* ARTIFICIAL TEETH.
HOW THEY ARE MADE AND WHAT
BECOMES OF THEM.
T>e Perfection to lilch Their Mak.
(nit Hu* Ittninvd—ln Style, Shape
and Color Xotl*in< Im linpoamlblr to
Modern Dental Art.
Hundreds of thousands of artificial
teeth are manufactured and sold every
year. What becomes of them? It is like 1
asking what becomes of pins and other
things which are practically indestruc- <
tible.
Before making a guess it is worth i
while to consider how artificial teeth
are made. The story is told in Nan- ,
tucket of a sea captain who was a great <
whistler until he lost one of his front <
teeth by accidental contact with abe ,
laying pin. For some time he bemoaned <
his lost accomplishment, until he found
that he could whistle very well with an
artificial tooth whittled out of a piece
of wood. When, a performance was de
sired, he would calmly carve out an in
cisor and put it in position. Then the
audience would wait until the tooth
was swelled by the moisture of his
month so that it would not slip out.
When plates were discovered and the
expert dentist was able to supply a i
whole mouthful of new teeth, the teeth
themselves were carved out of ivory.
Bui constant grinding would wear away
the ivory, and these elephant teeth
were not satisfactory.
Today all artificial teeth are made of
porcelain, and will outlast a Methu
selah. Those which are known in the
trade as “stere teeth,” lieing carried in
stock by the big dental supply houses,
are manufactured in enormous quanti
ties. i
The porcelain material, which con
tains various mineral proportions, is
worked up like a sort of dough or plas
ter, forced into molds and fused by in
tense heat in a furnace. Each tooth is
covered with enamel and has one or
more metal pins in the back to hold it
to the plate.
In large lots these teeth can be made
very cheaply, but there is one item of
expense that cannot be overcome, and
that is the cost of the metal holding the
pin. The only metal which will stand
the intense heat of the porcelain fur
nace is platinum, and that costs at the
rate of a cent a pin simply for the raw 1
material. A great deal of money has ■
been spent in experiments to discover 1
some substitute for platinum, but noth- i
ing has yet been found. i
While a cheap grade of “store teeth’ !
can be bought for a few cents apiece,
they are not nearly as satisfactory as
the standard commercial article which
is used by most dentists. A big supply
company will carry hundreds of samples
of teeth, all of standard qualities, but
differing greatly in size, shape and col
or. In color alone from 25 to 100 varia
tions may be presented.
But as there are people who are not
satisfied with ready made clothing bo
there are people who are not satisfied
with ready made teeth. False teeth
may look just as well or better than
real ones, but public speakers, singers
and other prominent people want their
own teeth reproduced in all their pecul
iarities of form and color and fillings,
if they have them. They want teeth
that cannot bo told as false, and they
get them, not all at once perhaps, but '
one by one, as the originals give out.
In teeth that are made to order noth- '
ing is impossible, from the short, white 1
teeth of normal youth to the long, dis- '
colored ones of extreme age, and the
prices range like those of watches.
The teeth are set in plates of rubber,
gold and aluminium, but the highest
achievement is considered to be a plat
inum plate, upon which has been fused
a liniii;’ of tinted porcelain similar to
that used for gum work. Tinted plates 1
have been made of the same material
as the teeth, but as the porcelain shrinks
in the firing the fitting of such plates
is uncertain.
And now for the answer to the ques
tion, “What becomes of false teeth?’
Sometimes they are lost, sometimes
stolen and sometimes left as a family
legacy. Generally, however, they are
buried with the owner and lie forever
hidden in the ground.
It is occasionally suggested that there
is quite a business in secondhand false
teeth, but if there is such a traffic it ia
not of large proportions. Secondhand
teeth are valuable only for the platinum
wire that they contain, and when they
fall into the hands of regular teeth
makers they are smashed up to get the
platinum out
Not long age a man who found a
double set of teeth went with them to
a dealer, thinking that he had a prize.
The finder was surprised when the deal
er refused to make an offer and said
that 10 cents a set was all they were
worth to any one but the person whose
month they fitted.
The expensive teeth are not market
able. and the marketable teeth are not
expensive. That is the whole thing in
a nutshell
Yet teeth have been used over. A
lady went to a dentist with a set of
teeth which had belonged to her moth
er, who was dead She said that she
had always admired those teeth when
her mother wore them, and now that her
own were gone she wanted the old set
remounted for herself. It was done.—

DYSPEPTIC CARLYLE.
