Given 3 Root and the Dentist VIII Build It
Into Serviceable Shape.
In the course of an address at dem
tai convention recently a delegate re-
marked than there is not one tooth lost
now where there used to be one hum
dred. The dayllof reckless tooth pull
ing has passed 1t is a mighty poor
tooth that the skilled operator of to
day cannot render far better and more
serviceable than the best possible false
one. If only the root is left a new up
per part of porcelain or gold, called a
''crown," is fastened upon it SO as to be
quite serviceable. Surprising that not
even the root is left, gap in the mouth
is filed with one or more dummies
securely fastened by gold bridge"
or otherwise. to the sound teeth. Com
plete sets of false teeth are rare nova
days. On the other hand, people in a
palpably toothlesS condition are almost
never seen, the cost of a complete arti-
fetal dental equipment being only six
teen dollars. The demand for tooth
crowns" comes largely from baseball
players, football athletes and bicycle
riders, who are very apt to have their
teeth broken off short.
But the last and most ingenious re-
sort of the dental surgeon is ssimplan-
tation"-i. e., the setting of new teeth
into the jaw For this purpose real
teeth are employed and not artificial
ones. Cocaine having been first ap-
piled for producing local an@sthesia, a
hole is drilled in the jaw bone, and in
to this socket a good tooth newly
drawn from somebody's jaw is set. If
the patient is young and vigorous she
oSseous structure soon closes around it,
and, by the time the gum is healed,
the tooth is ready for use. 1t should
last from three to ten years. In the
case of an elderly or feeble person it
may be fastened in place by silver
wires passing around the jaw bone
The root OF a freshly-extracted tooth
is covered with delicate mem brane
called the 'pericementum, ;" the vitality
of which materially assists the wished
for combining of the tissues Unless
the grinder is directly transferred, the
vitality of this membrane must be
artifcially preserved. One way of do
ing It is to graft the tooth temporarily
into the comb of a cock, that part of
the fowl being well fed with blood. as
may be seen from its redness. When
wanted for use, it is cut out. Ordi-
narily the patient is obliged to wait
for while until the dentist has a suit

chooses to hire somebody to sacrifice

GUT OR THRUST.
Sword Practice of the CavaIrymen in the
English Army.

Sword Practice of the CayaIrymen in the
English Army.
English cavalry swords are made
particularly for cutting Though with
the steel scabbard it is difficult to I'M
derstand how keen edge is to be pre-
served), and in the sword exercise cut
ting is very assiduously taught. and
that, especially in the yearly mounted
competition for swordsmanship prizes,
the value of the point is impressed en-
phatically upon the men. But if our
cavalry were to go into action to-mor-
row, can anyone who knows our sol
diers doubt that the greater number of
them would at once begin to cut at
their enemy?
They have been taught to cut. and
they will cut, quite regardless of the
eXertion which they entail on them
selves, and forgetting that the weap-
ons have points as well as edges. If
we compare the value of the point
with that of the cut as regards its eff
feet on an enemy. it is immeaSurably
he more effective. In a cut, even If
the sword does not turn in the hand
and if the edge falls true, it is always
more than likely that it will encounter
a button, belt, or pouch. which will
prevent it from penetrating; the cut,
too, depends entirely on the vigor of
the soldiers arm, and is not assisted in
any way by the crash and impetus of
the charge. Except in a very small
minority of cases, its results will gen.
orally be a bruise or a slight flesh
wound.
To deliver a point, on the other
hand, requires little physical exertion.
The sheer weight of horse and man be-
hind the sword is sufficient to drive it
through almost anything. If the point
does hit piece of metal, it will prob
ably only slip on to spot more easily
pierced, and if it does enter into the
body of man or horse. a wound. seri-
Gus, if not fatal, will surely be in
f1icted. The heavy cavalry of Napo-
leon were armed with swords made es-
pecially for pointing, and when they
charged, they left death in their track.

