THE THREAD TO0rH.
Business Brought to Dentists by Firmly
Noted Habit of Women.

"You may talk about your bicycle
foot and your golf arm and your meer-
schaum mouth said the dentist,
brusquely. why, they're not in it
with the thread tooth. Whenever a
woman comes to me and complains that
the edges of her teeth are all rough and
jagged and she doesn't know what in
the world she is going to do about it, |
ask her right off what her business is.
III she says she sews | am able to dag
nose that case of jagged teeth at once.
] tell her she has the thread tooth.
Then she wants to know what mean.
DON'T you bite your thread?' | ask.
She always hens and haws for spell
before answering, Well, maybe do. :
And then | say, OF course you do, >
and proceed to give her some good
advice which she, in turn. will proceed
to disregard the first chance she gets.
"Some day I'm going to get up u
lecture and advertise it to be delivered
before women only. In that way iii
be sure to draw big crowd, and when
/ get whole grist OF femininity within
hearing distance I'm going to preach
at them for all I'm worth. My text
will be The Thread Tooth Why you
women will persist in doing such sense
less things when you know the result
is going to be more or less harmful is
something l can't for the life Of me
understand, but it is a fact that nine
out of ten of you who use tho needle,
be it much or little, will go on biting
as f nothing better than toeth had
ever been invented for the purpose OF
severing thread. verify believe that
il woman had a dozen pairs OF shears
within reach she would bite her thread
instead of clipping it, which really
doesn't take second longer.
but | don't bite hard my callers
always protest when ] expostulate with
them. Great Scott what an argu
meat! Just as il person had to bite
clear through milestone TO break the
enamel on tooth. A thread is fine
delicate thing, to be sure, bnt so arr
some saws and files, aud all are sure to
cut their way through almost any sub
stance if applied persisteutly. Whom
get my lecture ready IN going to 50,
all this and good deal more. anf
I'm going to wind up with the advice
that I'm giving now to every woman
| who handles a needle: don't bite you
thread. Cut it or break it, or do an.
other old thing with it, but don't, i
you value your incisors, and your Gus
pids and your bicuspiis, saw it OF

STRATlNER'S HANDS AMpUTATED.
Sad Necessity Resulting from Fearful Acc
dent TO Roy ut EIectric Works.

ueht 10 poy tt Lttctfic Norkt.
Two week ago yesterday Frederick
Strattner, aged Il years, residing at
No. Sl9 West Sixth street, received
about 2,400 volts OF electricity into his
body at the Wilmington City Electric
Go. g works. where he was employed as
a gallery boy. He was found uncon-
scious, the flesh Of his hands burned to
a crisp, and some of it hanging from
two live wires. The fact that he had
taken moie electricity than is used for
the execution Of murderers in New
York, left small hope that he would re-
cover, and yet he did, in few hours,
return to consciousness. And he was
strong enough last week to undergo the
amputation of his hands. This was
done at the Delaware Hospital, where
he had been taken after the accident.
The operation was performed by Drs.
DANES A. Draper, Howard Ogle and
John Palmer, Jr. The left aim was
amputated above the elbow, and the
right arm below the elbow. Although
the boy is somewhat weak, be is in a
very cheerful condition CT mind. II.
