ARTIFICIAL TEETH.

The use of artificial teeth is not so
modern as is generally believed "Cos.
mos" states that in the museum Of
Corneto. on the cOastof Italy. there are
two curious specimens of artificial teeth
found in Etruscan tombs probably dat
ing to four or five centuries before our
era. These graves contained the bodies
OF two young girls OnEhe jaw of one
are still to be seenstwo incisors fixed to
their neighbOrs bysmallsgold- rings; in
the other the-rings remained, but the
artificial teeth had fallen out The
teeth had evidently been taken from tho
mouth of some large animal.

TOHOUSEKEEPERS.

There are good reasons why we are
now selling so many Carpets. Some of
them are:
BECAUSE our stock is the largest
BECAUSE our prices are too low for
the qualities offered
BECAUSE our goods are fresh-arriv-
ing daily from our mills; are
OF newest patterns and latest
cOlOrings-
BECAUSE, although manufacturers
we retail; and it is in our power
to offer greater inducements in
prices
BECAUSE we always have something
TO show in the way of Special
Bargains-we mean real Bar
gains
BECAUSE our statesmen are polite
and attentive, and do not mis-
represent.
Now we claim these great advan-
tages as our own, personal and exclu-
slve property. We urge and invite
every retail carpet buyer to call. pur-
chase and receive the benefit there
from.

attention to the manner 10 which appoint

He now writes: This thing has gone on
continually up 10 the present time. Quite
q number OF men have been appointed to
positions which have come within the
scope Of the civil.service commission With
out having passed any examination. A
number OF these appointments have
been made TO positions below the ranks OF
civil.serviee places. and the appointees
have been pushed up since. But Us gen.
cral thing the appointments have been
made to what is termed Temporary service
and substitutes. The men getting posi-
tions in this manner are kept continuously.
Whenever an employe is dismissed or re.
tires from the service without the usual
form Of resignation, man may be ap-
pointed TO ill the place made vacant. and
be is known ~ . substitute. This is au-
thorized by civil-service law, but the Law
is violaAed by keeping the appointee in .
place permanently. When new clerk en-
tiers division Of department and is
known MS substitute. all suspicion is
allayed and there 10 no comment upon it,
so that the only way that the matter be-
comes public isythrough the appointees,

trick away. In the departments now there
are probably more tEan hundred clerks

porary assignments which are intended
to be permanent.

0oing for Randall.

II will be remembered that at the las
session OF Congress Randall. who wa
chairman OF the Committee OF Appropria
tions, really controlled the business o
the session by keeping back the bills o
bis committe and then blocking the way
with them whenever legislation came NJ
that he did not like. In this way he pre-
vented all tariff legislation and the free
traders were all especially angry with him.
According to the Washington correspond.
ent Of the New York Times they will at
tempt to curtail his power at the coming
session. The correspondent says:
.Stung to the quick by defeat in hun
dred attempts to obtain from him his
august consent that other than appropris-
ton bills should receive confederation,
many members have determined that IL ii

other than that in which the chsirman OF
the Appropriations Committee was inter.

permit, the exclusion OF other legislation.
The indignation aroused by Mr.. Randall's
blockading tactics. made possible aud sue
