Talking Keeps Him Warm.

"What is the reason that street fakir
makes so much more noise with his calling
of his wares in cold weather than in warm!''
asked a reporter of an old time street vender.
"Well, you see," he said, it keeps man
warm to talk. You don't believe it, but I
tell you it's true. Why it is never was able
to tell but it is as it is if it isn't as it ought
to be-" and he leered gleefully at his play on
words. "Why, if 1 start in to sell with my

my blood is steaming and l am on the point
of breaking into perspiration. The first

Oriental Dentistry.

had slept little, as was suffering greatly
from toothache. The sheik declared that
there was a skillful dentist in the encamp-
ment, and as the pain was almost unbearable,
! made up my mind to put myself in his
hands rather than endure it any longer. He
was accordingly sent for. He was tall,
muscular Arab, His instruments consisted
of q short knife or razor and kind of iron
awl. He babe me sit on the ground, and
then took my head firmly between his knees.
After cutting away the gums he applied the
aWl to the roots of the tooth, and, striking
the other end Of it with all his might, ex-
pected to see the tooth fly into the air. But
it Vas a double one, and not to be removed
by such means from the jaw. The awl slipped
and made a severe wound in my palate.
He insisted on second trial, declaring that
he could not but succeed. But the only result
was that he broke off large piece of tho
tooth, and had suffered sufficient agony to
decline third xperiment.-Early Advent

A COUGH PREVENTING SCHOOL.
How the Advice of Physicians on This
Natter Is Made Practical.

matter Is Made Practical.
A physicians advice, not to cough when
you want to cough, now being circulated in
the newspapers, is believed to be sound by
some who have tried it. Mr.. CLARK Bel, g.
lawyer and president of the Medico-Legal
society OF this city, has had some experience
IN suppresslng the tendency to cough, which
1t is interesting to hear him relate. He had
a constant irritation in the throat and a
cough Somebody told him of teacher in
the art of chow not to cough when you want
to-" and to that teacher Mr. Bell HE'D with
OUT delay. Sure enough, pupils, with all
brands OF coughs attached to them, We're
there to learn how to lay their bronchial
burdens down. Most of them were men i'll
the serious and learned professions and pur-
suits OF life, and they acted like awkward
shamefaced schoolboys, knowing that they
were there to learn so foolish, if not down
right impossible, a thing as getting the whip
hand of a cough without medicine Still,
there were stories of others who had learned
it, and these were the days of learning and
doing new things, so they held themselves in
readiness to make rapid progress.
The teacher stood them in q row, made
them brace back their shoulders, hold up
their chins and draw in their abdomens.
, This last was not easy of accomplishment to
some of them, who had previously permitted
their abdomens great license in the way of
development and obtrusiveness; but they
heroically made the attempt When the class
was in order the teacher told them to sing
''Sweet Home" But they couldn't sing
some of them said. They must, the teacher
said. Finally they squeaked away, and then
their Threats began to cut up. The teacher
forbade any throat securing or coughing,
but told them to draw in long breath and
hold it whenever they were tempted to cough
After many failures they succeeded
They met in class three times week, and
spent an hour in singing. Their throat
troubles soon retired under the overpowering
if not harmonious influence of their vocaliza.
ton. They even fattered themselves that
they became pretty good singers. They were
forbidden to cough or scour their threats
when out of class Mr.. Bell said there were
hours when he would have given years in
come for the privilege of tearing away at his
throat in the old time fashion, but he wouldn't
yield to the temptation, and at last all throat
torment left him.
Another benefit which the exercises brought
to the most dubious of the class. 1t reduced
them in girth several inches, for which they
were correspondingly grateful.-New York

Development of Dental Science.

Say, if you want something pleasant to
think of when you're in dentists chair, and
he is fishing down into the root of one of
your teeth for the end of a nerve think of
this, that it is only a few years since tho only
dentists were the regular physicians, and all
they knew about dentistry was to throw a
hideous kind of steel graphing hook around
tooth and then haul away until something
came. Now dentist has to be thorough
chemist, practical metallurgist, a good
physician an anatomist, a surgeon, a vul-
eanized rubber worker, to some extent an
electrician, and have some feeling for the
sufferings of the people who come under his
care, That's the way dental science has de-
veloped in quarter of century. New

Russian Railway Depot Restaurants.


