“Certainly (lie story is authentic

“ ‘Would you give a pretty girl an

“ ‘Of course I would,’ I replied,
never dreaming, however, that he
was in earnest.
“But the next day a lovely young

“ ‘My ItorBe was a good one, and I
rode hard until I came to a little,
half-concealed cabin, where I dis
mounted and said to a man that came
to the door:
“ ‘Are you a Confederate or a Union

“ ‘ “f am a Confederate,’’ ’ he
answered proudly.
“ ‘ “Well, sir, I am Gen, Grant;

I am being pursued?’’ ’
“ 1 “How do you know that I won’t

“ ‘ “Because I trust your face,” ’ I

Degeneration of Teeth.
Txindon Mail.
Much has been said recently on the
subject of what man is coming to.
Certainly in many ways he is under
going gradual transformations, and
apparently for the worse. If a pessi
mistic view be taken it must seem
that man is beginning to return to
that shape which Darwinians believe
wns his starting point in the process
of evolution.
For example, there is a growing
tendency for the jaw of a modern
man to recede. One authority at
tributes this to the habit of allowing
infants, and often young children, to
continually suck what are called
“babies’ comforters,” or “teats."
I This, it appears, has an inclination to
i draw in the jaw at an age when the
i bones are hardly set.
Primitive man, it has been proved,
I used his teeth as a weapon, in Hie
; same way that a dog now docs.
, When lie came to rely more on wea-
j pons of his own manufacture, tlio
; strength of the teeth was no longer
I called into service for protection or
defense. This, nlso, lias tended to
j make the human jaw recede.

come after a word of that importance
in an unnbridged dictionary, so she
considerately remarked:
“There's a small school dictionary
in my room that will toll you ail
about It. I'll find the place for you."
Tlio book was brought aud the place
found, and the book then turned over
to the child without further comment.
For Hoveral minutes there was si
lence, and then came Die agonized in
quiry :
"Mamma, what does ‘i*0-reo-pay-
ray-ny-sun’ mean?"
“Whnt’s that, dear?" inquired her
mother.
“Oil, I can’t pronounce it," an-
Hwered the child. “It’s spelled r-e
reo, p-a pay, r-n ray, t-i-o-n, shun,
reepayraytion."
“Oh, ‘reparation!’ ” exclaimed the
mother. “What do you want to know
about that?"
"Why, this book says that is the
meaning of ‘atonement,’" wns the
reply. “Now, I want to know what
that moans?"
"Doesn’t it say anything else?"
“Yes. Look at it yourself.”
As the child evidently had made up
tier mind that she was not going to
struggle with anything else in the
lino of a definition, the mother took
the book and found that the two oth
er things that lind tripped the young
ster up were “reconciliation" and
“restoration of friendly relations."
Since that time questions of children
have been answered In that family,
without any attempt to impress the
facts upon tliem by sending them ti
reference books, not that the infor
mation is not to bo had in tlio books,
but that it is too much trouble to ox-
plnin it after it is found. Giving deli-

A Famous Tune and Hymn.
The tune “From Greenland’s Icy
Mountains,’! was composed by Dr.
Lowell Mason in Savannah, and sung
by him for the first time in the In
dependent Presbyterian church, in
which he was choir leader. He was
teaching music in the Forest City at
the time. Dr. Mason died in 1872.
The song was written 00 years or
mqre ago.
This information was recently
brought to our notice by a gentleman
of our section, who said there were
two things to muke Savannah famous
and to immortalize the old town—the
iient dental surgeons who have been
consulted on tlio matter ngree that
the decline of the teeth is due to Die
present artificial mode of living, to
adulterated provisions, nnd to the
habit of cooking everything until ten
der.
One eminent specialist says that iu
Lent he is twice as busy us at any
other time. The reason for this, so
he asserts, is that there are fewer
parties then, and people do not mind
so much being a few days “not at
home" to their friends, should their
front teeth want repairing. In this
respect it Is Interesting to learn that
men are even more vain than wo
men.
The dentist in question tells a good
story of a woman who Certainly had
an original reason for having her
teeth attended to during Lent.
“I have put off coming to see you
about my teeth until now," she be
gan, qb she sank into n seat, “because
I have several to be ‘stopped.’ As,
of course, you’ll toll me to starve my
self for twonty-four hours each time
you ‘stop’ one, I may as well do it in
Lent, when, in any case, I should
have to do a little fasting.”
Personal Adornment in these de
generate days has gone to the extent
of fixing diamonds in the front teeth.
This craze started in Chicago, but was
never very popular on this side of
the Atlantic. There are, however,
at least four persons of wenlth in
London, known to the writer, who
carry daily in their mouths valuables
of the aggregate value of C350.
As showing the decadence of the
teeth ot the present generation, it
may bo recorded thnt a physician has
boen studying the condition of the
mouths of centenurians. He finds
that out of forty-two centenarians
only fifteen were without a tooth,
and the others were in possession of
an ample supply. Yet in people
about 80 years of age the average
number of teeth is rarely more than
five.

