The Navy as a Career.

There remains the consideration of
the navy as a career relatively to it's
place in the social organization, says
the Forum. The consideration accorded
to profession in any society depends,
not upon its intrinsic merits or advan-
tages, but upon the general aims and
pursuits of that society and upon the
value to it's interests that it recognizes
in the profession in question. A combi
nation of circumstances, which it is
needless here to analyze, have contrib
uted to fasten the attention of the citi-
zens of the United States pretty exclu-
Sfvely upon the internal affairs of the
country and to attach to the making
and having of money an Importance
paramount to that of all other factors
in life. Undoubtedly many other hui
man interests claim and receive a Ger
tain share OF attention, but money, as
the representative of power and the
means to qualification, may without
eXaggeration be said to have no COM
petitor so close as to be accurately
called a rival
In the navy money will not be found,
and as, if it stands for anything, it
stands for the representation of exter-
nal interests it fails there also to touch
keenly the chords that respond to the
sense of danger or advantage near at
hand. AS a matter of fact, the exter-
nal interests which are now generally
recognized as calling for the existence
and maintenance of a navy concern but
very small proportion of our citizens.
those who either reside or have bust
ness interests in foreign lands where
political conditions are unsettled and
justice at times hard to obtain. Whether
a wider embracing view of national in
terests will in the future be justified
and if justified will be reached by so
large number of our own people as
to constitute anything like a national
sentiment is a question upon which it
is impossible to speak with certainty.
My own opinion is that within the
probable lifetime of one now entering
the service such a sentiment will have
become general, owing to the course
that external events are likely to take,
not by the initiative of our own coun-
try but by the action of other states.
If this should come to pass the navy
will undoubtedly gain that width of
sympathy and recognition which by
the dignity it confers is of itself no
slight advantage to be considered in the
choice of a profession. In no event
will there be money in it, but there may
always be honor and quietness CT
mind and worthy occupation, which
are better guarantees of happiness.

VERY REALISTIC PLAY.

Boy Pretends to Hang Himself and
Does 1t in Earnest.
TECUMsEH, Okla, Jan. 9.-A peculiar
accident caused the death of the Ia
year-old son of D. J. Robinson, living
seven miles west of here. He was
PLAYING with long rope, pretending
to hang himself. One end of the rope
ran through ring in the ceiling and
the other was around his neck. He
jumped from some elevation, expect
ing the rope to slip through the ring,
but a knot in the rope caught and the
play became tragedy. His sister, who
had been talking to him from the
next room, came in after few min
utes to discover the reason for her
brothers silence and found him hang
ing by the rope from the ring, dead.

THE GOLD CANDIDATE.
Morton win BE Backed by the Financial
Interesta for President.

Interests for President.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Ex-Senator
Platt was in Washington yes
terday and was seen by several mem
bers of the New York delegation IN
Congress, who were anxious to learn
from him just what the official an
nouncement of the candidacy of Gov
ernor Morton for the presidency
meant. Mr.. Platt assured them that
it meant business, and that there
would be seventy-two delegates from
New York for the Governor.
Some of the New Workers who have
a leaning toward Speaker Reed asked
Mr. Platt what would be done about
second choice. He told them that moth
ing would be done at present. So far
as he was concerned he had no second
choice, and the second choice of New
York would be one of the last things
considered at the national convention.
1t is now said that Governor Morton
will be put forward as the representa-
tive of the gold sentiment in the Re-
publican party, and behind him will
be the large financial interests that
desire to maintain the gold standard
unim paired.

TREASURY RESERVE.
Heavy Shipments of Gold Expected for
some Time to Come.


