A JAW MADE OF GOLD.

Next TO the pleasure of being known
as a silver tongued orator comes that of
having gold jaw. Of that unusual po-
session prominent physician of New
York boasts; yet he experiences no
different feeling with it, so exactly is it
adjusted, than anyone else does with q
commonplace, everyday jaw. Some
time previous to its acquisition he suf-
fered from throat trouble, such as
General Grant had called epithelioma.
Surgeons treated it by heroic measures.
To reach the spot where the malig-
nant growth lay, under the tongue and
near the thorax, necessitated an opera
ton wherein the lower jaw was entire
ly cut in two and portion of it re-
moved and important muscles were
severed. Then the two parts of the
lower Jaw were laid back to allow the
surgeon TO work under the roots of the
tongue.
A popularity of the case at this
iuncture lay in the fact that the muscles
on each side of the mouth being in
dependent of one another, the severed
parts of the lower jaw could not work
IN unison The masseter muscle, at
tached to the smaller remaining portion
of the Jaw, contracted in the process of
healing, and the doctor, who had
been fine looking man before the
operation, now went about with mis-
shapen face.
The masseter is one of the strongest
muscles in the system, being the Only
one that does not act as a lever. but
having straight pull. Notice. in IL
lustration of its power, how the boy
who wishes to crack a nut puts it
between the molars, and then wills the
masseter to crush ahead, or the playful
puppy, who knows by instinct where
his best grip is, struggling with a bone.
A dental surgeon now came to the
rescue. 1t took knowledge of the
power of machinery, an inventive
faculty and the skill of sculptor in
addition to the dentists regular acumen.
A iackscrew with ball and socket
oint-exactly such as would be used to
raise locomotive, except in miniature
had 10 be resorted to, and the jaw
was lacked open, requiring a strain of
several days, to compel the powerful
masseter muscles to relax. This &C.
complished, g wedge was put in to keep
that part OF the mouth apart; then the
iackscrew was used to force the larger
segment of the severed jaw back TO its
original circle, where it was held by a
spliut so devised as to be removable,
till it had regained its normal condi-
ton, whereupon gold jaw and teeth
were modelled to fill the space and
also bind the two sections of the jaw
together.
By the aid of the surgeons knife the
disease had been entirely removed,
and, followed up by this remarkable
feat of dentistry, the articulation and
occlusi0D restored and mastication rem
dered as complete as before the opera
ton. Previous to the dental work, bis
food was pushed through the oritice be-
tween the upper and lower jaws.
Another point of interest lies in the
announcement that new cartilage is
forming &C oss the chasm, and it is
hoped IN the course of a year or so to
find the jaw working Independent of its
gold one.-N. y Herald.

A MAN OF THE WORLD TALKS.

When you get home, being a bit of an
artist, you draw in a sketchy way the
three types and while you are busy finish
ing up Dicky, Charlie Cynic comes in. and
you toss the drawings to him. And then
when he is seated for a comfortable
smoke, you ask him, Which of these
three women do you consider the most
fascinating!n
And he say, 'Why, my dear boy, there
is no question about it. The lady with
the love for color is not dangerous at all
for you know perfectly well that she is
catering to her own vanity. Dicky is
amusing. as woman always is when she
attempts to be a bit of boy, but you
wouldn't break your heart over her. No,
no; it is the little nun: it is the little
Puritan, call her what you will, who
makes the greatest havoc. She doesn't
suggest once that she thinks of herself
but she caters in the most subtle way to
your vanity And that is the finest way
to win a man. She convinces you of the
greatness of your brain. of your ability to
understand ner, and she f1atters you by
making you think that ever since the be-
ginning of the world, destiny has been ar
ranging for you to meet her. She makes
you believe thatrshe is so exquisitely fine
that out of all the world you are the one
man who comprehends Just what she is
And if you would go to see her often. she
would act on you like absinthe You
grow to yearn for it, to long for it, and to
be unwilling to live without it. Fortu-
nately, being feminine she is just as
likely to change her role next year. She
may be Lady Betty Modish, or Cleopatra,
or Marie Antoinette.

Engineering and Native Prejudice.

Engineering enterprise in China par
ticularlY in so far asrcglrds railroad
building, has had, and is still having, a
good deal to contend with in the way of
native prejudice, cupidity and supersti-
ton, says Cassell's Magazine, and the
tales are many that have been told of the
peculiar difficulties encountered in that
country by European enGlnees and engi-
neering sYndicates in the course of their
operations. When, Tor example, the first
railroad was built, number of wears
ago, the necessary land, it was stated.
was bought from several different propri-
etors, all of whom wanted additional
bounties for the disturbances Of ancestral
graves, which, as NAV be known. abound
in what the foreign devil would be apt
10 consider rather unusual localities. One
proprietor claimed to have buried on his
strip of land no less then i've mothers-in-
law, for whom he had to be paid. Salts
flying him naturally resulted in a marvel
Gus multiplication of dead mothers-i n-law
who thus soon became the chief item in the
cost of the land Another curious example
Of the difficulties of railroad con-
struction in the celestial empire has more
recently been mentioned, and has been af-
forded by the conduct of the Tartar gen
eral of Moukden, the capital of Manchu-
ria, in connection with the surveying
work of the railroad from Kirin, another
large Manchurian town, to Newchwang,
the seaport of the province. According
to current report it was proposed to make
junction of the line for Moukden at a
place short distance outside the city,
but the general got number of geomanc-
ers to investigate the effect of this selec-
ton upon Moukden. These sages reported
that the vertebra of the dragon which
encircles the holy city of Moukdep would
be broken by driving the long spikes of
the railroad ties into them, and accord
the engineers and directed them to carry
the railroad in a straight line from Grin
to Newchwang, without approaching
Moukden at all This, while a shorter
route, would compel the crossing of a low
and marshy tract of land, liable TO foods
and only sparsely populated.

