Probably not less than 2,000,000 arti- ficial teeth are manufactured in this eountry each year, and still the output goes on increasing. Never before was such great care manifested for teeth as has been exhibited during the past five years. In this respect Americans lead the world, not even the fastidious French excelling the people of the United States in their solicitude for the preservation of natural teeth and in their application of the arts of dental science when substitutes have to be provided for nature’s molars. Englishmen are notoriously careless about their teeth, although in late years great progress has been made in this matter. A prominent dentist of New York de- clares that nearly every patient with a mouthful of decayed teeth is a foreign- er. “They let things drift,” he says, “and come only when pain drives them here. Americans, and especially south- erners, hasten to their dentist immedi- ately they detect even the slightest signs of coming trouble, and the result is that there are by far more ‘saved’ teeth in this country than in any other. Englishmen and Irishmen are remark- ably apathetic about their molars and will go about for years with hopelessly decayed teeth.”—New York Times. Gluck In a Frenzy. ‘When Gluck composed his immortal | works, a bottle of champagne was al- i ways placed on either side of the piano, | and its effervescence helped to inspire $8 a year. | | As he entered the composer’s anteroom | he heard unusual and terrific noises THE PRIDE OF HEROES.—Many soldiers in the last war wrote to say that for Scratches, Bruises, Cuts, Wounds, Corns, Sore Feet and Stiff Joints, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve is the best in the world.

He approached stealthily and through a crack in the door saw Gluck in shirt sleeves, his face as red as fire and dis- torted by horrible grimaces, singing, gesticulating and jumping about like a madman. Naverre, frightened by the extraordinary spectacle, pushed the door open. “Ah, there you are,” ex- claimed Gluck. “I am just finishing your dance and will let you have it right away.” It was then that Gluck had composed that grand orgy of the savages which created such a profound sensation on the stage. Blind Men as Shampooers. “I do pity these blind men so,” said a stranger in the city who had been ap- proached by so many “blind” men in walking down the avenue that he won- dered how these beggars picked him out so readily. “And yet,” said his host, “there are i many lines of work which they could . do instead of begging. For example, ; most of the shampooers in Japan are blind men. Some are so well to do | that they own their own houses, and | their patrons go to them for treatment. , Others who have not succeeded so well go from house to house, and the rest of the people from sympathy guide them from place to place. Some of them walk lone, blowing on bamboo whistles. There was a time when some of them were doctors as well as sham- pooers.”—New York Tribune. Mortar Tossers. There is no hod carrying in Japan. The native builders have a method of transferring mortar which makes it seem more like play than work to the onlooker. The mortar is mixed up in a pile in the sireet. One man makes this up into balls of about six pounds weight, which he tosses to a man who stands on a ladder midway between the roof and the ball. This man deftly catches the ball and tosses it up to a man who stands on the roof. This plan would scarcely work for skyscrap- ers. What Botanists Do Not Know. How water, commonly called sap, necessary to the life of a tree, passes from the roots to the topmost leaf and evaporates is a problem not yet solved by botanists. It is known that the ascent is made chiefly in cavities in the sapwood only, the heart and bark serving other purposes. That is the extent of our knowledge of the matter. Beyond is mere conjecture, and every theory yet advanced has failed te stand the test of experiment. I TE SR Bested the Parson. A Case Wheie the Wedding Ring Went on the Right Hand. A clerical correspondent of the Lon- don Express tells of a wedding cere- mony in which he officiated and in his zeal for rubrical observances laid him- self open to a comical and crushing retort. “I was then curate of a small coun- try parish in Somersetshire, and one day a couple presented themselves after due preliminaries for marriage in the village church. “All went well until the moment came when it is directed by the rubric that the man shall place the ring upon the fourth finger of the woman’s left hand, but then trouble began. The yokel, apparently from nervousness or ignorance, laid hold of the right hand of his expectant bride and placed the ring there resolutely. “ ‘No,’ I said, with quiet firmness, ‘you must put the ring on her left hand’ To this his only reply was a stolid stare. Thinking he had not un- derstood me, I repeated my words, but with no better effect. “With as much warmth and in- sistence as was justified by the ocea- sion I now took firmer ground and said, ‘If