THE "PLuMPER" UP TO DATE.

1t Is Cheeky Bluff, but 1t Raises Out Un.
attractive Facial Contours.
"No woman" said a dentist the
other day, need have sunken cheeks
nowadays, and any one of the sex is
foolish if she continues to maintain a
facial defect that can readily be rem
edied."
whats the remedy9" asked GU
rious man who heard the remark.
"Why, the plumper, of course, y
was the laconic reply.
''And what is the plumper?"
1t is dental device that throws
the sunken cheek outward, giving it
an attractive plumpness. Plumpers
were made years ago, before the i'm
provements of modern dentistry bur
the modern plumper doesn't at all
resemble the old fashioned article.
'These old fashioned plumpers
were plates to which were attached
concave disks. The plate fitted into
the roof of the mouth so that the disk
pressed against the inside of the
cheek and threw it outward, impart-
ing the appearance of plumpness.
This old disk has been entirely
done away with nowadays, and in
its stead is plate with an artificial
gum which throws the cheek out.
The sinking of the cheeks is usually
due to the recession of the natural
gum, caused by the loss of teeth, but
sometimes the cheek is naturally
sunken, even when the teeth are in
tact. The insertion of plumper in
to the mouth will instantly remove
this facial defect.
Most dentists make plumpers to
order for patients, but they can be
bought for trifing sum at any man
ufactory of dental materials. They
are generally made of rubber, al
though celluloid, and in some in
stances gold, is the material used in
the manufacture.
1.-THE method of manufacture is
simple. An impression of the roof of
the mouth and the gums is taken in
wax. A mold is made from the i'm
preston and the mold used in max
ing the plumper plate. Where the
natural gum is sunken the plate is
simply filed out, SO that when it is
inserted in the mouth it will throw
the cheek outward. The plate is held
in place by suction. AS rule, plump
ers are made with artificial teeth also. |
although if the patient desires the |
plate alone is made.
Where the jaw has been broken
or is misshapen, as the result of an
accident, the plumper proves very
effective in removing the facial de
feet.
1.-The value of the device is that it
be detected upon a minute ex-
animation of the interior of the
mouth. 1t does not interfere at all
with articulation or the mastication

A Good Showing.

In witt to the government work at the
Locks this week we were agreeably sur
prised to see the progress being made by
the contractors. Below the bulkhead the
excavation is nearly finished, and the ma
sonry for two of the gates is completed.
The iron for one of the gates is on the
ground, and this will be placed in position
5000. There are now forty derricks In oper
alton, on the different paits of the works,
and large number of steam drills. The
Day brothers have placed an electric plant
In operation. and work is prosecuted with
the same yigor night and day.
There are 600 men at work now. and
there is no cessation day or night or Sun
DAYS. Excavation has been carried on
above the bulkhead for the past few days,
and masons begun laying stone this morn.
Ing. This IS the canal proper, and the en-
trance will be much wider than any other
sary, waiting for the passage through the
locks. To-day workmen began construct
ing a double track into the pit, and these
engines will remove about 200 boxes of dirt
every day. About February lst the gates
will be hung, and 1t IS confidently expected
that boats may pass through in a year.
After the next high water the upper
bulkhead will be removed, and wat er will
run through the canal. Twelve days more
work will complete the work for the upper
gate, and then the force of workmen will
turn their attention no the second gate.
Work is being prosecuted with great
vigor, and although only $500,000 have
been expended by the Day Bros, they haYe
made an excellent showing. When COM
pleted the canal at the Cascades will be
second to the 500 canal, and it must be
recollect I'd that such a stupendous under
taking cannot be accomplished hastily.

Allow me space in your valuable pa
per to give vent to my feeling regard
ing some people who are supposed to
dedicate their whole, entire service to
God, but when the veil is drawn from
their faces, they are shown up as Judas
Iscariot was when he betrayed Christ
for thirty pieces of silver. To-day
there stands in our midst and especially
in our churches Judases of more than
one type. One is known as the tattler
who would rather go around from
neighbor to neighbor gossiping and
finding out something concerning his
or her brother or telling on the same
rather than attend TO his own business.
These people people must surely live in
filth and dirt, for they neither have
time or price to give to the cleansing OF
their own households.
Slandering and tale tattling is not
practiced among our young class of peo-
pie as much as it is among the older
ones.
They who should walk as examples
before our young ladies and gentlemen
rather than slandering and gossiping
all the time. Why could we not as CO.
workers with Christ lend helping
hand to our neighbors and friends and
by this way learn to put down strife
and enmity and succeed in making our
homes more beautiful pictures in the
sight of god, and be joined in one band
of unity and love.

this while looking over a copy of your

In the fall Of 1860, during the great
presidential campaign which resulted

Of the publishers of the BYsTANDER,
was running barber shop and res
taurant in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. A polit-
ical meeting had been announced and
a company of "Wide-Awakes" from
Cedar Rapids, and one from Marion
went down to Mt. Vernon to give a
specimen of their beautiful drill, and
add to the interest of the occasion.
The writer heard one of these Wide
Awalses'' who was passing along the
street and happened to see Mr.. Ruff,
the only colored man in the town. say:
"Golly, wish had that fellow down
South; could sell him for a thousand
dollars!''
A few years ago in travelling through
the South sat on the platform at the
morning chapel exercises in one of the
largest colleges for colored people in
the South and looked into the earnest,
eager. intelligent faces of several hun
dred students, most of whom had made
sacrifices to enable them to attend the
college which would well-nign dis
courage white person, and heard
such singing and saw such an intense
| interest in their eyes as l will always
remember. AS / went on through the
South / saw and heard of instances
where the colored people were coming
to the front, professionally, educa-
| tionally and financially IN way that
| is surprising to themselves and every
body else. Taking pleasure ride on
! an excursion boat in Charleston har-
Dor, South Carolina, there were prob
ably two hundred school teachers,
| mostly ladies, all colored. who were
attending a normal institute in the city
of Charleston, and they would compare
very favorably in appearance or intel
| ligence with similar company even in
Iowa. When | consider that only a
! few years ago the remark of the Wide
| Awake" quoted above was true, and ga
good, honest colored man would sell
| for thousand dollars, and also the
fact that it was a crime against the
| laws of the state to teach a colored
person to read, and then think of the
advancement along all lines made by
the colored race, am impelled to quote
the first telegram ever sent, What
hath God wrought?'
