THE TORTURES EXPERIENCED ' IN GETTING A TOOTH FILLED. The Preliminary Twinges of 2 Molar and What They Lead Toâ€"I‘IOW' the Dentist Beguiles You Into Keep- ing the Tooth with a. Hole in It, "You really must have that tooth out. You have put it off as long as you possibly can, and you are not going to have any more nonsense about it. True, it wlll be painful, but the pain will be only momentary, and if you grip the arms of the chair hard and hold your head firmly against the back, the ach- ing tooth will be out in a jiffy. There is a science about getting a tooth pulled, just as there is about everything else, and you are going to show the friend who accompanies you that you can do it as scientifically as anybody could Wish. How foolish it is to pass countless sleepless nights for the sake oi {avoiding a little brief pain! You enter the dentist’s office with a jaunty air, for you know that if you don’t assume an air of jauutiness, you will let everybody see how terribly nervous you are. But you don’t intend to let any one see anything of the kind, for you have a reputation for forti- tude, which is more precious t3 you than all the teeth in the world. That is what you think before you get into the chair. The dentist comes up to you with a kindly smile, just as if he were not the very worst demon that ever walked the earth, and asks you in an olfhand way which one it is this time. You do not speak, for you are afraid that your voice may not be perfectly under your control, but you point suggestively to- ward that portion of your mouth which re- minds you of nothing so much as a red hot donkey engine. Then you mount to the chair. The dentist waits until he sees that you have opened' your mouth as much as you possibly can, and then asks you if you wo n’t please open it a little more. You nearly dislocate your jaw in a vain attempt to do ,_n_ _ 11 Annâ€"v waLVVWV\ JV...â€" 0" so, and then the dentist takes a small crow- bar and gouges the exposed nerve of your acher until you are ready to shriek with pain. J'L â€" J-_L:_‘- Law-n.- “Why, my dear sir,” exclaims the dentist, “it will never do for us to lose this splendid molar? It is one of the best teeth we have in our head and we really cannot afford to have it removed. We can save it, without any trouble whatsoever. The only thing the matter with it is a little ulce: ation about the roots and the absence of anything above the Your conscious feeling after the dentist has finished his oration is one of delight at the thought that you won’t have to have that tooth pulled after all. Then you wonder if the filling will hurt as much as having it drawn, but the dentist assures you that it won’t hurt at all, and he can do the Whole job in less than an hour. In a moment of weakness, for which you curse yourself a little later, you consent to surrender yourself to that fiend in human disguise, and glance around at the sofa to see if your friend has sneaked ofl‘ and left you helpless. No, hang him! he is still there, grinning in anticipation of your coming misery. Then the dentist, when he feels comment that he has compromised you beyond the possibility of changing your mind, goes about the preparations for his crime in a very deliberate manner. First he sharpens all of his tools, those that he is going to use and those that he is not going to use, in front of your face. Then, when he has reduced you to a state of imbecility by that means, he goes through a little warming up exercise with the automatic buzz-saw variously known as a drill and a lathe, in see if it is in proper condition for boring holes in your jawbone. When he has done everything that he can think of to drive you wild with fear, he smiles cheerfully and remarks that it is a fine day. Then you know how it feels to be fine day. Then you Know now It; men W Lu: hanged on a fine day. With the squirming, wriggling, terrible buzz-saw, held lightly between his thumb and forefinger, he forces half his hand into your mouth, and gently tears out a piece of the aching nerve with the drill. Then he runs the lathe, which is turning at the rate of 5,000.000 revolutions a minute. all around the raw edge of the root, and drills a double-track tunnel down through one of the roots. You writhe and twist, but his hand is pressing your head firmly against the back of the chair, and, strong man as you are, you are completely at the mercy of the assassin. After he has wiped the gore from his inâ€" fernal machine and tried some of the goug- ing-tools on his thumb-nail, he takes a, small syringe and squirts half a pint of ice cold water away down into the tooth. Then he digs around for several minutes with a medium-sized trowel, and smiles in fiendish glee as he notes the agonized rolling of your eyeballs. There! You wouldn’t keep still, you know, and the trowel has torna large piece from the inside of your cheek. It wasn’t his fault, you know. He couldn’t help it. If you couldn’t be still for a. few moments and sub- mit to a little pain, you mustn’t blame him for anything that might happen. "#1--“ LA But the worst hasn‘t come yet. 'When he has stanched your wounds and stuffed half ‘ a halo of cotton into your mouth, he puts the quivering nerve playfully with one of his confounded mining tools and remarks that it will take a. lot of gold. You think of the large amount of gold which you would cheer- fully give to any charitable institution, to be named by the Winner, if your friend would sneak up behind that man and fractui e his skull with a chair. Then the demist takes a lot of gold leaf out of a secret drawer and commences to roll it up in little pills that remind you of the time when you used to hit the pipe with your friend, the Chinese hit the pipe with your Il‘lenu, we uuiuese misâ€" traveller. Then, he places one of the little pills in the tooth, balancing it carefully on top of the nerve, and hits it a savage whack with a dwarf sledge hammer which he had hitherto concealed behind his back. Gee Whit-taker! That was the worst yet. You have heard of the tortures practised upon their prisoners by the cannibals, of hotpotting and cold- drawing, of dismemberment and back-action decapitation, but that was positively the worst, the very apotheosis of all human agony summed up into one short moment. of time. And that man actually thinks you are going? to let him do it again! Will you? Oh, yes; certainly! You are the most ob- ‘ liging lunatic on the face of the: earth. But 'you have to draw the line somewhere. You must make some distinction between friendly harshness and premeditated murder. See, he is rolling up another pill. Now he 73 1d who accompanies t as scientifically as How foolish it is to nights for the sake of the back, the ach- jiffy.

The mistress of the house among other articles of food placed a nice whole apple tart on the kitchen table be- fore the self-invited guest. The lady had occasion to leave the kitchen for a few minutes; on her return she noticed that the whole pie was gone, and asked the beggar, “What did you do with the dish?" He replied. “I h’aint seen no dish, but I did think the bottom crust was a leetle ” I tough. LL16 bengal tiger has more courage than the lion, according to a showman, wha states that the matter was tested in this manner: ”We placed a shooting cracker in the respect- ive cages and fired the fuses. As soon a“ the fuses began to bum they attracted the ut~ tention of both animals, but in a widely clif- ferent manner. The lion drew into a cor- ner and watched the prOCecdings with a distrustful and uneasy eye. The tiger, on the contrary, advanced to the burning fuse with a firm step and unflinching gaze. On reaching the cracker he took hispaw and be- gan to roll it over the floor, and when it ex. ploded beneath his very nose he did not flinch, but continued his examination until perfectly satisfied. The lion betrayed great fear when he heard the report of the explo- sion and for quite a time could not be mated out of his den.” POT-POURRI. )3 Di )Y( \Vha‘ 13 I‘OCK 10] it Oll 111 D
