Pulling a Tooth With a Soaaz.


Mr.. Pedigree settled himself down to
grin and bear his toothaehe stoically,
and his wife, seeing him calm once more,
went to call on neighbor for sympathy
IN her vexatlons troubles. Then Mr..
Pedigree began to grow wild and fret
ful under the increasing pain He tossed
and moaned, and finally meditated =
deep and lasting revenge upon his ach-
ing jaw. He would devise plan which
should bring sudden relief and reflect
credit upon his name forever Aha he
had it, and finding several pieces of
string he tied them together, making a
cord OF twine about six feet long. One
end OF this he tied securely about his
tooth. Then he walked with the courage
OF despair to the parlor, and. climbing
by means of chair placed on the mar
ble-top table, he fastened the other end
OF the string to picture hook on the
cornice. After momentary hesitation
he jumped from the table to the floor.
In that brief descent, the events of his
life passed in review before him, and he
thought of the horrible possibility of the
tooth not yielding, and himself there
fore being left suspended in mid-air
What would his wife say to return and
ind him hanging against the wall like
u damp dishcloth or nm old coat? He
reached the floor in safety, however,
and lay there, half stunned, under the
impression that the top of his head had
been torn away. Struggling to his feet
and going to mirror he saw a string
hanging from his mouth. The pain was
rushing through his system in full blast,
and the tooth was still there The blast
ed string had broken. Nerved by his
agony, he fastened a wire round the
tooth, and started to repeat the expert
ment, when it occurred to him that, as
the tooth was in the upper jaw, there
might be real danger of the top of his
head flying off if he jumped downwards;
he must invent some way of falling up
wards, or having the strain come from
below, Hoop la! he had it again, and
be secured the wire to the lower hinge
of the door and prepared to fall over
backwards. just as he had started on
the second fall, Mrs Pedigree, alarmed
by the racket she had heard, came in,
which so disturbed her husband that he
grasped the door handle, thus breaking
the fall but giving his tooth an aggra-
waiting yank. He shouted aloud and
savagely unhitched the wire from the
door, but his gums were now too tender
to touch, so he walked up and down the
house, trailing the wire-afte him, and
whenever he accidentally tread on it he
emitted howl of anguish. Mrs. Ped
igree meanwhile followed him around,
calculating and scolding liz four keys
and three languages. Finally the cx-
hausted man sat down near an open
window. The cool air blew up his most
rils and called up sudden and violent
sneeze, and that bob-battened old tooth
| just flew out of his mouth and cracked
$15 mirror on the other side of the
room. Then Mrs. Pedigree tainted and
Mr.. Pedigree went to bed, and at last
accounts was still sleeping - Boston

One of the traces of the street car
horse broke. del2yiGg the car for seven
or eight minutes. MAR off to the right
one could see into the backyard of a
house, and directly the passengers Oh
the car were gazing that way at pan
tonime. A man on the car took it up
on himself to explain what was occur
ring. He began:
"a woman and her husband appear
at the back door. She is excited-he the
picture of calmness.
1t was so. The woman waved her
arms and gesticulated-the man seemed
to whistle.
Now she leads him to bedstead
which she has been scalding, continu-
ed the passenger She is probably
saving that she will smash it with the
ak, and he is probably replying that
she'll have to sleep on the floor if she
does. Ii l had time I'd advise her to
use kerosene oil in the crevices, but |
haven't"
The woman then led the man to a
carpet hanging on the fence and waved
her arms some more.
''She's telling him to pull off his coat
and beat it, explained the passenger,
land he replies that he'll see the old
thing burned first. No true wife will
ever ask her husband to have anything
to do with carpet.
The two suddenly disappeared into
the house, and the interpreter remarked;
Hold on-this isn't the end! She
taken him in to show where she wants
the kitchen stove moved to. There they
come, and she is madder'n ever"
The actors reappeared and stood in
the attitude of enemies about to begin a
combat.
''She's saying that she rues the day
she ever sat eyes on himn' whispered
the passenger She's calling him a
loafer and a drunkard, and he's telling
her to set the chimney atire and let the
tiremen do her housekeeping. Whoa!
there she s flying off the handle! There!
shes hit him with bedstead Stat! He
staggers, but RECEIVERS and tries to grasp
her! She whacks him again, and now
he turns TO flee. He reaches the fence,
but she reaches him!"
Some of the passengers ran out upon
the platform to get "A clean view. but
the interpreter climbed to the roof and
continued:
"She has him down on an ash-heapl
She's telling him that he has reached
the end of his rope and has got to cut
bait or fish. He struggles-she chokes
him and jams his head into the ashes
Now he is quiet. Now she lets him up.
Now he is walking toward the carpet
with stick. Ladies and gentleman,
the great moral exhibition is over and
virtue and perseverance have won an
other glorious Triumph

