like, what respect people ought to pay
you, what people think of you; and then

spoil everything you touch; you will make
sin and misery for yourself out of every

Mr. Coleman, of the Bartholomew
Hospital Engb attributes the degeneracy
of the teeth In modern times to the soft
state Of the food we eat, and the part play
ed by knives and forks as substitutes for
the teeth. He thinks that one of the ways
in which our race will becoifie extinct,
will be by the ultimate development Of dfi
edentulOus race incapable of masticatiOn,
and therefore of adequate nutrition. We
commefid this reflection to those who COM

MANY rich many is without motley,
Thousands of men with nothing in their
pockets are rich. A man born with a
sound constitution, good stomach, good
heart, Is riCE Good. bones are better than
gold, good muscles than silver; and nerves
that flash fire and carry energy to etery
function are better than land. It is better
than an estate to have the right kind of a
father and mother. Good breeds and bad
breeds exist among men as really as among
herds and horses.
1t is stated that man tout West" has
invented a new, powerful, double acting
salve, which cannot fail to be q boon hot
only to the human race, but to every liv-
ing thing which is exposed to accidents
and wounds" As proof of its potency
and efficacy, the inventor narrates that by
way Of experiment he cut off about four
inches of. his dogs tail, and applied the
salve to the bleeding stttmp, whereupon
the tail at once grew otlt to its natural size
and shape; that he then took UP the piece
of tail which he had cut off, and applied
the salve to the bleeding end, whereupon

"A Louisville drummer was the other
day giving his experience in the Red
River county: "ln small town below
Shreveport" he said, II was going around
with my samples, when I met q green,
gawkish, country fellow, with two fancy
red strings hanging down on each side of
his boot-legs, which, supposed, were
drawer.strings, not knowing that they
wore red strings around their legs in that
country for ornament. In a spirit of
kindness, l said, Stranger, your drawer.

savage look, put his hand on his pistol.

"A proposal for the abolition of the
custom of wearing gloves for ornamental
ton, has emanated from the chief fashion
journal of the capital of the fashionable
world. For protection from cold or from
abrasion of the skin by contact of rough
objects, gloves are still to be permitted
but not as an article of dress. Why, says
the innovator, should the possessors OF
soft and white hands favor a custom
which conceals these charms and places
them on a level of attractiveness in this
respect with the most horny-handed arti
san or washerwoman! Why, indeed! II
is further urged that a gentility whose
badges are pretty hands, white and soft, is
far less easily counterfeited than gentility
whose badges are gloves, at dollar or two

"A couple of male robins, attended by
what appeared to be their respective fe
male companions, have made the lawn Of
a suburban residence place of daily re
sort for week past, where the male birds
have a regular daily battle. They figh,
as fiercely as game-cocks, dropping theil
wings and coming together ON the grass
with fury that tears out quantities o.
feathers. Meeting in the shock, they rist
together four or five feet from the ground

tie, daily renewed, has been going on for .
week, and is still undecided. Whether i
arises from jealousy or rival claims to tn,
earth-worms in that particular lawn, can
not be ascertained. The females look OF
