FILLING Teeth

1t is the custom with many persons
to grumble a little at what they con-
slider the dentists extraordinary
charges. 1t is also frequently said
that the dentist finds gold more
profitable, and that this is the reason
why he prefers to use it.
1t is not generally understood that
there is scientific reason for the en-
ployment Of this metal. Gold can be
welded into a solid mass while cold
1t is also susceptible of being pressed
into the smallest cavities and de-
pressions.
When once the cavity is properly
cleaned and the gold carefully put in,
care being taken that it fills every par
ticle of space from the beginning, the
union OF teeth and filling is nearly as
perfect as possible without the action
of heat.
A gold filling may be built up to al
most any size or shape required. None
of the acid secretions of the mouth or
stomach have any effect upon it.

The minister, it was expected,

anxious that her little boy should ap.

after a short conversation with the

and said. Well, my little fellow, can
you tell me your name?" Imagine

TERMS FOR WEEKLY SENTINEL:
Discovery of n French Surgeon
which VIII save Many Limbs.


DIR. Reclus, famous French sur
eeon. has discovered new and simple
mode OF treatment which revolution
ICES the methods OF treating injured
limbs. BY its use arms and legs so
injured that heretofore ampu -
been found necessary can be saved to
their owners. Whatever the extent OF
gravity Of the LESSONS, DR.. Reclus never,
under any circumstances, amputates
the injured limb, but merelywraps it in
antiseptic substances by veritable
embalming process, leaving nature to
separate the dead from the living tis-
sues.
This method of treatment possesses
the double advantage of being much
less fatal than surgical exaeresis, and
OF preserving for the use Of the patient,
II not the entire limb, at any rate a
much larger part than would be left
after amputation. lie advocates this
very conservative treatment on ac-
count OF the excellent effects OF hot
water, which he uses freely. After
the skin has been shaved and cleansed
from all fatty substances by ether,
etc., in the usual way, jet OF hot
water. go to 62 degrees centigrade
GAO to 144 degrees Fahrenheit), but
not higher, is made TO irrigate all the
injured surfaces, and TO penetrate into
all hollows and under all the detach-
ed parts OF the wound, without ex-
ception. This is the only way OF
removing all clots, and TO wash away
all foreign bodies, together with the
mico-organisms they may contain.
The advantages of hot water at this
high temperature are threefold: First,
hot water at this temperature is anti
septic, heat greatly increasing the
potency OF antiseptic substances.
Second, it is hemostatic THAT is,
stanches the flow OF blood. Third,
it helps to compensate for the loss OF
heat resulting from the bleeding, and
especially from the traumatic shock.
After the "embalming" process and
the dead tissue has been separated
from the living, the surgeon has moth
ing to do except TO divide the bone at
suitable spot. According to Reclus,
the results attained are remarkable

watching a boys Heart Beat.

The pulsations of human heart
were watched by scores Of trained
eyes the other day. Standing between
a Crooke's tube and a large box, in
which the observer shut himself out
from the sunlight, was boy, divested
OF coat and vest. To the youngster it
was something OF a circus" but to
the physicians who, one after another,
took their place In the box, it was the
exemplification OF an end-of-the.cen-
tury achievement Of science. For the
X-rays laid open to the human eye
the interior OF the boys chest, and
there, pumping steadily away, was to
be seen his heart, every throb OF
which could be discerned so clearly
that any irregularity might easily
have been detected. So simple is the
apparatus required, and 30 startling
the results. that the physicians be-
came enthusiastic over what they
termed the opening Of new era in
medicine and surgery.

An exchange remarks that il is not
mans educational qualifications or
social standing. Ii is not his moral
qualities or his religious training that
makes him useful citizen. 1t is that
man who takes an interest in every
public movement that will tend to open
the way for his fellow men to earn their
daily bread, that is a benefit to the
community. God forbid that honor
be given to the sanctimonious hypo-
crite who wastes his life in moral whis-
pering and docs nothing to help p-ac-

home OF our soul by enjoying life and
get all the good out Of it by working
moniously with our neighbors and
giving zach one credit for his good
qualities-and overlooking his bad
ones-we will have something to boast
Of. Heaven will take care Of itself and
neither God nor the angels will ask us
to waste the comforts of this life on the
supposition that reward awaits us
for our sacrifice. The idea OF making
a he'll on earth for ourselves and tax
ing our chances on plunge to perdi-
ton in the future, is absolute nonsense.

The city Of Damascus.

Damascus is the oldest city in the
world. Tyre and Sidon have crumbled,
Palmyra is buried under desert sands
and Ninevah and Babylon have dis
appeared; but Damascus alone remains
as it was in the days OF Abraham, a
center OF trade and travel.
Damascus is an island Of verdure in
a desert, with martial and sacred as
sociations extending through thirty
centuries. 1t was near Damascus that
Saul OF Tarsus saw the light. The
caravans come and go as they did
| 1000 years ago, and the merchants of
the Euphrates and Mediterranean
still crowd the narrow streets.
From Damascus come the damson,
our blue plums, and the delicious
apricot OF Portugal called damasco.
damask linen, the damask rose, which
was introduced to England in the
time Of Henry VIII.
Every one has heard Of the wonder
full Damascus swords, the secret OF the
make having been lost when Tanner
lane carried off the artists to Persia.
The swords are remarkable. flor their
keen edge and wonderful elasticity.
From Damascus came the art of in
laying wood and steel with silver and
gold, called damascening, this method
of decoration being used to beautify
boxes, bureaus, swords and guns.

Bank Note Paper.


The nine kinds of notes printed by
the Bank OF England are all on thin
white. crisp paper. The ink used il
black--a hard, dry preparation, said
to be made from nsptha smoke.
A popularity of the English notes
10 that the engraving is simple and
old-fashioned, in contrast to the notes
OF other countries, which are mosi
elaborately engraved by complicated
machinery, the designs being difficult
Of imitation by hand, and the lathes
and ruling engines being SO costly as
to discourage counterfeiters.
The English paper is made by a
private concern, as is that in use in
the United States, the pulp OF the lat.
ter being a mixture OF linen, cotton
and silk, the silk threads coming into
prominence after the printing.
The French bank note paper is Of
similar texture, hair being used with
the pulp instead Of silk threads. Over
$4,000 notes are issued by the Bank
Of England daily of an average value
Of $100.-New York Journal.

The nickname "Uncle Sam," as

initials, and "U. s." for United

familiar to Wilson's workmen, who
inquired what they meant. A face

afterward passed through Wilson's
hands marked in the same manner
and he was often joked upon the ex-

spread through all the departments o
