Young Girls and Slang.

There are many foolish girls in this COM
munity az we'll as all others who think that
slang passes for brilliancy IN conversation
Poor. simple mortals! How sadly mistaken
they are. How they can confound slang
with brillianoy is hard to conceive. They
are as widely apart as the tropic and arctic
regions, and equally as positive in their
effect upon the intelligent mind. Slang il
a low, vulgar. unauthor lied language in
dulged in only by the lower classes Of 81
oiety, while brilliancy is distinguished by a
brightness that excites admiration. Slang
is the essence OF bad breeding, only TT ! be
used by those who make no p~retensions to
intellectually, and seldom get into society
where their effervescence of hog-English
would cause offense.
Brilliancy glitters, whether in a literal or
free sense. and stamps tho individual who
develops this quality in conversation as a
gem worthy to adorn the higher circles of
social life. Anything coarse or vulgar in
feminine character is a detraction from that
divinity which God intended and mnf ex-
poets in woman. Whenever a woman an
pears otherwise she descends from the high
plane of virtue, tenderness and modeety
which it was contemplated from the Begin
ming she should occupy. 10 hear a woman
make use of slang G ates harsh!y upon the
sensitiveness of even a hardened man.
language in conversation which will tend to
elevate you in the estimation of those
among whom you mingle. Abolish the use
of slang under any and all circumstance
and you, like us. will soon put your stamp
of condemnation upon the tongue that
defames the name of angelic woman by its
use.-Albany Press.

No More Artificial Teeth j..

Old age is robbed of half its terrors and
much of its deformity by the brilliant dis
covery of a Moscow dentist, DR.. Zuamen-
sky, who, according to . possibly over. san
euine Russian contemporary, has delighted
the civilized world by his skill in making
teeth grow in toothless gums. After ex-
p%erimenting on dogs he tried the effects of
his method in human beings, and the sue
cess was complete. The teeth are made of
gutta percha, porcelain or metal. as may be
desired. The root of the false tooth has
some holes bored in it. Holes are now
bored in the jaw, and into the hole the
false tooth is stuck as is q nail into wood.
In q short time a tender growth starts up
in the cavity of the false tooth, and this
growth hardening, the tooth becomes
fixed in position. These new teeth
can, according to the inventor. be
placed in the alvolus Of a natural
tooth, and thus when a diseased tooth is
pulled out a metal or porcelain substitute
can DO inserted in its place without
mourning any risk of transfer
ing disease, as happened in Hun
ter's days, when the apparently sound
teeth Of poor persons when transplanted
not ~infrsauently conveyed disease.
There are several minor moon
s%istencies in this statement, but it
would be ungracious to look such a noble
gift in the mouth, especially as according
to dentists of good authority our race ia
destined eventually to become sdentulous.

GOVERNOR Hills speech in New
York on Thursday night was a most
damaging arraignment Of Plat and Fas-
sett for their betrayal of New York city
in the Worlds fair contest. He showed
beyond dispute that long before the
question of location was determined
Platt had made his deal with the Chi
cago people to sell ont New York. The
governor read a copy Of a deed to $75,-
900 worth of Chicago property, pur-
chased by two of Platt's tools, State
Senators Erwin and Vedder, on March
/, 1890. He further showed that Erwin
and Vedder were absent from their
places in the senate on a visit to Chi
a at the time New York city was
making it's effort to get the fair. The
treachery of Platt and his l%ieutenanta
in the legislature to the metropolis lost
the fair to that city and took millions
Of dollars from the pockets of it's bust
ness men. Chauncey Depew said, at
the time, that the public man who op-
posed the oil before the state legisla,
ture would be buried under a 100000
majority should he ever present himself
for the suffrage of the people. The man
has popped up his head in the person of
Fassett. Now for Mr.. Depew's avail

THE inconsistency of western repub-
%licans, who say they are for free silver
and yet talk gleefully OF the prospects
of McKinley's election, is one of the
curious aspects Of this years politics.
No mar did more to defeat freq coinage
in congress than Nh. Mckinley, and his
opposition to it in his canvass this year
is %unrelenting and bitter. In his de-
bate with Gov. Campbell, the other day,
Mr.. Mckinley used these words: "The
republican party stands opposed to free
and unlimited coinage Of silver under
existing conditions and insists chat thai
cannot be safely done until the great
commercial nations Of the world shall
have, by confirmed action, fixed the
ratio between gold and silver" To
leave no mistake as to his antagonism to
this great interest he further said:
Upon the question Of silver the demo-
cratic platform of Ohio has declared
without qualification for the free and
unlimited coinage of the silver OF the
world as freely as gold is now coined,
and upon the ratios fixed by public
laws"
Here are two parties squarely arrayed
against each other on this issue. The
democrats for free coinage; the repub-
licans against it. Yet we see newspapers
like the Butte Inter Mountain, pub
lished in the heart OF one of the greatest
silver mining districts in the world,
dealing falsely with that interest and
supporting its worst enemy. One would
think that the people of Butte, who live
by this industry, would demand some
reciprocity from the newspaper which
lives on their bounty.

What Did shakesp..r. Die OF,

There is a tradition OF very respectable
antiquity that Shakespeare died of a fever
contracted through going or a drinking
bout with Bon Jonson and other boon
companions. Mr.. J. +. Nisbet, in his new
work, "The Insanity of Genius" discusses
the question from an entirely new point of
view, that Of pathology. In the authors
opinion, Shakespeare died of paralysis, or
some other disease akin to paralysis. The
signature to the will, he holds, affords
strong presumption of this. but he has also
other facts to adduce in support of this
theory. In 1867, DR.. Halls medical cure
book was published by James Cooke, "a
practitioner in physick and ohirurgery."
DR.. Hall, rs is we'll known, was shake
speare' q son-in-law. and his book proves be-
You'd doubt that nervous disease existed in
Sh~akespeare's family, a fact which Mr..
Nisbet considers accounts for the short
average duration of the lives of its mem
bers. and the sreedy extinction of the line
of Shakespeare direct descendents.-Medi-
cal Times.

THE esteemed Journal is getting
rapidly into a position where it can have
a sharp tariff controversy with it's own
files. Tt now admits that the tendency
OF a protective tariff is to cheaper
prices. When We stated a few weeks
ago that the protective tariff did this
very thing when applied to wool, which
has declined in price since the McKin-
ley law went into operation, the Journa,
s%toutly denied the proposition and con
tended that the increased duty kept
prices from going down. We suggest
that before it goes outside of it's own
office for a controversy the Journal take
itself off into a corner and match COD
pers with itself to see to which side OF
the question it will stick.

last. Col. Tiff died in his Sod year. He

the state one of her noblest sons. The
funeral will take place at 8 o'clock to-mor-
row with fitting ceremonies.