he KISSED THEM ALL.
rhe Great De Pachmann Surprises the
Wells College Girls.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Aurora, N. j., Jan. 15.-Vladimir de
Pachmann, the love-making musical
genius has upset the gravity of Wells
College, the advanced school for girls,
from which Mrs. Grover Cleveland was
graduated.
Pachmann is easily impressed by beau
tiful femininity, and he has the constant
desire to plant the kiss of genius on the
lily-white forehead of every maiden he
meets.
Saturday he was turned loose in Wells
College and the girls were all ready for
him. They had been instructed to ap-
plaud every number vociferously, and
they did so. Something got the matter
with the svirtuoso during the perform
ance, and the college girls did not know
exactly what it was.
The servants of the college were per-
mitted TO listen to the recital from the
rear of the stage, and de Pachmann, dur
ing each intermission, slid out among
them and began to make himself popular.
He chucked them under the chin, despite
their furious bushes, and then, in his
manner, he fell on one young woman's
neck, kissed her and asked her to go away
with him for ever and ever. She thought
he was genius and should be allowed to
have his own way. When the recital was
over, he lined up at the doorway and
kissed the hands Of all the young ladies
who came up 10 see him.

Anecdota of Gen. Polk.

A good story is told in Blue and Gray of
Bishop (tiieE lieutenant-generan Polk of the
confederate army, and another general whom
we will call Blank, " who now resides in Ala
bama.
During the Georgia campaign, and not long
before Gen. Polk was killed at Pine Noun
tain. he requested Gen. Blank to accompany
him to a hill in front Of the lines which com
manded an excellent view of the position Of
the opposing federal forces The figures OF
the two officers outlined upon the sky as they
stood upon this eminence offered tempting
mark for some federal gunners, and in few
moments both lay on the ground stunned and
senseleSs from the effect OF federal shells
The fortunes OF war had brought together
most distinguished chLrchman and one of the
bravest and most trusted Of Forests officers.
The latter, however, was not at the time
noted for extreme plety, but was rather given
to the use Of vigorous language and forcible
expletiVes, which fact the good bishop knew
and regretted; ne also knew that his present
companion was one OF the very best and
bravest men in the confederate service.
The two officers lay stunned for several
minutes, Gen. Blank was the first to recover.
Looking about him in dazed way. he soon
discovered the burly form of his companion,
who was breathing heavily, but evidently
coming around all right. IN few moments
he heard zen. Polk mutter: oh, Lord where
am 1, where am Iy'' Gen. Blank, keenly alive
to sense Of grim humor. whispered gently
In HI. general" Impossible" muir
INJURED the semi-conscious Polk. Who is il
that tells me so$" 1t Is I-Ceu. Blank" re-
sponded that practical joker. "Oh. Lord

said. ''Felix Wage felix viagel Dios
lie companei'' had been cheer1ly shouted
70 the departing naturalist; and at the
edge Of the camp the don, the donkey
and the bursting panniers were receiving
the last EN- braces and blessings of the
gisnt-framed, sunny-hearted outlaw,
Matagas
Suddenly Juanita, machete at her side
and quiebrahacha stick in hand stood
there beside them
The don shall not return by Glen
tuegosi" said the girl quietly. Il will
show him our secret path over the noun
tains TO Guines."
"Goodr' answered Matagas heartily.
HE will not reveal it"
And so the outlaw and the naturalist
parted, Juanita turned the dOnkey's
head in the opposite direction; led it and
its burdens silently through the camp;
hesltated moment as the forest was en-
tered, and then, swiftly returning to
Matagas and Tomasa, who had content
eddy resumed their labOrs. kissed both
lmpulsively, with the parting words, DO
not fear If it be late when l RETURN
when she sprang again to the donkeys
head, and, with her companion, set forth
upon their way
But Jose was missed among the car
Doneros in their work that day. Early in
the afternoon he came bounding like some
fierce animal into camp, and sought Mat
agas' side. But a word or two was
spoken, when Matagas and Jose swiftly
disappeared. Never was such speed
made by Cuban foresters in shadowy for
ests, through echoing eanOns, across sun
baked llanos and through almost impene-
trable Jungles, as by these. Just as the
sun was dipping behind the western
mountains and flooding the valley of
Gunes with waves of saffron and of gold,
they came to the top of the hills along it's
splendid southern wall Standing there
like Nemesis of vengeance Matagas
looked long and sternly at two specks
trailing along the far, white valley road,
almost beneath the walls of the ancient
city of Guines.
What he really saw was donkey now
laden with panniers and the figure Of a
woman, while a sprightly old man walked
beside them, his arm resting across the
donkey's back and lovingly encircling the
form of the one who rode
Matagas' face grew dark and darker for
little. Then it softened in the mellow
sunset glow Soon his lips parted, first
with smile and then speech as though
he was thinking aloud.

Eduardo has taken TO his Havana collec-
tions the finest specimen in Cuba :"
Felix Wage, felix Wage Don Eduardo
and Juanita DiOs lie d cOmpanel" shouted
Matagas deafeningly but cheerily withal.
And without another word the outlaw
stole turned his kindly face toward To-
masa and his mountain hut.
