tion one Of the best ever offered to persons
looking for such an investment, and private

Dying in Strange Positions.

While coming back to the hospital we
found Ike Green, OF my company, hang
ing across the fence dead. lie gave out
while we were on the skirmish line, and
he was not able to get into wagon.
After getting rested, suppose he started
to hunt us up, and while over the fence
he was struck with a bullet, and there
he stopped. The ball passed through
his stomach and spine lie was no cow
ard, else he would have faced the other
way when he had such good chance.
Several dead men have been found in
hollow logs or behind logs or rocks, as
though they had been wounded and
crawled in there to protect themselves.
One poor fellow sat behind a big tree
with II Bible in his hand. He had been
passed dozen times and more during
the day by ambulance drivers and burial
squads, but they had all thought that
he was alive. He had been shot in the
thigh, and he had gone to this tree for
protection, taking his Bible out he
thought, no doubt, that he would find
consolation in reading it, but while set
ting there ball cut him through the
back of the neck deep enough to break
the spinal cord. His head dropped for

Diet of the Monkey.

DR.. Allison, a London physician, has
been making experiments on a monkey.
He says: Some time ago | bought a
rhesis monkey, intending to study his
habits. He is about eighteen inches
high, and tame. feed him with the
same food take myself He likes fruits
best of all; raw grains and cooked veg
etables and potatoes next. He prefers
his potatoes without salt and rice with
sugar. Peas and beans he will not cat
unless very hungry. He always eats with
his hands the same as the Turks, and, as
he does not wash them beforehand, he
swallows much dirt. When ! give him
hot food he has to wait until it cools be-
fore he can eat it, or before he dare
thrust his hands into it. | tried his plan
few times with my porridge and stews,
and had to wait before | dare finger
them. thought if mankind were forced
like my monkey, to eat with their fingers,
that we should not damage our teeth and
stomachs with hot foods, nor should we
indulge in soups. Soups are very good
for exhausted people, but not so good
for persons in health, as they are not as
easily digested as more solid articles; in
fact, the superfluous fluid they contain
must be absorbed before digestion goes
on. Every food offered him was first
of all smelt of, and then, if the smell
was agreeable, he ate it; if otherwise, he
threw it down. II mankind would
always be guided by the sense of smell
we would eat less rotten cheese, high
game, ETC., than we do, and consume
more delicious fruits, whose aroma natur-
ally attracts us. He is also a nose
breather, and | never saw him breathe
once through his mouth-another good
example which mankind might follow
with benefit, as we naturally are nose
breathers. - Herald Of Lealth.

An Ingenious Expedient.

The telegraph wires in London are not
all above ground, as is the case here,
but belong to the underground system.
The main wires are laid through the big
tunnels, in which are the gas and sewer
pipes. These tunnels arc big enough for
man to walk through easily. The
branch pipes, containing the side wires,
running oil from the main line for sew
eral miles, are much smaller, of course :;
and the workmen must be very careful
not TO lose the connections between the
larger and smaller wires Not long ago,
however some men who were repairing
one of these lateral wires failed TO at
tach to it a leading line by which the
wire could be drawn back into its place.
The blunder seemed to involve great
loss, for it looked as though the whole
side pipe would have to be dug up to re-
place the wire. In this dilemma, a re-
markable step was taken. A rat was
caught, and around him was tied one
end of very fine steel wire. He was
placed in the pipe; but, after running a
few yards, he stopped. Then came an
other curious step. A ferret was put in
after the rat. As soon as the rat heard
the ferret coming behind it, the fine
wire began to pay out. 1t was feared
that the rat would show fight, but it did
not; and the complete circuit was made
by both rat and ferret. When the rat
came out at the other end of the pipe, it
was caught and by means of the fine
wire, the telegraph wire was drawn
through. So he rat saved the telegraph
company thousands of dollars.

LOye-Signs in the Face.

People do not generally think of mar
rage in common sense way, but unite
themselves with any one who takes their
fancy. Divorce courts are full of cases
based on simple incompatibility of tenn
per.
The nervous temperament should unite
itself with the bilious vital which is
known by plumpncsS of person, dark
hair, eyes and complexion, activity of
the nutritivc organs, fondness of social
pleasures, etc.
The features of the face indicate
great deal as to the activity of the brain
and the peculiar direction of the faculty.
For instances, full red lips, and broad,
prominent chin show great strength and
aldor in the love element. A narrow and
pointed chin is the more exclusive and
mOnogamic.
The former will usually be accom-
panied by broad neck and expanded
brain back of the ears, while the retreat
ing chin will be found with a longer,
narrower neck.
Full, round eyes, high in the center,
are also indicative CT honesty and purity
of love, while the broad or flat eve is
more inclined to be loose in love matters.
Low and scowling eyebrows Indicate
subte.fuge and resis ;ance-a disposition
to shift, evadc and resort to many ways
to accomplish purpose or to avoid diff
cultlcs. Projecting eyebrows tell of me-
chanical skill, stern nature, with talent
for details.
Full and finely formed lips bcspeak a
large heart The perfect mouth is full,
with the upper lip we'll curved in the
center and with neither upper nor lower
protruding Such mouth indicates love
for all that is beautiful and tasty; a
whole soulcd and generous nature, good
disposition. strong affections, desire for
caressing and kissing, affections both
active and passive. When the upper lip
is thin in proportion to the lower, it
shows that the affections are not bal
anccd. Its pOsscssor may receive cares
ses and kisses, but cares little about
giving them. Lips turned upat the cor
ncrs indicate mirthfulness.

tallic oxides, to produce those tints of
discoloration which are necessary to
make the imitation a good one. The
feldspar, silica and clay are ground to
an impalpable powder under water, then
Cried and made into paste. The teeth are
cast in brass molds, varied in size and
shape to suit the requirements of the
mouth. A special kind of paste, to
form the enamels, is first to put into the
mold with small steel spatula; the pa-
tinum rivets, by which the teeth are to
be fastened, are adjusted in position and
then the paste forming the body of the
tooth is introduced until the mold is
flied up. Next ensue powerful pressure
and drying. When removing the mold
the tooth goes through process called
biscuiting analogous to particular
stage in porcelain MANUFACTURER in which
state it can be cut like chalk. 1t is then
sent to the trimmer, who scrapes off all
roughness and unnecessary projections,
and fills up any depressions which may
have been left in the operation Of mold
ing. A wash called enamel is made by
selecting various ingredients more fusible
than those of the tooth, grinding them
to fine powder with water, and apply
ing the thick liquid as paint by means of
a camel's hair pencil. The tooth then
goes to the GUNNER, who applies gum
comprising oxide of gold and other in
gradients. At length heat is applied.
The tooth, when dried, put into muz-
zle, or enameler's oven, where it is placed
on layer of crushed quartz strewed
over slab of ireresisting clay. After
being exposed for time to an intense
heat, the tooth is taken out and cooled,
and there it is, beautiful forever.
