Delicate Operation.

A delicate operation was performed yester-
day at the county almshouse hospital by DR..
James Monaghan which it is believed will
result in the full restoration of the mental
faculties of Benjamin Green, an inmate of
that institution. The operation was the rails
ing of a piece of the bone of the skull which
was pressing on the brain. 1t was necessary
to remove about four and half inches of the
scalp. About year ago Green, whose home
is at Giardville, was injured by fall of coal.
He finally lost his reason, and was taken to
the insane department.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
EnEiish workmen Have Many objection
to Their Introduction.


English workmen do not view with
complacency the Introduction OF the
American locomotives ON the Midland
railway They are not only an af-
front to their national pride. but they
see In them n positive menace to the
engineers trades union. which has
been one OF the most powerful in all
Europe. The American locomotive is
placed on the rails In Great Britain
at cost OF from 20 TO 30 per cent less
than the British makers can produce
the same sort OF machine. So the
working OF the American locomotives
Is watched with much more than ordl-
nary interest by men on both sides OF
the ocean. II the machines can be
made thoroughly adapted to British
requirements at such a saving OF cost
TO the British railway companies. II
means that the British maker must
produce them at like cost or else
be thrown out OF the market. That
means lower wages to the British
workman. and against that he will
hight with all his characteristic OBJ
stinacy. as he has to the Introduction
OF labor saving machinery. Even the
long drawn out and disastrous strike
which made possible the Introduction
OF the American locomotive, has not
taught them the whole OF their lesson.
There Is even now a proposition on
foot that the union OF locomotive
drivers shall adopt n rule prohibiting
members from handling an American
made locomotive. when the engineers
union shall reach the conclusion II II
does. that the Introduction OF the
American machine threatens seriously
the wages OF their trade.

II the proper amount Of care was
bestowed upon the teeth there would
not DO the complaints we hear from
day TO day. the teeth would last like
any other part Of the body. with only
the repairs made necessary by wear
and tear.
There Ia nothing better for the teeth
than preclpltatcd chalk favored with
wlntergreen, and II has the advantage
OF being cheap. Brush with this In
the morning and use only water on
the brush at night. For the rest OF
the day refrain from the use Of the

after the nights sleep. More harm Ia
done by too much brushing and too
much dentifrlce than by letting the
teeth alone.
There Is another caution I would
give in the care OF the teeth. Do not
use much soap II will mako the teeth
feel smooth and nice. but will not re-
move dlscoloration. saw an Instance
OF that In a splendid set OF teeth In a
pretty girls mouth. She decided to
discard dentifrice for white CASTLE soap
and had passed through a week OF that
treatment when met her. give you
my word she was a sight. Every one
OF her good sound teeth was trimmed In
black which required the best efforts
OF her dentist TO restore them TO any
thing like their former beauty. The
roughness Of dcntlfrice Ia necessary TO
remove dlscoloration and used In mod
