In the Johns Hopkins Medical School %

A recent medical journal tells of a Pc
culiar case at law, wherein the right to
the possession of an amputated limb is
brought into question. 1t says: The
Supreme Court of Belgium has just been
called upon to decide novel and extra
ordinary question. One of the leading sur
geons OF Brussels had occasion about a
young married lady belonging to the
The operator was so pleased with
his job that he preserved the leg in jar of
spirits of wine and placed it on exhibition
in his consulting groom, card being af-
fixed to the jar giving the patients name
and the details concerning the circum-
stances which made the operation neces-
sary.
ION hearing this the husband of the lady
demanded the immediate discontinuance
of the exhibition and the return of the
severed member as being his property. To
this the surgeon demurred. He admitted
that the plaintiff had property rights IN the
leg while it formed part OF his wife, but
argued that the leg in its present condition
was the result of his (defendant's) skill
and the work of his own hands and that
he was clearly entitled to keep it. The
court seemed rather staggered by this line
of argument, and after taking a fortnight
to consider the question finally decided
against the doctor and in favor of the
husbands claim to the possession of the
amputated leg of his better half"
In the French Academy it is said that a
most remarkable case of rapid growth was
recorded in 1923. A boy who was feet
inches tall at 6 years of age. When he was
years of age his voice had changed; his
beard had grown at and he was possessed
of great physical strength; at his hair
and beard were gray; at 10 his gait was
faltering, his teeth fell out and he became
palsied. He died at IL years OF age with
every sign OF extreme old age.
The latest disease is called by the med
ical profession ''cable back" which is
pain in the small of the back complained
of by streetcar conductors, and is caused
by the repetition of shocks to the spinal
column, due to the sudden starting of the
cable and electric cars. 1t keeps the doc
tors busy studying up names for the diff
ferent diseases the people seem so ready
to supply them with, as well as new RENE
dies for their cure. They say that nc
''microbe" has yet been discovered for this
new disease.
In Germany the medical profession has
adopted a system for separating the bright
pupils from the stupid ones, the sorting
process being carried out not by the
teachers but by medical men. This is a
most excellent idea, and should be carried
out in every school in the United States,
SO that the standard of school work may
be better adapted to the individual pupil,
thus preventing overwork with the almost
invariable mental and nervous prostration.

The Teeth of Our School Children.
For the past ten years my practice has
been in community that number. among
its citizens many persons of culture and
refinement, others whose exterior appor-
tionments of life were all that could be de-
sired, and whose children were beign
trained in all the arts and sciences of the
day except that of cleanliness of the mouth.
We have thousands of this class. l have
examined and worked for hundreds of them
in the past ten years. The ignorance on
the part of the parents, and neglect on the
part of the children who know no better is
one of the wonders of the nineteenth CEN
tury.
In one school of 700 pupils, 500 from 10
to 10 years of age, L distributed printed
slips with the following questions: Do
you cleanse your teeth with brush every
day? Do you cleanse your teeth with a
brush twice day? The teachers requested
the children to answer the questions by
writing yes, or no, to each question. The
slips were Immediately gathered up. On
summing up, it was ascertained that out OF

JOEL c. NEWBERT'S DEATH
The Quartermas ter of Com
pany A, First Regiment
National Guard.
He Died at the Very Hour Fixed
for Swearing Him in for His
Third Term.

A singular coincidence happened in
connection with the death on Friday night
of Joel G.. Newbert at his residence, 31S
Noe street.
Newbert had been connected with Com
pany A of the First Regiment, National
Guard, for six years. His second term OF
three years expired on Friday. He was
for five years quartermaster of the COM
pany, and no member worked harder for
its benefit. During the troublous times
last wear in connection with the railroad
strike Company A was sent to Truckee to
do service with the Fifth United States
Artillery, and while there Newbert as
quartermaster rendered most efficient
service.
Sunday last Captain Marshall called to
see him. He was suffering from infiam-
matory rheumatism and kidney troubles,
but nothing serious was anticipated.
"Well, captain" said he, II will be down
on Friday night to be sworn in for my
third term"
"All right, Joel, replied the captain. 81
will be there to swear you in"
Almost at the very hour Newbert would
have been sworn in he drew his last
breath

