THE BELLS IN MeMoRYs TOWER.

They tell us at times In calm OF the sea,
Altar from the whispering breath of the land,
Brave sailor can hear the bells pealing free,
Which greet him with JOY when he touches
the strand.
Enraptured he lists To the musical notes,
All melted 10 tears with pleasure they bring,
As deep in the sky the melody floats
The bells in life's tower, coinoident ring
Fond notes OF gladness, of hope and of love,
From childhood To present, they bring,
And beauty and bliss in the skies above,
And the hopes OF youth they ring!
Likewise in desert all dreary and lone,
Bold pilgrim awakes from dreamings most
dear.
20 hear the sweet chimes from infancy known
Repeat their pure promises cadent and clear
The sunshine ablaze in stiffness profound
Seems waiting IA voice of angels that sing,
When. startled, ne heard the fairylike sound
The bells of the past In blesscdness ring
Afar on the air, like fragrance of love,
Still follows the song angels sing,
For bells of the past, sweet Ginning above,
The pleasures OF our childhood ringl
All, thus in the days that ever may come,
In calm of the sea or wilderness wild,
When oXiled from JOY and comfort OF home,
May music bee ours that greeted the child.
May bells of the town or village peal out
Remembrance OF faith toy which we can cling,
So conquering dread and desolate doubt,
While ever OF hope and beauty they ring.
For thoughts Of the past are flowers divine,
That await US, We trust, in spring.
So, when calm of sea or desert shall shine,
May the bells of memory ring

Electricity In Dentistry.

BY the use of an electric light in cOnnec-
tion with the little mirror INTRODUCED into
the mouth the teeth and alvcolar processes
arc brilliantly Illuminated and rendered
translucent Thus anything wrong about
the teeth may be quickly discovered. Per
haps the dead tooth may be hidden in the
Jaw, never having been eruptcd, and may
have been the obscure cause of trouble for
years. The light reveals it at once Facial
neuralgia, by the way, is nearly always
due to a dead tooth
Electricity is most valuable as "a motive
power for tooth boring tools, which,
strange to say, cause less pain the faster
they go. Most people now grown up can
recall the eXcruciating pain caused by the
excavating instrument which the dentist
of a generation ago slowly revolved be-
tween his fingers. The "burs' now made
for such work are much finer than they
were half dozen years ago, being capable
Of cutting through steel bars Further
more, the laborious method of turning
them out by hand has been superseded re-
Gently by a machine which produces them
at IA cost of 10 cents apiece
Electricity is employed also for pulling
teeth. To the battery are attached three
wires, Two of thon have handles at the
end, while the third is attached to the for
Ceps. The patient grasps the handles, the
electricity is turned on suddenly, and the
dentist simultaneously applies his forceps
TO the tooth. The instant the tooth is
touched, it, as well as the surrounding
parts, becomes inscnsible To pain. A jerk,
and it is out-Providence Journal.

Why Cholera Kills.

When an adventurous scientist declared
that he had swallowed any amount of chol-
era cultures without injury, there was
good deal of incredulous head shaking, and
while the doubters could not really dispute
the statements made they insisted that
there must be something behind it all, for
if cholera bacilli were really themselves
and nobody else why didn't the man die!
And now it appears that it isn't the well
bred, properly conducted bacillus that does
the mischief, but substance that they
manufacture from the contents of the hui
man interior where they take up their
abiding place. The bacilli proceed to form
what is known as nitric, a most deadly
poison. This substance is by the bacilli
generated from many vegetables, especially
caulihower, lettuce, beets and turnips.
Meat contains but limited amount OF
convertible material; hence the prevailing
idea that vegetables are to be eaten with
prudence during cholera seasons, while
meat in small quantities and Indian corn,
barley and the like are much safer articles
of diet. 1t is further asserted that there are
other bacteria found in the intestines of men
and animals that are capable of generating
nitrites, but that the cholera bacillus pro-
duces over 40, 900 times more than any other
creature. If there is no suitable substance
found by the cholera bacilli upon which 20
work, they form Tactic and other acids, but
these rarely cause serious ills. They some
times give rise TO what is known as choler-
inc, which frequently prevails to a consid-
cradle extent during epidemcs of cholera

The more | study the subject the bet

sion that the way TO make good roads Is
TO compel the man who Is assessed his
poll tax to work it out honestly.
When you are assessed, put in "A good,
heavy days work, and let your highway
commissioners and pathmasters work
together. Then you will have good roads
before you know it. Exercise your in
gcnuity in the work, and year after year
your roads will grow better We have

The Caricature Plant.

The Brazilian flower known as the run
