Methods OF Moral Discipline.
Samuel Roop, the teacher recently ap-
pointed by the School Directors of Clay
mont to take charge of the school at that
place. says the Pittsburg Commercial
GGIeue. has introduced some novel
methods Uf punishment to control the
wild and unruly boys that come TO him
for instruction. He does not believe in
the use of the rod. but some of his meth
ODDS of punishment are hardly less severe.
He found that the use of profane
language was general among the boys who
attended his school, and he determined
10 put q stop to It. Any boy caught
swearing is now brought up before him.
and after school his mouth Is washed out
with IA sponge and water. and then the
teacher scrapes the swearing tongue with
a knife.
Nearly every night after school closts
Teacher Roop has half u dozen or more
mouths to wash ont and tongues to
scrape, and Jne of the directors says
=" The practice is working we'll and the
new teacher gives satisfaction"

An English invention consists of an
apparatus for ascertaining the contig-
uity of water or gas workings in
mines, and for passing food to impris-
oned miners and for ~rescuing them.
The apparatus for ascertaining the
state of a mine as regards approaching
danger consists of a chamber fitted
with a slide valve, which a be open
ed and closed at pleasure. Through a
stulfing box in the chamber on the
working side passes a boring tool, with
which the miner drills a hole in the
coal to the distance inwards to which
he intends to work. Assuming this
10 be, say, eight feet, when he has
reached that distance he withdraws
the boring tool, and if neither gas nor
water has made its appearance, he
knows that he can safely go in so far.
Should he tap water or gas during the
boring there would be an thrush of
the one or the other into the chamber
Of the apparatus and its presence
would be indicated by n pressure
gauge. The boring tool would then
be withdrawn as far as the stuffing
box, the safety valve would be closed
in front of it, and steps would be taken
to insure safety in the workings.-New

SLEEPING IN CHAIRS.
Strangers Unable to Secure lpdg-
ings in Cheyenne.
The Immigrants Come Here to Work
and Remain.
1t is Next to Impossible to Rent a
Dwelling House.

Between . and 3 o'clock every morning
a LEADER nighthawk makes a final tour
Of the news ceuters. He visits the police
station, hotels, gambling houses and sa-
looms. Every night the reporter meets
IRON ten to twenty-five men looking for
lodgings. They are respectable gentlemen
who have money, but call at hotels only
to be told that all the rooms are occupied.
Yesterday morning the writer talked with
five men who were trying to sleep in
chairs in an all-night saloon because they
we're unable to secure hotel accommoda-
tons.
THIS thing has been going on for three
or four weeks. Old citizens cannot but
mark many strange faces on the streets.
To make assurance doubly some hotel
keepers have been interviewed and nearly
all say that they turn men away almost
every night. Some of the more enthusi-
astic predicted early in the spring that
people would be sleeping on the streets
before the summer was over and unless
som ethipg is done it will come to this.
All OF the strangers come to ACCEPT
situations. or at once secure work. Build

An eminent English dentist pro-
tests against the present extravagant
waste of human teeth by surgeons and
incompetent dentists, and declares that
while there are, maybe, sufficient
reasons for extracting a tooth, it is
never necessary to do SO merely to re-
Geve pain. In at least 90 per cent. of
the cases coming to an active dentist,
pains in the teeth are due to what may
be called primary and secondary tooth
ache. Primary toothache, the pain
Of which is oftener felt in the nerve
terminals in the face than in the tooth
itself, is congestion of the tooth pulp,
and it may be relieved very easily by
careful excavation, sufficient to allow
an escape of blood from thepulp, which
may then be devitalized by an arseni-
cal dressing.
To complete the operation, which
may be postponed for weeks without
further inconvenience, the pulp must
be removed from the root canals and
these filled to the apex. Secondary
toothache, or alveolar abscess, is
caused by gangrene of the pulp, and
is regarded by most surgeons as so Sc
rious as to call for a removal of the
tooth, which, in nine cases out of ten,
might be retained and made useful
and comfortable. The course of treat
ment is an opening to the pulp to re-
lieve the pain, followed by a series of
antisceptic dressings in the roots to
cleanse them from all purescent mat
ter, and then, as in the other case,
filling them to the apex.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

Ii the house is owned by the head or

Each enumerator is supplied with
blanks bearing these printed questions
with spaces TO: answers. He must I'LL
out one for each family, OF, in case OF
unmarried persons, tor each individual.
In filling out his returns the enumerator
must give the number of the house, the
number of the families in it, the number
of persons in it, and the number of per
sons in each family in the order of his
visitation. In cities where there is an
official registration of deaths. the superin-
tendent OF the census may in his discre-
ton withhold the mortality schedule from
the regular enumerators and obtain the
statistics through official records. He
may also employ experts TO gather Stats
tics as to manufactures. mining and other
industries.
The questions, a great many Of them at
least. are of a remarkable personal ma
ture, but men who have blufed newspa
per reporters and have given assessors the
laugh will find that the trainers and ask
ers of those questions are sheltered under
the authority OF Uncle Sam. and are Sc
cured against resentment by certain laws
which will enable them to get the desired
answers
The purpose of the questions is all
right, as it is the means of collecting the
census OF the United States, and the one
redeeming feature of the whole business
is that the questions have to be answered
only once in ten years.
