Bismarck in the Rcichstar.

1t is more interesting to watch Bismarck
when making one of his great speeches than
to listen to him. His words are far stronger
and make much more of III impression in
cold type than when they fall from his lips.
This shows their inherent force and weight.
His delivery is slow; lie always USES the cX
act word he wants and his facts are mar
>!!aled in clear and lucid order. When H..
first rises to speak a great silence falls uy,un
the rciclstag; not even a whisper is heard,
and the deputies of all shades of political
opinion crowd as closely as possible around
him. fearful lest they might lose n single
syllable of what lie says. Bismarck has little
or no rhetorical action. His motions are not
graceful, his voice is husky and unmusical,
and some of his sentences are as long aSthoSe
Of our W Evarts. During Il debate he
makes frequent notes in Il coarse, scruwling
hand. When attacked by some keen oppo-
ncnts lie grows nervous, shifts in his seat, his
pen shakes between his iinSersand very often
his hand goes mcnacingly to his sword hilt,
for Bismarck, while he is the first civil Off
Ger III the empire, is at the same time II gen
cral of cavalry, and always wears his I'M
lircss uniform in the reicliStng.
When aroused his cbullitions of passion
are frequently terrible. His great frame
p%uivers with emotion and his gray blue eyes
flash fire as lie turns towards the benches of
his adycrsarics and demands to know who it
was that Kissed him. Scenes of this charac-
ter, however. arc of rare occurrence in recent
years. He is mcrciless in rctort, unspariny
OF persons, no matter their age, their per-
sonal services to himself OF to the empire.
He possesses II caustic hmnor, which he uses
with great effect. y master of invcctive,

SECOND HAND FALSE TEETH.

Quite q Trade Driven in the Artificial
A%djuncts of the Human Frame.
Ono of the hoariest chestnuts in the circus
clowns and minstrel mans barrel Of stock
jokes is that which relates to second hand
false teeth. Any allusion to second hand
falS'' teeth is, to this day. certain to elicit a
gutfaw from most of the audience, vet there's
4uitea trade driven in these artificial adjuncts
of the human frame, unless the advertise
ments play us false. 1t seems to have begun
in London and to have reached New York, rs
most London fashions do, u year or two late.
In one advertisement l read that Mr.. and
Mrs. X, ''wardrobe purchasers to any
amount. have an unlimited commission to
purchase for ready money" any kinds Of
ladies', gentlemcn's and children's left off
clothes of every description, miscellaneous
articles; window curtains and every descrip-
ton of household linen, etc.; "full value
given for artificial teeth"
And in another column of the same paper.
under a cut of n set of worries that grinned
humorously Mt ME, as if approaching tho
joke, this pathetic appeal:
"Old artificial teeth bought. Persons wish
ing to receive full value should apply to the
manufacturing Dentists instead of to ward
robe buyers. If forwarded by post the valuo
per return."
The sets, nm told, are broken up, and the
teeth used over again in new plates. What
wears out about artificial teeth is the plates.
The teeth themselves remain sound, and NAV
be made to serve any number of owners,
which must be an agreeable reflection for
persons who are compelled to substitute art
for nature i'll these very necessary accesso-
RIGS of the complete human body. One thing
that struck mo i'll the matter was tho enor-
nous demand there must be for artificial
teeth when it can be found profitable to
trade in them in this way. But this is q pro-
gressive and inventive age, III nothing is
wasted, from second hand building mate

tifc weekly that n process has been invented

Russia,s Comfortable Drill, Rooms.


During the winter, when the cold is SO in
tense as to make out door drilling and ma
neuvers impossible, regiments and brigades
of soldiers, both cavalry, infantry and ar
tillery, are exercised in great structures
known as the riding schools, which cover
several acres of ground, are heated by steam
and afford not only commodious but COM
Portable drill rooms for large bodies Of
troops. The riding school at Moscow is the
largest apartment in the world, the iron roof
being supported by trusses, and furnishes
plenty of space for u whole brigade of cav
