From the New York Herald.
The medical authority Of the Herald's
European edition emphasizes again the
great need of antiseptic precautions to
keep the mouth always free from disease
producing microbes, and more especially in
sickness and old age. He says:
THE cavity of the mouth contains in
Vulnerable microbes that are lodged in the
there indefinitely, becoming the source of
various complaints Of the gums. and in
some cases even the point Of origin Of an
infectious complaint. The most minute
cleanliness of this cavity is therefore in
dispensable.'
Among the best antiseptic agents Is q
2 per cent solution of boric or salicylic acid
In addition q stiff brush should be used
even if 1t should make the gums bleed at
first And this brush should be kept
standing in clean water and disinfected
once week in a solution of corrosive SUBJ
Innate Zone to a thousand
During illness it is of the utmost import
ance to keep the mouth clean. Our foreign
medical correspondent says:
Patients should be encouraged to rinse
out their mouths and garGle their threats
from time to time with vegetable, lemon
ade orange or lemon juice, and their teeth
should be cleaned twice day with a soft
brush and very weak solution of salicylic
acid.
ut Is advisable not to wait until patients
ask to drink, but to offer them, at least
every hour, some fresh water or lemonade
Abundant drinking during illness not only
has an excellent effect by the mechanical
flushing Of the system it occasions, but it
also has the advantage Of preventing the
mouth from becoming dry"

Those Distributed by Judge Kimball
in the Police Court.
THIRTY-NlNE PRISONERS IN TEE Line
The Offenses Were, However,
Mostly Of a Trivial Nature: -''''
DOSES OF JUSTICE GIVEN

There were thirty-nine prisoners in the
tolls at the Police Court this morning. and
even some OF them were able to say
Merry Christmas and mean 1t. Although
there were so many prisoners locked up
the offenses charged were, as a rule, trivial,
and thd police who had made the arrests
were able to sit about the court instead of
being out on their beats. In the process
sion of Judge Kimball's prisoners there
was not the usual number of familiar
faces that were seen on holidays several
years ago. Poor old Agnes White died
several years ago, Katie Goose passed away
only a year ago, while Ellen Ale has re-
formed and is conducting mission in
enc of the alleys in South Washington
where in days gone by she celebrated her
holidays, and they came every month in the
year. .t e.. .,-
In the court room there was not the
usual number of spectators, for many
of those who make this their loafng place
had a home attraction today and they
missed seeing the victims of the police
appear and get their doses OF Justice.

SneezinE.

From the London Daily News.
DIR. Scanes Spicer, reading paper the
other day before the Chemists Assistants
Association on "Sneezing," told his hearers
that the act of sneeZing has always been
regarded as supernatural, and by many
races was held in reverence. Hence arose
the custom, not even now altogether obso-
lete, of making some remark directly after
sneezng Sneezing was regarded as a sign
of impending death during the plague of
Athens. Many classical writers make espe-
cial reference to sneezing, and some sup
posed that during sneezing devils were cx-
PEELED.
Sneezing itself Is a reflex nervous action,
and is brought about by mechanic al irrita-
ton to the ends of tbs nerve tibers which
occur In the tissue OK Il lose. When this
irritation occurs, whets.- 1t be due to a
foreign body or char.s;r Of temperature af-
fecting the tissue OF the nose a nerve i'm
pulse Is transmitted to the brain and GER
tain nerve centers in the medulla oblongata
are affected; this results In certain i'm
pulses being transmitted along the nerves
to the muscles controlling respiration. By
this means the egress of air during eXpira-
ton Is delayed, and the various exits are
closed. When the pressure, however. reach
es a limit, the exits are forced open, "a
powerful blast Of air Is expelled, and the
patient sneeZes."

The Silent Mint.


l gaze out on the silent hills, enrolled in splendid
wondrous night.
And the Jutlean shepherds kneel, the star of
promise shining bright,
1 hear glad words of hope and cheer that angel
choirs in rapture sing,
Heraldic Of the reign Of reace and love divine to
men they ring
In heavenly strains throughout the night
I gaze out the silent bills and hack through
gloomy centuries
1 see grim and hdeous strife, the martyrs
dying agonies.
The people struggling for their rights divinely
given then the birth
OF brighter days, more hopeful times; and Christ
mas bells pealing forth
Their joyous chimes throughout the night.

