George William Curtis and Mast

George William Curtis is at Newport, be-
ing the guest of the Mafquands writes a cor.
respondent He feels at home anywhere in
Rhode Island, as that is his native state.
Curtis is now in his Goth year. 1t is more
than third of q century since he made his
first appearance in literature, taking at once
o first-class position, which he has retained,
both as an orator, author and editor. His
residence is on Staten island, where many of
the leaders in Harper's Weekly are written
Mast, who has temporarily discontinued his
cartoons, lives in Morristown, and travels
but little, though he has recently visited
Saratoga springs. He is "a native of Bavaria,
and began his career as an artist in the hum
blest manner. His hits at Tweed and the in
famous ring did much toward breaking the
latter. and James Gordon Bennett has also
WINGED under the power of his crayon. Mast,
indeed, is a wonderful genius, but see what
road to the public was opened to him in
Harper, whose patronage indeed has given
him fame as well as wealth. Hence it will
DO well for him to resume his place, as other
wise he will soon be forgotten. He needs the
Harpars full as much as they need him, and
the salary $500 per week. is certainly very
handsome. Mast has first and LAST drawn

A Dentist on the Preservation OF the
Teeth.

A Dentist on the Preservation Of the
Teeth.
"Betty Blunt" in Chicago Herald.
Doctor, are not great many teeth
ruined by having the enamel worn off with
tooth powders?"
''No; that is a most pernicious fallacy. I
wish all this world knew the truth, that the
enamel of tooth cannot be worn of with
brush and any kind of tooth powder; Motif it
were scrubbed five hours day for $50 years.
More teeth are ruined by fear of securing
them than by all other causes put together.
The best way in the world to preserve tooth
is to keep it highly polished; then no foreign
substance adheres to it. These adhesions and
gradual rustings are what destroy teeth. II
you wish to keep piece of steel you polish
it. If you do not it will rust away. 1t is
precisely the same with a tooth. The only
danger that can arise from the use of the
harshest tooth powders is that they may in
iure the gums. Don't ever use charcoal or
salt, for, while they are excellent for clean
ing, they are ruinous to the gums. Charcoal
is full of little, sharp slivers that get under
the gums or cut into them and cause trouble;
and grains Of salt, you know, have
very sharp edges and corners. Cuttlebone
toothpowders are the best, think. But by
all means keep the teeth clean and highly
polished. That reminds me" continued the
dentist, ga handsome and well-dressed lady

Why, it was worse than sewer. told her

she had used it thoroughly for week would
see her. again. The prescription was for q
tooth brush and box of powder. Doubtless
she was vexed when the druggist com
pounded it, but it was what she most needed,
nevertheless"
II have heard that many medicines given
by the physicians injure the teeth. Is that
true, doctors"
''No, not to any considerable extent. I'll
tell you where that idea comes from. You
know, when q person is sick he is not so apt
to clean his teeth as when he is well. That is
one trouble; but . greater is that the teeth
ere not used much. Sick persons eat but lit
tie, usually: and what they do eat is often In
the form Of pastes or gruels that do not de-
mand much chewing. Now, the teeth are
like any other part Of the person; If they arc
unused they become soft and more subject to
the decaying influences. Put your arm in
sling for month and the muscles and whole
member will become soft and fabby. So
with a tooth that is not used for some time.
Now, when tooth is growing softer each day,
and it is not being cleaned as often as it was
when it needed cleaning less, Of couse it rap
idly fails. This is why the medicines are
charged with the destruction"

the occupant of cell No. Z tainted dead away
with cry of despair that the old janitor
hushed his song and said:

"Bijah,n said the court, as he turned to the
janitor, ''have you been singing again this

"Y-yes, sir. That is, warbled off a verse
or two"
"And it caused me to faint away, and gave

added the prisoner.

And maidens they buffet the wave;

The maiden 80 rosy and buxom to see,
Strolled over the glistening sand

And groaned in dismay when he saw her
arise
While her blush floated out with the tide.

THE OINOHONA TREE.

The Experiment Of Cultivating Qui.
nine About to be Undertaken.
Chicago Times
President Barrios, of Guatemala, has made
arrangements to try the experiment of cult
waiting the cinchona tree, and W. J. Forsyth,
q planter of Ceylon, who has ridden thou
sand miles through Central America, explor-
ing the country to discover the best site for
plantation, is now in New York on his return
to East India to select the seed for five
million trees. Speaking on the subject. MIR.
Forsyth said: 1.-THE rapid increase in the
number of uses to which the bark of the
cinchona tree is put, not only for the manu-
facture of quinine and as an ingredient Ill tho
substitute for hops, but for various CON-
mercial purposes, induced President Barr1os
to try this experiment Although the Gin
chona tree is not a native of India, but was
introduced there in 1879 by the celebrated
botanist, Clement Markham, at the instance
of the British government, the culture was SO
profitable that not only has the original IN
vestrnent of el50,000 oeen repaid, but the
trees have been valued at 81 900, OOO."
There are many varieties of the cinchona.
One is the calisaya, which is rich in alkaloid.
Another variety is the officinalis, the bark OF
which is known AS crown bark. Other varle-
ties are condamanca and the succirubra. The
last named is rather larger than the others
and more robust and of quicker growth, but
not so rich in alkaloid, though it yields plenty
Of bark. These barks are generally known
to commerce as Peruvian bark, though not
cultivated in Peru nor grown there to any
great extent. The trees are planted from
three to four feet apart, and mature in about
six years.
There are three methods of treatment in
cultivation. One is by thinning out, or Sc
Letting the largest trees to be retained. An
,ther is by coppicing, which is simply cutting
he trees down to stump and permitting the
boots to grow At the harvest these shoots
ire cut off. The third method is called the
McIvor system, and consists in taking the
bark from part of the matured tree and
messing over the stripped place until the bark
is renewed If the messing is carefully done
the bark will renew itself continually. The
bark is sold at 2 shillings to IL shillings
pound, and is sold readily, for the supply has
never yet been too great. The cinchona tree
requires tropical climate and plentiful
rainfall 1t would not grow in the United
States, but can be cultivated in Mexico. The
tree requires careful cultivation.

wire and all were prostrated, one of the
men being so badly shocked that he was

contact with the wires is almost Invariably
attended by a shock, sometimes very
serious one; and citizens of that city oh
ject stoutly to having the wires stretched
before their windows, or over their
houses. When the wires are blown down
by storm, any one passing by is subject
to be injured by touching them. This is
an additional reason why electric wires
should be placed under ground where
they cannot be touched and it may be set
down that that method of laying all wires