Ill* Drprecutorj Opinion* of Several
of Hi* Famous < ontrnipomrlei,
Dr. J. B. Crozier, a Canadian physi
cian, in a volume called “My Inner
Life,” tells of a very breezy interview
he had with Thomas Carlyle, whose ad
vice ha once sought about going in for
literature. Dr. Crozier, in reply to the
old man’s query as to what authors he
knew, mentioned John Stuart Mill.
Carlyle broke out :
“Oh, aye, poor Mill! He need to
come to me here with his Benthamism,
his radicalism, his greatest number,
and a’ that nonsense, but I had to tell
him at last it was a’ moonshine, and he
didna like it. But he was a thin, wire
drawn, sawdnstish, logic chopping kind
of body, was poor Mill. When his book
on liberty came ont, be sent me a copy
of it to read, but I just had to tell him
that I didn’t agree with a single word
of it from beginning to end. He was
offended, and never came back to me.”
The doctor tried Buckle:
“Os all the blockheads by whom this
bewildered generation has been deluded
that man Buckle was the greatest. * * *
A more long winded, conceited block
head, and one more full of empty, bar
ren formulas about the progress of the
species, progress of this and progress of
that, and especially the progress of sci
ence, I never came across—a poor crea
ture that could be of service to no mor
tal. ”
And finally Herbert Spencer:
“Spencer! An immeasurable ass. * * *
And bo ye’ve been meddling with Spen
cer, have ye? He was brought tome
by Lewes, and a more conceited young
man I thought I had never seen. He
seemed to think himself just a perfect
owl of Minerva for knowledge. * * *
Ye ll get little good out of him, young
man. ’’
NEWCURE FOR COBRABITES.
A Yarn That Will Shake I p Ameri
can Snake Story Inventor*.
American inventors of snake stories
must look to their laurels. The educated
Bengali has entered into competition,
and judging from the sample given in
good faith by a native paper at Calcut
ta he will be hard to beat. Some time
back the lovely daughter of a wealthy
Zemindar was bitten by a cobra and
died in the course of a few hours. As
her remains were being conveyed to the
Ganges for sepulture a passing patri
arch of reverend mien proposed that he
should be allowed to experiment -with
resuscitation. As he bore a high repu
tation as a professor of occult science,
the sorrowing relatives readily consent
ed.
The sage then obtained three cowries,
and after praying very energetically
threw the shells on the ground. Instant
ly one disappeared, and the spectators
were wondering what had become of it
when a huge cobra burst out of the ad
jacent jungle, bearing the missing cow
rie on its forehead. It must have been
a humble sort of reptile, for when or
dered by the sage to suck the wound on
the deceased lady it at once complied,
and then died to save further trouble.
Within an hour its human victim had
quite recovered, and went off merrily
with her husband and relatives, none
the worse for her little adventure.
“Such was the marvelous treatment,”
says the narrator, “of the peasant,
Moula Bns, professor of the occult sci
ence, which, with the spread of the so
called western civilization, has almost
died out of the land." What w’e cannot
understand is why snakes committed
more atrocities when occult science
was in its prime than under western
civilization.
The French Supreme Court.
The constitution of the cour de cas
sation is as follows: One president, or
chief justice, stands at the head of the
organization, having below him three
subordinate presidents, each of whom
has charge of a chamber. Next in order
come 45 minor judges, styled council
ors, 15 for each chamber. Besides these
strictly judicial functionaries, who are
appointed for life, there are seven offi
cial advocates, one of whom is a sort of
attorney general to the whole body,
while two practice in each of the di
visions.
To this staff must be added fonr chief
clerksand about a score of minor offi
cials. Os the three chambers, the first
is a court of requests, serving to decide
what cases shall be allowed to go before
the civil and criminal chambers re
spectively. Eleven judges in all the di
visions are necessary to form a quorum.
The courts only sit three days a week,
from 12 to 4, so that this huge machine
does its work very slowly.
Xature’u Cunning.
Protective mimicry, that cunning de
vice of nature to preserve animals from
their enemies, is well shown in the
eggs of certain fishes, notably the Cali
fornian shark known as Gyropleurodus
francisci. The shark is of a sluggish
habit, lurking among rocks, and its
dark egg resembles a leaf of kelp or sea
weed folded up spirally. It is deposited
among the beds of kelp and clings to
the leaves by the edges of the spirals.
