VETERINARY DENTISTRY.

Within comparatively few years
new profession has sprung into ex-
istence-that of veterinary dentistry.
Until few years ago all the dental
work deemed necessary was to take
a hammer and tenpenny nail and
knock off "wolf teeth to keep the
horse from going blind, but now
teeth are extracted, not to keep the
horse from going blind, because they
do not affect the animals eyes more
than does any other tooth, but to
keep a bit from pulling and loosen
ing them, causing the horse to have
a sore mouth. As far as similarity
of structure and kind of food extend
horses teeth are subject to the same
deterioating influences as the teeth
of man. They may decay and ex-
pose the nerve enough TO cause
toothache, as is sometimes seen
when a horse takes a drink of cold
water, causing him to throw up his
head or hold it sideways until the
pain is over. Sometimes tooth be-
comes liberated. the accumulated
puss often causing the jawbones to
bulge out or it may break and dis
charge either through the nostril or
upon the outside, forming a diSa-
greeable running sore. A horse S
tooth is not covered on the outside
with enamel like a mans tooth, but
the enamel is folded through the
substance (dentine) of the teeth.
The enamel, being harder than
dentine, is not worn away as rapidly
and presents a roughened grinding
surface necessary properly to masti-
cate coarse food. This roughened
surface should not be filed off unless
upon the edge of the tooth when
liable to cut the tongue or cheek.
As horses teeth are worn away by
contact with opposite teeth, they
gradually grow out of the jaw bone
until, in old horses, the teeth may
simply rest upon the jaw, being held
in place by the gums. If one tooth
should be broken out, the opposite
tooth is very liable to grow until it
becomes long enough to strike the
jaw opposite and produce very
sore mouth, making it difficult to
eat The results of diseased teeth

BARBARA HECK'S GRANDSON.

1t will be a surprise to Methodlsts
everywhere to know that any descend
ants OF that remarkable woman, Barbara
Heck, who was one of the founders of
the Methodist church in America, and
whose name is borne by a portion of
the denomination, are living. Yet a
grandson of hers, man of years and
plety, is in New York and has been
calling upon the lights of Methodism
there. His home is in Prescott, Ontario.
At the celebration of the one hundred
and tortieth anniversary of the founding
OF the John Street Methodist church,
General Thomas l.. James parrated an
anecdote which has been quite widely
commented upon by Methodists and
Episcopallans. General James himself
is an Episcopallan, but he said to the
Methodlsts on that occasion that Cen
eral Grant in his last days had defined
Methodism as "The Church of England
with Christianity added"
Barbara Heck's grandson heard of
Of this comment OF General Grants and
sought to have it verified, and so, in
company with General James, he called
upon Bishop Newman, who had just
returned from trip to japan in the
interests of the Methodist church.
Bishop Newman said that few days
before the death of General Grant,
when he was talking to DR.. Ne.man on
religious matters, he spoke of Metho-
dism and the Methodist church IN
which he had been reared. In the
course of the conversation he said:
CDR. Newman, / have been thinking
about the Methodists and their church
and their zeal, and 1t seems to me that
Methodism can be defined as the
Church of England with Christianity
added" General Grant meant, ac-
cording to Bishop Newman, no impu-
tatlon upon the Episcopal denomination
in this country, but had rather IN mind
the condition of the church of England
at the time when great body from
that church went out and established
MethOdism.

A PROPHETIC DREAM.

Gentlemen" said a Tennessee
Congressman at little story telling
seance, when l was a young man,
with an ambition to become lawyer
and the head OF family-two pur-
poses not in themselves incompatible
nor reprehensible-I was in love
with a Tennessee damsel and she
was in love with me. One night
after having wrestled with more than
usual vigor With Blackstone and
Coke, dreamed that my Dulcinea
del Tobaso and myself were riding
on horeback through one of the
lovely forests bordering the Ten
nessee river. She was on dapple
gray, and on a sorrel horse & can
see those horses now as they logged

