Not 50 Bilious as He Was.

Ben Tuthill tells good story Oh him
self thus
Il have notion that beer gives any
one a tendency TO biliousness, and, so
thinking, ! have acquired the habit Of
looking at my tongue whenever am in
front OF a mirror. The other day In New
York | stood chatting with Il party of
friends near the Fourteenth Street theatre
We were Just in front of little cigar
store with very bright. clear, plato glass
show window, and as we chatted caught
nv reflection or the polished surface. and
lust as d matter OF habit stepped up TO 1t
and put out my tongue, so, for look. 1t
was all right and | turned back to my
friends and went on chatting In about
a minute a man seven feet long came out
of the door of the cigar store and came
straight I'D to me with his fists doubled
up Says he:
." You young cub. I'll teach you TO run
out your tongue and make faces at me
Il believe he would have pounded me
into jelly if the party had not interfered-
haven't been bilious since. Minneapolis

Life OF an Iron Horse.

THE iron horse does not last much
longer than the horse OF flesh and bones. :"
said an old New York Central engineer
to a reporter recently. The ordinary
life Of locomotive is about thirty years.
Some of the smaller parts require renew
ing every six months; the boiler tubes
last five years and the crank axles six
years; tires, boilers and fire proof boxes
from six TO seven years. the side frames.
axles and other parts, thirty years. An
important advantage is that a broken
part can be repaired, and does not con-
denim the whole locomotive TO the junk
shop, while, when horse breaks leg,
the whole animal is only worth the flesh,
fat and bones, which amount to very
small sum in this country, where horse
flesh does not find its way 10 the butch

A regards the teeth. It must he ad-
mitted that In relation to the subject In
hand they literally and truly cut both
ways. In the complete set of thirty two
there are twenty for grinding. eight for
biting and four for tearing Grinding
teeth are required for animals which live
On grains and other hard vegetable sub
stances; biting teeth are necessary for
animals which nibble soft substances like
grasses and some fruits; tearing teeth
are essential for animals which actually
tear tough and resistant structures, like
flesh. to pieces. In man the grinding
teeth largely preponderate; and how well
fitted these teeth are for grinding seeds
grains, acorns and the like, the teeth OF
our very old forefathers tell signific INT
and true tale. In mali the biting teeth
have conspicuous place and very de-
cisive Junction. with them, even to the
present, the skilled bitter can cut through
the finest thread, feat equivalent to di.
viding the most delicate filament Of food
fiber that grows from the earth. The
teeth are vegetable weapons; they are
the best Of weapons which the out and
out vegetarian can use; they assist him
both in practice and argument,
But then there remain those four tear
ing fangs, those canine or dog teeth, so
firm, strong and savage. The canine or
tearing teeth stand out strikingly in
favor Of the view that man is formed for
eating flesh; but it cannot be said by the
stanchest flesh eater thar the flesh eating
tendency Is the strongest altogether.
No; it Is certain that the balance turns
fairly the other way. 1t may, however.
be argued that the very fact of the exist
ence OF only four tearing teeth gives
countenance to the belief that nature has
supplied the human animal with fangs
for devouring animal flesh if he is obliged
or DESTROYS 30 to do. This Is true, but
only TO limited extent because we now
know that even the teeth, firm as they
are, become, by constant habit of life,
changed in form and character. Tie
canine tooth itself. even in the dog, has
been exceptionally so modified from this
cause as to lead to characteristic typo

Surplus Millions OF Chinese.

The Chinese have been barred out Of
the United States and are being mobbed
out of Australia, and are unwelcome in
South and Central America. Yet the
OVERLOOKING millions of China must find
some thinly populated country in which
to toll, and they are looking for it all
over the world. It is evident from the
reports of recent explorers in various
parts Of Africa that they should turn
their almond eyes toward the dark cont.
nent. where they will not be overpowered
by race prejudices, where they will find
a tolerable climate and productive soil.
where they can introduce many Of the
customs and crafts that belong to Chinese
civilization. and where their peaceful and
industrious disposition will be OF the
highest value. York Sun.

