SMALL TEETH NOW IN FASHION

"Natural teeth? Oh, come now, you

why not? Everyone knows the Chinese

people among whom the women color
their teeth blue; others there are also who
color them yellow or black. Besides this
there are fashions in hair, eyes, noses,
ears and hands. The members are
moulded and ornamented in accordance
with fancies and tastes. Very large teeth
are never pretty. In fact, an otherwise
cOmely-lOOking person can be made most
hideOus, if the mouth is small, by having
large teeth. Noses are now made in any
shape desired, and why should the teeth
not receive the same attention?
'Then you mean to say that teeth can
be cut down, rounded off, polished up and
made perfect"

A New Danger to Dudes.
FHftIdeIDHi1 Hec0fU.


"Here, conductor, this young mans
tainted"
The words were uttered in a tone OF
great excitement by a stout woman OF
about 40 years of age last evening in
a Columbia avenue car, and as she spoke
a slim youth who was seated beside her
in a corner of the car fell forward and
dropped in heap upon the straw.
A doctor was hurriedly summoned, and
after disappearance Ofabout ten minutes
the young man and physician came out of
the room, which had been kept closed,
arm in arm. The young mans face was
still pale, and he walked with very per-
ceptibIe tremor. The doctor said:
"That is the fourth case this month that
/ have seen of the deadly effects of wear
ing tight trousers, and had that young
man not been attended to promptly he
might have been in great danger"
eight trousers~ queried bystander,
incredulOusly.
eyes, sir; tight trousers! Why, you
cannot imagine how often we doctors
have to treat cases of illness brought on
by no other cause. Take that young man,
for instance; his trousers were at least
four sizes too small for him; not too short,
of course, but too tight, and for hours and
hours he had been walking about with a
pressure of at least 2T5 pounds to the
square inch on his OleXi YiyisectOri ar
teries, which are situated in the calves
of the human leg. This tremendous pres
sure forces the blood into channels not
able to carry it without undue straining,
and although the victim feels 20 pain he
is liable at any moment to topple over in
a swoon, and unless relief is promptly
given a long and serious illness is likely
to follow. 1t is a similar trouble to that
experienced when it was the fashion for
ladies to wear very tight sleeves, except
that in the case of tight trousers the ma
terial is heavier, the arteries larger, and
the result apt to be more dangerous and
difficult to relieve"

Putting walters on Roller skates
Chicago Hotel Reporter.


A novel and original idea is being eX-
perimented on by the proprietors Of the
Paxton Hotel at Omaha. Having observed
the rapidity and ease with which persons
move about on roller skates, it occurred
to the Kitchen Brothers, proprietors Of the
Paxton, that possibly dining room walters,
with the requisite amount Of practice,
could Herewith facilitate table service.
With this end in view the head waiter
drilled his crew, and few days ago the
first experiment was made. A patron OF
the house writes us that, with the eXcep-
tiOn of two of the boys who came down
with the trays, everything passed of
well.
The prOprietors declare their intention
Of giving the scheme a thorough trial and
the head waiter says he can and will make
a success of this new style of service. II
the skates can be made nOiseless and the
walters become expert skaters we do not
see why, at least in large dining rooms,
the roller skates cannot be made very
successful. The project is at least worth
a fair trial, and the prOprietors in ques-
ton are to be commended for taking the
initial step toward possible improve
ment of dining room service.

