Store Teeth by the Million
"The man or woman who is much trou
bled over tlio necessity of having an arti
ficial tooth Inserted , " said a popular den
tist the other day , "may take consolation
from the fact that there nro about twenty
mlllloriH of such teeth manufactured and
sold annually In the United States , allowing
on an average ono artificial tooth every four
years to each mnn , woman and child In the
country , Including Indians , negroes and
tramps. .
"On the authority of the greatest man
ufacturer of dental supplies In the country ,
there are over forty thousand ounces of
pure gold worked up annually for dcntlsU'
use In material for filling teeth , In plates
and Eoldcra , the value of this gold approxi
mating ono million of dollars. In addition
there are about 50,000 ounces of platinum
used annually by the various manufac
turers of porcelain teeth , to say nothing
of the largo amount of silver atnalgum
prepared for Inconspicuous fillings , such
as these In the back teeth.
"There Is no other profession which has
inado greater strides during the last few
years than has dentistry , and the number
of practitioners has steadily Increased until
now there are 20,422 dentists In the United
States. .Even the little towns of Alaska
have their dentists , there being nine en
gaged In practice In the territory.
"As figures do not Ho , the majority of
these men cannot have very much to do ,
because 20,000,000 of false teeth and Jl.OOO-
000 worth of gold for fillings , etc. , divided
equally between 20,422 dentists allows only
about 100 teeth and a little less than ? 40
worth of sold per annum to each dentist.
As the population practitioners In largo
cities use many times these amounts , many
of them earning from $8,000 to $15,000 a
year In the practice of their profession , It
will readily bo seen that a good many of
the smaller ones must fall far below the an
nual average.
New ThtnBB ; In Dcntlntry.
"Tho use of electricity has worked won
ders In dentistry. Until the discovery of
the X-rays It was often necessary to re
move a tooth In order to learn the nature
of some trouble at the root ; but now the
root and a portion of the Jawbone may be
photographed by means of the Roentgen
rays , the cause of the trouble located and
the tooth generally saved.
"Tho average person , however , considers
tiio discovery of what Is called 'dental
vataphorcsls1 to bo of far greater im
portance to ithom personally , because of Its
unprecedented power to deaden pain.
"Cataphorcsls , " continued the doctor , "Is
tho. process of driving anaesthetics Into
tho" bono tissue , or dentine , by moans of
a gentle current of electricity applied to
the cavity Itself. The method Is rather In
teresting. The cavity Is first cleansed as
thoroughly as possible without causing dis
comfort to the patient , and Is then closed
with a plug of cotton Just large enough
to fill It without undue pressure at any
point. The electrode Is placed In the moist
ened hand of the patient , who Is required
to grip It Just tight enough to secure good
connection , the anaesthetic to bo used Is
drawn into ttio barrel of the syrlngo and
Injected Into the cotton. The current la
then turned on and gradually inrreascd
till the proper amount Is reached. If com
plete Insulation Is secured , the process Is
not accompanied by sensation of any kind ,
and the subsequent drilling which is nec
essary in order to clcanso the cavity prior to
filling It can bo done with no appreciable
degree of pain. Without the aid of cat-
aphorcsls , bowevor , there Is no such thing
as good workmanship In painless dentistry.
"But the now 'cataphoric bleaching' IB
oven more appreciated by women. The
bleaching fluid Is driven into the tooth by
means of a current of electricity In a way
similar to that in willed an anaesthetic is
driven Into sensitive dentine. Even a
tooth that has become very much discolored
as a result of the Improper treatment of
n dead nerve may bo rendered beautifully
white by this means. In fact , electricity
Is now used by the up-to-date dentist for
nearly everything connected with his work.
It Is used for killing nerves ; It propels the
treadle for cutting and 1tio mallet for fill
ing ; while light Is supplied to the mouth
lump and heat to the hot air syringe by
Uio name means.
Old MethoilM Shelved.
"The dentist of twenty-five or even ten
years ago , who had not kept abreast of
tbo times , would hardly know what to
make of tlio many improvements iu the
modern practitioner's operating room. The
sterilizer , for instance , into which every
Instrument la placed after being used , is
now considered as necessary a part of the
clllco furniture as the treadle or the 'hy-
dratillo chnlr. ' The certainty that every
Instrument put into the mouth lias been
thoroughly sterilized since being previously
used means a great deal to a sensitive
piitleut.
"Another special horror has been done
auay with through the invention of the
dental apoculum and the drainage tube.
