erected directly in the rear of the his
toric building, the latter standing di-
rectly on the street with frontage Of
sixty feet. In few weeks nothing will
remain of the old house except a few
relics, which the family will wish to

probably be the nail on which the orig

If all the stories connected with the
old homestead could be collected they
would make volume of interest, not
only to the numerous descendants of
jeremiah Blanchard, but to many
others interested in the history of the
Wyoming valley.

ter-goers of Scranton during this week
at Davis theater where the musical
extravaganza "a Liberty Bell" is be-

Stephen Atherton, of Throop, yester-

Graw of the same place, to recover
$4,000 damages for malicious prosecu-
tion.
On Oct. 8 McGraw caused Atherton to
be arrested and arraigned before Bur

berry. Ball was demanded in the sum
of $4,000, and it is probable that the
accused would have been sent to jail
had not a writ of habeas corpus inter

charged.
He says that the charge made by
McGraw has caused many persons tC
look upon him as a felon, and $4,000

done his reputation.

Livery in the White House.

In all the finest private houses in
the capital the servants and the foot
men are in livery, but in the White
House the idea prevails that this is a
free and independent country and
that no man shall be compelled to
wear d badge Of servitude. No at
tendant or servant is ever seen in
livery except the coachmen and foot
men, who are not on duty inside the
house. There is one prominent candi-
GATE for the Republican nomination
who, if he is elected. has already an
nounced his determination to change
all that, and declares that he will
convert even the doorkeepers into
"Jeames Yellowplushes." He has
been heard on several occasions to ex-
press contempt for a custom which
allows any attendant in the PreSi-
dents house to appear in business
clothes. Kate Fields Washington
thinks it would be very impressive
to have the doors swung open by
liveried flunkies, but if this favorte
son is elected he may run against an

Tobacco as a ProphyIactic.

Notwithstanding the almost uni
versal growth of the tobacco habit,
there are some who still regard III as
one of the most vicious and injurious
of indulgeneSS. There is no doubt
that it is but too often carried TO ex-
cess, and the use of tobacco nv chill
dren of tender years may WOrA lrreV-
ocable mischief However the weed
may be abused. its effects when
judiciously used have been proved by
overwhelming scientific testimony
to aid materially to the welfare OF
the human race. The London Lancet
has given the results of some expert
ments to test the influence of tobacco
in the prevention of disease trans
mission by bacilli. 1t is found that
smoking is highly beneficial in per-
venting the decay of teeth. Women
suffer more from dental carries thai
men, and the difference is attributed
to the fact that but few women
smoke. Some Of the earliest expert
ments in this field were made by an
American dentist in 1884. The micro
germs of dental carries when passed
through the smoke Of tobacco were
rendered innocuous, Four years later
physician in Naples lined small
balloon with layer Of gelatine con-
tanning cholera bacilli. When the
smoke of from one to four cigars-the
number Of cigars required depending
on their strength in nicotine-waS
drawn through this balloon the gela-
tine was completely steriliZed. These
and other experiments have now been
repeated by DR.. V. Tassinari in Rome,
and the result is to establish the fact
that the smoke of tobacco either en-
tirely destroys or retards the develop
ment of the bacillus of cholera, of an
thraX and pneumonia. DR.. Tassinari
published twenty-one charts indicat-
ing the action of tobacco on various
Well-knOWn microbes, according to the
nature of the tobacco and the amount
consumed. The latter varied from
one to six grammeS. smoked In from
ten to thirty minutes. The bacillus
of Asiatic cholera and that of pheu,
mOnia was in every case completely
DESTROYED, no matter what sort of to.
bacco was used. The bacillus of an
thrax showed stronger powers Of re-
sistance, and that Of typhoid was
hardly affected by the smoke. The
only question now remaining to be
proved is whether the sterilizing of
microbes can be effected in the human
being with the same certainty as IN
nutritIve gelatine

Washington's False Teeth.

The patent office at Washington
has one curiosity which is of no little
interest to dentists and the manufac-
turers of artificial teeth. 1t is a set
Of ivory teeth made for Gen. George
Washington in 1890 by a dentist in
New York named John Greenwood.
Greenwood was one OF the first den
fists in New York City, settling there
about 1885, and two years later cary
ing the double set Of teeth for the
Father of His Country" He made
two sets, the last being manufactured
in 1895, after the first gave out, and
it is said that the last set was buried
with Washington. The first set was
returned to Greenwood, and after his
death was placed in the Government
museum.

for illuminating purposes, the quality
Of which they claim is far superior

at about One-half the cost. The re-

and a number OF retOrts, the latter
being kept at certain degree of heat,
and the oil is forced through them
into tank which is kept full Of wa

The pistol was manufactured by
Kitano s. Co., London, and was
brought to this country by man
named Mason, who was related to
Lord Fairfax 1t remained in the
Mason family until 1879, when it was
given to an old fisherman by Miss
Mason, granddaughter Of the man
who brought it over from old En-
gland. The old fisherman gave it
away, and it finally found it's way
into the hands OF one Detective Raff,
who presented it to Major Moore.
The descendants Of the original
possessor, Mr.. Mason, still reside on
the farm on which he settled some
800 years ago in King George County,