Window Cleaning,

Many persons seem to imagine that
any dirty rag will do for the job-a
great mistake Procure wash leather
of convenient size and some cotton
cloth. Two yards, divided into three
pieces, will be a nice size to work with.
Have the cut side hemmed, and they
will last long while. When it is de-
sired to use one; boil orsoak for an hour
or so in solution of soda and water to
get out the ''dress," then wiring out,
and rinse in as many courses of clean
water as you like; then partially dry
(practice will enable you to judge, fold
to convenient size and it will be ready
for use. The soda solution will now be
cool enough for the leather (if too hot
it will shrivel the leather) wash in the
same manner, and wiring superhuous
moisture out; then wash the glass
thoroughly with it and use plenty of
elbow grease, and polish off with the
cloth. Clofbier and FgT7sisher,

Lost.

There is scarcely anything that men
or women will rot lose; from their place
in the prayer book, during service, to
their arms and heads. Within three
years 1000 articles have been picked up
in New York Central Park, including a
great many hats and bonnets, which
puzzles the sergeant of police, who
wonders how it is possible for SO many
people to 60 bareheaded through the
park and into the city's streets without
discovering that they haven't their hats
with them. Among other things found
were brad awl, full-rigged toy ship,
a copy of the Revised Testament, ac-
tresses' photographs. leg of mutton,
bottle of pickles, amarriage certificate,
bottle of beer. Iady's back hair and
wig. These two last articles point to
a vigorous matrimonial discussion.

No Use for Them.
Concerning Certain Relics Of the Past-Dogs
that Have Had Their Day.


George Stephenson's Rocket" and the mag
nifcent locomotives of to-day, are built upon the
same general principle, yet the machine with
which the great engineer astonished his age is in
teresting now only as an illustration of the begin
ming of the invention. There were plasters with
holes in them long before BENsoN's CAPCINE
POROUS PLASTER surprised both the public and
the physicians; and the triumph of the Capcine
is founded upon the partial successes or the utter
failures of its predecessors Everything of value
in the old porous plaster is retained in the Cap
cine; but at this point all comparison ends, and
contrast begins For example:
The old plasters were slow in their action; the
Capcine is qnick and sure.
The old plasters lacked the power to do more
than to impart : light, temporary relief in cases
easy Of treatment the Capcine penetrates the
system and permanently cures the troubles for
which it is recommended
The old plasters depended for any good results
they might attain, upon an accident OF their max
ers AID the Iaked faith of their wesrers; the
Bensan's reaches its ends by means OF the scien
thc combination of the rare medicinal ingred
ente which it contains.
In brief, the old plasters, like StePhenson's dis
Cardet engine. are swit,he off the track, while
the Eenson's goes on it, way winning golden
opinions from all sorts of people.
Yet in this very fact lies the leading danger to
liah
entifc remedy Hypocrisy is the tribute vice
pays to virtue" Imitation is the concession fail
ure makes 10 success. BensOns Plasters are
parodied in name and style.
Beware of swindles. The genuine have the
word CAPCINE cut in the center. Price rs cents.

connection with the Northern Pacific night
train would be made by running a fast
through train from Chicago, leaving that
city at an early hour in the morning and ar
