AT til PLAY.

Katharine Phillips Williams IN Harpe's Weekly.
A pretty comedy Of love tonight,
And all the house Is gay with flowers and light;
There is q hint IF passion in the plot
A love that's lightly won and soon forgot
An old, old play.
But, ahl my lady, though you SIT and smile,
] see your eyes steal, dark'ning all the while,
To where q brown head bends above a gold
With all the grace is bent ore yours Of old,
When ct the play.
The scene goes on, with music and the dance.
But still sh- marks, with sidelong, furtive glance
How tenderly he bends him down tn say
Some earnest words, in Just the sweet old way
It's the play.
Her heart-beats stir the flmy fall of lace;
she lifts her fan ethwart her paling face
And turns TO answe merry Jest with Jest,
With all the while Q strange weight On her
breast
A bitter play.
The curtain falls; the comedy IL done;
The music fades; the lights die, one BY one;
Ny lady sees with what protecting care
Do strong hands wrap q slight form from the air
After the play,
Within her weary eyes O dull fire burns.
Yet smiles she still as to her friend she turns;
And why her lips are white be cannot guess,
Nor why her small hand trembles so-unlezs
Too long the play

Degeneration Of the Human Teeth.

The law of retardation exhibits itself
in the teeth of the higher races Of mankind
in a highly incOnvenient manner. The
greatly developed brain requires all tue
available room in tho skull there Is no
space left for the attachment Of muscles
for powerful jaw. Cooked food also
causes a degeneracy in the development
Of the jaw There is constantly no room
left for either the wisdom teeth or the
second upper incisors, the wisdom teeth
are retarded, often cause great pain, and
decay early. Tie second incisOrs appear
in startling and unexpected places, and
often lin America especially do not cut
the gum at all. Professor Cope says that
American dentists have observed that
the third molar teeth (wisdOm teeth are
in natives of the United States very liable
to imperfect growth or suppression, and
10 a degree entirely unknown among say
age or evea many civilized races"
The same suppression has been observed
in the outer pair Of superior incisors.
This is owing not only TO reduction in
the size of the arches OF the jaws, but to
successfully prolonged delay in the ap-
pearance Of the teeth. In the same way
rien, and tho man like apes, have fewer
teeth than tho lower monkeys, and these
again fewer than the insectiyorous nam
mails TO which they are most nearly allied.
When this difference in .icntition has
beoa established. civilized man may claim
TO place himself in new species, apart
from low savages as we'll as from high
apes.-Mrs. Alice Bodington in Popular
Science Monthly.

A Novel Social En.rrf 1inrncnf.

Another novelty in the limo Of social
entertainment is what might DC called
the reminiscent lecture. II w-s invented,
believe, by lady Of excellent family,
advanced in years and impoverished by
financial misfortunes, but whose social
position is beyond assault. She has
added considerably to her income by dc.
liyering drawing room talks upon her re-
collections ofAmerican society in the past,
70 subscribers, at $40 u course, out Of tho
ranks of tho society Of the present. Now
aud then, when she stops to take breath,
a pianist plays an air adapted to the oc-
casion. This performer is her only ex-
pense, and as pianists arc cheap just now,
he cannot cut deeply into the lecturers
profits. At any rate. her gains during
the past winter seem to have been tempt
ing enough to induce others y enter the
lists, and several are mentioned who will,
during the season to come, inform us
what the anteceden.s Of Mr.. McAllister's
select clan used to say and do in the good
old times before the war. To judge from
the couple Of lectures that listented to
last winter, society in the past was neither
as lively nor as interesting as that OF to-
day, though II was certainly dull enough
to be more respectable. ALFRED Tumble

Coooanrt Culture In Florida.

Il is probable that the cultivation Of
the cocoanut for profit will always, in
Florida. be confined to the region on the
KEYS and mainland south Of the Caloosa
hatchie river though the palm will con-
tinuc to be grown for its great beauty, or
a chance crop Of nuts. in protected spots,
even rs far north as the latitude Of Tampa
and Cape Canaveral. The cocoauu,s pro-
duced in Florida are 4 trife smaller than
those Of the tropics. and arc not con-
sidersd SO valuable for seed, hence most
Of those used for planting are procured
from Central America, more especially
from the Bay Islands (Utilla, Bonaco and
Ruatan) and mainland Of Honduras.
The nuts that have not sprouted Oh the
voyage are sometimes planted in nursery
beds and transplanted when year or
eighteen months old. Only a small per
cent. fails to germiRate. though some
times the sprouts are a year or moro in
appearing. The distance apart at which
they are planted varies from fifteen to
twenty five feet; twenty feet is tho usual
distance. The only cultivation given on
the Keys is the occasional cutting OF The
weeds and underground in spring and

Railway Biiis In Parliament.

Few Of the outside public can have any
idea Of the enormous cost Of getting
railway bill through parliament. Tho
parliamentary. surveying and engineering
costs Of the Kendall and Windermerc
company amounted to trife over 2 per
cent on the whole expenditure OF the
line parliamentary costs the Brighton
railway averaged ei.SO6 per mile; Nan
chester and Birmingham, IS, 100, Black.
wall. el4.4li These figures are almost
beyond belief. when we consider that
some English lines in favorable positions
cost altogether only 10000 per mile.
The Brighton line for two sessions fought
4 desperate battle against several other
companies, and when its bill came before
the committee tho expenses OF counsel
and witnesses amounted TO over 81 900 a
dav. and the discussion Of the measure
lasted City days.
The solicitors bill Of the Southeastern
railway contained 10000 folos. occupy.
ing twelve months in taxatons and
amounted to e2i0.000. One company
found such difficulty in getting their bill
through its preliminary stages that Mt
last. when they had reached the long de
sired last stage. they had already spent
nearly amillion Of money. and this simply
for obtaining the privilege Of making the
railway OF the terrible costs which have
been incurred only to lead to ultimate
failure, one instance viii be sufficient.
The discussion upon the Stone and Rugby
bill lasted sizty-six sitting days, fiom
February till August, 1889; and in the
year 1910 the measure was defeated, after
having resulted in loss OF $4,000 to
its unhappy promoters.
1t is needless to say that such enormous
expenditure cripplos many railway, and
prevents its shareholders from ever earn
ing good dividends. The ceaseless
energy, untiring perseverance AMI neat
diplomacy which havo to be shown in
pushing a railway bill to a successful is

much to be desired that some means
should be discovered Of keeping down tho

Stories OF Confederate Money.

Congressman Grimes. who represents
the Fourth Georgia district. told couple
OF stories very pertinent to the subject
and which greatly amused bis auditors
la the latter part 81 1855, said Dir
Grimes. "a young man VINO ived IN la
Grange, Ga. became possessed OF the sum
of 500 In Confederate money lie was
OF n thrifty turn and wanted to add to It.
With that purpose IN view lac invested his
money in bar'l Of whisky This he sold
by the drink. and Of the end of the week
had disposed OF the whole barrel and had
81 POO in hand q net profit OF 500. Tho
Young man was highly elatcd. He saw
his way clear TO fortune In n snort time
"Of course he decided to buy more
whisky at wholesale and sell it by tho
small rleasure, but he Lad not taken into
account the wear and tear which the
credit of the Confederacy had suffered
during the week which it had taken lin
TO sell out his barrel When he went TO
invest in another supply hc found that no
could not make purchase similar TO his
first ono for less than 81 800. The financial
fluctuations Involved in tic transactions
Knocked him so completely out that ne re
tired permanently FROM commercial lie

When bis hearers had finished laughing
at this story, Mr Crimes gave them the