you do not put the ring on her left hand, I must stop the serv- ice. “And then the climax came. With a complacent smile, that seemed to show his satisfaction at having for the mo- ment ‘bested’ the parson, the bride- groom settled the point for all time with the words, ‘Please, sir, she ain’t got none!” How Billiards Were Invented. The English are very fond of the game of billiards, and a letter in the British museum gives the origin of the sport. It was invented by a London pawnbroker, whose name was William Kew. Kew not only lent money, but he sold cloth, and for the latter pur- pose had a yard measure, with which he used to compute the amounts. One day to distract himself he took the three round balls which are the em- blems of his trade—they may still be seen in front of certain shops in Lon- don—and, placing them on his counter, began to hit them about with his yard measure. He found it made a pretty game. He got a kind of skill in making one ball glance off the other, and his friends who saw him thus employed called the game Bill's yard. It was soon short. ened into billiards. But the yardstick was the instrument with which the balls were knocked about, and difficul- ty arose as to what to call it. They called it after the name of the pawn- broker—a Kew.—Paris Figaro. Ten Men and a Safe, In the subbasement of one of our big life insurance companies is a safe sc large that a theatrical company might perform therein. There are three doors, the combinations of whose locks are controlled by ten men. Each man, a high official of the company, is an in- tegral part of the integral whole. In in- stance: Five men are required to open the outer door, each knowing a fifth part of the entire combination and no more. A, having set the gatings in his combination, is followed in turn by B, C, D and E, when the bolt may be moved. In the same manner the second door is opened by three men in combi- nation and the third by two, in the lat- ter case each being in combination with one or more of the other eight on the outer and second doors. The safe is regarded as safe.—New York Press. . Breaking Glass. The following is an easy method of breaking glass to any required form: Make a small notch by means of a file on the edge of a piece of glass; then make the end of a tobacco pipe or a rod of iron of about the same size red hot in the fire. Apply the hot iron tc the notch and draw it slowly along the surface of the glass in any direction you please. A crack will be made in the glass and will follow the direction of the iron. Embarrassing For the Professor. Professor (to his class)—Gentlemen, I have to apologize for a short delay in beginning this lecture.

How the Navajo Squaw Prays as She Spins and Weaves It is a religion to make a Navajo blanket. Through the kinky, bristling twine of the warp are woven the hopes and aspirations of an immortal soul. In the warm colors are expressed the ardors of passionate hearts, the sand- storms they have faced, the cloudbursts under which their backs have bent, the smiling sunshine that has dried their wool; all the adverse and the good for- tunes that have befallen are wrought into the intricate designs. The squaw prays as she pushes the wool card, and she prays as she twirls the distaff in her hand or rolls it on her thigh; she prays as she arranges the healds; she prays as she lustily pounds down the woof strands with her scrub oak bat- ten. A blanket is all a prayer, a human document, a biography bright with the joy tints of canary yellow, dark with the olive green of pain. One is drawn to it because one’s heart is moved by its ineffable, intangible humanness. One is strangely moved to both laugh- ter and tears by its exquisitely variant colors, each expressing an emotion by its warmth of blended fibers, each throbbing to a note of triumph or of woe.—Southern Workman. His Compromise. Mr. Potter was giving his son a few words of fatherly counsel as to his treatment of his young wife. “Now, when you have any little differences of opinion,” said Mr. Potter in his most Judicial manner, “if you can’t per- suade Margaret that you are in the right, you must compromise, my boy— compromise with a good grace.” “I'll try to,” said the son respect- fully. “I well remember a little experience I had with your mother the summer after we were married,” continued Mr. Potter. “I wanted to spend six weeks at Saratoga, and your mother preferred to spend the time in taking a trip through Canada. It’s thirty odd Years ago, but I well remember the arguments we had before I compro- mised.” “How did you do it?” asked the son. “We spent five weeks and a half in Canada,” said Mr. Potter, “and from Friday night till Monday morning in Saratoga.” No Need to Adjourn. The legislature of a certain state was tardy in adjourning one session, al- though there seemed to be no impor- tant business under consideration. Judge Jones, one of the legislators, was met by a friend in the street one hot morning, and the two stopped to talk under the shade of an awning. “Goin” to clear out pretty soon, Jedge?”’ “I suppose 80,” answered the states- man, mopping his brow. “Anything much goin’ on down at the capitol?” “No.” “Why don’t they wind up, then?” “Well, that’s just the trouble. There’s nothing but a lot of petty business to bother us, and we don’t mind that. I wish something important would come up, and then the motion to adjourn would be in order.” English In England. “You must learn the shop language before you can go shopping in Eng- land,” says a girl who has just re- turned from there and has many sto- ries to tell of the difficulties met in the shops. “Shoes are not shoes unless they are slippers, all boots are high, and you can’t to save your life get a spool of thread because there is no such thing—only a reel of cotton. If you wish cotton, sheeting for instance, you ask for calico, and the tape needle to run the ribbons in your gowns is a bodkin. There is not such a thing as a shirt waist to be had in all England, for they have nothing but blouses, and one would go continually with wet feet if she did not learn to ask for ga- loches.” Chemical Effects of Lightning. Lightning works chemically. It has the power of developing a peculiar odor which has been variously compared to that of phosphorus, nitrous gas and most frequently burning sulphur. Wa- fen mentions a storm on the isthmus of Darien which diffused such a sulphur- ous stench through the atmosphere that he and his marauding companions could scarcely breathe, particularly when they plunged into the wood.— Chambers’ Journal. His Mistake. “Is this a commission house?” asked the tall man. “Yes, sir,” said the commission mer- chant, “What can we do for you?” “Well, if you sell commissions I'd like to buy one, if they're not too dear, for my son. I want a lieutenant’s com- mission in the army, for my son wants to be a soldier, and he’s too lazy to go to West Point.”’—Baltimore Herald. The Branch of Peace. “How did you come to select Olive as a name for your baby?’ “Well, you see, my wife’s father ob- jected to our marriage, and when the little one came he forgave us, so we thought it was no more than right to let her have proper credit.”’—Chicago Record-Herald. Not Niggardly. “You asked her father for her hand?’ “Yes.” “And he refused you?’ “No, he didn’t. He said I could have both of ’em.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Two Starved to Death to Drive Out Devils. Tribe Under Arrest. United States Commissioner Folsom, Marshal Hepbarn and Prosecuting At- torney Lyons have returned to Juneau from Hoonah, Alaska, where they held an inquest over the remains of two starved Indians. They were starved to death because they were thought to be witches. One of them was tied to a tree in the woods and com- pelled to stand eight days and nights with- out food, with heavy rains falling on him. The object of this treatment was to drive out devils. He died soon alter being re- leased at the end of eight days. The other victim was handled less severely. Federal officers placed the entire tribe under arrest while investigating. Four members, found directly responsible, were taken to Juneau, charged with murder. Potato Peelers form Union. Organized labor has entered the kitchens of the hotels and restaurants of Chicago, and enrolled among its members 200 of the men and wemen who spend from five to six hours a day peeling potatoes. They want shorter hours and better pay. Several informal and two open meetings have been held, and now hardly a res- taurant down town is without union potato peelers. They are now getting from $4.50 to $5 a week and want from $7 to $8. They work for an hour or an hour and a-half be- fore each meal, and they want the work divided into regular shifts without a break, the aggregate day to remain the same. Child Strangled in Sewing Machine. Neck Caught by Running Band and Mother Found it Dead. Harry Baldwin, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. William Baldwin, who reside near Elkton, Md., was strangled to death by getting his peck in the band on the sewing machine in the dining room at its home. The child’s mother found it dead. Two small children were playing in the room when their mother left them, and it is thought that one started the sewing ma- chine while the other had its neck in the band. Pumpkin Seeds Dangerous. Farmers who feed pumpkins to hogs should see that the seed has been extracted. At several points over the State hogs have been dying off on account of indigestion caused by pumpkin seeds, says an ex- change. Cholera was supposed to have been the cause of the deaths, but a post mortem examination of several porkers dis- closed the fact that the stomach was packed with undigested seeds. ——~Conductor John W. Woodring and engineer Alfred F. Austin, who were badly injured in the work train wreck on the Bald Eagle valley raiiroad near Beech Creek some weeks ago, are able to move around at their homes in Tyrone, but it will be some time before they can take up their duties again.