An Obliging Hero.
Washington Post.
A woman who visited one of the
hospitals in the South laBt summer
has been telling a story since she
came bnck to Washington which is
good, if true. While going through
the hospital in question, so she nar
rates the incident, a busy-looking,
duty-loving woman hustled up to one
of the wounded soldiers, who lay gaz-

the first sermon ever delivered in this
country, and organized the first Suu-
day-school iu America, if not in the
world.
The grand old tune written by Dr.
Mason lias been sung “from pole to
pole,” and in almost every known
language on the globe.
Aud the work done by John Wesley
will never die. There lias been “a
hundred years of marching and a hun
dred years of song," as the adherents
of Wesloy’s faith have pushed ahead
under the banuer of the Great King,
going on from victory to victory.

. Baby’s Photograph.
Philadelphia Press.
A young photographer, when asked
what sort of subjects presented the
greatest difficulties to him, replied
without a moment’s hesitation: “Ba
bies."
“For instance,” he continued, “I
took photographs of a little 10-
months’ old fellow the other day in
Bix different positions. Yesterday I
sent proofs to bis mother, and to-day
she brought them in.
“ ‘I’m sorry,’ she said, without
any obvious grief, ‘but none of these
negatives will do.’
“ ‘Not one of the six?’ I inquired,
though I was prepared for what was
to follow.
“ ‘No,’ she said, ‘I’m afraid not.
You see, I like this one very well,
though, of course, it doesn’t do baby
justice, but his Aunt Ellen says it’s an
absolute caricature of the dear little
fellow. The one she likes I don’t care
for at all, and his papa says he should
never know for whom it was intend
ed. It looks so cross, and baby is
such'a sunshiny child.
“ ‘The one he likes, this smiling
one, I shouldn’t consider for a mo
ment, for it makes baby’s mouth look
so much larger than it really is.
“ ‘Ilis grandfather chose that one,

said she liked it.

what he said seemed so sensible. He
asked me why I didn’t have some
more taken and see if there wouldn’t

like baby. Now, when can he sit

Popular White Waist.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The white waist has been steadily
increasing its list of wearers ail the
season. It is now coBindered the
thing par excellence for theatre wear
and other demi-dress occasions.' It
must be exquistely and stylishly
made, but simply trimmed. Fussy
garniture of any sort simply ruins the
effect. The neck may be finished
with a lace jabot down the front, but
anything more except tucks or cords
is superfluous. White tulle for the
neck in a scarf bow and a plaiting
down the front is a pretty finish
when it is becoming. The very finest
and softest of satin is sometimes used;
and, speaking of white for waists, en
tire gowns, and all accessories, will
supplant the cream and ecru tints so
long in vogue. White cloth gowns
for afternoon affairs are considered
quite the smartest of the season, but
their soiling properties make them
very expensive, however ideal aud
becoming they may be.
It seems the aim of the dressmaker
now to fashion skirts completely
without seams, many of the newest
models showing none up the back.

He Found Her Cat.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
One of the wealthy women on the
South Side teaches a Sunday-school
class composed of street urchins. She
lost an Angora kitten last week, and
on Sunday told her cIqbb that she
would give a reward to any boy who
would find it. The next day a small,
red-headed boy rang tbe front door
bell and was ushered into the presence
of the Sunday-school teacher. The
boy carried a dirty bundle done up in
a piece of burlap.
“Hereth thoo thitten," he said,
holding out the parcel.
The woman did not understand the
tongue-tied remark and drew back
from tbe untidy bundle.
“My child, I don’t know what you
are talking about," she said, in a tone
of offended dignity.
“Hereth thoo thitten. I thaw him
thkippin’ upithe theet," replied the
boy.
“I don’t understand you," declared
the woman. “Don’t try to give me
that horrible-looking bundle, for I
don’t want it.”
The boy gave her one keen look.
Then he seemed to be carefully fram
ing a sentence.
“Hereth thoo tarn old tat,” he said;

—The celebrated Southern Express
Co. revenue stamp case will be called
up for trial in the United States Court
of Appeals at New Orleans on May 9.
The case is appealed by Attorney-
General Terrell, who is now busily
engaged preparing his brief. This
case originated before the State Rail
road Commission of Georgia, which
body rendered a decision that the
company and not the shipper should
pay the war stamp tax. Judge Speer
enjoined the commission from inter
fering in the matter, and the case
goes to the Court of Appeals in this
way. Frank H. Miller of Augusta,
and Fleming duBignon of Savannah,
will represent the Southern Express
Co., while tbe rulings of the Railroad
Commission of Georgia will be upheld
by the Attorney-General of the State.
The case is one of great importance,
and the final disposition of it will be
