The practice Of filing the teeth is still
in vogue among the Mohammedan
Malays. 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 toQth standing out in a triangu-
lar relief, and a sharpening of the tooth
for all Of which styles considerable
variety in patterns exists. As all the
Mohammedan islanders set much store
ON having their teeth properly -im-
proved" the tooth-iler is an important
parsonage among them. His outfit in
cludes q hammer, a bracing stone or
anvil, chisels, files, and saws.
The person to be operated upon pre-
pares his teeth for the purpose by chew
ing raw rice or tumerie, and, Frustrating
himself on the ground, lays his head,
blindfolded, upon the operating bench.
The operator demonstratiyely repeats an
unintelligible incarnation phrase, and
wedging the subjects mouth open, per-
forms his work. The filing done, the
teeth are blackened, and the pain is
quieted with %eoeOannt water in which an
iron, inserted red hot, has been standing
for several days. For some time after
the operation the patient must avoid eat
ing things unpleasant to sore teeth. As
a recompense he has come into full credit
in society and may marry Popular

Once there were but few guides, but
those few were good guides. Now, apart
from the good men. there has sprung up
u class of guides, 50 called. which is far
from being composed Of the conscien-
sious and competent leaders who showed
the way Of old to victory. These new
guides will undertake to conduct any
rian, woman or child up anything. The
old guides would not work with n man
upon q dangerous peak unless they knew
that the applicant for their services
could 90 and climb. that he would .
become dizzy. that he would moi break
down or slip.
To-day a stranger may be waylaid by
unskilled guides. who will try 10 induce
him to attempt the most difficult things,
the things Of most renown, They can
bring the stranger up bad places; if they
fail they fail, but then they try for full
fare, and not ~infrequently they expose
their victim to IN amount of danger
which he is happily unable adequately
u estimate. The great guides and true
men of noble craft hold these sham
Guides in great adherence and contempt.

A EOOLIsH STORY.

The story that certain Republican sena-
tors will combine to pass a resolution de-
handing a complete copy of all the papers
in each and every case wherein removals
from Office have been made is not credited
by sensible people. IL has been assumed
that a few senators Of this thinking will be
able TO control a majority vote. The pro-
position is to have all the papers printed
as a senate document, as that would he
the only form in which it would be posi-
bic for the senate to consider them, owing
to the number of eases and the volumi-
nous character Of the papers. There isan
element belonging to this scheme which
appears Ia have been overlooked, and that
is the consent of the president Congress
can demand whatever it pleases, but the
executive branch of the government is not
necessarily bound to accede to the de-
mand That has been tested a score Of

The rhinese farmhouse is a curious
looking abode. Usually it is sheltered
with groves Of feathery bamboo and
thick spreading hanyans. The walls are
Of clay or wood, and the interior of the
house consists Of one main room, ex-
tending from the floor to the tiled roof,
with closet looking apartments in the
corners for sleeping rooms. There Is a
sliding window in the roof, made of cut
oyster shells arranged in rows, while the
side windows are mere wooden shutters.
The floor is the bare earth, where at
nightfall there often gather together a
miscellaneous family Of dirty children,
fowls, ducks, pigeons and Il litter Of
pigs, all living together in delightful
harmony. Foreign Letter.

There are several other varieties
of durable timber we would men
ton if we had time. The catalpa
is worthy of mention. 1t is a very
valuable and durable timber, re-
qujring very rich soil, grows tall
and straight under favorable cir
cumstances, and will richly repay
the farmer for proper treatment.
The black walnut is also worthy of
mention in this connection. Let the
farmer gather the walnnts as they
fall, carefully preserve them until
early spring, then plant them the
proper distance apart, care for the
trees whilst small and tender,
and in three or four years the tree
is ready for the wire. The fruit,
as they grow older, will rich
ly pay for the ground they shade,
for it readily sells in the market.

Bring Your Cotton to Pulaski.

The CITIZEN advised the people
last year to sell their cotton in Pu-
laski and we do not believe that
any one has reason to complain
who took that advice. The noise
of high prices paid here then has
gone abroad and buyers in the
cities are talking about 1t. The
same state of affairs exists here now
as did last year, and without fear of
injuring the farmer, in whose pros
perity we feel an interest Identical
with that of our own, we again give
them the same advice. We don't
represent that our buyers are fools
and pay more for cotton at any
time than it is worth, but we do
contend that they always pay the
top prices, and the farmer can cas-
lily ascertain that this is true by
referring TO the quotations in the
central markets. Cotton sold in
Pulaski never fails to bring the last
cent it is worth, and those who have
it for sale and within easy reach of
this place have learned to appre-
ciate this fact and show their APP
probation by bringing it here. The
trade is opening up encoUragingly,
and we do not believe that cotton
which belongs here will again be
hauled to other points.
This state Of affairs, so favorable
to the farmers of Giles, does not ex-
ist without reason. Competition,
the life of all trade, accounts for it.
Here we have our resident buyers,
such as DR.. White, Capt. Grove and
Capt. Oliver, who have long been
engaged in the business and have
handled large proportion of the
cotton shipped from this point.
They are honorable men and have
always dealt squarely with the PEG
pie. They have been buying cot
ton and will continue to do so. And
then we have men here from a dis
tancce, who come expressly to buy
cotton. They have come here to
stay through the season, and they
are going to do a share of the bus
mess. So with these two classes
we have a number of buyers. They
buy cotton for different markets and
for different purposes. Some of
them ship some grades direct to
others to the eastern
factories, and others to the commits
sion merchants in the large cities.
Hence there is necessarily competi-
ton. This is one of the reasons
why we say to the people that Pu-
laski is the place to sell their cot
ton. Another reason and better
one, is the marked fact that it sells
here for all it is worth.
A big creek farmer refused $3.50
for his cotton at his gin last week
and sent it to Nashville, where he
got 9.25 and a big docking that
brought him out loser. He brought
the next lot to Pulaski. The farm
er has voice in docking here.
