Our teeth no longer need decay,
All troubles of the mouth are past,
BY SOZODONT they're swept away:
And young and old may smile secure
With lips and teeth so bright and pure.

The Boy Who Loved His Teacher.
(From the Detroit Free Press.


A school boy about ten years old was
the other day halted by a benevolent
minded citizen on Second street and
asked if he liked to go to school.
"No, sir p was the prompt reply.
"Then you don't love your teacher ?''
"N-Yes, sir. That is, / didn't I'm TIL
yesterday, but now do. [ think she's
just bully"
Why have you loved her since yes
terday %
"Well, you know Jack Cain? Well,
he's the worst fighter in our room. He
can lick me and two other boys with one
hand tied behind him. Well, he was 60
ing to lick me last night, and he was
shaking his fist at me in school and show
ing his teeth and getting me all excited
when the teacher saw him.
"Did, eh ?"
"You bet she did; and the way she
took him out of that and wolloped him
and humbled him down made me feel as
If she was mother to me! When school
was out, Jack dasn't touch nobody. He
was wilted down, and when I hit him
with hunk of dirt he never even looked
around! [ guess I'm going to try and
lick him in the morning before he gets
over feeling humble!"

A Tough Doc.

From the London Telegraph
Cats have been credited with large
number of lives, but dog which belongs
to gentleman living at Ashburton, in
Devonshire, may fairly compete with
any specimen of the feline race. Accom-
panying his master on hunting expedi-
ton, the dog fell into mine shaft, to a
depth of some &c feet. AS he tumbled
down the narrow boring, his master dis
tinctly heard his body striking against
the earth and rock. For some time those
who took an interest in the creature lis
tened to hear if any sound of pain came
up from the depths below, but, as all was
silent, they lost hope of the dog being
alive, and, in the course of time, almost
forgot him. Considerably more than a
month elapsed, when one day howl was
heard to proceed from the pits mouth.
Very quickly miner was sent for and
lowered, when to the amazement of
everybody who watched the proceedings,
the long-lost dog was sent up, in sadly
emaciated condition, it is true, but still
alive and able to eat. It had been incar-
cerated in its prison 43 days and nights
So far as can be ascertained it had only
had water to live upon throughout the
whole of that period. The weight of the
dog when lost was Sc pounds. Four
days after it had been taken out of the
shaft it weighed only 80 pounds. Yet it
is still alive and doing well, rapidly re-
covering from the privations which it has
suffered.

Timely Suggestions.

An inspector of kerosene oil furnishes
the following precautions, which, if fol-
lowed up, would prevent many accidents.
To test the fluid, he says, take an invert-
cup or saucer; pour on it teaspoonful
of the oil; pass lighted match or taper
across the surface of the oil; if it flashes
or ignites it is dangerous. ito those
who will persist in using oils and fluids
known to be dangerous, would recon-
mend them to take the following precau-
tons: Fill and trim your lamps daily.
Never attempt to fill lighted lamp.
Burn your lamp with the wick turned up
full-never turn down the wick and burn
as a taper, for when SO burned the gas,
instead of being burned with the oil, col
lects and causes your lamp to explode.
Use burners which are constantly elevat-
ed above the body of the lamp. And if
you are determined to light your fire
with oil, first ascertain if there are any
live Goals in the CRATE or fireplace. After
yon have poured on the oil set your oil
can in the next room, put your trust in
the Lord and touch her off. By observ-
ing these rules you may be lucky enough
to escape an accident.

GA CURIOUS characteristic of English
country life took place on Friday, the
9th inst The wedding of very popu-
lar young lady of sporting proclivities
was SO arranged as not to clash with
the hunt. At eleven o'clock the hounds
met at the church door, enabling the
master and many others to attend the
ceremony, which their red coats enliven-
ed considerably. 1t is unnecessary to
add that the bridesmaids also wore
pink '"-London World.
AT one of the most exclusive balls Civ
en- at celebrated restaurant in New
York recently q lady lost valuable dia-
mOnd ring. 1t was at once advertised
for, and after q day or two woman
brought it to the owner, stating that
jeweler had offered her 500 for it. A
reward of 500 was paid to the woman,
who subsequently turned out to be the
maid of the lady who found the ring at
the ball. The question is, says the
Hour, did they go halves?
A SOCIETY of fashionable women has
been organized at LEIPZIG, Germany, for
the avowed purpose of discouraging ex-
travagance of dress, adornment and dis
play. The members are pledged not to
wear jewels, false hair, trains, double
skirts, or anything not demanded by de-
cency and self-respect As all these la
dies are rich and of high position, it is
believed that the example will be widely
followed throughout Germany. While
moderation and quiet taste in dress are
much to be commended, the love of
adornment and the desire to appear at
ones best is deep seated in every woman's
heart. 1t is the root of some of her
greatest virtues as well as her most dan
gerous faults.
AT recent leap year party in Wash
ington Miss Waite and Miss Busbee led
the dance, in which eighty couples fig
ured. The young ladies wore the badges
commonly borne by gentlemen on such
festive occasions; and the bachelors car
ried bonbons pretty bags and baskets,
the gifts of their gallant partners. The
gentlemen were dressed in docollete vests
with bouquets dc corsGge, had lace ruff
fles about their wrists and Threats and
up retiring attitudes while the girls exer-
cised their privileges vigorously and fire.
quently took occasion to torment their
partners by leaving them unexpectedly
alone in conspicuous places. Verify, it
must have been pleasant sight for him
who had no son or brother there.