The eating stations along the Russian roads
are well kept, and at the table d'hote break
fasts and dinners are served which are usually
equal, if not superior, to the average of
American railway restaurants. Instead of
wine and beer being offered at the tables and
the bars, as in other portions of Europe, hot
tea OF the most delicious flavor is served at
every station, generally being brought out
IN large glasses, with slice of lemon floating
on the top in the Oriental way. Tea is the
national drink of Russia, and the people
the upper and middle classes-drink it as
freely and as frequently as the mouiik takes
his vodka The tea is brought overland from
CHINA, and has flavor that tea which has
been subjected to an ocean voyage can never
keep. There is something in the danpness
of the atmosphere at sea that robs the leaf of
Its aroma, and one who has tasted tea that
has never been in vessel will never enioy
that which has.
In each station, as in each private house, is
samovar, great brass urn, filled with hot
water, with a fire of charcoal under it, As
the train arrives, the porcelain pot in which
which the tea leaves are standing is filed
from the samover shaken a little SO as to let
all the leaves get thoroughly soaked, and
then the steaming liquor is poured into glasses
upon sugar and lemon. No milk or cream is
ever used in Russian tea-the people thini,
they spoil thor is the tea ever ''steeped."
They say it makes it bitter. 1t is always
served in glasses hot as possible, and the
average allowance is ten or twelve glasses a
day. The Russian merchant has sa1nover
in his counting room, and the lawyer or the
mechanic goes out to his cafe or tea as often
as the German for beer or the Frenchnran for
wine At the cafes at all hours of the day
and night one can see crowds of people Sip
ping tea, They serve it at booths in the
streets in the cities, like the lemonade men Oh,
the streets of New York, and instead of ask
ing man to take drink of whisky or beer,
the Russian invites him to glass of tea. The
glasses are large, and stand in little frames OF
silver OF other metal, with handles for pre-
lection or convenience. Elaroy

The Four Calls.

The Four Calls.
The Spirit came in Childhood,
And pleaded, "Let me in"
But ah, the door was bolted
Aid barred by childish sin.
The child said, ~ n too little;
There's time enough. to-day
Icannot open;' sadly
The Spirit went his way.
Again he came and pleaded
In youths bright, happy hour.
He called, but heard no answer;
For fettered in SINS power.
The youth lay dreaming idly.
And crying, mot to-day;
For must have some pleasure;'
Again he turned away.
Again he came in mercy,
In manhOod's vigorous prime;
But still could find no welcome
The merchant had mo time''
To spare for true repentance,
No time to praise and pray;
And thus. repulsed and soddened.
The Spirit turned away
Once more he called and waited.
The man was old and sad;
= He scarcely heard the VIII sper.
His heart was scared ami bad.

I'll call for thee" he cried;
Then, sinking on lis pillow,
Without God he died.

Stops the Bells Jincliup,

The statute forbidding Ger companies to
have been On their horses on Sunday is we'll
known, but tiny contrivance, by which the
law is observed, is not. 1t would be expen-
slve and troublesome to remove the thou
sands of bells, and so at midnight on Satul-
day tiny rubber band, similar to those used
on umbrellas, is quickly slipped around each
clapper, and this explains why the bells on
the harness on Sunday give out no jingling.

AffiXing the Great SEAL.

The secretary has no right to affix the great
seal to any paper without warrant from
the president authorizing him to do So This
warrant is always filed with the document so
sealed, and reads as follows:
authorize and direct the secretary Of state to
cause the great seal of the United States to be
affixed to-whateverd document may be described
dated this day, and signed by me- and for so doing
this shall be the warrant.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
President of the United States
The great seal is affixed to nothing but
treaties, proclamations, commissions, par
dons and passports. The old seal, which had
been in use since the foundation of the gov
eminent, was worn out and replaced by an
other two years ago. 1t is curious fact
that the old one that was used so long was
imperfect and never did answer to the de-
scription set down in the statutes Although
this seal is such solemn affair, and the
penalty for its improper use is so tremendous,
it is left in charge of clerk, just like any
other piece of furniture, and the secretary
seldom if ever sees it. In olden times the
seal used to be guarded with great vigilance,
as its appearance upon a document gave it
the force of law, but now the people look in
the newspapers and not on piece of parch-
ment for their information. With a large
colony OF correspondents at Washington,
there is little use of seal to attest the
commences OF documents, except as evidence

The Central Cross.

In the palace Of Justice Mt Rome they take
you sometimes into n chamber with strange
ly painted irescoes on the ceiling and around
the walls and upon the floor in all kinds Of
grotesque forms. You cannot reduce them
to harmony, you cannct make out the per.
spectlvc; 1t il n bewildering maze OF confu.
sion. But there is one spot upon tho foor
OF TINT room, and one only, standing upon
which, every line falls into harmony; the
perspective is perfect, the picture flashes out
upon you, instinct with meaning in every
line and panel. You can sea at that point,
md that only, the design Of the artist that
painted it.
! believe that this world is just as bewilder-
ing maze looked at at every point except
one look back upon the records of history;
l endeavor TO gaze into the future Of this
worlds career; wherever / turn l am OPP
posed 10y the mysteries that hem me in and
crush me down, until take my stand at tho
foot of the Cross. Then darkness and dis
cord become light and harmony the mystery
Is solved; the night that shuts me In becomes
radiant with the Divine light and glory. At
the foot OF the Cross, art, science, literature,
history become at once TO me Divine. a
glorious and n blessed thing. And SO l claim
for my Lord His rightful dominion over all
the works of His hands. We will gather all
the beauties Of art, nll tho treasures of
music, all that is brightest and best in this
world, and we will lay them down at His
feet; for, worthy is the Lamb that was
slain to receive might, and majesty. and
riches, and power, n nd honor, and glory"
His is the sceptre, His is the right, His this
universal world.
