San I' rati' cisco ArgonatU. AUTOOUAPII AUTOPSIES. A Professor Who FretemU to Decipher Char acteristic! from Slgnntnrcs. "Autopsies hold on autographs, foca modorato," is a small and neat oflico near Union square A somi-paralytic man got out of his carrlago in front of the ollico, hobbled up tho front stops, nnd rang tho boll v'olontly. An assistant autograph surgoon camo to tho door, and, with a bow, showed tho paralytic old gontlo man up to tho main ollico, admit ting a Journal roportor at tho samo timo. Tho professor was holding an autop sy on a complicated and puzzling au tograph 111 an ndjoiuiiiing room. Ho loft tlio autograph on tho tablo only half cut up, and val!:cd in. Ho was a small nnd thin near-sighted man, with a roniarkably largo head, and his hair was gray. "Do you dissect autographs?" askod tho half-paralyzed man. "I make that a spooial pursuit," ro pliod tho gray professor. "1 have hold autopsies on tho autographs of some of tho greatest mon in tho country. Give mo a man's autograph and 1 can tell you his mental character." "Well," said tho cu-toinor, "hero is tho autograph of Presidont Clovo land. What would you say of itP" Tho professor turned the autograph upsido down, sideways, looked at it lirst witli ono oyo and then tho other, and then witli both eyes, and through a glass and under a microscope, and made four or live mental calculations and then said: "President Cleveland's autograph shows that ho is a person of gontlo nnd rollned nature, who lacks iirninoss and aggressiveness. Ho is too easily led and would do anything to oblige his party supporters. Hois so generous that ho would give away an ollico to the lirst man who asked for it. Ho HOoniH to bo a very nervous man." "What do 3ou think of Secretnry Evurts' autograph?" "It is tho handwriting of a man of powerful and inlloxiblo will. It shows a man somewhat piilogmatio aud stolid, who is not easily moved. 1 should tako it to bo tho autograph of an athlete or of a two hundred and fifty pounder," "lloro is tiio-autograph of Hubert O. Thompson." "A quick and norvous porson, evidently. A man who can not keep still. Wiry and sinewy. Doesn't care for monoy or political power. Is load of music. Plays base-ball and cricket well. Has a small appetite aud eats little. Should take more rest and nourishment." "Sympathetic temperament. Should adopt tho banting system. Honest as tho day Is long. Could bo trusted with any amount of money. Likely to client himself to avoid cheating others. Could bo put in solo charge of the bonanza mines and wouldn't steal a speck of silver. Would make a good comptroller of New York or an excel lent secretary of the treasury." "Well, what do you think of tiiis autograph," asked the paralytic man. "Do you think the man who wrote it could" bo trusted?" The professor took a little bit of paper with a name scrawled on it, looked at it. and Said: "1 should say he couldn't bo trust ed. That was written by a man who would commit forgery, rob banks, swindle widows, steal from tho blind. If lie were the cashier of a bank there wolildu't be auvthiug left in a few days but tho chairs." "Hold on," said the old paralytic; "I wrote that. That is my signature. 1 havo boon a bank cashier for twenty years, executor for half a dozen es tates, ami the treasurer of a base ball club and a silver mine, and 1 novel robbed anyone yet." "Ah, 1 supposed it was the auto graph of some clerk whom you sus peeled of embezzling some money. Come to look at it more closely, it duos look like tho autograph of nil hon est man, an honest and truthful man. 1 should say that the man who wrote that would rather cut oil' his right hand than make a dishonest penny." As tho old gentleman entered his carriage ho muttered something that had the sound of 'humbug." Kctv 1'orh Jo umul. Tho Pigtail as 11 llraui Regulator. With a population of 1100,000,000 Clilna lias not a siuglo insane asylum. This fact does not prove Unit there aro no lunatics among tho Chinese, but It shows that (hey are not sullleieutly numerous to mako an asy lum necessary. To what do the Chinese owo thoir exemption from brain diseaseP Vari ous explanations are given. It is said that the Mongolian enoys mental re pose. He does not tret aud worry. As his religion has been established for thousands of years ho lets it alone. Ho euros nothing about politics. There is no competition to stimulate' him. All tho business of life is regulated by the (iovornmont. Doubtless all thoso thiv-rs aro con ducive to mental sanity, lt the China man's equipoise is probably due to his pigtail more than anything olso. It takes good judgment aud a nice sense of proportion to make aud keep in or der a llrst-elass pigtail. It must hang evenly from tho middle of the head between tho shoulders. It aoU as a sort of balance weight. Somo mental concentration is required to keep a pigtail in order, and self-love, pride aud methodical habits aro all Involred in it. This may seem a trltlo, but tho human mind is controlled by trlllos. Our Chinese friends perhaps buildc-d wiser than thoy know when they lirst twisted thoir pigtails.

