THE WOMAN 5 TOOTIIACHE.
She looked in at the dentists door,
says the Lewiston J0arRal, and said
she had a tooth she believed had u
cavity in it; maybe she'd have it out if
he wouldn't hurt any. The dentist as
sured her he never hurt any body. She
said she expected her tooth would come
awful hard. They wasn't like any
body's else. He said he guessed that
was so. She said she knew it would
kill her to have tooth pulled, for she
couldn't stand anything She knew
she should faint or scream or do some
thing horrid and the like O that; she
always did. He said he didn't believe
she would do so very badly, but she
said she should. Oh, she knew she
should; she wasn't like anybody else
in this world, and her teeth were
awfully sensitive. Mary Ellen Jones
could sit right down any day and have
any amount of teeth out, and the like
O that, but she never could, she knew
she couldn't She said she could fly
right up through the roof to think of it.
The dentist said she might take some
thing, but she said she couldn't, she
shouldn't dare to. She'd heard of
girl out west who took laughing gas
and she laughed three weeks and the
like O. that and all the family welt
crazy; and she didn't want to drive
her family crazy, for if their girl went
away they were going to break up this
summer and 60 down to the beach,
and she was doing everything sho
could to make it hard for the girl so
she would go away, for she'd heard
there was q lovely rink down to the
beach, and the like o that, and she
wanted to 90 And then she asked the
dentist if he thought her mouth would
be a good one to lit false teeth to. He
said she'd better sit down and let him
look at the one that ached, but she said
she guessed she wouldn't trouble him
to-day. The tooth didn't ache any
then, she didn't know as she could tell
which one ii was, and maybe twas
only tired; she'd chewed so much
spruce-gum this spring, and the like o
that; anyway, she wouldn't bother
him. She s'pOsed dentists were awful
busy folks. And she gave place to an
unshayen man who jumped five feet in
the air when the dentist pulled out 4
molar with inch fangs.
TIE PARsEE GIRL OF TIE PERIOD.
A well-known Parsee writer, Mr.. n.
S. Ginwalla, sends The Times Of !Hdia
4 lively, instructive, and entertaining
article upon the "Parsee Girl Of the
Period, which, it remarks, will prob
ably excite as much commotion in Par
see circles as Mrs. Lynn Linton fam
Gus article on the "Girly6f the Period
created in English Households a few
wears ago. The Parsee girl is appar-
emily in q state Of transition. She IS
leaving the manners, the traditions,
the customs Of her ancestors behind
her. She is advancing rapidly. She
can already sue for breach OF promise
and divorce. But, if Mr.. Ginwalla can
be trusted, she is still only parody
upon her English sister. 1t is her
ambition to look and act every bit an
English LADY," She dresses in semi
English fashion, in English shoes and
stockings and waistcoat, whatever
that article Of feminine apparel may
be; but her white head-dress, her
sudra, her bright saree, are still native.
1t is not generation since she left of
nose rings. In another generation She
will probably have discarded all her
native garments, which, as they are
picturesque and well suited TO the
climate, will be thousand pites.
She plays a little music talks little
English, spells little out Of q trashy
hfth-rate English novel, can draw
little, knit little, and do little en-
bro.dery. In word, she can do lit
tie Of many things, and nothing more.
The Parseo girl Of the period likes to

Bunder and the bandstand, and looks,

possible. Her first care is her dress
and face; her next, gayoties, pleasures,
and agreeable friends" Ostentatious
out of doors, she is extravaganza within,
and contriyes to reyolutionze domestic
life. The morning cup of tea has de
