How to Subdne q Fierce Dog.

A good method of conquering dogs was
exemplifed in the presence of CORES.
pondent who tells the story as follows:
While stopping at a country house the
conversation turned upon the ferocity OF
a dog, half bulldog, half mastiff, that was
chained up in the yard. A small, deli
cate looking man, who was one of the
guests, smiled contemptuously at our
hosts description of the hounds savage.
ness, and offered to bet that he could go
down to the KENNEL; and take a bone
from under his nose. The bet was taken,
and wesall adjourned to the courtyard to
witness the feat.
The small man, who had vanished for
a moment, reappeared and strolled up to
the kennel with his arms outstretched.
The dog rushed at him With open mouth,
then stopped, turned tail and slunk into
his hutch. The man followed, put his
hand inside, pulled the dog out by the
collar, and then, after permitting it to
crawl back, coolly took up bone it had
been enjoying and threw it away without
any protest on the part of the animal.
The secret of his success was that he
had rubbed his hands with solution OF
ammonia. A dog cannot bite without
drawing in its breath, and the inhalation
of this pungent odor was too much for it.
Spirits Of camphor, eau de cologne and
other powerful perfumes of the kind are
said to be almost as effective.

Electricity in Dentistry.

An interesting demonstration of the
possibilities of electrial application in
dentistry Was recently giveu before the
Institute of Medical Electricity in Eng
land. The most remarkable SUCCESS was
attained in the painless extraction of
teeth by electricity. The apparatus used
consisted of a small induction coil with a
vibrating armature 80 high strained by
screw clamps at either end that its vibra.
tions were similar to those of q piano or
violin string. The mode of operation is
as follows: "The patient takes the metal
handles, or electrodes, connected by aex.
ible wires to the coil, one in each hand.
The current is gradually increased until
the electrical capacity of the patient is
ascertained, when it is stopped and con.
nection is maze between the handles of
specially constructed forceps and the
poles of the coil. The current is again
turned on at the moment of applying the
forceps to the tooth, which, under the
circumstances, is extracted without pain.
A further advantage of this application
is that the use of the current is said to
aid materially in checking the hemor-
rhage, which frequently forms 80 dis
tressiug feature of dental operations.
Dentists in this country have not been
,slow,to avail themselves of another ap.
cation swhich is found to be of the utmost
value, the electric drill and mallet. The

Cheap Money.

The people who would be benefited at
first by a change to cheap money are far
mers and others who have property
which is heavily mortgaged, and who
would be thus relieved of portion of
their debt. The case of the farmer who
has been forced to mortgage his farm is
peculiarly hard one. Els condition has
been growing worse and worse yearly,
for many reasons, but chiefly because
most of the things he has had to buy
have been taxed, while the chief pro-
ducts of his farm have not. Ee has been
forced to buy at the higher prices of q
restricted home market, and to sell at the
prices set in the unrestricted market of
the world. A change to cheaper form
of money would give him relief, provided
he were able to pay off his debts at once,
but otherwise his gain would be only in
his ability to pay his interest money in a
cheaper currency. he would suffer, in
common with all others of the hard
working class, from the inevitable evils
attending upon cheap money, with the
dear goods which such money always
brings in its train. Then, too. ,.he would
discover, in case he wished to procure
further loans, that he must obtain them
On gold basis, for the mere hint of the
coming Of cheap currency is sufficient
always to force capitalists into the defen.
sive position of loaning large amounts on
that basis alone. In the end the farmer
would find that his last condition was
worse than his first, and that his very
effort to gain relief through legislation
which promises to make money plenty
had the same result-namely, to put him
more helplessly in the power of men
whose chief business is to speculate in
money.-Csntuy Topics Of the Times.

Fiction and Fact.

There is rarely circumstance or char
acter invented by the imagination that
does not find its parallel in real life. A
year or more ago.a writer, whose name is
familiar to Companion readers, described
In story the adventures and vicissitudes
of an erring lad who ran away from home
to follow the sea. The tale was pure 6c-
!ion, and. the; author invented for his
young sailor 8 name unlike any he had
ever heard.
Soon after the story was published, its
author received q pathetic letter from 8
sorrowiug mother, saying that the sailor
boy Of. the story was her only son, and
begging for his address.
"Tell him." She wrote, "if he will only
come home I will forget and forgive all
the past, am alone in the world, and
if my dear son will but return to me I
shall be happy again"
It was hard to write to this poor
mother that the sailor-boy Of the story,
whose name, adventures and life so close.
ly resembled her sons, was but creature
of the Imagination. -.
"While addressing ajury ina criminal
case Ia few years ago." said salawyer;, 1T
made up the following story to illustrate
the need of GOODNESS and calm Judgment
before condemning man.
"a passenger train was pulling into the
station of small New England town.
The engineer had seen many years of
continuous service on that particular run,
5and had never failed to stop his engine at
a certain point.
"One day great celebration was held
in the town, and when that train came
in, the track ahead of the point where the
engine always stopped was crowded with
people. No one feared being run over,
30 great was the confidence in the engi-
neer's ability to stop the engine at par.
ticular point.
"But alas !! on this day the heavy train
was not stopped, but the engine forced its
way through the dense mass of humanity,
killing and manning score of persons.
At frat the crowd stood aghast, and then
great wave of indignation broke forth
against the engineer who had done this
thing.
"'Hang himl Lynch ehiml they
shouted.
"The engineer stood in the door of his
cab, white and speechless-helpless
against the fury Of the mob"
"'Waitp cried the fireman, "See this +

Knew What he Was About.

At Dalton, Ga, they pointed out an
old darkey who was to be married that
evening, and I took seat beside him on
the depot platform, and said:
"Uncle Reuben, is it true that you are
to be married tonight 2"
"Yes, sab; yes, sab, you's hit it 'zactly
right, sah."
"Were you ever married before ?"
"Why, bress your soul, boy, dis will be
my fo'th wife !"
"How long since your last one died 2"
"Jist free weeks next Saturday"
.Isn't it pretty sudden, when you have
been widower only two weeks 2"
