delicious fruit do not know how to grow
them successfully. When the plants are
ready for the garden make considerable

cellent, and quantity Of chicken manure

II is not strange that $4,000 dentists find
employment in the United States DR.. j..
y. Farrar, Of New York, states in an arii-
Gle published in the Dental Laboratory that
not less than half ton OF pure gold. cost
ing about $4,000 l. annually packed
away In the mouths Of Americans, and in
addition to this, there il probably four
times ss much cheap material, such as ill
yer, plstinu, ETC., used in filling cavities
In teeth. He makes the curious and in
teresting estimate that only 800 years
would be required TO bury the amount OF
gold coin now in circulation in the coun-
try $4,000, 600 in the sraveyards. The
magnitude Of American dental operations
il shown by the statement that about 300,-
600 artificial or porcelain teeth, mounted
on various kinds Of plates, are made every
year. DR.. Farrsr supplements these fg-
ures with the important statement, based
on statistics compiled with painstsking la
Dor, that out Of an average Of eighty peo-
pie Of all classes, only one can be fornd
with perfect dental organs. The other
seventy nine require a dentists care.

A Coon SUGGESTION To HousEKEErERs.
No one knows until she has tried il, says
an experienced housewife TO one Of our
contemporaries, how much she may change
the aspect Of things about the house by
using little varnish. On a sunshiny day
take the old chairs and tables out ON the
porch or by an open door, and after thor
oughly busting and wiping off with a
damp cloth, apply thin coat Of varniSb,
and so cover up scratches and marreJ
spots Of all kinds. II will dry in veIy
shor, time, and you will be surprised to
see how much good you have done. A
flannel cloth, with very little linseed oil,
is good to rub furniture with, but the
greatest care must be exercised to prevent
any oil being left on the wood to attract
dust. II must be rubbed until you would
not know, except by the improved appear
snoe, that any oil bad been used.

Ida Kelly, Of ltascs, Minnesota, sent
note to her lover, Sol Greismer, with whom
she had quarrelled, asking him to come on
certain night and e.ope with her, Sol
was elsted BY the idea Of marrying her,
partly because he wished to triumph over
her parents. who had opposed the match.
He was under her window with a ladder
at midnight She came down, dressed as
though for a journey, and kissed him.
They sat down at little distance from the
house and discussed the question which
direction to take. Ida was in Soils lap,
with one arm thrown about his neck, when
with the disengsged hand she cut his
throat with razor. Having murdered
him, as she supposed, she ran back to her
bel; but the wound was not mortal. II is
conjectured that she intended his death to
be attributed to suicide. as she was careful
to regain the letter which had lured him.
