Teeth Used A Jewels,

We have frequently heard Of gems Of
thought falling from the lips, but it has
been left to the Nineteenth century to
implant actual jewels in the teeth, 30
that as the lips move, no matter what
sentiments they utter, the jewels fiash
with rare brilliancy. Verify are ones
teeth becoming objects Of value. A
''fsd' still later than jeweling them is to
preserve the molars as they are drawn,
have them carefully polished and wear
them as single charms, or, il there be y
sufficient number, have them set medal
lion shape and made into bracelets. The
wearing of a human tooth is said to be
~unequaled as a carrier Of happiness and
insurer Of personal safety.
This queer fancy may really be claimed
as belonging to Nj century, n no record
is found Of it in the musty pages of long
ago. Not so, however, with the long
walking sticks with the crook handles
that many ladies carry along in their
summer jaunts, whethe- lid jaunts be
up steep, rugged hillsidos or over the sea-
shores even plane. The Alpine stick
looks picturesque, SO thought the woman
of fashion of the time of Charles III,
although the finger Of improvement has
undoubtedly been laid on the sticks Of
today. They are made of polished wood,
are about four feet in length, and have
fancy heads of unique designs, usually OF
wrought gold.-Table Talk.

Cholsr.'s Career In Sicily.


The British consul at Palermo, In his
Inst report, observes that business daring
Last year suffered greatly from an cpl
demic Of cholera in Sicily, the mortality
being very great In most Of the towns.
The population OF Palermo lived for
some months in a state Of Savage
panic" The effects were heightened by
the ignorance and superstitious character
Of the people generally. In the poorer
quarters 1t was believed, as in the Middle
Ages, that the government and the richer
classes were disseminators Of the cholera
poison, in order to exterminate the
poorer population. Sisters Of Charity
were stoned in their visits to the houses
Of cboleraic patients, and even doctors
were sometimes obliged to visit the sick
under military escort. A man with a
decent coat on his back always walked
in danger OF being assaulted, since it was
believed that all were agents in a con-
spiracy fer the extirpation Of the poor.
In interior towns tragic scenes ensued in
consequence Of this superstition.
THE popular mind in Sicily seems in
accessible to any idea Of the virtue Of
clean water and soap" and sanitation
has been 30 completely neglected that Il
may be doubted whether cholera has not
became endemic. For a time MESSING
become a yeritable desert; many Of the
chief medical men fled, as well as nu,
merous ~apothecaries; every house wa
closed and food was most difficult 10 pre-
cure, and what was obtainable was Of the
very worst quality. The mortality wa
almost entirely confined to the humber
classes, all who could leave the city
having fed.-Scientific American.

How Chinamen -squeens" Foreigner.


The Chinaman looks upon q foreigner

not make his appearance every day, ad.

lars. When he comes on the scene the
name OF money becomes kun (~silver)
rather than CHEN (bronze CASH. Times
without number We have heard passers
by on road and river congratulate our
men on the good JOB" they have on

have escaped at least a small amount Of
squeezing" "Hal Jo-ahl Ten dol

q rule, missionaries expect to pay half az
much again as a native gentleman. The
plan is q wise one, for the extra sum is
very small, and the hard working coolies
keep on good terms with US. We have
known foreign merchants pay eight and
ten times the proper fare; but the
Chinese do not respect them any more
for their reckless expenditure, and are
only demoralized by it--Boston Bulletin.

The writer asked DR.. Watts how. Il
was he avoided getting bitten by a rabid
dog now and then.
81 can't avoid it," he replied. simply.
"Look at my hands; you can see for
yourself they are covered with scars,
many of which have been inflicted by
what people call mad dogs"
But If so, why have you not had
hydrophobia2"
because there is no such disease"
said the doctor. 'What you call hydro
phobia or madness in dogs is merely a
sort of fits, brought on by worms, consti-
patton, overheating, or various other
causes. Highbred animals, being Of
a more nervous temperament, are more
likely to run crazy with it in summer
than ordinary ours. Under such condi-
tions the poor brute loses its head and
tears about, swapping at whatever comes
in its way. II will never chase you, as
is vulgarly supposed, but will keep right
on blindly, without seeing or knowing
where it is going, until stopped
with a bullet or club. II it bites
any one, that person is likely to
die from a complaint propar
gated through the imagination - by
causes not at all understood-the most
important symptoms of which are con-
vulsions and an adherence of water.
Now il is quite certain that many have
died of a trouble apparently identical,
who never were bitten at all; while |,
who have been fairly lacerated a hundred
times by mad dogs, am as well as posi-
Bile. This | attribute simply to the fact
that | have never permitted myself to be
frightened by trifles of the kind. Stats
tics show that, since Pasteur's alleged
discoveries, more French people have
succumbed to hydrophobia than ever be-
fore in the same length of time. l have
no doubt hat his operations are RESPONSE
BILE for the increased death rate. Every
scared person that comes TO him who
is not subsequently taken with fits he
counts as a cure, while the few resulting
cadavers are not thought worthy of sci
entifc consideration. As an example
take the case Of the children who were
sent across the water some time ago for
treatment by means of a subscription
gotten up for their benefit. One Of the
boys subsequently died Of hydrophobia,
but the dog that bit them is still alive
and kicking" - Boston Cor. Chicago