Thoro is, perhaps, no profession, tin oss it is journalism, says The Boston Ulobc, inoro suggestive of physical nlsory than dentistry. Even tho ucntion of surgery jars loss harshly m tho car; a fact due, no doubt, to a sortain vagueness It possossos, from ts practice not boing'conlinod to any no portion of tho human frame. This is not, as will bo scon, tho caso with lontlstry. What man can listen to laics of dentistry without n shuddor. Ro will listen with comparative com laconcy to a graphic account of tho ixtraction of a tumor, and yot havo .old chills run down his buck at tho nero mention of a tooth-pulling. Toll 1 story soniothing liko tho following mil soo what cfloct it will havo upon lim: "You know Brown. Well ho's had 1 torriblo timo with his tooth. His lentist told him ho must havo thrco iiolars, two incisors, and four bicus- ids extracted ami iivo others lillod. L'ho dentist was a littlo hard up, you )eo, and know that Rrown had money. iVoll, in extracting ono of tho molars 10 broko Brown's jaw and slightly racturcd his alveolus, thereby forcing uo of tho incisors through the chcok ono! Brown bore this with com nondablo fortitude; but that wasn't ill. In cutting away a canino for fili ng tho dentist encountcrod a livo md active norvo, which ho had sup losed dead, and when tho cold steel itruck it Brown went crazy, and it 00k four men to hold him." If, at his juncture, your hearer docs not urn pule, grit his teeth, and utter ,01110 exclamation of pity, ho has no dtyin his soul. Indeed, ft may well o said: "A touch of tootliacho makes ,ho wholo world kin." It is a woll-ostablisliod fact that oeth woro extracted and dental opor itions performed by means of iustru nonts long before tho Christian era sco works of Hippocrates and Aris otlc,) and it is worthy of noto that :ler:iclulus of Tarontuni, Horsphilus, mil Ernsistrutus woro recorded as lental operators as early as UOO B. C. Jut it is in tho works of Colsns, who lourishcd about 100 B. C, that the irst explicit directions for extracting cotli appear. It may bo well to state it this point a painful fact not gener illy known: George Washington voro false teeth! John Greenwood, vho was at tho battles of Bunker Hill ind Trenton, and subsoquontly prac .iced donistry, constructed several sots or him, one of which is, or was quite ocently, in possession of Dr. John Al- on, ot isow lorK. it is aiso voucuou I .n.l mil I. ...!!. t l,n I !! fl-n.., . vood for many years woro Goorgo's ust natural tooth as a watcli-oharm! ihades of history! that a tooth of tho father of His Country should danglo it the fob of an itinerant tooth-puller! t docs not make it any tho less start ing to remombor that that very tootli issistod George in pronouncing those lover-to-be-torgotton words: "1 can lot toll a lie, father; I did it with my ittlo hatchet." Tho thought is preg lunt witli sentiment. Boforo the custom of manufacturing colli from porcelain became general luinan teeth were held 111 highest os fmation for supplying dolioionoies. Iho oldest method of keeping thorn in llaee was to tie thorn witli ligatures of old or silver wire, silk, unbleached hread, sou-grass, or silkworm gut. As ato as 1781 AL lo Alayour, a dentist, idvortisod in a Philadelphia paper to my 5i guineas oacli for sound teeth, to 10 obtained from "persons disposed to ell their front tooth, or an1 ot them." Imagine what; complications might ro ult from such a custom. Jones, Jrowii, Smith, ami Robinson are loighbors. Jones is rich, his ncigli tors poor. Ho trades 011 their nocos ities, gets a corner in tooth, aud miles uomplnoioully at tho world villi four Brown molars, livo Smith neissors, and throe Robinson bieus lids! it will easily be seen that some liing of tills kind might cause much eoliug in a community. But what a ich legacy a man might leave if ho liod early in life. It