THE electrical instrument recently in vented for avoiding she pain incident oc the extraction of teeth has attracted considerable attention. Briefly, it con. sists of adjustable prongs, carrying buttons and connected with an electrical battery. The buttons are placed on the face over. the nerves leading from the teeth to the brain, and circuit is estab- lished the moment the extracting in- strument touches the tooth.
 A NUMBER of Philadelphia physicians and surgeons have organized an electro therapeutic society for the discussion of questions of electricity combined with medicine and surgery The main object of the society is to reduce the amount of emplricism with which the practice of electro- therapeutics has hitherto frequently been associated. and to in- duco regularly certified practitioners to take up the subject on a scenriic basis,
 IN tests on a number of different per sons, an electrician has found the effect i've resistance of the human body to be less to the alternating than to the direct current in the same individual with . great variation in the resistance to either current in different persons. In five yubiects the resistance to e continuous current Of 50 volts ranged from 3,320 to 10000. The tests revealed incidentally a striking difference in the strength Q: current different indiy iduals can endure
 SOME wonderful work has lately been done in the removal Of diseased parts of the human body by Clcctrolysis- De. Abrath, who has paid special attention to this branch Of surgery, states that be has removed tunoTs and cancers Witk ease by electricity where no surgical interference with the knife was possi- ble, cases which have bshlcd all medical and surgical treatment, including lini- ments or injections. Grown-up people who had been under hospital treatment and dismissed as incur able have thcs escaped the horrors Of sufOcation or other miserable deaths. These he has had photographed in their perfectly cured state after electrical treatment. He not only finds that rho electric cur rent will kill the cancer cell beyond where the knife can 20, but that hem Orrhage and shock are more OT less pre- vented with the Csc Of elcctrolysis and sccpticsmia or Pyemia, which so often follows removal with the knife, is nearly asway= avoided.

 Exposure of Person.

There was crowd in Justice Al worlds court this morning when O. Homo was brought in by Frank Broad to be tried on & charge of indecent exposure of person.
 He appeared perfectly composed and at his ease. He was clad in pair of blue overslls, a canton flannel shirt and straw hat. He sat down, took off his hat and rested his head on his hand and awaited developments. The witnesses testified as to finding him naked at Charleston, without stitch of clothing on. When asked if he had anything co say, he replied ths: he was not guilty, that he had been aroused from his sleep and called out side of the housa by the constable. that he had no time to dress and could not retreat as he was held there by the constable with siX-shOOteT.

It was my oSn house tha. was in at least I had possession of it and no one disputed my title"
 The judge then sentenced him to thirty days imprisonment in the coun- ty jail.

Peeuilsr Experience of an American Lady e in seoaL
 The natives in the East who have be. come familiar with foreigners and their customs take very readily to the custom of calling-and eating on New Years day, andono lady had very peculiar eK. pertence with 8 native official in Seoul last year.
 She vas keeping ''open house." and had made some preparation for receiv ing her guests in the proper manner. Among other things, she had prepared with her own hands a very excellent cake, which she expected to distribute in little bits to all who might favor her with call A party of native gentle men arrived, and. having given one of them cup of tea, she placed this fine cake before him with an invitation to help himself She then went with tho others to another room and was gone some time. When she returned she saw to her horror that her beautiful cake had all but disappeared down the throat of the poor fellow, who had tried his best to do the polite thing according to bis country's customs--and not leave any of the food set before him, thus showing his appreciation of the hosts table and hospitality. The lady's vexa- tion was vanished by a feeling of com miserstion for the miserable man, who seemed to be very much in need of an emetic just then It is said this call was his first and last on that day, as he de- clared to friend that foreigners must be all stomach if they could go from house to house and do justice to the hos quality of each.

Davis and five colored employees on one side
and fifty or more strikers on the other. Two
men were fatally shot and twelve others

Davis and his son, the proprietors, with
eight negroes. all with loaded guns. started
for the yards with the avowed intention Of
beginning work or dying in the attempt.
As they were nearing the yards q party of
strikers appeared and asked that they be
allowed to talk to the men who were going
to work. Davis replied that the men did
not waht to talk, and ordered the strikers
to allow his men to pass. This the strikers
would not do, and Davis and his men opened
