ELEPHANT DENTISTRY.
Interesting Operation Recently
Performed at Paris.
The Cavity Was as Large as a silver Dol
lar and 1t Was Filled with Compost
tion and TIn-HOw the Nerve
Was Killed.

A Partisan dentist has just filed n
cave in an elephants tooth. Animal
surgery is a subject which has received
some attention in this country. \ lion
was relieved Of a carbuncle in his neck
in Philadelphia recently, and the tuslIs
of the late Tip were abbreviated on sew
eral occasions, but this last operation
was of course attended with no pain,
otherwise that homicidal animal would
have protested in a very emphatic man
ner. saws the New York World.
In Europe, where there are many more
large public menageries than here. the
services of the surgeon are frequently
called in to save valuable animals. Vet
Urinary surgeons are accustomed to
perform small operations on horses
and dogs, but the surgical treatment
of wild animals is & very different mat
ter. 1t is attended with difficulty and
danger.
Many a savage animal has, however,
shown himself appreciative of the eff
forts which are made to relieve him
from pain. There is the old story of
the lion that unexpectedly confronted
a traveller in the African forest, hold
ing one paw before him with an eX-
preston of anguish. The traveller was
not unnaturally perturbed by the meet
ing, but the lion forced his paw on his
attention in such a way that the man
could not but discover that the king of
beasts was suffering acute pain from a
large thorn which was partially buried
in the soft part of his paw. The lion
detained the traveller until he had re-
moved the thorn and dressed the
wound, and afterwards he expressed
plainly his desire to live with the man
as his devoted servant.
The elephant operated on in Paris
bears the name of Liga. He is gifted
animal, engaged in performing at the
Nouveau Cirque. He is nine years of
age. For a long time he had suffered
torture of untold extent from the
tOothache. He endeavored to relieve
the disturbed condition of his nervous
system by chewing wooden beams and

Brushes Made Of spun Glass.

An American glass manufacturer has
now begun to make glass brushes such
as are used by china decorators for
furnishing and gliding on china after
it comes from the kiln. These brushes
now come from Bohemia. They are
marvels of glass spinning. They are
made of glass fbers so fine that they
look like spun silk. These fbers are
rolled up in bundles about six inches
in length and in three sizes in diane
ter, half-inch, three-quarters and one
inch. The bundles are wound with
cord TO within about three-quarters Of
an inch of each end. each end being
used as brush. The brushes are cut
square across the ends. and so extreme
ly fine are the glass fbers that in the
face of the brush the compact center
presents velvety appearance. The
brushes are flexible and silky to the
touch. They wear away in use, and as
they wear the cord is cut away to leave
the end of sufficient length.

LOOK BEFORE YOU DRINK.
One Woman Didn't and Was Sorry for
Her Negligence.

One Woman Didn't and Was Sorry for
Her Negligence.
Look before you leap and also be-
fore you eat or drink, is a good motto
to remember. 1t is wonderful how peo-
pie will rise in the night, lay hold of u
bottle in the dark, and quaff the con-
tents. too often to realize by taste or
feeling that they have swallowed
carbolic acid or some other deadly
draught.
A lady had an experience the other
night which will teach her to light the
gas before she partakes of refreshment
in the night. She had a brown stone
bottle of imported settler water left in
the bathroom in case of feeling thirsty.
One night she arose, fumbled about,
found the bottle, which she knew by
its shape, and the fact that it was not
glass, turned out a gobletful, got a
mouthful of something so nauseous
that the goblet fell from her hand, its
contents saturating her night dress.
After a good deal of spluttering and
some delay she struck light near the
wash basin, over which hung mirror;
so she saw herself, and gave a shrek
which reused the house as she did so.
And no wonder-her face, teeth, hands,
feet and garments were covered with

iron bars and blew his trunk with pain
full violence. The director of the circus
finally called in Prof. Valadon, of the
dental college of Paris, who diagnosed
Ligas case.
The elephant had scraped away the
ivory and dental pulp from a portion of
one of his mOlar teeth. Probably he
had bitten a stone wall in fit of pass
ing irritation. Carries or decay had set
in over a space the size of a silver dol
lar.
The dentist made use of the largest
of his eXcavating Instruments. lie had
to cut distance of three inches into the
diseased tooth. While he drilled with
all his might one of the keepers fed
Partisan confectionery to the gifted
performer. He was, il is said, evident
ly aware that the object of the opera
ton was to relieve him from suffer
ing, for he scarcely budged during
the tedious operation. When the tooth
had been prepared it was filed with a
wad of cotton soaked in iodiform. This
was renewed every week for two
months until the nerve was dead. Then
the cavity was filed with composition
covered with tin cylinder.
The director of the circus inquired
what the cost'of filing the elephants
tooth with gold would be. 1t was esti-
mated that at least $500 worth of gold
would be required, and the director de-
cided that he could not afford it.
1t need hardly be added that Liga is
a very intelligent and docile animal to
have submitted patiently to this opera

DEATH BY HANGING.
The Three Different Stages Through
Which the Victim Passes.