WHEN THE sKIPPER swEARS.
You Can Hear Him at His Best When the
Ia

Coal Is POOR
Nothing causes the anger of the av-
erage steamship captain to rise so
quickly as the discovery that he has
been duped by his coal dealer. The
anger and Indignation of the house
wife when she finds that her coal
dealer has practiced a bit of deception
is not to be compared to the fury of the
steamship captain who has been SIM
ilarly abused. He fairly snorts with
rage, and if condemnation and invec-
tive could have its effect upon the coal
dealers in general and this one in par
tlcuiar all would soon ornament inches
in the land of the eternal bow-wows.
1t is not that he has been skinned"
in the weight that arouses the skip
per's ire. No; he would rather hum
bred times get four tons for every five
and get good, free burning coal than
to receive the full weight ordered of a
quality of coal that won't make heat
and consequently can't make steam.
The quality of the coal is not discov-
cred until the vessel puts to sea.
Ii the coal is good and gives the
necessary heat to maintain the full
steam pressure in the boilers, the
coal dealer and the captain are
friends. If the coal is of an inferior
quality what happens? The register
refuses to register the steam pressure
necessary to get the best work out of
the engines. The coal burns freely
enough perhaps and the stobers are
worked to death feeding the furnaces,
which seem never to get their fill.
The CRATES become clogged, the draft
is impeded and the reduced pressure
becomes even less. The engines throb
uneasily and the speed of the steamer
falls off one-half This means that the
voyage will require twice as many
days to complete. There may be per-
ishable merchandise aboard perhaps
fruit. This was shipped with the usual
time allowance for ripening as ar
ranged on the scheduled running time
of the steamship. But the bad coal
upsets all these nicely timed arrange
ments as well as the equanimity of the
engineer, his corps, the cook, the
steward, the captain and finally the
cabin boy, who had made date
with his best girl at the end of the line.
Sometimes, if the vessel has not pro-
crossed too far upon her voyage, the
captain returns to port, or, in fit OF
desperation, determines to keep right
on and take chances.-N. Y. Adver-

DROVE OTHERS HORSES.
Uncle Sans Soldiers Put an End to "Black
BilIy's" Horse Stealing.


Biny's' Horse Stealing.
''Black Billy Todd is most unique
rascal. His speciality has not been in
robbing of trains and the holding up"
of stage coaches, but he has followed
the lucrative and satisfying practice of
robbing Texan ranchmen of horses and
cattle. In fact, BLACK Billy" Todd
for fifteen years has been known from
Manzanillo to Guaymas, in lower
Texas, as the most successful horse and
cattle stealer in the Lone Star state.
His plan was to quietly visit the ranch
of some cattle raiser with three or four
boon companions making up his band.
Then in the darkness of the night, the
party would round up couple of hun
dred head of cattle or hundred head
of horses, and by daylight would be
fifty miles away. When a ranchman
owns ten thousand head of horses or
twenty thousand head of cattle the
loss of two hundred head would not be
detected for days, and by that time
BLACK Billy and his band would be
hundreds of miles away. BLACK
Billy" it may be as well to state right
here, got his name because of his
swarthy complexion. He was born at
Vinden, near Springfield, ILL.,, and
like all his pals ran away from home
to be a cowboy. He is now a middle
sized man of fifty years or more, whose
close-cropped hair has an iron gray
tinge, and who walks with stoop-
ing shoulders and that queer,
rocking gait which men who
are brought up in the saddle usual
ly have. The reason why BLACK
Billy" along with Sam Chivatito, a
half-breed Indian; Oposarle, or Man
that-Rides,'' another full-blooded
Apache Indian, and ''Mojave Pete
Groat are doing time" is because all
four made up BLACK Pete's" band of
horse-thieves. Last March, one dreary
night, the band were encamped few
miles from Fort McKavett, Tex, where
the Seventh cavalry Clusters old COM
mand, you know were quartered.
Billy's band had been doing good bust
ness in and around Mason, junction
City, San Angelo and Fort Concho, and
at this time had started with band of
stolen horses and cattle for Kerville,
the nearest railroad town, and which
would give them a chance to ship the
several thousand cattle and horses in
their stolen band east. Il say, Billy
''Mojave Pete" Groat is said to have re-
marked, whats the matter with our
taking along some of the cavalry horses
up at the fort?'' Not anything Black
Billy replied. Cavalry horses fetch
gilt-edged prices The job is hard
one. for the United States cavalry guards
its horses very carefully. But BLACK
Billy" knew a thing or two. In the
night time the horses are lariated, or
tied to a long rope, which is fastened
to a pin or iron driven firmly into the
ground SO that they can Craze on the

well linking Experiment..

An experiment in well-sinking has
just been made in Houndsditch, Eng,
to supply a block of artisans dwell
ings which is of interest as bearing on
the prevailing agitation against the
water companies The chalk was
reached at 227 feet from the surface, at
$50 feet a yield of 900 gallons per hour
was secured, 1000 gallons an hour
came up the borehole at depth of
512]S feet and boring was stopped, as
the pressure was then as great as was
required. An analysis shows the water
to be perfectly free from contamina-

and the quantity of water obtained for
this outlay is sufficient to give an I'M

 Cows which were turned out to pas ture Wednesday morning found shel- tered hooks along in the afternoon and made themselves as comfortable as they could in the down pour of rain. They gave up the eating of grass until more favorable day and were not slow to leave the pasture later in the afternoon when the bars were let down.
