this afternoon published the following

A,,Toothless Time Coming.

The American tooth, the dentists
tell us, is something fast disappear
ing. What is TO take its place they
leave 10 conjecture. Whether tooth
less race is on its way or whether a
new animal is to be involved from
the present human creature on This
continent is perhaps an open question.
Whatever IL is that may come to pass
the fancy recoils before the prospect.
Children Of II years often have 800
worth Of gold in their mouths, others
needing as much quite as badly, but
unable to afford the outlay. Chill
dren of l6 often wear complete sets of
false teeth, and other children innurn-
cradle have teeth that are decayed be-
fore they penetrate the gums, and
that have 10 he filed as soon as they
are i'll sight, the crumbling material
and Thin enamel, even then, giving
but little TO work upon.
At first it was thought all this re-
suited from ignorance, from candy
eating, from want of care and clean
illness. But lis now understood that
in most cases the fault is inherent in
the quality of the tooth, and the only
remedy SO far suggested is diet
calculated with especial reference TO
the making Of sound bone. This is
supposed to be found in the coarse
grains and food of similar character,
and the most confirmed beef-cater
alive yields to the superiority at tins
point of the little kernel Of grain that
leeds his beef itself-IIarpers Bazaar.

AN HISTORICAL HoesHEAD.
Aveteran Tobacco Hogshead Takes
Part in Iouisville's Big cele-
bratiOn-A Hogshead
with a Story to
Tell.
lOwensboro Inanlrer.l

Mention has already been made
through the columns of the Inquirer
Of 10. b. Aud's hOgshead of old to-
bacco. 1t was of the crop of 1883 and
was prized by him in 1860. Since
that time the old hogshead Of leaf has
stood quietly on its head in Mr.. Aud's
barn, free from the molars of the low
ers of the weed. 1t went through all
the vicissitudes of the "latc un-
pleasamtness," though not without
many scars, for its body shows some
fifteen or more shots fired into il by
negro troops, who thought lurking
enemy had taken shelter behind IL.
Again, when the gucrrillas, in their
predatory mode of carrying on war,
were raiding about Knottsville, they
saw this self-same old hogshead and
took up the idea that Mr.. Aud, who
was known to be wcll-to-do, had
concealed his ready cash in
the heart of the h0gshPad.
Thinking TO secure the supposed hid
dch treasure. they broke open the
head of The barrel and dclved down
TO the tentcr in the search. Failing
to iiud the treasure they decainpcd,
and after their departure Mr.. Aud
lrcpamned the old hogshead and
slowed 1t carefully away, and has SO
kept it slowed for the past twenty
five years, having made vow after
the election of Lincoln never TO dis
pose of it until a Democratic Presi-
0cnt was elected. That satisfactory
event having transpired, the hardened
old hogshcad was wheeled into town
yesterday and shipped to Louisville,
where it will take a conspicuous part
in the parade to-day, and will doubt
less attract the attention of the tobac-
co men.
In connection with the history of
the hogshead, II might be well 10 add
that Mr.. Aud at one time was offered
over four hundred dollars for it, and
at another thirty-five dollar per
hundred pounds for its contents, both
of which offers he declined, and but
-Cleveland's election he never
would have moved it from his premi-
ses.
