(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.— Boston Herald.

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.

Now tiUmarv-L Could Drluk. Count Andrassy’a st ry of an inter vie'.,' ho had with Bismarck is as fol lows. “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.

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. ” Declaration of Independence.