A Source of Courage,

There are, of course, many degrees Of
courage, endless varieties in its mani
festations, but my OWL experience leads
me to believe that this virtue in man
follows the same natural laws as obtain
In the cas- of horses and dogs. The bet
tev bred all three are the greater viii be
thSr innate pluck. In the well born
man, however, there is found another
element of the highest value. The man
proud of a brave father, or, still more.
of a long list Of brave ~progenitors, even
II fate has been so cruel as TO give him
thin blood and a timid disposition, will
feel bound to sustain what is commonly
called ''the honor Of his name" The
struggle within him may possibly strain
every nerve, but his pride will conquer
his weak spirit, and in the hour of trial
aye, even of appalling danger-will
enable him to play the part of the hero,
and to play it Wexford Wolseley in

A Hard Working Novelist.

A gentleman who mas recently visited
Wilkie Collins at his home in Wimpole
street, London, says that the novelist IL
looking old, and that his hard work has
left its mark on him. He is thin and
toops very much, but his eyes. though
near sighted, are bright and sparkling.
Mr.. Collins is hard worker, and when
busy with a novel usually works night
and day until it is finished. II is quite
common for him to work fifteen hours at
. stretch, eating scarcely anything and
drinking only a little champagne during
that time. He gets very much excited
over his stories, and walks about the
room reciting the speeches Of his charac-
ers in a most dramatic manner. -Har-

A Clergyman's Criticism.

A clergyman who has married hun
dreds Of couples among the fashionable
circles Of our seaboard cities, said lately:
1.-THE criticism may seem uncharitable,
but IL Is q matter Of sober fact that in
half Of the marriages which come under
my observation, there was reason 10 sup
pose that the motive Of either bride or
bridegroom was TO better her or his
worldly condition."
The reason Of this Is, not that the
young American Is less capable OF deep,
unselfish feeling than the young men Of
other nations but that he has learned 10
attach more importance than they do 10
che Injuries and display Of life. lie has
not the money TO provide as comfortable
OF splendid a home for his wife as his
father has given him, hence no looks out

Disease Among Copper Workers.

A physician of Birmingham, Eng,
Who has spent long years in observation
Il what is known as ''braziers' disease"
or ''brass workers ague," asserts that
the trouble Is due to acute or chronic
copper poisoning. Almost all workers
IN brass or copper soon begin TO show
Egns Of the disease. A green band APP
pears on the neck Of the teeth, between
the crown and the gum, the edge of the
gum itself becomes slightly blackened,
The perspiration has a greenish tinge,
and even the hair takes on a greenisb
hue, signs all indicating the absorption
q copper by the workmen. Where the
osmplaint is acute, dyspepsia, colo, and
nervousness set in, and even deafness
md symptoms Of locomotor ataxia have
been observed.-Chinago Eewa

A Peep at Castle Garden.

During my visit To Castle Garden Mrs.
Boyle took me to the different depart
ments of the institution. In the store
rooms the trunks, parcels, bedding and
other baggage Of the immigrants were
slowed away in neat piles, and were SC
arranged that the persons in charge could
with little trouble put a hand on any.
thing required. In one corner there was
a miscellaneous collection Of bundles,
large and small-the unclaimed belong
ings of numerous sIeerage passengers.
They are kept for months, perhaps years,
in the hope that they will some time be
called for. Within Castle Garden there
is a restaurant, or rather eating place,
where bread and sausages, milk, beer and
other edlbles are to be had at stipulated
prices. A huge slice of German bread,
with about one-quarter of a yard Of sau-
sage, costs ten cents, a cup Of milk five
cents, and so on. The staple article il
bread, and a woman with a family OF
little children buys a loaf and goes of to
a corner to give them each their portion.
There were some buxom looking
women, and an occasional one with a
pretty face, picturesquely dressed in the
costume of her country, but usually the
~countenances were thin and often bag.
gard, In one of the outside buildings a
half dozen or more women were waiting
patiently the arrival of their friends.
Their names were to be found on cards
In the hands of an officer in authority
and il vas here they were to receive sis.
ter, aunt or brother, as the case might
be, who was to introduce them to theil
new world and life. A few steps away
from this apartment was the temporary
hospital, where Matron Elisser had
