A Study of I’Uildrea’a Teeth.
For two or three years Dr. Samuel
Sexton has been engaged io an investi
gation of the teeth of school chi.dren
with special reference to the influence
of decayed teeth upon the sight and
hearing of children so afflicted. The
investigation was suggested by the al
most constant occurrence of defective
teeth iu cases of iufljmatory diseases of
the eye and ear.
In the course of bis work, the Times
states', Dr. Sexton has taken hundreds
of accurate casts in plaster of the in
terior of the mouth iu cases that have
come under his notice, and has collect
ed a cabinet that is invaluable as a con
tribution to science. His method has
been, first, to take a complete cast of
the internal cavity, and then from it to
mould each jaw separately, and unite
the two posteriorly with a neat brass
hinge, so that the state of the teeth,
their peculiarities can be observed at a
glance. He has found a pretty con
stant association between mynpia, im
paired hearing, and defective teeth, the
cause of which he believes to lie in the
distribution of the fifth pair of nerves,
which is at once a sensory, motor, and
trophic pair, supplying the teeth, the
tissues of the none, those of the eye
and ear, the integuments of the frontal
and temporal region, and so on. Irri
tation of the whole region is conse
quently produced by a defective tooth,
anl, in point of fact, some of the
sevrest cases of neuralgia, temporal,
facial, and ophthalmic, arise from im
paired teeth ; often in cases where the
teeth themselves give no trouble what
ever, and none save the acutest medi
cal intelligence can truce any relation
between the fierce attacks in the eye,
ear or temple, perhaps, and the caried
tooth that gives no local trouble what
ever. In a few cases progressive
dementia has been arrested by imme
diate repair of a tooth that produced no
apparrnt disturbance, but was respon
sible for deep-seated cerebral trouble;
but these case; have been too few to
lay stress upon them as factors in the
investigation. On tho other hand,
troub’eswith the eye and ear are often
tracabie to defective teeth, and Dr.
Sexton regards irritation of the maxil
lary limbs of the fifth pair as among the
principal causes ot the progres;ive
nearsightedness of school children, as
observed by Drs. Agnew, Loring, Parke
Lewis, Kohn, and other opthalmo-
logists.
Sunning in Ca ndidntes for
Matrimony on ComiHinnion.
The driver ot a covered baggage wagon
rushed up the stairs leading to Jastice
Young's office a few mornings siuce, in
quiring for the constable. That official,
being readily at hand, inquired what was
wauted.
“Why,” said the driver, “I've got a cou
ple dowu stairs that wants to be married,
and I want my commission in advance.”
“How much commission do you waut?"
iuquired the constable.
“A dollar.” said the driver. “They cmae
near getting away from me iu the depot,
but I kuew what they wanted when I saw
them get out of the care. So I says to the
man “You want to get married don't
you?” “Yes, we do,” says he. “All
right.” says I, "just get into the wagon,”
and in they got, and they're down at the
door now; but I want my commission
first, and then the judge can marry them.”
The commission was paid and the driver
led the anxious couple into the preseuce
of the judge and than drove off. In
conversation afterwards the driver said to
an iuqusitive person who had heard his
demand :
“That's one of the ways we make a liv
ing. We are always on the lookout, and
when we see a stranger come to town we
can nearly alwavs tell what he is after.
Theu we get him into the wagon and take
him where he wants to go.”
“suppose they wont pay the commission
after they get through with the customer.”
“Oh, but they always do. We won't
take people where we ain’t sure of our
commission, and when we know just what
it’s goiug to cost, like marrying people, we
get the commission in advauce.”
How can you pick out a couple that
that want to be marrried ?”
“Well, we're onto that mighty slick.
We can meat always tell. They both look
a little spooney-like, especially ike gal.
*vnd then they are dressed sorter fine—iu
their store clothes. Them light veils gives

Beat at HU Owa Game.
It is easy to break a man of being* nu
isance if you go at it right. There was a
case over ou Sixteenth street, New York,
not long ago which shows that as soon as
you beat a man at his own game that set
tles h'm. Fred Pahlman, au eccentric
character, lived in the upper story of a
small house, with his family, and in the
lower story lived a man who was quite a
hunter. He had a couple of pups that he
was breakiog, aud he would sit up half the
night snapping caps on his gnu. and throw
ing boots across the room for the dogs to
retrieve- The uoise became very anoying
to the family upstairs, as the dogs would
run and bark, and make as great a racket
as possible. Mr. Dahlman tried to reason
with his neighbor, and induce him to quit
this dog breaking downstairs, but be was
ugly and said he paid for the plaje, and
would do as he pleased.
Dahlman said that was all right, and he
went up stairs and got four wash-tubs of
water, and a fish pole and line. About ten
o'clock at night, when the dog kindergart
en was running at its height, Dahlman
pushed the tub of water down stairs, aDd
the water ran all over the house. The
dog breaker came out into the ball aud
waded through the water, aud looked up
stairs and wanted to know what in thunder
was the matter. Dahltnau was sitting on
the top stairs, smoking his pipe, and hold
ing the fish pole with the line dowu in the
hall, as calm and peaceful as though he
didn’t care if he never had a bite.
“O, nothing,” said Dahlman, as he lit a
match on the shoulder of his pantB. “Nod-
ing, only I tout while you vos hunting I
would yoost catch a few fish for break
fast."
That setlted it. The hunter broke his
dogs after that with a club id the back
yard, aod Dahlman swore off on fishing.