OF today,
The pains. the toilngs OF the race slow climbing
the celestial way,
And drawing nearer to the goal, the hopo pro-
claimed in angel song,
OF regnant peace in all the earth; and earnest
hearts beating strong
With fervent love in lfe's dark night.
gaze out on the silent hills into the ages yet to
come,
And the heavenly guest enthrond, supreme In
heart. supreme in home,
Supreme in state, upfted, free, from treacherous
wiles and party strife;
| And myriads who this vision go bravey the
path of life
With souls that trust throughout the night.
| 1 gaze out the silent hills. that DINNER grow

| In darkness grim and desolatc. o when, o wher

| The eastern portals open wide and days bright

The Christmas gladness DER the earth; bright glow

That tattled long throughout the night.

ton Of public buildings and repairs to the
same. and all contracts for repairs to heat
ing, hosting, and ventilating apparatus.

division.
This order shall take effect on the LIST
day of January, 1895.
To Provide for the Clerks.
The abolition Of the two divisions named
involves the dismissal of their chiefs, Mr.
F. w. Knowlton Of Maine and Mr.. Z. w
Combs of Kansas. They are both ap.
pointees Of the present administration. and
are democrats in politics. They have been
notified that their services will not be re.
quired after the LIST proximo. An effort
will be made to provide for all the clerks
and employees of the two divisions by CIV
ing them employment in other departments
of the office. So far as known the proposed
reorganization will involve no reductions
in the office other than those already men
toned.
Secretary Carlisle will appoint the super
vising architect within a very short time
after the reorganization of the office is
effected. probably the first week in jan
uary He has practically made his selec-
ton in that respect, but will defer the an
nouncement until after the new arrange
ment is made. The most diligent inquiry
fails to reveal the identity of the new ap-
pointee, but those in a position to know
say that it may be accepted that he is ar
architect of the highest standing in his
profession, and one who will reflect credi,
upon the office.

Pedigrees for Rich Philadelphians.

From the Philadelphia Record.
OF all the queer pr DECISIONS there is prob
ably none queerer in this city than that Of
a certain shrewd young man about town
who calls himself a pedigree hunter"
This young man has a large clientele among
the wealthy, aid he is in a fair way to be-
GENE one Of that class himself His meth
eds are interesting. Having made himself
thoroughly conversant with "Burke's Peer
age" he announced himself as an expert
in the tracing of pedigrees. There are, Of
course, a large number of wealthy Phila-
delphians who are anxious to be able to
say that their forbears were illustrious
knights and lords ages since. Their family
traditions are not too authentic, and so the
pedigree hunter is engaged to go over to
dear old England and look the matter up.
The expert sails away in the most COM
modious Of ocean greyhounds, puts up at
the best hotels on the other side, performs
his researches leisurely, and returns with a
complete family tree. His expenses are
paid and he pockets big fee besides.

SO-Callcd Prize Fight.
The side room Of saloon at Jackson City
was the scene Of a so-called prize fight last
night between Tatem Kenny and "Reddy'
Tyne, both of this city. Tyne was a SUBJ
stitute, having volunteered to take the
place Of Dick OBrien, who was to have
faced Kenny, but who backed out when 1t
vas found that there was but SO in the
purse. Tyne had evidently begun to cele-
brate Christmas and was in no condition
to fight. He had barely raised his hands
in the first round when Kenny opened upon
him fiercely and knocked him out with a
hard right and left. 1t took about five Sec
ends to- do this. Another fight had been
arranged between J. Glynn of Baltimore
and Harry Callan Of Washington, but the
former failed to put In an appearance.

Happening to be in Harlem this morning

a new one on me. 1t was nothing else but
foot base ball. The ball used was perfectly
round, six inches in diameter, and it was
kicked instead of pitched. as customary.
and kicked to the bases as well. In order
to give the kickers a fair chance the dia-
mond was double the usual size and the
bases consequently twice as far apart.

ard, 1 tell you, 1t was great fun for the
youngsters. There was no danger either to
the basemen, fielders or runners. l don
