feal celebrity, Hippe
orates, coacluded that
"the eanse of tooth
sehe was known only
to God." The Chi
nose dentist claims that
the pain is caused by
"a worm In the tooth;"
he prome by breaking
it open and exhibiting
what looks not unlike a
worm, 1t4e nerve, or,
more properly, the pulp
of the tooth. As a
matter of fact, as all who are posted in deutal
pathology know, pain in a tooth may be brought
about by any one or smore of a number of dia
eased conditions. go that we may se If we
study what is technically known as dental
pathology (pathos-pain or suffering, and
logoe-a discourse) that instead of a single
cause two or more may coexist. Still It is not
probable that more than one cause for pain in
the teeth is likely to be present at one tine.
Dentists often have their patients exclaim
when having their teeth operated on: "Oh, why
do my teeth have nerves in them? What use
are they, anyhow?" And if the dentast is dis
posed to do more in the way of instruction
than simply to answer, "Because they were
made so ' he will explain that the portion of
the tooth popularly called the nerve, but tech
nically and scientifically the u lp, is so far
indispensable to the tooth that he may say,
"No pul no tooth." That is. the pulp, so to
speak, the germ of the tooth, the tooth
former or builder.
?an ULIP A"D rav DEvTZroiuNT.
Look at a grain of corn on the cob. We call
it a "roasting ear" In the green or Immature
state. later on it gets so hard as to require
the millstone to pulverize It. Something like
this grain of green corn is the tooth when
first formed. It is all pulp, so to speak,
and is, in the language of physiology, very
vascular, or full of blood vessels and nerves.
It is covered with a membrane or membranes
whose function it~is to select from the blood cir
culating so freely through it such substances
as go to make up the hard part of the tooth
lime salts, phosphates and carbonates.
This selective function of membranes is one
of the moat curious and wonderful of all physi
ological operations. That one membrane
should be so constructed as to take lime salte
from the blood current and appropriate it to
the building up of the tooth, while another
takes from the ame circulating fuid the lime
salts that make bone, and still another takes
that which makes andther tissue, is indeed a
mystery. But these membranes which are en
gaged in tooth building make, it seems to me,
nicer discriminations than any others of the
tissue builders, for they have to make the hard,
almost flint-like enamel, the dentine, much
softer, but still quite dense, and the cementum,
or bony substance, which covers the root of
the tooth. So the pulp goes on tooth building,
making a wall, so to speak, about itself until It
is shut in, only leaving a small opening at the
end of the rootthrough which the small vessels
pa which keep up its connection with the
general circulation.
We can all understand that if this outlet
or inlet were closed the pulp would die as
thoroughly as an amputated Anger. And we
can further readily see that if in any way the
pulp should become diseased its chances for
living are les than if it were not so boxed up
by its dense tooth walls.
OOMMoN CAUSa O TooTAcN.
Inflammation of this dental pulp is by far
the most common cause of toothache, and it is
usually brought about by exposure of the pulp
to external irritants. Decay penetrates into
the pulp chamber and at once exposure to air,
to parcles of food, to changes of temperature,
to fuids-anything almost an contiet with it
sets up irritation.
There is an old Latin phrase, "Ubi irritatio,
ibi fuxus"-where there is irritation to that
part is the Bow (of blood). And this is uni
versally true of all tissues. A pin scratches
the surface and at once it reddens, showing an
additional dow of blood to that part. So, Just
so soon as the pulp is irritated from any cause
there is an increased Bow of blood into the
pulp coming in through the small vessels
whooa enter the canal at the extremity of the
root.
We all know what happens when blood Bows
into a wounded or irritated part-it swells.
So the tooth pulp when irritated swells. The
amount of swelling might be inconsiderable if
it occurred in another organ, se, for instanee,
in the muscles of the hand or the tongue. But
shut up as is the pulp in its bony casing the
pain becomes excruciating. What causes the
pai? The answer is, pressure on the nerves
of the pulp by its engorged blood vessels.
This isa familiar fact and is one of the most
eommon causes of neuralgie. Could the tooth
be split probably the pain would eeas.
One of the most tantalising of tooth pains is
caused by what is known as a pulp stone.
What was said above about the pul beIng a
tooth builder will be remembered. Tis buid
ing goes on slowly, poesibly intermittently,
during life, so that the walls of the tooth of an
old man are much thicker and the pup much
smaller than in uth. In addito to this
slow decrease of sie of the theel i
also an increase of density of theCi b-an
stance, an old tooth being harder than a young
one. But there as also sometimes set up from
caussevr obscurey known a formation in

