"Yes; and she's always mad when sho

which grows so rapidly that sho comes in
ABOUT every s'a ue0A' " i-'o - a.
Yes She imagines that it disdgures
her face, though there is really nothing
in 1t. She is nervous, and doesn't want
It pulled. There are quite number Of
ladies in tho city who have adopted the
filing method, though, of course. IL Is
some what destructive to the enamel, and
the tooth will not last so long, aud has
tendency to decay at the edges. Tho
women are crazy for it though, and 1t Is
most decidedly an advantage to some, as
1t produces an evenness about the edges
of the teeth which could not be brought
about in any other way"
"What classes adopt it the mostT
"Girls who are fond of singing and
brilliant conversationalists. A number
of actresses have also taken up with the
scheme"
"You file some very large teeth, pro-
sumeW
"Yes. As rule, the German girls have
the largest, though they are not Us par
ticular as the natives. Some big girls
have remarkably small teeth. Brunettes
have larger teeth than blondes, though
they are thinner aud more brittle"
"Then it Is due to temperament p
ayes, mainly. Often thin pipestem
of yellow-haired girl, with an arm like
a gas Jet, will have teeth as strong and
thick as u mans. Sometimes the most
delicate women have the strongest teeth,
l can't account for 1t, only upon the theory
of temperaments."
"What of fillingsW
"About the same. Tho moro nervous
tho woman-other things being equal
the more decayed teeth in her head, and,
of course, the more filings. Vanity plays
quite part, though, in this, as in every
other part Of dentistry. Girls want their
front teeth filed particularly. They
prefer an old tooth, half gold, to new
one any time. l have often been re-
quested to bore holes in the front teeth
and fill them with gold for customers"

The Tidal Wave In the Great Lakes.

MiUOuUktc NWfo'l oeHt"eSi oWJ So
A huge tidal wave was reported yester-
day to the city engineer and board Of
public works as having occurred tho pre-
yious afternoon in the lake. The effects
were felt a long distance up the Memo
monee and Milwaukee rivers. The waters
receded three feet at the straight cut, and
returned to their normal hoight within
fifteen minutes. Several swimmers who
were standing with their heads above
water in tho Milwaukee river, short
distance north of North,street bridge
found themselves suddenly submerged
when tho waters returned. The cause Of
the phenomenon is unknown, but is as
cribed in measure to the recent storms
which have had considerable influence
upon tho three rivers intersecting Mil
waukee. The Milwaukee river, which
until then had been flowing up stream,
suddenly assumed counter current at the
rate of one and u quarter miles an hour.
All tho river was completely flushed out,
but the old trouble is beginning again,
and the current has almost ceased. 1t is
estimated that the howage through the
Milwaukee river on Wednesday amounted
to /, ,O00, 100000 gallons.
