Electrical Tooth.PulHng.

".le extraction of teeth by clectricit" has excited .a good deal of interest ard some curiosity has been expressed as to how the operation is performed This is simplicity itself. When the patient takes hold of the handles of the battery the current is gradually increased in in- tensity until the patient can bear no more, then while the forceps are being introduced the current is turned off for second and on again. The rest is the same as without electricity The ques- tion; Why is it that electricity pre- vents pain?' was recently ingcniously answered by Dr. Arthur Harries. He said: Electricity travels over the nerve at the rate of 42O vibrations a second: pain travels from the tooth to the brain in one-siytieth of second. My theory is that the electricity, being somuch quicker and havinr the gr,atrr force behind it, gets to the brain first and then keeps the line for itself. crowding out the pain"

AGED BUT ACTIVE,
An Old Lady Who Netted Six Thousand
 Dollars from Her Knitting,

'A'''f ASh
 Not long ago Dr. Peables, of Auburn, while making a professional call at the residence of Charles HolbroolI, a promi- ncnt farmer of North Auburn, learned of the remarkable story of an aunt of Mir. llolbrook, whose death occurred some weeks ago, says the Lewiston (Mc) Journal, The aunt's name was Mary Holbrook, and at her decease at the age of ninety-three, she was a widow living in the town of IIolbrook, Mass She was the mother of twenty three children and but three were liv- ing at the date of her death. She never weighed over one hundred pounds, and in her last days did not weigh over ninety. When seventy-five years of age she began to knit tidies, to while away the time more than anything else, and it was not long until she had over )nc hundred as the result of her work.
 She did not knit the tidies especially for the market, but one day her son took few samples to Boston, where he found ready sale for them at Whit ncy'S store, on the corner of Fremont md Winter streets. The tidies seemed to strike Mir Whitney's customers very tavorably, and he was obliged to find he old woman in llolbrook and secure for his store all the tidics she had. Not 1nly this, but he arranged with her to take all she could make at good fig ure. She soon found, however, that she could not begin to fill the order, for a certain class of Customers at the Hub" had a regular craze for them. So what did Mrs lLolbrook do but en- gage several old ladies in the ncighbor- hood to do the coarSer parts of the work, filling in the finer parts with her own hands. "In this way" says the writer of Mrs Holbrooks obituary, from her scvcnty-ffth to her rinetieth year, fif- teen years, she netted six thousand dol Ears from the sale of her tidies, upon which fully one-half of the work was done with her own hands. How many ladies over whose silver hairs so many winters have kindly passed can show such a record of almost wonderful pa tlence and perseverance, we wonder"