amount of suffering. A little nodule of den

3030 AND JULgEF.
The Old Seery, With Moden Asesesss.e,
motetd I Napes,
from ths Now York sun.
In the criminal court ef Naples the tory of
Romeo and Juliet In modern life was told re
cently. Lieut. Leone of the tenth regiment of
artillery, while stationed In Palermo, fell des
perately In love with Catherine Notarbartelo
de Villarosa, a beautiful young woman. The
Notarbartolo family is among the most power
ful In Sicily, where a good deal of the old
feudal system flourishes. in spite of the Italian
unity. Donna Maria Bestiragna, widow Notar
bartolo and the mother of the young woman,
had a brother executed in 180 for political
offenses, and she was banished, but she re
turned to Sicily with Garibaldi. Although she
is sixty-four years of age. she administers the
rich patrimony of her family. The beautiful
Catherine was her youngest child.
The question before the court was whether
the young oficer committed suicide or was
murdered by the brother of the young girl.
His y was found at the door of the Notar
bartolo mansion. He had been shot through
the heart, and a pistol was found at his feet.
The evidence for the prosecution was that he
had been called into the house by Cather
ine's old nurse, Calogera Tinnerello, and that
Catherine's brothers, who were 1.is sworn
enemies, had waited for him at the- en
trance, and had shot him. Francesco Notar
bartolo, who was accused of having organized
the plot, had previously fought a duel with the
lover. It was a one-aided fight, howeve?, in
which all the fury was with Notarbartolo.
Leone, who was an expert swordsman, foiled
all his desperate attacks, and allowed himself
to be wounded rather than run the risk of kill
ing the brother of his lady love. Francesco
was also the recognized chief of the Maft So
ciety in Palermo. Eleven times he was on the
point of being arrested, but on each occasion he
was saved by the Mafia, and at one time he was
concealed in the house of a near relative of the
chief of police.
The trial of the case extended through two
years in Palermo, and then the venu was
changed to Naples, where it lasted for eighty
days. Love letters in abundance from Leone
to Catherine and from Catherine to Leone
were read, in which the tender passion was
painted with all the high coloring peculiar to
the Italian school. The brothers Notarbartolo
did not deny anything of the love affair be
tween their sister Catherine and the young
officer; they simply confined themselves to a
denial of the charge of murder. One of them,
Pietro, declared in his examination that Leone
was completely unknown to him when he re
ceived the following note:
Sir. I love your caier Catherine. Pronounce the last
word. If it shouid be -,%o" I give you my word that
I shall abide by is and insist no bonser.
In describing the effect of the letter Pietro
said: "I spoke of that letter to my mother,
who said, 'The young man is crazy. The mar
ringe is impossible.' I informed Lieut. Leone
of this decision and advised him to postpone as
far as possible the stupid notion of getting mar
ried. We parted on the best of terms. A few
days afterward, while we were at dinner, we
heard a pistol shot outside the door. We came
down and found Leone dead at the door. He
had just sent a bullet through his breast."
"The medical reports seem to establish that
Leone did not kill himself, but was murdered,"
the president of the court remarked.
"On the contrary," Pietro responded. "Ne
shot himself in the heart. Lovers alwaysahoot
themselves in the heart and bankers always
shoot themselves in the bead. Whether it is
the heart or brain, it is always the affected
part that they aim at."
The old nurse who carried the letters of the
lovers, denied int she Induced Leone to come
to the house.
The deposition of Leone, or., the father of
the young man, was particularly dramatic. He
said: "When I learned that my son was in love
with one of the Notarbartolo young ladies I
knew that It was all over with him. L All the
lovers of the young ladies were killed by the
brothers Notarbartolo. Francesco killed Boo
cardo and his brother-in-law Coppola."
"If I struck down Coppola,' the accused
Franeesco interrupted, "it was because he be
gan to court my sister Constance and then de
serted her to make love to my sister Maria.
And now poor Constance is crasy from love."
"You are also accused of having killed Lient.
Leone. Why did you run away Lfter the
tragedy?" the president asked.
"Because I know that I would be suspeeted. I
have already been in prison for beating police
men and I know what it is to be shut up In four
walls."
Other witnesses gave the details of the duel,
in which Leone was kind enough to allow him
self to be wounded by the brother of his ex
peted bride. Letters were then produced to
show that when the broken-hearted lovers were
parted by the orders of the proud old woman
and of the terrible brothers, who sustained her
decision, Leone for a time accepted his fats
but on receiving a burning and tearful docu
ment from Catherine be him to continue
his suit and asking him it haLdceased to love
her he weakened and determined to return to
Palermo. His brother officers urged him not
to g "Thy wil kll on," they said.
"Wll, let the kill me," Leone said; "I
can't give up my love."
- Beveral of his comrades testified that he never
had any idea of suicide. The evidence pointed
to murder, or at least to manslanghter, for a
quarrel between Leone and the brothers was
also described. ranceeo Notarbartolo was
eonvicted and sentenced to five years' impris
onmen6 The others were acquitted, and now
Catherine is crazy.

