TRANSPORTING SOUND TEETH.

DO you ever transfer teeth from one
'ersons jaw to nnother's, doctor r. asked
reporter of dentist in Thirty-fourth street.
Yes, occasionally" was the. reply. 81
sometimes have patient whose teeth are
sound with the exception of one or two, and
who will not be content with any artificial
substitute. III such case the thing is to
find person willing, for any reason, to part
with sound tooth corresponding in posi-
ton aud size. One of my cases was o young
man from Princeton, a theological student,
who had badly-decayed front incisor and
had horror of false teeth. went to half
the offices in the city, but did not find any
one who wanted such tooth extracted.

Well, have both parties to the opera

the tooth to be transferred is found to bt

Yes, for a su..lcient consideration.

NOT A STUPID YOUTH.

A San Francisco millionaire hoping to en-
courage his promising son in ways of thrift
promised to give him two per cent month
interest opon any money that he might save
out Of his spending allowance and deposit in
the 1,aternal treasury. The young man was
getting $40 week for pocket money, and
promised to show his appreciation of his
fathers affectionate Offer. He began TO
make deposits without delay, and kept the
practice up with remarkable regularity.
The old gentleman noticed presently that
she deposits exceeded the whole of tho
boys allowance, but accounted for this by
surprising that he had saved some money
previously. Besides this, hereceiyed money
frequently from his mother SO that fond
parent rejoiced in the saving disposition
that his son was displaying. discontinued
aniil the boys deposits assumed such d.
meusionsas to demand an explanation. I,
turned out that most OF the money that he
aad been deposi!ing had been borrowed
Inasmuch as he was drawing Interest ON his
deposits at two per cent month, an was
paying only ten per cent a year for them.

TWO LOVING MUSTANGS.

Some time last fall ID. O. Evans bought n
pair of Texas mustangs which were offered
for sale Mt one Of the auction stables in this
city. They were shaggy littlo animals
anderszed and apparently of 80 little value
that it was only the low price Mt which they
were offered that induced Mr.. Evans to
MAKE the purchase. Early in the winter
Mr.. Evans sent both the horses out to q
farm near Muldraugh's Hill, to remain uutil
spring. They were but little used and were
permitted to run ut large in the pastures
The evident affection which existed between
the two animals was noticed aud commented
upon by everybody and they became great
pets with the farmers household, the child
rem especially. They were inseparable SO
that where one could be found the other
WAS not for off and If either was ridden or
driven away from home its mate had to be
taken along, too.
About two weeks ago the smaller horse
was taken i'll from some malady peculiar to
The equine race. He grew steadily worse
Jay by day in spite of all treatment and
finally became s. weak that he wa0 unable
to stand or to eat. His mate never deserted
him, but lost his spirits, and, with dropping
head remaining with his companion, never
straying of more than Il few yards from his
side. The sick horse finally died, and Sun.
day the carcass was carted off and thrown
into gully
From tho time of his death his mate
seemed possessed with demon. He was a.
first fastened up in stable, but he kicked
the door down and ran out in the fields,
neighng and acting in such frenzied
manner for some hours that no one dared
approach him, and finally in ono OF
his insane freaks he fell aud broke his neck
A stranger instance of affection among
animals seldom or never occurs. - Lotlisuill

EXTRAORDINARY BIBLES.