"I have made the subject of death
by hanging a long study said DR..
ID. 5. Lamb, an eX-surgeon of the
United States army, according to the
ST. Louis Globe-D Democrat. prom my
observations during my experience
in the army, feel justified in saying
that death by hanging is the most eX-
aggerated of all modes. 1t may be inn
mediate and without symptoms, but
the subject must pass through three
stages before death.
In the first stage the victim passes
into partial stupor lasting from thirty
seconds to two minutes. but this is
generally governed by the length of
the drop, the weight of the body, and
the tightness of the construction.
There is absolutely no pain in this
stage; the feeling is rather one of
pleasure. The subjective symptoms
described are intense heat in the head,
brilliant flashes of light in the eyes,
Gcafening sounds in the ears and a
heavy numb feeling in the lungs. In
the second stage, the subject passes
into Inconsistencies, and commissions
usually occur. In the third state all
is quiet except the beating of the heart.
just before death the agitation is re-
newed, but in different way from
that in the second state. The feet are
raised, the tongue has a peculiar
spasm. the chest heaves, the eyes pro-
tude from the orbits and oScillate from
side to side, and the pupils dilate.
The pulse can, in most cases, be felt
ten minutes after the drop.
II once knew man who was desir-
Gus of ascertaining if there was any
suffering by hanging, and in order to
find out he placed a rope around his
neck and stepped off a bench, intend
ing to step back again, but he became
Immediately unconscious, and would
have died in few minutes had it not
been for the timely arrival of friend.
He said he experienced all the feelings
that mentioned in the first stage"

NEVER SMILED.
The Terrible Secret in the Life of an Er
ring Physician.

ring Physician.
"a few years ago" said Charles j..
Patterson, of Philadelphia, to a st.
Louis Republic reporter, Il learned
the secret of the life of a man who had
passed more than a quarter of a CEN
fury with scarcely a smile. He had
been a physician and surgeon, and on
one occasion had to remove an injured
eye in order to save the other eye and
prevent total blindness. The night
before the operation he had been drink
ing heavily with some friends, and, al
though the following morning he was
sober, his hand was unsteady and his
nerves unstrung. After administering
chlOrOfOrm he made a fatal and horri-
BILE blunder. removing the well eye by
mistake and thus consigning his pa
tient to perpetual blindness. The mo-
ment he discovered his error he turned
the man over to a competent surgeon,
decided everything he possessed to him
and hurried from the neighborhOOd
like convicted thief. The remainder
of his life was one constant round of
remorse and he rapidly developed into
a confirmed misanthrope. The secret
of his life was known to number of
people. but when il was finally revealed
to me it explained mystery and made
me respect the man, for however grave
his original blunder, which in some re-
spects was, of course, worse than a
crime, his repentance was of the most

Canine Chicken Thief.

A man in Scranton, Pa, missed three
or four of his black Hamburg pullets,
and made up his mind that his neigh
boris big cat was the thief. So he lay
in wait for the culprit with shotgun,
and presently there appeared, not a
cat. but a small Jlack-and-tan dog,
which seized a little chicken and ran
off with it, right before the eyes Of the
owner, who was so astonished that he
forgot to shoot. When he recovered
his senses, he chased the dog and
traced it to house five blocks away.
The family begged him not to kill the
children's pet, and ransomed the dog
hz paying foz al the chickens that had
been stolen.

WILL THEY ENDORSE HIM7

If the Breckenridge scandal does MOTH
ing more it Will determine the character
of the man preferred by the people Of
his district to represent them in congress.
1t happens that his term expires soon,
and that the choice of a representative
will be made in a few weeks. Already
his friends are preparing the way for
his vindication at fine polls, and the one
thing niece ssary, without regard to his
fitness, is to get votes enough to send
him back. His constituents are certain
ly not in an enviable position. His
moral delirquencies have been one of
the chief topics of the entire country
for several weeks. His baseness Is SO
fragrant and well advertised that the
public at large will be driven to the con-
clusion that his reelection will signify
an endorsement of his conduct. Since
the blackness of his private life has been
so thoroughly ventilated not one
of his supporters can plead ignor-
ance of his real character. hence it fol-
lows that his return to congress will he
taken as a true index of the moral
standard of his supporters. If self
condemned, gray-haired libertine is their
ideal for the highest office they have to
dispose of, they need look no further. If
they prefer a man of more pride of char
acter, Mr.. Breckenridge will be retired
to private life in several separate and
distinct languages. His respectable con-
nections and former prominence as
leader, should only render his fall more
disastrous d. Alembert used the simile
that ''only the eagle and The serpent
reached the summit OF the pyramid"
This scion of gentility has worked his
way to this high altitude, but his shiny
trail shows that he is not the proud bird
which we cherish as the emblem of
American liberty.

KANSAS ARBOR DAY,

There is but one city in the state boast
ting superabundance of trees, and
they are the glory and the comfort of
the place. One Of the most keenly felt
wants of the state is trees. The towns,
farms and prairies of Kansas are short
on wind breaks and the homes and
school houses and buildings generally
should have more shade. If one-fiflh or
even one-tenth of the surface of the
state was planted to trees a greater de-
gree of humidity would prevail; the
winds would be less violent, there would
be more dew and rain and the climatic
change would undoubtedly be marked.
Governor Lewelling has named April
10, as Arbor Day and his proclamation
says:
Let our people manifest an increas-
ing interest in the observance of this
beautiful holiday, and lend willing
hands in adjoining parks, roadways.
llwns and the grounds around our
school houses with forest and orna-
mental trees.
THAT the boys and girls of Kansas
may learn to love the trees and to know
their usefulness as well as their beauty,
| especially recommend that the day be
observed in the schools of the state with
appropriate instruction and that parents
join with their children in the cere-
monies of the day"
