KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

ca IN sudden Emergencies.
From the Boston Transcript
Apropos of the question Of cruelty to an
imals, a correspondent sends this story!
Two men were walking along a shady path
in the woods of Northern New Hampshire
recently. One of the men owned a beautl-
full dog, and the animal was bounding
along in advance of them, shifting here and
there, and looking frequently up into the
branches of the tall oaks which lined the
way. The men were conversing. Mr..
Hotchkiss was talking about his love for
all animated nature. His companion agreed
with him in that It was a downright shame
TO kill or abuse helpless animals of any
description. The barking of the dog in
terrupted them. Mr.. Hotchkiss spoke in
a vexed and angry tone and, striding for
ward, he seized piece of dead wood lying
near. See that dog worrying that poor
SQUIRREL said he 1T makes me so mad
I could kill the dogp'
This somehow reminds the Listener of a
speculation into which he was once plung-
ed by the conduct Of favorite cat. The
cat. which was a superb black one. wore
about his neck a collar, to which the
children had attached little tinkllng bell.
One day, in the garden, the Listener saw
the cat creeping up on a bird in a bush.
To prevent the tinking of the bell from
warning the bird, the cat was creeping
with such a slow and steady movement
that the bell was not shaken a bit, and
was perfectly silent. 1t was an admirable
performance The bird must have seen the
cat but acted as If charmed Then the Lis
tener wondered lis it my duty as hui
name person, TO make a noise and scare
away that bird, so that 1t shall not be
caught and eaten2" It occurred TO him
that it might be inhumane to the cat, af-
ter all the pains and skill involved in
keeping that bell still, to interfere with
his performance. 1t might be a shock to
the whole physical and moral system to
scare away the bird a that moment One
should beware Of interference with the es-
tablished economy of nature
And yet It could not be said that the cat
needed the bird. He had abundance Of
food given him every day at the house.
His attack on the bird was mere wanton
destruction-a killing for the fun of 1t, no
more justifiable than mems hunting 1t
would be right TO warn the bird. And vet
who could blame the cat for obeying hig
most essential instinct? He had no moral
responsibility; his right to kill the bird
was derived from the organic law of ma

observer from the obligation of humanity?
Clearly. he was bound
But at this juncture the cat sprang
swiftly through the air-the bird fiuttered
too late! The cat had 1t in his Jaws, ana

INSENSIBI.E 10 PAIN.
Curious Ways In Which 1t Is Secured
Without the Use of Anesthetics
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
An interesting point has been brought
out in the discussion of the dental section
of medical association on cetaphoresis.
Cataphoresis is the most modern method
of causing the tooth and gums or any
part of the body to become insensible to
pain. The ordinary method of its exhibit
ton is to saturate a piece of cotton with
cocaine and apply the cotton containing
electrode to the part to be influenced
weak electric current being turned on in
the meantime In from one and a half to
ten minutes the part becomes "obtunded,"
or benumbed
A dentist who took part in the discussion
said that he had held back-much to the
surprise of some of his professional breth-
ren-from the active recognition of cata-
phoress in dentistry, and he would now
enhShten the association as to his reasons
for doing so. The extraction of teeth by
electricity was common as far back as
1856 but the real cause of any merit in
that method was that the shock produc-
ed at the instant the forceps were applied
produced diversion of the will force by
causing a sudden and violent inhalation
into the lungs. While the lungs remained
inflated the effect was excellent, for the
senses were, for the instant submerged
or subjugated He discovered that the act
ual insensibility to pain arose from the
sudden inhalation Of air, and thenceforth
abandoned the use of electricity and de-
pended upon rapid breathing alone. In
conclusion, he said to his confreres: you
now know why 1 abandoned electricity for
obtunding sensitive dentine and for ex-
tracing, for this revelation of how nature
relieves gave me the clew to the brighter
step which dentists have been slow to re-
cognize as fact. Had they done So then
you would not to-day be looking for any
other agent in most of the cases that 1t
is our lot to have"
Subsequently another practitioner stated
that he had made frequent use of the rap
id-breathing method to obtund pain for
some sixteen years, and he thought IL the
real effect of rapid breathing were better
understood 1t might have wider applica-
ton than in dental practice. There are
many ways in which a state of disordina- |
ton of the nerves of feeling may be pro- |

The Problem Of Life.

Every sensible doctor knows that the
great problem Of life and health is a
problem of repair, If he could only find
some means to repair the rapid waste Of
tissues IN the human structure faster than
1t goes on, there is no disease which he
could not conquer. He is like the alehem-
lists of olden times continually seeking The
one magical solvent which should turn all
things into gold.
The wasting, lingering diseases which
come from deep-seated constitutional
weakness completely reverse all the nat.
ural conditions of the organism. The
waste increases TO a frightful degree
while every normal process of repair is
entirely suspended. The drugs which are
efficacious In some acute or merely local
troubles are of no avail. The average

and Mrs. George Gould.
The cloaks are cut nearly all on the same
lines. Loose at the waist, slightly in
creasing in size from neck to hem, with a
very gradual tapering at the waist. They
are of light broadcloth, almost white, with
collar of deeper shade. They are double
breasted and button down the front with
white pearl buttons. Shorter cloaks of the
same pattern are also worn.
The evening style embrace trimmed
skirts and overskirts One of these is
a fine goods shirred upon tiny bands of
black satin ribbon, which Is woven in
the goods. This overskirt is short on
one side and very long on the other and
trimmed with taffeta ruffles or reseda.
Another dress of damson cloth has a
passementerie design on each side in
black jet. Deep founces of damson silk
trim the sides and back, thus giving an

encouragingly, "the people will be glad

the visitor
Il should say they wasn't. There's a
a good deal more difference than that,

more or less triumphant tone, turning to
go out of the engine room.

pointing out from the elevator, lis the

rupted the groom.

Paris, Nov. 3.-Paris dressmakers are in
a futter of excitement this week, for they
are boxing and shipping gowns for the
New York horse show, which begins Nov
Is. There are more dresses sent over for
this event than for the Patriarchs ball.
and more designs come out of the work
shops of the artistic head of the great
ladies' designing establishments for this
event than for that of an international
wedding.
American society takes its start for the
season of 1S97-'98 from the horse show,
and the fashions you see there will be the
ones that will prevail all winter. OF this
we are assured.
The chrysanthemum will be the flower
of the winter the popular one being a
curley leaved. cabbage shaped flower that
takes the place of whole corsage bou-
quet. This flower will be largely worn
if we may judge from the conversation
Of the women who order fine gowns. 81
