4 Dentists Rema rkable Actions Due to

A correspondent sent the following let

Health:

which it occurred to me might be of interest to
TOUR readers. You are doubtless familiar with
a process in dentistry known the implanta-
ton OF teeth. which is simply substitution of
natural tooth in place of lost one. either in
It's vacant cavity or, as in some instances, by
Insertion in new and artificially formed one.

upon its possessor was something eXtraordl-

change, and by no means for the better.
Instead of his wonted energy and devotion

about the house during the day time, selecting
the sofa. divan, easy chairs or even the hearth
rug as temporary dormitory, where he would
lie for hours together in kind of stupor. But
no sooner would the night appear than he was
all alert. manifesting great disquletude and
desire to roam abroad, particularly in the
neighboring back yards, displaying great abil-

ROME, March l6.-The Popolo Romano,
referring to the New Orleans tragedy,
says that, relying on the foresight of the
American authorities. and out of regard
for a sincerely ri ndly power, Italy has
refrained from sending an iron clad to the
mouth Of the Mississippi
News of the massacre of the Italian pris-
oners IN New Orleans did not become gen
orally known until this morning. 1t Gre
ated profound sensation The general
feeling is one Of the utmost Indignation
and thirsts for reprisals IN some form. An
English visitor, who was mistaken for al
American, had a narrow escape from being
mobbed. In talk on the streets and in
public places strong protests were uttered
against any representation of Italy
at the coming American exhibition at Chi
cago. In tie chamber of deputies today
Marquis DiRudini, premier replying to a
question on the New Orleans tragedy, said
that President Harrison recognized the
right OF Italians in the United States to
protection, and had expressed profound re-
gret at the occurrence and charged the
governor of Louisiana to guard the Italian
residents of New Orleans and bring the
assassins to justice.

The Discovery of Gold.

In the spring of 1S4S San Francisco, a
village Of about 700 inhabitants, had two
newspapers, The Californian and The Cali
fornia Star, both weeklies. The first
printed mention of the gold discovery was
short paragraph in the former, under
date of the 18th of March, stating that d
gold mine had been found at Suffers Mill.
and that a package of the metal worth
thirty dollars had been received at New
Helvetia Five weeks later The Star an
nourced that its editor, E. G. kemble, was
about to take trip into the country, and
on his return would report his observa-
lions. He went to Coloma, and either saw
nothing or understood nothing of what he
saw, for he preserved absolute silence in
his paper about his trip.
On the Goth of May. after a number of
men had left San Francisco for the mines,
he came out with the opinion that the
mines were 'sham," and that the people
who had gone to them were ''superlatively
silly" The increasing production of the
mines soon overwhelmed the doubters, and
before the middle of June the whole terri
tory resounded with the cryo gold! gold!l
gold!II" as it was printed in one of the
local newspapers. Nearly all the men hur-
ried off to the mines. Workshops, stores,
dwellings, wives and even fields of ripe
grain were left for time to take care of
themselves.-John S. Hittell in Century

From time immemorial dancing has
formed one of the chief amusements of
mankind. Repeated mention is made of it
in Holy Writ, and among the ancient
Egyptians it constituted a very prominent
and popular religious rite. Without
doubt the Israelites gained their knowI-
edge of it during the days of their captiv-
ity in the land of the Pharaohs. The
Greeks of the oIden time INDUCED in war
dances, chief among which was one that
became famous under the name of the
Pyrrhic dance. In this the dancers depict
ed the actions of a warrior engaged in do
ing battle, the quick and agile movements
being made TO the accompaniment of e
flute. There were, we are told, 200 differ
ent dances in vogue among these Greeks.
In ancient Rome dancing was one of the
chief features of the magnificent fetes for
which the empire became so famous.-De-
troit Free Press.

Danger in Well Lighted Room.

The occupants of every room should take
into consideration that the amount of air
rendered impure by the lungs and the skin
of each person has been estimated to be a
little over three cubic feet per minute, and
that every gas light or lamp consumes a
quantity of oxygen, and throws off its
poisonous carbonic substances, which,
when the air is motionless, must be taken
into the lungs, and with their sickening
influences scattered broadcast through the
entire system. Because you cannot smell
anything disagreeable in the air which you
breathe is no safe test for its quality, for
custom breeds a habit" and habit leads
to tolerance, and where tolerance is estab-
lished the olfactory nerve has been be-
numbed, and the atmosphere, although
reeking with filth, is no longer offensive to
one accustomed to its smell
Becoming habituated to any deleterious
odor does not insure immunity from COLI
tagious ills, as many are in the habit of be-
lieving, and if they do not affect the breath
er's health Immediately, that they are not
the less injurious There is no human con-
stitution that will not prematurely sink
by continually inhaling foul and con-
taminated air. The time of endurance de-
ponds of course upon the strength of the
individual, yet no one of any intelligence
will doubt that diseased conditions will
certainly follow a prolonged state of lung
starvation.-Hall's Journal of Health.

Terrible Effect of BAD Air.

At every moment of the human life the
air which we breathe goes coursing through
the most delicate and sensitive of the
wonderfully constructed organs of the
human system to purify and reinvigorate
the vital currents of life. But what if the
purifier shall itself be unclean and laden
with the seeds of pollution? Having once
done its work, and come forth tainted
and FOUL what if it shall again and
again be called to perform the task for
which it is no longer fitted? The natural
and inevitable deduction is not far to
reach; the blood is no longer purified, but
it goes coursing through the body, the
source of disease and corruption, instead
of being the fountain of pure, perfect
healthfulness.
Other organs, by sympathy or by direct
contagiOn, become affected. The magma
ton is too often Influenced as well, antici-
patton conjures W dire evils, and the suf-
ferer who is now in such earnest, flies from
one 'sblood purifier" or ''tonic' to another,
gaining, perhaps, temporary and ques-
tionable relief at the expense of system
loaded with poisonous and harmful drugs,
whose reaction may be expected at any
time and in almost any horrible FORM

During the first excitement among the
Italian residents of the United States.
Baron Fava yesterday sent to the Italian
consul general at New York the following
telegram: "They learn from papers that
excitement is prevailing in the Italian

and authority to urge upon the Italians of
New York that they should, by digniied,
calm, and strictly legal behavior, show
themselves in these circumstances worthy

The matter is almost the sole
topic of conversation in diplomatic
circles and so far as can be ascertained,
the general opinion is that the state of
Louisiana, and not the United States
must be held responsible. The demand
for aR indemnity would of course, come
from the Italian government through its
minister resident and transmitted by the
secretary of state to the governor of
Louisiana. and if repudiated by that

which lively divergent views were ex-
pressed Rev Frank Bristol thought it a

take bold stand on such questions. On
the other hand, Rev. DR.. Bland strenu-

The velocity of sound in air at low tenn
peratures has recently been measured by
determining the interval between the flash
of gun 1873 meters distant and the re-
port. For temperatures 1919 degs., 2o7
degs., 37S dogs. and 45.6 dogs below zero
(centigrade) the velocities were 1851 317 l,
309.7 and 305.6 meters per second. From
this it appears the velocity of sound dimin-
lshes 0602 meter per second for each degree
(centigrade) or rise of temperature.
