ELECTRICITY IN DENTISTRY.
Coming to De n Great Boon to Suf-
ferinS Humanity.

In dentistry cataphoresis is supplant-
ing many of the primitive methods,
from the reproach of which even that
progressive profession has for many
years past >ainly endeavored to es-
cape, and has made actually painless OPP
erations at least possible. For by this
method cocaine eau be applied not only
to the soft tissues of the body, but to
the hard substance of the tooth. The
teeth, although coated by superficial
skin-the enamel-internally are COM
posed of a tubulous structure called
dentine, quite capable of conveying cur
rent, since within the little tubules is
inclosed a gelatinous filament rich In
salts and fluid, which make it good
conductor of electricity.
If cavity in the tooth-which is
constituted cavity for the reason that
the enamel has been destroyed and y
portion of the dentine has been en-
eroached upon-is filled with a pledget
of cotton saturated with solution of
cocaine, and to this pledget is applied
a piece of platinum wire connected to
the positive pole of ordinary gal
vanic battery, and a very small current
is allowed in period varying from six
to 80 minutes. according to the ability
and knowledge of the operator-thc
shortest period recorded is a minut e
and a half-the cocaine will be con-
veyed by the electric current down the
tubules to the nerve itself, and the
dentist can proceed with the dreaded
reparation of the tooth without pain
10 the patient. The tooth can be e:N-
cavated. filed, or even extracted with
out the infiction of the slightest suffer
ing.
If one takes into account the steady
and accumulated agony of dental oIer-
ations throughout the world, and
considers the wear and tear of pro-
tractcd pain which they entail, he may
easily comprehend what an enorm Gus
boon to suffering humanity such a
process as this will be when generally
applied in dentistry.-George II. Guy,
in ChautauQuan.

He had then sailed forth again. ieav-
ing his wife, for all he knew, dead.
There was little I could do but creep
back to my solitary misery and spend
the night in agonizing reflections upon
the past But, when the day at length
broke, l had resolved that the man who
had robbed me of my darling, only to
maltreat and make her miserable. must
answer for his brutality to me.
There is. however, a higher power
than any we can WELD, which often in
tervenes in the affairs of man when
least expected: and, before L ever saw
Royal Phelps again that power had
placed him forever beyond the reach of
earthly retribution. While still half
wild with drink, he had mounted to
follow the hounds, and a few hours
afterwards was carried home-dead.
We never speak of those dreadful
days, now long passed. In the old home
to which Bertha clings with tenacious
effection-we are living a life as nearly
perfect in happiness as ever falls to
mortal lot. The old light has come
back to my darling's eyes, the old-time
buoyancy to her step. AS write these
lines. upon lifting my eyes l see her and
a smaller Bertha laughing and playing
upon the lawn together. and l know
that if the news of my death was the
beginning of misery for her, she is. at
least, happy forever.-St. Paul.

HORSE
DEATHS EXCEED BIRTHS.
Declaration Made That the Negro Race
May Be Extinct within a Century.

OeclaraCiOn haOe mat the Negro Race
May Be Extinct within a Century.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 3O.-Statis-
ticians, scientists and sociologists have
for some years declared that the negro
race in America is diminishing in num-
bers. This statement is based upon
the mortality reports of large cities,
and recent statistical publications de-
clare that the negro problem will set
tie itself by the extinction of the race
from natural causes within a century.
However true this may be, the reports
of the health department of Kansas
City show some remarkable facts
which have their weight upon
this subject. The table of NOR
tality statistics shows that there
were born in Kansas City dur
ing 1896 2,431 persons. OF these
2.231 were white and 200 black. The
deaths numbered 1,S73, of which 1850
were white and 1913 were black. Here
is the remarkable feature of these
figures: While 6S1 more white persons
were born than died during the year,
there were 1913 more deaths than births
among the negroes. When it is seen
that the negro population is less than
ten per cent. of the whole population,
these facts and figures are rendered
even more remarkable

A DOUBLE DEATH.


l look back now it seems to me
~ that 1 must always have been in
love with Bertha Maxwell. Certainly
I know that if 1 try to fix the time when
it became an accepted fact, upon which
I thought while awake, and dreamed
a thousand tender dreams while sleep
ing, l find it quite impossible to do so.
AS matter of fact, we had grown up
together. Herbert Maxwell. the bank
er of B-n, and my own dear old gov
ernor, who was a retired colonel and
lived on his pension and a small but
convenient income, which, alasi is now
mine through his death, had been life
long friends. And so when my father
returned from 20 years service in India,
it was taken for granted that he would
settle down in B@n and pass the
evening of his life with the dear old
chum of his boyhood.
Whether these two, as they sat over
their evening ''grog," laid plans and
wove schemes for the united fortune
of Bertha and myself L have never quite
known; but the ill-concealed grief my
father displayed when certain I'M
toward events came between us, and
for long, dreary, hopeless time blotted
the sun from our sky, led me to believe

hood and my awkward boyhood were
spent together. We played tennis, we
went fishing, we took long walks
through the beautiful country which
surrounded B-n, and we insensi-
bly, grew into each others lives, and
became daily necessity to each other.
At this time Bertha was to me the
most beautiful of human beings-in-
deed. she is so still-and never for a
single moment has anyone else seemed
quite so fair or so lovely. Her figure
1.-the and graceful; her step, when
she walked, buoyant with overlooking
health; and her cheeks dyed with that
rich hue often seen in those of south
ern birth; while her eyes were a once
serene and thoughtful, or trimming
over with mirth and mischief. She had
a thousand little ways peculiar to her
self. all of which. 1 now know, endeared
her to me.
However, l must come to nv story
for if 1 run on about Bertha l shall
never cease. The hair is frosty about
my temples now, and my step is not
SO quick as it once was, but little lady
who now walks beside me through the

A CORNER IN COAL.
Pittsburgh Firm said BE in Full Control
the Market.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 3O--By the
end of this week practically all the
coal in the Monongahela river district
will be in the hands of one firm. and
prices will be made by the lucky
possessors of the valuable mineral.
When the present strike began the
firm of John III. Jones & Co. saw that
prices must advance, and they quiet
ly went to work and bought coal
everywhere they could at prices
which now seem very cheap. They
have been keeping this coal, and now
practically control the coal trade in
this vicinity. When seen Mr.. Jones
refused to say just how much coal they
had, but admitted that the amount
was over 5000, 900 bushels. Inquiries
among other coal firms developed the
fact that there was very little coal out
side of that held by Jones & Co., and
that that firm would be able to get
their own price.

LONDON, Aug. 30.-The Times, in an
editorial article on the wheat question,
expresses the opinion that the era of
better prices is coming, closing the long
period of depression. caused by the
constant addition OF the acreage of
wheat, rendered possib by the extern

and the enormous increase of the tom

ALL RECORDS EcLIPsED.
The Great Star Pointer PAGES a Mile in Less
Than Two Minutes.

Than Two Minutes.
READING, Mass, Aug. 30.-The two
minute mark for harness horses, about
which experts have long written and
talked. was passed at the grand circuit
races here Saturday, the grand Chicago
pacing stallion, Star Pointer, owned
by James A. Murphy, going the full
mile in the phenomenal time of 1874,
thus necessitating the setting of a
new limit to the speed of light harness
horses Accompanied by runner, the
big bay Tennessee pacing bred stallion
wiped out the mark and had three
quarters of a second to spare when he
went under the wire. 1t was the most
wonderful performance ever shown by
a light harness horse and about 200
people went wild over it.