THE BLAIR BILL.
he Way it is Received by the Hou

The Way it is Received by the House.
The passage of the educational bill,
says a Washington special, by the Senate
has greatly excited the members of the
House. Those members who are friendly
to the bill are eager for an opportunity to
consider it, and those who are opposed to
it are so decided and emphatic in their
opposition that they are determined to
resort to even parliamentary tactics to
prevent its consideration. The prevailing
belief is that if the bill should be brought
before the House it would be passed by a
combination of Republicans and Southern
Democrats. Not a few of the latter are
outspOken in support Of the measure.
The Missouri delegation is believed to
be solid against it. Nothing has oc-
CURED this session which has caused
prOfOunder feeling of apprehension as to
the future course Of Federal legislation
and the future of American institutions
than has the Overwhelming majority in
the Senate IN favor of the Blair bill. Espe-
cially is this true among Western and
Eastern Democrats. There is some pros
pect Of a sharp division among Republi-
cans in the House. HiscOck, of New YORK
the leader Of this party in the House, de-
clared his opposition to the bill to-day,
and there is reason to believe other Re
puDICdHs Will lOllOW HiIu unless party
caucus indOrses the bill. Morrison, Ran
dali, Holman, Eaton and other prominent
Democrats in the House will plant them
selves squarely and immoyably in oppOsi-
ton to the great scheme, and if they can
prevent it the bill will not get before the
House during the present Con gress. An
organized outside pressure working in the
name of education and philanthropy VIII
be brought to bear on the House. Even
before the Senate bill had reached the
House to-day the lobbyists were in the
House corridors busy in their efforts to
secure votes for the measure

Twisting the Mules Tail.

like prize fighters. ''Maybe you'd like
to twist that mules tail" II think could
do it," "Here's $40 that says you can't"
cpl go ye." The money was put into the
hands of ships supply contractor, and
the details were properly arranged. The
lazy man was to twist the mules tail-it
he could get near enOugh-with all his
strength, and was to escape unhurt.
The crowd was to stand at a respectful
distance and see fair play. The lazy man
swung his coat over his arm, borrowed a
chew Of navy plug, and walked down the
pier. The crowd followed slowly. The
mule showed strong desire to eat not
only the approaching men, but the pier
itself. But his Yiciousness was restrained
by a strong rope halter. The lazy man
tossed his coat upon barrel and grasped
the mules tail with both hands. The
crowd held its breath. The twister
wound the tail into a hard knot and pulled
the mule from side to side as far as the
halter would permit. The mule made no
effort to resent the indignity. The
lazy man again Threw his coat
over his arm, and, taking the money
from the contractor, sauntered up Mon
tague street. The crowd was speechless.

HANDSPRING IRREGULARITIES
A Social Custom that May be Taken as
True DelineatiOn of Character.

The different modes of shaking hands
will delineate human character better
than any other single act can do, and
many peculiarities of different persons
may be noted in the performance of this
social custom. Who would expect to get
a handsome donation, or any donation at
all, from a man who will give two fingers
to be shaken and keeps the others bent as
upon an Etching palm" The hand
cOldly held out to be shaken and drawn
away again as soon as it decentfy may be
indicates a cold, selfish character, while
the hand which seeks yours cordially and
unwillingly relinquishes its warm clasp
gives token of warm disposition and OF
a heart full Of sympathy for humanity.
How much that is in the heart can be
made to express itself through the agency
of the fingersl Who, having once expe-
rienced it, has ever forgotten the feeling
conveyed by the eloquent pressure Of the
hand from dying friend when the tongue
has ceased to speak, A right hearty
grasp of the hand indicates warmth and
ardor, while a soft, lax touch, without
grasp, indicates the opposite character
istics. In the grasp Of persons with
large-hearted, generous minds, there Is a
''whole soul" expression most refreshing
and acceptable to kindred spirits; but
when a man presents you with few cold,
clammy, lifeless fingers, feeling very
much like dead fish, and expects you
to do all the shaking, it viii naturally
make you think Of the hospital and other
cheerful things.
Contrary to this style, there is a habit
among a rude class of giving your hand
crushing grasp, which is often most pain
full. In these cases there may be great
kindness and a ''strong'' affection, but it
is as crude as it is hearty. If the grasp
is warm, ardent and vigorous, so is the
disposition. If it is cool, formal, and
without emotion, so is the character. If
it is magnetic and animating, the dispO-
sitiOn is the same. AS we shake hands so
we feel, so we are.

Aroused a tempest of female scOrn,

Adown the street and the church door through,
And found its way to the family pew.

Some of them moaned-s0me of them cried
Most of them sWOOned in their pews and died.
