the
postoffice, where for the first time several
persons viewed this species of Rocky
Mountain wild beast. The Smith boys
have gained considerable notorety for
capturing deer and elk, as not long since
they delivered to gentleman at Sedalia
nine head of elk and fourteen deer.
Their field of operations is on Snake
River and in Egeria Park.-Net0castls

A New Device Of the Trade.

A doorbell of Michigan boulevard
residence was pulled by a woman clad
all in silks and sealskins, with diamonds
flashing from her ears and two or three
gems flashing out through artistically
cut holes in her undressed kid gloves.
The handmaiden who opened the portal
took her in at glance and unhesitat-
ingly admitted her to the luxuriously
furnished parlor when she asked to see
Mrs. -, the lady of the house. When
the lady entered the parlor the woman in
silks and sealskins bowed politely and
SAID: "Excuse me, Mrs. -, but took
the liberty of calling to see whether you
or your husband had any old dresses OF
clothes you would be willing to dispose
of. We pay the highest cash price. "
When the lady of the house had suf-
ficiently recovered herself to make an.
swer she said she had nothing in that
line to dispose of. The woman then
presented her card-the number indi.
eating a second hand emporium in the
heart of the cut-rate clothing district
and politely took her departure. There
are quite few of her about town now,
who go forth every day through the resi-,
dence district attired in manner which
is certain to save them from rebuff al

the trade is dull, the drug clerk has
friends who drop in and sit at the back
of the store, drinking what is marked
distilled water but smells like gin, OF
or some liquor with burnt sugar in il
that smells like some of those empty
bottles that one sees behind bar, and
telling stories. They were talking Of
Judgments" and things, a curious sub.
ject for drug clerks.
~ don't much believe in judgments,
said the drug clerk. II went once out
with party on night trip. We had a
mule and mule-driver, and you know
how a mule. driver can swear. You've
heard of the fellow who wasn't equal to
to the occasion, and the other fellow
who fired off his revolver as the only
possible display that could express his
feelings. They weren't a circumstance
to this mule. driver. There came on
terrific thunderstorm, and the lightning
was playing around very lively. The
mule got scared; but the mule-driver
was equal to the occasion, and he even
addressed strong language to the sky.
He was blasphemous indeed. One OF
the party was Quaker. He remon.
strated with the mule-driver. He asked
him if he wasn't afraid the lightning
would strike him. There was big tree
close by; but the Quaker preferred to
keep out in the open and stand the rain
rather than risk the tree.

The HOuse-Fly,

This domestic pest, the certain accom-
paniment of all unclean housekeeping,
is an imported insect, having been
brought into this country from Europe
at some indefinite time in the past. II
is common during the warmer parts Of
the year and hibernates as adult, or per!
feet fly, during the winter. In warmer
regions it may be active throughout the
year.
Packard states that it breeds in August
about stables, the eggs being placed in
horse. dung. Other writer's state that it
breeds freely in other kinds of filth
about houses and out-buildings, and by
devouring it prevents to great degree
that contamination of the air that pro
duces epIdemics of diseases.
The eggs hatch in about twenty.foul
hours after they are LAID; the larva sheds
its skin twice, and in about week il
pupates. 1t lies dormant in the pups
state for six or seven days more, when
the perfect fly appears:
One of its parasites in this country is
q small red mite, which fastens itself on
its body, generally near the wings. In
Europe it is infested by small Chalcid
fly. 1t is also attacked by fungous
disease which causes it to swell and be-
come mouldy. Flies that have died
from the effects of this disease, are Of
ten found sticking to walls and window
panes, surrounded by white cottony
mass, as described in previous article.
However, the best means of being free
from annoyance are to keep the house
and surroundings as clean as possible,
leave no scraps of food or other tempt
ing morsels about to attract them, and
remove all filth to a distance.-Prairie
