CHLoRoFoRM AGAINST DYNAMO.

To The Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Now that the cyclone Of emotion consequent on
the recent electric execution has moderated. we may
possibly listen TO the still small voice of Professor
Burt q. Wilder. Of Cornell, which has been gently
sounding UNDECIDED for the last ten years
The human mind seems to be so constituted that the
unearthly and impossible have far more attraction
than the faclle and practicable.
Professor Wilder has persstenty called public at
tention 20 the fact that corofOrm furnishes cheap
and absolutely certain. a, well as painless means OF
causing death The only reason apparent for neglect
Ing the consideration of this substitute for hanging
would seem 10 be its simplicity and undenlable
efficiency.

Siadnm Wanted Her Tooth Pulled With

She was mature woman, with high
check bones, a dapplcd face and red
hair says the Chicago Herald. Fling
ing aside her bonnet she got up into the
dentists chair, leaned hor head back,
opened her mouth, and pointed to a
tooth on the lower jaw
81 wish you'd see what is the matter
with that grinder" she said
'Ycs, ma'am," replied tho dentist, in
sympathetic tone. '.Has it been hurt

BEG pardon, ma'am. inferred-''
We'll, You don't need to infer any

''The tooth, madam" he said, after
4 brict examination, sis a nero shell.

What occasion is there for YOU 20 Se-
greet any thing? Whose grinder is tip"
Il was going to say it is too late to
save the tooth. 1t is too far gonc. If

well, that's what I'm hero for.''
ut will he hard to get hold of with
the forccps and am sorry to say it will

Does it hurt you to pull custom

'Of course not, but"
well, then, you needn't feel sorry.
l am here Oh business. l don't need
any sympathy. Yank it out.'
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS tooth artist
wasted no more words. He produced q
pair of ugly-looling forceps and ex-
tractcd tho offending molar without de.

Whats your bill?' inquired tho
woman.

That's the regular price, is it.?
You're not charging any thing for SYM

1T is the regular price, madam"
Here's the money. Good-dayr
After she had gone out of his Office
tho dentist went and sat down by the

he watched her striding down the
street, II could be an alderman and

A Novel wedding journey.

A novel method Of spending honey
moon has recently been added to the
list of unique wedding journeys in
coaches, on households or yachts. A
young Viennese bridegroom procured
for the trip a new furniture van with
three horses and driver. The interior
he fitted up in most daintily luxuriant
way with every comfort and convenience
dear to the feminine heart. Just how
the light was supplied is not easy to
conjecture, for the ordinary furniture
van has no windows. Possibly electrici-
ty may have diffused its soft radiance
from depending globes of roseate hue,
or the isolated lovers may have lived
only in the soft light of each others
eyes. The cooking problem would also
arise to any ono but lovers, bat whether
the driver united the culinary art with
that of handling tho reins, or whether
the young woman herself was cooking
school graduate is not known. ANY
way, tho pair expect to spend a two
months honeymoon at cost of little
more than 500 month, rambling about
the country in their own private con-
veyance, with buffet accomm odations.

INTELLIGENT RATS.
They Open Olive on Bottles and Help
ThemseIves LavlshIy.

themselves Lavlshly.
II want you to look at TINT bottle"
said druggist to Doylestown pal
Democrat reporter the other day. Tho
bottle held up for inspection contained
u half-pint of olive oil-its full capacity
and had been manufactured with an
unusually narrow neck, measuring, per-
haps, four inches in length.
whats the matter with it?, asked tho
customer.
There's nothing the matter with the
bottle, but do you see where that cork
lisp"
'Ycs, it's about halfway down the
neck"
''Well, that's what thcre is peculiar
ABOUT 1T, and here's another" continued
the druggist, producing second bottle,
with tho cork pushed almost into the
Oil. Now, how do you suppose those
corks got into that positionP"
Somebody pushed them down, of
course"
mo. sir; know you will never guess,
so l may as we'll tell you. Those corks
were forced down the necl1s of the bot
ties by rats. That may sound pretty
stiff when you consider that rats leg
is scarcely long enough to reach down
to where that cork is, but it's fact.
we found our olive oil bottles opened
and the contents spilled around the cell
lar, and it was a long time before we
caught on to how it was done. 1t was
picnic for the rats. They would go over
to the grocery store across the street,
I'LL up on cheese, and when they felt
the need of a laxative come into our
cellar and take dose of oil. One of
them even moved the lid off big box
containing bottles Of oil packed in
straw,and had bottle half open when we
discovered him. A stone weighing about
ten pounds had been placed on the lid
OF the box, but he managed to get it out
OF the way. You will notice these bot
ties were originally bound with husl,
and the cork securely tied down and
then covered with bladder. The rats
first gnaw off the bladder cap and then
work on the cork until it is about a
quarter of an inch thick. Then begins
the mysterious work of forcing them in
to the oil. After the cork is out of the
way they overturn the bottle and pro-
coed to enjoy tho contents"
The customer went down cellar with
the proprietor, saw the box referred to
and inspected the bottle that had been
operated upon. Putting q pencil into
