The Dixie Scandal.

LONDON. Aug. 15.--Sir Charles Dke's friends
believe settlement out of court will be
effected in the divorce suit brought
by Mr.. Crawford against his wife,
with Sir Charles as correspondent.
If the goes to trial, it is thought it will be
conducted in way to afford as little scandal
or gossip as possible. Mr.. Crawford,
himself, desires to avoid making exposures
and wishes merely to obtain a divorce. Very
strong social and political influences are being
brought to bear upon him to induce him to be
contented with simple separation and to allow
the case to be postponed indefinitely, or for at
least six months, in order to give time for sub,
sidence of the passionate family quarrel which
the scandal has provoked

The Politicians Taking Rest Preliminary to

LONDON, Aug 15.-There is a dead lull in
British politics at present Most of the leading
politicians are enjoying themselves in the
country The Marquis of Salisbury
has gone to Hatfield to enjoy
a vacation. Lord Randolph Churchill is visiting
the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim castle.
The Duke has definitely abandoned the Liberals
and Joined the Tories. The Duke of Richmond
and Gordon, the Secretary of State for
Scotland, has retired to his castle
on the Surrey. Of the Liberals, Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, Home Secretary
under Mr. Gladstone, is rusticating at his coun-
try-seat at New Forest, while Sir Charles Dixie
has returned to his villa in the South of France.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain is preparing for his
Irish tour.
The holiday pause in legislation is to be much
shorter than usual, as the houses were prOrogued
until Oct. 81 only. Prime Minister Salisbury
will not tarry long at Hatfield. He will return
to London on the 8th of September, assemble
the Cabinet, and open the Tory campaign.
The only new phase in home politics which
has been developed during the past week, is the
activity of the agitation in favor of church dis
establishment. Mr.. Jesse Ceilings, Rad
ical member of Parliament for Ipswich,
Mr.. Henry Labouchere, and other
Radicals make disestablishment the main
plank in their platform. and they in
sist that the church funds should be applied for
educational purposes. The Scottish Disestab-

LONDON, Aug. 15.-1n France the electoral

in the Republic is much the same
as it is now in London, party lines are strictly
drawn, and no one can tell which side will be
the larger, when the Encouragement is
completed. The French Radicals. how

that Whatever changes may occur in the relative
strength of the parties, it is certain that the
French elections will result in the return of a
very different personnel from that which now
controls the legislation of the country. At least
four ffths of the Chamber of Deputies will be
composed of entirely new men.

MufiIntiOns of the Teeth.
lTopnlnr sclence MonthIy.l


The practice OF filling the teeth is
still in vogue among the Mohammedan
Nalays. The individual may choose,
according to his fancy, among three
things-that of simply rubbing away
the front surface of the tooth that of
filing away the sides so as to leave the
front Of the tooth standing out in tri-
angular relief; and a sharpening of the
tooth-for all of which styles consid-
cradle variety in patterns exists. As
all the Mohammedan islanders set much
store on having their teeth properly
" improved" the tooth-filer is an i'm
portant parsonage among them. His
outfit includes hammer, bracing-
stone or anvil, chisels, files, and saws.
The person to be operated upon
prepares his teeth for the pur-
pose by chewing raw rice or tumeric,
and, prostrating himself on the ground,
lays his head, blindfolded, upon the
operating-bench. The operator de-
monstratively repeats an unintelligible
incarnation phrase, and wedging the
subjects mouth open, performs his
work. The filing done, the teeth are
blackened, and the pain is quoted
with cocoanut-water in which an iron,
inserted red-hot, has been standing for
several days. For some time after the
operation the patient must avoid eating
things unpleasant to sore teeth. AS
recompense he has come into full credit
in society and may marry. The legen-
Diary origin Of the custom is a miracu-
lous escape Mohammed is said to have
ence had from the pursuit Of redoubta-
bic antagonist. After having eluded
his pursuer by being overshadowed by
swarm of bees he was nearly over
taken again, and hid in a dry well.
Some Of the pursuing party thought he
might be in the well and threw stones
into it. He was looking up at the time,
and the stones knocked out four Of his
upper teeth. The fashion Of filing down
the teeth is, however, probably older
than Mohammedanism. NJ. z. I. Hamy
has made study Of the 'perforations of
the teeth by the aborigines of Central
America and Yucatan which are men,
toned by various authors. Mota Padilla
says the Indians cut their teeth down
10 sharp points and bored holes in
them, which they filled with a black
A statuette dug up at TEAR

Of an upper jew dug up at Campeachy
during the French occupation shows the
real teeth marked with precisely similar
oerforations. The holes appear to have
been filed afterward with bluish-green
stones. The operation of boring these
holes could hardly have been practiced
IN living persons, and the evidence in
iicates that it was done after death.
No similar mutations are known to be
now anywhere.

ana asked him to give me his opinion
concerning the manifestations. He told
me that he fully believed in them,
ana could perceive nothing in these
iacts contrary to the teachings
OF the Church. Among the common
people in Russia the belief in ghosts,
spirits, and all kinds Of fantastic be-
ings is almost universal, there not being
perhaps in the world more supersti-
tious people. But all attempts to COM
municste with the spirits Of the dead
inspire them with terror, and they con-
slider persons who do so as magicians
and sorcerers. As to the middle classes,
there are among them good many be-
levers in spiritualism who even some
times organize circles, but this is usually
done in an off-ar don amateur sort OF
way, showing little genuine interest in
the subject.