Tlio former protects the lips from abrasion ,
while tbo latter , when placed under the
tongue , taken up and carries away the
tronblesomo 'drool , ' which under the old
fashioned system of dentistry was the cause
of such aversion to fastidious men and
u onion ,
"If dentistry improves proportionately
during the next fifty years as It tiaa dur
ing the last decade , by the middle of the
twentieth century women will look upon
a visit tothe dentist with no greater dread
than Is uow inspired by the prospect of
a shopping tour , It Is probable , too , that
artificial teeth will become more and more
natural every year. Even now the bluish
white teeth so common a few years ago
nro seldom seen , and the porcelain fillings
which nro dally growing In popularity are
so Identical In tint and appearance with
the teeth of which they form a part that
their presence can ( hardly bo detected. Their
preparation and insertion , however , require
considerable skill. They are generally flrsl
shaped to the cavity , then baked , glazed auc
carefully Inserted. The superior beauty of
thcso fillings over the conspicuous gold
ones Is apparent to the people most con
servative In adopting new Ideas. "
Connubialities
Three months after a girl gets married
her husband knows the secrets of most of
her Intimate girl friends.
As long as married pcopfo read aloud
to each other every evening they are still
In lovo.
Little do the loving couples who plight
tholr troths while occupying single seats
dream that they are forming n chair trust.
John niako , a wealthy Pennsylvania
farmer who has spent the last ten years
searching for a lest sister , recently stopped
nt the Hunt hotel , Wokeman , Ind. , and
there became enamored of the proprietress ,
to whom ho afterward proposed marriage.
In course of conversation , however , he
found out ho was making love to his own
sister , and this , of course , prevented their
marriage.
The wedding of Miss Julia Dent Grant ,
the only daughter of General and Mrs. Fred
erick Dent Grant , to Prince Cantacuzene of
Russia , is announced to take place in Newport -
port late In September. The exact date has
not been set nor has the place of the cere
mony been fully decided upon , although the
William Waldorf Astor villa , Deaulleu ,
leased for the season by Miss Grant's aunt
Mrs. Potter Palmer , will doubtless be the
scene of the wedding. Miss Grant , who has
been visiting her mother and her grand
mother , Mrs. U. S. Grant , at Saratoga , is
expected to arrive at Newport for the sea
son this morning. She will be the guest of
her nunt. Mrs. Palmer.
The marriage of Miss Louise Douglas
Powell , daughter of Mrs. Annlo Louise Pow
ell of Washington , to Lieutenant Wllhelm
G. Haeffnor of the German army , took
place July 12 last at St. Paul's church ,
Alexandria , Va. The bride was given away
by her grandfather , Thomas McGlll. Her
gown of white satin was embellished With
ofd lace and she wore some handsome diamond
mend ornaments , gifts from the bride
groom.
At a recent evening wedding reception
on the Hudson a tall , brilliant young bru
nette appeared in a gown of cream-yellow
chiffon over yellow satin , with girdle , short
sleeve-puffs and trimming on the square-cut
bodlco of brilliant coquellcot red velvet.
There were gowns of very beautiful mateK
asso satin , showing effective color-Mend
ings , the union of soft primrose yellow ,
tea-rose , pink , violet and tender green be
ing particularly noticeable. The dainty
whlto and black gowns of net , lace or silk
muslin showed a delightful contrast. A
gown of whlto silk net over yellow taffeta
was worn by a very pretty young woman ,
whoso sister appeared In a dress of black
Toco over violet-colored moire. A white
chiffon gown over whlto watered Bilk ,
trimmed with whlto Venetian lace , and a
moire sash , with deeply fringed ends ,
formed ono of the most beautiful of the
youthful tolFets worn that evening.
Poor Railroads in Cuba
When ono wishes to leave Havana by rail
to see something of tbo real Cuba say , to
tako'a trip to Plnar del Rio or to Clenfuegos
ho must got up very early , writes a corre
spondent of Harper's Weekly. The through
trains leave nt G o'clock In the morning. I
asked the chief engineer of the railroad to
Plnar del Rio why so early a start was made
for a town only 100 miles away and ho said
It was so as to get back the same day.
The American traveler Is not only likely
to grumhle when he Is compelled to hurry
to the station In the thick gloom of the
morning , but when bo reaches the station
and finds that ho must pay about 5 cents a
mlle In gold and from 7 to 8 cents amile , In
Spanish silver to ride In the back-breaking
cars known as first-class carriages and that
for an ordinary trunk he must pay about
half fare , ho Is Inclined to scoff at the prim
itive mode of travel and to long for the
luxury of even stage-coach Journeylngs on a
western mountain road. The amazing
amount of computation by the ticket agent
before bo sells you a ticket , the smoky lamps
the three preliminary toolings by the engine
before the train starts , the final ringing of
a bell by the baggage inaste- a signal that
the train Is really going , the crowded condi
tion of the aisles , choked with luggage for
whfph the passengers do not care to pay
toll , and every man In tlio train , from the
conductor to the barefcoted brakeman , smok
ing tobacco of varying degrees of excellence
all this Is likely to worry the American
traveler used to the luxury of Pullman cars.
A few hard Jolts coon after the train leaves
the station bring up to the Imagination the
prospect of a miserable trip and one Inclined
at the very outset to rail at the crudities of
travel by cara In the Island of Cuba.