WHAT HORSES SHOULD FARMERS
RAISE2

The farmer who gets it into his head
that he can raise fast horses, OF the
$40, 900 or $50, 900 sort, and proceeds
seriously to act on the idea, vii! find a
large store of disappointment awaiting
him at the end of his experiment. For
there IS not one chance in ten or twenty
thousand that he will succeed, while
there are good many chances that he
will become demoralized himself by his
failures, or lower the moral tone OF his
boys, if he has anv, by leading them
into ASSOCIATION with fast men, if not
with fast horses.
But there is a wide field for prof
table effort in another line of horses
and for strong, well built draft animals,
such as are required for city traffic
There seems to be no end to the de-
mand for these two kinds of horses,
and the farmer who wisely directs (and
>confiues) his attention to their pro-
duction will, if he understands his bust.
ness, find it profitable enterprise.
To succeed in this branch of busi
ness, two things, first of all, are requisite
suitable mares and a sire whose
offspring are likely to possess the de-
sired characteristics. 1t IS useless to
go into the business unless one can
command these two essentials. A scrub
mare and scrub sire will not produce
a thoroughbred horse. There may be
occasional failure, even with the best
stock. But, as rule, a good horse
possessing the desired characteristics,
will pretty surely give birth to a foal
having similar characteristics.
The farmer who wishes to enter up
on this line of business, if not already
owner OF the right kind of mares, should
purchase as many as he can afford,
secure the services of proper sire,
and, feeling that he has done his best,
calmly await results.
1t has been well said that it costs as
much to raise scrub that will sell for
SIoo or less, as to raise good solid
draft horse or stylish roadster which
will be quickly snapped up at from
three to five times as much.
A fine mare, of course, IS not to be
had for nothing. Perhaps three or
four hundred dollars will have to be
paid for one. But she will not be long
in paving for herself if her colts are
we'll sired. An instance is recorded in
in which farmer paid what his neigh
bors thought was an extravagant price
$3.50 for mare. But he knew what
he was about, and in nine years the
mare had gwen him nine colts, which
were sold for S2,275.
But the raising Of such stock de-
mands knowledge and intelligence in
the owner. SIlpshod methods will not
accomplish the desired object. Fore
thought, care, discretion, a perfectly
controlled temper, are among the
qualifications he ought to possess.
Such a man taking up in earnest the
business of raising strong, intelligent,
handsome horses for the city market,
and putting his whole mind into it,
will soon solve the question: "Does
farming pay?" 1t will pay, and
literally, as far as he is concerned, for
there is money in hand on every side
ready to be paid for either fine, clean
limbed, quick stepping roadsters, or
strong, solidly built. sturdy draft horses.

Want Licenses.

When City Council meets again the
members will find half adozen or more
applicants for licenses to keep beer
saloons. One of them wants to keep
licensed saloon away up on North
Pearl street. Others desire to locate
in the centre of the town. There may
be others who desire license, to hear
from later. Whether or not they will
obtain license from the Commission
ls question. There are those who
should know what they are talking
about, who declare the Commission
will grant but two more licenses for
Bridgeton. One of them is an inn and
tavern license and the other whole
sale license. Of course the public will
have to await developments.

NEWSPAPER BURNED OUT.
The ''AltOOna Sum- the Victim of
q Disastrous Fire.

The last issue of the Altoona Son, of
Altoona, Pa, reached us in somewhat
reduced circumstances. Intead of the
fine, broad sheet of previous issues, it
was small four column sheet, 12x1S
inches in size. The San had been the
victim of fire, and its fine building
and entire establishment was des-
troyed, entailing loss of nearly $1O,-
900 on the proprietors.
The Sun was owned by N. G. Bar
clay & Son, and Mr.. Barclay, Sr., will
be remembered as the one time pro-
prietor of the Patriot, of this city.
The Patriot was printed by Douglass
T. Barclay, and then by Barclay &
Cheeseman, before it was entirely pur-
chased by its present owner, john
Cheesman. Mr.. Barclay has the sym
pathy of his old friends here.

TRIED TO son ALL.
A salem Well Polluted With
Paris Green.

Last week family by the name of
Winters. living between Salem and
Hancock's Bridge, had a narrow es-
cape from poisoning. All of the family
but an elderly woman, went out for
the evening, and during their absence
some one stole in the yard and emp
tied quantity of Paris Green down
the we'll. When the family returned
they went directly to bed, and each
retired without desiring drink of
water, something very unusual, and
the horse was not watered.
The next morning. some of the
women folks went out to the pump
and filled the tea kettle, and the water
was noticed to have a gree nish tint.
Thinking possibly it was sediment
in the kettle the vessel was emptied
and filled again. This time the water
was also green and the men folks were
called upon to investigate. The result
was that the Paris Green was dis
covered in the water, and the well was
cleaned out.

Drowned ut Salem.

A young man named Daniel Burns,
whose residence was given at Sixteenth
and Ellsworth streets, Philapelphia,
was drowned yesterday morning at
the mouth of Salem creek. He was
one of the yachting party of eight
young men from Philadelhhia, who
were enjoying cruise On the Della
ware, having been out a week, and
had intended to leave for Augustine
pier last night. The names of some of
the others are VIM. Ribble, Frank
Freemen, F. H. Potts and John
Harmstad. The unfortunate man,
with a comrade, was attempting to
work a small boat ashore, when he fell
over astern and immediately sank and
drowned. 1t is supposed he could not
swim. This makes the third drowning
of Philadelphians in that section this
season. The body had not been re
covered.

THE ENDEAVOR PICNIC.
EAe Greatest Possible Success
The Carnival.