When the town of Poker Valley. Neva

“Can you give sinners—right front the

The clergyman modestly replied that he
thought he could,
“And do you play a fair game of seven
up ?”
“Mercy, ho!”
He was horrified at the thought.
“Well,I didu’t know,” replied the dele
gate. “The boys said as how if you play
ed poker or seven up or wanted to run

Profitable Politeness.
The Boston Traveler, in commenting on
rudeness gives the following incident that
huppeued some^ears ago
There was a very plainly dressed, elderly
lady, who was a frequent customer at the
then leading dry goods house in Boston.
No one in the store knew her even by
name All tbe clerks but one avoided her
aud gave their attention to those who
were better dressed and more pretentious
The exception was a young man who had
a conscientious regard of duly and system.
He never left another customer to wait on
the lady, but when at liberty he waited on
her with as rnacli attention, as if she had
been a princess.
1’his continued a year or two, ’til the
the young man became of age. One morn
ing the lady approached the young man
when the following conversation took
place:
Lady—“Young man do you wish to go
into business for yourself?”
“Yes, madam” he replied “but I have
got neither money, credit nor friends.”
“Well,” continued the lady, “you go and
select a good location, ask what the reDt is,
and then report tome,” Lauding the young
man her address.
Theyoung uian found a splendid location
and a good store, but the landlord required
security, which he could not give. Mind-
ful'of the lady's request hs forthv ith went
to her and reported.
“Well,” she replied, “you go and tell Mr
that I will be responsible.”

A Strange Occurrence,
The Rome Bulletin is rosposible for the
following:
We learn from Mr. Harrison that rather
a singular coincidence occurred a few days
since near Rome. Next mouth two years
ago a little niece of his was playing in a
creek near her home and accidentally lost
a gold rng off her finger, and was never
able to find it until last Wednesday. On
that day a member of the family caught a
good size turtle in the creek near the
place where the ring was lost, and when
the turtle was cleaned for the table, what
could have been a greater surprise than
How to Shake Hands.
There are only two people living who
can successfully shake hands. There is a
good deal of hand-shaking done through
the country, especially at this season of
the year, but^only a very small per cent, ot
the shakers know how to do it so as to
get the entire amount of exhileration out
of it. Some grab the hand of40 adversary
in a quick nervous manner that scares tbe
victim nearly to death, while others slide
the cold and clammy paw at you so that
you feel the same as when you drop a cold
ruw oyster, with vinegar on it, down your
back.
If you are shaking hands with a lady,
incliue the head forward with a soft, grace
ful, yet half-timid, movement, like a boy
climbing a barbed-wire fence with a fifty-
pound watermelon. Look gently in her
eyes with a kind of pleading smile, beam
on her feature a bright and winsome beam,
say something that you have henad some
one else say on similar occasions, and iu
the meantime shake her baud in a sub
dued yet vigorous way, not as though yon
were trying to make a mash by pulverizing
her fingers, nor yet in too conservative
manner, allowing her hand to fall with a
sickening thud when you let go. Care
should be taken also not to bang on to tbe
band more than half an hour hour in pub
lic, as bystanders might make remarks.

At a literary meeting, Mrs. Duniway
“toasted” the men aa follows : -“God
bless ’em’ We halve theirjoys, doable
their sorrows, trebble their expenses,
quadruple their cares, excite their
affections, control their property, and
out manojuvre them in everything.
This would be a dreary world without
men. In fact, I may say, without ’em
it would not be much of a world any
how. Wo love ’em, and the precious
fellows dou’t know it. Aa husbands,
they are always convenient, though
not always on hand, as beaux they are
by no means matchless. They are most
agreeable visitors, they are handy at
State fairs, aud indispcnaible at oyster
saloons. They are spleudid as escorts
for some other fellow s wife or sister,
and as friends they are better than
women. As our fathers they are in«
exprcssibly grand. A mau may be a
failure in business, a wreck in constitu-*
ticn, not enough to boast of as a beauty,"
nothing as a legislator for woman’s
rights, and even not very brilliant as a
member of the press, but if he is his
own father, we overlook his short-com
ings, and cover his peccadillos with the
divine mantle of charity. Then, as
our husbands, how wo long to parade
them as paragons! In the sublime
language of the inspired poet:
We’ll lie for them,
We’il erv tor them,
