Singular Case of Tooth. Drawing.

Twenty-six years ago, when Miss
Prude Burson, residing one and half
miles south of town, was little child
only seven years old, she put tooth
which had just been extracted from
some one into her ear, and pushed it in
so it could not be seen. She told her
mother what she had done, but after a
careful examination her mother con-
cluded she was lying, and paid no fur
ther attention to the matter But Prude
never forgot what she had done, and
has always contended that the tooth
was in her ear. A few days ago she
got hold of large sacking needle and
Commenced fishing for it, and it was
not long till she 'snaked it out. The
tooth is about as large as grain of corn,
and is in fair state of preservation.
Miss Burson is now. 80 years old, and
says that the tooth never injured her
hearing or caused any inconvenience
during the twenty-six years which it re-
mained. in her ear.-Nevport Hoosier

Such was the way in which the for
tunes of the great manufacturer and.
millionaire, who died at his seat, Crows
nest, near Halifax, recently, were
founded. For years, Mr.. Salt and his
family were the sole makers of that
useful material which has grown to be
something like q rival to cotton; and
on the strength of the valuable patent
they thus acquired they built factory
which, with extensions, has become
one of the largest in England. z,
The huge hive of industry, conspicu-
GUS as it is to the eye of the passing
traveller, is not, however, the most re-
markable feature of Saltaire. Sur
rounding the vast factory is large vii
lage, or small town, containing many
thousand inhabitants, every one of
whom, OF working age, is somehow en-
ployed at the big alpaca mill. Sir Titus
Salt was the sole landlord of this busy
community, and the manner in which
he discharged his responsibilities as
such is one of the most notable facts of
his times. At his own expense, and un-
der his personal supervision, he pro-
vided every thing that seemed necessary
for the moral and material well-being
of his little kingdom. He built for his
people baths and wash-houses, schools
and places of recreation; he erected a
mechanics institute, the appointments
of which will compare with those of a
fashionable club, and he also caused to
be constructed chapel, attached to the
Congregationalist body, of which all
that can be said in the way of objection
is that it is only too splendid. Saltaire,
in short, has been established on what
may be called a basis of practical phi
lanthropy, while laudable attempt to
guard the morals of its inhabitants has
been made in the rigid exclusion from
the place of all public traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors. In these things Sir Titus
Salt both meant well and did well.
Personally, he was an intelligent, kind
hearted man, a progressive politician,
a munifcent contributor to public chari-
ties, and a jealous promoter of popular
education. His life has been, useful in
many ways. He made his fortune by
the Introduction of beautiful and
valuable commodity, and he spent
large portion of it in doing substantial
good to those he at once-employed and
served. In the history of the manufac-
turing industry Of England, few names
will have SO high a place OF honor as
that OF Titus Salt.-Lcndon Telegraph.

The Romance of Commerce.

With the death of Sir Titus Salt,
Baronet, ends a career which may not
inaptly be said to belong to the ro-
nance of commerce; for the story of
how the owner of Saltaire made his
fortune is indeed singular. Many years
ago there were consigned to a firm 81
merchants in Liverpool several bales of
some strange hairy wool from Austria
liza. Nobody had ever seen the like of
it before; nobody thought much Of it !;
and thus it lay slowed away in a shed
at the docks as though it were so much
lumber. 1t happened one day that Mr..
Titus Salt, a small manufacturer of
Yorkshire, was in Liverpool, and, wan
dering about the docks, he chanced to
come across this neglected consign-
ment of seeming rubbish. He exam
ined it, however, and asked if he might
be allowed to take some of it away with
him. OF course he obtained permis-
sion to carry off as much as he pleased.
What he did with the sample he thus
procured need not be told. Suffice it
to say that he came back again, offered
to purchase the whole OF the Grub
bish,'' and became its possessor for
a merely nominal sum. This hairy
wool, this trash which no one would
even look at as marketable commod-
ity, and of which Mr.. Titus Salt Sc
cured the monopoly, was alpaca.

The Struggle for Existence.

The different members of the organ.
ic world are so bound together by COM
plex relations that any one change usu-
ally involves many other changes. We
know little, it is true, of the way in
which one animal or plant is bGund up
with others; but we do know that
groups the most apparently disconnect-
ed are often entirely dependent on 9TH
er groups. Thus the Introduction of
goats into st. Helena destroyed whole
tiora of forest trees. This was the sem
tence of death on all the Insects, mol
lusca, and perhaps birds, which found
their living on the trees. Swine, which
ran wild in Mauritius, exterminated the
dodo. The same animal is the most
mortal foe of venomous serpents.
In many districts the browsing of
cattle will prevent the growth of trees.
With the trees an end is put to the in
sects which depend upon the trees, to
the birds which feed upon the insects,
and. to the small mammals which live
upon the fruits, seeds, leaves or roots.
Insects, moreover, have the most won-
derful influence on the range of man.
mails. In Paraguay species of fly de-
stroys newborn cattle and horses
Hence neither Il of these ami
mails runs wild in that country,
although they abound in the adjacent
regions. This leads to a great differ
ence in the vegetation Of Paraguay, and
through that to a difference in its in
sects, birds, reptiles and wild mamma
lia. The extinction of this fly would
change the whole face of the country.
So in South Africa, in the districts in,
tested by the tsctze fly, no horses, dogs
or cattle can live. Yet it has no effect
on asses, zebras or antelopes.
Mr.. DarWin's often-quoted case of the, ;.
cats and clover afford an apt illustration,
of the point in question. 1t is known
that in England both red clover and
wild heartsease are fertilized only by
the visits Of humble-bees. But hum
ble-bees are largely kept down by field
mice, which destroy their combs and
nests. -Field-mice, in their turn, are
kept down by cats. Ii there were no
cats, there would be no red clover or
wild heartsease. For, in that case,
there would be no check on the field,
mice, which would multiply SO abund-
antly as to destroy all the humble-bees.
There would then be nothing to fertilize
the red clover and heartsease, and the
two plants would produce no seed and
become extinct. -Worcester (Mass.) i
