Pacha, as an insult to the Khedive through
his wife, ''The Lady" says that the "Vice
Queen" has passed through agonies since the

ily in Russia, She is in fear of Palace intrigues,
and has only few Circassians about her. in
whom she can place perfect confidence, and
they are slaves. She told her European Wis

relief to her as an entire remuneration OF the
precarous and dangerous splendOr and dign-

her husband and chirdren to a safe and
quiet life She has always hitherto been pro-

June, and the fearful scene of which she was

bars of the harem windows, she declares that

WHEN GIRLS ARE OF AGE.-There is
very prevalent opinion that girls become of
age Younger than boys. This is mistake.
a girl of sixteen may make will of her per-
sonal property, a boy must be eighteen years
of age. Neither can make will of lands UNI
til twenty-one A boy of seventeen may mar
ry. \ girl can marry at fourteen. II she
marries under fourteen she, or either of her
parents. can commence suit to annul the mar
riace. and the court will declare the marriage
void because she, when married, had not at
tanned the age of legal consent. But the hus-
band cannot maintain such an action. lie IS
bound by the marriage, and cannot escape its
responsibilities unless the wife or her parents
have the marriage declared void by the courts.
If the marriage is ratified by any mutual assent
of the parties after the wife attained theage OF
fourteen years both become bound by it.

by a guardian appointed by the court. If she
be fourteen this is made on her application, If

and some others, girls are recognized by the
law as being more forward than boys and at
an earlier age are permitted to act for them-
selves. These distinctions are while they are
minors. After they. become adults there is no
distinction on account of their age. Boys and
girls alike attain full age when tWenty-one

MAKING TEETH. The manufacture of teeth
is a large industry. There are now twelve
manufactures of artificial teeth, that pro-
duce every year ten million teeth, or one to
every five persons in the United States Half
this number is made by one firm, founded Ill
1914. The total sales of these teeth amount
to one million dollars annually. The materi-
ais are tiedspar, kaolin and rock crystal. The
coloring is platinum, titanum and gold. The
fieldspar and crystal are subjected to red
heat and then thrown into cold water. Then
they are ground in water until fine enough to
float. Combined with coloring, they are sub
jected to immense furnace heat III moulds OF
brass, which are in two pieces, each mould
ing one-half of the tooth.
The process is delicate and has many inter-
esting Details In the earlier history of the
art dentists carved the teeth which their Gus
toners demanded, and apprentices were often
made useful in that way. The amount OF
gold used annually in filling teeth is five hun
dred thousand dollars. Lead was used from
117S to 1888. There are dentists in New York
who give, or say they give, diamond filings,
and in Paris they advertise diamond pivots
and emerald plugs. The filling of teeth is aid
ed greatly by labOr-saving machinery and cum
ningly-wrought tools. This country makes
dental instruments for all parts of the world
where dentistry is known. An ordinary OUT
fit of instruments costs five hundred dollars.

Observation-Disclosures is of all earthly un-
ions, almost the only one permitting no change
but that of death. 1t is that engagement in
which man exerts his most awful and solemn
power-the power of responsibility which be-
longs to him as one that shall give eaccount, the
power of abnegating the right to change-the
power OF parting with his freedOm-the power
of doing that which in this world can nev-
er he reversed. And yet it is perhaps that re-
lationship which is spoken of most frlVolously,
and entered into most carelessly and most
wantonly. 1t is not q union merely between
two creatures, it is union between two splr-
it's and the intention Of that bond is to per-
feet the nature of both, by supplsmenting
their deficiencies with the force of contrast,
giving to each sex those eXcellencies in which
it is naturally deficient to the one, strength :;
the other, sympathy, tenderness, meekness.
And of character and frmneSS of moral will, to
Just so solemn, and just SO glorious as these the
ends are for which the union was contempla-
ted and intended, just so terrible are the con-
sequences if prevented and abused for there
is no earthly relationship which has so much
power to ennoble and to exalt.
DON'T COIN DEBT.-Debt is the most un-
relenting tyrant against which humanity bat
ties Before it's mercess lash millions crnge,
and live out dwarfed existence. Suicide, lu-
macy, premature death and crime are the off
spring OF this monster; yet upon it money
kings fatten, titled or untitled aristocracy
thrives, while the great mass Of humanity
tolls on as galley slaves to this potentate.
The destruction of this dictator is the prob
lem of the near future, whose solution may be
