How the japanese Pull Teeth.

THE japanese use no instrument for
extracting teeth. but lift them out with
the thumb aud forefinger," said Henry
Baker to a guest OF the Southern, who was
wearing ms Jaw in a sling as the result Of
a pair of forceps slipping and getting more
than they were sent for. While Jolly
Dick Hubbard was Minister to Japan
visited that country aud spent pleasant
week with him. One day | was trou bled
with the toothache, and MIR. Hubbard
took me to a dentist and explained TO the
saddle-colored operator that | wanted the
grinder extracted. was placed in a BAN
boo chair and tilted slightly back. The
dentist examined my teeth, talking volu-
bly, meanwhile 20 Uncle Sans representa-
tive. Suddenly his thumb and forefngt r
closed on the troublesome tooth. and before
| had the faintest idea OF what was going 10
happen he lifted 1t out and held 1t up be-
fore me. smiling at the SAME time that va
cant smile peculiar TO the children or the
ORIENT. You were waiting for the torceps
were you?' SAID Minister Hubbard. with
a laugh. They done use 'em here. Look
at this. Here is a young Jap taking his
first lesson in dentistry A l2-year-old
japanese boy sat on the foor, having before
HIM a board in which were number of
holes into which pegs had been tightly
driven. He was attempting TO extract the
pegs with his thumb and forehnger. Mr..
Hubbard explained that as the strength of
this natural pair of torceps developed by
practice the pegs would be driven In
tighter. After couple of years at peg
pulling the young dentist would graduate
and be able TO lift the most refractory
mclar in the same manner that he now
lifted wooden pegs"

BALL BEARINGS FOR WAGONS.
Heavier Loads and Better Roads Sure
TO Follow Their Adoption.


The advantages of the ball bearings and
pneumatic tiers have been recognized by
manufacturers and riders OF bicycles so
long that the wonder IS, not that these
friction. saving devices have been applied
20 track sulkies, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, but thai they were not utilized on
oil sorts of light vehicles long ago.
Wheels Of the bicycle pattern can be
made as strong as necessary. The pneu-
matte tire passes easily over the uneven
surface of a roadway, helping itself over
Instructions by its elasticity. II Is better
than springs for making a vehicle ride
easv"
II Is estimated that tie com binatlon OF
ball bearings and pneumatic tires added
from two to three seconds to Nancy
Hanks's speed BY lessening the draught of
centage in lightness of draught will be
appreciated by owners of good roads-ers,
and now that their attention has been
called to it the time cannot be far distant
when they will want pneumatic tires and
ball bearings on their buggies.
The pneumatic tire will not reach the
farm wagon, for il cannot stand rough
usage. but there would seem TO be no rea-
son why the ball bearings should not be
applied TO vehicles of that class. The
change would work q great saving IN
hOrsefesh and in time. for II would make
possible the hauling of heavier loads.
With the march of these improvements
VIII come better roads. This IL the age Of
wheels, and the gentleman driver the
farmer, and the bicyclist will soon be in
League for improved highways in city and
country alike

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER Q, 1s9
The Brussels Conference.

The presidential election being over and
Che meeting of Congress only few weeks
distant, the silver question will be sure to
tome TO the surface again at an early day.
We think that the bimetallists are
stronger than they were a year ago; but
et the same time we must admit that the
monometallists are now regarded with
much more favor than was then accorded
them. To sum up 1.-THE situation" we
might say that both parties to tins con-
troversy have learned to respect their
opponents. II is a great gain TO the BIZ
netallists to find such houses as the
Nessrs. HAMILTON & Co.. of Baltimore,
saving. as they said not long ago, that the
eilver problem is the most important
Subject of modern times"
The international bimetsllic conference
meets in Brussels on the 22d instant, when
there will be no party questions from the
United States 10 hinder the free discussion
Of the subject.
The following countries have accepted
the invitation Of our government to send
delegates to the conference-namely;
Great Britain. France, Germany, Austria-
Hungary. Belgium. Denmark, Greece,
Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Rouma-
hia. Russia, Servis. Spain. Sweden. Norway,
and Switzerland. These countries could
easily establish universal bimetalhc cur
tency if their statesmen only had little
confidence in themselves. They " fear TO
launch away" into the troubled sea OF bi-
metallism. They do not take due account
e I. H. ~ 10 reforms

tnercial world The United States Govern
tnent has converted wildcat" red

tsncy in the world. The several States
acting separately could never have done
This. Ii required the action of the Ma
tional Government TO nationalize our cur
fency. Yet il was done, and was well
done. What our National Government
thus did for the several States of this
Union can be done for the world by con-
Cress of nations consisting of the coun-
tres which are parties to the international
tlmetallic conference soon to assemble at !
Brussels.
Aswe have repeatedly SAID heretofore, we |
hope for good results TO follow the action |
of the Brussels conference. One thing is
certain-namely. that the cause of bi-
metalism will not suffer in the hands of
The delegates who will represent that
pause. There will be delegates present in
favor of bimetallism who are fully able to
contend for all that the blmetallists will
claim if they are wise. We might say that
tine discussions to be had at Brussels can
not he unproductive of good results. Even

which will require a new adjustment of

Extraordinary movements began in his

General Butler at Fault.

General BRNJAMIN I. BUTLER has the rep
rtation Of being a tirst-class lawyer; so we
think that he has not expressed unquali-
6edly the opinion attributed to him in the
following paragraph from the Washington
Post
General Butler mliutans that the increased

This question was raised in the United
States Senate by Mr.. CARLISLE when the
IeappOrtionment BILL under which we
elected congressman yesterday. was pend

question arose once in every ten years.
In an ,nterview with Post reporter, MIR.
BLAIsE (who Is not a lawyer SAID it was
an interesting one. But as the question
was raised III both houses of Congress
whilst yet the bill had not become law,
we may take II for granted that the dozens
of able constitutional lawyers in the two
houses did not commit the biunder which
MIR. BLAINH. General BUTLER, and others
charged upon the last Congress. Never

that if be did not intrude he would appear

that he had forgotten his umbrella.