The Tumbling Dam has never
known such picnic as that in the grove
on the west of the big pond Thurs
day. The Union Picnic of the So
ceties of Christian Endeavor was in
every possible way a complete sue
cess, and the hundreds of members
and the hundreds of guests thoroughly
enjoyed the occasion.
The fpicnic was held in the west
grove, recently cleared for picnicing,
and under the stately trees, and on
the smooth CLASSY water, everybody
thoroughly enjoyed themselves. 1t is
estimated that during the day there
were two Thousand people in the
grove.
During the day the different parties
picniced costly, and the afternoon was
spent in chatting, reading, lounging
in hammocks, etc. OF course the
great attraction to the masses was in
the evening. The carnival being the
drawing power.
About seven o'clock the Iolanthe
Cornet Band went up to the grounds
and furnished delightful music for the
occasion. Then the preparation for
the boating carnival began, and thou
sands of people, and hundreds of
teams we're crowded all around the
place.
There were only six boats that en-
tered into the contest, but they were
most beautiful, and easily forshadowed
what might be done in the future.
Will Evans was marshall for the show.
He managed to lead the boats in a
route to particularly show bis craft,
which, by the way, was most exquis-
itely arranged. David Blew manned
a handsome boat. and the sight pre-
sented was a rare one. Jacob Mengle,
Jr,, showed tastefully trimmed boat,
and Miss Ellie Getsinger showed ad-
mirable taste in the arrangement of
the decorations for her boat. Miss
Loper, of the Laurel Hill M. P.
Church, presented a boat which was
especially worthy of the consideration
of the judges. Besides being taste
fully arranged, tableaux with living
characters were shown. Miss Ella
Westcott had her pretty boat most
handsomely decorated and ablaze
with light.
The judges, who were unknown,
watched the boats for an hour, and
after consideration, decided to give
the prize to William Evans, and he
gets the violin presented by Albertson
& Mickle.

Splindid Pears.

Did you ever see better pears in the
market? Nature seems to have turned
its ccrnucopia mouth open toward the
earth. So asks an exchange. Well,
in rer'y, hardly ever. But as for
peaches, they are very large and pret-
ty, but some people argue that they
are not as healthy as they have been
often before. The pits you have noti-
ced, perhaps, are in many cases
diseased and fall apart. That means
that they are diseased from the effects
OF too much water. And tomatoes
also, while being well rounded out and
plum, are watery, lacking that solidity
which makes III en- palatable.

ket of peaches Bella asked him for a

posal to her She turned away and
Fowler, it is claimed, caught hold of
her and attempted to assault her.
Justice Matthews committed Fowler
in default of $500 bail for an at
temped assault, and al4o made out a
commitment against him for thirty
days for disorderly conduct.

FAILURES AT ATLANTIC,
settlement Day Finds several
Hotel PrOprietOrs in Finan.
cial Straits.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 1-To-day in
local hotel circles was a day of reckon
ing and settlement, with the result
that several large hotels were unable
to meet the demands made upon them
by their creditors.
The largest hotel of the group in
financial trouble is the United States.
the most extensive hostelrie in the
city. The proprietors, Messrs. Neal g.
Hamilton, were busy to-day arranging
claims against them, mostly held by
local merchants and aggregating sbout
5000. They claimed they had not
made an assignment and that they
expected to open again next Spring.
1t was asserted that there were enough
new furniture, store room supplies and
bar stock to more than cover the
deficit. This is the hotel owned by
John 8. Davis, President of the Phila.
Oil Exchange. Whether this rent has
been fully paid was not ascertained.
Congress Hall has also closed it's
L. ",
the lessee, states that a backwa ard sea-
son did the work. 1t is expected that
the owners Of the botel, Messrs. Coon,
Philadelphia commission merchants,
will make favorable arrangements to
liquidate all claims It contains about
300 sleeping apartments and is well
known as Summer hotel. The total
amount of outstanding claims is about
5000. A meeting of the creditors will
be held tomorrow.
8. H. Lewis. proprietor OF the Cam
bridge Hotel, on New York Avenue,
also found himself unable to meet the
final demand of i1is creditors to close
accounts for the season. His shortage
amounts to about $1,000.
Mr.. Lewis said that he expects to
pay every dollar. his creditors having
given him an extension of time. He
formerly kept the Cambridge Hotel in
Chester.
Carl r. THOMPSON & Co., proprie-
tors of the Ingomar. on Kentucky
avenue, were also unable to pay their
creditors. As far as can be learned
the claims against them amount to
$4,000. A backward season and slim
business are given as reasons for the
| failure.
The Hygeia has also been closed,
and the goods belonging to the tenant
John Shellenberger, attached by Mrs.
L. G. Baird, the owner.
The father of G. r Thompson is
we'll known business man in Philadel.
phia, who, it is asserted, will see his
son through his present financial
troubles
Hugo Herold, of the Grand Union
| Hotel, Atlantic and New York avenues,
has been missing for several days.
His wife said that financial troubles
did not influence his sudden departure
in any way. Mrs. Herold will con-
tinue the management until his re-
turn.
The percentage of failures this sea-
son has been larger than usual, which
is accounted for ~ the dullness DUR
ing July and cool weather, together
with financial troubles in Philadelphia.
| When it is taken into consideration
that there are over 600 hotels and
boarding houses in this city, the num-
| Der that do not succeed is remarkably
| small.