Composite Photography

Composite photography is the most
ridiculous nonsense TO which photography
was ever applied. 1t has neither com

The idea of twenty or thirty faces being

plain Anglo Saxon nonsense. One might
just as well print fifty pages OF one OF

Great Speakers Sometimes Routed.


Some Of the most experienced orators
have been Disconnected by very trivial
circumstances. Daniel Webster, rising
10 speak at a poultry show. was unable
continue in rivalry with giant Shan
,hai which began to air its lungs at the
same moment, and had to resume his seat
IN confusion. Erskine was always ex-
tremely sensitive to lack of interest by
his audience. WHO can get on with
that wet blanket Of face of yours be-
fore him2" he said once TO Garrow, who
was engaged with him in cause. His
first speech in the house of lords was a
humiliating failure, owing to the action
Of Chatham, who as a speaker began,
took up pen and made few notes as
if with the intention of replying; but
after listening few moments he dashed
pen and paper upon the floor with con-
temptuous smile This indifference, real
or pretended, completely upset Erskine,
whose voice faltered; he struggled
through the remainder of his speech and
sank into his seat dispirited and shorn of
his fame.
Burke was also extremely sIg/
5elwyn relates that he rose on oneS"eess
sion to speak, holding a bundle of papers
in his hand, when a rough hewn country
member started up and said: "Mr.
speaker, hope the honorable gentle
man does not mean TO read that large
bundle Of papers and to bore us with a
long speech into the bargain. Burke
was SO suffocated with rage as to be in
capable OF speech, and rushed out of the
house "Never before" says Selwyn,
did see the fable realized Of lion
put to flight by the braying Of an ass."-

two in Chicago. The bar in the Hotel
Richelieu has pictures valued at from
$50 900 to $40 900. The Grand, in San
Francisco, paid So 900 tor TWO paintings
which now adorn its bar. Of course
the question of the good that follows
this method of inducing people to visit
saloons is very debstable one. Yet
the custom Is not wholly without its
beneficial effects, after all, for it calls to
the attention of persons who would
under no circumstances visit an art
gallery, class of superior works. Since
the love and admiration of art, in the
great M iority of cases, is induced by
inspection, the tendency, therefore, is
to increase the admiration of art by
holding before the eye good works,
even thoagh they be found il bar.
HOW ART TASTE IS CREATED.
'Good works of art" said Mr.. Cha
pin, seeming to muse on the ideas that
suggested themselves as result of the
deductions on the influence of saloons
as an educator to art, "are to-day scat
tered everywhere,throughout the world,
and the taste in this direction naturally
grows with greater rapidity than be-
fore. There are more artists; more
men who not only have the means, but
are also possessed of the taste and am
bition to encourage art, by the pur-
chase of its products. Thus are the
works scattered, and thus, since con-
tact and even the most casual obserya-
ton tend to inculcate an appreciation
of the labors of artists, does the gen
eral admiration keep increasing. The
opportunity to see good works of art
also is now practically open to all, And
the contrast between the conditions
to-day and those few hun
dred years since, in this particular di-
rectlon, is very marked. Then the
church was the place where the works
of artists might, in the main, be seen.
To- day every city of note has its art
gallery. and the tendency to open them
on Sundays for the benefit of the labor
ing classes, who have no other day
which they may devoteito this pleasur-
able, innocent and refining pastime, i
not only in the direction of encourag-
ing higher appreciation of art, but is
also in the interest of morality, since it
keeps those who might otherwise be in
evil haunts in purer atmosphere and
amidst surroundings whose whole ten
d. ncy is to elevate and refine. How
many artists there may yet come into
the world, to portray In colors the sor-
rows and joys of the poor, as has al
ready been done in song, may never
fully be known. How far the influence
of good paintings upon the poor mother
may exert quickeniug interest on the
child within her womb, and leave the
undying impress of spirit that has
moved her heart deep upon the soul
of that child-until. in ripper years,
it is NANTES ed in works of art to make