The young shark bursts open the end
of the egg and swims away. Another
shark’s egg of the Pacific coast has ten
tacles which clasp the seaweed and
also imitate its appearance.
Peerless.
“So you have no house of lords in
this country?” said the visiting Eng
lishman.
“No, we haven’t,” replied the Amer
ican. “This is a nation without a
peer. ” —Harper’s Bazar.

Count Andrassy’a st ry of an inter
vie'.,' ho had with Bismarck is as fol

“Bismarck had two Immense mugs
of beer brought to us. He took one of
them and shoved the other over to me.
I remarked thut I drank only water..
He looked at me in silence, curiously
aad almost suspiciously for a minute
•nd then proceeded with the subject
under discussion. The more interested
he became in our conversation the more
frequently and copiously he drauk.
After finishing his own mug ho appro
priated mine with, nt a word and put
down its contents in three or four tre
mendous drafts. Then he had a servant
fetch and fill two enormous pipes.
When he offered me one of them, I ex
plained that I never smoked.
“ ‘What!’ he crt< d, ‘neither drink
nor smoke? What kite I of a supernatural
man are you anyway?'
“It was a mercy to both of us, how
ever, that I did not accept the pipe, for
Bismarck smoked ho incessantly that
within 15 minutes the air in the room
was dense. Wl:t n 1 rose at the end of

A Convincing Argnincnt.
A correspondent sends us the follow
ing story from Mississippi: Counsel for
the defense was addressing a country J
P. of the “old school.” Said he: “I
realize that I stand in the presence of a
descendant ot the grand old Huguenot
family that emigrated from France to
escape from religious intolerance. Many
able jurists have sprung from that fam
ily and embellished the bench and bar
of the Union. Their watchwords are
honor, truth and justice, and their
names are spoken in every home. The
law is so plain in this case that ‘he who
runs may read. ’ Shall I insult the in
telligence of this court by reiterating a
proposition bo simple? Need I say
more”— "No,” interrupted the judge,
“ 'tain’t necessary. I'll give you a
judgment. ’’ Counsel sat down while the
judge, with emphasis, knocked the ashes
from his cob pipe, and counsel for plain
tiff began: “May it please the court”—
“Squire, what are you fixin to do?”
asked the judge. “I have the closing
argument, ” was the reply. “Well, you ,
jes' as well set down. I done got my
mind sot on the other side. Judgment ,
for defendant. ” —Law Notes.
Value of Cheese Food.
Cheese is a very rich and valuable .
food, likely to form a very large con
stituent in the future aud, especially
for the workingman. to be very exten
sively used. There is a difference in
stomachs in their ability to digest this
article.
The writer is able to make an entire
meal of cheese, with very little bread, ,
and digest it more easily than rice or
oatmeal, but in most stomachs it is less
digestible, in some extremely bo. Each
person must learn for himsetlf. It is a
convenient form of animal food and,
when good, particularly agreeable.
There is a great difference in the com
position of cheese both in its water, fat
and nitrogenous matter. In general,
however, it may be remarked that
every variety contains a large amount
of nitrogenous matter, and it is for this
that it is especially useful as a food.
Skimmilk cheese is especially rich in
this constituent, but less rich in fat.
Those who abstain from flesh food will
find in cheese abundance of nitrogenous
matter to take the place of that found
in fleeh.—London Family Doctor
Othello Whitewashed.
Othello is the latest historic disrepu
table to have a good character establish- -
ed. Italian papers claim certain manu
scripts concerning the Moor have been
found in the archives of a convent in
Venice. They are notes taken in 1542
by a Cretan diplomat sent on a mission
to the republic of Venice. The writer
knew Othello well and vouches for the
fact that the lady was never killed at
all. In fact, she survived Othello, died
a natural death and gave the coroner no
trouble at all. So that there never was
a tragedy of the moor of Venice.
Peffer’* Potatoes.
Senator Peffer is fond of telling how
he once duped the managers of a Kansas
county fair. “On examination of the
sweet potatoes exhibited,” he says, “I
saw that the size of the specimens was
nothing to brag of, and I sent out to a
grocery store and purchased a bushel of
fine ones; took the small ones out for
home use, carried the rest to the fair
grounds, entered them in my own name
and drew the premium for the best
specimen of sweet potatoes grown in
Wilson county. ”
