An Up-t0- Gate Dentists Office.

Among recent Improvements in
Brownsville worthy of note is the
residence and office building of DR..
c. H. Thorn, the well known dental
surgeon, on Elizabeth street, where
The HERALD reporter dropped in,
on his rounds, the other day.
Although it was built last year, DIR.
Thorn has just finished some
further improvements on the place,
and he now has probably one Of
the most substantial and nicely
furnished dentists offices of any
town in the state. The new brick
building is two-storied, and besides
the office rooms, has a commodious
dwelling attached. The doctor has
his offices upstairs, and has them
very attractively furnished, a hand
some linoleum covering the entire
floor, and Il handsome screen and
tapestry hanging separating the
front office from the rear. The large
work-room back of these is also
well fitted up, and here DrThorn
has all the material and appliances
for doing the most difficult bridge
and work, or other forms of
mechanical dentistry.
One interesting feature of the
furnishing Of this room is a cast
made from the original death mask
of the Napoleon the Great. DR..
Thorn made it himself from the
original, which was formerly in the
possession of DR.. c. Macmanus of
Matamoros, being undoubtedly
authentic. DR.. Thorn has made
several of these casts, which make
a valuable souvenir of the great
French emperor.

One of our English friends says she
always washes her blankets in dew.
This sounds like rather a difficult op-
GRAFTON. but is really an easy one The
blankets are put over the clothesline
and thoroughly but gently beaten with
rattan furniture beater until all loose
dust is removed. Then, early in the
morning, they are spread out fat on
the wet grass and left there, like Gid
cons fleece, until the grass is dried,
then turned and summed a bit Longer
before being folded and brought in.
The process is repeated three or four
mornings. as may be deemed necessary.
The great advantage of this is that the
blankets never lose their new wooIIy
look. OF course 1t would not be salts

and spotted. but from a sanitary point

mirable. and our friends blankets al

A certain Turk, according to rumor.
was once married to a yelled lady In
white in the presence of the sultan. AS
soon as the ceremony was concluded
the bride mysteriously disappeared.
The groom was led into an adjoining
room, where stood twelve ladies all
dressed in white, but without wells.

the sovereign, "her that Is your bride. -
As the man had never seen her face the
command bewildered him. eff you

poor man walked up and down the row
of beauties, but saw nothing whatever

Many boys have probably wondered
why frogs are cold to the touch. and
some of them look upon these little
creatures with a sort of horror. be-
lieving that they have no blood. But
such is not the case, for they have not
only blood, but they possess nerves and
can feel. Perhaps il this were more
generally known there would not be so
many heartless boys. who seem to take
special delight in terturing frogs and
toads. According to scientists, frogs
are cold blooded because they consume
very little air. 1t is the same with
fishes. Without a plentiful supply of
air there Is not much animal heat, be-
cause combustion is slow.