Among the special collections which have
made the Lenox Library so well known to
bibliophies in all countries il that which it
possesses of Bibles in all languages, and
more especially in English. OF the several
thousand editions contained in the alcoves
and cases of the north and south halls the
most valuable as we'll as the most interesting
3, of course, the fine copy of the Gutenberg
or " Mazarine Bible. printed at Metz, by
Gutenberg, in 1450-1455, the first complete
book ever printed with movable type, and
which still remains one of the noblest speci
mems of topographic art. OF the Mazarine
Bible there are but six copies on vellum and
twenty-one copies on paper known TO be in
existence. Two of the latter ave in this
countryside Lenox copy and the Brinley
copy, which was sold by auction in 1881 to
Mr.. Hamilton Cole, of New York, for
$4,000. The Brinley copy has seventeen
missing leaves supplied in fac-simile, or il
would have brought six or seven thousand
dollars mere The last public sale before
this was at London, in 1873, when the Per
kins copy was sold by auction to Bernard
Quaritch for e, COO The same copy was
afterwards sold by Quaritch to Henry HUH
for CO, 900. This is about the present
market value of a perfect copy on paper
The copies on velum are still more valuable
The last public sale was at f3, 400, and a
perfect copy would easily bring $4,000 in
London or New York to-day.
In another room is fine copy of Cover
dale's Bible, the first complete edition of the
scriptures in English. 1t was printed a.
Antwerp in 1885. No perfect copy of the
Coverdale Bible has come down to this time
The Earl of Leicester's library in England
has one in excellent condition, but with the
map missing. The Lenox copy comes next
to it. The Lea Wilson copy, which sold a
few years ago for $1,s25, has several miss.
ing leaves supplied in fac-simile. OF the
two editions of John Eliots Indian Bible the
Lenox Library has five copies, which com.
prise all the different varieties. Their rarity
may be estimated by the sale of the Brinley
copy of the first edition for $500. Here,
too, is the only copy known of the first
edition of King James version-a 12mc
volume that has had almost countless repro
auctions. The curious visitor may also in
spect the various Bibles which, on account
of some freak of typography, have been
sought by collectors. In the so-called
"vinegar" Bible, for instance, the running
title of the parable of the vineyard at the
goth chapter of st. Luke is printed the
Parable of the vinegar" In the
Brooches Bible" the word breeches" is
substituted for "aprons" in Genesis iii. Z.
And in the Wicked Bible" the word
"no." is omitted from the seventh COM
mandaent. The English copy of this Bible
in the library was printed in London in
1851. The impression of one thousand
copies was, as far as possible, suppressed
and heavy fine was imposed on the print
ers. Singularly enough, just one hundred
years later, the same error was made in 0
German version printed at Halle in 1871, a
copy of which is in the library. Boston

A MAD ELEPHANT.


The elephant Pilot has never been thor
oughly subdued, and strict watch on his
movements is kept at all times. He is a
massive beast, with long, ngly-looking tusks.
III the spring season the male elephants
always become restless, and spirit Of H.
subordnation has been developing in Pilot
for several days, which recently broke out
in all its force. At about o'clock Pilot and
Albert and Gypsy, female elephant, were
taken to the trough on the Twenty-sixth
street side of the garden, opposite their
stalls, to drink. Gypsy was between tbt
two males and slightly to the rear, SO that
the heads OF Pilot and Albert were about or
line. Suddenly aud without the least
warning, Pilot made furious lunge at
Albert, and gave him blow which toppled
him over on his side. As Albert rose again
he was received by another blow, which
again upset him, and by this time the entire
troop of elephants were believing with
excitement. Gypsy, in the meantime,
had tried to force her way In between
he two brutes, but was pushed gently asid'
by Pilot, aud the two male elephants cant
together again with crash. In the "but
ting" struggle which followed three OF the
posts supporting the floor OF the amphlthea-
ter above were knocked down. The beams
forming these posts were sixteen inches
square and they were firmly braced boil
above and below.
AS soon as the fight began Mr.. Newman,
the trainer in charge, hurried to the spot,
and by vigorously beating Pilot succeeded
in driving him back to his stall, and chain
ing both his fore feet to the floor. While
this was being done the elephant stood with
his trunk and tail uplfted, and bis huge ears
spread wide open, bnt he made no effort tc
resist the chains. As Mr.. Newman arose,
however, after securing the brute, Pilot
made lunge at him with his head, and
struck him in the mouth with his tusks,
breaking one of the upper teeth and loosen
ing the others, and knocking the trainer half
senseless to the floor. Pilot made a second
blow at him WIN, his trunk, just touching
his cheek, which still shows the mark Of the
blow, and then seeing Newman's hat. which
elephant vented his rage on this, tearing il
10 shreds in his mouth 10 an instant, and
then stamping on II viciously. Newman
arose in a dazed condition and staggered
away. With the exception of the injury to
his teeth he was fortunately not badly hurt.
It was decided by Mr.. Arstingstall that Pilot
must not be taken into the ring, and that Il
would be unsafe to remove Gypsy and Fritz,
young elephant to which he has shown q
great deal of affection, from his side. The
huge beast stood between them last night,
lashing bis tail furiously and swaying bach
and forth, but SO securely chained that he
could not make a change of three feet in hi
position. His eyes, which are usually mech
and dull, glared savagely at everybody who
approached him, and the keeper took good
care not to come within reach of his power
ful trunk. Pilot has since been killed.--N