is easy to imag 110 hearing a remark liko tins: "Brown lid not leave mueh except his teetii; nit they woro in good, marketable loudltioii. His wile got!: the molars, mil the others are divided among his hreo children." Or soniothing liko his: "There's young Robinson. Three oars ago ho had us lino a sot of teetii ,s any young man 111 town, and now 10's gumming it. Took to gambling, 011 know, and thoy went ono after ho othor." Or, "Smith took to drink, .ml now ho hus't a tooth in his head." Wo would mention, casually, to myotic desirous of adopting this lino ild custom, that we know of a good ot of tooth that can be obtained at tho ild rate, and we might do a littlo bet or than that if called for this week. In this connection a truo incident nny not be out of place. In n well mown liotol in tho western part of ho state thoro boarded last summer a 'oungman who wasaillioted with false eetli. One evening ho started up talis, carrying a lighted kerosene amp, and while passing through ono if the enterics ft 11 111 bled and fell and cattoring tho blazing contents on the loor. To make mutters still worso his oeth oame out aud foil in tho blazing orosono. At this juncture a door op mod near by and a bewitching young ady appoared. Tho unhappy youth vafted not to relloot, but siezing his colli, covered a thoy woro with hlaz tig keroseue, clapped thorn into his ......1.f nun L-,wnva wlmt In QiifV.tt.

And vet teoplo talk about tho young Spanish toy who stole a wolf, concealed it tin ier his uiautlo, aud let It eat his hoart mt rather than divulge his guilt! The forceps is probably tho oldest ooth extracting instrument known, n luidon forceps having beou placed in lie temple of Auollo at Dolphos, by Sraslstratus, 300 B. 0. It was not natirially difl'eront from tho forceps if the prcsout day, though it has from imo to time undergone many changes. Vhat was known as a turnkey was largo y used in tho early part of tho present :ontiiry. It had a handle like a eork crew, and worked on the principal of 1 lever, in using it 11 dentist placed -lis patient ou tho door and took his or Uoi head, us tho caso iull)t bo, between his knees. Imagine tho dig nilicd Geo. go stretched to a supine po sition on tho lloor, while Dr. Green wood wrestled with his few remaining molars! The subject is not often touch ed upon by historians, but it is quite possible that George displayed as much true heroism on this occasion as ho did at any other time of Ids lifo. Somo of tho nioro primitivo meth ods of extracting teotli uro worthy 0 mention. Ono was to attach 0110 end of a stout string to the offending tooth, tho othor end to the handlo of a half opened door, and then suddonly closo tho door. Tho samo objoct was somo times attained by fastoning tho string to a window-sill, nnd then jumping out of tho window. How high a window should bo from tho ground to perform this operation satisfactorily is not stated, though this is a question of but littlo moment to a man sufl'ciing with a raging toothache. Early in tho pres ent century dentists traveled from town to town.providod witli a turnkey, a scrapor, ami somo k nil of dentifrice. Tho luttor commonly contained acids, which not only removed tho tartar from tooth, but destroyed their enamel. As ono of Boston's most prominent dentists expressed it: "To uso such a preparation is liko sotting a barn nfiro to kill tho rats." In destroying ox poscd nerves a hot iron was used in place of stcptics. A small ncrvo in tho car, connected with a network of norvos, extending to tho median line, was sometimos destroyed with a hot iron to prevent toothache. In other words, tho burning of that littlo ncrvo precluded tho possibility of tootliacho on ono side of tho face. This was not a general custom, though tho opera tion is known to havo been quito fre quently performed in Massachusetts. Superstitions