When mans teeth become decaysd they
may be b"red out and filed with gold.
When horses teeth are rotten thew are
pulled out. II Billy d. had been man and
had not wanted them filed, or even a COM
mon sort of a horse. the teeth would have
been pulled without more ado. But 81 200
horse, with record of 2:141 with running
mate, could not be handled in the ordinary
way. The bad teeth were crowded tight
together, and there was danger of breaking
the jaw. DR.. Charles ii. Peabody was
called in, consultation held, and bold
operation decided upon. Assistants were
summoned, and Billy d. had moose passed
about his fOnr feet. The end of the rope was
hauled on, the feet came together, and Billy
d. dropped helpless to the floor. speculum
was pried between his jaw in front. A vet
Urinary spectrum is a sort of jsckscrew,
and with this Billy DIS mouth was forced
open wide enough TO take in key, and held
so. Then one man took hold of his tail,
drew 1t straight out, and held it there with
his feet Traced against the patients back.
This was to keep Billy d. from drawing
himself up and straining his spine. One
assistant watched his feet.
The doctors located the teeth, and with
the knife a cut was made through the flesh
near the frontal snews, about at the "chesk

quarters of an inch in diameter and perhaps
one-eighth of an inch thick, was taken out,
leaving a hole leading right through the
jawbone and over the teeth. Into this hole
a long iron rod was introduced and placed
on one of the bad molars, which, as they
could not be seen from without, had to be
located by measuring the distance from the
front of the jaw inside the mouth. Seven or
eight strong blows with mallet on the end
of the iron rod started the big tooth. Billy
d. moaned just little at every blow. Then
his tongue was held, the forcsps, as big as a
pair Of ire-tongs, were set about the tooth
and manned. long pull, strong pull,
and a pull altogether brought the tooth out as
slick as whistle, and Billy d. said ooh!
or something like it, and closed his eye.
The other molar was now pretty loose, and
it, too, was drawn without difficulty. The
man at the.tail let his hold go, the jack
screw and the horrible wire were removed,
and Billy ID. scrambled to his feet aud
walked to his stall, apparently feeling much
relieved. The hole In his jaw was syringed
out and filed with cotton.

When Prince Albert Victor was al Var.
mouth last May he attended service in the
parish church one Sunday without being
recognized, and, having taken his seat in 4
large empty pew he was presently ordered
to quit II by the owner, who arrived late
and Tuning, but resolved to insist on his
rights. The episode has led TO n correspond.
ence with the Blshep of Norwich, who has
written expressing hope that "the de.
plorabie incident may be the means OF
eilec'ually putting down the unjust claim
OF any parishioner TO an exclusive right in
the parish churches OF the land" II may
console the Prince TO know that the Duke Of
Wellington once suffered similar indiguity.
He was staying at Walmer, and walked into
Deal one Sunday to attend evening service.
On entering the church he noticed that n
large square pew in a desirable position was
standing empty, SO he seated himself In IL.
When the service had proceeded some little
time an upstart looking woman appeared nj
the door Of the pew and desired the Duke 10
:" Come out |" and, when he had obeyed her
command, she went in, shut the door, and
ensconced herself in space which would
have accommodated a dozen persons. The
Duke quietly took place in the free seats,
and at the close Of the service desired the
beadle (who was in prodigious fuster at
having missed the great man) to ego and
tell that lady that she turned the Duke of
Wellington ont of her pew" The effect of
this news on British snob Of the most RAM
pant species may be imagined. The lady
would probably have crawled to ,Walmer on
hands and knees only to. obtain a'recognition
from the Duke; and here, when she had the
chance of making his acquaintance, and
praying cheek by jowl with him, she had
deliberately insulted him. This experience,
however, was wholesome one, as 1t con-
verted the Duke TO the system Of open pews,
save.

The Dead Sea is an old aud decrepit salt

the Mediterranean, just as the Caspian lies
several feet below the level OF tue Black Sea:
and as in both cases the surface must once
nave been continuous, II Is clear that the
water OF either sheet must have dried ND to
very considerable extent. But while the
Caspian has shrunk only to So feet below the
Black Sea, the Dead Sea has shrunk to the
enormous depth of 1892 feet below the Medi-
terranean. Every now and then some enter
prising De Lesseps or other proposes to dig
canal from the Mediterranean TO the Dead
Sea, and 80 re establish the old high level.
The effect of this very revolutionary pro.
ceeding would be to flood the entire jordan
valley, connect the sea of Galilee with the
Dead Sea, and play the dickens generally
with Scripture geography, to the infinite de-
light of Sunday school classes. Now, when
the Dead Sea first began its Independent ca.

A Fashionable innovation.

Here is a startling piece of information.
The fashionable amusement this season Is to
be knitting silk .stOckings-men's half hose,
girls. The days Of macrems lace are in the
past. The crazy quilt has fulfilled its mis-
sion and gone-but knitting-bsautiful,
useful, and gracious mploymsnt-itjust the
toniest thing out. 1t has q practical side
which appeals to the grosser instincts of
men. Hand knitted stockings are the very
acme Of elegance. Neither the Prince Of
Wales nor yet Barry Wall can have any
thing more truly refined and dainty than
hand-knit stockings. But they cost from 81
to 90 pair. Tho raw material, however,
for q pair only costs about 81, and IL the
fingers of lovely woman supply
the s3.25 worth Of labor they are only thai
much more valuable.
A woman to be attractive must possess the
power of sitting down quietly and listening
If she Is always galloping over lawn-tsnnis
ground or kicking up her heels over croquet
wiokets she will be very interesting to boys,
but very tiresome to men. Then II she sits
down she must be employed. II she Is
utterly idle she will fasten her mandibles on
The first man that comes along from the
desperation Ofidleness, and, finding II difficult
to get away from woman who evidently
has nothing TO do but TO talk to him, the man
becomes an unwilling captive and spends his
time devising methods to escape. Now, II
she has four shining knitting-needles in
her hands, flying back and forth through
slken meshes of red or blue or royal purple,
she is plainly not dependent upon chance
Corners for company, aud the chance
corners will appreciate this fact by remaining
In the neighborh0od.
Everybody is familiar with the rows of rock.
Ing. chairs that line the piazzas of summer
hotels, every rocking chair with It's burden
of idle, clacking, novel reading femininity.
Give these women SOME kind of useful and
picturesque employment and see how quickly
they are transformed into natural appearing
human beings. And the employment must
be obviously useful. Men cannot grasp the
true inwardness Of cutting out littla pieces
to put them together again as patchwork.
Crocheting Is all blamed nonsense to the
understanding, but they can take
In stocking with scarcely a mental
effort. II means something tangible to their
blunted ssnsibilities, and the prospect of
having pair or two of hand-knit hose
gently thrust upon him Is not without its
charm to tile average man.

And nearer drew the time Of dear delight,
And faster beat my heart, and hope was bright,
As sun went down and left the twilight gray.

And knowing this my life was sweet and gay;

THE SONG SUPREME.

However mute my lips here seem,
They praise you, darling, and salute
You love, which Is song supreme,
However mute.
With neither dulcmer nor flute,
They lead my spirit TO Its theme;
But with kiss, loves silent lutte,
They lie upon your lips and dream
OF perfect iower and perfect fruit;
And sigh in ecstasy extreme,
However mute.
