sHooTrNG THE BURGLAR.
How u Young Man Was ETectuaIly Cured
of Dissipation.

A well-known young man of this city,
who will recognize himself as the hero OF
this thrilling tale, shot and mortally
wounded a large and expensive pier glass
in his fathers parlor.
He came in very late latter an unsuc-
cessful effort to unlock the front door
with his umbrella) through an untastened
coal-hole in the sidewalk. Coming to
himself toward daylight, he found him
self-spring overcoat, silk hat, Jag and
all-stretched out in the bath-tub.
With some little difficulty he preached his
room, and was just about to light the gas
with his nightkey when he hearda suspic-
ious sound on the lower floor. Convinced
that 1t was burglars he wendell his some
what tortuous way to n table near by and
took from the drawer his loaded revolver.
He made noise enough going down stairs
to have announced his coming to a deaf
man, but finally reached the parlor door
and crept through the doorway on all
tours.
In the middle of the room he rose to his
knees, then to his feet. A dark figure
rose simultaneously in front of him. rs
the young man raised his pistol the morn
ing twilight bashed on ii gleaming weapon
in the hand of the other.
"Hol' OH, micl m'fren"' the young man
exclaimed. "I've gle! got sh' drob on

The pistol flashed simultaneously; the
house rang with a loud report, and a crash
of glass instantly followed it.

As regards the teeth, it must b. al

Grinding teeth are required for animals

necessary for animals which nibble soft
substances like grasses and some fruits;
tearing teeth are essential for animals
which actually tear tough and resistant

practice and argument.
But then there remain those four tear
ing fangs, those canine or dogs 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 that the flesh-eating
tendency is the strongest altogether. No;
1t Is certain that the balance turns fairly
the other way.
1t may, however, be argued, that very
fact of the existence of only four tearing
teeth gives countenance to the belief that
nature has supplied the human animal

true, but only to a 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.
The canine tooth itself, even in the dog,
has been exceptionally so modified from
this cause as to lead to n characteristic