with side arms as mourners. There will
also be firing squad of eight men under

American dentistry leads the world to-day,
and the world justly honors us for the
great advances we have made In the pres
eryatlon OF teeth; but the fact still con-
fronts us that millions of teeth are annu-
ally lost in America that need not nave
been sacrificed if proper care and cleanlI-
ness of the mouth had begun in chlld-
hood and continued to manhood ana
womanhood.
The dentists of America have done much
to educate and train our citizens IN the
care OF their teeth. We must do more AT
the same time, in order to multiply. our
usefulness, we must solicit the aid OF our
teachers. With their cooperation we can
reach and train millions OF children.
A majority of the children of our land
are in our public schools. They are under
the teachers instructions from to II years
OF age. Ii the teachers were required 10
instruct and train the children In the
proper care of their teeth, and to insist
upon their carrying out such instructions
practically at home, we would nave accom-
plished-or at least beguh-a great work.
If such pupils could be trained from In
fancy up through all the grades to the high
school, am very sure we would see men
and women with better teeth than the
average American of to-day. The teachers
are the only ones who can do TINS work.
The parents of large centage OF the
pupils are ignorant and careless almost De-
yond belief, and their children will follow
in their footsteps unless the dentists OF
America come to the rescue-Dr: ). y.

POLITICS IN 1896.

That one of the old parties will elect
its candidate for president in 1896 may
be conceded, and the success of the dem
ocratc cause will depend entirely on the
attitude of that party toward the ques
ton of the free coinage OF silver.
The republican party, by record of
nearly thirty years, is pledged to the
contraction policy Of the banker and
money lender, and may be counted on to
stand for gold recommendation, both in its
platform and the character of its nomi.
nee. BY the pressure of strong pub.
lie sentiment both parties will be re.
quired to meet the question OF silver
coinage squarely and no half way posi-
tion will be satisfactory, nor will any
doubtful attitude he tolerated. Each
must meet tho issue boldly and without
equvocation both as to platform and the
record of its nominee.
The record OF the democratic party, al
shown by its accredited representative
for quarter of century and up to tn,
last congress, has been favorable to thu
cause of the coinage Of silver at the ratio
existing prior to tho act OF 1873. II til,
convention Of 1896 will place the part.

FOR MURDER.

During the past week two notable
convictions for murder in the first de
gree have taken place one OF Theodore
Durant, in San Francisco, and the other
of Henry H. Rolmes, in Philadelphia.
In the case of Durant the crime
charged against him was one of the most
revolving character, and the evidence,
though altogether circumstantial, was
more than usually convincing, the state
having presented chain of circum-
stances so complete as to fix the guilt
upon the defendant beyond any reason

with having murdered a young woman

church wherein he yHae leading com.

He is also indicted for the murder oil

guilty of the horrible crimes with which
he is accused, or either of them, he de

FORT STANTON.

The abandonment of Fort Stanton,
which has been suggested by Gen.
Miles, would be felt by the people OF
Lincoln county in more ways than one.
While the presence OF troops at this post
creates market for many OF the prod
ucts OF the vicinity, this fact could not
be presented as satisfactory reason to
the war department for their retention.
But until the government consolidates
the wild and savage Indian bands and
locates them in some place where they
can be properlyaud economicallywatched
by the army, it ought to afford settlers
in the vicinity OF each tribe or reserva-
tion reasonable protection against pos
sible raids of these lawless barbarians.
1t is true that the Mescalero band of
Apaches, for many years located in the
| White mountains south and west of
Fort Stanton, have not been trouble
some to the white settlors since the days
Of Geronimo and Name, but how much
| this state Of things is due to the imme
diate presepco of the soldiers at the Fort
could not be determined. II the re-
straining influence Of the garrison has
contributed to tho security of those re-
siding near the reservation, which is the
prevailing sentiment, it would seem an
act of inhumanity to remove the troops
as contemplated. If the United States
army, in these times of peace, has mis-
sion, it must be in the line of the pro-
lection of citizens in frontier settle
ments exposed to the possible dangers
which confront those near the bands of
uncivilized Indians 80 recently at war
with the march of improvement and civ
iization.
There is no military post which can
afford the protection to the settlers il
this region that Fort Stanton supplies
If this post is not a necessity, then there
can be none for the army. and it nigh
as well be mustered out. Washington
New York, Chicago, Denver, Ell Pase ant
other cities where troops are garrlsone,
have nothing to fear, at this time, from
foes, foreign or domestic, and why TAX
them from such places as Fort Stanton
where they afford security to the live