that the large elegant residences which are so

from their more stately neighbors mainly in

In the halls and rooms will be found the elee
trio arrangements which will light or put out
the gas by touching a button. There is hardly
a residence erected in the city, however small,
that has not a front hall Attached to the
dining room wil be found a butler's pantry,
while a bathroom is considered just as essential
as a front door. In the kitchen there is a range.
and IS is not uncommon to And a fur
naee In the basement, which heat. the
entire house. In fact there is searoely
a feature of the finest, most expensive res
dence that is not reproduced In the small
house. These modern conveniences, and it
might also be added luxuries, can be secured
in a house that rents from 125 to O5 per
month. It is not to be presumed that all these
details are introduced into a house by those
who build to rent or to sell, because they pre
fer to build houses that way. All these things
add to the cost of building. It is found, ho -
ever, that in order to piake a house desirable
these conveniences must be supplied. Some
times the complaint is heard that rents are
high and houses for people of moderate means
are expenrive. There is no doubt that this item
in the cost of living Is quite a large one,
but it is claimed that the rents asked here for
houses of modest character compare very

GOVIaxxv xEMPLOYEs IT TMs CITi.
Some interesting figures have been got
together by those who are interested in the
plan for providing a fund to pension govern
ment employes when retired on account of
long service and enfeebled health. According
to this authority there are employed in this
city some 7,00 clerks who are in what is known
as the classified service. The annual salaries
paid to these clerks aggregate the
ge sum of $8,000,000. In addition
to the clerks in the classified service there
are a large number who occupy positions which
do not come within this classification. Some
of them receive more pay thsn is given to those
who are in the classified service, and then there
is another class which receives less. Altogether
it s estimated that there are some 16,000 people
employd by Uncle Sam whose duties require a
4gne in this city. It would be a low rather
thana high estimate to my that the annual
amount paid to this army of employee is at
least Si.0O0,000. The disbursement of such a
sum of money each year is an important factor
in the prosperity of the city, especially
when it is considered that such a lrge
proportion of the government employes
are careful and frugal in their manner of life,
and are, therefore. good citisens. To a con
siderable extent they are property owners
here, owning at least their own houses, which
they have paid for out of their savings. They
form a considerable element in the class of real
estate buyers.

An Important addition to the summer homes
which form such an attractive feature of the
town of Rockville will be made during the
present season. Mr. Henry Beard of this city
owns a tract of land near that place containing
some 1I0 acres. He Intends to erect a summer
residence there, and plans are now being pro.
by Mr. Robert Stead, architect. The
tlbeof brick, a lre double strucue
with spacious prehes and iterior, but of such
a substantial chrater that the house can be
occupied as a residence all the year around.
The design Is an effective examplec of the
solonial style of architecture. The feature of
the front will be a long prh supported on
Ioale eolumns and fin' ewith a balustrade.
The exterior brick walls will be painted a cream
color, while the columns and the trimmings
will be in white. That characteristic feature of