in regard to teetii were numerous. It was a common belief that if a man had an oyo-tootii extracted ho would lose tho eyesight on that side. It was also said that if a human tooth was swallowed by an animal, as, for example, a cat, tho loser of tho tootli would havo a cat's tooth grow in tho pluoo of tho lo3t ono. 11 was deemed best, therefore in order to preoludo such a possibility, to bury any tooth that camo out. Dentistry has mado rapid strides with in tho past few years, and the use of nmcsthctics has robbed it of many of its terrors. Tho tooth occupy a very important position in lifo far moro than many miagino and ncgloet of them causes trouble in many ways. It is ovon quito possible that many cases of matrimonial infelicity could bo traced directly to neglected or de cayed tooth, for as a loading poot re marked, "It would 800111 as if bad teetii must nocessarily destroy all sentimen tal relations." Biddy and Her Cow. Lord Palmorston, though a pugna cious prime minister, whoso foreign policy was hectoring to Europe, was gonial and humane as a man. As a landlord, ho acted as ho did in debate, upon the give and tako principle. A striking illustration of his kindness is given in the following anecdote, which also brings out somo of tho characteristics of the Irish peasantry: Lord Palmorston visited his Irish os tate, and ono morning, with a friend, walked many miles over it in search of game. Thoy had, however, littlo sport, and bocumo tired and hungry. Jn the distance Lord Palmorston saw a cabin, to which lie mado his way, in company with his friend and a keeper, and found the tenement occupied by an old woman and her pig. His lordship asked if she hud anything to oat. "God bless your honor' Surotlioro's praties aud eggs at your sorvieo," was tho reply. And wliflo the old woman, without further ado, commenced wash ing tho potatoes and putting ilium in tlio pot. his lordship told her he would return in half anil hour. When ho did so the old woman had prepared him u substantial meal of potatoes and fresh eggs. Lord Palmorston drow from tlio old woman that t-ho hud boon many yours a widow, and worked haul for a livelihood, but feared, when iter strength failed hor, that sho must go to tho workhouse; but sho added: "If my husband had taken loss whisky and kept tho money to buy a cow, 1 would havo got tho agent to let 1110 havo tho bit of waste land in tlio corner, and I'd havo boon as happy as a queen. But thero's no holp ing It your honor. It's a poor, lono woman I'll be, and nobody will care whether poor Biddy is alivo or dead." "Suppiso I woro to speak to Lord Palnieiston ?" suggested tlio visitor. "Oil, faith, your honor, it's not tlio like of you that Lord Palinerston talks to," said Biddy. "Isn't it himself that lias dinner with the Queen, and tolls her what she has to do; aud don't ho toll the house of lords and tho par liament and all ou 'em what thoy havo to do? Sure it's not yourself that will got widiu a mile of him. Tako tho country all over, and ho is tho biggest man in it; ito's equal lo the Pimioo of Wulos, aud perhaps L yant him." "Well," ropl'ed his lordship, "I am going to Loudon, and I'll try to seo him, because you aro a deserving croa ture. So 1 shall not g.ve you any thing for your hospitality, but louvo Lord Palmorston to reward you." "Luok go wid you!" Mifd Biddy, "It's tho good-niauing gontlomau you aro, but it's not tho Lord Palmors'ton that you'll see." His lordship shook tho old woman by tho hand and departed. In a few days the agent sent down a lino cow, and gave Biddy ten acres of land, free of rent, for hor lifetime. Tbo old woman's delight know no bounds, and whou told that the per son she had scon and shaken hands with was Lord Palmorston himself, hor gratification was positively great er than In tho acquisition of the land ami tho cow.
