Cistercian tenants. Bacchic revelry,

A very interesting operation was
performed in New York upon Kate
Farley by Dr.. Brewster, a dentist of
Lefferts place. Mrs. Farley has been
at the Memorial hospital for several
weeks with two compound fractures
of the lower jaw. The operation con-
sisted of cementing the upper and low
err jaws together, so that the broken
bones of the lower jaw may be held
firmly in place until the fractures are
healed. Until the healing has taken
place the woman will not be able to
open her mouth, so that nourishment
will be given her through tubes lead
ing through small apertures where
several of her teeth are broken out.
The primary part Of the operation was
similar to the process used by dentists
in making new sets Of teeth for persons
who have lone. DR.. Brewster first
made an impression of the upper and
lower teeth. From these impressions
he made a rubber splint which fitted
the impressions of the teeth. He then
cemented this splint to the teeth, clos
Ing the jaws firmly together.

BUSINESS AND PLEASURE.

In their weekly summaries of the

January 8. 1900.

The United States civil service COM
mission announces that a special ex-
animation will be held by its p%ostoffice
board of examiners in Laramie, Wyo.,

m. for the positions of clerk and car
rier in the postoffice in this city.

ing addresses. The arithmetic will
consist of tests in the fundamental
principles, extending as far as common
and decimal fractions and embracing
problems.

ton are as follows: Clerk. not less
than Is year; carriers, between 81 and
40 years. :
Applicants for carrier must weigh at
least 1875 pounds. must be not less than

general postal delivery of the city in
which the examination is held. Sub

be examined, graded, and certified, with
entire impartiality, and wholly without
regard to any consideration save their

The Earl and Countess of Meath are
setting a good example to Irish land
lords and others affected by the new
local government act, which has made
a great change in the rural districts Of
Ireland. Many Of the changes may
not be very palatable to those who
formerly ruled the roost," but the in
svitable has to be accepted. The earl
and countess ave an 'at home" at Kill
%duddery, their County Wicklow resi-
dence. to which "all sorts and condi-
tons of men" and women, irrespective
Of party or creed, received invitations.
Members Of the Dublin corporation,
members of the county and district
councils. etc, were amongst those bid
den to the feast. A gathering Of this
sort is distinctly novel in Ireland,
where class and mass do not commin-
gle freely.

In 1898 Winkler n Bacon sold their
wool for Az cents in Boston; several
days ago the same gentlemen sold their
wool in the same city for 1917 cents.
They Immediately wired their agents
to stop further sales until the price had
reached % cents. They yesterday re-
ceived an offer of % cents for their
clip but refused, holding out for their
fixed price OF % cents. This is the
same grade of wool as was sold in 1893
for Az cents. The sheepmen say there
is a scarcity of wool, brought about
partly by their having to sell many of
their sheep for mutton during the
clover-scented days of Grover. and
o that there is a great demand from
manufacturers the price is bound to go
even higher.

ELECTROPLATlNG SHIPS.


Experiments with Copper on a Tug
Prove Successful.
According to a report on the condition
of the bottom of the tug Assistance OF
the navy department, the electroplatins
of iron bulls with copper appears to be
a success. The Assistance was electro
plated with copper to a depth of me
thirty-second of an inch before 1t was
launched in 1895, and when it was TAX
en- out of the water at the Norfolk
navy yard a few days ago it was found
that practically no electrolysis had set
in and that the bottom was about clear
of b%arnacles Il other marine growths.
At no time since it was launched has
the Assistance been locked or cleaned.
During the four years it received a
number of hard knocks and was on the
rocks several times. 1t was found
necessary to patch over certain weak
spots as the result of these accidents,
and it was only in the vicinity of these
patches that any %galvanic action was
found. Owing to its clean bottom, the
speed of the Assistance has not d.
minished, while all the other tugs in
use in Chesapeake bay have been taken
out for scraping about once a month.
Experience shows that three months of
service in salt water reduces the speed
Of a vessel about % per cent, SO the
advantage OF this copper el%ectroplating
is at once apparent. The cost of the
plating is about SO a square foot. The
saving in docking would be enormous,
as the expense Of docking a vesselis
between $4,000 and $4,000.

MINERS FOR ADVANCE GUARD.