Some Time to Come.
WASHINGTON, Jan 9.-The Treasury
yesterday lost S430 600 in gold bars,
which leaves the true amount of the
reserve S57, SCI, 204. So far as can be
learned the situation shows no signs
of improvement and no surprise would
be felt here if heavy shipments of gold
should be made on each of the out
going steamers Tor some time to come.
Both President Cleveland and Sec
rotary Carlisle are watching the result
of the call for popular loan with a
great deal of anxiety Should it be-
come apparent that the gold in the
Treasury is being withdrawn for the
purchase of the proposed bonds, the
President will, it is said, at once with
draw the advertisement for bonds,
and at once make a contract with the
syndicate for gold. 1t is believed that
he will not wait for the reserve to sink
much lower before doing this, pro-
vided it is evident that the gold is
being withdrawn in consequence of
the offer of bonds

IN DENTISTS, TRADE.
False Teeth Supplied where Natural

Moiars Would Answer.
''It is not to my interest to tell this to
the public said dentist to a New
York Journal reporter yesterday, 'but
1t is nevertheless fact, which no dem
tai surgeon will undertake to gainsay,
that there is scarcely ever any neces-
sity for a person to lose a tooth. no
matter what ails it. If people were
better posted in this matter few would
have artificial teeth, because they
tracted.
While many dentists encourage the
extraction of teeth because they can
make much more money by making
set than by filling or treating tooth
I do not do so. 1 treat people con-
scientiously, and, as you see, have
pretty good trade. For instance, If
tooth aches for no apparent cause, the
chances are that it is what we call a
dead tooth The nerve is dead. 1t
should in that case be 'opened'-that is
the enamel covering the bone on the
outer end should be drilled off and a
steel probe forced through the fibrous
bone as far as the root. If a bad odor
adheres to the probe when it is with
drawn, that is proof that the nerve is
dead and that the tooth is beginning
to ulcerate. The nerve should be ex-
tracted with hook probe, when it will
be seen to be dark, instead of white, it's
natural colorsa An antiseptic should be
injected into the opening thus made
with the probe then demulcent, and
when it has ceased to gather pus or gas,
or to be painful, it should be filled with
a temporary filling, and if at the end
of say eight days the pain has not re-
turned it can be filed permanently
This tooth may last for many years. It
is the kind of tooth which, when neg
lected, swells a persons cheek, which
cld-fashioned dentists have at times cut
in order to get at the seat of the
trouble.
liberated teeth can be treated in
similar manner, with equally good re-
suits. This is the kind of trouble which
is is most prevalent and which has been
the cause of people losing more teeth
than any other ailment.
"a decayed tooth that is not painful,
if properly filed, should last for years.
And even if painful, it could be pre-
served if treated as above and filled
when the pain has been dispelled.
people should have their teeth eX-
amined by a competent and conscien-
lions dentist occasionally, and as soon
as a cavity is discovered it should be
filed.
There is scarcely tooth that cannot
be saved by a good dentist. If dentist
advises you to have tooth extracted
and you know it is not hopelessly gone,
no matter how painful, go to another
dentist and tell him that you want that
tooth saved at all hazards. He will save
it for you. This may not, from mer-
cenary point of view, be business, but
it is the truth

ssThis last little Indian scare reminds

movement, which, / warn you, is not

fellows don't mind the tragic, here
goes:
About twenty years ago, two young
fellows, whom We'll call Tom and Jack,
started out to seek their fortunes
ranching in Arizona. The ranch fever
was Just then about at it's height.
England and Australia, as well as our
own East, were sending out idiots in
droves to the West. Young fellows,
many of them we'll educated and of
good birth and brought up to every
luxury. simply went wild over the
primitive freedom of that adventurous
life until, with capital exhausted,
downright hard work and privation in
evitable, they came to wish-heaven
knows how bitterly some of them
wished it-that they never exchanged
the commonplace comforts of civiliza-
ton for the intoxicating uncertainty
of frontier life. These two young
sters, having a tidy bit of capital be-
tween them on coming of age, con-

upon Arizona as the most favorable
spot for their financial experiment.
In a surprisingly short time they had
conquered every difficulty and made a
good start They built themselves a
