It cites aging skin dulling touch and a Carson City worker who blamed tenpins for dulling his fingers. The article shifts to surgeons advancing antiseptics and brain surgery, predicting future ability to mold character and erase crime, and recounts New England children showing a local conscience via a bread-sharing incident. It ends with Paris promoting a dogs cemetery with a 70000 capital raised by ladies.