General Wood reports that the people
of Santiago are employed and content
ed; that the mining interests of the
province are in a hopeful way. We I'M
derstand that the agricultural inter,
ests around Santiago are not very
much, but it is a great copper and iron
district. Long ago the iron of Santi-
ago was sent for by iron manufacturers
in the eastern states, because of its pc
culiarly rich qualities for many works
which American iron did not well sup
ply. Captain Wilder of this city vas
superintendent of a copper mine back
Of Santiago for eleven years before the
COmstock was found in 1859.
Speaking of mines, We renew the
suggestion which he made last fall, that
the mining men of this region who are
very rich send W. or three experts to
the Philippines to look over two-or
three of those islands for minerals.
There is a belief that there is no end OF
gold there; that there are some mag
nlhcent copper properties and a great
deal of coal. Now that the rebellion is
about put down, men going there prop
erly Endorsed would have the help OF
the navy to take them to the outside
islands, and a sufficient guard to en-
able them to do some prospecting, and
the finding of a great copper belt there,
or a great gold belt, would come nearer
settling the Philippine question than
any other thing that could possibly
happen in the same length of time

SAILO RS SUPERSTITION.
Some of the Things That Bring BaS
Luck to q Ship.

oome OF the innings That Bring bAS
Luck to = Ship.
Pets are believed to bring good luck,
and when, in the recent war WITH
Spain, a man was struck and killed by
a bursting shell on the Texas, all the
sailors in the feet said it was because
the battleship was without a mascot.
The cat has a bad reputation among
seafaring men, most OF whom believe
that she brings ill-luck to a ship. If a
cat falls overheard and is drowned
tshe is always rescued If p%OssibleD, the
men will often leave at the next port,
believing the ship is doomed, and
have heard m~en-o'-war men cite the
case of the old KearsaTge as proof
thereof. On her last voyage the frigate
carried a cat and a monkey. A violent
feud existed between them, and on
their way north. one dark II stormy
night, Jocko threw poor Tom over
board, running along the rail and chat
tering like a fiend as the unfortunate
pet disappeared in the boiling waves.
The sea were running too high to ad-
nit of launching a boat, and puss was
left to a watery grave, but not without
many gloomy forebodings, which were
realized soon afterwards, when the
kearsarge stranded on the fatal reef.
To fall down without any apparent
cause is a warning of death in the i'm
mediate future. An American cruiser
was lying off Nice a few years ago,
when a seaman fell prone on the deck.
Upon rising, he went to his bunk, and
returning, placed a slip of paper bear
ing his mothers address in the hand OF
a messmate, saying he did not expect
to see home again. For the nose to
bleed only a few drops is believed in
the navy to ~foretell death in as many
days or weeks as there are drops OF
blood. You may hear a sailor sing at
sea, but he rarely whistles; whistling
is supposed to bring a hurricane, and
is always hushed by the remark,
There's a hurricane sailor here

AGRICULTURAL ALASKA.

Prof. C. C. Georgeson, agent of the
Department OF Agriculture, has just re-
turned from Alaska. He brought with
him a collection of very fine samples OF
grains and vegetables grown on the
newly-established experiment stations
at Sitka and Kenai, Cook Inlet. The
samples include several varieties OF
spring wheat, which matured perfectly,
and also a dozen varieties each of bar
ley and oats, besides rye, flax and buck
wheat. All Of these grains compare
favorably with grains grown anywhere
in the United States. The earliest SOW

How to Keep Cut Flower.

A lady who has spent a good deal of
time in Japan says that she has often
long period by burning their stems
with a piece of wood-not with a
match, be it observed, or the sulphur
would be injurious to the dover. The
Japanese say that the charrily process
causes the water to penetrate the stem
and sustain the flower. Whatever the
reason, it is satisfactory to learn that
by charring the stems of c~hrysanthe-
mums we may keep them in good CON
dition for a month or six weeks.

An Attempt to Exterminate Brigands.
A vigorous attempt has recently been
made to exterminate the Sicilian brig
ands. The notorious Elias band was
SO powerful that even great landed
proprietors, farmers and a mayor aided
the brigands in their sinister designs in
order to ecu immunity for them
selves. At last they were hunted to
earth in the solitudes of Mont Dorgolai.

another they were shot down BY the
